UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING
The consolidated financial statements of Union Planters Corporation and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the Corporation) have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. The foregoing financial
statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair statement of the consolidated financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows for the interim periods have been included.
The accounting policies followed by the Corporation for interim financial
reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual
financial reporting except as noted below. The notes included herein should be
read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements
included in the Corporation's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders, (1997 Annual
Report), a copy of which is Exhibit 13 to the Corporation's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 (1997 10-K). Certain 1997 amounts
have been reclassified to be consistent with the 1998 financial reporting
presentation.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Corporation adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," which are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of
Changes in Shareholders' Equity.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
CONSUMMATED ACQUISITIONS
In a transaction accounted for as a purchase, the Corporation acquired
Sho-Me Financial Corporation (Sho-Me) on January 1, 1998, exchanging 1,153,459
shares of the Corporation's common stock for all of the outstanding common stock
of Sho-Me. Total assets of Sho-Me were $373.8 million at the date of
acquisition. Goodwill of $29.2 million resulted from the transaction. During the
second quarter of 1998 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests,
the Corporation acquired Security Bancshares, Inc. (SBI) and its subsidiaries,
Farmers & Merchants Bank in Des Arc, Arkansas, and Merchants & Farmers Bank in
West Helena, Arkansas, on April 1, 1998, exchanging 490,821 shares of the
Corporation's common stock for all the outstanding common stock of SBI. The
total assets of SBI at the date of acquisition were approximately $146 million.
Prior period financial statements have not been restated for the acquisition of
SBI, which is considered insignificant to the financial position and results of
operations of the Corporation.
Reference is made to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements on
pages 49 through 50 of the 1997 Annual Report for information regarding
acquisitions completed in 1997.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Applicable income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1998, were $84.7
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 35.65%. Applicable income taxes
for the same period in 1997 were $71.7 million, resulting in an effective tax
rate of 34.75%. The increase in the effective rate in 1998, as compared to 1997,
is due primarily to the change in the mix of taxable and nontaxable revenues.
The tax expense applicable to investment securities gains for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $2.0 million and $26,000, respectively.
At June 30, 1998, the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset of $108.7
million compared to $94.8 million at December 31, 1997. The net deferred tax
asset includes a deferred tax liability related to the net unrealized gain on
available for sale securities of $19.4 million and $24.2 million, respectively.
Based upon historical earnings and anticipated future earnings, management
believes that normal operations will generate sufficient future taxable income
to realize in full these deferred tax benefits. Therefore, no extraordinary
strategies are deemed necessary by management to generate sufficient taxable
income for purposes of realizing the net deferred tax asset.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK (FHLB) ADVANCES
Certain of the Corporation's banking and thrift subsidiaries had
outstanding advances from the FHLB under Blanket Agreements for Advances and
Security Agreements (the Agreements). The Agreements enable these subsidiaries
to borrow funds from the FHLB to fund mortgage loan programs and to satisfy
certain other funding needs. The value of the mortgage-backed securities and
mortgage loans pledged under the Agreements must be maintained at not less than
115% and 150%, respectively, of the advances outstanding. At June 30, 1998, the
Corporation had an adequate amount of mortgage-backed securities and loans to
satisfy the collateral requirements. A summary of the advances is as follows.

NOTE 10. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Corporation and/or various subsidiaries are parties to certain pending
or threatened civil actions which are described in Item 3, Part I of the
Corporation's 1997 10-K, in Note 19 to the Corporation's consolidated financial
statements on page 71 of the 1997 Annual Report, and in Note 10 to the
Corporation's March 31, 1998 unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements. Various other legal proceedings pending against the Corporation
and/or its subsidiaries have arisen in the ordinary course of business.
Based upon present information, including evaluations of certain actions by
outside counsel, management believes that neither the Corporation's financial
position, results of operations, nor liquidity will be materially affected by
the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened lawsuits. There were no
significant developments during the second quarter of 1998 in any of the pending
or threatened actions that affected such opinion and no new material legal
proceedings arose during the second quarter of 1998.

