ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

                                     General

Developments relating to individual aspects of the business of BOK Financial
Corporation ("BOK Financial" or "the Company") are described below. Additional
discussion of the Company's activities during the current year appears within
Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations." Information regarding BOK Financial's acquisitions is set forth
in Note 2 of the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which
appear elsewhere herein.

                             Description of Business

BOK Financial is a financial holding company whose activities are limited by the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 ("BHCA"), as amended by the Financial Services
Modernization Act or Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. BOK Financial offers full service
banking in Oklahoma, Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston, Texas, Albuquerque, New
Mexico, Northwest Arkansas, Denver, Colorado, Phoenix, Arizona, and Kansas City,
Missouri / Kansas. Principal subsidiaries are Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. ("BOk"),
Bank of Texas, N.A., Bank of Albuquerque, N.A., Bank of Arkansas, N.A., Colorado
State Bank and Trust, N.A., Bank of Arizona, N.A., and Bank of Kansas City, N.A.
(collectively, the "Banks"). Other subsidiaries include BOSC, Inc., a
broker/dealer that engages in retail and institutional securities sales and
municipal bond underwriting. Other non-bank subsidiary operations do not have a
significant effect on BOKF financial statements.

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. We have a solid position in Oklahoma and are the state's largest
financial institution as measured by deposit market share. Since 1997, we have
expanded into Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston, Texas, Albuquerque, New Mexico,
Denver, Colorado, Phoenix, Arizona, and Kansas City, Missouri / Kansas. We are
currently exploring opportunities for further growth in our regional markets.

Our primary focus is to provide a broad range of financial products and
services, including loans and deposits, cash management services, fiduciary
services, mortgage banking and brokerage and trading services to middle-market
businesses, financial institutions and consumers. Our revenue sources are
diversified. Approximately 39% of our 2008 revenue came 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 energy
financing expertise enables us to offer commodity derivatives for customers to
use in their risk management and positioning activities.

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 competitiveness, adding locations, and broadening
product offerings. Our operating philosophy embraces local decision-making for
each of our bank subsidiaries. We also consider acquisitions of distressed
financial institutions in selected markets when opportunities become available.

BOK Financial's corporate headquarters is located at Bank of Oklahoma Tower,
P.O. Box 2300, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74192.

The Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q,
Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports are available on the
Company's website at www.bokf.com as soon as reasonably practicable after the
Company electronically files such material with or furnishes it to the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                               Operating Segments

BOK Financial operates three principal lines of business: commercial banking,
consumer banking and wealth management. Our principal lines of business have
been re-defined from the previous year to better present the Company's
organization as it has grown in markets outside of Oklahoma. Commercial banking
includes lending, treasury and cash management services and customer risk
management products to small businesses, middle market and larger commercial
customers. Commercial banking also includes the TransFund electronic funds
network. Consumer banking includes retail lending and deposit services, all
mortgage banking activities and our indirect automobile lending products. Wealth
management provides fiduciary services, brokerage and trading, private bank
services and investment advisory services in all markets. Discussion of these
principal lines of business appears within the Lines of Business section of
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and within Note 18 of the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, both of which appear elsewhere herein.

                                   Competition

BOK Financial and its operating segments face competition from other banks,
thrifts, credit unions and other non-bank financial institutions, such as
investment banking firms, investment advisory firms, brokerage firms, investment
companies, government agencies, mortgage brokers and insurance companies. The
Company competes largely on the basis of customer services, interest rates on
loans and deposits, lending limits and customer convenience. Some operating
segments face competition from

 2

institutions  that are not as closely  regulated as banks, and therefore are not
limited by the same  capital  requirements  and other  restrictions.  All market
share  information  presented below is based upon share of deposits in specified
areas according to SNL DataSource as of December 31, 2008.

BOk is the largest banking subsidiary of BOK Financial and has the largest
market share in Oklahoma with 12% of the state's total deposits. In the Tulsa
and Oklahoma City areas, BOk has 24% and 11% of the market share, respectively.
BOk competes with two banks that have operations nationwide and have greater
access to funds at lower costs, higher lending limits, and greater access to
technology resources. BOk also competes with regional and locally owned banks in
both the Tulsa and Oklahoma City areas, as well as in every other community in
which we do business throughout the state.

Through other subsidiary banks, BOK Financial competes in Dallas, Fort Worth and
Houston, Texas, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Denver, Colorado, Phoenix, Arizona,
Northwest Arkansas, and Kansas City, Missouri / Kansas. Bank of Texas competes
against numerous financial institutions, including some of the largest in the
United States, and has a market share of approximately 2% in the Dallas, Fort
Worth area and 1% in the Houston area. Bank of Albuquerque has a number 4 market
share position with 10% of deposits in the Albuquerque area and competes with
two large national banks, some regional banks and several locally-owned smaller
community banks. Colorado State Bank and Trust has a market share of
approximately 2% in the Denver area. Bank of Arizona operates as a community
bank with locations in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tucson. Bank of Arkansas serves
Benton and Washington counties in Arkansas, and Bank of Kansas City serves the
Kansas City market. The Company's ability to expand into additional states
remains subject to various federal and state laws.

                                    Employees

As of December 31, 2008, BOK Financial and its subsidiaries employed 4,300
full-time equivalent employees. None of the Company's employees are represented
by collective bargaining agreements. Management considers its employee relations
to be good.

                           Supervision and Regulation

BOK Financial and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulations under
federal and state laws. These regulations are designed to protect depositors,
the Bank Insurance Fund and the banking system as a whole and not necessarily to
protect shareholders and creditors. As detailed below, these regulations may
restrict the Company's ability to diversify, to acquire other institutions and
to pay dividends on its capital stock. They also may require the Company to
provide financial support to its subsidiaries, maintain certain capital balances
and pay higher deposit insurance premiums.

Proposals to change laws and regulations governing the banking industry are
frequently introduced in Congress, in the state legislatures and before bank
regulatory agencies. It is generally probable that laws and regulations
affecting banks will increase and become more restrictive in the current
economic environment. The likelihood and timing of any specific new proposals or
legislation and the impact they might have on the Company and its subsidiaries
cannot be predicted at this time.

The following information summarizes certain laws and regulations that affect
the Company's operations. It does not discuss all provisions of these laws and
regulations and it does not summarize all laws and regulations that affect the
Company.

General

As a financial holding company, BOK Financial is regulated under the BHCA and is
subject to regular inspection, examination and supervision by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). Under the
BHCA, BOK Financial files quarterly reports and other information with the
Federal Reserve Board.

The Banks are organized as national banking associations under the National
Banking Act, and are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Federal Reserve Board and other federal
and state regulatory agencies. The OCC has primary supervisory responsibility
for national banks and must approve certain corporate or structural changes,
including changes in capitalization, payment of dividends, change of place of
business, and establishment of a branch or operating subsidiary. The OCC
performs its functions through national bank examiners who provide the OCC with
information concerning the soundness of a national bank, the quality of
management and directors, and compliance with applicable regulations. The
National Banking Act authorizes the OCC to examine every national bank as often
as necessary.

A financial holding company, and the companies under its control, are permitted
to engage in activities considered "financial in nature" as defined by the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Federal Reserve Board interpretations, and therefore
may engage in a broader range of activities than permitted for bank holding
companies and their subsidiaries. Activities that are "financial in nature"
include securities underwriting and dealing, insurance underwriting, operating a
mortgage company, credit card company or factoring company, performing certain
data processing operations, servicing loans and other extensions of credit,
providing investment and financial advice, owning and operating savings and loan
associations, and leasing personal property on a full pay-out, non-operating
basis. In order for a financial holding company to commence any new activity
permitted by the BHCA, each insured depository institution subsidiary of the
financial holding company must have received a rating of at least satisfactory
in its most recent examination under the Community Reinvestment Act. A financial
holding company is required to notify the

 3

Federal  Reserve  Board  within  thirty  days  of  engaging  in  new  activities
determined  to be  "financial  in nature."  BOK  Financial is engaged in some of
these activities and has notified the Federal Reserve Board.

The BHCA requires the Federal Reserve Board's prior approval for the direct or
indirect acquisition of more than five percent of any class of voting stock of
any non-affiliated bank. Under the Federal Bank Merger Act, the prior approval
of the OCC is required for a national bank to merge with another bank or
purchase the assets or assume the deposits of another bank. In reviewing
applications seeking approval of merger and acquisition transactions, the bank
regulatory authorities consider, among other things, the competitive effect and
public benefits of the transactions, the capital position of the combined
organization, the applicant's performance record under the Community
Reinvestment Act and fair housing laws and the effectiveness of the subject
organizations in combating money laundering activities.

A financial holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited under the BHCA
from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the provision of
any credit, property or services. Thus, a subsidiary of a financial holding
company may not extend credit, lease or sell property, furnish any services or
fix or vary the consideration for these activities on the condition that (1) the
customer obtain or provide additional credit, property or services from or to
the financial holding company or any subsidiary thereof, or (2) the customer may
not obtain some other credit, property or services from a competitor, except to
the extent reasonable conditions are imposed to insure the soundness of credit
extended.

The Banks and other non-bank subsidiaries are also subject to other federal and
state laws and regulations. For example, BOSC, Inc., the Company's broker/dealer
subsidiary that engages in retail and institutional securities sales and
municipal bond underwriting, is regulated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Federal
Reserve Board, and state securities regulators. As another example, Bank of
Arkansas is subject to certain consumer-protection laws incorporated in the
Arkansas Constitution, which, among other restrictions, limit the maximum
interest rate on general loans to five percent above the Federal Reserve
Discount Rate and limit the rate on consumer loans to the lower of five percent
above the discount rate or seventeen percent.

Capital Adequacy and Prompt Corrective Action

The Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC have issued substantially
similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to United States
banking organizations to ensure capital adequacy based upon the risk levels of
assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments. In addition, these
regulatory agencies may from time to time require that a banking organization
maintain capital above the minimum levels, whether because of its financial
condition or actual or anticipated growth. Capital adequacy guidelines and
prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators regarding components, risk weighting and
other factors.

The Federal Reserve Board risk-based guidelines define a three-tier capital
framework. Core capital (Tier 1) includes common shareholders' equity and
qualifying preferred stock, less goodwill, most intangible assets and other
adjustments. Supplementary capital (Tier 2) consists of preferred stock not
qualifying as Tier 1 capital, qualifying mandatory convertible debt securities,
limited amounts of subordinated debt, other qualifying term debt and allowances
for credit losses, subject to limitations. Market risk capital (Tier 3) includes
qualifying unsecured subordinated debt. Assets and off-balance sheet exposures
are assigned to one of four categories of risk-weights, based primarily upon
relative credit risk. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier
1 and total capital by risk-weighted assets. For a depository institution to be
considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the institution's Tier 1 and total capital ratios must be at least 6%
and 10% on a risk-adjusted basis, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, BOK
Financial's Tier 1 and total capital ratios under these guidelines were 9.40%
and 12.81%, respectively.

The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted average
total assets. Banking organizations are required to maintain a ratio of at least
5% to be classified as well capitalized. BOK Financial's leverage ratio at
December 31, 2008 was 7.89%.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the
"FDICIA"), among other things, identifies five capital categories for insured
depository institutions from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized and
requires the respective federal regulatory agencies to implement systems for
prompt corrective action for institutions failing to meet minimum capital
requirements within such categories. FDICIA imposes progressively more
restrictive covenants on operations, management and capital distributions,
depending upon the category in which an institution is classified.

The various regulatory agencies have adopted substantially similar regulations
that define the five capital categories identified by FDICIA, using the total
risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios as the
relevant capital measures. Such regulations establish various degrees of
corrective action to be taken when an institution is considered
undercapitalized. Under these guidelines, each of the Banks was considered well
capitalized as of December 31, 2008.

The federal regulatory authorities' risk-based capital guidelines are based upon
the 1988 capital accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the
"BIS"). The BIS is a committee of central banks and bank supervisors/regulators
from the major industrialized countries that develops broad policy guidelines
for use by each country's supervisors in determining the supervisory policies
they apply. In 2004, the BIS published a new capital accord to replace its 1988
capital accord, with an update

 4

in November  2005 ("Basel  II").  Basel II provides two  approaches  for setting
capital standards for credit risk -- an internal ratings-based approach tailored
to  individual  institutions'  circumstances  (which for many  asset  classes is
itself broken into a "foundation"  approach and an "advanced or A-IRB" approach,
the  availability  of  which  is  subject  to  additional  restrictions)  and  a
standardized  approach that bases risk weightings on external credit assessments
to  a  much  greater  extent  than  permitted  in  existing  risk-based  capital
guidelines.  Basel II also would set capital  requirements  for operational risk
and refine the existing capital requirements for market risk exposures.

The U.S. banking and thrift agencies are developing proposed revisions to their
existing capital adequacy regulations and standards based on Basel II. In
September 2006, the agencies issued a notice of proposed rulemaking setting
forth a definitive proposal for implementing Basel II in the United States that
would apply only to internationally active banking organizations -- defined as
those with consolidated total assets of $250 billion or more or consolidated
on-balance sheet foreign exposures of $10 billion or more -- but that other U.S.
banking organizations could elect but would not be required to apply.
Furthermore, the U.S. agencies are proposing only to implement the most advanced
version of Basel II, the A-IRB option. In December 2006, the agencies issued a
notice of proposed rulemaking describing proposed amendments to their existing
risk-based capital guidelines to make them more risk-sensitive, generally
following aspects of the standardized approach of Basel II. These latter
proposed amendments, often referred to as "Basel I-A", would apply to banking
organizations that are not internationally active banking organizations subject
to the A-IRB approach for internationally active banking organizations and do
not "opt in" to that approach. The agencies previously had issued advance
notices of proposed rulemaking on both proposals (in August 2003 regarding the
A-IRB approach of Basel II for internationally active banking organizations and
in October 2005 regarding Basel I-A).

BOK Financial is not an internationally active banking organization and has not
made a determination as to whether or when it would opt to apply the A-IRB
provisions applicable to internationally active U.S. banking organizations once
they become effective. Recent U.S. bank regulatory proposals indicate that the
U.S. banking system will permit adoption of a "standardized" approach for Basel
II in lieu of the 1-A proposal for non-core Basel II institutions. BOK Financial
does not anticipate any 2009 developments on the regulatory front regarding
regulatory capital models for non-opt in banks. We do believe that previously
authorized approaches toward regulatory capital that permitted reduced
regulatory capital in mandatory and opt-in banks will be modified.

Further discussion of regulatory capital, including regulatory capital amounts
and ratios, is set forth under the heading "Liquidity and Capital" within
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and in Note 16 of the Company's Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, both of which appear elsewhere herein.

Deposit Insurance

Substantially all of the deposits held by the Banks are insured up to applicable
limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the FDIC and are subject to
deposit insurance assessments to maintain the DIF. The FDIC utilizes a
risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk
matrix that takes into account a bank's capital level and supervisory rating
("CAMELS rating"). As of January 1, 2007, the previous nine risk categories
utilized in the risk matrix were condensed into four risk categories, which
continue to be distinguished by capital levels and supervisory ratings. For
large Risk Category 1 institutions (generally those with assets in excess of $10
billion) that have long-term debt issuer ratings, including Bank of Oklahoma,
assessment rates are determined from weighted-average CAMELS component ratings
and long-term debt issuer ratings. The minimum annualized assessment rate for
large institutions is 12 basis points per $100 of deposits and the maximum
annualized assessment rate for large institutions is 50 basis points per $100 of
deposits. Quarterly assessment rates for large institutions in Risk Category 1
may vary within this range depending upon changes in CAMELS component ratings
and long-term debt issuer ratings. Deposit insurance rates are expected to
increase in 2009.

In 2008, the FDIC extended deposit insurance coverage through its Temporary
Liquidity Guaranty Program ("TGLP"). TGLP consists of two basic components, a
guarantee of certain newly issued unsecured debt of eligible financial
institutions and full guarantee of certain deposit accounts as defined by the
program. Eligible debt issued before June 30, 2009 will be fully protected
through the earlier of the maturity of the debt or June 30, 2012. Eligible
deposits will be fully protected until December 31, 2009. The Company's
subsidiary banks have elected to participate in both components of the TGLP. The
Company has not issued any debt under this guaranty program.

In addition, the Banks are assessed a charge based on deposit balances by the
Financing Corporation ("FICO"). The FICO is a mixed-ownership government
corporation established by the Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987 whose
sole purpose was to function as a financing vehicle for the now defunct Federal
Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation.

Dividends

The primary source of liquidity for BOK Financial is dividends from the Banks,
which are limited by various banking regulations to net profits, as defined, for
the year plus retained profits for the preceding two years and further
restricted by minimum capital requirements. Based on the most restrictive
limitations, the Banks had excess regulatory capital and could declare up to
$171 million of dividends without regulatory approval as of December 31, 2008.
BOK Financial management has developed and the Board of Directors has approved
an internal capital policy that is more restrictive than the regulatory
standards. Under this policy, the Banks could declare dividends of up to $119
million as of December 31, 2008. These amounts are not necessarily indicative of
amounts that may be available to be paid in future periods.

Source of Strength Doctrine

According to Federal Reserve Board policy, bank holding companies are expected
to act as a source of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to commit
resources to support each such subsidiary. This support may be required at times
when a bank holding company may not be able to provide such support. Similarly,
under the cross-guarantee provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, in
the event of a loss suffered by the FDIC as a result of default of a banking
subsidiary or related to FDIC assistance provided to a subsidiary in danger of
default, the other Banks may be assessed for the FDIC's loss, subject to certain
exceptions.

                   Governmental Policies and Economic Factors

The operations of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries are affected by legislative
changes and by the policies of various regulatory authorities and, in
particular, the credit policies of the Federal Reserve Board. An important
function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national supply of bank
credit to moderate recessions and curb inflation. Among the instruments of
monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve Board to implement its objectives
are: open-market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the
discount rate and federal funds rate on bank borrowings, and changes in reserve
requirements on bank deposits. The effect of future changes in such policies on
the business and earnings of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries is uncertain.

In response to a significant ongoing recession in business activity which began
in 2007, the U.S. government enacted various programs and continues to enact
programs to stimulate the economy. These programs include the Trouble Assets
Relief Program ("TARP"), which provided capital to eligible financial
institutions and other sectors of the domestic economy, and the TLGP, which
expanded insurance coverage to a larger amount of deposit account balances and
other qualifying debt issued by eligible financial institutions. In addition,
the government recently enacted economic stimulus legislation, which increases
government spending and reduces certain taxes. The immediate and long-term
effects of these programs on the economy in general and on BOK Financial
Corporation in particular are uncertain.

The Company elected not to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program. We
believe that current capital sources are sufficient to support organic growth,
acquisitions within our current market areas, cash dividends on our common stock
and periodic stock repurchases.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the "Act") addresses many aspects of financial
reporting, corporate governance and public company disclosure. Among other
things, the Act establishes a comprehensive framework for the oversight of
public company auditing and for strengthening the independence of auditors and
audit committees. Under the Act, audit committees are responsible for the
appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the auditors. The
non-audit services that can be provided to a company by its auditor are limited.
Audit committee members are subject to specific rules addressing their
independence. The Act also requires enhanced and accelerated financial
disclosures, and it establishes various responsibility measures, such as
requiring the chief executive officer and chief financial officer to certify to
the quality of the company's financial reporting. The Act imposes restrictions
on and accelerated reporting requirements for certain insider trading
activities. It imposes a variety of penalties for fraud and other violations and
creates a federal felony for securities fraud. Various sections of the Act are
applicable to BOK Financial.

                               Foreign Operations

BOK Financial does not engage in operations in foreign countries, nor does it
lend to foreign governments.

ITEM 1A.   RISK FACTORS

Since 2007, the United States economy has been in recession. Business activity
across a wide range of industries and geographic regions has decreased and
unemployment has increased significantly. The financial services industry and
capital markets have been adversely affected by significant declines in asset
values, rising delinquencies and defaults, and restricted liquidity. Numerous
financial institutions have either failed or required a significant amount of
government assistance due to credit losses and liquidity shortages. There is no
assurance that these conditions will improve in the near term. Continued
recession in the economy could adversely affect our credit quality, financial
condition and results of operations.

Adverse factors could impact BOK Financial's ability to implement its operating
strategy.

Although BOK Financial has developed an operating strategy which it expects to
result in continuing improved financial performance, BOK Financial cannot assure
that it will be successful in fulfilling this strategy or that this operating
strategy will be successful. Achieving success is dependent upon a number of
factors, many of which are beyond BOK Financial's direct control. Factors that
may adversely affect BOK Financial's ability to implement its operating strategy
include:

o    deterioration of BOK Financial's asset quality;

o    inability to control BOK Financial's noninterest expenses;

o    inability to increase noninterest income;

o    deterioration in general economic conditions, especially in BOK Financial's
     core markets;

o    inability to access capital;

o    decreases in net interest margins;

o    increases in competition;

o    adverse regulatory developments.

Adverse regional economic developments could negatively affect BOK Financial's
business.

A substantial majority of BOK Financial loans are generated in Oklahoma and
other markets in the southwest region. As a result, poor economic conditions in
Oklahoma or other markets in the southwest region may cause BOK Financial to
incur losses associated with higher default rates and decreased collateral
values in BOK Financial's loan portfolio. A regional economic downturn could
also adversely affect revenue from brokerage and trading activities, mortgage
loan originations and other sources of fee-based revenue.

Adverse economic factors affecting particular industries could have a negative
effect on BOK Financial customers and their ability to make payments to BOK
Financial.

