(Net Interest Income continued)

Measured on a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest income totaled $31.6
million for the second quarter of 1996 compared to $32.5 million for the
second quarter of 1995 and $31.7 million in the first quarter of 1996.  Net
interest margin for the second quarter of 1996 was 4.62% compared to 5.08%
for the second quarter of 1995 and 4.62% for the first quarter of 1996. For
the first six months of 1996, net interest income, measured on a fully tax
equivalent basis, totaled $63.3 million compared to $64.8 million for the
second half of 1995.  Net interest margin for the first six months of 1996
was 4.62% compared to 5.16% for the same period last year.  Due to
competitive factors, a decline in the prime rate and increased securities
purchases this year, the net interest margin decline was anticipated.  The
average prime rate for the first six months and the second quarter of 1996
were 62 and 75 basis points, respectively, less than the average prime rate
for the same periods of 1995.  As earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities repriced during 1995 and 1996 with the gradual decline in
interest rates and as the mix of earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities changed between periods, the gross yield on earning assets
decreased 49 basis points for the first six months of 1996 and 58 basis
points for the second quarter of 1996 compared to 1995 levels.  The average
cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 8 basis points for the first
six months of 1996 but decreased 13 basis points for the second quarter of
1996 compared to the same periods last year.  The interest rate spread for
the first six months of 1996 decreased 57 basis points to 3.71% compared to
the same period last year.  The ratio of average interest bearing
liabilities to average earning assets decreased to 80.36% for the first six
months of 1996 compared to 80.66% for the first six months of 1995.  The
interest rate spread for the second quarter of 1996 decreased 45 basis
points to 3.73% compared to the second quarter of 1995.  The ratio of
average interest bearing liabilities to average earning assets decreased to
80.18% for the second quarter of 1996 compared to 80.64% for the same
period in 1995.

Average earning assets totaled $2,748.4 million for the second quarter of
1996 compared to $2,563.5 million for the second quarter of 1995, an
increase of $185.0 million or 7.22%.  Increases in average loan volume
continued with loans averaging $1,997.4 million for the second quarter of
1996 compared to $1,920.2 million for the second quarter of 1995 (an
increase of $77.2 million) and $1,983.4 million for the first quarter of
1996 (an increase of $14.0 million).  Available for sale and held to
maturity securities averaged $695.2 million for the second quarter of 1996,
an increase of $115.4 million compared to the same period last year. 
Average deposit volume for the second quarter of 1996 increased $106.5
million to $2,357.5 million compared to the same period in 1995.  Average
time deposits increased $60.1 million in the second quarter of 1996 as
compared to the second quarter of 1995.  Savings and money market deposits
increased $24.5 million and interest bearing demand deposits increased $5.5
million for the same respective periods.  Non-interest bearing demand
deposits increased $16.4 million and comprised 17.34% of average deposits
for the second quarter of 1996 compared to 17.44% for the same period last
year.  Average long-term debt decreased $16.3 million, primarily due to the
redemption of the 8 1/2% debentures on March 1, 1996.

Non-interest income of $19.471 million increased $1.166 million or 6.37%
for the first six months of 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995. 
Non-interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was
$9.504 million, an increase of $163 thousand from the second quarter of
1995.

Service charges on deposit accounts showed an increase of $588 thousand or
17.21% in the first six months of 1996 as compared to the same period in
1995.  Second quarter 1996 service charges on deposit accounts showed an
increase of $343 thousand from second quarter of last year.  The increase
is attributed to a reduction in the earnings credit rates paid to
commercial accounts to offset the cost of deposit services combined with an
increase in the fee charged for NSF checks. 

Gains totaling $234 thousand on sales of available for sale securities were
realized in the first quarter of 1996.  Proceeds from the sale of these
securities were $36.175 million.  In the first quarter of 1995, $5.676
million of available for sale securities were sold with gains totaling $46
thousand.  There were no sales of securities in the second quarter of
either year.  

The Capital Markets Group (including Bond and Brokerage operations) showed
an increase of $1.410 million or 17.23% in revenues for the six month
period ending June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period last year.  Bond
Division revenues increased $770 thousand or 12.59% in the first six months
of 1996 compared to the first six months of 1995.  Foreign exchange
revenues accounted for $479 thousand of the increase.  Brokerage revenues
increased $640 thousand or 30.99% in the first six months of 1996 compared
to the same period last year.  Bond Division and Brokerage revenues for the
second quarter of 1996 showed a decrease of $239 thousand and an increase
of $311 thousand, respectively, from second quarter 1995.

