PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

United Missouri Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") was organized in 1967
under Missouri law for the purpose of becoming a bank holding company registered
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Company owns substantially all
of the outstanding stock of 30 commercial banks, a consumer credit bank, a bank
real estate corporation, a reinsurance company, a community development
corporation and a discount brokerage company.

The Company's 30 commercial banks are engaged in general commercial banking
business entirely in domestic markets. The banks, 14 located in Missouri, 12 in
Kansas, two in Illinois and two in Colorado, offer a full range of banking
services to commercial, retail, government and correspondent bank customers. In
addition to standard banking functions, the principal affiliate bank, United
Missouri Bank, n.a., provides international banking services, investment and
cash management services, data processing services for correspondent banks and a
full range of trust activities for individuals, estates, business corporations,
governmental bodies and public authorities. A table setting forth the names and
locations of the Company's affiliate banks as well as their total assets, loans,
deposits and shareholders' equity as of December 31, 1993, is included on page
A-50 of the attached Appendix, and is incorporated herein by reference.

United Missouri Bank, U.S.A. is a consumer credit bank chartered in
Delaware. United Missouri Bank, U.S.A. services all incoming credit card
requests, performs data entry services on new card requests and evaluates new
and existing credit lines.

Other subsidiaries of the Company are UMB Properties, Inc., United Missouri
Insurance Company, United Missouri Brokerage Services, Inc., and UMB Community
Development Corporation. UMB Properties, Inc. is a real estate company that
leases facilities to certain subsidiaries and acquires and holds land and
buildings for anticipated future facilities. United Missouri Insurance Company,
an Arizona corporation, is a reinsurance company that reinsures credit life and
disability insurance originated by affiliate banks. United Missouri Brokerage
Services, Inc. provides transaction services in a variety of investment
securities for the general public. This subsidiary offers brokerage and
custodial services to its customers (including affiliate and correspondent
banks) through the facilities of National Financial Services Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. UMB Community
Development Corporation provides low-cost mortgage loans to low-to
moderate-income families for acquiring or rehabing owner-occupied housing in
Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Colorado.

The Company acquired eight Kansas bank holding companies during 1993. These
acquisitions are discussed in detail on pages A-9 and A-10 of the attached
Appendix, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On a full-time equivalent basis at December 31, 1993, United Missouri
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries employed 3,718 persons.

COMPETITION

The commercial banking business is highly competitive. Affiliate banks
compete with other commercial banks and with other financial institutions,
including savings and loan associations, finance companies, money market mutual
funds, mortgage banking companies and credit unions. In recent years,
competition has also increased from institutions not subject to the same
geographical and other regulatory restrictions as domestic banks and bank
holding companies.

MONETARY POLICY AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The operations of the Company's affiliate banks are affected by general
economic conditions as well as the monetary policy of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") which affects the
supply of money available to commercial banks. Monetary policy measures by the
Federal

1
4

Reserve Board are effected through open market operations in U.S. Government
securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in
reserve requirements.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA") and to regulation by the Federal
Reserve Board.

The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval
of the Federal Reserve Board before it may (i) acquire substantially all the
assets of any bank, (ii) acquire more than 5% of the voting stock of a bank or
bank holding company which is not already majority owned, or (iii) merge or
consolidate with another bank holding company.

Under the BHCA, a bank holding company is prohibited, with certain
exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in
business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or
performing services for its banking subsidiaries. However, the BHCA authorizes
the Federal Reserve Board to permit bank holding companies to engage in
activities which are so closely related to banking or managing or controlling
banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

The BHCA prohibits the Federal Reserve Board from approving an application
by a registered bank holding company to acquire shares of a bank located outside
the state in which the operations of the holding company's banking subsidiaries
are principally conducted unless the acquisition is specifically authorized by
the laws of the state in which the bank to be acquired is located. In 1986,
Missouri authorized bank holding companies domiciled in contiguous states to
acquire Missouri banks and bank holding companies, provided their home states
have similar laws. Colorado and all of the eight states contiguous to Missouri
have passed similar legislation.

There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which a bank holding
company and certain of its non-bank subsidiaries can borrow or otherwise obtain
credit from its bank subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries are also
subject to certain restrictions on issuance, underwriting and distribution of
securities.

Nine of the affiliate banks are national banks and are subject to
supervision and examination by the Comptroller of the Currency. United Missouri
Bank, U.S.A. is chartered under the state banking laws of Delaware and is
subject to supervision and regular examination by the Office of the State Bank
Commissioner of Delaware. One of the affiliate banks is chartered under the
state banking laws of Illinois and is subject to supervision and regular
examination by the Office of the Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies of
Illinois. One of the affiliate banks is chartered under the state banking laws
of Colorado and is subject to supervision and regular examination by the Office
of the State Bank Commissioner of Colorado. Seven of the affiliate banks are
chartered under the state banking laws of Kansas and are subject to supervision
and regular examination by the Kansas Banking Department. The remaining 12 banks
are chartered under the state banking laws of Missouri and are subject to
supervision and regular examination by the Office of the Commissioner of Finance
of Missouri. In addition, the national banks and the one state bank that are
members of the Federal Reserve System are subject to examination by that agency.
All affiliate banks are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
and as such, are subject to examination thereby.

United Missouri Brokerage Services, Inc. is subject to supervision and
regulation by the National Association of Securities Dealers. This subsidiary is
also a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

Information regarding capital adequacy standards of Federal banking
regulators is included on pages A-28 through A-30 of the attached Appendix, and
is incorporated herein by reference.

Information regarding dividend restrictions is on pages A-12 and A-17 of
the attached Appendix, incorporated herein by reference.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies of United Missouri Bancshares, Inc. and its
subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to
the banking industry. Following is a summary of the more significant accounting
policies to assist the reader in understanding the financial presentation.

CONSOLIDATION -- All subsidiaries are included in the financial statements.
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated where significant.

ACQUISITIONS -- Banks acquired and recorded under the purchase method are
recorded at the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date,
and results of operations are included from that date. Excess of purchase price
over the value of net assets acquired is recorded as premiums on purchased
banks. Premiums on purchases prior to 1982 are being amortized ratably over 40
years. Premiums on purchases in 1982 and after are being amortized ratably over
15 years. Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized ratably over 10
years.

LOANS -- Interest on discount loans is recorded on a method that
approximates income at a level rate of return on the principal amount
outstanding over the term of the loan. Interest on all other loans is recognized
based on the rate times the principal amount outstanding. Interest accrual is
discontinued when, in the opinion of management, the likelihood of collection
becomes doubtful.

Affiliate banks enter into lease financing transactions that are generally
recorded under the financing method of accounting. Income is recognized on a
basis that results in an approximately level rate of return over the life of the
lease.

