         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,
         Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

         In September 2001, the Company formed Local Financial Capital Trust I
         (the "Trust"), a wholly-owned finance subsidiary. The Trust does not
         qualify as an operating segment under SFAS No. 131 and has no
         independent operations and no other function other than the issuance of
         its securities and the related purchase of 9% junior subordinated
         debentures (the "Debentures") from the Company and to distribute
         payments received thereon to the holders of its securities.

(9)      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         The Company adopted Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
         Assets, as of January 1, 2002 and no longer amortizes goodwill. As of
         the date of adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the
         amount of approximately $15.5 million, which was subject to the
         transition provisions of Statement No. 142. The Company has determined
         there was no transitional impairment loss at January 1, 2002. There was
         no amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30,
         2002, whereas this expense amounted to $335,000 and $670,000 for the
         three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The Company's
         net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, excluding
         the effects of goodwill amortization, would have been $7.4 million and
         $14.5 million, respectively, compared to $7.5 million and $14.5 million
         for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively.
         Excluding the effects of goodwill amortization, the earnings per share
         for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 would have been $.36
         basic and $.35 diluted, and $.70 basic and $.68 diluted, respectively.

         In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
         Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes SFAS No.
         121 and portions of APB Opinion No. 30. This statement addresses the
         recognition of an impairment loss for long-lived assets to be held and
         used or disposed of by sale or otherwise. This statement is effective
         for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
         December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
         adoption of this statement as of July 1, 2002 had no effect on the
         Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

         In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB
         Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and
         Technical Corrections. The Statement updates, clarifies and simplifies
         existing accounting pronouncements. As it relates to the Company, the
         statement eliminates the extraordinary loss classification on early
         debt extinguishments. Instead, the premiums and other costs associated
         with the early extinguishment of debt would be reflected in pre-tax
         results similar to other debt-related expenses, such as interest
         expense and amortization of issuance costs. The statement will be
         effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 (January 1,
         2003 for the Company). Upon adoption, the Company must reclassify the
         extraordinary losses incurred in prior periods (including 2001 and
         2000) as pre-tax items. The result of the adoption of this statement
         will not modify or adjust net income for any period and does not impact
         the Company's compliance with its various debt covenants.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         In this Form 10-Q, the Company, when discussing the future, may use
words like "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "should" and
similar expressions, or the negative thereof. These words represent
forward-looking statements. In addition, any analysis of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses or the interest rate sensitivity of the Bank's assets
and liabilities represent attempts to predict future events and circumstances
and also represent forward-looking statements.

         Many factors could cause future results to differ from what is
anticipated in the forward-looking statements. For example, future financial
results could be affected by (i) deterioration in local, regional, national or
global economic conditions which could cause an increase in loan delinquencies
or a decrease in collateral values; (ii) changes in market interest rates or
changes in the speed at which market interest rates change; (iii) changes in
laws and regulations affecting the financial service industry; (iv) changes in
competition and (v) changes in consumer preferences.

         A reader should not place unjustified or excessive reliance on any
forward-looking statements. They speak only as of the date made and are not
guarantees, promises or assurances of what will happen in the future. Various
factors, including those described above and those described in the Company's
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, could affect the Company's
financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results or
circumstances for future periods to be materially different from what has been
anticipated or projected.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION FROM DECEMBER 31, 2001 TO JUNE 30, 2002

         During the six months ended June 30, 2002, total assets declined $36.1
million or 1.3%. The Company's security portfolio declined $32.4 million or
5.18% as a result of normal paydowns and maturities as well as sales during the
period. The Company's loans receivable, net of allowance, remained relatively
stable at $1.98 billion at June 30, 2002 compared with $1.97 billion at December
31, 2001. The Company continues to experience growth in its commercial loan
portfolio where balances rose $15.7 million during the period. However, total
loan growth has slowed in recent periods with residential balances declining
$8.9 million during the period due to normal amortization.

         Total deposits rose $74.3 million or 4.1% during the six months ended
June 30, 2002 with the majority of this growth occurring in demand and time
deposits. Advances from the FLHB of Topeka declined $125.2 million or 17.2%
during the period as the Company utilized the increase in deposits as well as
cash generated from paydowns, maturities and sales in the securities portfolio
to meet its funding needs.