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following provides a narrative discussion and analysis of significant
changes in the Corporation's results of operations and financial condition. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related financial analysis set forth in the Corporation's 1997
Annual Report, the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated March 31,
1998, the Corporation's interim unaudited financial statements and notes for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998, included in Part I hereof, and the
supplemental financial data included in this discussion.
Certain of the information included in this discussion contains
forward-looking statements and information that are based on management's belief
as well as certain assumptions made by, and information currently available to
management. Specifically, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
with respect to the adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans; the effect of
legal proceedings on the Corporation's financial condition, results of
operations, and liquidity; charges related to pending acquisitions; cost savings
related to integration of completed acquisitions; and year 2000 compliance
issues. When used in this discussion, the words "anticipate," "project,"
"expect," "believes," and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Although management of the Corporation believes that
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it
can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions. Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should any such
underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Among key factors that
may have a direct bearing on the Corporation's operating results are
fluctuations in the economy, especially in the Southeast; the relative strength
and weakness in the consumer and commercial credit sector and in the real estate
market; the actions taken by the Federal Reserve for the purpose of managing the
economy; the Corporation's ability to realize anticipated cost savings related
to both recently completed and pending acquisitions; the ability of the
Corporation to achieve anticipated revenue enhancements; its success in
assimilating acquired operations into the Corporation's culture, including its
ability to instill the Corporation's credit culture and approach to operating
efficiencies into acquired operations; the continued growth of the markets in
which the Corporation operates consistent with recent historical experience; the
absence of undisclosed material contingencies inherent in acquired operations,
including asset quality and litigation contingencies; the enactment of
legislation impacting the operations of the Corporation; and the Corporation's
ability to expand into new markets and to maintain profit margins in the face of
pricing pressure.

SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS OVERVIEW
For the second quarter of 1998, the Corporation reported record earnings of
$78.3 million compared to $68.3 million for the same period in 1997. Diluted
earnings per common share for the second quarter of 1998 were $.90 compared to
$.80 for the same period in 1997, an increase of 12.5%. Second quarter earnings
resulted in an annualized return on average assets of 1.70% and an annualized
return on average common equity of 17.57% which compares to 1.52% and 16.81%,
respectively, for the same period in 1997.
Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $152.9 million, or
$1.76 per diluted common share. This compares to net earnings of $134.7 million,
or $1.59 per diluted common share for the same period in 1997. The returns on
average assets and average common equity for the first half of 1998 were 1.69%
and 17.54% compared to 1.51% and 16.98%, respectively, for the same period last
year.
16
<PAGE> 17
The improvement in net earnings is attributable to a $27.1 million increase
in noninterest income, primarily related to a $19.6 million gain from the
securitization of FHA/VA loans. Partially offsetting the increase in noninterest
income was a $9.4 million increase in noninterest expenses, approximately half
of which related to several smaller acquisitions in late 1997 and early 1998.
The following is a more complete discussion and analysis of the operating
results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same
periods in 1997.
EARNINGS ANALYSIS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income (FTE) for the second quarter of 1998 was $199.8
million, a $1.2 million increase over the second quarter of 1997 which was
$198.6 million, and up $4.9 million from the first quarter of 1998 which was
$194.9 million. For the first half of 1998, net interest income (FTE) was $394.7
million compared to $393.4 million for the same period in 1997. Reference is
made to the Corporation's average balance sheet and analysis of volume and rate
changes, which follow this discussion for additional information regarding the
changes in net interest income.
The net interest margin for the second quarter of 1998 was 4.76% which
compares to 4.82% for the same quarter last year and 4.80% for the first quarter
of 1998. The net interest margin for the first half of 1998 was 4.78%, three
basis points lower than the net interest margin for the same period in 1997. The
interest rate spread decreased to 3.88% for the second quarter of 1998, down
from 4.01% for the same period a year ago and down from 3.96% for the first
quarter of 1998.

