BANCFIRST CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(1)

GENERAL

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BancFirst Corporation, Council Oak Partners, LLC, BancFirst Insurance Services Inc., and BancFirst and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). The operating subsidiaries of BancFirst are Council Oak Investment Corporation, Council Oak Real Estate, Inc., BancFirst Agency, Inc., Lenders Collection Corporation and BancFirst Community Development Corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Assets held in a fiduciary or agency capacity are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited interim financial statements contained herein reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. There have been no significant changes in the accounting policies of the Company since December 31, 2009, the date of the most recent annual report and audited financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States inherently involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the related disclosures. These estimates relate principally to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, income taxes, the fair values of financial instruments and the valuation of intangibles. Such estimates and assumptions may change over time and actual amounts realized may differ from those reported.

(2)

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Fair Vale Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require entities to make new disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The new requirements are as follows: (1) a reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and the reasons for the transfers, and (2) in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. The FASB also clarified existing fair-value measurement disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation of assets and liabilities, and information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair-value measurements. Except for certain detailed Level 3 disclosures, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and interim periods within those fiscal years, the new guidance is effective for the Company’s financial statements for the periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this disclosure-only guidance will not have an effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. See Note 14 for disclosure.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20 Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses which expands the disclosure requirements concerning the credit quality of an entity’s financing receivables and its allowance for loan losses. The new disclosures that relate to information as of the end of the reporting period is effective as of December 31, 2010, whereas the disclosures related to activity that occurred during the reporting periods is effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of this disclosure-only guidance will not have an effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS

On October 8, 2010, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Union National Bancshares, Inc., and its subsidiary bank, Union Bank of Chandler with offices in Chandler and Tulsa, Oklahoma. As of September 30, 2010, Union Bank of Chandler had approximately $132 million in total assets, $90 million in loans, $116 million in deposits, and $15 million in equity capital. The bank will operate under its present name until it is merged into BancFirst, which is expected to be on November 12, 2010. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the results of operations for the Company.

On September 30, 2010, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire OK Bancorporation, Inc., and its subsidiary bank, The Okemah National Bank. The Okemah National Bank has approximately $74 million in total assets, $32 million in loans, $59 million in deposits, and $13 million in equity capital. The bank will operate as The Okemah National Bank until it is merged into BancFirst, which is expected to be during October, 2011. The transaction is scheduled to be completed by December 15, 2010, and is subject to regulatory approval. The acquisition is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations for the Company.

On September 2, 2010, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire Exchange Bancshares of Moore, Inc., and its subsidiary bank, Exchange National Bank of Moore. Exchange National Bank of Moore has approximately $146 million in total assets, $57 million in loans, $109 million in deposits, and $13 million in equity capital. The bank will operate as Exchange National Bank of Moore until it is merged into BancFirst, which is expected to be during the second quarter of 2011. The transaction is scheduled to be completed by December 15, 2010. The acquisition is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations for the Company.

The Company expects to incur total intangibles of approximately $14.6 million for the above combined acquisitions, which will result in an increase in excess cost of approximately $11.1 million and an increase in core deposit intangibles of approximately $3.5 million. The above acquisitions will add approximately $350 million in total assets, $174 million in loans and $287 million in deposits by year end. The effects of these acquisitions will be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition forward. The Company does not believe these acquisitions, individually or in aggregate will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010 the Company elected to cease participation as of June 30, 2010 in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (“TAGP”) for extended coverage of noninterest bearing transaction deposit accounts. At June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $641 million of deposits covered under this program.

On April 1, 2010, the Company’s insurance agency BancFirst Insurance Services, Inc., formerly known as Wilcox, Jones & McGrath, Inc., completed its acquisition of RBC Agency, Inc., which has offices in Shawnee and Stillwater. BancFirst Insurance Services, Inc. has offices in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Lawton and Muskogee. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the results of operations for the Company.