Trust Division revenues increased $241 thousand or 7.87% for the first six
months of 1996 compared to the same period last year as a result of an
expanded customer base and fees associated from increased sales of
proprietary mutual funds.

(Non-interest Income continued)

Net gains recognized on sales of foreclosed property for the first six
months of 1996 were $280 thousand, with $250 thousand occurring in the
second quarter.  Proceeds from sales of foreclosed property totaled $2.757
million to date this year.  A net loss on foreclosed property of $53
thousand was recognized in the first six months of 1995 with proceeds of
$1.903 million.  

All other income decreased $1.594 million or 43.67% for the first six
months of 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995.  Changes in the
market value of the Company's proprietary trading accounts showed a net
loss of $281 thousand for the six months of 1996 compared to a net gain of
$1.160 million for the first six months of 1995, resulting in a decrease
period to period of $1.441 million.  Rental income decreased $419 thousand
for the first six months of 1996 compared to the same period last year due
to the sale of a low- to moderate-income housing project, owned and
operated by the Company, in June of 1995 (related operating expense
reductions discussed later).  These decreases period to period were offset
by a $142 thousand gain on sale of land in the second quarter of 1996.  All
other income decreased $629 thousand for the second quarter of 1996
compared to the second quarter of 1995 due primarily to the same reasons
discussed above.

</TABLE>

Non-interest expense for the first six months of 1996 was $40.947 million
compared to $43.880 million for the first six months of 1995, a decrease of
$2.933 million or 6.68%.  The Company's efficiency ratio year-to-date was
49.64% compared to 52.82% for the same period last year.  Non-interest
expense for the second quarter of 1996 of $19.953 million, decreased $2.002
million or 9.12% compared to the second quarter of 1995.    

Salary expense for the six month period of 1996 increased $791 thousand or
3.85% as compared to the same period last year.  Excluding the effect of
commissions and bonuses, salary expense increased $339 thousand or 2.23%. 
The number of full time equivalent employees was 999 at June 30, 1996
compared to 971 at June 30, 1995.  Commission and bonus expense increased 



<PAGE> 14
(Non-interest Expense continued)

8.45% for the first six months of 1996 compared to the first six months of 
1995.  The increase is related to the sales revenues reported by the
Company's fee divisions and can be attributed to the Capital Markets Group
year-to-date performance exceeding the first six months of last year as
discussed earlier.  Employee benefit expense increased $219 thousand or
6.03% for the first six months of 1996 as compared to the same period in
1995 and is primarily due to increased employee retirement expense
resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions.  

Net occupancy expense decreased $255 thousand or 5.41% for the first six
months of 1996 as compared to the same period last year.  As discussed
earlier, the sale of a low-to-moderate-income housing project owned and
operated by the Company resulted in a $355 thousand reduction in expenses
associated with the property from period to period.  This decrease was
offset by a slight increase in utilities expense and building repairs and
maintenance from period to period.  

FDIC premiums expense decreased $2.452 million or 99.80%.  In August 1995,
the FDIC Board of Directors voted to reduce deposit insurance premiums to
$.04 from $.23 per $100 of assessable deposits.  The effective date for the
premium change was June 1, 1995.  In 1996, the premium charged to the
Company's bank subsidiaries was reduced to $2 thousand per charter per
year.   

Furniture and equipment expense decreased $227 thousand or 11.48% for the
first six months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  The decline
is due to a general decrease in depreciation expense and includes computer
hardware which became fully depreciated in the second quarter of 1995.   

Advertising expense decreased $344 thousand or 33.89% for the first six
months of 1996 from the same period of 1995.  The first six months of 1995
included expenditures for a television advertising campaign not repeated in
1996.

Legal fees increased $60 thousand or 14.02% for the first six months of
1996 as compared to the same period last year.  Legal fees for the second
quarter of 1996 compared to second quarter 1995 decreased $78 thousand. 
Differences in the timing of legal fees incurred resulted in variances
quarter to quarter and year to year.  

Amortization expense increased $133 thousand or 32.44% for the first six
months of 1996 compared to the same period of 1995 and is primarily
attributed to increased capital note fee amortization.  On March 1, 1996
the Company called for the redemption of its 8 1/2% debentures due 1999 at
a 1% premium over par.  Amortization expense related to these debentures
for the first six months of 1996 increased $92 thousand compared to the
same period last year.  Amortization expense for the 7% convertible
subordinated notes increased $39 thousand for the same respective period as
a result of increased conversion of the notes.  