</TABLE>
Interest income (FTE) increased $2.4 million for the second quarter of 1998
compared to the same period in 1997. The increase is attributable to a $334
million increase in average earning assets, which resulted in a $7.0 million
increase in interest income. This increase was partially offset by a 12 basis
point decrease in the average yield on earning assets, which decreased interest
income approximately $4.6 million. For the first half of 1998, interest income
increased $413,000 due primarily to the growth of average earning assets,
primarily loans, which increased interest income approximately $9.1 million.
This increase was partially offset by an eight basis point decrease in the
average yield on earning assets, which decreased interest income approximately
$8.7 million. Interest income improved $9.4 million over the first quarter of
1998 due primarily to an increase in average investment securities and a higher
yield on loans.

</TABLE>
Interest expense increased $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1998
compared to the same period in 1997. The increase is due primarily to the
issuance of $300 million of 6.5% Putable/Callable Subordinated Notes in March
1998 partially offset by lower volumes of short-term borrowings and deposits.
For the first six months of 1998, interest expense decreased $948,000 compared
to the same period in 1997. This decrease related primarily to a net decrease in
borrowings and other time deposits, partially offset by an increase in long-term
debt related to the issuance of subordinated debt referred to above. Interest
expense increased $4.5 million compared to the first quarter of 1998 due
primarily to the subordinated debt issued in the latter part of the first
quarter.
PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS
The provision for losses on loans for the second quarter of 1998 was $21.7
million, or .73% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $22.0
million, or .79% of average loans, for the same period in 1997. For the six
months ended June 30, 1998, the provision for losses on loans was $39.6 million
compared to $44.0 million for the same period in 1997. The provision for losses
on loans for the first half of 1998 continued to be impacted by the level of
credit card charge-offs, which accounted for 55% of the charge-offs. Reference
is made to the "Allowance for Losses on Loans" discussion for additional
information regarding loan charge-offs.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1998 was $111.0 million, an
increase of $27.1 million from the same period in 1997, and an increase of $15.3
million compared to the first quarter of 1998. For the first half of 1998,
noninterest income was $206.7 million compared to $166.9 million for the same
period in 1997. The major components of noninterest income are presented on the
face of the statement of earnings and in Note 6 to the interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements.
The significant increase in noninterest income in the second quarter of
1998 related to a gain of $19.6 million from the securitization of FHA/VA loans.
During the quarter, approximately $381 million of previously defaulted FHA and
VA guaranteed loans serviced by one of the Corporation's subsidiaries were
securitized and sold. The loans sold had a weighted-average maturity of 219
months and a weighted-average interest rate of 9.87%. The loans will continue to
be serviced by a subsidiary of the Corporation for a one percent fee. The
transaction should allow the Corporation to continue to experience the economic
benefits of the high coupon loans while avoiding some of the funding risks
associated with the unpredictable cash flows. The Corporation purchased a
portion of the new securities with an estimated market value of $17.4 million,
and they are being held in the investment securities portfolio.
In addition to the above gain, the increase in noninterest income for the
second quarter of 1998 and the first half of the year compared to the same
periods in 1997 was also due to the following items: (i) gains on the sale of
branches/deposits and other selected assets which increased $1.2 million and
$2.3 million, respectively; (ii) brokerage fees increased $1.4 million and $2.9
million, respectively, due to increased trading volume in the financial markets;
(iii) mortgage origination fees increased $1.3 million and $2.7 million,
respectively, due to an increase in mortgage originations; (iv) gains on the
sale of residential mortgages increased $938,000 and $3.0 million, respectively,
due primarily to the sale of $104 million of adjustable-rate mortgage loans in
the first quarter of 1998; (v) investment securities gains of $145,000 and $5.2
million, respectively, which year to date increased due to the sale of $296
million of securities in the first quarter of 1998; and (vi) factoring
commissions which increased $384,000 and $864,000, respectively, due to
increased factor sales volume. The principal reason for the increase in
noninterest income between the first and second quarters of 1998
18
<PAGE> 19
was the $19.6 million gain from the securitization of FHA/VA loans discussed