On March 21, 2010, Congress passed student loan reform centralizing student lending in a governmental agency, which as of June 30, 2010 resulted in an end to the student loan programs provided by the Company. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $203 million of student loans with $145 million held for sale all of which were sold in October 2010.

On December 8, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of First Jones Bancorporation. First State Bank, Jones operated as a subsidiary of BancFirst Corporation until it was merged into BancFirst in early March 2010. The acquisition enhanced the presence of BancFirst in eastern Oklahoma County. The acquisition did not have a material effect on the results of operations for the Company.

On May 22, 2009 the FDIC imposed a Special Assessment on member financial institutions that was based on June 30, 2009 assets less tier one capital. The amount of $1.9 million was expensed on June 30, 2009.

The Company’s loans are mostly to customers within Oklahoma and over half of the loans are secured by real estate. Credit risk on loans is managed through limits on amounts loaned to individual borrowers, underwriting standards and loan monitoring procedures. The amounts and types of collateral obtained, if any, to secure loans are based upon the Company’s underwriting standards and management’s credit evaluation. Collateral varies, but may include real estate, vehicles, equipment, accounts receivable, inventory and securities. The Company’s interest in collateral is secured through filing mortgages and liens, and in some cases, by possession of the collateral.

Loans held for sale include $145.2 million, $77.6 million and $82.4 million of guaranteed student loans for the periods ended September 30, 2010, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Student loans are classified as consumer loans in the preceding table and valued at the lower of cost or market.

The amount of estimated loss due to credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio is provided for in the allowance for loan losses. The amount of the allowance required to provide for all existing losses in the loan portfolio is an estimate based upon evaluations of loans, appraisals of collateral and other estimates which are subject to rapid change due to changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers. Given the current environment of instability in the economy at large, it is possible that a material change could occur in the estimated allowance for loan losses in the near term.

CAPITAL

The Company is subject to risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. These guidelines are used to evaluate capital adequacy and involve both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory practices. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory or discretionary actions by the regulatory agencies that could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The required minimums and the Company’s respective ratios are shown in the following table (dollars in thousands):


	Minimum			September 30,						December 31,
	Required			2010			2009			2009
Tier 1 capital				$	425,627		$	397,706		$	403,875
Total capital				$	461,308		$	433,722		$	440,258

Total capital ratio		8.00	%		15.78	%		14.87	%		14.96	%

As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and December 31, 2009, BancFirst was considered to be “well capitalized”. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification of BancFirst’s capital category that management believes would change its category.

STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN

In November 1999, the Company adopted a new Stock Repurchase Program (the “SRP”). The SRP may be used as a means to increase earnings per share and return on equity, to purchase treasury stock for the exercise of stock options or for distributions under the Deferred Stock Compensation Plan, to provide liquidity for optionees to dispose of stock from exercises of their stock options, and to provide liquidity for shareholders wishing to sell their stock. The timing, price and amount of stock repurchases under the SRP may be determined by management and approved by the Company’s Executive Committee. At September 30, 2010 there were 543,900 shares remaining that could be repurchased under the SRP.

The following table is a summary of the shares repurchased under the program.


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

BancFirst Corporation adopted a nonqualified incentive stock option plan (the “BancFirst ISOP”) in May 1986. The Company amended the BancFirst ISOP to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan to 2,650,000 shares in May 2009. At September 30, 2010, 79,860 shares are available for future grants. The BancFirst ISOP will terminate December 31, 2014. The options are exercisable beginning four years from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years. Options granted expire at the end of fifteen years from the date of grant. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2010 will become exercisable through the year 2017. The option price must be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock relating to such option at the date of grant.

In June 1999, the Company adopted the BancFirst Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan”). Each non-employee director is granted an option for 10,000 shares. The Company amended the BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares to be issued under the plan to 205,000 shares in May 2009. At September 30, 2010, 50,000 shares are available for future grants. The options are exercisable beginning one year from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years, and expire at the end of fifteen years from the date of grant. Options outstanding as of September 30, 2010 will become exercisable through the year 2011. The option price must be no less than 100% of the fair value of the stock relating to such option at the date of grant.