Certain industry-specific economic factors also affect BOK Financial. For
example, a portion of BOK Financial's total loan portfolio is comprised of loans
to borrowers in the energy industry, which is historically a cyclical industry.
Low commodity prices may adversely affect that industry and, consequently, may
affect BOK Financial's business negatively. The effect of volatility in
commodity prices on our customer derivatives portfolio could adversely affect
our liquidity and regulatory capital. In addition, BOK Financial's loan
portfolio includes commercial real estate loans. A downturn in the real estate
industry in general or in certain segments of the commercial real estate
industry in Oklahoma and the southwest region could also have an adverse effect
on BOK Financial's operations.

Fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect BOK Financial's business.

BOK Financial's business is highly sensitive to:

o    the monetary policies  implemented by the Federal Reserve Board,  including
     the discount rate on bank  borrowings and changes in reserve  requirements,
     which affect BOK  Financial's  ability to make loans and the interest rates
     we may charge;

o    changes  in  prevailing  interest  rates,  due  to  the  dependency  of BOK
     Financial's banks on interest income;

o    open market operations in U.S. Government securities.

Significant increase in market interest rates, or the perception that an
increase may occur, could adversely affect both BOK Financial's ability to
originate new loans and BOK Financial's ability to grow. Conversely, a decrease
in interest rates could result

 7

in  acceleration  in the  payment  of  loans,  including  loans  underlying  BOK
Financial's  holdings  of  mortgage-backed  securities  and  termination  of BOK
Financial's  mortgage servicing rights. In addition,  changes in market interest
rates,  changes in the  relationships  between  short-term and long-term  market
interest rates or changes in the relationships  between different  interest rate
indices,  could affect the interest  rates  charged on  interest-earning  assets
differently than the interest rates paid on interest-bearing  liabilities.  This
difference  could result in an increase in interest expense relative to interest
income.  An increase in market  interest rates also could  adversely  affect the
ability of BOK Financial's  floating-rate borrowers to meet their higher payment
obligations.  If this  occurred,  it could cause an  increase  in  nonperforming
assets  and net  charge-offs,  which  could  adversely  affect  BOK  Financial's
business.

BOK Financial's substantial holdings of mortgage-backed securities and mortgage
servicing rights could adversely affect BOK Financial's business.

BOK Financial has invested a substantial amount of its holdings in
mortgage-backed securities, which are investment interests in pools of
mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities are highly sensitive to changes in
interest rates. BOK Financial mitigates this risk somewhat by investing
principally in shorter duration mortgage products, which are less sensitive to
changes in interest rates. A significant decrease in interest rates could lead
mortgage holders to refinance the mortgages constituting the pool backing the
securities, subjecting BOK Financial to a risk of prepayment and decreased
return on investment due to subsequent reinvestment at lower interest rates.
Conversely, a significant increase in interest rates could cause mortgage
holders to extend the term over which they repay their loans, which delays the
Company's opportunity to reinvest funds at higher rates.

Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to credit risk from delinquency or
default of the underlying loans. BOK Financial mitigates this risk somewhat by
investing in securities issued by U.S. government agencies. Principal and
interest payments on the loans underlying these securities are guaranteed by
these agencies. Credit risk on mortgage-backed securities originated by private
issuers is mitigated somewhat by investing in senior tranches with additional
collateral support.

Legislation is being considered that would potentially override the credit
enhancement of some privately issued mortgage-backed securities. The considered
legislation may allow terms of a mortgage loan to be modified in the case of
bankruptcy. In some cases, the reduction of principal owed on the loan would be
applied pro rata to tranches of the mortgage-backed security instead of
following the "water fall" structure of the tranches. The considered
legislation, if enacted, could have a material adverse effect on the fair value
of certain of our mortgage-backed securities.

In addition, as part of BOK Financial's mortgage banking business, BOK Financial
has substantial holdings of mortgage servicing rights. The value of these rights
is also very sensitive to changes in interest rates. Falling interest rates tend
to increase loan prepayments, which may lead to cancellation of the related
servicing rights. BOK Financial's investments and dealings in mortgage-related
products increase the risk that falling interest rates could adversely affect
BOK Financial's business. BOK Financial attempts to manage this risk by
maintaining an active hedging program for its mortgage servicing rights. BOK
Financial's hedging program has only been partially successful in recent years.
The value of mortgage servicing rights may also decrease due to rising
delinquency or default of the loans serviced. This risk is mitigated somewhat by
adherence to underwriting standards on loans originated for sale.

Market disruptions could impact BOK Financial's funding sources.

BOK Financial's subsidiary banks rely on other financial institutions and the
Federal Home Loan Banks of Topeka and Dallas as a significant source of funds.
Our ability to fund loans, manage our interest rate risk and meet other
obligations depends on funds borrowed from these sources. The inability to
borrow funds at market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on
our operations.

Substantial competition could adversely affect BOK Financial.

Banking is a competitive business. BOK Financial competes actively for loan,
deposit and other financial services business in Oklahoma, as well as in BOK
Financial's other markets. BOK Financial's competitors include a large number of
small and large local and national banks, savings and loan associations, credit
unions, trust companies, broker-dealers and underwriters, as well as many
financial and nonfinancial firms that offer services similar to BOK Financial's.
Large national financial institutions have entered the Oklahoma market. These
institutions have substantial capital, technology and marketing resources. Such
large financial institutions may have greater access to capital at a lower cost
than BOK Financial does, which may adversely affect BOK Financial's ability to
compete effectively.

BOK Financial has expanded into markets outside of Oklahoma, where it competes
with a large number of financial institutions that have an established customer
base and greater market share than BOK Financial. BOK Financial may not be able
to continue to compete successfully in these markets outside of Oklahoma. With
respect to some of its services, BOK Financial competes with non-bank companies
that are not subject to regulation. The absence of regulatory requirements may
give non-banks a competitive advantage.

 8

Banking regulations could adversely affect BOK Financial.

BOK Financial and its subsidiaries are extensively regulated under both federal
and state law. In particular, BOK Financial is subject to the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 and the National Bank Act. These regulations are primarily
for the benefit and protection of BOK Financial's customers and not for the
benefit of BOK Financial's investors. In the past, BOK Financial's business has
been materially affected by these regulations. For example, regulations limit
BOK Financial's business to banking and related businesses, and they limit the
location of BOK Financial's branches and offices, as well as the amount of
deposits that it can hold in a particular state. These regulations may limit BOK
Financial's ability to grow and expand into new markets and businesses.

Additionally, under the Community Reinvestment Act, BOK Financial is required to
provide services in traditionally underserved areas. BOK Financial's ability to
make acquisitions and engage in new business may be limited by these
requirements.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 and the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, and various regulations of regulatory authorities,
require us to maintain specified capital ratios. Any failure to maintain
required capital ratios would limit the growth potential of BOK Financial's
business.

Under a long-standing policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial
strength for its subsidiary banks. As a result of that policy, BOK Financial may
be required to commit financial and other resources to its subsidiary banks in
circumstances where we might not otherwise do so.

The trend toward extensive regulation is likely to continue in the future. Laws,
regulations or policies currently affecting us and BOK Financial's subsidiaries
may change at any time. Regulatory authorities may also change their
interpretation of these statutes and regulations. Therefore, BOK Financial's
business may be adversely affected by any future changes in laws, regulations,
policies or interpretations.

Statutory restrictions on subsidiary dividends and other distributions and debts
of BOK Financial's subsidiaries could limit amounts BOK Financial's subsidiaries
may pay to BOK Financial.

BOK Financial is a financial holding company, and a substantial portion of BOK
Financial's cash flow typically comes from dividends that BOK Financial's bank
and nonbank subsidiaries pay to BOK Financial. Various statutory provisions
restrict the amount of dividends BOK Financial's subsidiaries can pay to BOK
Financial without regulatory approval. Management also developed, and the BOK
Financial board of directors approved, an internal capital policy that is more
restrictive than the regulatory capital standards. In addition, if any of BOK
Financial's subsidiaries liquidates, that subsidiary's creditors will be
entitled to receive distributions from the assets of that subsidiary to satisfy
their claims against it before BOK Financial, as a holder of an equity interest
in the subsidiary, will be entitled to receive any of the assets of the
subsidiary. If, however, BOK Financial is a creditor of the subsidiary with
recognized claims against it, BOK Financial will be in the same position as
other creditors.

Although publicly traded, BOK Financial's common stock has substantially less
liquidity than the average trading market for a stock quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market System.

A relatively small fraction of BOK Financial's outstanding common stock is
actively traded. The risks of low liquidity include increased volatility of the
price of BOK Financial's common stock. Low liquidity may also limit holders of
BOK Financial's common stock in their ability to sell or transfer BOK
Financial's shares at the price, time and quantity desired.

BOK Financial's principal shareholder controls a majority of BOK Financial's
common stock.

Mr. George B. Kaiser owns a majority of the outstanding shares of BOK
Financial's common stock. Mr. Kaiser is able to elect all of BOK Financial's
directors and effectively control the vote on all matters submitted to a vote of
BOK Financial's common shareholders. Mr. Kaiser's ability to prevent an
unsolicited bid for BOK Financial or any other change in control could have an
adverse effect on the market price for BOK Financial's common stock. A
substantial majority of BOK Financial's directors are not officers or employees
of BOK Financial or any of its affiliates. However, because of Mr. Kaiser's
control over the election of BOK Financial's directors, he could change the
composition of BOK Financial's Board of Directors so that it would not have a
majority of outside directors.

Possible future sales of shares by BOK Financial's principal shareholder could
adversely affect the market price of BOK Financial's common stock.

Mr. Kaiser has the right to sell shares of BOK Financial's common stock in
compliance with the federal securities laws at any time, or from time to time.
The federal securities laws will be the only restrictions on Mr. Kaiser's
ability to sell. Because of his current control of BOK Financial, Mr. Kaiser
could sell large amounts of his shares of BOK Financial's common stock by
causing BOK Financial to file a registration statement that would allow him to
sell shares more easily. In addition, Mr. Kaiser could sell his shares of BOK
Financial's common stock without registration under Rule 144 of the Securities
Act. Although BOK Financial can make no predictions as to the effect, if any,
that such sales would have on the market price of BOK Financial's

 9

common stock,  sales of substantial  amounts of BOK Financial's common stock, or
the  perception  that such sales could  occur,  could  adversely  affect  market
prices.  If Mr. Kaiser sells or transfers his shares of BOK  Financial's  common
stock  as a block,  another  person  or  entity  could  become  BOK  Financial's
controlling shareholder.

(1)  The Company had a stock  repurchase  plan that was initially  authorized by
     the  Company's  board of  directors on February 24, 1998 and amended on May
     25, 1999.  Under the terms of that plan, the Company could repurchase up to
     800,000  shares of its common stock.  As of March 31, 2005, the Company had
     repurchased  638,642  shares  under  that  plan.  On April  26,  2005,  the
     Company's board of directors  terminated this authorization and replaced it
     with a new stock  repurchase plan  authorizing the Company to repurchase up
     to two million  shares of the Company's  common  stock.  As of December 31,
     2008, the Company had repurchased 784,073 shares under the new plan.

     exercise  price  and  taxes  in  connection   with  employee  stock  option
     exercises.

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, Forth Worth and Houston, Texas, Albuquerque, New Mexico,
Denver, Colorado, Phoenix, Arizona and Kansas City, Missouri / Kansas. The
Company was incorporated in 1990 in Oklahoma and is headquartered 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 of
1999. Principal banking subsidiaries are Bank of Oklahoma, N.A., Bank of
Albuquerque, N.A., Bank of Arkansas, N.A., Bank of Texas, N.A., Colorado State
Bank and Trust, N.A., Bank of Arizona, N.A. and Bank of Kansas City, N.A. 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 financial institution as measured by deposit market share. At
December 31, 2008, 46% of our outstanding loans and 60% of our deposits are
attributed to the Oklahoma market. Since 1997, we have expanded into Dallas,
Fort Worth and Houston, Texas, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Denver, Colorado,
Phoenix, Arizona and Kansas City, Missouri / Kansas. At December 31, 2008, 29%
of our outstanding loans and 23% of our deposits are attributed to Texas. None
of our other regional markets provide more than 10% of our outstanding loans or
deposits. 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 competitiveness, adding locations, and
broadening product offerings. Our operating philosophy embraces local
decision-making in each of our geographic markets while adhering to common
Company standards. We also consider acquisitions of distressed financial
institutions in selected markets when opportunities become available.

Our primary focus is to provide a comprehensive range of nationally competitive
financial products and services in a personalized and responsive manner. Our
products and services include loans and deposits, cash management services,
fiduciary services, mortgage banking, and brokerage and trading services to
middle-market businesses, financial institutions, and consumers. 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 energy financing
expertise enables us to offer commodity derivatives for customers to use in
their risk management and positioning activities. Our revenue sources are
diverse. Historically, fees and commissions revenue provide 40% - 45% of our
total revenue. Approximately 39% of our revenue came from commissions and fees
in 2008 due to credit losses incurred on two positions in our customer hedging
program.

BOK Financial operates three principal lines of business: commercial banking,
consumer banking and wealth management. Our principal lines of business have
been re-defined from the previous year to better present the Company's
organization as it has grown in markets outside of Oklahoma. Commercial banking
includes lending, treasury and cash management services and customer risk
management products to small businesses, middle market and larger commercial
customers. Commercial banking also includes the TransFund electronic funds
network. Consumer banking includes retail lending and deposit services, all
mortgage banking activities and our indirect automobile lending products. Wealth
management provides fiduciary services, brokerage and trading, private bank
services and investment advisory services in all markets.

The financial services industry experienced significant disruptions during 2008.
Numerous financial institutions either failed or required a significant amount
of government assistance due to credit losses and liquidity shortages. Loan
losses, which initially were limited to residential construction loans in
certain markets, spread to other commercial real estate loans and commercial
loans. Credit spreads on certain financial instruments, such as some
mortgage-backed securities, widened extremely due to uncertainty of the
underlying cash flows. This uncertainty and lack of trading volumes
significantly decreased the fair value of these instruments. Energy prices were
extremely volatile during the year. The price of oil exceeded $140 per barrel in
mid-year then fell to under $40 per barrel by year end. These market events
reduced our net income for 2008, but did not significantly impair our
operations.

Performance Summary

BOK Financial's net income for 2008 totaled $153 million or $2.27 per diluted
share compared with $218 million or $3.22 per diluted share in 2007.

Highlights of 2008 included:

o    Net  interest  revenue  increased  $102  million or 19% over 2007.  Average
     earning  assets were up $2.0 billion or 12%. Net interest  margin was 3.45%
     for 2008, up 17 basis points over 2007.

 14

o    Combined  reserves  for  credit  losses  totaled  $248  million or 1.93% of
     outstanding  loans at December 31,  2008,  up from $148 million or 1.24% of
     outstanding loans at December 31, 2007. Provision for credit losses and net
     charge-offs  were $203 million and $102 million,  respectively for 2008 and
     $35 million and $21 million, respectively, for 2007.

o    Non-performing  assets totaled $342 million or 2.65% of  outstanding  loans
     and repossessed  assets at December 31, 2008, up from $104 million or 0.87%
     of outstanding loans and repossessed assets at December 31, 2007.

o    Fees and commissions revenue totaled $414 million for 2008 and $406 million
     for 2007. Net credit losses on derivative contracts related to two bankrupt
     counterparties reduced fees and commissions revenue by $54 million in 2008.

o    The fair value of mortgage  servicing rights, net of economic hedging gains
     or losses decreased $24 million in 2008 and $3 million in 2007. Anticipated
     prepayment  speeds  increased  significantly  during the fourth  quarter in
     response to government programs to lower mortgage interest rates.

o    The Company evaluated and elected not to participate in the U.S. Treasury's
     TARP Capital  Purchase  Program.  Tier 1 and tangible  common equity ratios
     were  9.40% and 6.64%,  respectively,  at  December  31,  2008.  Tier 1 and
     tangible  common  equity  ratios  were  9.38% and 7.72%,  respectively,  at
     December 31, 2007.  The  decrease in tangible  common  equity ratio was due
     largely  to a $182  million  after-tax  increase  in  unrealized  losses on
     available for sale securities.

o    The  Company  elected  to  participate  in the FDIC's  Temporary  Liquidity
     Guarantee Program. This Program provides full deposit insurance coverage of
     non-interest  bearing,  transaction deposit accounts and guarantees certain
     newly  issued  senior  unsecured  debt.  The  Company  has not  issued  any
     guaranteed debt under this program.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $35 million or $0.53 per
diluted share compared with $51 million or $0.76 per diluted share for the
fourth quarter of 2007.

Highlights of the fourth quarter of 2008 included:

     respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2007.

o    The fair value of mortgage  servicing rights, net of economic hedging gains
     or losses decreased $11 million in 2008 and $2 million in 2007.

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. Actual results could differ significantly from these
estimates. Application of these critical accounting policies and estimates has
been discussed with the appropriate committees of the Board of Directors.
Additional accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

New accounting standards first adopted in 2008 included Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 159, "Fair Value Option" ("FAS 159"). FAS 159 provides
an option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value. Certain certificates of deposit that were either currently designated as
hedged or had previously been designated as hedged, but no longer met the
correlation requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"), were
designated as being reported at fair value. The initial adoption of FAS 159 did
not significantly affect the Company's financial statements. In addition,
certain certificates of deposit issued subsequent to the adoption of FAS 159
have been designated as reported at fair value. This determination is made when
the certificates of deposit are issued based on the Company's intent to swap the
interest rate on the certificates from a fixed rate to a LIBOR-based variable
rate. The effect of FAS 159 on our 2008 operations is presented in Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 quarterly 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
commitments, 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.

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

Specific reserves for impairment are determined through evaluation of estimated
future cash flows, collateral values and historical statistics in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for the Impairment of a Loan", regulatory accounting standards and
other authoritative literature. Commercial and commercial real estate loans and
commitments in excess of $1 million are reviewed for impairment. Significant
loans and commitments that exhibit weaknesses or deteriorating trends are
individually reviewed quarterly.

General reserves for commercial and commercial real estate loan losses and
related commitments not evaluated individually for impairment 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. A minimum
reserve level is established for each loan grade based on long-term loss
history. This model assigns a general 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 residential mortgage loans is based on an
eight-quarter average percent of loss. 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, commercial
real estate and homebuilders and agriculture, concentrations in large credits
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.

A separate reserve for off-balance sheet credit risk is maintained. The
provision for credit losses includes the combined 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 after funds are advanced against
outstanding commitments and after the exhaustion of collection efforts.

Valuation of Mortgage Servicing Rights

We have a significant investment in mortgage servicing rights. These rights are
primarily retained from sales of loans we have originated or occasionally
purchased from other lenders. Originated mortgage servicing rights are initially
recognized at fair value. Fair value is based on market quotes for similar
servicing rights, which is a Level 2 input as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). Subsequent
changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as they occur.

There is no active market for trading in mortgage servicing rights after
origination. 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. Assumptions used to value our
mortgage servicing rights are considered Level 3 inputs as defined by FAS 157
and represent our best estimate of assumptions that market participants would
use to value this asset. 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. We adjusted
the prepayment projections determined by this model to better correlate with
actual performance of our servicing portfolio. The discount rate is based on
benchmark rates for mortgage loans plus a market spread expected by investors in
servicing rights. Significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of
our mortgage servicing rights are presented in Note 8 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. At least annually, we request estimates of fair value from
outside sources to corroborate the results of the valuation model.

The assumptions used in this model are primarily based on mortgage interest
rates. Evaluation of the effect of a change in one assumption without
considering the effect of that change on other assumptions is not meaningful.
Considering all related assumptions, a 50 basis point increase in mortgage
interest rates is expected to increase the fair value of our servicing rights by

 16

$10 million. A 50 basis point decrease in mortgage interest rates is expected to
decrease the fair value of our servicing rights by $11 million.

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 as of October 1st or more frequently 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 seven-year period for
each unit and a terminal value is computed. 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. Assumptions used to value our business units
are based on growth rates, volatility, discount rate and market risk premium
inherent in our current stock price. These assumptions are considered Level 3
inputs as defined by FAS 157 and represent our best estimate of assumptions that
market participants would use to determine fair value of the respective business
units. The most critical assumptions in our evaluation were a 7.00% expected
long-term growth rate, a 0.66% volatility factor for BOK Financial common stock,
a 9.36% discount rate and a 11.04% market risk premium.

Approximately $240 million or 72% of total goodwill was attributed to the Texas
market and $56 million or 17% of total goodwill was attributed to the Colorado
market. We also have $17 million of goodwill in the Arizona market and $15
million of goodwill in the New Mexico market. Because of the large concentration
of goodwill in the Texas and Colorado markets, 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.

The effect of a 10% negative change in assumptions used to evaluate goodwill
impairment using the discounted future earnings method was simulated. No
impairment was indicated by this simulation.

The current market value of BOK Financial common stock, a primary  assumption in
our goodwill  impairment  analysis,  is approximately 32% below the market value
used in our most recent  annual  evaluation.  The decline in market value is due
largely to factors  affecting the overall  economy and the regional banks sector
of the market. It is not due to operating  losses,  losses of major customers or
market share, or other factors specific to BOK Financial.  Therefore,  we do not
believe the decline in market value of our stock to be an event that  requires a
re-evaluation of our goodwill  impairment.  Goodwill impairment may be indicated
at our next annual  evaluation  date if the market value of our stock remains at
or near current prices, or sooner if we incur significant operating losses or if
other factors indicate a significant decline in the value of our business.