<PAGE> 15
(Non-interest Expense continued)

Expenses on foreclosed property decreased $49 thousand or 26.49% for the
first six months of 1996 compared to the first six months of last year. 
Foreclosed property at June 30, 1996 totaled $4.436 million compared to
$9.520 million at June 30, 1995, a decrease of $5.084 million.  

Other non-interest expense for the first six months of 1996 decreased $980
thousand or 18.70% from the same period last year.  Insurance expense
decreased $272 thousand for the first six months of 1996 as compared to the
same period in 1995 related to an increase in the cash surrender value of
life insurance policies offsetting the premium expense.  Operating expenses
related to a low- to moderate-income housing project sold in June 1995, as
discussed earlier, decreased $175 thousand from the same period last year.
Valuation adjustments of $162 thousand were made to miscellaneous
investments in 1995.  Consulting expense, six month period to period,
decreased $144 thousand.  Last year's expense included an individual
consulting contract which terminated at year-end 1995 and consulting
engagements running throughout 1995 for the purpose of enhancing banking
based non-interest revenues and improving operational flow.  Conventions
and meeting expense decreased $104 thousand period to period in 1996 due to
a Director Trip last year.  A renegotiated customer check printing contract
resulted in a $102 thousand reduction of stationary and supplies expense in
1996.  Due to increased loan activity, the deferral of loan costs recorded
as a reduction of non-interest expense in accordance with SFAS No. 91
increased, resulting in a reduction in expense of $118 thousand period to
period.  The above reductions in non-interest expense were offset by a 1%
call premium of $116 thousand paid on the redemption of the 8 1/2%
debentures on March 1, 1996.  

Other non-interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 decreased $681
thousand compared to second quarter 1995.  Consulting expense, as discussed
above, decreased $149 thousand period to period.  Deferral of loan costs
attributed to an expense reduction of $128 thousand.  Operating expenses
related to the low- to moderate-income housing project sold in June 1995
decreased $84 thousand from the same period last year.  Valuation
adjustments to miscellaneous investments in 1995 accounted for $81 thousand
of the decrease.  Insurance expense decreased $62 thousand.  Operating
losses decreased $45 thousand.  The remaining reduction of expense for
second quarter of 1996 compared to second quarter of 1995 was comprised of
various other miscellaneous categories.

    The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 1996 was
$1,495 thousand compared to $2,631 thousand for the first six months of
1995.  Net charge-offs totaled $805 thousand for the first six months of
1996 compared to $1.564 million for the first half of 1995. Annualized net
charge-offs were .08% of average loans for the first six months of 1996
compared to .17% for the same period in 1995.

     For the quarter, the provision for loan losses of $514 thousand was
$785 thousand lower than the second quarter of 1995, and approximated net
charge-offs for the quarter.  Net charge-offs for the second quarter of
1996 were $514 thousand compared to $385 thousand for the same period last
year.

    The Company evaluates the reserves of its subsidiary banks on an
ongoing basis to ensure the timely charge-off of loans and to determine the
adequacy of each bank's allowance for loan losses.  At June 30, 1996, the
level of the affiliate bank reserves as a percentage of total loans
outstanding ranged from 1.50% to 1.57% with a combined ratio of 1.55%. 
Management believes the current consolidated allowance at 1.55% of total
loans outstanding is adequate to absorb future possible losses.

    The Company's total shareholders' equity was $272.897 million at June
30, 1996 which reflects a 6.67% or $17.069 million increase as compared to
June 30, 1995.  In early 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized
management to purchase up to one million shares of the Company's common
stock in a systematic pattern to meet the common stock requirements of the
Mark Twain 1995 Stock Option Plan and other corporate purposes.  During
1995, the Company repurchased approximately 109,000 shares under this
program for principally the benefit plan.  During the first six months of
1996, the Company purchased approximately 133,000 shares for the benefit
plan.  In addition, the Company has purchased approximately 296,000 shares
related to the conversion of its 7% Convertible Subordinated Capital Notes. 
As of June 30, 1996, approximately 223,000 of the shares purchased related
to the Notes have been reissued upon conversion.  

    Mark Twain's Asset/Liability Committee meets monthly to review balance
sheet structure and liquidity needs.  The goal is to maximize net interest
income and maintain adequate liquidity while operating within defined risk
parameters.  The period gap set forth in the table below is the difference
between earning assets and interest bearing liabilities with the repricing
maturities indicated.  The cumulative gap figure accumulates the period
figures for the maturity range in question and all shorter maturities.  The
position of Mark Twain with respect to these gaps at June 30, 1996 was as