The following table is a summary of the activity under both the BancFirst ISOP and the BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan (dollars in thousands, except per share data):


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

The following table is additional information regarding options granted and options exercised under both the BancFirst ISOP and the BancFirst Directors’ Stock Option Plan (dollars in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009

Cash received from options exercised		615		25		1,390		262
Tax benefit realized from options exercised		170		8		492		85

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is based on certain assumptions including risk-free rate of return, dividend yield, stock price volatility, and the expected term. The fair value of each option is expensed over its vesting period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded share-based employee compensation expense of approximately $236,000 and $149,000, respectively, net of tax and approximately $606,000 and $475,000 net of tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company will continue to amortize the remaining fair value of these stock options of approximately $5.8 million, net of tax, over the remaining vesting period of approximately seven years. The following table shows the assumptions used for computing share-based employee compensation expense under the fair value method.


	2010			2009
Risk-free interest rate		3.08	%		3.64	%
Dividend yield		2.00	%		1.50	%
Stock price volatility		27.77	%		63.28	%
Expected term		10 Yrs			10 Yrs

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

SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

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

The financial information for each business unit is presented on the basis used internally by management to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The Company utilizes a transfer pricing system to allocate the benefit or cost of funds provided or used by the various business units. Certain revenues related to other financial services are allocated to the banks whose customers receive the services and, therefore, are not reflected in the income for other financial services. Certain services provided by the support group to other business units, such as item processing, are allocated at rates approximating the cost of providing the services. Eliminations are adjustments to consolidate the business units and companies.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 (formerly FAS 157) establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

•

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

•

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

•

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

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

Securities Available for Sale

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

Derivatives

Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The Company obtains dealer and market quotations to value its oil and gas swaps and options. The Company utilizes dealer quotes and observable market data inputs to substantiate internal valuation models.

Loans Held For Sale

The Company originates mortgage and student loans to be sold. At the time of origination, the acquiring bank or governmental agency has already been determined and the terms of the loan, including interest rate, have already been set by the acquiring bank, allowing the Company to originate the loan at fair value. Mortgage loans are generally sold within 30 days of origination and student loans are generally sold within one year. Loans held for sale are carried at lower of cost or market. Gains or losses recognized upon the sale of the loans are determined on a specific identification basis.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Due from Banks; Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Bearing Deposits

The carrying amount of these short-term instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities

For securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans

For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some residential mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. For residential mortgage loans held for sale and guaranteed student loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Derivatives

Derivatives are reported at fair value using dealer quotes and observable market data.

Deposits

The fair value of transaction and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Short-term Borrowings

The amount payable on these short-term instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The fair value of fixed-rate junior subordinated debentures is estimated using the rates that would be charged for junior subordinated debentures of similar remaining maturities.

Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit

The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the terms of the agreements. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

Non-financial Assets and Liabilities

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis include goodwill and other intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets. These items are evaluated annually for impairment of which there was none as of September 30, 2010 or 2009. The overall level of non-financial assets and liabilities were not significant to the Company at September 30, 2010 or 2009.

The Company is required under current authoritative accounting guidance to disclose the estimated fair value of their financial instrument assets and liabilities including those subject to the requirements discussed above. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, substantially all of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments as defined.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is dependent on liquidation of the collateral. The impaired loans are adjusted to fair value through a specific allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses.

Application of ASC Topic 820 to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities became effective January 1, 2009. The Company has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

Foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, are measured and adjusted to fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for possible loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset.

Other real estate owned is remeasured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition, with any losses recognized in net expense from other real estate owned.

The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2010 and the related gains or losses recognized during the period (amounts and dollars in thousands).

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company enters into oil and gas swaps and options contracts to accommodate the business needs of its customers. Upon the origination of an oil or gas swap or option contract with a customer, the Company simultaneously enters into an offsetting contract with a counterparty to mitigate the exposure to fluctuations in oil and gas prices. These derivatives are not designated as hedged instruments and are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value.