Intangible assets with finite lives, such as core deposit intangible assets, are
amortized using accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. Core
deposit intangible assets generally have a weighted average life of five years
based on the expected lives of the acquired deposit accounts. Such assets are
reviewed for impairment whenever events indicate that the remaining carrying
amount may not be recoverable.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

We use interest rate derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risk. We
also offer interest rate, commodity, and foreign exchange derivative contracts
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. Information
used by these third-party dealers or independent pricing services to determine
fair values are considered Level 2, observable market inputs as defined by FAS
157. Interest rate, commodity and foreign exchange contracts used in our
customer hedging programs are based on valuations generated internally by
third-party provided pricing models. These models use Level 2, observable market
inputs to estimate fair values. Changes in assumptions used in these pricing
models could significantly affect the reported fair values of derivative assets
and liabilities, though the net effect of these changes should not significantly
affect earnings.

Credit risk is considered in determining the fair value of derivative
instruments. Deterioration in the credit rating of customers or dealers reduces
the fair value of asset contracts. The reduction in fair value is recognized in
earnings during the current period. Deterioration in our credit rating below
investment grade would affect the fair value of our derivative liabilities. In
the event of a credit down-grade, the fair value of our derivative liabilities
would decrease. The reduction in fair value would be recognized in earnings in
the current period.

Valuation of Securities

The fair value of our securities portfolio is primarily based on a third-party
pricing service. We review the methodologies used by the pricing service and
concluded them to be based on Level 2 observable market inputs. Management
evaluates the fair

 17

values provided by the pricing service against other sources, including brokered
quotes,  sales or  purchases of similar  securities,  and  discounted  cash flow
analysis.

Other-than-Temporary Impairment

We perform a quarterly evaluation of unrealized losses on investment and
available for sale securities to determine whether the losses are temporary or
other-than-temporary as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS
115"). This evaluation assesses the probability of full recovery of the carrying
value of the security and management's ability and intent to hold the security
until fair value recovers. Temporary impairment, net of deferred income taxes,
is recognized as charges against shareholders' equity as part of other
comprehensive income. Other-than-temporary impairment is recognized through a
charge against earnings.

Impairment of debt securities rated investment grade is generally considered to
be temporary. Impairment of debt securities rated below investment grade by any
one of the three nationally-recognized ratings agencies is evaluated further.
Securities rated below investment grade currently consist of mortgage-backed
securities privately issued by publicly owned financial institutions. Other than
temporary impairment is required to be recognized when it is probable that there
has been an adverse change in the amount or timing of estimated cash flows of
these securities as provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Staff Position EITF Issue No. 99-20-1, "Amendments to the Impairment and
Interest Income Measurement Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20" ("FSP EITF
99-20-1"). We assess the estimated cash flows by computing a loan to value ratio
for each security rated below investment grade based on the original loan to
value ratio inherent in the security, adjusted for changes in housing prices,
prepayment speeds, default rates and credit enhancement. Consideration is given
to other-than-temporary impairment if the adjusted loan to value ratio of a
specific security exceeds 85%.

Equity securities include variable rate, preferred stocks issued by major
commercial and investment banks. Impairment evaluation is based on current and
anticipated market conditions, the financial condition and near term prospects
of each of the issuers and the length of time the security has been impaired. We
assess the probability that spreads over LIBOR on these securities will narrow
and fair values will increase over a 24-month to 36-month period beginning on
the most recent date that fair value equaled our carrying value, June 30, 2008,
and concluded that the impairment was temporary at December 31, 2008.

Income Taxes

Determination of income tax expense and related assets and liabilities is
complex and requires estimates and judgments when applying tax laws, rules,
regulations and interpretations. It also requires judgments as to future
earnings and the timing of future events. Accrued income taxes represent an
estimate of net amounts due to or from taxing jurisdictions based upon these
estimates, interpretations and judgments.

Quarterly, management evaluates the Company's effective tax rate based upon its
current estimate of net income, tax credits and statutory tax rates expected for
the full year. Changes in income tax expense due to changes in the effective tax
rate are recognized on a cumulative basis. Annually, we file tax returns with
each jurisdiction where we conduct business and settle our return liabilities.
We may also provide for estimated liabilities associated with uncertain filing
positions.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the differences
between the values of assets and liabilities as recognized in the financial
statements and their related tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A
valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some
portion of the entire deferred tax asset may not be realized based on taxes
previously paid in net loss carry-back periods and other factors.

We recognize the benefit of uncertain income tax positions when based upon all
relevant evidence it is more-likely-than-not that our position would prevail
upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation, based
upon the technical merits of the position. A reserve for the uncertain portion
of the tax benefit, including estimated interest and penalties, is part of our
current accrued income tax liability. Estimated penalties and interest are
recognized in income tax expense. This reserve for uncertain tax positions may
reduce income tax expense in future periods if the uncertainty is favorably
resolved, generally upon completion of an examination by the taxing authorities,
expiration of a statute of limitations or changes in facts and circumstances.

Pensions

The Company offers a defined-benefit, cash-balance pension plan to all employees
who satisfied certain age and length of service requirements. Pension plan
benefits were curtailed as of April 1, 2006. No participants may be added to the
plan and no additional service benefits will be accrued. Interest continues to
accrue on employees' account balances at 5.25%. Accounting for this plan
requires management to make assumptions regarding the expected long-term rate of
return on plan assets and the discount rate. Changes in these assumptions affect
pension liability and pension expense. Management, in consultation with
independent actuaries, bases its assumptions on currently available information.

 18

All plan assets are invested in the Cavanal Hill Balanced Fund. The expected
long-term return on plan assets is based on this fund's life-to-date
performance, adjusted for any known or expected changes in the fund's
compositions or objectives. The expected return on plan assets was 7.00% for
2008 and 2007, and reduced to 5.25% for 2009.

The discount rate, which is used to determine the present value of our
obligation to provide future benefits to plan participants and the related
interest cost, is based on a spot-rate yield curve of high-quality fixed income
securities such as AA rated industrial and utility bonds. A weighted average
discount rate is determined by matching expected future cash outflows from the
plan to interest rates at various spots along the yield curve. This method of
determining the discount rate is expected to better represent the cost of future
cash flows as the static participant pool decreases over time. The discount rate
was 6.50% as December 31, 2008 and 6.00% as of December 31, 2007. A 25 basis
point decrease in the discount rate increases the pension liability by
approximately $800 thousand or 2% and has no significant effect on pension
expense because of the curtailment of benefits.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation consists of stock options and non-vested shares awarded
officers and employees of the Company. Awards may be granted on a discretionary
basis as described in the employee stock option plan or as required by
employment agreements and incentive compensation plans with certain executive
officers. Accounting for stock-based compensation requires management to make
assumptions regarding the valuation of financial instruments for which there are
no readily available market values, achievement of specified performance
conditions and expected forfeiture rates.

The majority of our stock options have graded vesting. One-seventh of the
options awarded vest annually starting one year after the grant date. Options
expire three years after vesting. Each tranche of these options are considered a
separate award when determining fair value.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires assumptions
of expected volatility of our stock price and expected term between grant date
and exercise date, along with other inputs to determine fair value. Assumptions
used to determine the fair value of stock options are considered Level 2 inputs
as defined by FAS 157. Expected volatility is based on historical changes in our
stock price measured over a period that approximates the expected term of our
stock options. Expected term and forfeitures are based on historical trends.
Information about assumptions used to value stock options can be found in Note
13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Non-vested shares, which cliff-vest
five years after the grant date, are valued at the grant-date market price for
BOK Financial common stock.

Stock options are generally granted annually. Certain key terms and conditions
of the awards, such as vesting periods and expiration dates, are defined by the
stock option plan document. The number of options to be awarded to each
individual employee is recommended by management and approved by the Independent
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors prior to setting the exercise
price. The exercise price of the options is the closing price for the Company's
common stock on the second business Friday of January, which is the grant date.

Executive incentive plans and individual employment agreements include
performance conditions that may increase or decrease the number of awards
granted based on future events. Unrecognized compensation cost, which generally
will be recognized as expense over the service period, based on the probable
outcome of these conditions is $12 million. Future compensation cost ranges from
approximately $5 million if none of the performance conditions are met to $15
million if all of the performance conditions are met.

Assessment of Operations

Net Interest Revenue

Tax-equivalent net interest revenue totaled $655 million for 2008 compared with
$554 million for 2007. Net interest revenue growth was driven primarily by a
$2.0 billion increase in average earning assets and a 17 basis point increase in
net interest margin.

Average outstanding loans increased $1.2 billion and average securities
increased $838 million. Average commercial loans were up $777 million over 2007.
Average residential mortgage loans and consumer loans increased $192 million and
$172 million, respectively. Growth in the securities portfolio generally
consisted of highly-rated, fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S.
government agencies. The addition of these securities supplemented the Company's
earnings in 2008.

Growth in average earning assets was funded primarily by an $810 million
increase in interest-bearing deposits and a $1.2 billion increase in borrowed
funds. In addition, average demand deposit accounts increased $264 million.
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.

Growth in deposits and borrowings was also used to fund a $276 million net
increase in average margin assets. Margin assets are placed by the Company to
secure its obligations under various derivative contracts. Margin assets are
generally reported as a

 19

reduction  of the  derivative  liabilities  which they  secure on the  Company's
consolidated  balance  sheet.  Fees earned on margin assets are included in fees
and  commissions  revenue  while the related cost of funds  reduces net interest
revenue.

Net interest margin, the ratio of tax-equivalent net interest revenue to average
earning assets, increased to 3.45% in 2008 compared with 3.28% in 2007. The
increase in net interest margin reflected a widening of the spread between LIBOR
and the federal funds rates in the second half of 2008. LIBOR is the basis for
interest earned on many of our loans. The federal funds rate is the basis for
interest paid on many of our interest-bearing liabilities. The widening spread
increased net interest margin by approximately 7 basis points in 2008. This
spread has largely narrowed to its historically normal level by year end. In
addition, market uncertainty increased yields on mortgage-backed securities
despite falling interest rates. The average yield on our securities portfolio
for 2008 increased 22 basis points compared with 2007. The increase in net
interest margin from widened spreads was partially offset by a reduction in the
benefit from non-interest bearing funding sources. This benefit decreased from
69 basis points in 2007 to 36 basis points in 2008. Very low market interest
rates, especially in the second half of 2008 reduced the benefit of non-interest
bearing funding sources. Also, the previously noted increase in average margin
assets funded by interest-bearing liabilities decreased net interest margin by 5
basis points.

Management regularly models the effects of changes in interest rate on net
interest revenue. Based on this modeling, we expect net interest revenue to
increase slightly over a one-year forward looking period. However, other factors
such as spreads between benchmark interest rates, loan spread compression,
deposit product mix and overall balance sheet composition may affect this
general expectation.

Our overall objective is to manage the Company's balance sheet to be essentially
neutral to changes in interest rates. Approximately 72% of our commercial loan
portfolio is either variable rate or fixed rate that will re-price within one
year. These loans are funded primarily by deposit accounts that are either
non-interest bearing, or that re-price more slowly than the loans. The result is
a balance sheet that would be asset sensitive, which means that assets generally
re-price more quickly than liabilities. Among the strategies that we use to
achieve a relatively rate-neutral position, we purchase fixed-rate,
mortgage-backed securities to offset the short-term nature of the majority of
our funding sources. The liability-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. Interest rate swaps
with a combined notional amount of $665 million convert fixed rate liabilities
to floating rate based on LIBOR. The purpose of these derivatives is to position
our balance sheet to be relatively neutral to changes in interest rates.

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 Market Risk section of this
report.

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


Fourth Quarter 2008 Net Interest Revenue

Tax-equivalent net interest revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $179
million compared with $144 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. Average
earning assets increase $2.0 billion or 11%, including a $1.1 billion or 9%
increase in average loans, net of allowance for loan losses, and a $928 million
or 16% increase in average securities. Growth in average earning assets was
funded by a $1.8 billion increase in interest-bearing liabilities, including an
$815 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a $987 million
increase in other borrowings. In addition, average demand deposits increased
$264 million.

Net interest margin was 3.57% for the fourth quarter of 2008 and 3.22% for the
fourth quarter of 2007. The previously mentioned widening of spread between
LIBOR and federal funds rates added approximately 15 basis points to the fourth
quarter of 2008. In addition, market uncertainty increased yields on
mortgage-backed securities despite falling short-term interest rates. The
benefit provided by non-interest bearing funding sources was 31 basis points in
the fourth quarter of 2008 and 62 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Very low market interest rates in 2008 reduced the benefit of non-interest
bearing funding sources.

2007 Net Interest Revenue

Tax-equivalent net interest revenue for 2007 was $554 million, a $60 million or
12% increase from 2006. Average earning assets increased $2.2 billion or 15%,
including a $1.7 billion increase in average outstanding loans, net of allowance
for loan losses, and a $447 million increase in average securities. Growth in
the securities portfolio generally consisted of highly-rated, fixed-rate
mortgage backed securities issued by U.S. government agencies. As shown in Table
2, net interest revenue increased $71 million due to changes in earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities. Net interest revenue growth due to earning
assets was partially

 21

offset by an $11 million  decrease due to changes in interest  yields and rates.
Changes in interest  rates and yields  include the  narrowing  of spreads due to
competitive pressures and other market conditions.

Other Operating Revenue

Other operating revenue increased $38 million compared with last year due to an
$8.4 million increase in fees and commission revenue and a $29 million increase
in net gains on securities, derivatives and other assets. Fees and commission
revenue was reduced by $54 million from net credit losses on derivative
contracts with two bankrupt counterparties during 2008.

Diversified sources of fees and commission revenue are a significant part of our
business strategy and represented 39% of total revenue, excluding gains and
losses on asset sales, securities and derivatives. We believe that a variety of
fee revenue sources provide an offset to 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, current
and future economic conditions, increased competition and saturation in our
existing markets could affect the rate of future increases.

(1)  Includes net derivative credit losses of $54 million.


Fees and Commissions Revenue

Brokerage and trading revenue declined $20 million compared with 2007 due to net
credit losses on derivative contracts with two counterparties in our customer
hedging program. These losses reduced brokerage and trading revenue by $54
million in 2008. As previously disclosed the principal owner of one of these
counterparties, SemGroup, L.P., resigned from our Board of Directors on July 16,
2008. Net credit losses on derivative contracts with SemGroup totaled $41
million. Excluding these credit losses, our brokerage and trading revenue
sources performed well. Securities trading revenue more than doubled, up $26
million over the previous year to $49 million. Retail brokerage revenue
increased $2.8 million to $21 million, up 15% over 2007. Revenue from customer
hedging activities excluding the two credit losses increased $7.2 million or 48%
over 2007. This growth rate of revenue from securities trading and customer
hedging is not expected to continue in 2009.

Transaction card revenue increased $9.7 million or 11% over 2007. Revenue growth
depends largely on the volume and amount of transactions processed, the number
of ATM locations and the number of merchants served. Check card revenue
increased $3.9 million or 16% due to growth in transaction volume. The number of
check card transactions processed during 2008 increased 18% over 2007. ATM fees
grew $4.7 million or 12% compared to the previous year. The number of TransFund
ATM locations totaled 1,933 at December 31, 2008, up 6% over last year. Merchant
discount revenue for 2008 totaled $28 million, up 4% over 2007.

Trust fees increased $746 thousand or 1%. The fair value of all trust
relationships overseen by the Company, which is the basis for a significant
portion of trust fees decreased to $30.5 billion at December 31, 2008 compared
with $36.3 billion at December 31, 2007. The decline in fair value of trust
assets was due to current market conditions. Personal trust management fees,
which provided 23% of total trust fees and commissions increased $495 thousand
or 2% over 2007. Net fees from mutual fund advisory and administrative services,
which provided 20% of total trust fees and commissions decreased $729 thousand
or 4%. Employee benefit plan management fees, which provided 20% of total trust
fees and commissions, increased $437 thousand. Revenue from foundations was down
$1.6 million or 25% from 2007. Revenue from the management of oil and gas
properties, which is more closely related to energy prices than the fair value
of trust assets, increased $2.3 million compared with 2007.

 22

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $8.3 million, or 8% compared with
2007. Commercial account service charge revenue increased 23% to $36 million and
overdraft fees increased 2% to $76 million. The increase in commercial service
charge revenue was due to a decrease in the earnings credit available to
commercial deposit customers. The earnings credit, which provides a non-cash
method for commercial customers to avoid incurring charges for deposit services,
decreases when interest rates fall. Service charges on retail deposit accounts
decreased 4% to $5.1 million due to continued migration to service-charge free
checking products.

Mortgage banking revenue increased $4.8 million or 22% over 2007. Servicing fee
revenue totaled $18 million or 0.35% of loans serviced for others in 2008 and
$17 million or 0.37% of loans serviced for others in 2007. The average
outstanding balance of loans serviced for others was $5.0 billion for 2008 and
$4.6 billion for 2007. Net secondary marketing gains totaled $9.5 million for
2008 and $5.2 million for 2007. Mortgage loans sold in the secondary market
totaled $1.2 billion in 2008 and $1.0 billion in 2007.

Margin asset fees totaled $8.5 million for 2008 and $4.8 million for 2007.
Margin assets, which are held primarily as part of the Company's customer
derivatives programs averaged $422 million for 2008 and $117 million for 2007.
The increase in revenue earned on margin assets is offset by a decrease in net
interest revenue due to the cost to fund margin assets.

Securities and Derivatives

Net gains and losses on securities included changes in the fair value of
securities held as an economic hedge of our mortgage servicing rights,
other-than-temporary impairment of variable-rate, perpetual preferred stocks and
realized gains and losses on certain available for sale securities. It also
included gains realized from the sale of equity securities received from initial
public stock offering by Visa, Inc. and Mastercard, Inc.

-------------------------------------------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- ------------ ------------



Net gains on derivatives totaled $1.3 million for 2008 and $2.3 million in 2007.
Net gains and losses on derivatives consist of fair value adjustments of all
derivatives used to manage interest rate risk and the related hedged liabilities
when adjustments are permitted by generally accepted accounting principles.
Derivative instruments generally consist of interest rate swaps where the
Company pays a variable rate based on LIBOR and receives a fixed rate. The fair
value of these swaps generally decreases when interest rates fall.

The Company adopted FAS 159 effective January 1, 2008. FAS 159 provides an
option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value. Certain certificates of deposit that were either currently designated as
hedged or had previously been designated as hedged, but no longer met the
correlation requirements of FAS 133 were designated as being reported at fair
value when FAS 159 was first adopted. In addition, certain certificates of
deposit issued subsequent to the adoption of FAS 159 have been designated as
reported at fair value. This determination is made when the certificates of
deposit are issued based on the Company's intent to swap the interest rate on
the certificates from a fixed rate to a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair
value of these fixed-rate certificates of deposit generally increases when
interest rates fall.

Fourth Quarter 2008 Other Operating Revenue

Other operating revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $128 million, a
$20 million or 19% increase over the fourth quarter of 2007. Fees and commission
revenue decreased $3.5 million or 3% compared with the fourth quarter of 2007.
Brokerage and trading revenue was up $3.1 million or 60% for the fourth quarter
due to continued strong securities trading gains, partially offset by reduced
investment banking transactions. Transaction card revenue increased $1.7 million
or 28% compared to the previous year due to ATM fees, merchant discount fees and
debit card processing volumes. Trust revenue decreased $3.0 million or 59%
compared with the fourth quarter of 2007 due largely to a 16% decrease in the
fair value of trust assets. Deposit service charges and fees decreased $699
thousand or 9% due to a reduction in overdraft fees, partially offset by an
increase in commercial account activity charges.

Net securities gains for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $20 million,
compared with net securities losses of $6.3 million for the fourth quarter of
2007.

2007 Other Operating Revenue

Other operating revenue totaled $399 million for 2007, up $27 million over 2006.
Fees and commissions revenue increased $34 million or 9%. Transaction card
revenue increased $12 million or 15% due to increases in check card revenue and
ATM fees. Brokerage and trading revenue grew $9.1 million or 17% due to
increased retail brokerage revenue and securities trading gains. Trust fees and
commissions were up $7.2 million or 10% due to a 15% increase in the fair value

charge revenue.

Net securities losses totaled $8.3 million for 2007 and $950 thousand for 2006.
Other-than-temporary impairment charges of $8.6 million were recognized in 2007

Personnel Expense

Personnel expense totaled $353 million for 2008 and $329 million for 2007.
Regular compensation, which consists of salaries and wages, overtime pay and
temporary personnel costs, totaled $220 million, up $13 million or 6% over 2007.
The increase in regular compensation was primarily due to an increase in the
average regular compensation per full time equivalent employee. Average staffing
levels increased 1% compared with 2007.

Incentive compensation increased $12 million or 16% to $83 million. Expense for
cash-based incentive compensation plans increased $17 million or 26%. These
plans are primarily either intended to provide current rewards to employees who
generate long-term business opportunities to the Company based on growth in
loans, deposits, customer relationships and other measurable metrics or intended
to compensate employees with commissions on completed transactions. The increase
in cash-based incentive compensation over 2007 included a $13 million or 84%
increase in sales commissions related to brokerage and trading revenue.

The Company also provides stock-based incentive compensation plans. Stock-based
compensation plans include both equity and liability awards. Compensation
expense related to liability awards decreased $5.2 million compared with 2007.
This decrease reflected changes in the market value of BOK Financial common
stock. The year-end closing market price per share of BOK Financial common stock
decreased $11.30 during 2008 and decreased $3.28 in 2007. Compensation expense
for equity awards increased $538 thousand or 8% compared with 2007. Expense for
equity awards is based on the grant-date fair value of the awards and is
unaffected by subsequent changes in fair value.

Employee benefit expense totaled $50 million, a $2.2 million or 5% increase over
2007 due to growth in payroll taxes, employee insurance expense and training
costs. Employee insurance costs were up $242 thousand or 1%. The Company
self-insures a portion of its employee health care coverage and these costs may
be volatile. The Company expects an increase of approximately $2.0 million in
pension expense for 2009 based on changes in the expected return on plan assets
and discount rate.