Annual bankcard fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
period that cardholders may use the card.

The adequacy of the allowance is based on management's continuing
evaluation of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan
portfolio, including actual loan loss experience, current and anticipated
economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full
collectability may not be assured and determination of the existence and
realizable value of the collateral and guarantees securing such loans. The
actual losses, notwithstanding such considerations, however, could differ
significantly from the amounts estimated by management.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE -- Prior to 1992, the Company acquired debt
securities with the intent to hold to maturity. Accordingly, such securities
were carried at amortized cost.

Effective December 31, 1992, the company classified certain debt securities
as securities available for sale. These securities are considered part of the
company's asset/liability management program that may be sold in response to
changes in interest rates, prepayments, or capital or liquidity needs.

Debt securities available for sale include principally U.S. Treasury and
agency securities and mortgage-backed securities. Until December 31, 1993,
securities available for sale were carried at the lower of aggregate amortized
cost or market value.

Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities." Accordingly, equity securities and debt securities
available for sale are measured at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and
losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity until realized. Realized gains and losses on sales are
computed by the specific identification method at the time of disposition and
are shown separately as a component of noninterest income.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 115, marketable equity securities, owned
primarily by the parent company, were carried at the lower of aggregate cost or
market value.

UNITED MISSOURI BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- Investment securities are carried at amortized
historical cost based on management's intention, and the Company's ability, to
hold them to maturity. The Company classifies securities of state and political
subdivisions as investment securities. Certain significant unforeseeable changes
in circumstances may cause a change in the intent to hold these securities to
maturity. For example, such changes may include a deterioration in the issuer's
creditworthiness that is expected to continue or a change in tax law that
eliminates the tax-exempt status of interest on the security. Once a
determination has been made that securities will be sold, such securities are
classified as securities available for sale. Gains and losses on sales are
computed by the specific identification method at the time of disposition and
are shown separately as a component of noninterest income.

TRADING SECURITIES -- Trading securities, generally acquired for subsequent
sale to customers, are carried at market value. Market adjustments, fees and
gains or losses on the sale of trading securities are considered to be a normal
part of operations and are included in trading and investment banking income.
Interest income on trading securities is included in income from earning assets.

TAXES -- The Company recognizes certain income and expenses in different
time periods for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The provision for
deferred income taxes is based on the liability method and represents the change
in the deferred income tax accounts during the year, including the effect of
enacted tax rate changes.

PER SHARE DATA -- Earnings per share are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The
dilutive effect of shares issuable under stock options granted by the Company is
immaterial.

RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain reclassifications were made to the 1992 and
1991 financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

INDUSTRY SEGMENT REPORTING -- The Company operates principally in a single
business segment offering general commercial banking services.

ACCOUNTING CHANGES

ACCOUNTING FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS -- The Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." This Statement, effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992, requires accrual of
postretirement benefits (such as health care benefits) during the years an
employee provides services. The Company does not provide any such postretirement
benefits and, consequently, adoption of this Statement did not affect its
financial position or results of operations.

ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES -- The Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This Statement superseded
SFAS No. 96, by the same title, which the Company had adopted in 1989. SFAS No.
109 reduces the complexity of SFAS No. 96 and changes the criteria for
recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets. SFAS No. 109 was adopted by
the Company in 1993 and did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS -- The Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." This Statement, which becomes effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1993, establishes accounting standards for
employers who provide certain benefits to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement. The Company does not provide any such
postemployment benefits and, consequently, adoption of this Statement will not
affect its financial position or results of operations.

ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN -- The Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan." This Statement, which becomes

A-7
19

UNITED MISSOURI BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, will require that
impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, at the loan's observable
market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. The impact of the Statement on the Company has not yet been
determined, although the effects are not expected to be material in relation to
the consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS

On May 1, 1991, the Company acquired Valley Bank Holding Company, the
one-bank holding company of Valley Bank, Colorado Springs, Colorado (now UMB
Bank Colorado). In exchange for all of the shares of the holding company, the
Company paid $4.0 million in cash and other consideration. The acquisition of
this $44 million bank was recorded as a purchase, with $1.3 million recorded as
premium on purchased bank.

On December 11, 1991, the Company acquired National Bank of the West,
Colorado Springs, Colorado (renamed UMB Bank of the West). In exchange for all
of the shares of the bank, the Company paid $1.9 million in cash and other
consideration. The acquisition of this $17 million bank was recorded as a
purchase, with $1.0 million recorded as premium on purchased bank. On April 30,
1993, UMB Bank of the West was merged into UMB Bank Colorado.

On January 23, 1992, the Company acquired Columbine National Bank, Denver,
Colorado (now UMB Columbine National Bank). The Company paid $9.1 million in
cash for all the shares of the bank's holding company, The Village Corporation,
as well as the minority holdings of bank stock. The acquisition of this $62
million bank was recorded as a purchase, with $2.0 million recorded as premium
on purchased bank.

These acquisitions are not deemed to be material in relation to the
consolidated results of the Company.

The cash portion of the purchase prices was obtained principally through
the issuance of debt by the Company. On February 24, 1993, the Company issued
$10,000,000 in medium-term notes due 2000 at 6.81% and $15,000,000 in
medium-term notes due 2003 at 7.30%.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers
and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit,
commercial letters of credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate caps and
floors written, and forward and futures contracts. Those instruments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional
amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has
in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit,
commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the
contract or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments. For interest rate caps, floors, and forward and
futures contracts, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure to
credit loss. The Company controls the credit risk of its forward and futures
contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the agreement. These
conditions generally include, but are not limited to, each customer being
current as to repayment terms of existing loans and no deterioration in the
customer's financial condition. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The
interest rate is generally a variable, or floating, interest rate. If the
commitment has a fixed interest rate, the rate is generally not set until such
time as credit is extended. For its credit card customers, the Company has the
right to change or terminate any terms or conditions of the credit card account
at any time. Since some of the commitments and unused credit card lines are
never actually drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on an individual basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if
deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on
management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, real estate, plant and equipment, stock, securities and
certificates of deposit.

Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate trade or
commerce. Under the terms of a commercial letter of credit, as a general rule,
drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction is consummated as intended.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the
same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company
holds collateral supporting those commitments when deemed necessary. Collateral
varies but may include such items as those described for commitments to extend
credit.

Forward and futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of
securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make
delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument at a specified
yield. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the
terms of their contracts and from movements in securities values and interest
rates. Instruments used in trading activities are carried at market value. Any
changes in the market value are recognized in trading and investment banking
income.

Interest rate caps and floors written by the Company enable customers to
transfer, modify or reduce their interest rate risk.