The Company utilizes dealer quotations and observable market data inputs to substantiate internal valuation models. The notional amounts and estimated fair values of oil and gas derivative positions outstanding are presented in the following table (notional amounts and dollars in thousands):


			September 30,												December 31,

The Company recognized income related to the activity, which was included in other noninterest income, of $178,000 and $121,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $388,000 and $572,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company’s credit exposure on oil and gas swaps and options varies based on the current market prices of oil and natural gas. Other than credit risk, changes in the fair value of customer positions will be offset by equal and opposite changes in the counterparty positions. The net positive fair value of the contracts is the profit derived from the activity and is unaffected by market price movements.

Customer credit exposure is managed by strict position limits and is primarily offset by first liens on production while the remainder is offset by cash. Counterparty credit exposure is managed by selecting highly rated counterparties (rated A- or better by Standard and Poor’s) and monitoring market information.

The Company had credit exposure relating to oil and gas swaps and options with bank counterparties of approximately $6.3 million at September 30, 2010, $7.9 million at September 30, 2009 and $6.1 million at December 31, 2009.

The Company entered into a $30 million five year guaranty with a counterparty on June 4, 2008 for the timely payment of the obligations of its subsidiary Bank related to the settlement of oil and gas positions.

SUMMARY

BancFirst Corporation’s net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $11.8 million compared to $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2009. Diluted net income per share was $0.75 and $0.60 for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. For the first nine months of 2010, net income was $32.1 million, compared to $22.8 million for the first nine months of 2009. Diluted net income per share for the first nine months of 2010 was $2.05 compared to $1.46 for the first nine months of 2009. The results for 2010 and 2009 include several one-time items that are more fully described below.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2010 was $36.1 million, up $3.1 million from $33.0 million for the third quarter of 2009. The increase was attributable to the improvement in the net interest margin combined with the growth in the Company’s earning assets. The Company’s net interest margin for the quarter was 3.40% up from 3.27% a year ago. The Company’s average earning assets were $4.2 billion an increase of $202 million compared to the third quarter of 2009. The loan losses provision for the quarter was $469,000 down from $998,000 for the third quarter of 2009. Noninterest income for the quarter was $18.2 million a $1.1 million increase over the same period in 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in insurance commissions. Noninterest expense for the quarter was $35.4 million, down slightly from $35.5 million in the third quarter a year ago.

Total assets at September 30, 2010 were $4.6 billion, up $277 million or 6.4% over September 30, 2009. Compared to year-end 2009, total assets grew by $183 million or 4.2%. Total loans were $2.8 billion, an increase of $43 million from September 30, 2009 and $17 million from December 31, 2009. At September 30, 2010 total deposits were $4.1 billion, up $251 million or 6.5% from September 30, 2009 and up $154 million or 3.9% from December 31, 2009. The Company’s liquidity remains strong as its average loan-to-deposit ratio was 69.2% at September 30, 2010 compared to 76.3% at September 30, 2009 and 74.6% at December 31, 2009. Stockholders’ equity was $454 million at September 30, 2010, an increase of $28 million or 6.6% over September 30, 2009 and $23 million or 5.4% from December 31, 2009. Average stockholders’ equity to average assets was 9.85% at September 30, 2010, compared to 10.26% at September 30, 2009 and 10.15% at December 31, 2009. The Company’s borrowings include no brokered deposits and no Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings at September 30, 2010.

Asset quality has improved somewhat in 2010 after deteriorating in 2009, which resulted in a ratio of nonperforming and restructured assets to total assets of 1.05% at September 30, 2010, compared to 1.35% at September 30, 2009 and 1.13% for the year ended December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses equaled 134.01% of nonperforming and restructured loans at September 30, 2010, versus 75.31% at September 30, 2009 and 91.06% at December 31, 2009. Net charge-offs to average loans decreased to 0.14% at September 30, 2010, compared to 0.36% at September 30, 2009 and 0.30% at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans remained fairly constant at 1.29% at September 30, 2010 compared to 1.33% at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009.

