LOCAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared
in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
All adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) that are
necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair presentation of the
interim financial statements have been included. The interim financial
information should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes included in the Local Financial Corporation
(the "Company") Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
(2) STOCK COMPENSATION
The Company applies the intrinsic-value based method of accounting
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting
for its stock option plan. Under this method, compensation expense is
recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the
underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Accordingly, no compensation
cost has been recognized for its stock option rights. Had the Company
determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for
its stock options under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and as provided
for under SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 would
have been decreased to the pro forma amounts below (dollars in thousands,

The FHLB requires the Company to hold eligible assets with a lending
value, as defined, at least equal to FHLB advances and letters of credit
issued. Eligible assets can include such items as first and second
mortgage loans, multifamily mortgage loans, commercial and construction
real estate loans, small business loans and investment securities, which
are not already pledged or otherwise encumbered. At June 30, 2003, the
Company had approximately $879.9 million in eligible assets pledged

purchase common stock are considered in diluted income per share
calculations, if dilutive, and are computed using the treasury stock
method.
The following table reconciles the net income and weighted average shares
outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per
share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

(9) SEGMENTS
The Company operates as one segment. The operating information used by the
Company's chief operating decision-maker for purposes of assessing
performance and making operating decisions about the Company is the
consolidated financial statements presented herein. The Company has one
active operating subsidiary, namely, Local Oklahoma Bank (the "Bank"). The
Bank, in turn, has one active operating subsidiary, Local Securities
Corporation ("Local Securities"), which is a registered broker-dealer
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and provides retail investment
products to customers of the Bank. While Local Securities qualifies as a
separate operating segment, it is not considered material to the
consolidated financial statements for the purposes of making operating
decisions and does not meet the 10% threshold for disclosure under
Statement No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information.
(10) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications were made to the 2002 consolidated financial
statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.
(11) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others,
an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of
FASB Interpretation No. 34 ("Interpretation No. 45"). Interpretation No.
45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim
and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees
issued. Interpretation No. 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required
to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value
of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement
provisions of Interpretation No. 45 are applicable to guarantees issued or
modified after December 31, 2002 and did not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements. The disclosure requirements
are effective for financial statements of interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 2002. Standby letters of credit and financial
guarantees written of approximately $11.4 million and $9.5 million at June
30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, are conditional commitments
issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a
third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and
private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing
and similar transactions. The Company holds marketable securities as
collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed
necessary.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research
Bulletin No. 51 ("Interpretation No. 46"). Interpretation No. 46 requires
a company to consolidate a variable interest entity if the company has a
variable interest (or combination of variable interests) that will absorb
a majority of the entity's expected losses if they occur, receive a
majority of the entity's expected residual returns
8
if they occur, or both. The application of Interpretation No. 46 had no
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity
("Statement No. 150"). Statement No. 150 requires issuers to classify as
liabilities (or assets in some circumstance) three classes of freestanding
financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer. Generally,
Statement No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
A number of the presentations and disclosures in this Form 10-Q,
including, without limitation, statements regarding the level of allowance for
loan losses, the rate of delinquencies and amounts of charge-offs, and the rates
of loan growth, and any statements preceded by, followed by or which include the
words "may," "could," "should," "will," "would," "hope," "might," "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "assume" or similar
expressions constitute forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements, implicitly and explicitly, include the
assumptions underlying the statements and other information with respect to our
beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates,
intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and
business, including our expectations and estimates with respect to our revenues,
expenses, earnings, return on equity, return on assets, efficiency ratio, asset
quality and other financial data and capital and performance ratios.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking
statements are reasonable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that
are subject to change based on various important factors (some of which are
beyond our control). The following factors, among others, could cause our
financial performance to differ materially from our goals, plans, objectives,
intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements:
- the strength of the United States economy in general and the
strength of the regional and local economies within Oklahoma;
- adverse changes in the local real estate market, as most of the
Company's loans are concentrated in Oklahoma and a substantial
portion of these loans have real estate as collateral;
- the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies
and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System;
- inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
- adverse changes in asset quality and the resulting credit
risk-related losses and expenses;
- our timely development of new products and services in a changing
environment, including the features, pricing and quality of our
products and services compared to the products and services of our
competitors;
- the willingness of users to substitute competitors' products and
services for our products and services;
- the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and
regulations, including laws, regulations and policies concerning
taxes, banking, securities and insurance, and the application
thereof by regulatory bodies;
- technological changes;
10
- changes in consumer spending and savings habits; and
- regulatory or judicial proceedings.
If one or more of the factors affecting our forward-looking information
and statements proves incorrect, then our actual results, performance or
achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by,
forward-looking information and statements contained in this Form 10-Q.
Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking
information and statements.
We do not intend to update our forward-looking information and statements,
whether written or oral, to reflect change. All forward-looking statements
attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.
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, 2002, 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, 2002 TO JUNE 30, 2003
During the six months ended June 30, 2003, total assets increased slightly
by $8.1 million or 0.3%. The Company's loan portfolio, net of allowance,
increased $90.0 million or 4.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2003
primarily as a result of increased residential and commercial loan volume.
Residential mortgage loans, which include home equity first mortgages, rose by