With respect to group concentrations of credit risk, most of the Company's
business activity is with customers in the states of Missouri, Kansas, Colorado
and Illinois. At December 31, 1993, the Company did not have any significant
credit concentrations in any particular industry.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Payment of dividends by the affiliate banks to the parent company is
subject to various regulatory restrictions. For national banks, state banks that
are Federal Reserve members and state banks in Colorado, the governing
regulatory agency must approve the declaration of any dividends generally in
excess of the sum of net income for that year and retained net income for the
preceding two years. The state banks in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois are
subject to state laws permitting dividends to be declared from retained
earnings, provided certain specified capital requirements are met. At December
31, 1993, approximately $38,892,000 of the equity of the affiliate banks was
available for distribution as dividends to the parent company without prior
regulatory approval or without reducing the capital of the respective affiliate
banks below prudent levels.

The Company is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total
risk weighted assets, as defined by the banking regulators. At December 31,
1993, the Company is required to have minimum Tier 1 and Total capital ratios of
4.00% and 8.00%, respectively. The Company's actual ratios at that date were
17.09% and 18.50%, respectively. The Company's leverage ratio at December 31,
1993, was 7.59%.

Certain affiliate banks maintain reserve balances with the Federal Reserve
Bank as required by law. During 1993, this amount averaged $94,577,000.

LOANS TO MANAGEMENT

Certain Company and principal affiliate bank executive officers and
directors, including companies in which those persons are principal holders of
equity securities or are general partners, borrow in the normal course of
business from affiliate banks of the Company. All such loans have been made on
the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at
the same time for comparable transactions with other persons. In addition, all
such loans are current as to repayment terms. For the years 1993, 1992 and

The long-term debt represents direct, unsecured obligations of the parent
company. The senior notes due 2000 and 2003 cannot be redeemed prior to stated
maturity. The senior notes due 1996 require annual redemptions of $3,572,000.
Optional prepayments without premiums were made on the senior notes due 1996 of
$2,678,000 in 1993 and $3,572,000 in 1992. The senior notes due 1999 require
annual redemptions of $3,000,000 beginning in 1995. The 7.50% notes that mature
in 1997 require annual principal payments of $1,546,000. The senior notes
contain financial covenants relating to the issuance of additional debt, payment
of dividends, reacquisition of common stock and maintenance of minimum tangible
capital. Under the most restrictive covenant, approximately $80,113,000 was
available for the payment of dividends at December 31, 1993.

The Company enters into sales of securities with simultaneous agreements to
repurchase ("repurchase agreements"). The amounts received under these
agreements represent short-term borrowings and are reflected as a separate item

was $598,872,000 (with accrued interest payable of $1,654,000). Of that amount,
$119,785,000 represented sales of securities in which the securities were
obtained under reverse repurchase agreements ("resell agreements"). The
remainder of $479,087,000 represented sales of U.S. Treasury securities obtained

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company has a noncontributory profit sharing plan, which features an
employee stock ownership plan. These plans are for the benefit of substantially
all officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Contributions to
these plans for the years 1993, 1992 and 1991 were $3,542,000, $3,317,000 and
$2,972,000, respectively.

The Company has a qualified 401(k) profit sharing plan that permits
participants to make contributions by salary reduction. The Company does not
make contributions to this plan.

Substantially all officers and employees are covered by a noncontributory
defined benefit pension plan. Under the plan, retirement benefits are based on
years of service and the average of the employee's highest 120 consecutive
months of compensation. The Company's funding policy is to contribute annually
the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes.
Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to
service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. To the
extent that these requirements are fully covered by assets in the plan, a
contribution may not be made in a particular year.

The following items are components of the net periodic pension income for
the three years ended December 31, 1993 (in thousands):

On April 16, 1992, the shareholders of the Company approved the 1992
Incentive Stock Option Plan ("the 1992 Plan"), which provides incentive options
to certain key employees for up to 500,000 common shares of the Company. The
options are not exercisable for two years from the date of the grant and are
thereafter exercisable for such periods as the Board of Directors, or a

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether
or not recognized in the balance sheet. The following methods and assumptions
were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for
which it is practicable to estimate that value:

CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The carrying amounts of cash and due
from banks, federal funds sold and resell agreements are reasonable estimates of
their fair values.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND INVESTMENT SECURITIES -- Fair values are
based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market
price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for
similar securities.

TRADING SECURITIES -- Fair values for trading securities (including
off-balance-sheet instruments), which also are the amounts recognized in the
balance sheet, are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted
market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices
for similar securities.

LOANS -- Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial
characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial, real estate,
consumer, and credit card. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed
and variable interest rate categories. The fair value of loans is estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same
remaining maturities.

DEPOSIT LIABILITIES -- The fair value of demand deposits and savings
accounts is the amount payable on demand at December 31, 1993 and 1992. The fair
value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the
future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar
remaining maturities.

SHORT-TERM DEBT -- The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased,
repurchase agreements and other short-term debt are reasonable estimates of
their fair values.

LONG-TERM DEBT -- Rates currently available to the Company for debt with
similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of
existing debt.

A-22

UNITED MISSOURI BANCSHARES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS -- The fair value of a loan commitment and a
letter of credit is determined based on the fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and
the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. Neither the fees earned
during the year or these instruments or their fair value at year-end are
significant to the Company's consolidated financial position.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, are as follows (in thousands):

1991, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of United Missouri Bancshares,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

OVERVIEW

Financial highlights for United Missouri Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company")
for 1993 included:

- net income of $41.1 million, up 4.5% from 1992;

- assets exceeded $6.5 billion at December 31, 1993, an increase of 30.5%
from one year earlier, attributable to the Company's expansion into
Kansas;

- excellent credit quality, with only 0.3% of the loan portfolio classified
as nonperforming at year-end 1993;

- strong capital adequacy, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 18.5%
at December 31, 1993, compared to a regulatory minimum of 8%; and

- fee-based services contributed 43.4% of net revenues for 1993, reflecting
the Company's diverse financial services, which include trust, securities
processing, bond trading, cash management and credit cards.

EXPANSION INTO KANSAS

During 1993, the Company expanded significantly into Kansas. Twelve banks
were added to the UMB family between March 26, 1993 and June 25, 1993 (the
"Kansas banks"). The Kansas banks added assets of $1.3 billion, helping increase
the size of the Company by 30.5%. The Kansas banks are strategically located
around Interstate 70. This complements our "I-70 corridor" of affiliates,
stretching from Denver in the West across Kansas and Missouri to the Metro East
St. Louis area in Illinois.

Additionally, two of the larger Kansas bank acquisitions, UMB Overland Park
Bank and UMB Commercial National Bank give us a meaningful presence in Johnson
County. Johnson County is one of the highest per capita income counties in the
country and lies just over the state line from the Company's headquarters in
Kansas City, Missouri.