Mortgage Banking Costs

Certain mortgage banking costs, including changes in the fair value of mortgage
servicing rights and provision for losses on mortgage loans sold with recourse,
totaled $57 million in 2008 and $16 million in 2007. The fair value of mortgage
servicing rights decreased $35 million in 2008 and $2.9 million in 2007.
Anticipated prepayment speeds increased significantly in the fourth quarter of
2008 in response to government programs to lower mortgage interest rates.
Although we maintain a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities as an economic
hedge against changes in the fair value of our servicing rights, disconnection
between current yields on these securities and current mortgage loan commitment
rates limited the effectiveness of our hedge.

We also maintain a reserve for losses on mortgage loans sold with recourse.
Provision for losses on these loans totaled $8.6 million in 2008 and $1.1
million in 2007. These loans are more fully discussed in the Loan Commitments
section of this report.

Other Operating Expenses

All other operating expenses totaled $252 million for 2008, up $22 million or
10% over 2007. Deposit insurance expense increased $9.0 million over the
previous year due to the full implementation of assessment increases approved by
the FDIC in 2006. The Company expects deposit insurance cost to increase further
in 2009 as recently-announced increases in deposit insurance premiums and costs
of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program become effective.

Professional fees increased $4.2 million or 19% due to legal and other loan
collection costs. Data processing and communications costs increased $5.3
million or 7% due to higher processing volumes. Other operating expenses for
2008 were reduced by $5.5 million compared to the previous year from charges
related to Visa, Inc. retrospective responsibility plan. As a

 25

member of Visa, we are obligated for a  proportionate  share of certain  covered
litigation  costs incurred by Visa. These costs are expected to be covered by an
escrow  account.  The Company  accrued  $2.8  million in 2007 for its  estimated
obligation for certain  litigation covered by this plan. This accrual was offset
in March, 2008 when Visa funded a litigation escrow account from the proceeds of
its  initial  public  offering  of  common  shares.  During  2008,  the  Company
recognized  an  additional   obligation   for  settled   litigation   under  the
retrospective  responsibility plan and Visa contributed  additional funds to the
escrow  account.  See  Note  15 to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for
additional  information about the Company's contingent obligation under the Visa
retrospective responsibility plan.

Fourth Quarter 2008 Operating Expenses

Other operating expense totaled $185 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, up
$28 million over the fourth quarter of 2007. Excluding the previously discussed
change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights, other operating expenses
increased $4.6 million or 3%. Personnel expense increased $3.2 million and
deposit insurance expense increased $2.4 million. Professional fees increased
$1.7 million due to legal fees and other loan collection costs. Changes in
accruals for the Company's obligation under Visa, Inc. retrospective
responsibility plan reduced other operating expenses by $4.5 million.

2007 Operating Expenses

Other operating expense for 2007 totaled $575 million, a $63 million or 12%
increase over 2006. This increase resulted primarily from a $32 million increase
in personnel expense.

Personnel expense growth was driven largely by total employment, average
compensation per employee and incentive compensation expense. Regular
compensation expense totaled $207 million, up $21 million, or 12% increase over
2006. Incentive compensation increased $6.2 million, or 10% to $71 million.
Expense for cash-based incentive compensation plans increased $8.6 million or
16%. Stock-based compensation expense decreased $2.3 million or 21%. The
Company's stock-based compensation plans include both equity awards and
liability awards. Compensation expense associated with liability award plans
decreased $2.9 million due to changes in the market value of BOK Financial
common stock. Compensation expense for equity awards increased $567 thousand or
9% over 2006. Employee benefit expenses increased $2.3 million or 5% to $48
million.

Professional fees increased $5.1 million or 28% to $23 million compared with
2006. Growth in other professional fees includes costs related to acquisitions
and subordinated debt issued during 2007, costs related to the Securities and
Exchange Commission's examination of our mutual fund advisory activities
discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and professional
fees related to debt collection activities.

Other expenses in 2007 included a $2.8 million charge for our contingent
obligation to support Visa's antitrust litigation costs and a $695 thousand
increase in FDIC insurance premiums.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $65 million for 2008, $116 million for 2007 and $115
million for 2006. This represented 30%, 35% and 35%, respectively, of book
taxable income. Tax expense currently payable totaled $116 million in 2008, $129
million in 2007 and $122 million in 2006.

The statute of limitations expired on an uncertain income tax position and the
Company adjusted its current income tax liability to amounts on filed tax
returns for 2007 during 2008. In addition, the Company recognized the tax
benefit from certain appreciated securities contributed to the BOKF Charitable
Foundation in 2008. Income tax expense for 2008 would have been $71 million or
33% of book taxable income excluding these items.

Net deferred tax assets totaled $219 million at December 31, 2008 and $53
million at December 31, 2007. The increase was due primarily to the tax effect
of unrealized losses on available for sale securities and provision for credit
losses in excess of net loans charged off. We have evaluated the recoverability
of our net deferred tax asset based on taxes previously paid in net loss
carry-back periods and other factors and determined that no valuation allowance
was required.

Reserves for uncertain tax positions totaled $13 million at December 31, 2008
and December 31, 2007. BOK Financial operates in numerous jurisdictions, which
requires judgment regarding the allocation of income, expense and earnings under
various laws and regulations of each of these taxing jurisdictions. Each
jurisdiction may audit our tax returns and may take different positions with
respect to these allocations.

Income taxes expense for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $10 million or 23%
of book taxable income. Excluding the previously mentioned tax benefit from the
contribution of appreciated securities and quarterly adjustments to the annual
effective tax rate, income tax expense for the fourth quarter would have been
$15 million or 33% of book taxable income.

Lines of Business

BOK Financial operates three principal lines of business: commercial banking,
consumer banking and wealth management. Our principal lines of business have
been re-defined from the previous year to better present the Company's
organization as it has grown in markets outside of Oklahoma. Line of business
information for 2007 and 2006 has been revised for consistent presentation.
Commercial banking includes lending, treasury and cash management services and
customer risk management products to small businesses, middle market and larger
commercial customers. Commercial banking also includes the TransFund network.
Consumer banking includes retail lending and deposit services, all mortgage
banking activities and our indirect automobile lending products. Wealth
management provides fiduciary services, brokerage and trading, private financial
services and investment advisory services in all 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 business borrows funds from and
provides funds to the funds management unit as needed to support their
operations. Operating results for Funds Management and Other include the effect
of interest rate risk positions and risk management activities, the provision
for credit losses in excess of net loans charged off, tax planning strategies
and certain executive compensation costs that are not attributed to the lines of
business.

BOK Financial allocates resources and evaluates performance of its lines of
business after allocation of funds, certain indirect expenses, taxes based on
statutory rates, actual net credit losses 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 indeterminate maturities, such as demand deposit accounts
and interest-bearing transaction accounts, are transfer-priced at a rolling
average based on expected duration of the accounts. The expected duration ranges
from 30 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 management'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 exposures and calibrated
to its own loss history where possible. Average invested capital includes
economic capital and amounts we have invested in the lines of business.

As shown in Table 9, net income attributed to our lines of business decreased
$98 million or 42% from last year. The decrease was due primarily to credit
losses attributed to the business units. In addition, falling interest rates
decreased the transfer pricing credit provided to business units that generate
lower-costing funds for the Company.

Commercial Banking

Commercial banking contributed $79 million to consolidated net income in 2008,
down from $151 million in 2007. The decrease in commercial banking net income
was largely due to a $72 million increase in net loans charged-off and $41
million of net credit losses on a customer's derivatives position. These charges
combined to reduce commercial banking net income by $69 million in 2008.

Net interest revenue decreased $8.4 million or 3% compared with 2007. The
decline was primarily driven by two factors. Falling short-term interest rates
decreased the internal transfer pricing credit provided to the commercial
banking division for deposits sold to our funds management unit by approximately
$21 million. The funding charge for average non-interest earning derivative
assets increased approximately $12 million as those balances grew due to
commodity price volatility. This reduction was largely offset by an increase in
average outstanding balance of commercial loans. Other operating revenue
excluding the previously noted credit losses on derivative contracts, increased
$17 million or 13%, including a $6.3 million increase in deposit account service
charges and a $4.9 million increase in TransFund revenue. Operating expenses
were up $15 million or 8% due to higher personnel expenses, data processing
costs and professional fees to collect problem assets.

Net commercial banking loans charged off in 2008 totaled $82 million or 0.85% of
average loans attributed to this line of business. Commercial and industrial
loans charged off totaled $35 million or 1.47% of average commercial and
industrial loans. Commercial real estate loans charged off totaled $18 million
or 0.84% of average commercial real estate loans and small business banking
loans charged off totaled $11 million or 0.48% of average small business loans.
Net loans charged off in 2008 also included a $26 million energy loan. The
commercial banking division recognized an $11 million recovery of two loans
charged off in 2001 and 2005.

The average outstanding balance of loans attributed to commercial banking was
$9.7 billion for 2008. Average commercial banking division loans increased $903
million or 10% over 2007. Commercial and industrial loans averaged $2.3 billion
for 2008, a $277 million or 13% increase over 2007. Small business loans
averaged $2.2 billion for 2008, up $279 million or 14% over the previous year.
Energy loans averaged $1.8 billion, an increase of $173 million or 11% and
commercial real estate loans averaged $2.2 billion, up $54 million or 3% over
2007.

Average deposits attributed to commercial banking were $4.6 billion for 2008, up
$413 million or 10% over 2007. Treasury services account balances increased $260
million or 24% and deposit balances attributed to our energy customers increased
$92 million or 27%. High energy prices during 2008 provided liquidity to many of
our energy-producing customers.

Consumer Banking

Consumer banking services are provided through four primary distribution
channels: traditional branches, supermarket branches, the 24-hour ExpressBank
call center and On-line internet banking. We currently have 195 consumer banking
locations, including branch banking locations and mortgage lending offices. Our
consumer banking locations are primarily distributed 84 in Oklahoma, 47 in
Texas, 21 in New Mexico and 16 in Colorado. The Consumer Banking division plans
to open five locations in 2009, two in Phoenix, Arizona and one each in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, Allen, Texas and Kansas City, Missouri.

Consumer banking contributed $26 million to consolidated net income in 2008,
down from $57 million in 2007. The decrease in consumer banking net income was
largely due to a decrease in net interest revenue and a decrease in the fair
value of mortgage servicing rights, net of economic hedges. In addition, net
loans charged off increased $7.5 million due primarily to losses on indirect
automobile loans.

Net interest revenue from consumer banking activities decreased $4.4 million or
3% from 2007. Falling short-term interest rates decreased the internal transfer
pricing credit provided to the consumer banking division for deposits sold to
our funds management unit by $22 million. Other operating revenue increased $4.3
million or 3% over 2007. Deposit service charges were up $2.3 million or 3%.
Operating expenses increased $25 million or 13% over 2007. Personnel expense
increased $7.3 million or 12% due primarily to acquisition of branch locations
in Colorado and Texas in mid-year 2007. Deposit insurance expense was up $2.3
million and charges for mortgage loan foreclosure losses increased $7.5 million.

The decrease in fair value of our mortgage loan servicing rights, net of
economic hedging, reduced consumer banking net income by $14 million in 2008 and
$2.1 million in 2007. Anticipated prepayment speeds increased significantly in
the fourth quarter of 2008 in response to government programs to lower mortgage
interest rates. Although we maintain a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities
as an economic hedge against changes in the fair value of our servicing rights,
disconnection between current yields on these securities and current mortgage
loan commitment rates limited the effectiveness of our hedge.

The interest rate sensitivity of our mortgage servicing rights and securities
held as an economic hedge is modeled over a range of +/- 50 basis points. At
December 31, 2008, a 50 basis point increase in mortgage interest rates is
expected to increase the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights, net of
economic hedging by $1.9 million. A 50 basis point decrease in mortgage interest
rates is expected to decrease the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights,
net of economic hedging by $4.4 million. Modeling changes in the value of our
servicing rights due to changes in interest rates assumes stable relationships
between mortgage commitment rates and discount rates and assumed prepayment
speeds and actual prepayment speeds. Changes in market conditions can cause
variations from these assumptions. These factors and others may cause changes in
the value of our mortgage servicing rights to differ from our expectations.

Average consumer deposits increased $236 million or 4% over 2007.
Interest-bearing transaction accounts were up $302 million or 17% and time
deposits were down $161 million or 6%. Average demand deposit accounts increased
$73 million or 12%. Movement of funds among the various types of consumer
deposits was largely based on interest rates and product features offered.

Our Consumer Banking division originates, markets and services conventional and
government-sponsored mortgage loans for all of our markets. During 2008, we
funded $1.0 billion of mortgage loans, compared with $920 million in 2007.
Approximately 56% of our mortgage loans funded was in the Oklahoma market and
18% of mortgage loans funded was in the Texas market. We also service $6.0
billion of mortgage loans, including $793 million of loans serviced for
affiliated entities. Approximately 93% of the mortgage loans serviced was to
borrowers in our primary market areas.

Wealth Management

The Wealth Management division contributed $30 million of net income in 2008, up
$4.1 million or 16% over 2007. Net interest revenue decreased $719 thousand or
2%. Lower internal funds transfer credit provided for deposits sold to the funds
management unit decreased net interest revenue by $11 million. Other operating
revenue increased $25 million or 19% over 2007. Brokerage and trading revenue
was up $26 million, more than double 2007, due primarily to securities trading
revenue. Growth in trust fees and commissions was limited to $748 thousand or 1%
due primarily to a decrease in the fair value of trust assets.

Operating expenses increased $19 million or 14% over 2007. Personnel expense was
up $14 million or 17%, including a $13 million increase in sales commissions
associated with securities trading. Non-personnel operating expenses increased
$5.1 million or 11% compared with 2007 due to data processing and deposit
insurance costs.

The Wealth Management division provided $2.1 billion of average deposits in 2008
compared with $1.7 billion of average deposits in 2007. Interest-bearing
transaction accounts averaged $1.5 billion for 2008, an increase of $305 million
or 26% over 2007. Average time deposits were $389 million, up $102 million or
35% over last year. Deposit growth for the Wealth Management division was due
largely to movement of customer funds from managed money market products into
deposits.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, Wealth Management was responsible for trust
assets with aggregate fair values of $30.5 billion and $36.3 billion,
respectively, under various fiduciary arrangements. The decrease in fair value
of trust assets was due primarily to general market conditions. We have sole or
joint discretionary authority over $11.5 billion of trust assets at December 31,
2008 compared to $13.8 billion at December 31, 2007. The fair value of
non-managed assets totaled $11.3 billion at December 31, 2008, down from $13.1
billion at the previous year end. The fair value of assets held in safekeeping
totaled $7.7 billion at December 31, 2008 and $9.4 billion at December 31, 2007.

Geographic Market Distribution

The Company also secondarily evaluates performance by primary geographic market.
Loans are generally attributed to geographic markets based on the location of
the customer and may not reflect the location of the underlying collateral.
Brokered deposits and other wholesale funds are not attributed to a geographic
market. Funds management and other also includes insignificant results of
operations in locations outside our primary geographic regions.

Oklahoma Market

Oklahoma remains our predominate market. Our Oklahoma offices are located
primarily in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City metropolitan areas. Approximately 51%
of our average loans, 50% of our average deposits and 46% of our consolidated
net income is attributed to the Oklahoma market. In addition, all of our
mortgage servicing activity and 77% of our trust assets are attributed to the
Oklahoma market.

Net income generated in the Oklahoma market in 2008 totaled $70 million, down
$72 million from the previous year due primarily to credit losses and a decrease
in the fair value or mortgage servicing rights, net of economic hedges. Credit
losses in the Oklahoma market included a $26 million loan charge off and a $41
million loss on derivative contracts with SemGroup, L.P. The Oklahoma market
also recognized $11 million of recoveries of two loans charged-off in previous
years and a $6.8 million gain from the partial redemption of shares received
from the Visa, Inc. initial public offering.

 32

Net interest revenue decreased $17 million or 6% from 2007 due to the lower
internal funds transfer credit provided for deposits sold to the funds
management unit. This was partially offset by the benefit of a $67 million or 1%
increase in average loans in the Oklahoma market.

Other operating revenue, excluding the $41 million loss on derivative contracts
increased $27 million or 9% due primarily to transaction card revenue, mortgage
banking revenue and deposit account service charges. Operating expense increased
$38 million or 12% due primarily to higher personnel costs and deposit insurance
expense.

Net loans charged-off totaled $45 million or 0.70% of average loans in 2008 and
$11 million or 0.18% of average loans in 2007. Net loans charged-off in 2008,
excluding the SemGroup charge-offs and two recoveries that are not expected to
recur, totaled $30 million or 0.47% of average loans.

Texas Market

Texas is our second largest market. Our Texas offices are located primarily in
Dallas, Fort Worth and Houston metropolitan areas. Approximately 29% of our
average loans, 24% of our average deposits and 28% of our consolidated net
income is attributed to the Texas market.

Net interest revenue increased $2.5 million or 2% over 2007. Average outstanding
loans increased $587 million or 19% over 2007. The benefit of an increase in
average loans was largely offset by the reduced benefit from funds sold to the
funds management unit.

Other operating revenue increased 3% and operating expenses increased 7% over
last year. Growth in operating expenses included a full-year's costs of Worth
National Bank, which was acquired in May, 2007, and higher deposit insurance
costs.

Net loans charged-off totaled $17 million or 0.46% of average loans in 2008 and
$2.4 million or 0.08% of average loans in 2007.

Other Markets

Net income attributed to our New Mexico market totaled $14 million or 9% of
consolidated net income for 2008, down from $18 million in 2007. The decrease in
net income attributed to New Mexico resulted from lower net interest revenue due
to the lower internal funds transfer credit provided for deposits sold to the
funds management unit.

Net income in the Arkansas market increased to $9.4 million in 2008 from $4.8
million in 2007 due primarily to growth in securities trading revenue at our
Little Rock office. This was partially offset by a $2.0 million increase in net
loans charged-off, primarily indirect automobile loans.

Net income attributed to the Colorado market totaled $7.6 million in 2008, down
from $14 million in 2007. Net loans charged-off totaled $8.1 million or 0.95% of
average loans in 2008 and $276 thousand or 0.04% of average loans in 2007.

We incurred a net loss of $8.1 million in the Arizona market in 2008 compared
with net income of $4.1 million in 2007. The loss was largely due to an increase
in net loans charged-off and an increase in operating expenses. Net loans
charged-off totaled $18 million or 3.06% of average loans in 2008 and $1.6
million or 0.30% of average loans in 2007. Most of the net loans charged-off
were land and residential development loans originated in the Tucson market. The
increase in operating expenses are primarily related to personnel costs incurred
to build our commercial banking presence in the Phoenix market.

Investment securities, which consist primarily of Oklahoma municipal bonds, are
carried at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of
discounts. At December 31, 2008, investment securities were carried at $242
million and had a fair value of $246 million. Management has the ability 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 shareholders' equity. The amortized
cost of available for sale securities totaled $6.7 billion at December 31, 2008,
up $1.0 billion compared with December 31, 2007. Mortgage-backed securities
represented 97% of total available for sale securities. The Company holds no
debt securities of corporate issuers.

A 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 of risk both
before making an investment and throughout the life of the security. The
expected duration of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio was approximately
2.4 years at December 31, 2008. Management estimates that the expected duration
would extend to approximately 2.6 years assuming a 300 basis point immediate
rate shock. The effect of falling interest rates from current low levels is not
expected to be significant.

Mortgage-backed securities also have credit risk from delinquency or default of
the underlying loans. The Company mitigates this risk by primarily investing in
securities issued by U.S. government agencies. Principal and interest payments
on the underlying loans are fully guaranteed. At December 31, 2008,
approximately $4.9 billion of the amortized cost of the Company's
mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government agencies. The fair
value of these mortgage-backed securities totaled $5.0 billion at December 31,
2008.

The Company also holds approximately $1.6 billion, based on amortized cost, of
mortgage-backed securities privately issued by publicly-owned financial
institutions. The fair value of our portfolio of privately issued
mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.2 billion at December 31, 2008.

Credit risk on mortgage-backed securities originated by these issuers is
mitigated by investment in senior tranches with additional collateral support.
None of these securities are backed by sub-prime mortgage loans, collateralized
debt obligations or collateralized loan obligations. Approximately $390 million
of the privately issued mortgage-backed securities consisted of Alt-A mortgage
loans. Approximately 82% of these securities, including all Alt-A
mortgage-backed securities originated in 2007 and 2006, are credit enhanced with
additional collateral support. Approximately 86% of our Alt-A mortgage-backed
securities represented pools of fixed-rate mortgage loans. None of the
adjustable rate mortgages are payment option ARMs.

The aggregate gross amount of unrealized losses on available for sale securities
at December 31, 2008 totaled $418 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, support for debt securities provided by government guarantees or credit
enhancements, ratings of the respective issuers and other factors to assess the
prospects for recovery over various interest rate scenarios and time periods. We
also considered our intent and ability to either hold or sell the securities. It
is our belief, based on currently available information and our evaluation, that
the unrealized losses in these securities were temporary.

Approximately  $252 million of our portfolio of  mortgage-backed  securities are
rated below investment grade by at least one of the nationally-recognized rating
agencies. The aggregate unrealized loss on these securities totaled $92 million.
We use an adjusted loan to value ratio as part of our  evaluation of whether the
unrealized  losses on these  securities  are temporary or  other-than-temporary.
Consideration is given to  other-than-temporary  impairment if the adjusted loan
to value ratio of a specific security exceeds 85%. We expect the number of below
investment  grade  securities to increase as the rating agencies  continue their
evaluations in a worsening  economy.  A distribution of the amortized cost, fair
value and unrealized  loss by adjusted loan to value ratio is presented in Table
22.