above, partially offset by a decline in investment securities gains of $5.2
million
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1998 increased $9.4 million
to $162.3 million compared to $152.9 million for the second quarter of 1997 and
an increase of $8.7 million from the first quarter of 1998. For the first half
of 1998, noninterest expense was $315.9 million compared to $301.6 million. The
major components of noninterest expense are detailed on the face of the
statement of earnings and in Note 6 to the unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements.
Noninterest expenses for the second quarter and for the first half of 1998
were impacted by several smaller acquisitions late in 1997 and in early 1998
which increased noninterest expenses approximately $4.5 million and $9.6
million, respectively. The largest component of this increase was salaries and
employee benefits, which increased $2.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of
noninterest expense, increased $2.1 and $2.3 million, respectively, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997,
excluding the impact of the smaller acquisitions discussed previously. Most of
the increase related to incentive pay, partially offset by a decrease in the
number of employees. At June 30, 1998, the Corporation had 7,690
full-time-equivalent employees compared to 7,918 at June 30, 1997, and compared
to 7,717 at March 31, 1998.
Other categories of expenses impacting the increase in noninterest expense
between the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997 were: (i) an increase in the provision for losses on FHA/VA foreclosure
losses of $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively; (ii) an increase in
communications expense of $931,000 and $1.7 million, respectively; (iii) an
increase in postage and other carrier expense of $1.2 million and $1.5 million,
respectively; and (iv) an increase in the amortization of mortgage servicing
rights due to the higher level of mortgage servicing rights resulting from the
purchase of mortgage servicing in the first quarter of 1998.
Currently, a significant amount of management time is being spent on the
operational consolidation of most of the banking charters, integration of
recently completed acquisitions, and "Y2K" compliance. Additionally, the
Corporation is upgrading technology and standardizing products and services
throughout the Corporation's ten-state, 700 plus branch network. These efforts,
in management's opinion, are taking management time and energies that would
otherwise be spent on other efforts. Quantifying the exact impact is not
possible. While these efforts impact operations over the short-run, they are
expected to pay dividends for both customers and shareholders in the future as
integration of branch facilities and back office systems from charter
consolidation and recent acquisitions are completed and standard products are
put in place.
EARNINGS CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO PENDING ACQUISITIONS
Historically, as the Corporation acquires entities, merger-related and
other significant charges have been incurred. (Reference is made to Table 1 on
page 26 of the 1997 Annual Report). Typically, these charges include the
following: (i) salaries, employee benefits, and other employment-related charges
for employment contract payments, change in control agreements, early retirement
and involuntary separation and related benefits, postretirement expenses, and
assumed pension expenses of acquired entities; (ii) write-downs of office
buildings and equipment to be sold, lease buyouts, assets determined to be
obsolete or no longer of use, and equipment not compatible with the
Corporation's equipment; (iii) professional fees for legal, accounting,
consulting, and financial advisory services; and (iv) other expenses such as
asset write-offs, charge-offs of prepaid assets, cancellation of vendor
contracts, computer conversion costs, and other costs which normally arise from
consolidation of operational activities. These charges totaled $46.2 million,
$52.8 million, and $11.9 million in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. During
the second quarters of 1998 and 1997, these charges were not significant and
there were no significant reversals of charges accrued in prior periods. The
level of the charges is directly related to the size of the institution being
acquired. After-tax charges of the type described above in the range of $75
million to $85 million are expected in connection with the acquisitions
completed subsequent to June 30, 1998 and the current pending acquisitions (see
Note 2 to the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements). To the
extent that the Corporation's recognition of these charges is contingent upon
consummation of a particular transaction, those charges would be recognized in
the period in which such transaction closes. This range of potential charges is
based on currently available information as well as preliminary estimates and
will change if additional entities are acquired. This range is provided as an
estimate of the significant charges which may be in the aggregate required and
should be viewed accordingly.