The state of Kansas opened its doors to regional interstate banking
effective on July 1, 1992. Even in advance of that date, the Company was either
approaching, or being approached by, several good performing Kansas banks about
possible affiliations. Cross-ownership already existed with UMB Overland Park
Bank and the CNB Financial Corporation group of banks. Management of the Company
made the decision to reach critical mass in Kansas as quickly as possible.
Meaningful market share was felt to be desirable to achieve long-term
profitability.

The total purchase price of the Kansas bank acquisitions was $178.0
million. The consideration given in acquiring these banks consisted of
approximately 3.9 million shares of Company common stock and $26.6 million in
cash. Generally, stock was required in all but one of the acquisitions to meet
sellers' demands for largely tax-free transactions. The source of the cash was a
$25 million public debt offering of seven and ten year notes at a blended rate
of approximately 7.1%. Each of the acquisitions was accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting, in which the earnings of the acquired bank were
added into the consolidated results of operations from the respective date of
acquisition. Additionally, the purchase price for each bank was allocated to
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at
date of acquisition. An intangible asset of $12.8 million for the value of the
core deposits was recorded and the remaining excess of the purchase prices over
the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the amount of
$51.9 million. These intangible assets are being amortized over periods of 10
and 15 years, respectively.

The amortization expense associated with the intangible assets has impacted
the earnings of the Kansas banks and their contribution to the Company's results
of operations. Earnings per share were further diluted by the shares issued to
effect these transactions. The dilution in the Company's earnings per share for
1993 as a result of the Kansas bank acquisitions is estimated to be $0.28 per
share, or 9.8%.

The Company is actively pursuing a variety of strategies to eliminate the
earnings dilution as quickly as possible. These strategies include converting
the Kansas banks to the Company's data processing systems; merging the 12 banks
into two banks (Salina and Kansas City, Kansas); consolidating bookkeeping and
other

A-27
39

back room operations; and eliminating redundant functions, such as trust
services, credit card processing and bond portfolio administration.

ROA ANALYSIS

Return on average assets (ROA) was 0.71% for 1993, compared to 0.85% for
1992. The Company's ROA has benefited from relatively low loan loss provisions
as well as the noninterest income generated by fee services. Offsetting these
factors are the Company's overhead and net interest margin.

TABLE 1: ANALYSIS OF RETURN ON ASSETS

The table below expresses each component of net income as a percentage of
average assets.

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


Noninterest expense, or overhead, was 4.0% of average assets in 1993 and
1992. The staffing and automation to support the Company's fee services
contribute to overhead. Plans currently under way to reduce noninterest expenses
in the Kansas banks should have a favorable impact on ROA in 1994 and subsequent
years.

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) as a percent of average assets leveled
off at 2.95% in 1993 compared to 1992, after following a downward trend the
three previous years. Relative to other banks, the Company has a more liquid
balance sheet and a higher percentage of its earning assets represented by
securities. Through much of the five-year period 1989 through 1993, market
interest rates steadily declined and loan demand was sluggish. The Company was
investing the monies from maturing securities and deposit growth into new
securities at lower yields. As a consequence, net interest income contributed
less and less to earnings and the Company's ROA.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1992, the effects of the Company's
emphasis on business development and loan generation could be seen. These
efforts, coupled with a strengthening economy, produced loan growth in 1993. A
second step to stabilize and improve net interest income was a repositioning of
the securities portfolio in December 1992. At that time, the Company's affiliate
banks sold approximately $906.3 million of short-term securities prior to
scheduled maturity dates. Securities sold were short-term U.S. Treasury
obligations, most of which were scheduled to mature in 1993. The proceeds of
these sales were reinvested in other securities with similar characteristics,
with maturities in 1994, 1995 and 1996. These transactions resulted in net
realized securities gains of $4.2 million. At December 31, 1992, the average
maturity of the securities portfolio, reflective of the repositioning, was 1
year and 10 months, compared to only 11 months at December 31, 1991.

At December 31, 1993, the average maturity of the securities portfolio had
lengthened slightly to about 2 years, due to relatively longer-term
mortgage-backed securities included in the portfolios of the Kansas banks. Some
additional repositioning of the securities portfolio by management is
anticipated in 1994, as the Company continues to actively manage its securities
portfolio to improve its yield and contribution to earnings.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Management of the Company has consistently maintained a strong capital
position, believing it essential for operating a safe and sound financial
institution and safeguarding the funds entrusted to it by customers and
shareholders. At December 31, 1993, shareholders' equity was $586.6 million, up
$186.9 million or 46.8% from

A-28
40

$399.7 million at year-end 1992. The net increase in shareholders' equity as a
result of the stock issued in acquiring the Kansas banks was $148.9 million. The
equity to asset ratio was 9.0% and 8.0% at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

Risk-based capital guidelines established by regulatory agencies set
minimum capital standards based on the level of risk associated with a financial
institution's assets. A financial institution's total capital is required to
equal 8% of risk-weighted assets. At least half of that 8% must consist of Tier
1 core capital, and the remainder may be Tier 2 supplementary capital.

The risk-based capital guidelines indicate the specific risk weightings by
type of asset. Certain off-balance sheet items (such as standby letters of
credit and binding loan commitments) are multiplied by "credit conversion
factors" to translate them into balance sheet equivalents before assigning them
specific risk weightings. Due to the Company's high level of core capital and
substantial portion of earning assets invested in riskless government
securities, the Tier 1 capital ratio of 17.1% and Total capital ratio of 18.5%
substantially exceed the regulatory minimums.

ASSET QUALITY

LOANS

The quality of the Company's loan portfolio remains strong. A primary
measure of the effectiveness of credit risk management is the percentage of the
loan portfolio that is classified as nonperforming. Nonperforming loans include
nonaccrual loans and restructured loans. The Company's nonperforming loans

A-30
42

totaled $7.2 million at December 31, 1993, representing only 0.3% of the loan
portfolio, compared to $3.1 million and 0.2% one year earlier. At year-end 1993,
the Kansas banks held $5.7 million in nonperforming loans, or 1.2% of the loans
in their combined loan portfolio. The Company's nonperforming loans have not
exceeded 0.5% of total loans in each of the last five years.

- -------------------------
* Includes in-substance foreclosures.

Nonperforming assets include foreclosed real estate with the nonaccrual and
restructured loans. The Company's nonperforming asset ratio (nonperforming
assets divided by loans plus foreclosed real estate) was 0.7% at December 31,
1993 and December 31, 1992.

Key factors of the Company's loan quality program are a sound credit policy
combined with periodic and independent credit reviews. All affiliate banks
operate under written loan policies. Credit decisions continue to be based on
the borrower's cash flow position and the value of underlying collateral, as
well as other relevant factors. Each bank is responsible for evaluating its
loans by using a ranking system. In addition, the Company has an internal loan
review staff that operates independent of the affiliate banks. This review team
performs periodic examinations of each bank's loans for credit quality,
documentation and loan administration.