Our portfolio of available for sale securities also included preferred stocks
issued by seven financial institutions. These stocks were originally purchased
for $46 million and have a current carrying value of $32 million. Our carrying
value of these stocks has been reduced by $14 million of other-than-temporary
impairment charges. None of the institutions that issued these stocks were in
default. These preferred stocks have certain debt-like features such as a
quarterly dividend based on LIBOR.  However,

 38

the issuers of these stocks have no  obligation  to redeem  them.  The
aggregate  fair value of these  preferred  stocks  decreased  to $22  million at
December 31, 2008 due to a  significant  widening of spreads to LIBOR related to
current  market  disruptions.  Management  believes that the fair value of these
securities  will recover to our  carrying  value as spreads to LIBOR return to a
range of 400 basis points to 500 basis points.

Certain mortgage-backed securities, identified as mortgage trading securities,
have been designated as economic hedges of mortgage servicing rights. These
securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in
current period income. These securities are held with the intent that gains or
losses will offset changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. The
Company also maintains a separate trading portfolio. Trading portfolio
securities, which are also carried at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in current period income, are acquired and held with the intent to
sell at a profit to the Company.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The Company has approximately $237 million invested in bank-owned life insurance
at December 31, 2008. These investments are expected to provide a long-term
source of earnings to support existing employee benefit programs. Approximately
$204 million is held in separate accounts. The Company's separate account
holdings are invested in diversified portfolios of investment-grade fixed income
securities and cash equivalents, including U.S. Treasury and Agency securities,
mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt, asset-backed and CMBS securities.
The portfolios are managed by unaffiliated professional managers within
parameters established in the portfolio's investment guidelines. The cash
surrender value of the life insurance policies is further supported by a stable
value wrap, which protects against changes in the fair value of the investments.
At December 31, 2008, cash surrender value represented by the underlying fair
value of investments held in separate accounts was approximately $199 million
and cash surrender value represented by the value of the stable value wrap was
approximately $4.6 million. The stable value wrap was provided by a
highly-rated, domestic financial institution. The remaining cash surrender value
of $33 million primarily represented the cash surrender value of policies held
in the general accounts and amounts due from various insurance companies.

Loans

The aggregate loan portfolio before allowance for loan losses totaled $12.9
billion at December 31, 2008, a $935 million or 8% increase since December 31,
2008. Commercial loans, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans increased
during the year. Commercial real estate loans decreased during the same period.

In previous years, the Company had reported residential loans held for sale by
its mortgage banking division as part of its loan portfolio. These loans are now
reported separately on the consolidated balance sheet and are excluded from this
discussion. Information for prior periods has been reclassified for consistent
presentation.

The commercial loan portfolio increased $650 million during 2008 to $7.4 billion
at December 31, 2008. Energy loans totaled $2.3 billion or 18% of total loans.
Outstanding energy loans increased $357 million during 2008. Approximately $2.0
billion of energy loans was to oil and gas producers, up from $1.6 billion at
December 31, 2007. The amount of credit available to these customers generally
depends on a percentage of the value of their proven energy reserves based on
anticipated prices. The energy category also included $161 million of loans to
borrowers that provide services to the energy industry, $128 million of loans to
borrowers engaged in wholesale or retail energy sales and $55 million of loans
to borrowers that manufacture equipment for the energy industry. The energy
category of our loan portfolio is distributed $1.1 billion in Oklahoma, $728
million in Texas and $433 million in Colorado.

The services sector of the loan portfolio totaled $2.0 billion or 16% of total
loans and consists of a large number of loans to a variety of businesses,
including communications, gaming, financial services and transportation
services. Outstanding loans to the services sector of the loan portfolio
increased $305 million during 2008. Approximately $1.3 billion of the services
category is made up of loans with individual balances of less than $10 million.
Approximately $731 million of the outstanding balance of services loans is
attributed to Texas, $658 million to Oklahoma, $247 million to New Mexico, $135
million to Arizona and $132 million to Colorado.

Other notable loan concentrations by primary industry of the borrowers are
presented in Table 23.

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, 2008, the
outstanding principal balance of these loans totaled $2.2 billion. Substantially
all of these loans are to borrowers with local market relationships. BOK
Financial serves as the agent lender in approximately 21% of its shared national
credits, based on dollars committed. 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 $2.7 billion or 21% of the loan portfolio
at December 31, 2008. Over the past five years, the percentage of commercial
real estate loans to our total loan portfolio ranged from 20% to 23%.

The outstanding balance of commercial real estate loans decreased $22 million or
1% from the previous year end. Construction and land development loans decreased
$81 million to $926 million at December 31, 2008. Approximately $244 million of
these loans are attributed to the Oklahoma market, $246 million to the Texas
market, $172 million to the Colorado market and $155 million to the Arizona
market.

Loans secured by multifamily residential properties increased $102 million,
primarily in the Texas and Oklahoma markets. Loans secured by office buildings
increased $38 million, primarily in the Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico
markets. The geographic distribution of the $1.8 billion of commercial real
estate loans excluding construction land and land development loans primarily
consisted of $600 million in Oklahoma, $580 million in Texas, $206 million in
New Mexico, $165 million in Arizona and $90 million in Colorado. Other
commercial real estate loans in the Arizona market included $64 million secured
by retail facilities and $47 million secured by office facilities.

Residential mortgage loans totaled $1.8 billion, up $218 million or 14% since
December 31, 2007. Permanent 1-4 family mortgage loans increased $181 million
and home equity loans increased $37 million. We have no concentration in
sub-prime residential mortgage loans and our mortgage loan portfolio does not
include payment option adjustable rate mortgage loans or loans with initial
rates that are below market. Our portfolio of permanent 1- 4 family mortgage
loans includes $127 million of community development loans. These loans are
generally underwritten to prime standards and require full documentation.
Approximately $1.2 billion of our residential mortgage loan portfolio is
attributed to borrowers in Oklahoma and $315 million to borrowers in Texas.

At December 31, 2008, consumer loans included $693 million of indirect
automobile loans. Approximately $434 million of these loans were purchased from
dealers in Oklahoma and $170 million were purchased from dealers in Arkansas.
The remaining $88 million were purchased from dealers in Texas. Indirect
automobile loans increased $110 million through June 30,

 40

2008,  then decreased $42 million during the second half of 2008.  Approximately
6% of the  outstanding  balance at December 31, 2008 is  considered  near-prime,
which is defined as loans to borrowers that had poor credit in the past but have
re-established  credit  over a period of time.  We  generally  do not  originate
sub-prime indirect automobile loans.

Loan Commitments

BOK Financial enters into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal
course of business. These arrangements included loan commitments which totaled
$5.0 billion and standby letters of credit which totaled $599 million at
December 31, 2008. Loan commitments may be unconditional obligations to provide
financing or conditional obligations that depend on the borrower's financial
condition, collateral value or other factors. Standby letters of credit are
unconditional commitments to guarantee the performance of our customer to a
third party. Since some of these commitments are expected to expire before being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. Approximately $1.6 million of the outstanding standby letters
of credit were issued on behalf of customers whose loans are non-performing at
December 31, 2008.

The Company also has off-balance sheet commitments for residential mortgage
loans sold with full or partial recourse. These loans consist of first lien,
fixed rate residential mortgage loans originated under various community
development programs and sold to U.S. government agencies. These loans were
underwritten to standards approved by the agencies, including full
documentation. However, these loans have a higher risk of delinquency and losses
from default than traditional residential mortgage loans. A separate recourse
reserve is maintained as part of other liabilities. At December 31, 2008, the
principal balance of loans sold subject to recourse obligations totaled $391
million. Substantially all of these loans are to borrowers in our primary
markets including $274 million to borrowers in Oklahoma, $44 million to
borrowers in Arkansas, $22 million to borrowers in New Mexico, $19 million to
borrowers in the Kansas City area and $18 million to borrowers in Texas. The
separate reserve for this off-balance commitment totaled $8.8 million at
December 31, 2008. Approximately 3.14% of the loans sold with recourse with an
outstanding principal balance of $13 million were either delinquent more than 90
days, in bankruptcy or in foreclosure. The provision for credit losses on loans
sold with recourse, which is included in mortgage banking costs, was $8.6
million for 2008. Net losses charged against the reserve totaled $3.4 million
for 2008.

Customer Derivative Programs

The Company offers programs that permit its customers to hedge various risks,
including fluctuations in energy, cattle and other agricultural product prices,
interest rates and foreign exchange rates, or to take positions in derivative
contracts. Each of these programs work essentially the same way. Derivative
contracts are executed between the customers and BOK Financial. Offsetting
contracts are executed between the Company and selected counterparties to
minimize the risk to us 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 us as compensation
for administrative costs, credit risk and profit.

The customer derivative programs create credit risk for potential amounts due to
the Company from its customers and from the counterparties. Customer credit risk
is monitored through existing credit policies and procedures. The effects of
changes in commodity prices, interest rates or foreign exchange rates are
evaluated across a range of possible 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
of the counterparties. Individual limits are established by management, approved
by Credit Administration and reviewed by the Asset / Liability Committee. Margin
collateral is required if the exposure between the Company and any counterparty
exceeds established limits. Based on declines in the counterparties' credit
ratings, these limits are reduced and additional margin collateral may be
required.

A deterioration of the credit standing of one or more of the customers or
counterparties 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 occurs if the credit standing of the customer or
counterparty deteriorated such that either the fair value of underlying
collateral no longer supported the contract or the customer or counterparty's
ability to provide margin collateral was impaired.

Derivative contracts are carried at fair value. At December 31, 2008, the net
fair values of derivative contracts reported as assets under these programs
totaled $656 million, up from $501 million at December 31, 2007. At December 31,
2008, derivative contracts carried as assets included energy contracts with fair
values of $423 million, interest rate contracts with fair values of $174 million
and foreign exchange contracts with fair values of $52 million. The aggregate
net fair values of derivative contracts held under these programs reported as
liabilities totaled $682 million.

As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position FIN 39-1 which
permits offsetting of cash collateral against the fair value of derivative
instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting
agreement. Total derivative assets were reduced by $217 million of cash
collateral received from counterparties and total derivative liabilities were
reduced by $15 million of cash collateral delivered to counterparties at
December 31, 2008.

The fair value of derivative contracts reported as assets under these programs,
net of cash margin held by the Company, by category of debtor at December 31,
2008 was (in thousands):

Customers                                                     $206,719

Fair value of customer hedge asset derivative contracts, net   $439,054
                                                               ========

The largest net reported amount due from a single counterparty, a subsidiary of
a major energy company, at December 31, 2008 was $64 million. Letters of credit
issued by independent financial institutions further reduce our exposure to this
customer to $14 million.

Our customer derivative program also introduces liquidity and capital risk. We
are required to provide cash margin to certain counterparties when the net
negative fair value of the contracts exceed established limits. Also, changes in
commodity prices affect the amount of regulatory capital we are required to hold
as support for the fair value of our derivative assets. These risks are modeled
as part of the management of these programs. Based on current prices, a decrease
in market prices equivalent to $20 per barrel of oil would increase the fair
value of derivative assets by $256 million. An increase in prices equivalent to
$80 per barrel of oil would decrease the fair value of derivative assets by $98
million as current prices move closer to the fixed prices embedded in our
existing contracts. Further increases in prices equivalent to $120 per barrel of
oil would increase the fair value of our derivative assets by $621 million.
Liquidity requirements of this program are also affected by our credit rating. A
decrease in credit rating from A1 to below investment grade would increase our
obligation to post cash margin on existing contracts by approximately $286
million.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

BOK Financial maintains separate reserves for loan losses and reserves for
off-balance sheet credit risk. The combined allowance for loan and off-balance
sheet credit losses totaled $248 million or 1.93% of outstanding loans and 83%
of non-accruing loans at December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2007, the combined
allowance for loan losses and off-balance sheet credit losses was $148 million
or 1.24% of outstanding loans and 175% of non-accruing loans. The reserve for
loan losses totaled $233 million or 1.81% of outstanding loans at December 31,
2008 and $127 million or 1.06% of outstanding loans at December 31, 2007. The
reserve for off-balance sheet credit commitments was $15 million at December 31,
2008, down from $21 million at December 31, 2007 due largely to changes in risk
factors and the funding of existing commitments.

Net loans charged off during 2008 totaled $102 million compared to $21 million
in the previous year. The ratio of net loans charged off to average outstanding
loans was 0.81% for 2008 compared with 0.19% for 2007.

Gross loans charged off in 2008 totaled $122 million, an increase of $91 million
over 2007. The single largest gross amount charged off during 2008 was $26
million from the SemGroup credit. The remaining gross loans charged off included
$49 million of other commercial loans, $19 million of commercial real estate
loans and $21 million of consumer loans. Recoveries of loans previously charged
off increased to $20 million in 2008 from $11 million in the previous year. In
addition to the normal trend of recoveries, we recovered $7.1 million from a
loan charged off in 2005 and $4.0 million from a loan charged off in 2001 during
2008.

Commercial loans charged off in 2008, in addition to SemGroup, included $17
million in the services sector of the loan portfolio. Commercial loans charged
off were distributed across our markets. Commercial real estate loans charged
off were largely concentrated in the Arizona market. Approximately $16 million
of land and residential construction loans in Arizona were charged off in 2008.

Consumer loan net charge-offs, which includes indirect auto loan and deposit
account overdraft losses, totaled $14 million for 2008, up $6.3 million over the
previous year. Net charge-offs of indirect auto loans totaled $8.6 million for
2008 and $2.9 million for 2007. Net indirect auto loans charged off were $4.7
million in the Oklahoma market, $2.9 million in the Arkansas market and $923
thousand in the Texas market.

The Company considers the credit risk from loan commitments and letters of
credit in its evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses. A
separate reserve for off-balance sheet credit risk is maintained. Table 27
presents the trend of reserves for off-balance sheet credit losses and the
relationship between the reserve and loan commitments. The relationship between
the combined reserve for credit losses and outstanding loans is also presented
for comparison with peer banks and others who have not adopted the preferred
presentation. The provision for credit losses included the combined 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 collection
efforts.

At December 31, 2008, specific impairment reserves totaled $29 million on total
impaired loans of $270 million. Specific impairment reserves were $4.4 million
on total impaired loans of $74 million at December 31, 2007. Impaired loans with
no specific impairment reserves totaled $76 million at December 31, 2008.
Impairment losses on these loans were charged-off against the allowance for loan
losses as they were identified.

Nonspecific reserves are maintained for risks beyond factors specific to an
individual loan or those identified through migration analysis. A range of
potential losses is determined for each risk factor identified. The range of
nonspecific reserves for general economic factors includes their effect on our
commercial, commercial real estate, residential mortgage and consumer loan
portfolios. Nonspecific reserves attributed to general economic conditions
increased during 2008. Weakness in the economy

 45

became more  apparent due to disruption in the credit  markets,  lower  consumer
confidence and continued weakness in residential real estate markets.

The provision for credit losses totaled $203 million for 2008, compared with $35
million for the previous year. Factors considered in determining the provision
for credit losses for 2008 included trends of increasing net charge-offs and
nonperforming loans, concentrations in commercial real estate and residential
homebuilder loans and deteriorating trends in the general economy. The
application of statistical migration factors to our loan portfolio identified a
trend toward more rapid deterioration from pass grading in the current
recession. The increased provision also considered growth in identified
potential problem loans.

Our loan review process also identified loans that possess more than the normal
amount of risk due to deterioration in the financial 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 concern
as to the borrowers' ability to comply with current repayment terms. These
potential problem loans totaled $95 million at December 31, 2008. The current
composition of potential problem loans by primary industry included real estate
- $68 million, healthcare - $17 million and services - $6 million. Potential
problem real estate loans included $37 million of residential development loans
on properties primarily located in Arizona and Colorado, $12 million of loans
secured by undeveloped land located primarily in Arizona and $11 million of
loans secured by office buildings.

Liquidity and Capital

Subsidiary Banks

Deposits and borrowed funds are the primary sources of liquidity for the
subsidiary banks. Approximately 63% of our funding is provided by average
deposit accounts, 22% from borrowed funds, 2% from long-term subordinated debt
and 9% from shareholders' equity. Our funding sources, which primarily include
deposits, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Banks and other banks, and may
include issuance of qualifying debt under the TLGP, provide adequate liquidity
to meet our operating needs.

Deposit accounts represent our largest funding source. During 2008, the Company
revised the presentation of certain deposit accounts. Previously, demand deposit
accounts were shown net of adjustments made to manage reserve requirements.
These adjustments were excluded from the current presentation to provide a
more-meaningful presentation of the Company's deposit accounts. All prior
periods have been reclassified for a consistent presentation. The
reclassification had no effect on total deposits, interest expense, net interest
revenue or net interest margin.

We compete for retail and commercial deposits by offering a broad range of
products and services and focusing on customer convenience. Retail deposit
growth is supported through our Perfect Banking sales and customer service
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 supported by offering treasury management and lockbox
services. We also acquire brokered deposits when the cost of funds is
advantageous to other funding sources.

Average deposits represented approximately 63% of total average liabilities and
capital for 2008, compared with 66% for 2007. The decrease in deposits relative
to our other funding sources was due to several factors. Funds purchased,
repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds were lower-costing funding
sources during much of 2008. We increased borrowings to fund our securities
portfolio growth. Additionally, we increased borrowings in mid-year to fund
margin calls related to our derivatives liabilities.

Average deposits totaled $13.7 billion for 2008, up $1.1 billion or 9% over
2007. Average interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts continued to grow in
2008, up $834 million or 15% over 2007. Average demand deposits also increased,
up $264 million or 11% over last year. Average time deposits decreased $16
million from 2007.

Growth in our average interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts included
$305 million of wealth management deposits, $306 million of consumer banking
deposits and $326 million of commercial deposits.

Brokered deposits, which are included in time deposits, averaged $735 million
for 2008, up $120 million or 20% over the previous year. Brokered deposits
totaled $1.0 billion at December 31, 2008. These deposits were largely added to
remix wholesale funding sources in order to provide more available overnight
liquidity. Average wealth management time deposits

increased $102 million or 35% compared with 2007. Average retail time deposits
decreased $161 million or 6% compared with 2007.

Core deposits which we define as deposits of less than $100,000 excluding public
funds and brokered deposits, averaged $6.6 billion for 2008 and $6.4 billion for
2007. Accounts with balances in excess of $100,000 excluding brokered deposit
accounts averaged $5.6 billion for 2008 and $5.0 billion for 2007.

In addition to deposits, subsidiary bank liquidity is provided primarily by
federal funds purchased, securities repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan
Bank borrowings. Federal funds purchased consist primarily of unsecured,
overnight funds acquired from other financial institutions. Funds are primarily
purchased from bankers' banks and Federal Home Loan banks from across the
country. The largest single source of Federal funds purchased totaled $200
million at December 31, 2008. Securities repurchase agreements generally mature
within 90 days and are secured by certain available for sale securities.

 51

Federal  Home Loan Bank  borrowings  generally  mature  within  one year and are
secured by a blanket pledge of eligible collateral (generally  unencumbered U.S.
Treasury  and  mortgage-backed   securities,   1-4  family  mortgage  loans  and
multifamily  mortgage loans).  At December 31, 2008, the outstanding  balance of
federal  funds  purchased   totaled  $1.6  billion  and  securities   repurchase
agreements  totaled $1.4  billion.  Amounts  borrowed from the Federal Home Loan
Banks of Topeka and Dallas totaled $991 million.

The Company elected to participate in the TLGP, which expanded insurance
coverage to certain qualifying debt issued by eligible financial institutions.
In general, senior unsecured debt newly issued on or before June 30, 2009 will
be fully protected by the FDIC through the earlier of the maturity of the debt
or June 30, 2012. Collectively, our subsidiary banks may issue up to $1.8
billion of TLGP protected debt. No TLGP protected debt is currently outstanding.

In 2008, the subsidiary banks began borrowing funds under the Federal Reserve
Bank Term Auction Facility program. This is a temporary program which allows
banks that are in generally sound financial condition to bid for funds. Funds
are borrowed for either 28 or 84 days and are secured by a pledge of eligible
collateral. Funds borrowed under this program totaled $450 million at December
31, 2008.

At December 31, 2008, the estimated unused credit available to the subsidiary
banks from our traditional sources and within our internal policy limits was
approximately $4.6 billion.

Parent Company

The primary source of liquidity for BOK Financial is dividends from subsidiary
banks, which are limited by various banking regulations to net profits, as
defined, for the year plus retained profits for the preceding two years.
Dividends are further restricted by minimum capital requirements. Based on the
most restrictive limitations, at December 31, 2008, the subsidiary banks could
declare up to $171 million of dividends without 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. The subsidiary
banks could declare dividends of up to $119 million under this policy. Future
losses or increases in required regulatory capital at the subsidiary banks could
affect their ability to pay dividends to the parent company.

On July 21, 2008, the Company entered into a $188 million, unsecured revolving
credit agreement with George B. Kaiser, its Chairman and principal shareholder.
The revolving credit agreement with Mr. Kaiser replaced a similar credit
agreement with certain commercial banks that was terminated at the Company's
request. The Company was in compliance with all terms of that credit agreement
when it was terminated. Interest on the outstanding balance due to Mr. Kaiser is
based on one-month LIBOR plus 125 basis points and is payable quarterly.
Additional interest in the form of a facility fee is paid quarterly on the
unused portion of the commitment at 25 basis points. This agreement has no
restrictive covenants. This credit agreement matures in December, 2010. At
December 31, 2008, the outstanding balance under this credit agreement was $50
million. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company fully repaid the amounts
owed under this credit agreement.

