The Plan Administrative Committee

BOK Financial Thrift Plan for Salaried Employees

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the BOK Financial Thrift Plan for Salaried Employees as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

BOK Financial Thrift Plan for Salaried Employees

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2004

 

 

1. Description of Plan

 

The following description of the BOK Financial Thrift Plan for Salaried Employees (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description or the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General

 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all salaried employees of BOK Financial Corporation (BOKF) and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the Employer or Company) who have attained age 21 and who have completed at least one year of service (equivalent to 1,000 hours). Effective April 1, 2003, an eligible employee may enter the plan monthly following the date the employee is credited with one full month of service. Additionally, as of April 1, 2003, all new eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan at a three percent contribution rate unless the employee designates on the enrollment form not to participate or to participate at another allowable contribution rate. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA)

 

Contributions

 

Participants may elect to contribute up to 100 percent of their compensation (as defined by the Plan) on a pre-tax basis pursuant to a salary reduction agreement filed with the Plan administrator. In addition, participants may make after-tax contributions which shall not exceed 5 percent of each participant’s compensation, however, the combination of pre-tax and after-tax contributions cannot be more than 100 percent of compensation (as defined by the plan). Participants may elect investment in any of 13 mutual funds, self-directed common stocks or registered investment companies, and BOKF Common Stock.

 

The Employer contributes a matching contribution to the plan. The matching contribution may be made in cash or in shares of BOKF Common Stock. In 2004, the entire matching contribution of $3,464,858 was made in cash.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

 

1. Description of Plan (continued)

 

For 2004, the Employer matching contribution ranged from $.40 to $1.00 for each dollar of the participant’s contributions, up to five percent of compensation, based on each participant’s years of service as follows:

 

Years of Service

Matching Percentage



 

 

Less than four years

40%

At least four, but less than ten years

60%

At least ten, but less than fifteen years

80%

Fifteen or more years

100%

 

The Employer may, at its sole discretion, make an additional discretionary contribution to the Plan. There was no discretionary contribution in 2004.

 

Participant Accounts

 

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Employer’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings and charged with administrative expenses, if applicable. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined by the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

 

Vesting

 

Participants vest in Employer matching contributions based upon years of service, as defined by the Plan. Participants are gradually vested and are 100 percent vested upon completion of five years of service and are immediately vested in their deferred (pre-tax) contributions, after-tax contributions, and the actual earnings thereon.

 

Loans

 

Participants may borrow against their accounts in amounts of not less than $1,000 and not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the participant’s vested account balance. Loans will bear interest based on the current banking prime rate when the loan is requested and may not exceed a five-year term, unless it is used to acquire the primary residence of the participant, in which case the maximum term may be 25 years. The loans are secured by the balances in the participant’s account. Interest rates range from 4.00 percent to 11.50 percent. Repayment is made by payroll withholdings.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

 

1. Description of Plan (continued)

 

Payment of Benefits

 

A participant who terminates employment with a vested account balance of less than $5,000 excluding rollover contributions will receive a lump-sum payment. If the participant has a vested balance which exceeds $5,000 excluding rollover contributions, the Plan will make a distribution only with the consent of the participant at any time prior to the earlier of the participant’s 65th birthday or death. In lieu of a lump-sum payment, a participant who terminates employment after his or her 65th birthday or after attaining age 60 and completing 10 years of service, shall be entitled to elect monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual installment payments to be paid over a period not to exceed 10 years from the benefit commencement date. The installments may be accelerated at the direction of the participant.

 

Forfeitures

 

Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ nonvested accounts are utilized to pay administrative costs or to reduce future Employer contributions. During 2004, forfeitures of $86,582 were used to reduce Employer matching contributions.

 

Plan Termination

 

The Employer expects to continue the Plan indefinitely. However, the Employer reserves the right to discontinue the Plan or to amend the Plan, in whole or in part, from time-to-time. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Benefit payments are recorded when paid.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Administrative Expenses

 

The Employer pays all administrative expenses except for loan origination fees and fees related to self-directed common stocks and registered investment companies, which are paid by the participants.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

Shares of registered investment companies are valued at fair value based on published market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The BOKF Common Stock and other common stocks are valued at the quoted market price. Participant loans receivable are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value.

 

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3. Investments

 

The Plan’s investments are held by a bank-administered trust fund at Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. Trust Division (the Trustee). During 2004, the Plan’s investments (including investments purchased and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in fair value

as determined by quoted market prices for BOKF Common Stock and common stocks and published market prices for registered investment companies as follows:

BOKF Common Stock

$     4,557,043

$  13,087,792

 


 

The fair values of individual investments that represent five percent or more of the Plan’s net assets are separately identified in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

 

4. Income Tax Status

 

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dated April 1, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to the determination letter by the IRS, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

Amounts allocated to withdrawn participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for benefit payments that have been processed and approved for payment prior to year-end, but not yet paid.

 

6. Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