Another means of ensuring loan quality is diversification. By keeping its
loan portfolio diversified, the Company has avoided problems associated with
undue concentrations of loans within particular industries. Commercial real
estate loans comprise 12.9% of total loans, with a history of no significant
losses. The Company has no significant exposure to highly leveraged transactions
and has no foreign credits in its loan portfolio.

A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when payments are past due
90 days or more and when management has considerable doubt about the borrower's
ability to repay on the terms originally contracted. The accrual of interest is
discontinued and recorded thereafter only when actually received in cash. At
year-end 1993, $210,000 of interest due was not recorded as earned, compared to
$168,000 for the prior year.

Certain loans are restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of
interest or principal because of deterioration in the financial condition of the
respective borrowers. Management estimates that approximately $35,000 of
additional interest would have been earned in 1993 if the terms of these loans
were similar to other comparable loans.

In certain instances, the Company continues to accrue interest on loans
past due 90 days or more. Though the loan payments are delinquent, collection of
interest and principal is expected to resume and sufficient collateral is
believed to exist to protect the Company from significant loss. Consequently,
management

A-31
43

considers the ultimate collection of these loans to be reasonable and has
recorded $214,000 of interest due as earned for 1993. The comparative figure for
1992 was $123,000.

In addition to the loans discussed above, management has identified through
its loan ranking system $1,781,000 of potential problem loans. Though the loan
payments are current, the borrowers' abilities to comply with the stated terms
are questioned. Each of these loans is subject to constant management attention,
and its classification is reviewed periodically.

Other real estate that has been acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure
and certain "in-substance" foreclosures have a total carrying value of $7.2
million, which approximates market value, at year-end 1993. The largest real
estate parcel is in Kansas City and represents an in-substance foreclosure of
$5.2 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 1992. Of the remaining 22
parcels, 19 are in Kansas and total $1.3 million.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb potential losses in
the loan portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense
and is reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries.

The Company's allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1993, was $35.6
million, 1.7% of total loans, compared to $24.5 million, 1.7% of total loans,
one year earlier. The allowance at year-end 1993 was 4.9 times the total of
nonperforming loans, exceeding the dollar amount of those loans by $28.4
million. Included in the Company's allowance figure at December 31, 1993, was an
allowance of $11.4 million recorded by the Kansas banks representing 2.3% of
their combined loans and 2.0 times the total of their nonperforming loans.

Net loan charge-offs decreased to $4.3 million in 1993 from $5.0 million in
1992. The 1992 net charge-off figure included principal of $506,000 and interest
of $373,000 charged against the allowance in recording an in-substance
foreclosure of $5.2 million. The net charge-off ratio was 0.24% for 1993 and
0.37% for 1992.

The provision for loan losses was $3.3 million in 1993 and $3.0 million in
1992. During the past five years, due to the consistency in the quality of the
Company's loan portfolio, management has been able to record provisions less
than the amount of actual net charge-offs and still maintain the allowance at
adequate levels. Absent any significant deterioration in the loan portfolio,
management anticipates that the loan loss provision for 1994 should not
materially exceed the provision recorded in 1993.

The adequacy of the allowance is based on management's continuing
evaluation of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan
portfolio, including actual loan loss experience, current and anticipated
economic conditions, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full
collectability may not be assured and determination of the existence and
realizable value of the collateral and guarantees securing such loans. The
actual losses, notwithstanding such considerations, however, could differ
significantly from the amounts estimated by management.

SECURITIES

During 1993, the Company's securities portfolio comprised 55.8% of total
average earning assets. As discussed previously, the average maturity of the
securities portfolio was about 2 years at December 31, 1993, compared to 1 year
and 10 months at December 31, 1992, and 11 months at December 31, 1991.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard
in 1993 that requires companies to value securities available for sale at
current market prices, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a
net amount in a separate component of shareholders' equity (net of a deferred
tax liability). The Company elected to adopt this accounting standard early,
effective December 31, 1993.

Securities available for sale include securities considered part of the
Company's asset/liability management that may be sold in response to changes in
interest rates, prepayments, or capital or liquidity needs. This category
includes principally U.S. Treasury and agency securities and mortgage-backed
securities. At December 31, 1993, securities available for sale had an aggregate
amortized cost of $2.68 billion and fair value of $2.70 billion. The amount of
the related net unrealized holding gain reported in equity at year-end 1993 was
$14.3 million.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, the principal source of earnings, is the difference
between the interest income generated by earning assets and the total interest
cost of the liabilities obtained to fund them. Net interest income in 1993 was
$163.5 million, compared to $129.6 million in 1992. However, to provide
comparability among the types of interest earned, the following discussion of
net interest income is on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis, which adjusts for
the tax-exempt status of certain municipal securities and loans. The reported
interest income for these tax-free assets is increased by the amount of the
income tax savings, less the additional taxes for the nondeductible portion of
interest expense incurred to acquire the tax-free assets.

Measured on a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income in 1993 increased
$33.8 million to $170.3 million, an increase of 24.7% from 1992. The Kansas
banks contributed $25.0 million in tax-equivalent net interest income.

Net interest margin measures the Company's ability to generate net interest
income. It is defined as net interest income (FTE) as a percent of earning
assets. The behavior of the margin depends on the interaction of three factors:
1) net interest spread (defined as the difference between the yield on earning
assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities); 2) yield earned on
assets funded by interest-free funding sources (primarily noninterest-bearing
demand deposits and equity capital); and 3) percentage of earning assets funded
by interest-free funding sources.

During 1993, the economy continued to strengthen modestly. Certain monetary
actions of the Federal Reserve Board over the last four years had cut short-term
rates (as measured by the federal funds rate) from 10% to the current level of
3%, a level that was steady throughout much of 1993. The actions of the Federal
Reserve did not impact long-term rates until 1993, when these rates fell
throughout the year.

A-35
47

The Company's cost of funds decreased from 3.82% in 1992 to 3.05% in 1993,
a reduction of 77 basis points. However, the Company's yield on earning assets
also decreased, from 6.63% in 1992 to 5.92% in 1993, a decrease of 71 basis
points. As a consequence, the Company's net interest spread improved from 2.81%
in 1992 to 2.87% in 1993. However, net interest margin remained level at 3.48%,
as interest-free funds were invested at lower market rates in 1993 compared to
1992. Management believes the repositioning of the securities portfolio in
December 1992 helped stabilize the margin and improve the spread. Additionally,
loan growth has resulted in loans constituting a higher percentage of average
earning assets, 36.5% in 1993 compared to 34.1% in 1992.

The Company expects its spread and margin to improve in 1994 as a result of
the active management of the securities portfolio and a noted increase in
quality loan demand.