Equity capital for BOK Financial was $1.8 billion at December 31, 2008, down $89
million from December 31, 2007. Net income less cash dividend paid increased
equity $94 million. Accumulated other comprehensive losses increased $192
million during 2008 due primarily to an increase in net unrealized losses on
available for sale securities. Employee stock option transactions increased
equity capital $16 million and common share repurchases reduced shareholders'
equity $8.0 million. Capital is managed to maximize long-term value to the
shareholders. Factors considered in managing capital include projections of
future earnings, asset growth and acquisition strategies, and regulatory and
debt covenant requirements. Capital management may include subordinated debt
issuance, share repurchase and stock and cash dividends.

BOK Financial is the largest commercial bank, based on asset size, that elected
not to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The decision not to
participate in TARP was based on an evaluation of our capital needs in both the
current environment and in several capital stress environments. We considered
capital requirements for organic growth and potential acquisitions, the cost of
TARP capital and a defined exit strategy when the cost of TARP capital increases
substantially at the end of year five. We also considered reasonable capital and
liquidity support from our majority shareholder.

On April 26, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program,
which replaced a previously authorized program. The maximum of two million
common shares may be repurchased. The specific timing and amount of shares
repurchased will vary based on market conditions, securities law limitations and
other factors. Repurchases may be made over time in open market or privately
negotiated transactions. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued
at any time without prior notice. Since this program began, 784,073 shares have
been repurchased by the Company for $38.7 million. The Company repurchased
166,114 shares for $8.0 million in 2008.

BOK Financial and subsidiary banks are subject to various capital requirements
administered by federal agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that could have a material impact on operations. These capital
requirements include quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
off-balance sheet items. The capital standards are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators.

 52

For a banking institution to qualify as well capitalized, its Tier 1, Total and
Leverage capital ratios must be at least 6%, 10% and 5%, respectively. All of
the Company's banking subsidiaries exceeded the regulatory definitions of well
capitalized. The capital ratios for BOK Financial on a consolidated basis and
for each of the subsidiary banks are presented in Note 16 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Capital resources of financial institutions are also regularly measured by the
tangible common shareholders' equity ratio. Common shareholders' equity is
shareholders' equity as defined by generally accepted accounting principles less
intangible assets and equity which does not benefit common shareholders. Equity
that does not benefit common shareholders includes preferred equity and equity
provided by the U.S. Treasury's TARP program. This non-GAAP measurement is a
valuable indicator of a financial institution's capital strength since it
eliminates intangible assets from shareholders' equity and retains the effect of
unrealized losses on securities and other components of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity. At December 31, 2008, BOK
Financial's tangible common shareholders' equity ratio was 6.64%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the third quarter of 2007, BOk agreed to guarantee rents totaling $28.4
million over 10 years to the City of Tulsa ("City") as owner of a building
immediately adjacent to the bank's main office. These rents are due for space
rented by third-party tenants in the building as of the date of the agreement.
All guaranteed space has been rented since the date of the agreement. In return
for this guarantee, BOk will receive 80% of net rent as defined in an agreement
with the City over the next 10 years from space in the same building that was
vacant as of the date of the agreement. The maximum amount that BOk may receive
under this agreement is $4.5 million. The fair value of this agreement at
inception was zero and no asset or liability is currently recognized in the
Company's financial statements.

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 and to purchase securities, 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, 2008.

Deferred compensation and stock-based compensation obligations        22,524

Payments on time deposits and other borrowed funds include interest which has
been calculated from rates at December 31, 2008. 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.

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 withdrawal.

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

 53

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

Loan commitments represent legally binding obligations to provide financing to
our customers. Some of these commitments are expected to expire before being
drawn upon and the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. Approximately $2.0 billion of the loan commitments expire
within one year.

Obligations under derivative contracts are used in customer hedging programs. As
previously discussed, we have entered into derivative contracts which are
expected to substantially offset the cash payments due on these obligations.

The Company has funded $43 million and has commitments to fund an additional $14
million for various alternative investments. Alternative investments generally
consist of limited partnership interests in or loans to entities that invest in
distressed assets, energy development, venture capital and other activities. The
Company is prohibited by banking regulations from controlling or actively
managing the activities of these investments.

The Company has $17.5 million of commitments to make investments through its BOK
Financial Private Equity Funds. These commitments, which are included in
unfunded third-party private equity commitments, generally reflect customer
investment obligations.

The Company has compensation and employment agreements with our President and
Chief Executive Officer. Collectively, these agreements provide, among other
things, that all unvested stock-based compensation shall fully vest upon his
termination, subject to certain conditions. These agreements provide for
settlement in cash or other assets. We currently have recognized a $15 million
liability for these plans. This liability would increase to $16 million if all
awards were fully vested. We also have obligations with respect to employee and
executive benefit plans. See Notes 12 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information about our employee benefit plans.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Financial Accounting Standards Board

Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159")

The Company adopted FAS 159, effective January 1, 2008. FAS 159 provides an
option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value. Certain certificates of deposit that were either currently designated as
hedged or had previously been designated as hedged, but no longer met the
correlation requirements of FAS 133, were designated as being reported at fair
value. Adoption of FAS 159 increased opening retained earnings for the first
quarter of 2008 by $62 thousand. Interest expense on certificates of deposit
carried at fair value is based on the instruments' contractual interest rates
and outstanding principal balances.

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  141  (Revised),  "Business
Combinations" ("FAS 141R")

The FASB issued FAS 141R during 2007 to replace Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. FAS 141R applies to all
transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control over one or more
businesses, including combinations achieved without the transfer of
consideration. FAS 141R retains the fundamental requirement that all business
combinations must be accounted for under the acquisition or purchase method of
accounting. All assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets,
liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests must be recognized at the
acquisition-date fair values. Banks may no longer carry over the pre-acquisition
allowance for loan losses. Costs incurred to effect the acquisition and
restructuring costs that the acquirer is expected but not obligated to incur
must be recognized separately from the business combination. Contingent assets
and liabilities generally will be recognized at their acquisition-date fair
values. Changes in the recognized amounts of contingent assets and liabilities
will be recognized in post acquisition-date earnings. FAS 141R may have a
significant effect on the Company's financial statements for business
combinations completed after January 1, 2009.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160,"Non-controlling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("FAS 160")

The FASB issued FAS 160 during 2007 to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest,
is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a
component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other
requirements, FAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts
that included the amounts attributable to both the parent and the
non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the
consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income
attributable

 54

to the  parent  and to the  non-controlling  interest.  FAS 160,  which  will be
adopted on January 1, 2009, is not expected to have a significant  impact on the
Company's financial statements.

Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  161,  "Disclosure  About
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,  an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133," ("FAS 161")

FAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FAS 133 to provide
greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are
accounted for under FAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, FAS
161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using
derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and
losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related
contingent features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 is effective for the
Company on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on
the Company's financial statements.

FASB Staff Position FIN 39-1, "Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39"

As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FSP FIN 39-1, which permits
offsetting of cash collateral against the fair value of derivative instruments
executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. The total
amount of derivative assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2008 was reduced
by $217 million and $15 million, respectively, of cash collateral. Derivative
liabilities as of December 31, 2007 were reduced by $172 million of cash
collateral.

FASB Staff Position No. EITF 99-20-1,  "Amendment to the Impairment and Interest
Income Measurement Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20" ("FSP EITF 99-20-1")

FSP EITF 99-20-1 amends the impairment (and related interest income measurement)
guidance for certain beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that
are within the scope of EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income
and Impairment of Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That
Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets" ("EITF
99-20"). This FSP eliminates the requirement that a holder's best estimate of
cash flows be based upon those that "a market participant" would use. Instead,
this FSP requires that an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") be recognized
as a realized loss through earnings when it is "probable" there has been an
adverse change in the holder's estimated cash flows from the cash flows
previously projected, which is consistent with the impairment model in FAS 115.
The FSP also reiterates and emphasizes the objective of an OTTI assessment and
the related disclosure requirements in FAS 115 and other related guidance,
including the requirement that the holder consider all available information
when developing the estimate of future cash flows (i.e. past events, current
conditions and expected events). FSP 99-20-1 is effective for the Company as of
December 31, 2008 and did not have a significant impact on the Company's
financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

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 expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. Management judgments relating to and
discussion of the provision and reserves for loan losses and off-balance sheet
credit losses, reserves for uncertain tax positions and accruals for loss
contingencies involve judgments as to expected events and are inherently
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 provided by others
that BOK Financial has not independently verified. 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 companies 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

Legal Notice

As used in this report, the term "BOK Financial" and such terms as "the
Company," "the Corporation," "our," "we" and "us" may refer to one or more of
the consolidated subsidiaries or all of them taken as a whole. All these terms
are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of
any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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 prices, commodity
prices or equity prices. Financial instruments that are subject to market risk
can be classified either as held for trading or held for purposes other than
trading. Market risk excludes changes in fair value due to credit of the
individual issuers of financial instruments.

BOK Financial is subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes
in interest rates on both its assets held for purposes 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 and agricultural
product derivative contracts, which are affected by changes in commodity prices,
are matched against offsetting contracts as previously discussed.

Responsibility for managing market risk rests with the Asset / Liability
Committee that operates under policy guidelines established by the Board of
Directors. The acceptable negative variation in net interest revenue, net income
or economic value of equity 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 un-pledged
assets, among other things. Compliance with these guidelines is reviewed
monthly.

Interest Rate Risk - Other than Trading

As previously noted in the Net Interest Revenue section of this report,
management has implemented strategies to manage the Company's balance sheet to
be relatively neutral to changes in interest rates over a twelve month period.
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, net income and
economic value of equity. A simulation model is used to estimate the effect of
changes in interest rates over the next 12 and 24 months based on eight interest
rate scenarios. Two specified interest rate scenarios are used to evaluate
interest rate risk against policy guidelines. The first assumes a sustained
parallel 200 basis point increase and the second assumes a sustained parallel
100 basis point decrease in interest rates. Management historically evaluated
interest rate sensitivity for a sustained 200 basis point decrease in interest
rates. However, the results of a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates in
the current low-rate environment are not meaningful. The Company also performs a
sensitivity analysis based on a "most likely" interest rate scenario, which
includes non-parallel shifts in interest rates. An independent source is used to
determine the most likely interest rate scenario.

The Company's 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 variable-rate loan pricing. Additionally, mortgage
rates directly affect the prepayment speeds for mortgage-backed securities and
mortgage 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 balances on indeterminable maturity deposits based
on a combination 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 33 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 - Consumer Banking section of this report.

The simulations used to manage market risk are based on numerous assumptions
regarding the effects of changes in interest rates on the timing and extent of
re-pricing characteristics, future cash flows and customer behavior. These
assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot
precisely estimate net interest revenue, net income or economic value of equity
or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net
interest revenue, net income or economic value of equity. 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 intermediary for
customers and for its own account. As an intermediary, 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 profits. 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.

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. It represents an amount of market loss that is likely to
be exceeded 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 $3.6 million. At December 31, 2008, the VAR was $1.6 million.
The greatest value at risk during 2008 was $2.7 million. The value at risk
guideline was exceeded with appropriate approvals by management to take
advantage of wide yields available on certain securities during the year.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Management on Financial Statements

Management of BOK Financial is responsible for the preparation, 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 estimates 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, 2008. 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 consolidated financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. In establishing internal control over
financial reporting, management 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 control deficiencies and
oversees efforts to 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, 2008.

The Risk Oversight and Audit Committee, consisting entirely of independent
directors, meets regularly with management, internal auditors and the
independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, regarding
management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting.


Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate 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), as amended. 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
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2008.

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 the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Their report,
which expresses unqualified opinions on the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, is included
in this annual report.

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, 2008 and 2007,  and the  related  consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three

responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility 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
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant  estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable 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, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December  31,  2008,  in  conformity  with U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements,  BOK Financial
Corporation  changed its method of accounting  for  uncertainty  in income taxes
recognized  as of January 1,  2007,  in  accordance  with  Financial  Accounting
Standards  Board  Interpretation  No. 48,  Accounting for  Uncertainty in Income

Report of 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 BOK  Financial  Corporation's  internal  control over  financial
reporting  as of December 31, 2008,  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  included  in  the  accompanying  Report  of
Management on Internal Control over Financial  Reporting.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on 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  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in all  material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing
and evaluating the design and operating  effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed  risk,  and  performing  such other  procedures 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 reasonable 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 financial 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, BOK Financial Corporation maintained,  in all material respects,
effective  internal  control over  financial  reporting as of December 31, 2008,
based on the COSO criteria.

We also have  audited,  in accordance  with the standards of the Public  Company
Accounting  Oversight Board (United States),  the consolidated balance sheets of
BOK  Financial  Corporation  as of December  31, 2008 and 2007,  and the related
consolidated  statements of earnings,  shareholders'  equity, and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 2008 of BOK  Financial
Corporation  and our report  dated  February 26, 2009  expressed an  unqualified
opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Significant Accounting Policies

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., Bank of Arizona,
N.A., Bank of Kansas City, N.A., and BOSC, Inc. All significant intercompany
transactions are eliminated in consolidation. During 2008, the Company revised
the presentation of certain deposit accounts. Previously, demand deposit
accounts were shown net of adjustments made to manage reserve requirements.
These adjustments were excluded from the current presentation to provide a more
meaningful presentation of the Company's deposit accounts. All prior periods
have been reclassified for a consistent presentation. The reclassification had
no effect on total deposits, interest expense, net interest revenue or net
interest margin.

The consolidated financial statements would also include the assets,
liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of operations of variable
interest entities ("VIEs") when BOK Financial is determined to be the primary
beneficiary. Variable interest entities 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 is not the primary beneficiary in any VIE that
would be significant to its operations.

Nature of Operations

BOK Financial, through its subsidiaries, provides a wide range of financial
services to commercial and industrial customers, other financial institutions
and consumers throughout Oklahoma; Northwest Arkansas; Dallas, Fort Worth and
Houston, Texas; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Denver, Colorado; Phoenix, Arizona; and
Kansas City, Missouri / Kansas. These services 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 statements requires
management to make estimates of future economic activities, including loan
collectibility, prepayments and cash flows from customer accounts. These
estimates are based upon current conditions and information available to
management. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

Acquisitions

Assets and liabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, are
recorded at present value based on current interest rates, appraised values or
fair values on the acquisition dates. Goodwill is recognized as the excess of
the purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. The Consolidated Statements of Earnings include the results of
operations from the dates of acquisition.

Intangible Assets

Intangible  assets,  which  generally  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 impairment annually or more
frequently if conditions indicate impairment. 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 projected over a seven-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. Assumptions used to determine the fair value
of the Company in the aggregate are based on observable inputs, such as the
market value of BOK Financial common stock. However, attribution of the overall
fair value to individual business units requires significant unobservable
inputs. In total, the fair value measurement for goodwill impairment evaluation
is based on Level 3 inputs as defined by FAS 157. There have been no changes in
the techniques used to value goodwill.

Core deposit intangible assets are amortized using accelerated methods over the
estimated lives of the acquired deposits. These assets generally have a weighted
average life of 5 years. Other intangible assets are amortized using accelerated
or straight-line methods, as appropriate, over the estimated benefit periods.
These periods range from 5 years to 20 years. The net book values of core
deposit intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when economic conditions
indicate impairment may exist.

 67

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 maturity) or available
for sale at the time of purchase based upon the intent of management, liquidity
and capital requirements, regulatory 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. 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 generally accepted accounting principles. Securities identified as
available 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, projected cash flows,
collateral values, credit enhancements and other relevant factors, 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 specific security
sold. Available for sale securities are separately identified as pledged to
creditors if the creditor has the right to sell or repledge the collateral.

Certain mortgage-backed securities, identified as mortgage trading securities,
have been designated as economic hedges of mortgage servicing rights. These
securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in
current period income. These securities are held with the intent that gains or
losses will offset changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights.

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 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 specific criteria exempting
them from the definition of derivative contracts.

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. All derivative
instruments are carried at fair value. The determination of fair value of
derivative instruments considers changes in interest rates, commodity prices,
foreign exchange rates and the Company's and counterparty credit ratings, when
appropriate. Changes in fair value are generally reported in income as they
occur.

Derivative instruments used to manage interest rate risk consist 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 reported in interest income or expense using the accrual
method. Changes in fair value of interest rate swaps are reported in other
operating revenue - gain (loss) on derivatives, net.

In certain circumstances, an interest rate swap may be designated as a fair
value hedge and may qualify for hedge accounting. In these circumstances,
changes in the full fair value of the hedged asset or liability, not only
changes in fair value due to changes in the benchmark interest rate, is also
recognized in earnings and may partially or completely offset changes in fair
value of the interest rate swap. A fair value hedge is considered effective if
the cumulative fair value adjustment of the interest rate swap is within a range
of 80% to 120% of the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged asset or
liability. Any ineffectiveness, including ineffectiveness due to credit risk or
ineffectiveness created when the fixed rate of the hedged asset or liability
does not match the fixed rate of the interest rate swap, is recognized in
earnings in the income statement line item "Gain (loss) on derivatives, net."

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 ineffective portion
of changes in fair value is reported in current earnings.

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 accumulated other comprehensive
income is reclassified to earnings in the same period as the hedged item.

 68

BOK Financial also enters into mortgage loan commitments that are considered
derivative instruments. Forward sales contracts 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 contracts are reported in
other operating revenue - mortgage banking revenue.

Derivative contracts are also offered to customers. BOK Financial serves as an
intermediary between its customers and the markets. Each contract between BOK
Financial and its customers is offset by a contract 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.

When bilateral netting agreements exist between the Company and its
counterparties that create a single legal claim or obligation to pay or receive
the net amount in settlement of the individual derivative contracts, the Company
reports derivative assets and liabilities on a net by counterparty basis.

Derivative contracts may also require the Company to provide or receive cash
margin as collateral for derivative assets and liabilities. Derivative assets
and liabilities are reported net of cash margin when certain conditions are met.

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 collateral, 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 principal 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 principal 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 collectability of principal.

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

Mortgage loans originated by our mortgage banking unit are held for sale and are
carried at the lower of aggregate 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 -
mortgage banking 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 portfolio, and include 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, the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral
dependent loans, or historical statistics. 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 determine when a loan should be placed
on nonaccrual status. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires
material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible 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 adequacy of the reserve
for loan losses applicable to these loans is evaluated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and standards established by the
banking regulatory authorities 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

 69

loans  that are past due by 180 days or more are  charged  off  within  30 days.
Recoveries of loans previously charged off are added to the reserve.

Transfers of Financial Assets

BOK Financial transfers financial assets as part of its mortgage banking
activities and periodically may transfer other financial assets. Transfers 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 may incur a recourse obligation. The Company may also
retain a residual interest in excess cash flows generated by the assets. All
assets obtained, including cash, servicing rights and residual interests, and
all liabilities incurred, including recourse obligations, are initially
recognized at fair value, all assets transferred are derecognized and any gain
or loss on the sale is recognized in earnings. Subsequently, servicing rights,
residual interest and recourse obligations are carried at fair value with
changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur. A separate reserve
is maintained as part of other liabilities for the Company's credit risk on
loans transferred subject to a recourse obligation.

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 foreclosure, 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 capitalized 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. Useful lives range from 5 years
to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 3 years to 7 years for software and
3 years to 10 years for furniture and equipment. Repair and maintenance costs
are charged to expense as incurred.

Rent expense for leased premises is recognized as incurred over the lease term.
The effects of rent holidays, significant rent escalations and other adjustments
to rent payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value as permitted by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets" ("FAS 156"). Mortgage servicing rights may be purchased or may be
recognized when mortgage loans are originated pursuant to an existing plan for
sale or, if no such plan exists, when the mortgage loans are sold. Originated
mortgage servicing rights are initially recognized at fair value. Fair value is
based on market quotes for similar servicing rights, which is a Level 2 input as
defined by FAS 157. Changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings as they
occur.

There is no active market for trading in mortgage servicing rights after
origination. A cash flow model is used 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. Assumptions used to value
mortgage servicing rights are considered Level 3 inputs as defined by FAS 157. 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 and adjusted to better correlate with actual
performance of BOK Financial's servicing portfolio. At least annually, we
request estimates of fair value from outside sources to corroborate the results
of the valuation model. There have been no changes in the techniques used to
value mortgage servicing rights.

Federal and State Income Taxes

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.

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 income tax expense recognized in any period may differ from amounts reported
to taxing authorities.

BOK Financial has a reserve for uncertain tax positions, which is included in
accrued current income taxes payable, for the uncertain portion of recorded tax
benefits and related interest. These uncertainties result from the application
of complex tax laws, rules, regulations and interpretations, primarily in state
taxing jurisdictions. The adequacy of this reserve is assessed quarterly and may
be adjusted through current income tax expense in future periods based on
changing facts and circumstances, completion of examinations by taxing
authorities or expiration of a statute of limitations. Estimated penalties and
interest on uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense.

 70

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference
between the values of the assets and liabilities as reflected in the financial
statements and their related tax basis using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As
changes in tax law or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is
provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Employee Benefit Plans

BOK Financial sponsors a defined benefit cash balance pension plan ("Pension
Plan"), qualified profit sharing plan ("Thrift Plan") and employee healthcare
plans. Pension Plan costs, which are based upon actuarial computations of
current costs, are expensed annually. Unrecognized prior service cost and net
gains or losses are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the
average remaining service periods of the participants or 10 years. Employer
contributions to the Pension Plan are in accordance with Federal income tax
regulations. Pension Plan benefits were curtailed as of April 1, 2006. No
participants may be added to the Pension Plan and no additional service benefits
will be accrued.