         Total stockholders' equity increased $11.6 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in stockholders' equity came primarily
as a result of earnings during the period offset by an increase in treasury
shares and a decline in accumulated other comprehensive income. During the
period, the Company repurchased 150,000 shares at market value for $2.3 million
as part of a stock repurchase program which began last year. The increase in
additional paid-in capital of $1.2 million was the result of an exercise of
106,667 warrants, which were part of the original 591,000 warrants issued in
conjunction with the Company's 1997 private placement, as well as the exercise
of 23,000 incentive stock options issued under the Company's 1998 Stock Option
Plan. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial



                                       8


Statements. At June 30, 2002, the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory
requirements to be considered well capitalized. See "--Liquidity and Capital
Resources".

         On July 17, 2002, the Company announced its intent to acquire U.S.
National Bank, a privately-held institution located in Midwest City, Oklahoma,
with total assets of $34.2 million, deposits of $28.4 million, liabilities of
$30.4 million and stockholders' equity of $3.8 million. The acquisition will not
have a material impact on the consolidated financial condition of the Company.
The acquisition will bring total deposits in the Midwest City market to $113.6
million, a significant presence in that area.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001 AND THE
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001

         Net Income. Net income for the six and three months ended June 30, 2002
was $14.5 million and $7.5 million, respectively, up from $13.8 million and $7.1
million for the same respective period last year. Diluted earnings per share for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $.73, up 12.3% from the same period last
year. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $.37, up 12.1% from the
same quarter in the prior year. Earnings per share data in both periods gives
effect to the Company's purchase of 1.5 million of its outstanding shares in
2001 and 2002 and elimination of amortization of goodwill in 2002. The Company
discontinued its amortization of goodwill following its January 1, 2002 adoption
of Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. See Note 9 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. There was no amortization expense
for the six and three months ended June 30, 2002, whereas this expense amounted
to $670,000 and $335,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2001,
respectively. The Company's reported net income for the six months ended June
30, 2001, excluding the effects of goodwill amortization, would have been $14.5
million compared with $13.8 million as reported. Accordingly, net income for the
three months ended June 30, 2001, excluding the effects of goodwill
amortization, would have been $7.4 million compared to $7.1 million as reported.

         Net Interest Income. Net interest income totaled $46.1 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $42.0 million during the same
period in the prior year. Net interest income in the three-month comparative
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 totaled $22.9 million and $21.3 million,
respectively. In both comparative periods, the increase was primarily
attributable to increasing spreads. Net interest margin was 3.47% year-to-date
compared to 3.45% last year at this time. On a sequential quarter basis, spreads
continue to decline as rates on interest-earning assets decline more rapidly
than rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Low interest rates, over a prolonged
period of time, as well as soft loan demand, will impact profitability
adversely.

         Interest Income. Total interest income decreased by $7.7 million or
7.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in
the prior year, and fell by $3.8 million or 7.9% during the three months ended
June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in the prior year. Prepayment
penalties are included in interest income and had the effect of mitigating these
declines somewhat. However, notwithstanding the effects of prepayment penalties,
the decline in interest income during the six and three-month comparative
periods was due primarily to declines in the average yield on the Company's loan
portfolio, which dropped from 8.28% to 6.99% in the six-month comparative
periods and from 8.05% to 7.05% in the three-month comparative periods. These
rate declines were offset to a certain extent by increases in the average
balance of loans receivable which rose $115.2 million or 6.12% and $96.8 million
or 5.12% in both the six and three-month comparative periods.

         Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $11.8 million or
21.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in
the prior year. Total interest expense decreased $5.4 million or 20.2% during
the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior
year. The decreases in both comparative periods were primarily the result of the
declining cost of




                                       9


deposits. The Company's average cost of deposits in the six-month period ended
June 30, 2002 was 3.20% as compared with 5.01% during the same period in the
prior year. Likewise, the Company's average cost of deposits in the three-month
period ended June 30, 2002 was 3.08% as compared with 4.76% during the same
period in the prior year. Declines in the average cost of deposits in both
periods offset modest increases in the average balance of total deposits in
those periods. Interest expense on FHLB advances increased in the comparative
three and six-month periods primarily due to increases in the average balance of
borrowings during those periods, which offset the decline in rates paid on those
borrowings. During the periods presented, interest expense on Senior Notes
consisted of interest accrued with respect to the Senior Notes issued in
connection with the 1997 purchase and recapitalization of the Company. During
the past three years, the Company has successfully purchased and retired $58.5
million of the original $80.0 million 11% Senior Notes, resulting in the
continued decrease in interest expense. Additionally, during the three and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, the Company paid $921,000 and $1.8
million, respectively, in interest expense on its 9% cumulative trust preferred
securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities"), which were issued in September
and October 2001.