TABLE 9: TAX-EQUIVALENT RATE-VOLUME ANALYSIS

This analysis attributes changes in net interest income on a tax-equivalent
basis either to changes in average balances or to changes in average rates for
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The change in interest due
jointly to volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate in proportion
to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of change in each. All
information is presented on a tax-equivalent basis and gives effect to the
disallowance of interest expense, for federal income tax purposes, related to
certain tax-free assets.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Management has stressed the importance of growth of noninterest income to
enhance the Company's profitability. Fee-based services, being non-credit
related, provide generally steady income and are not affected by the rise and
fall in interest rates. These activities are also relatively low-risk and do not
impact the Company's regulatory capital needs. Fee-based services that have been
emphasized include trust and securities processing, securities trading, cash
management and credit cards. Fee income (exclusive of net

A-37
49

security gains) as a percent of adjusted operating revenues has increased from
38.4% in 1989 to 43.4% in 1993. Adjusted operating revenues is defined as
tax-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding net
security gains.

Noninterest income, exclusive of net security gains, increased to $130.5
million in 1993 from $108.2 million in 1992, an increase of 20.6%. The Kansas
banks contributed $9.0 million in noninterest income, which included $3.7
million in service charges and other fees, $2.5 million in trust fees and $1.6
million in data processing fees.

Trust income is the largest component of noninterest income and increased
17.2% to $32.0 million in 1993 from $27.3 million in 1992. The continuing
improvement in trust income is evidence of increased business activity and
marketing efforts. The aggregate value of managed trust assets at December 31,
1993, was $8.7 billion, compared to $7.5 billion for December 31, 1992. The
managed trust assets of the Kansas banks approximated $800 million.

The Company's custodial trust business, principally from the mutual funds
industry, continued to grow in 1993. Total trust assets under custody at
December 31, 1993, were $178.4 billion, up from $150.6 billion one year earlier,
due to both new customers and increases in the funds of existing customers. The
custodial trust assets of the Kansas banks approximated $300 million. Securities
processing income, which is derived from the custodial business, was $13.3
million for 1993, compared to $13.7 million for 1992. The variance between years
reflects some mutual fund customers maintaining deposit balances in lieu of
paying fees and some adjustments in pricing to meet competition.

Trading and investment banking income increased 9.0% to $13.6 million in
1993. The increase was generated through increased business development efforts
in new markets and increased sales of mortgage-backed and tax-exempt securities
to correspondent bank customers and retail investors.

Service charges on deposits for 1993 were $30.2 million, an increase of
25.4% from 1992, reflecting the contribution of $3.2 million by the Kansas
banks, higher transaction volumes and higher occurrences of fees paid in lieu of
compensating balances. Additionally, adjustments to fee schedules were made
mid-year 1993 in conjunction with modifications to our deposit products to meet
the requirements of consumer banking legislation that became effective at that
time. Other service charges and fees grew 44.7% to $14.1 million, resulting from
increased sales of cash management services to mutual fund and corporate
customers. In October 1992, the Company began providing check processing and
related cash management services for the Fidelity mutual funds.

Bankcard fees for 1993 were $22.4 million, compared to $18.3 million for
1992, an increase of 22.9%. The increase in bankcard fees was due to a higher
volume of credit card transactions processed for merchants. Other noninterest
income increased in 1993 to $4.7 million from $2.5 million in 1992. The increase
was principally due to $1.6 million in data processing fees generated by two of
the Kansas banks.

Realized net security gains were $1.6 million in 1993 and $5.3 million in
1992. In 1992, $4.2 million of the net security gains were attributable to the
repositioning of the Company's securities portfolio, as discussed earlier. In
1993, approximately $714,000 of security gains were recognized in the fourth
quarter from the sales of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities occurring in
the first three months of 1994. The remaining 1993 gains resulted from the sales
of various equity securities.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense rose to $231.0 million in 1993, a 24.9% increase from
1992. Without the Kansas banks, the increase in noninterest expense was 9.2%
between years. Principally due to the Kansas bank acquisitions, the net overhead
ratio increased to 33.4% in 1993, up from 31.4% in 1992. Without the Kansas
banks, the net overhead ratio was 30.2% for 1993. The net overhead ratio is
defined as the difference between noninterest expense and noninterest income
(excluding net security gains) as a percent of adjusted operating revenues.
During 1994, the Company will continue to work toward consolidating certain
operations and eliminating redundant costs as the Kansas banks are assimilated
into the Company.

Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of
noninterest expense, increased $18.5 million, or 21.0%, to $106.3 million.
Approximately $13.1 million of the increase was due to the Kansas banks. The
balance of the increase was attributable to merit increases and increased
hospitalization and medical expenses.

Equipment expense increased 29.0% in 1993 to $20.3 million. The increase
without the Kansas banks was 11.6% and was due to a full year's depreciation on
1992 investments in a new computer mainframe and other data processing
equipment, and a new check imaging system. In 1993, a new bond trading system
was implemented at the principal affiliate bank in Kansas City. Additionally,
the data processing equipment used by the Salina bank affiliate in serving its
correspondent bank customers was upgraded.

Supplies and services expense increased 20.4% to $17.4 million, reflecting
more customer mailings and form revisions in conjunction with the bank
acquisitions.

Bankcard processing expense increased 16.7% to $18.7 million in 1993 from
$16.0 million in 1992. This increase was attributed to higher merchant
authorization expenses from processing a greater volume of transactions.

Marketing and business development expenses were $13.6 million in 1993,
compared to $10.6 million in 1992. These expenses increased in 1993 due to the
Kansas bank acquisitions, a campaign for new loans as well as deposit product
modifications resulting from new consumer banking regulations.

Other noninterest expense in 1993 was $23.6 million, compared to $17.3
million in 1992, an increase of $6.3 million, or 36.4%. Approximately $3.2
million of the increase relates to the Kansas banks. The remaining increase was
primarily attributable to higher outside data processing fees paid by the
Company to service its mutual fund customers and higher check processing and
wire transfer fees resulting from increased business.

INCOME TAXES

The increase in the corporate tax rate from 34% to 35% was effective
January 1, 1993. The Company's effective federal tax rate on income was 30.2% in
1993, 26.7% in 1992 and 23.2% in 1991. The Company's tax-exempt income as a
percent of pre-tax income was 23.2% in 1993, 28.3% in 1992 and 40.8% in 1991.