BOK Financial recognizes the funded status of its employee benefit plans. For a
pension plan, the funded status is the difference between the fair value of plan
assets and the projected benefit obligation measured as of the fiscal year-end
date. Adjustments required to recognize the Pension Plan's net funded status are
made through accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred income
taxes.

Employer contributions to the Thrift Plan, which matches employee contributions
subject to percentage and years of service limits, are expensed when incurred.
BOK Financial recognizes the expense of health care benefits on the accrual
method.

Stock Compensation Plans

BOK Financial adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R,
"Share-Based Payments" ("FAS 123R") as of January 1, 2006. Adoption of FAS 123R
did not significantly affect the Company's financial statements. Excess tax
benefits from share-based payments recognized in capital surplus are determined
by the excess of tax benefits recognized over the tax effect of compensation
cost recognized.

Grant date fair value of stock options is based on the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. Stock options generally have graded vesting over 7 years. Each
tranche is considered a separate award for valuation and compensation cost
recognition. Grant date fair value of non-vested shares is based on the current
market value of BOK Financial common stock. Non-vested shares generally cliff
vest in 5 years.

Compensation cost is recognized as expense over the service period, which is
generally the vesting period of the options to be exercised. Expense is reduced
for estimated forfeitures over the vesting period and adjusted for actual
forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation awarded to certain officers
has performance conditions that affect the number of awards granted.
Compensation cost is adjusted based on the probable outcome of the performance
conditions.

Certain executive officers may defer the recognition of income from stock-based
compensation for income tax purposes and to diversify the deferred income into
alternative investments. Stock-based compensation granted to these officers is
considered liability awards. Changes in the fair value of liability awards are
recognized as compensation expense in the period of the change.

Other Operating Revenue

Fees and commission revenue is recognized at the time the related services are
provided or products are sold and may be accrued when necessary. Accrued fees
and commissions are reversed against revenue if amounts are subsequently deemed
to be uncollectible. As described in FASB EITF Issue 99-19, Reporting Revenue
Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, revenue is recognized on a gross
basis whenever we have primary responsibility and risk in providing the services
or products to our customers and on a net basis whenever we act as a broker for
products or services of others.

Brokerage and trading revenue includes changes in the fair value of securities
held for trading purposes and derivatives held for customer risk management
programs, including credit losses on trading securities and derivatives,
commissions earned from the retail sale of securities, mutual funds and other
financial instruments, and underwriting and financial advisory fees.

Trust fees and commissions include revenue from asset management, custody,
recordkeeping, investment advisory and administration services. Revenue is
recognized on an accrual basis at the time the services are performed and may be
based on either the fair value of the account or the service provided.

Deposit service charges and fees are recognized at least quarterly in accordance
with our published deposit account agreement and disclosure statement for retail
accounts or contractual agreement for commercial accounts. Item charges for
overdraft or non-sufficient funds items are recognized as items are presented
for payment. Account balance charges and activity fees are accrued monthly and
collected in arrears. Commercial account activity fees may be offset by an
earnings credit based on account balances.

Effect of Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards


Financial Accounting Standards Board

Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" ("FAS 159")

The Company adopted FAS 159, effective January 1, 2008. FAS 159 provides an
option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value. Certain certificates of deposit that were either currently designated as
hedged or had previously been designated as hedged, but no longer met the
correlation requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133"), were
designated as being reported at fair value. Adoption of FAS 159 increased
opening retained earnings for the first quarter of 2008 by $62 thousand.
Interest expense on certificates of deposit carried at fair value is based on
the instruments' contractual interest rates and outstanding principal balances.

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  141  (Revised),  "Business
Combinations" ("FAS 141R")

The FASB issued FAS 141R during 2007 to replace Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. FAS 141R applies to all
transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control over one or more
businesses, including combinations achieved without the transfer of
consideration. FAS 141R retains the fundamental requirement that all business
combinations must be accounted for under the acquisition or purchase method of
accounting. All assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets,
liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests must be recognized at the
acquisition-date fair values. Banks may no longer carry over the pre-acquisition
allowance for loan losses. Costs incurred to effect the acquisition and
restructuring costs that the acquirer is expected but not obligated to incur
must be recognized separately from the business combination. Contingent assets
and liabilities generally will be recognized at their acquisition-date fair
values. Changes in the recognized amounts of contingent assets and liabilities
will be recognized in post acquisition-date earnings. FAS 141R may have a
significant effect on the Company's financial statements for business
combinations completed after January 1, 2009.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160,"Non-controlling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51" ("FAS 160")

The FASB issued FAS 160 during 2007 to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. FAS 160 clarifies that a non-controlling
interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest,
is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a
component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other
requirements, FAS 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts
that included the amounts attributable to both the parent and the
non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the
consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. FAS 160, which
will be adopted on January 1, 2009, is not expected to have a significant impact
on the Company's financial statements.

Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  161,  "Disclosure  About
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,  an Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133," ("FAS 161")

FAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FAS 133 to provide
greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are
accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, FAS
161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using
derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and
losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related
contingent features in derivative agreements. FAS 161 is effective for the
Company on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to have a significant impact on
the Company's financial statements.

FASB Staff Position FIN 39-1,  "Amendment of FASB  Interpretation  No.  39"("FIN
39-1")

As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position FIN 39-1, which
permits offsetting of cash collateral against the fair value of derivative
instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting
agreement. The total amount of derivative assets and liabilities as of December
31, 2008 was reduced by $217 million and $15 million, respectively, of cash
collateral.

 72

FASB Staff Position No. EITF 99-20-1,  "Amendment to the Impairment and Interest
Income Measurement Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20" ("FSP EITF 99-20-1")

FSP EITF 99-20-1 amends the impairment (and related interest income measurement)
guidance for certain beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that
are within the scope of EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest Income
and Impairment of Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That
Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets" ("EITF
99-20"). This FSP eliminates the requirement that a holder's best estimate of
cash flows be based upon those that "a market participant" would use. Instead,
this FSP requires that an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") be recognized
as a realized loss through earnings when it is "probable" there has been an
adverse change in the holder's estimated cash flows from the cash flows
previously projected, which is consistent with the impairment model in Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS 115"). The FSP also reiterates and
emphasizes the objective of an OTTI assessment and the related disclosure
requirements in FAS 115 and other related guidance, including the requirement
that the holder consider all available information when developing the estimate
of future cash flows (i.e. past events, current conditions and expected events).
FSP 99-20-1 is effective for the Company as of December 31, 2008 and did not
have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

(2) Acquisitions

On June 18, 2007, BOK Financial paid $43 million in cash for all the outstanding
stock of Colorado-based United Banks of Colorado, Inc. United Banks had total
assets of approximately $166 million, including loans of $94 million, and total
deposits of $133 million and eleven banking locations in the Denver area. Loans
acquired from United Banks are subject to a guaranty by the sellers through an
escrow fund held in trust by Colorado State Bank and Trust. The Company will be
reimbursed for up to $8.0 million of losses, including principal, interest and
collection costs, on acquired loans in a three-year period after the acquisition
date. Accordingly, none of the purchase price was allocated to an allowance for
loan losses. At December 31, 2008, $5.3 million remains in the escrow fund to
absorb future credit losses. On September 21, 2007, operations of United Banks'
subsidiary, First United Bank, N.A. were combined with Colorado State Bank and
Trust, N.A. through a purchase and assumption agreement.

On May 31, 2007, BOK Financial paid $127 million in cash for all the outstanding
stock of Texas-based Worth Bancorporation, Inc. Worth had total assets of
approximately $410 million, including net loans of $281 million, and total
deposits of $369 million and five branches in the Fort Worth market. None of
Worth National Bank's loans were impaired at the acquisition date. Therefore,
none of the allowance for loan losses was allocated as a reduction of the
principal balance of the acquired loans.

Allocations of the purchase prices to net assets acquired are as follows (in
thousands):

Core deposit premiums are identifiable intangible assets initially recognized at
estimated fair value. Fair value is determined by projecting future cash flows
that may be earned from investing the proceeds of the acquired deposits, less
interest, servicing and other costs over the estimated lives of the acquired
deposits. The projected net cash flow is discounted to determine the current
fair value. The fair value measurement of core deposit premiums is based on
Level 3 inputs as defined by FAS 157.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company paid approximately $425 thousand
to acquire a charter for Bank of Kansas City in order to begin full-service
banking operations in Missouri. Previously, the Company's full-service banking
rights were restricted to Kansas City, Kansas.

On November 6, 2006, BOK Financial paid a net amount of $365 thousand in cash to
acquire a state banking charter. The acquired state banking charter was
subsequently converted to a national banking charter and the surviving entity
renamed Bank of Kansas City, N.A. This transaction was necessary to comply with
state restrictions on forming a de novo bank in Kansas.

The results of operations of these acquisitions would not have been significant
to the Company's consolidated results during the pre-acquisition periods of 2007
and 2006. None of the intangible assets acquired are deductible for tax
purposes.

Gross unrealized losses excludes other-than-temporary charges of $5.3 million in
2008 and $8.6 million in 2007.

Mortgage trading securities are mortgage-backed securities that have been
designated as an economic hedge of the mortgage servicing rights and are
separately identified on the balance sheet. These securities are carried at fair
value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as they occur. As of
December 31, 2008, mortgage trading securities are carried at their $399 million
fair value and had a net unrealized gain of $12.6 million.

In addition to securities that have been reclassified as pledged to creditors,
securities with an amortized cost of $5.0 billion and $4.1 billion at December
31, 2008 and 2007, 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 not recognized as an other-than-temporary
impairment totaled $328 million at December 31, 2008 compared with net
unrealized losses of $37 million at December 31, 2007. The aggregate gross
amount of unrealized losses at December 31, 2008 totaled $419 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, support for debt securities provided by
government guarantees or credit enhancements, ratings of the respective issuers
and other factors to assess the prospects for recovery over various interest
rate scenarios and time periods. We also considered our intent and ability to
either hold or sell the securities. It is our belief, based on currently
available information and our evaluation, that the unrealized losses in these
securities were temporary.

The Company's portfolio of available for sale securities includes preferred
stocks issued by seven financial institutions. These stocks were originally
purchased for $46 million and have a current carrying value of $32 million. The
carrying value of these stocks has been reduced by $14 million of
other-than-temporary impairment charges, approximately $5 million and $9 million
in 2008 and 2007, respectively. None of the institutions that issued these
stocks are in default. BOK Financial does not own any equity securities issued
by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. These preferred stocks have certain debt-like
features such as a quarterly dividends based on LIBOR. However, the issuers of
these stocks have no obligation to redeem them. The aggregate fair value of
these preferred stocks decreased to $22 million at December 31, 2008 due to a
significant widening of spreads to LIBOR related to current market disruptions.
We assessed the probability that spreads over LIBOR on these securities will
narrow and fair values will increase over a 24-month to 36-month period
beginning on the most recent date that fair value equaled our carrying value,
June 30, 2008, and concluded that the impairment was temporary at December 31,
2008.

FSP EITF 99-20-1 became effective for the Company as of December 31, 2008 and
requires that an other-than-temporary impairment be recognized as a realized
loss through earnings when it is "probable" there has been an adverse change in
the holder's estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously projected. It
also emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment,
including the requirement that the holder consider all available information
when developing the estimate of future cash flows (i.e. past events, current
conditions and expected events). FSP EITF 99-20-1 did not have a significant
impact on the Company's financial statements.

Customer Risk Management Programs

BOK Financial offers programs that permit its customers to manage various risks,
including fluctuations in energy, cattle and other agricultural products prices,
interest rates and foreign exchange rates, or to take positions in derivative
contracts. 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.

Credit risk is considered in determining the fair value of derivative
instruments. Deterioration in the credit rating of customers or dealers reduces
the fair value of asset contracts. The reduction in fair value is recognized in
earnings during the current period. Deterioration in our credit rating below
investment grade would affect the fair value of our derivative liabilities. In
the event of a credit down-grade, the fair value of our derivative liabilities
would decrease. The reduction in fair value would be recognized in earnings in
the current period.

As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FSP FIN 39-1, which permits
offsetting of cash collateral against the fair value of derivative instruments
executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. The total
amount of derivative assets and liabilities at December 31, 2008 were reduced by
$217 million and $15 million, respectively, of cash collateral.

Interest Rate Risk Management Programs

BOK Financial uses interest rate swaps in managing its interest rate
sensitivity. Interest rate swaps are generally used to reduce overall asset
sensitivity by converting specific fixed rate liabilities to floating rate based
on LIBOR.

The following table details interest rate swaps and, when applicable, the
associated fair value of liabilities at December 31, 2008 (dollars in
thousands):

(1) Floating rates are based on 30-day LIBOR, unless otherwise noted.
(2) Fair value of certificates of deposit are based upon brokered certificate of
    deposit market rates or Federal Home Loan Bank rates for advances with
    similar maturities.

During 2008 and 2007, net interest revenue was decreased by $7.0 million and
$6.8 million, respectively, from the settlement of amounts receivable or payable
on interest rate swaps.

As of January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FAS 159, which provides an
option to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value. Certain certificates of deposit that were either currently designated as
hedged or had previously

 79

been  designated as hedged,  but no longer met the  correlation  requirements of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 133 were  designated as being
reported  at fair value when FAS 159 was first  adopted.  In  addition,  certain
certificates  of deposit issued  subsequent to the adoption of FAS 159 have been
designated  as  reported  at fair  value.  This  determination  is made when the
certificates  of deposit are issued  based on the  Company's  intent to swap the
interest rate on the  certificates  from a fixed rate to a LIBOR-based  variable
rate.  The fair value of these  fixed-rate  certificates  of  deposit  generally
increases when interest rates fall.  Interest on these  certificates  of deposit
based on  contractual  interest  rates and  outstanding  principal  balances  is
included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.  Changes
in the fair value of  liabilities  carried at fair value  which is  included  in
derivatives  gains  (losses),  net on the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Earnings
decreased  net  income by $10.2  million  in 2008.  Changes in the fair value of
interest rate swaps, which is included in derivatives gains (losses), net on the
Consolidated  Statement  of Earnings  increased  net income by $11.6  million in
2008.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Approximately 43% of the commercial and consumer loan portfolios and
approximately 68% of the residential mortgage loan portfolio (excluding loans
held for sale) are loans to businesses and individuals in Oklahoma. This
geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic
conditions within this area.

Within the commercial loan classification, loans to energy-related businesses
totaled $2.3 billion or 18% of total loans as of December 31, 2008. Other
notable segments include services, $2.0 billion; wholesale/retail, $1.2 billion;
healthcare, $777 million; manufacturing, $498 million; and agriculture, $198
million, which includes $134 million of loans to the cattle industry. The
services category consists almost entirely of loans with individual balances of
less than $10 million.

Approximately 25% of commercial real estate loans are secured by properties
located in Oklahoma, primarily in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City metropolitan
areas. An additional 28% of commercial real estate loans are secured by property
located in Texas, primarily in the Dallas and Houston areas. The major
components of these properties are multifamily residences, $317 million;
construction and land development, $926 million; retail facilities, $371
million; and office buildings, $459 million.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, residential mortgage loans included $12.8 million
and $9.9 million, respectively, and consumer loans included $254 thousand and
$515 thousand, respectively, of loans with repayment terms that have been
modified from the original contracts.

Credit Commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer 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, 2008, outstanding commitments totaled
$5.0 billion. Because some commitments are expected to expire before being drawn
upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily 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 credit is essentially the same as that involved in
extending loan commitments, BOK Financial uses the same credit policies in
evaluating 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 commitment and typically corresponds with the
underlying loan commitment. At December 31, 2008, outstanding standby letters of
credit totaled $599 million. Commercial letters of credit are used to facilitate
customer trade transactions with the drafts being drawn when the underlying
transaction is consummated. At December 31, 2008, outstanding commercial letters
of credit totaled $18 million.

The Company also has off-balance sheet credit risk for residential loans sold
with full or partial recourse. These loans consist of first lien, fixed rate
residential mortgage loans originated under various community development
programs and sold to U.S. government agencies. These loans were underwritten to
standards approved by the agencies, including full documentation. However, these
loans have a higher risk of delinquency and losses given default than
traditional residential mortgage loans. A separate recourse reserve is
maintained for this off-balance sheet credit risk. At December 31, 2008, the
principal balance of loans sold subject to recourse obligations totaled $391
million and the reserve for credit risk from these loans totaled $8.8 million.
Losses incurred during 2008 and 2007 totaled $8.6 million and $1.1 million,
respectively.

existed for any identifiable intangible assets and therefore no impairment
evaluation was performed.

(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 $129 million
and $77 million, and outstanding mortgage loan commitments totaled $241 million
and $53 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 collateral requirements, which are generally
accepted by the secondary loan markets. Exposure to interest rate fluctuations
is partially managed through forward sales of mortgage-backed securities and
forward sales contracts. These latter contracts set the price for loans that
will be delivered in the next 60 to 90 days. As of December 31, 2008, the
unrealized loss on forward sales contracts used to manage the mortgage pipeline
interest rate risk was approximately $2.1 million. Gains on mortgage loans sold,
including capitalized mortgage servicing rights, totaled $9.5 million in 2008,
$5.2 million in 2007 and $10.5 million in 2006.

At December 31, 2008, BOK Financial owned the rights to service 58,023 mortgage
loans with outstanding principal balances of $6.0 billion, including $793
million serviced for affiliates, and held related funds of $65 million for
investors and borrowers. The weighted average interest rate and remaining term
was 6.15% and 284 months, respectively. Mortgage loans sold with recourse
totaled $391 million at December 31, 2008, and $13.2 million of loans sold with
recourse were 90 days or more delinquent. At December 31, 2007, BOK Financial
owned the rights to service 58,227 mortgage loans with outstanding principal
balances of $5.5 billion, including $614 million serviced for affiliates, and
held related funds of $63 million for investors and borrowers. The weighted
average interest rate and remaining term was 6.18% and 280 months, respectively.
Mortgage loans sold with recourse totaled $393 million at December 31, 2007, and
$3.7 million of loans sold with recourse were 90 days or more delinquent.
Servicing revenue and late charges on loans serviced for others, which are
included in mortgage banking revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings
totaled $17.6 million for 2008, $17.1 million for 2007 and $16.5 million for
2006.

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

BOK Financial implemented FAS 156 in the first quarter of 2006. An initial
adjustment of the mortgage servicing rights to fair value of approximately $351
thousand, net of income taxes, was recognized as an increase to retained
earnings in the same period. Also upon implementation of FAS 156, certain
securities designated as an economic hedge of mortgage servicing rights were
transferred from the available for sale classification to trading. Approximately
$32 thousand was transferred from accumulated other comprehensive income to
retained earnings for the net of tax effect of this reclassification.

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, 2008 was 9.26%.

Prepayment rate - Annual  prepayment  estimates  ranging  from 8.3% to 38% based
     upon loan interest rate, original term and loan type.

Loan servicing costs - $43 to $73 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, 2008 was
     2.08%.

The effect of a 50 basis point decrease in mortgage interest rates on all
significant assumptions is expected to decrease the fair value of mortgage
servicing rights by $11 million.

(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 mortgage-backed securities, 1-4 family loans and multifamily loans)
as collateral for these advances. The Federal Home Loan Bank has issued letters
of credit totaling $394 million to secure BOK Financial's obligations to
depositors of public funds. The unused credit available to BOK Financial at
December 31, 2008 pursuant to the Federal Home Loan Bank's collateral policies
is $2.3 billion.

The Company elected to participate in the TLGP, which expanded insurance
coverage to certain qualifying debt issued by eligible financial institutions.
In general, senior unsecured debt newly issued on or before June 30, 2009 will
be fully protected by the FDIC through the earlier of the maturity of the debt
or June 30, 2012. Collectively, our subsidiary banks may issue up to $1.8
billion of TLGP protected debt. No TLGP protected debt is currently outstanding.

In 2008, the subsidiary banks began borrowing funds under the Federal Reserve
Bank Term Auction Facility program. This is a temporary program which allows
banks that are in generally sound financial condition to bid for funds. Funds
are borrowed for

 86

either 28 or 84 days and are secured by a pledge of eligible  collateral.  Funds
borrowed under this program totaled $450 million at December 31, 2008.

On July 21, 2008, the Company entered into a $188 million, unsecured revolving
credit agreement with George B. Kaiser, its Chairman and principal shareholder.
Interest on the outstanding balance is based on one-month LIBOR plus 125 basis
points and is payable quarterly. Additional interest in the form of a facility
fee is paid quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment at 25 basis
points. This agreement has no restrictive covenants and matures in December of
2010. At December 31, 2008, the outstanding balance under this credit agreement
was $50 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, the Company fully repaid the
amounts owed under this credit agreement.

As of December 31, 2007, BOK Financial had a $188 million unsecured revolving
line of credit with certain commercial banks with an outstanding principal
balance of $50 million. In 2008, that balance was repaid and the agreement was
terminated at the Company's request.

In 2007, Bank of Oklahoma issued $250 million of subordinated debt due May 15,
2017. Interest on this debt is based upon a fixed rate of 5.75% through May 14,
2012 and on a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 0.69% thereafter. The
proceeds of this debt were used to fund the Worth National Bank and First United
Bank acquisitions and to fund continued asset growth.

In 2005, BOk issued $150 million of 10-year, fixed rate subordinated debt. The
cost of this subordinated debt, including issuance discounts and hedge loss is
5.56%. The proceeds of this debt were used to repay $95 million of BOK
Financial's unsecured revolving line of credit and to provide additional capital
to support asset growth. During 2006, a $150 million notional amount interest
rate swap was designated as a hedge of changes in fair value of the subordinated
debt due to changes in interest rates. The Company received a fixed rate of
5.257% and paid a variable rate based on 1-month LIBOR. This fair value hedging
relationship was discontinued and the interest rate swap was terminated in April
2007.