         Provision for Loan Losses. The Company increased its provision for loan
losses to $1.8 million during the second quarter from $1.2 million during the
same quarter last year, bringing the year-to-date provision to $3.6 million
versus $1.9 million at this date last year. Charge-offs (net of recoveries) in
the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 were $2.9 million and $1.1
million, respectively. The Company's basis for provisions was a function of
management's credit risk monitoring process that considers several factors,
including among other things, current economic conditions affecting the
Company's customers, the payment performance of individual large loans and pools
of homogeneous small loans, portfolio seasoning, change in collateral values,
and detailed review of specific large loan relationships.

         Noninterest Income. The components of noninterest income consist of
deposit-related income, loan fees and loan service charges, net gains on sale of
assets and other income. Total noninterest income increased $2.7 million or
26.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $1.4 million or 26.2% during
the three months ended June 30, 2002. Contributing to this increase was
deposit-related income growth in both comparative periods, primarily
attributable to the success of our High Performance Checking campaign as well as
increased account analysis fees from commercial cash management services. Net
gains on sales of assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 included gains
on sale of securities, which was offset by a loss on the sale of a classified
loan (for a net nonrecurring gain of $417,000), combined with $187,000 in gains
from on-going sales of single-family residential and student loans.

         Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased $4.0 million
or 13.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $1.7 million or 11.4%
during the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increases in noninterest
expense were primarily attributable to compensation and advertising increases
considered necessary to support long-term strategic and marketing initiatives.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

         Asset and liability management is concerned with the timing and
magnitude of the repricing of assets and liabilities. It is the objective of the
Company to attempt to control risks associated with interest rate movements. In
general, management's strategy is to evaluate asset and liability balances
within maturity categories to control the Company's exposure to earnings
variations and variations in the value of assets and liabilities as interest
rates change over time.

         Management's methods for evaluating interest rate risk include an
analysis of the Company's interest rate sensitivity "gap", which is defined as
the difference between interest-earning assets and



                                       10


interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period. A
gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets
exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered
negative when the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities exceeds
interest-rate sensitive assets. During a period of falling interest rates, a
negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a
positive gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely. Because
different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities
may react differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions, changes
in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or negatively even
if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity category.


         The following table summarizes the anticipated maturities or repricing
of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of
June 30, 2002, based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes
below (dollars in thousands):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


         Liquidity. Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to generate
sufficient cash to meet the funding needs of current loan demand, savings
deposit withdrawals, principal and interest payments with respect to outstanding
borrowings and to pay operating expenses. It is management's policy to maintain
greater liquidity than required in order to be in a position to fund loan
originations, to meet withdrawals from deposit accounts, to make principal and
interest payments with respect to outstanding borrowings and to make investments
that take advantage of interest rate spreads. The Company monitors its liquidity
in accordance with guidelines established by the Company and applicable
regulatory requirements. The Company's need for liquidity is affected by loan
demand, net changes in deposit levels and the scheduled maturities of its
borrowings. The Company can minimize the cash required during the times of heavy
loan demand by modifying its credit policies or reducing its marketing effort.
Liquidity demand caused by net reductions in deposits is usually caused by
factors over which the Company has limited control. The Company derives its
liquidity from both its assets and liabilities. Liquidity is derived from assets
by receipt of interest and principal payments and prepayments, by the ability to
sell assets at market prices and by utilizing unpledged assets as collateral for
borrowings. Liquidity is derived from liabilities by maintaining a variety of
funding sources, including deposits, advances from the FHLB, securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and other short and long-term borrowings.


         The Company's liquidity management is both a daily and long-term
function of funds management. Liquid assets are generally placed in short-term
investments such as overnight money funds and short-term government agency
securities. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, various forms of both short and long-term borrowings provide an
additional source of funds. At June 30, 2002, the Company had $451.0 million in
available borrowing capacity with the FHLB.