CHARTER CONSOLIDATION
On page 12 of the 1997 Annual Report is a discussion of the legal merger of
the majority of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries effective January 1,
1998. In connection with the merger, the Corporation incurred in the fourth
quarter of 1997 charges related to the decision to merge the subsidiaries
totaling approximately $16.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, no
additional significant charges were incurred and there were no reversals of the
charges accrued in 1997. The anticipated annual cost savings from the
consolidation, approximately $15 to $20 million on a pretax basis, are still
expected but have not yet been fully recognized. A major portion is expected to
be realized in the latter part of 1998; however, the full impact of the savings
and revenue enhancements are not expected until mid-1999.

(1) The increase or decrease due to the change in balance sheet mix has
been allocated proportionately to volume and rate change.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Corporation's total assets were $18.6 billion at June 30, 1998
compared to $18.0 billion at June 30, 1997, and $18.1 billion at December 31,
1997. Average assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 were $18.4
billion and $18.2 billion, respectively, compared to $18.0 billion for both
periods in 1997. Acquisitions accounted for approximately $764 million of the
increase between June 30, 1998 and 1997.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Corporation's investment securities portfolio of $4.0 billion at
June 30, 1998 consisted entirely of available for sale securities, which are
carried on the balance sheet at fair value. This compares to investment
securities of $3.2 billion at December 31, 1997. At June 30, 1998, and December
31, 1997, these securities had net unrealized gains of $50.0 million and $62.7
million, respectively. Reference is made to Note 5 to the interim unaudited
consolidated financial statements which provides the composition of the
investment portfolio at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.
U. S. Treasury and U. S. Government agency obligations represented
approximately 75% of the investment securities portfolio at June 30, 1998. The
Corporation has some credit risk in the investment portfolio, however management
does not consider that risk to be significant and does not believe that cash
flows will be significantly impacted.
The REMIC and CMO issues in the investment securities portfolio are 67%
U. S. Government agencies issues; the remaining 33% are readily marketable,
collateralized mortgage obligations backed by agency-pooled collateral or
whole-loan collateral. The REMIC and CMO portions of the investment securities
portfolio include approximately 12% in floating-rate issues, the majority being
indexed to LIBOR or prime. Normal practice is to purchase investment securities
at or near par value to reduce the risk of premium write-offs from
24
<PAGE> 25
unexpected prepayments. The limited credit risk in the investment securities
portfolio consisted of 14% municipal obligations and 3% other stocks and
securities (82% of which is Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank
stock).
At June 30, 1998, the Corporation had approximately $55.5 million of
structured notes, which constituted approximately 1.39% of the investment
securities portfolio. Structured notes have uncertain cash flows, which are
driven by interest-rate movements and may expose a company to greater market
risk than traditional medium-term notes. All of the Corporation's investments of
this type are government-agency issues (primarily Federal Home Loan Bank and
Federal National Mortgage Association). The structured notes vary in type but
primarily include step-up bonds, floating-rate notes, and index-amortizing
notes. These securities are carried in the Corporation's available for sale
securities portfolio at fair value. These securities had an unrealized gain at
June 30, 1998 of approximately $41,000. The market risk associated with the
structured notes is not considered material to the Corporation's financial
position, results of operations, or liquidity and involves limited credit risk.
LOANS
At June 30, 1998, loans, net of unearned income, were $12.5 billion
compared to $12.6 billion and $12.7 billion at June 30, 1997 and March 31, 1998,
respectively. Average loans for the second quarter of 1998 were $12.9 billion, a
1.5% increase over $12.7 billion for the second quarter of 1997. Note 3 to the
interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part I. Item 1
of this report presents the composition of the loan portfolio.
The amount of loans outstanding was impacted by the sale of $381 million
of FHA/VA loans that were securitized (see the "Noninterest Income" discussion).
In addition, single-family residential loans have declined due to the
refinancing activity in the current low interest rate environment. The level of
credit card and other consumer loans has also declined since both June 30, 1997
and year end 1997. Loan balances were also impacted by the sale of $104 million
of adjustable-rate mortgage loans in the first quarter of 1998. Excluding the
FHA/VA government-insured/guaranteed loans, the impact of acquisitions, and loan
sales, average loans for the quarter grew approximately 5% compared to the same
period in 1997.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES ON LOANS
The Corporation maintains the allowance for losses on loans at a level
which is believed adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. A
formal review is prepared quarterly to assess the risk in the portfolio and to
determine the adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans. The review includes
analyses of certain problem loans, historical loan loss experience, the level of
classified and nonperforming loans, reviews and evaluations of specific loans,
changes in the nature and volume of loans, the results of regulatory
examinations, and current economic conditions and the related impact on specific
borrowers and industry groups. The review is presented to, and approved by,
senior management and a committee of the Board of Directors.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the allowance for
losses on loans (the allowance) at the dates indicated and certain key ratios
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