December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2004, BOK Financial reduced its tax accrual
by $2.2 million and $2.4 million in 2006 and 2008, respectively, which was
credited against current income tax expense.

BOK Financial adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"), on January 1, 2007. As a result of
the implementation of FIN 48, BOK Financial recognized a $609 thousand increase
in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a
reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits
is as follows (in thousands):

                                        2008      2007

  Balance as of December 31, 2008    $ 13,200  $ 13,200
 ---------------------------------------------------------

Any of the above unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the
effective tax rate.

BOK Financial recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized
tax benefits in income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in
interest and penalties. The Company had approximately $3.0 million and $2.3
million for the payment of interest and penalties accrued as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Federal statutes remain open for federal tax
returns filed in the previous three reporting periods. Various state income tax
statutes remain open for the previous three to six reporting periods.

One of our acquired entities is currently under examination by the Internal
Revenue Service ("IRS") for the year ending May 31, 2007 and the related
carryback period. Refunds claimed in the carryback period total $3.5 million.
The ultimate resolution is unlikely to have a material impact on the financial
statements. Also during 2008, the IRS exam for the year ended December 31, 2005
for the same acquired entity was closed with no adjustments.

(12) Employee Benefits

BOK Financial sponsors a defined benefit cash balance Pension Plan for all
employees who satisfy certain age and service requirements. Pension Plan
benefits were curtailed as of April 1, 2006. No participants may be added to the
plan and no additional service benefits will be accrued. Interest will continue
to accrue on employees' account balances at 5.25%.

The following table presents information regarding this plan (dollars in
thousands):

Assets of the Pension Plan consist primarily of shares in the Cavanal Hill
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 net asset
value of shares in the Cavanal Hill Funds is reported daily based on market
quotations for the Fund's securities. If market quotations are not readily
available, the securities' fair values are determined by the Fund's pricing
committee. The inception-to-date return on the fund, which is used as an
indicator when setting the expected return on plan assets, was 5.39%. As of
December 31, 2008, the expected return on plan assets for 2009 is 5.25% The
maximum allowed and minimum required Pension Plan contributions for 2008 were
$6.6 million and $0, respectively. No contributions were made for 2007 or 2008.
We expect approximately $2.0 million of net pension costs currently in
accumulated other comprehensive income to be recognized as net periodic pension
cost in 2009.

Employee contributions to the Thrift Plan eligible for Company matching equal 6%
of base compensation, as defined in the plan. The Company-provided matching
contribution rates range from 50% for employees with less than four years of
service to 200% for employees with 15 or more years of service. Additionally, a
maximum Company-provided, non-elective annual contribution of $750 is made for
employees whose annual base compensation is less than $40,000.

Participants may direct investments in their accounts to a variety of options,
including a BOK Financial common stock fund. Employer contributions, which are
invested in accordance with the participant's investment options, vest over five
years. Thrift Plan expenses were $12.1 million, $11.6 million and $9.1 million
for 2008, 2007 and 2006, 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. The post-retirement
medical plan is limited to current retirees and certain employees 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 million at December 31, 2008. A 1% change in
medical expense trends would not significantly affect the net obligation or cost
of this plan.

BOK Financial offers numerous incentive compensation plans that are aligned with
the Company's growth strategy. Compensation awarded under these plans may be
based on defined formulas, other performance criteria or discretionary.
Incentive compensation is designed to motivate and reinforce sales and customer
service behavior in all markets. Earnings were charged $83.2 million in 2008,
$71.4 million in 2007 and $65.2 million in 2006 for incentive compensation
plans.

(13) Stock Compensation Plans

The shareholders and Board of Directors of BOK Financial have approved various
stock-based compensation plans. An independent compensation committee of the
Board of Directors determines the number of awards granted to the Chief
Executive Officer and other senior executives. Stock-based compensation is
granted to other officers and employees and is approved by the independent
compensation committee upon recommendation 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. Non-vested shares may
be granted to the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives of the
Company. These shares vest five years after the grant date. The holders of these
shares may be required to retain the shares for a three-year period after
vesting.

The Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives participate in an
Executive Incentive Plan. The number of options and non-vested shares may
increase or decrease based upon the Company's growth in earnings per share over
a three-year period compared to the median growth in earnings per share for a
designated peer group of financial institutions and other individual performance
factors.

The following table presents options outstanding during 2006, 2007 and 2008

Compensation expense for stock options is generally recognized based on the fair
value of options granted over the options' vesting period. 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:

                                  2008       2007        2006
                                ---------- ---------- -----------

Average risk-free interest rate  3.50%      4.68%      4.42%
Dividend yield                   1.70%      1.10%      0.90%
Volatility factors                .147       .143       .161
Weighted average expected life  4.9 years  4.9 years  4.9 years
Weighted average fair value       $7.09      $9.91      $9.56

Compensation cost of stock options granted that may be recognized as
compensation expense in future years totaled $11.0 million at December 31, 2008.
Subject to adjustments for forfeitures, we expect to recognize compensation
expense for current outstanding options of $4.6 million in 2009, $3.0 million in
2010, $1.7 million in 2011, $970 thousand in 2012, $490 thousand in 2013 and
$170 thousand thereafter. Stock option expense for the years ended December 31,
2008, 2007 and 2006 was $7.8 million, $6.3 million and $6.4 million,
respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $11.8 million, $14.9 million and $16.6
million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as
of December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $19.2 million and $27.2 million, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable as of December 31, 2008 and
2007 was $656 thousand and $15.1 million, respectively.

BOK Financial also issues non-vested common shares under the various stock-based
compensation plans. At December 31, 2008, a total of 137,958 non-vested common
shares have been awarded, including 56,853 awarded in 2008. The weighted average
grant date fair value of non-vested shares awarded in 2008 was $47.62 per share.
Unrecognized compensation cost of non-vested shares totaled $3.4 million at
December 31, 2008. Subject to adjustment for forfeitures, we expect to recognize
compensation expense of $1.1 million in 2009, $950 thousand in 2010, $750
thousand in 2011, $520 thousand in 2012 and $50 thousand in 2013.

BOK Financial permits certain executive officers to defer recognition of taxable
income from their stock-based compensation. Deferred compensation may also be
diversified into investments other than BOK Financial common stock.

Stock-based compensation subject to these deferral plans is recognized as a
liability award rather than as an equity award. Compensation expense is based on
the fair value of the award recognized over the vesting period. At December 31,
2008, the recorded obligation for liability awards was $1.2 million.
Compensation cost of liability awards was a benefit of $471 thousand in 2008,
expense of $506 thousand in 2007 and expense of $4.7 million in 2006.

During January 2009, BOK Financial awarded the following stock-based

                             ----------
  Total stock-based awards    919,380
  -------------------------- ---------- --------- ------------

The aggregate compensation cost of these awards totaled approximately $9.3
million. This cost will be recognized over the vesting periods, subject to
adjustments for forfeitures. None of the stock-based compensation awards in
January 2009 are subject to deferred compensation plans.


(14) Related Parties

In compliance with applicable regulations, the Company may extend credit to
certain executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and their
affiliates (collectively referred to as "related parties") in the ordinary
course of business under substantially the same terms as comparable third-party
lending arrangements. The Company's loans to related parties do not involve more
than the normal credit risk and there are no non-accrual or impaired related
party loans outstanding at December 31, 2008 or 2007.  Activity in loans to
related parties is summarized as follows (in thousands):

(1)Adjustments generally consist of changes in status as a related party. In
   2008, adjustments include $48 million of loans to SemGroup, L.P., which
   ceased to be a related party upon resignation of Thomas L. Kivisto, its
   principal owner, from the Company's Board of Directors. These loans remain
   outstanding and are non-performing.

(2)In 2008, the Company charged off $26 million of the balance due from
   SemGroup, L.P.

Certain related parties are customers of the Company for services other than
loans, including consumer banking, corporate banking, risk management, wealth
management, brokerage and trading, or fiduciary/trust services. The Company
engages in transactions with related parties in the ordinary course of business
in compliance with applicable regulations.

On July 21, 2008, the Company entered into a $188 million, unsecured revolving
credit agreement with George B. Kaiser, its Chairman and principal shareholder.
The revolving credit agreement with Mr. Kaiser replaced a similar credit
agreement with certain commercial banks that was terminated at the Company's
request. The Company was in compliance with all terms of that credit agreement
when it was terminated. Interest on the outstanding balance due to Mr. Kaiser is
based on one-month LIBOR plus 125 basis points and is payable quarterly.
Additional interest in the form of a facility fee is paid quarterly on the
unused portion of the commitment at 25 basis points. This agreement has no
restrictive covenants and matures in December of 2010. At December 31, 2008, the
outstanding balance under this credit agreement was $50 million. Subsequent to
December 31, 2008, the Company fully repaid the amounts owed under this credit
agreement.

The Company also rents office space in facilities owned by affiliates of Mr.
Kaiser. Lease payments for 2008 totaled $1.1 million.

In 2008, the Company entered into a $25 million loan commitment with the Tulsa
Community Foundation ("TCF") to be secured by tax-exempt bonds purchased from
the Tulsa Stadium Trust (the "Stadium Trust") by TCF. The Stadium Trust is an
Oklahoma public trust, of which the City of Tulsa is the sole beneficiary.
Stanley A. Lybarger, President and CEO of the Company, is Chairman of the
Stadium Trust.

(15) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In September 2006, BISYS settled the SEC's two-year investigation of BISYS Fund
Services Ohio, Inc. ("BISYS") marketing assistance agreements with 27 different
families of mutual funds, including a BISYS marketing arrangement with AXIA,
which had been terminated effective January 1, 2004. In the SEC settlement,
BISYS consented to an order in which the SEC determined that BISYS had
"willfully aided and abetted and caused" the 27 investment advisors to (i)
violate provisions of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 that prohibit
fraudulent conduct; (ii) violate provisions of the 1940 Act that prohibit the
making of any untrue statement of a material fact in a registration statement
filed by the mutual fund with the SEC, and (iii) violate provisions of the 1940
Act that require the disclosure and inclusion of all distribution arrangements
and expenses in the fund's 12b-1 fee plan ("the SEC BYSIS Order"). AXIA was one
of the 27 advisors and the AP Funds one of the 27 mutual fund families to which
the SEC referred in its BISYS Order. On October 10, 2006, the Examinations
Division of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") conducted an
examination of AXIA. The examination was concluded in July 2007 with no action
taken by the Examinations Division. In August 2007, AXIA settled all claims
relating to the BISYS marketing arrangements with the AP Funds for $2.2 million
and the AP Funds regard the matter as fully concluded. The settlement with the
AP Funds is not binding on the SEC.

On April 7, 2008, AXIA and its parent, BOK, received a Wells notice from the
regional office of the SEC in Los Angeles indicating that the staff is
considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against
AXIA and BOK for violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1955,
Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Sections 206(1) and (2) of
the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, and Sections 12(b) and 34(b) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940. BOK and AXIA have been cooperating fully with
the SEC in connection with these matters that arose prior to December 31, 2003.
BOK and AXIA are not bound by the SEC BISYS Order and disagree with the SEC
position as it relates to BOK and AXIA. On May 27, 2008, BOK and AXIA responded
to the Wells notice denying the SEC position. On June 26, 2008, BOK and AXIA
representatives met with SEC Staff at which time the SEC Staff advised that the
Staff had not determined whether to recommend any action to the Commission. On
September 25, 2008, The SEC Staff requested, and BOK and AXIA agreed to, a
tolling agreement for any action the SEC might take until January 15, 2009. On
December 22, 2008, the tolling agreement was extended to March 2, 2009. On
February 11, AXIA representatives met again with SEC Staff. Nothing further has
occurred as of the time of this filing.

As a member of Visa, BOK Financial is obligated for a proportionate share of
certain covered litigation losses incurred by Visa under a retrospective
responsibility plan. A contingent liability was recognized for the Company's
share of Visa's covered litigation liabilities. This contingent liability
totaled $2.5 million at December 31, 2008. During 2008, Visa funded an escrow
account to cover litigation claims, including covered litigation losses under
the retrospective responsibility plan, with proceeds from its initial public
offering and from available cash. BOK Financial recognized a $2.5 million
receivable for its proportionate share of this escrow account.

BOK Financial received 410,562 Visa Class B shares as part of Visa's initial
public offering in the first quarter of 2008. A partial redemption of Class B
shares was completed and the Company received $6.8 million in cash in exchange
for 158,725 Class B shares. The remaining 251,837 Class B shares are convertible
into Visa Class A shares at the later of three years after the date of Visa's
initial public offering or the final settlement of all covered litigation. The
current exchange rate is approximately 0.6296 Class A shares for each Class B
share. However, the Company's Class B shares may be diluted in the future if the
escrow fund is not adequate to cover future covered litigation costs. Therefore,
under currently issued accounting guidance, no value has been currently assigned
to the Class B shares and no value may be assigned until the Class B shares are
converted into a known number of Class A shares.

At December 31, 2008, Cavanal Hill Funds' assets included $1.6 billion of U.S.
Treasury, $1.4 billion of cash management and $881 million of tax-free money
market funds. Assets of these funds consist of highly-rated, short-term
obligations of the U.S. Treasury, corporate issuers and U.S. states and
municipalities. The net asset value of units in these funds was $1.00 at
December 31, 2008. An investment in these funds is not insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or guaranteed by BOK Financial or any of its
subsidiaries. BOK Financial may, but is not obligated to purchase assets from
these funds to maintain the net asset value at $1.00.

BOk is obligated under a long-term lease for its bank premises owned by Williams
Companies, Inc. and located in downtown Tulsa. The Chairman and CEO of the
Williams Companies, Inc. is a director of BOK Financial Corporation. 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 $3.2 million. BOk subleases
portions of its space for annual rents of $213 thousand in years 2009 and 2010.
Net rent expense on this lease was $3.0 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006. Total
rent expense for BOK Financial was $20.3 million in 2008, $18.8 million in 2007,
and $16.5 million in 2006.

At December 31, 2008, future minimum lease payments for equipment and premises
under operating leases were as follows: $17.4 million in 2009, $17.2 million in
2010, $14.6 million in 2011, $11.9 million in 2012, $9.4 million in 2013, and a
total of $102.7 million thereafter. Premises leases may include options to renew
at then current market rates and may include escalation provisions based upon
changes in the consumer price index or similar benchmarks.

The Federal Reserve Bank requires member banks to maintain certain minimum
average cash balances. These balances were approximately $373 million and $315
million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 customer
balances subject to indemnification totaled $1.5 million at December 31, 2008.

At December 31, 2008, the Company has funded $42.6 million and has commitments
to fund an additional $13.9 million in various unrelated alternative
investments. Alternative investments generally consist of limited partnership
interests in or loans to entities that invest in distressed real estate loans
and properties, energy development, venture capital and other activities. The
Company is prohibited by banking regulations from controlling or actively
managing the activities of these investments.

BOKF Equity, LLC, indirectly a wholly-owned subsidiary of BOK Financial, is the
general partner in two private equity funds ("the Funds"). The Funds provide
alternative investment opportunities to certain customers, some of which are
related parties, through limited partnerships. The Funds generally invest in
distressed assets, asset buy-out or venture capital limited partnerships or
limited liability companies. The general partner has contingent obligations
through the Funds to make additional investments totaling $17.5 million as of
December 31, 2008. Substantially all of those contingent obligations are offset
by commitments of BOK Financial customers.

During the third quarter of 2007, Bank of Oklahoma agreed to guarantee rents
totaling $28.4 million over 10 years to the City of Tulsa ("City") as owner of a
building immediately adjacent to the Bank's main office. These rents are due for
space currently rented by third-party tenants in the building. In return for
this guarantee, Bank of Oklahoma will receive 80% of net rent as defined in an
agreement with the City over the next 10 years from currently vacant space in
the same building. The maximum amount that Bank of Oklahoma may receive under
this agreement is $4.5 million. The fair value of this agreement at inception is
zero and no asset or liability is currently recognized in the Company's
financial statements.

In the ordinary course of business, BOK Financial and its subsidiaries 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.

(16) Shareholders' Equity

Preferred Stock

One billion shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00005 per share are
authorized. 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. No Series A Preferred
Stock was outstanding in 2008, 2007 or 2006.

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.
Additionally, regulations restrict the ability of national banks and bank
holding companies to pay dividends.

Cash dividends paid on common stock totaled $59 million, $50 million and $37
million in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Previously, annual dividends were
paid in shares of common stock.

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 regulations 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, 2008, BOK
Financial's subsidiary banks could declare dividends up to $171 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, 2008, the subsidiary banks
could declare dividends of up to $119 million under this policy. The subsidiary
banks declared and paid dividends of $76 million, $254 million and $81 million
in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.

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, 2008 and 2007,
outstanding loans and equity investments totaled $45 million and $22 million,
respectively, and outstanding letters of credit totaled $18 million and $17
million, respectively. Total loan commitments to affiliates at December 31, 2008
were $199 million.

Regulatory Capital

BOK Financial and its banking subsidiaries are subject to various capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate 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 available for sale securities, less goodwill, core deposit
premiums and certain other intangible assets. Total capital consists primarily
of Tier I capital plus preferred stock, subordinated debt and reserves for
credit losses, subject to certain limitations. All of BOK Financial's banking
subsidiaries exceeded the regulatory definition of well capitalized.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") includes unrealized gains
and losses on available for sale securities and accumulated gains or losses on
effective cash flow hedges, including hedges of anticipated transactions. Gains
and losses in AOCI are net of deferred income taxes. Accumulated losses on the
rate lock hedge of the 2005 subordinated debenture issuance will be reclassified
into income over the ten-year life of the debt. Unrealized losses on employee
benefit plans were recognized as required by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Board No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and
Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106,
and 132(R)" ("FAS 158"), and will be reclassified into income as Pension Plan
costs.

BOK Financial operates three principal lines of business: commercial banking,
consumer banking and wealth management. Our principal lines of business have
been re-defined from the previous year to better present the Company's
organization as it has grown in markets outside of Oklahoma. Commercial banking
includes lending, treasury and cash management services and customer risk
management products to small businesses, middle market and larger commercial
customers. Commercial banking also includes the TransFund network. Consumer
banking includes retail lending and deposit services, all mortgage banking
activities and our indirect automobile lending products. Wealth management
provides fiduciary services, brokerage and trading, private bank services and
investment advisory services in all 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 business borrows funds from and
provides funds to the funds management unit as needed to support their
operations. Operating results for Funds Management and Other include the effect
of interest rate risk positions and risk management activities, the provision
for credit losses in excess of net loans charged off, tax planning strategies
and certain executive compensation costs that are not attributed to the lines of
business.

BOK Financial allocates resources and evaluates performance of its lines of
business after allocation of funds, certain indirect expenses, taxes based on
statutory rates, actual net credit losses 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 indeterminate maturities, such as demand deposit accounts
and interest-bearing transaction accounts, are transfer-priced at a rolling
average based on expected duration of the accounts. The expected duration ranges
from 30 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 management'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 exposures and calibrated
to its own loss history where possible. Average invested capital includes
economic capital and amounts we have invested in the lines of business.

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

The preceding table presents the estimated fair values of financial instruments.
Fair value is the estimated price that would be received to sell the financial
assets or paid to transfer the financial liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants. 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
individually or in the aggregate.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of
these financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

 102



Securities

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.

Derivatives

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 valuations provided either by third-party dealers in the contracts,
quotes provided by independent pricing services, or a third-party provided
pricing model.

Loans

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 loans were estimated to
approximate their carrying values less loan loss reserves allocated to these
loans of $210 million and $107 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.

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

Deposits

The fair values of time deposits are based on discounted cash flow analyses
using interest rates currently being offered on similar 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.

Other Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures

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

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

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 values of these off-balance sheet instruments
were not significant at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring
basis are as follows as of December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

(1)      A reconciliation of the beginning and ending fair value of mortgage
         servicing rights and disclosures of significant assumptions used to
         determine fair value are presented in Note 8, Mortgage Banking
         Activities.

 103

The fair value of assets and liabilities based on significant other observable
inputs are generally provided to us by third-party pricing services and are
based on one or more of the following:

o    Quoted prices for similar,  but not  identical,  assets or  liabilities  in
     active markets;

o    Quoted prices for identical or similar  assets or  liabilities  in inactive
     markets;

o    Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable,  such as interest rate
     and yield curves, volatilities,  prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit
     risks and default rates;

o    Other inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market inputs.

The underlying methods used by the third-party pricing services are considered
in determining the primary inputs used to determine fair values.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis generally
include certain impaired loans, real estate and other repossessed assets and
goodwill. The allowance for loan losses related to collateral dependent impaired
loans within the scope of FAS 114 is based on the fair value of the collateral.
Real estate and other repossessed assets are carried at the lower of cost, which
is determined by fair value at the date of foreclosure, or current fair value.
The frequency of nonrecurring fair value measurements of impaired loans and real
estate and other repossessed assets is governed by federal banking regulations.
Fair value measurements are generally based on appraised values which require
significant Level 2 other observable inputs.

Intangible assets, which consist primarily of goodwill, core deposit intangible
assets and other acquired intangibles, for each business unit are evaluated for
impairment annually as of October 1st or more frequently 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 seven-year period for
each unit and a terminal value is computed. 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. Assumptions used to value our business units
are based on growth rates, volatility, discount rate and market risk premium
inherent in our current stock price. These assumptions are considered Level 3
inputs as defined by FAS 157 and represent our best estimate of assumptions that
market participants would use to determine fair value of the respective business
units. The most critical assumptions in our evaluation were a 7.00% expected
long-term growth rate, a 0.66% volatility factor for BOK Financial common stock,
a 9.36% discount rate, and an 11.04% market risk premium.