         At June 30, 2002, the Company had approximately $349.5 million of
outstanding loan commitments (including unused lines of credit) for home equity,
commercial real estate and commercial business loans and an additional $7.6
million in performance standby letters of credit. Certificates of deposit which
are scheduled to mature or reprice within one year totaled $920.3 million at
June 30, 2002, and borrowings which are scheduled to mature or reprice within
the same period amounted to $36.7 million. The Company anticipates that
sufficient funds will be available to meet its current loan commitments and
that, based upon past experience and current pricing policies, it can adjust the
rates of certificates of deposit to retain a substantial portion of its maturing
certificates and also, to the extent deemed necessary, refinance the maturing
borrowings.


         In September 1997, in connection with the Company's recapitalization,
the Company issued $80.0 million of Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2002, the
Company has purchased and retired $58.5 million of those outstanding Senior
Notes. These transactions reduced future interest costs associated with those
notes. The remaining $21.5 million of Senior Notes have an annual debt service
requirement of $2.4 million (or $1.2 million for each semi-annual period).


         Capital Resources. In September 2001, the Company, through the Trust,
issued $35 million in Trust Preferred Securities with an additional issuance of
$5.3 million in October 2001. The Trust Preferred Securities increased the
Company's regulatory capital, which allows for the continued growth of its
banking franchise. The ability to treat these Trust Preferred Securities as
regulatory capital under Federal Reserve guidelines, coupled with the Federal
income tax deductibility of the related expense, provides the Company with a
cost-effective form of capital.



                                       13

         Bank holding companies are required to maintain capital ratios in
accordance with guidelines adopted by the Federal Reserve Bank. The guidelines
are commonly known as Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. On June 30, 2002, the
Company exceeded all applicable capital requirements pursuant to the Risk-Based
Capital Guidelines and was considered "well capitalized" by having a total
risk-based capital ratio of 11.32%, a tier I risk-based capital ratio of 10.07%
and a leverage ratio of 7.12%.

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Consolidated Financial Statements and related data presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position
and operating results in terms of historical dollars (except with respect to
available for sale securities which are carried at market value), without
considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to
inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates
have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of
general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services.

         In order to support strategic objectives, management initiated a
project to return its mainframe operations to an internally supported function.
The Company's mainframe processing had been operated in a data center operated
by a third-party servicer. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company brought
its mainframe processing in-house. The Company does not anticipate this action
will have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition and the
contractual obligations are reflected above.

RECENT LEGISLATION

         On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, or the SOA. The stated goals of the SOA are to increase corporate
responsibility, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing
improprieties at publicly traded companies and to protect investors by improving
the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities
laws.

         The SOA is the most far-reaching U.S. securities legislation enacted in
some time. The SOA generally applies to all companies, both U.S. and non-U.S.,
that file or are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or
the Exchange Act. Given the extensive SEC role in implementing rules relating to
many of the SOA's new requirements, the final scope of these requirements
remains to be determined.

         The SOA includes very specific additional disclosure requirements and
new corporate governance rules, requires the SEC and securities exchanges to
adopt extensive additional disclosure, corporate governance and other related
rules and mandates further studies of certain issues by the SEC and the
Comptroller General. The SOA represents significant federal involvement in
matters traditionally left to state regulatory systems, such as the regulation
of the accounting profession, and to state corporate law, such as the
relationship between a board of directors and management and between a board of
directors and its committees.

         This SOA addresses, among other matters: audit committees;
certification of financial statements by the chief executive officer and the
chief financial officer; the forfeiture of bonuses and profits made by directors
and senior officers in the twelve month period covered by restated financial
statements; a prohibition on insider trading during pension plan black out
periods; disclosure of off-balance sheet transactions; a prohibition on personal
loans to directors and officers, does not apply to loans made by ""insured
depository institutions'' that are subject to the insider lending restrictions
of the Federal Reserve Board; expedited filing requirements for Forms 4s;
disclosure of a code of ethics and filing a Form 8-K for a change or waiver of
such code; ""real time'' filing of periodic reports; the formation of a public
accounting oversight board; auditor independence; and various increased criminal
penalties for violations of securities laws.

         The SOA contains provisions which became effective upon enactment on
July 30, 2002 and provisions which will become effective from within 30 days to
one year from enactment. The SEC has been delegated the task of enacting rules
to implement various of the provisions with respect to, among other matters,
disclosure in periodic filings pursuant to the Exchange Act.