The major difference between the effective federal tax rates and the
federal statutory rate of 35% in 1993 and 34% in 1992 and 1991 results from
tax-exempt interest income on state and political subdivision securities. Since
this interest is not subject to federal income tax, the states and political
subdivisions are able to issue these obligations at lower interest rates.
Accordingly, the Company and other holders of such securities give up additional
interest income that could have been earned on similar taxable investments.
Management

estimates that tax-exempt interest decreased the Company's effective tax rates
for 1993, 1992 and 1991 by 7.2%, 8.6% and 11.9%, respectively.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity represents the ability of the Company to provide a continuing
flow of funds to meet its financial commitments and the borrowing needs and
deposit withdrawal requirements of its customers. Liquidity is primarily
provided through the regularly scheduled maturities of assets and $2.7 billion
of high-quality securities available for sale. Maturities in the loan portfolio
also provide a steady flow of funds, and strict adherence to credit standards
helps ensure the collection of those loans. At December 31, 1993, loans of $1.08
billion, representing 49.9% of total loans, were due to mature in one year or
less. The overall liquidity of the Company is also enhanced by its net federal
funds sold position and significant amount of core deposits.

TABLE 11: RATE SENSITIVITY AND MATURITY OF LOANS

The following table presents the rate sensitivity of certain loans maturing
after 1994 compared with the total loan portfolio as of December 31, 1993. Of
the $1,082,723,000 of loans due after 1994, $615,417,000 are to individuals for
the purchase of residential dwellings and other consumer goods. The remaining
$467,306,000 is for all other purposes and reflects maturities of $380,524,000
in 1995 through 1998 and $86,782,000 after 1998.

The parent company's cash requirements consist primarily of dividends to
shareholders and principal and interest payments on debt. These cash needs are
routinely satisfied by dividends and management fees collected from the
affiliate banks. The parent company's long-term debt position is modest and
compares favorably with its peer group. Principal and interest payments on this
debt total approximately $9.1 million for 1994. Projected cash flows are
adequate to service the debt, given the strong capital levels and continued
profitable operations of the affiliate banks.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Interest rate sensitivity indicates a financial institution's potential
earnings exposure to fluctuating interest rates. It is related to liquidity
because each is affected by maturing assets and liabilities. However, interest
rate sensitivity also takes into consideration those assets and liabilities with
interest rates that are subject to change prior to maturity. Interest rate
sensitivity is measured by "gaps," defined as the difference between interest-
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities within specified time frames.
When the gap is positive, with earning assets in excess of interest-bearing
liabilities, net interest income generally improves if interest rates rise. The
opposite effect occurs in the case of a negative gap.

A-40
52

The Company structures the balance sheet to provide for the repricing of
approximately equal amounts of assets and liabilities at the same time. This
strategy helps maintain relative stability in net interest income despite
unpredictable fluctuations in interest rates. Table 12 is a summary statement
that reflects the repricing dates for various assets and liabilities at December
31, 1993. As depicted in Table 12, the cumulative ratio of earning assets to
funding sources for the one year time period was 1.02 at December 31, 1993,
compared to 0.90 at December 31, 1992. Securities available for sale are
included in Table 12 based on scheduled maturity dates. However, these
securities, as described, may be sold as management determines in accordance
with the Company's asset/liability management program.

EARNING ASSETS

Average earning assets in 1993 were $4.9 billion, a 24.8% increase over
1992. Average loans in 1993 were $1.8 billion, up 33.6% from 1992, and accounted
for 36.5% of average earning assets compared to 34.1% for the prior year.
Average securities of $2.7 billion, 29.4% higher than 1992, represented 55.8% of
average earning assets in 1993.

At year-end 1993, loans net of unearned interest were $2.2 billion,
compared to $1.5 billion one year earlier, an increase of 45.6%. The Kansas
banks contributed $508.6 million in loans, distributed as follows: commercial --
$139.5 million; agricultural -- $43.7 million; consumer -- $105.6 million;
bankcard -- $19.9

A-41
53

million; residential real estate -- $80.4 million; and commercial real estate --
$119.5 million. The remainder of the increase in the Company's loans was largely
attributable to growth in the volume of commercial and commercial real estate
loans, as credit demands rose with the strengthening of the economy and from
continued emphasis on business development efforts. The increase was broad-based
and not concentrated by either industry or borrower.

Commercial real estate loans constituted about 12.9% of the loan portfolio
and were $280.1 million at December 31, 1993, compared to $140.3 million at
December 31, 1992. The commercial real estate loan portfolio includes loans
secured by: farmland of $33.3 million; multifamily residential properties of
$15.7 million; construction loans of $19.8 million; and commercial properties of
$211.3 million. The percentage distribution by area of the loans secured by
commercial properties is as follows: 42% in the Kansas City area; 22% in
outstate Kansas; 19% in St. Louis; 10% in outstate Missouri; 5% in Colorado; and
2% in Illinois.

The Company's commercial real estate loans generally do not exceed a
maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80% and the properties are essentially
owner-occupied. Borrower experience and financial capacity are critical factors
in underwriting and approving loan requests. Loan officers remain in close
contact with the borrowers, monitoring the credits and tracking market
conditions.

Consumer-related loans at year-end 1993 were $777.5 million, an increase of
$239.5 million or 44.5% from one year earlier. The increase without the Kansas
banks was $33.6 million or 6.2%. In addition to the

A-42
54

Kansas banks, $15.2 million was added in bankcard loans due to increased
business development efforts. Approximately $22.7 million was added in other
installment loans due to increased demand and additional indirect loans from
automobile dealers and home improvement dealers.

Federal funds transactions essentially are overnight loans between
financial institutions. During the last five years, the Company's banks have
been net sellers of federal funds. The average net sold position for 1993 was
$36.3 million, compared to $153.9 million for 1992.

The Investment Banking Division of the Company's principal affiliate bank
buys and sells federal funds as agent for nonaffiliated banks. Due to the agency
arrangement, these transactions do not appear on the balance sheet and averaged
$776.8 million in 1993 and $764.2 million in 1992.

The Investment Banking Division also maintains an active securities trading
inventory. The average holdings in the securities trading inventory in 1993 were
$58.1 million, compared to $70.5 million in 1992, and were recorded at market
value.

FUNDING SOURCES

Average interest-bearing liabilities in 1993 were $3.9 billion, an increase
of 21.1% over 1992. Interest-bearing deposits accounted for 83.8% of average
interest-bearing liabilities in 1993. Repurchase agreements and
noninterest-bearing demand deposits are the other principal funding sources.

Total deposits averaged $4.6 billion in 1993, up $963.9 million or 26.8%
from 1992. Average deposits for the Kansas banks were approximately $658.2
million and were distributed as follows: noninterest-bearing demand -- $115.9
million; interest bearing demand and savings -- $290.1 million; time deposits
under $100,000 -- $185.2 million; and time deposits of $100,000 or more -- $67.0
million.