In April 2010 the Company elected to cease participation as of June 30, 2010 in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (“TAGP”) for extended coverage of noninterest bearing transaction deposit accounts. The standard insurance amount remains in effect for the Corporation’s deposit accounts. At June 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $641 million of deposits covered under this program.

On May 22, 2009 the FDIC increased deposit insurance premiums in 2009 and imposed a Special Assessment on member financial institutions that was based on June 30, 2009 assets less tier one capital. These increases caused the Company’s noninterest expense to increase in 2009. The amount of $1.9 million was expensed on June 30, 2009.

RECENT LEGISLATION

On July 21, 2010, the President signed a financial reform program that will, among other things, tighten capital standards, create a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and result in new laws and regulations that are expected to increase our costs of operations.

Congress recently enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). This new law will significantly change the current bank regulatory structure and affect the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The federal agencies are given significant discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations, and consequently, many of the details and much of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years.

Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are expected to have a near-term impact on the Company. Effective one year after the date of enactment is a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act that eliminates the federal prohibitions on paying interest on demand deposits, thus allowing businesses to have interest-bearing checking accounts. Depending on competitive responses, this significant change to existing law could have an adverse impact on the Company’s net interest margin. The Dodd-Frank Act also broadens the base for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance assessments. Assessments will now be based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increases the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2009, and non-interest bearing transaction accounts have unlimited deposit insurance through December 31, 2013.

The Dodd-Frank Act will require publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments, and authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission to promulgate rules that would allow stockholders to nominate their own candidates using a company’s proxy materials. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.

The Dodd-Frank Act creates a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices.

It is difficult to predict at this time what specific impact the Dodd-Frank Act and the yet to be written rules and regulations will have on community banks. However, it is expected that at a minimum they will increase the Company’s operating and compliance costs and could increase the Company’s interest expense.

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 9.5%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in income was attributable to decreasing deposit rates combined with growth in the Company’s earning assets. The Company’s net interest margin increased 0.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009, due to lower interest expense. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2010 included nonrecurring interest income on nonaccrual loans of $744,000.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $8.4 million, or 8.6%, from the same period in 2009. The increase in income was attributable primarily to the decrease in deposit rates. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included nonrecurring interest income on nonaccrual loans of $1.4 million. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 0.05% compared to the first nine months of 2009. The lower interest rate environment for the first nine months of 2010 compared to the first nine months of 2009, when rates declined substantially in the first quarter of 2009, has caused the Company’s net interest margin to decline. In addition, an increase in earning assets and a higher level of overnight investments at lower rates caused further compression of the net interest margin. This compression was somewhat offset by the implementation of interest rate floors on loans implemented during 2009. If interest rates do not increase, the Company could experience continued compression of its net interest margin as higher rate assets mature in a continued low interest rate environment. Furthermore, due to the interest rate floors implemented, short-term interest rates would have to increase approximately 100 basis points before the Company’s loan portfolio would experience a measurable increase in yield.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company’s provision for loan losses decreased $529,000 or 53.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to the same period a year ago. The larger provision in 2009 was due to an increase in non-performing loans. Net loan charge-offs were $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2010, compared to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2009. One charge-off of a commercial loan which had been fully provided for accounted for $3.5 million of the total for the third quarter of 2009. The rate of net charge-offs to average total loans is presented above.

The Company’s provision for loan losses decreased $7.0 million or 75.7% for the first nine months of 2010, compared to the same period a year ago, due to an increase in non-performing loans during 2009. The larger loan provision in 2009 was driven primarily by the identification of certain commercial credits that were internally downgraded by management. Net loan charge-offs were $2.9 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared to $7.5 million for the first nine months of 2009.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $1.1 million or 6.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in insurance commissions.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, increased slightly by $428,000 compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in noninterest income was due to an increase in insurance commissions and increased income on deposit service charges due to increased deposits, offset by lower revenue from treasury and cash management services as deposits swept into money-market funds declined and a decrease in the premium of loan sales.