$58.9 million or 21.3% during the period as record low interest rates continue
to generate increased levels of mortgage loan activity. Commercial loans showed
moderate growth of $46.2 million or 2.7% during the six months ended June 30,
2003. Additionally, the increase in other assets reflected the purchase during
the period ended June 30, 2003 of an additional $10.0 million of bank-owned life
insurance. These increases were offset in part by a decline in the Company's
security portfolio of $96.9 million or 18.3% during the same period resulting
from paydowns and maturities.
Total deposits reflected an increase of $10.1 million or 0.6% during the
six months ended June 30, 2003 as the Company's focus on transaction accounts
successfully replaced maturing time deposits with demand and savings deposits.
Advances from the FHLB of Topeka used to help meet funding needs rose $28.5
million or 4.2% during the period. Securities under agreement to repurchase
which represent interest-bearing accounts from commercial customers decreased
during the six months ended June 30, 2003 by $31.6 million or 52.9%.
Stockholders' equity increased slightly from $167.9 million at December
31, 2002 to $168.0 million at June 30, 2003. Earnings during the period of $14.2
million were offset by an increase in treasury shares and the adjustment to
accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from a decrease in unrealized
gains on available for sale securities. The Company increased its shares of
treasury stock during 2003 as part of a stock repurchase program in which the
Company purchased 979,100 shares of its common stock at an average per share
price of $14.94 and an aggregate cost of $14.6 million. The increase in common
stock and additional paid-in capital during the period ended June 30, 2003 of
$1.2 million included the exercise of 109,000 options to purchase the Company's
stock. At June 30, 2003, the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory
requirements for capital adequacy. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources".
11
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002 AND THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002
Net Income. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003
was $7.1 million and $14.2 million, respectively, down slightly from $7.5
million and $14.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year.
Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter 2003 were $.40, up 8.1% from
the second quarter 2002. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 were $.78, up 6.8% from the same period last year. Diluted
earnings per share include the effect of the Company's share repurchase program
which resulted in 2.0 million fewer shares outstanding on average during the
second quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002.
Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income declined $2.2
million or 9.8% to $20.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $22.9
million for the comparable 2002 period. Net interest income declined $3.1
million or 6.7% to $43.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from
$46.1 million for the comparable 2002 period. Net interest margin during both
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 declined to 3.15% and 3.25%,
respectively, from 3.44% and 3.47% for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2002, respectively. The decrease in net interest income was largely due
to the current low level of interest rates and the resulting asset repricings.
The Company anticipates further declines in net interest income along with lower
spreads and margins.
Interest Income. Total interest income declined 15.5% during the three
months ended June 30, 2003 from $44.1 million at June 30, 2002 to $37.3 million.
Similarly, interest income declined 13.6% during the six months ended June 30,
2003 compared to the same period in the prior year from $89.2 million to $77.0
million. The decline was primarily due to a lower yield on interest-earning
assets, which dropped from 6.63% to 5.68% in the three-month comparative period
and from 6.73% to 5.84% in the six-month comparative period. The decreases in
yield were offset to a certain extent in both comparative periods by increases
in loan average balances driven primarily by growth in the residential mortgage
and commercial loan portfolios.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $4.6 million or 21.6%
in the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in the
prior year, and fell by $9.1 million or 21.0% in the six months ended June 30,
2003 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These decreases came
primarily as a result of the declining cost of deposits, which fell
approximately 100 basis points during both comparative periods. Also
contributing to the decrease in interest expense was the decline in average
balance of interest-bearing deposits of $85.1 million or 4.9% for the
three-month comparative period and $56.6 million or 3.3% for the six-month
comparative period. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in
interest expense on trust preferred securities as the Company accrued interest
on the additional trust preferred securities issued in July and October of 2002.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Company's provision for loan losses
remained the same at $1.8 million and $3.6 million for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively. Charge-offs (net of
recoveries) in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 were $2.0
million and $3.0 million, respectively.
The provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based
on (i) an estimate by management of loan losses that occurred during the current
period and (ii) an ongoing adjustment of prior estimates of losses occurring in
prior periods. To serve as a basis for making this provision each quarter, the
Company maintains an extensive 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
12
large loans and pools of homogeneous small loans, portfolio seasoning, changes
in collateral values, and detailed reviews of specific large loan relationships.
Noninterest Income. The components of noninterest income are deposit
related income, loan fees and loan service charges, net gains on sale of assets,
and other income. Total noninterest income increased $1.0 million or 13.3%
during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and $2.4 million or 16.6% during the
six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in the prior year.
These increases were primarily due to a significant increase in deposit related
income, which consists primarily of service charges and fees on deposit
accounts. Deposit related income rose $1.4 million or 28.1% and $2.5 million or
27.9% during the three and six month comparative periods, respectively.
Noninterest expense. Total noninterest expense for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2003 decreased by $773,000 or 4.4% and $342,000 or 1.0%,
respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. The declines during
the comparative periods were primarily due to a reduction in compensation and
employee benefits expense, which fell 9.5% and 3.9%, respectively, led by a
reduction in executive benefit plan expense and a focus on monitoring and
controlling compensation and benefits expense, as it represents the largest
component of noninterest expense.

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, 2003, the Company had $210.1 million in
available borrowing capacity with the FHLB.
At June 30, 2003, the Company had outstanding loan commitments (including
unused lines of credit) for home equity, commercial real estate and commercial
business loans of approximately $372.4 million and an additional $11.4 million
in performance standby letters of credit. Certificates of deposit, which are
scheduled to mature within one year, totaled $696.8 million at June 30, 2003,
and borrowings, which are scheduled to mature within the same period, totaled
$105.8 million. The Company anticipates that sufficient funds will be available
to meet its current loan total 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, the Company issued $80.0 million of Senior Notes. As of
June 30, 2003, the Company had purchased and retired $58.7 million of those
outstanding Senior Notes. These transactions reduced future interest costs
associated with those notes. The remaining $21.3 million of Senior Notes mature
in September 2004 and have an annual debt service requirement of $2.3 million
(or $1.15 million for each semi-annual period) in 2003.
Capital Resources. 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,
2003, 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 11.20%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
9.43% and a leverage ratio of 7.15%.

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
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
16
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, 2003, based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes
below (dollars in thousands):