Interest-bearing demand and savings deposits represent the largest
component of the Company's total deposits and increased $533.0 million, or
34.2%, to $2.1 billion in 1993 over 1992. During 1993, customers remained wary
of tying up their funds in long-term products at relatively low yields.
Consequently, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits grew while the time
deposits under $100,000 category, without the Kansas bank deposits, decreased
from 1992.

Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits comprised approximately 27.9%
of the deposit base in 1993, up from 26.1% in 1992. This increase reflects
increased balances from both correspondent banks and corporate accounts,
including some compensating balances derived from mutual fund customers.

A-43

Average time deposits of $100,000 or more in 1993 were $236.2 million, or
5.2% of average deposits, compared to $193.3 million and 5.4% in 1992. This
category, exclusive of the Kansas bank deposits, decreased from the prior year
as a result of the Company promoting repurchase agreements in lieu of large time
deposits.

Repurchase agreements amounted to $598.9 million at December 31, 1993,
compared to $529.8 million one year earlier. Repurchase agreements are
transactions involving investment funds that are exchanged for securities with a
commitment by the seller of the securities to repurchase the same or similar
issues at an agreed-upon price and date. The Investment Banking Division buys
and sells repurchase agreements as principal for nonaffiliated banks. These
agreements are reflected on the balance sheet as both an asset (resell
agreement) and a corresponding liability (repurchase agreement), since such
funds are purchased and then sold to approved dealer banks and primary dealers.
The amount of repurchase agreements handled in this manner was $263.2 million at
December 31, 1993, compared to $222.7 million one year earlier.

At year-end 1993, the Company had repurchase agreements of $335.7 million
for its own funding needs, compared to $307.1 million at December 31, 1992.

The Company's other short-term borrowings consist primarily of U.S.
Treasury demand notes. These demand notes represent treasury tax deposits
remitted to the Federal Reserve Bank other than daily. The rate paid on these
funds is 0.25% below the weekly average federal funds rate.

The Company's long-term borrowings consist of four senior note issues and
some installment notes. The Company's ratio of long-term debt to total capital,
a measure of debt capacity, was 8.8% at December 31, 1993, which compares very
favorably with its peer group.

The Company borrowed $25.0 million in 1993 under a medium-term note program
to fund the cash portions of the Kansas bank acquisitions. Of the total, $10.0
million of notes were issued with a seven-year maturity at 6.81% and $15.0
million of notes were issued with a 10-year maturity at 7.30%.

COMPARISON OF 1992 VERSUS 1991

Net income for 1992 was $39.4 million, relatively unchanged from 1991.
Measured on a tax-equivalent basis, net interest income in 1992 was $136.5
million, an increase of 0.4% from 1991. During 1992, as short-term market rates
went down, the rates on interest-bearing funds fell 190 basis points. However,
the yields on earning assets fell 201 basis points due to the lack of quality
loan demand and the reinvestment of funds from maturing securities into similar
securities at yields lower than the preceding year. Consequently, the net
interest spread narrowed to 2.81% in 1992 from 2.92% in 1991. Lower market
interest rates also meant that interest-free funds were invested at lower yields
during 1992. These factors resulted in a decrease in the net interest margin
from 3.82% in 1991 to 3.48% in 1992.

The provision for loan losses was $3.0 million in 1992, compared to $6.0
million in 1991. With average loan volume level in 1992, management was able to
record a provision less than the amount of actual net charge-offs and still
maintain the allowance at an adequate level.

Noninterest income, exclusive of net security gains, increased to $108.2
million in 1992 from $98.6 million in 1991, an increase of 9.7%. Trust fees
increased 10.3% to $27.3 million. Trust assets under management increased to
$7.5 billion at December 31, 1992, from $6.8 billion one year earlier.

Securities processing income was $13.7 million in 1992 and $10.5 million in
1991. The Company's custodial assets increased to $150.6 billion at December 31,
1992, from $119.6 billion at December 31, 1991, due to both new customers and
increases in the funds of existing customers.

Trading and investment banking income increased 2.8% to $12.5 million in
1992, from increased business development efforts in new markets, partially
offset by a decrease in trading volumes resulting from lower interest rates.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased 13.0% to $24.1 million in
1992 from $21.3 million in 1991. This increase reflected higher transaction
volumes and higher occurrences of fees paid in lieu of compensating balances.
Cash management and other service charges and fees increased to $9.7 million in
1992 from $7.1 million in 1991, due to increased sales of cash management
services to mutual fund and corporate customers. In October 1992, the Company
began providing check processing and related cash management services for the
Fidelity mutual funds.

Bankcard fees for 1992 were $18.3 million, compared to $19.4 million for
1991. The decrease was due to reducing annual fees for consumers and a reduction
in discounts charged to merchants to meet competition. Other noninterest income
decreased in 1992 due to gains realized in 1991 on the sales of assets
previously held under lease financing transactions with customers.

Realized net investment security gains were $5.3 million in 1992, compared
to $116,000 in 1991. Of the 1992 gains, $4.2 million were attributable to the
repositioning of the Company's securities portfolio.

Noninterest expense rose to $184.9 million in 1992, 11.6% higher than 1991.
Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $7.1 million, or 8.8%, to $87.9
million. The increase was attributable to Colorado banking offices opened since
May 1991, a higher staffing level from increased business at other existing
locations as well as merit increases.

A-45
57

Net occupancy expense in 1992 of $12.2 million was 11.6% higher than 1991
because of locations added by acquisitions or new branches constructed since May
1991 and renovations of the operations facility in Kansas City. Equipment
expense increased 11.0% in 1992 to $15.8 million due to investments in a new
computer mainframe and other data processing equipment, a new check imaging
system, and additional furniture and equipment expense from the new banking
locations.

Supplies and services expense increased 7.0% to $14.5 million, reflecting
more customer mailings and form revisions in conjunction with the bank mergers
and acquisitions.

Bankcard processing expense increased slightly to $16.0 million in 1992
from $15.8 million in 1991 because of a higher volume of merchant transactions
and costs associated with marketing a new variable rate credit card.

Marketing and business development expense was $10.6 million in 1992,
compared to $8.4 million in 1991. There were advertising expenses in 1992
associated with the new Colorado locations and a Company reidentification
program. Additionally, marketing programs had been curtailed in 1991, resulting
in lower expense.

FDIC insurance and regulatory fees increased 18.4% to $8.6 million in 1992
from $7.2 million in 1991. The FDIC rate for 1992 was 0.23% of domestic
deposits, having been increased from 0.195% effective July 1, 1991.

Other noninterest expense in 1992 was $17.3 million, compared to $12.9
million in 1991, an increase of $4.4 million, or 34.1%. Approximately $1.7
million of the increase relates to outside data processing fees paid by the
Company to service its mutual fund customers. Other factors contributing to this
increase included higher Federal Reserve Bank check processing charges, expenses
associated with foreclosed real estate and an increase in legal and consulting
fees.