The Company had income from check card usage totaling $9.4 million and $7.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As stated above under Recent Legislation the Dodd-Frank Act has given the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers. Because of the uncertainty as to any future rulemaking by the Federal Reserve, the Company cannot provide any assurance as the ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the amount of income from check card usage reported in future periods.

Noninterest Expense

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest expense decreased slightly by $92,000, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. Noninterest expense decreased compared to the previous year due to the ending of the Company’s participation in the TAGP program, which was somewhat offset by slightly higher operating expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, noninterest expense decreased by $433,000 or 0.41% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The nine months ended September 30, 2009 included an FDIC Special Assessment of $1.9 million. Apart from the Special Assessment, noninterest expense increased compared to the previous year due to expenses from acquisitions of $1.1 million and slightly higher operating expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate on income before taxes was 35.9% for the third quarter of 2010, compared to 30.5% for the third quarter of 2009. The increase is a result of federal and state tax credits combined with an increase in pretax earnings.

The Company’s effective tax rate on income before taxes was 35.4% for the first nine months of 2010, compared to 32.0% for the first nine months of 2009. The increase is a result of federal and state tax credits combined with an increase in pretax earnings.

Cash, Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Bearing Deposits with Banks

The aggregate of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold as of September 30, 2010 increased $15.0 million from September 30, 2009 and decreased $11.3 million from December 31, 2009. The increase year-over-year was mainly from deposit growth. The slight decrease from year end was due to deposit growth offset primarily by securities purchases. Federal funds sold consists of overnight investments of excess funds with other financial institutions. Due to the Federal Reserve Bank’s intervention in the Federal funds market that has resulted in near zero overnight fed funds rates, the Company has maintained its excess funds with the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank pays interest on these funds based upon the lowest target rate for the maintenance period.

Securities

At September 30, 2010, total securities increased $188.2 million compared to September 30, 2009 and $162.7 million compared to December 31, 2009. The increase was due primarily to purchases of securities to satisfy increased pledging requirements for public deposits after the Company’s decision to opt out of the TAGP. The size of the Company’s securities portfolio is a function of liquidity management and excess funds available for investment. The Company has maintained a very liquid securities portfolio to provide funds for loan growth. The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, before taxes, was $16.6 million at September 30, 2010, compared to an unrealized gain of $19.6 million at September 30, 2009, and an unrealized gain of $16.9 million at December 31, 2009.

Loans

At September 30, 2010, total loans were up $42.9 million or 1.6% from September 30, 2009 and $17.5 million or 0.6% from December 31, 2009. The increase was due primarily to an increase in student loans. At September 30, 2010, the allowance for loan losses decreased $335,000 or 0.9% from September 30, 2009, and $702,000 or 1.9% from year-end 2009. The allowance as a percentage of total loans was 1.29%, 1.33% and 1.33% at September 30, 2010, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The allowance to nonperforming and restructured loans at the same dates was 134.01%, 75.31% and 91.06%, respectively.

On March 21, 2010, Congress passed student loan reform centralizing student lending in a governmental agency, which as of June 30, 2010 resulted in an end to the student loan programs provided by the Company. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $145 million of student loans held for sale, all of which were sold in October 2010.

Nonperforming Loans, Restructured Loans and Other Real Estate Owned

Nonperforming and restructured loans totaled $26.6 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $47.8 million at September 30, 2009 and $40.0 million at December 31, 2009. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company transferred a commercial real estate property consisting of undeveloped land into other real estate owned. In September 2010, the Company transferred two commercial properties totaling $11.6 million from nonperforming loans to other real estate owned. The properties were recorded at net realizable value. A related nonperforming commercial real estate property was sold at a sheriff’s sale for $6.3 million which paid off the Company’s loan balance and the interest due on the loan. The level of nonperforming loans and loan losses may rise over time as a result of economic conditions.

Potential problem loans are performing loans to borrowers with a weakened financial condition, or which are experiencing unfavorable trends in their financial condition, which causes management to have concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the existing repayment terms. The Company had approximately $60.0 million of these loans at September 30, 2010 compared to $72.3 million at September 30, 2009 and $73.6 million at December 31, 2009. These loans are not included in nonperforming and restructured assets. In general, these loans are adequately collateralized and have no specific identifiable probable loss. Loans which are considered to have identifiable probable loss potential are placed on nonaccrual status, are allocated a specific allowance for loss or are directly charged-down, and are reported as nonperforming. The Company’s nonaccrual loans are primarily commercial and real estate loans.

Deposits

At September 30, 2010 total deposits increased $250.7 million compared to September 30, 2009, and $153.6 million compared to December 31, 2009. The increase from September 30, 2009 was due largely to overnight sweep funds that moved into low-rate interest-bearing transaction accounts due to low interest rates on money market funds. These deposits were insured because the Company participated in the TAGP and continued to do so until June 30, 2010, at which time the Company elected to terminate participation in the TAGP. The Company’s core deposits provide it with a stable, low-cost funding source. The Company’s deposit base continues to be comprised substantially of core deposits, with large denomination certificates of deposit being only 8.7% of total deposits at September 30, 2010, compared to 10.7% at September 30, 2009 and 9.7% at December 31, 2009. Noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits were 30.2% at September 30, 2010, compared to 28.2% at September 30, 2009 and 29.5% at December 31, 2009.

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings increased $1.6 million from September 30, 2009, and $2.6 million from December 31, 2009 to $2.7 million at September 30, 2010. Fluctuations in short-term borrowings are a function of Federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, customer demand for repurchase agreements and liquidity needs of the bank.

The Company does not have any borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank at September 30, 2010.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Stockholders’ equity increased $28.2 million from September 30, 2009 and $23.1 million from December 31, 2009, due to accumulated earnings. The ratios of average stockholders’ equity to average assets are presented above. The Company’s leverage ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 9.34% and 15.78%, respectively, at September 30, 2010, well in excess of the regulatory minimums.

See note (8) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of capital ratio requirements.

There have not been material changes from the liquidity and funding discussion included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have not been material changes in the resources required for scheduled repayments of contractual obligations from the table of Contractual Cash Obligations included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no significant changes in the Registrant’s disclosures regarding market risk since December 31, 2009, the date of its annual report to stockholders.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Disclosure Committee, which includes the Company’s Chief Risk Officer, Chief Asset Quality Officer, Chief Internal Auditor, Senior Vice President of Corporate Finance and Treasurer, Controller and General Counsel, have evaluated, as of the last day of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation they concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms. No changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the third fiscal quarter of 2010 that materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims and legal actions that have arisen in the normal course of conducting business. None of these actions are believed by management to involve amounts that will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company is not currently aware of any additional or material changes to pending or threatened litigation against the Company or its subsidiaries or that involves any of the Company or its subsidiaries property that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

Except as set forth below, as of September 30, 2010, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Recently enacted regulatory reforms could have a significant impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act represents a significant overhaul of many aspects of the regulation of the financial-services industry, addressing, among other things, systemic risk, capital adequacy, deposit insurance assessments, consumer financial protection, interchange fees, derivatives, lending limits, and changes among the bank regulatory agencies. Many of these provisions are subject to further study, rule making, and the discretion of regulatory bodies, such as the Financial Stability Oversight Council, which will regulate the systemic risk of the financial system. While the provisions of the Act receiving the most public attention have generally been those more likely to affect larger institutions, the Dodd-Frank Act also contains many provisions which will affect smaller institutions such as ours in substantial ways. Compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act’s provisions may curtail our revenue opportunities, increase our operating costs, require us to hold higher levels of regulatory capital or liquidity or both or otherwise adversely affect our business or financial results in the future. Our management is actively reviewing the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and assessing its probable impact on our business, financial condition, and result of operations. However, because many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to future rulemaking, it is difficult to precisely anticipate its overall financial impact on the Company at this time.