charge-offs for the second quarter of 1998 were $19.7 million compared to $18.0

1998, respectively. The majority of the increase in net charge-offs for the
first half of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 relates primarily to the
credit card and other consumer loan portfolios.

LOANS OTHER THAN FHA/VA LOANS. As a percentage of loans and foreclosed
properties, nonperforming assets were .99% at June 30, 1998 compared to 1.15% at
June 30, 1997 and 1.01% at March 31, 1998. The coverage of nonperforming loans
(allowance for losses on loans as a percentage of nonperforming loans) was 237%
at June 30, 1998, which compares to 200% at June 30, 1997 and 240% at March 31,
1998.
Restructured loans decreased $8.3 million from December 31, 1997 to
$1.8 million at June 30, 1998. The decline relates primarily to two loans which
were removed from restructured status since they have been and are currently
paying in accordance with contractual terms of the restructuring and had
effective interest rates, at the time of modification, equal to or greater than
new loans with comparable risk. Nonaccrual loans and the carrying value of
foreclosed properties also decreased $105,000 and $4.2 million to $94.5 million
and $19.8 million, respectively. These categories were also down slightly from
March 31, 1998.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest totaled
$23.9 million, or .21% of loans, at June 30, 1998. This compares to loans 90
days or more past due and still accruing interest of $24.1 million, or .21%, of
loans at December 31, 1997. The table above details the composition of these
loans.
FHA/VA LOANS. FHA/VA government-insured/guaranteed loans (FHA/VA loans)
do not, in management's opinion, have traditional credit risk and risk of
principal loss is considered minimal. FHA/VA loans 90 days or more past due and
still accruing interest totaled $414.3 million at June 30, 1998 which compares
to $516.7 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease in past due loans relates
primarily to a decline in the overall size of the FHA/VA portfolio and to FHA
loans being moved to foreclosure sooner due to changed FHA requirements. The
rate of foreclosure and loan payoffs continues to exceed the acquisition and
buyout of delinquent loans from GNMA servicing pools. At June 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, $10.8 million and $14.8 million, respectively, of these loans
were placed on nonaccrual status by management because the contractual payment
of interest by FHA/VA had stopped due to missed filing dates. No loss of
principal is expected from these loans.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM ASSETS
Potential problem assets consist of assets which are generally secured
and not currently considered nonperforming, but where information about possible
credit problems has caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability
of the borrowers to comply in the future with present repayment terms.
Historically, these assets have been loans, which have become nonperforming. At
June 30, 1998, the Corporation had potential problem assets (all of which were
loans) of $32.4 million.
DEPOSITS
The Corporation's core deposit base is its most important and stable
funding source and consists of deposits from the communities served by the
Corporation.

Average deposits for the second quarter of 1998 were $13.6 billion,
which represents increases of $288 million and $127 million, respectively, from
the average deposits for the second quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of
1998. Small acquisitions in late 1997 and early 1998 increased total deposits
approximately $545 million. Also, during 1997 and the first and second quarters
of 1998, the Corporation sold certain branch locations including related
deposits which totaled approximately $255 million.
LIQUIDITY
The Corporation requires liquidity sufficient to meet cash requirements
for deposit withdrawals, to make new loans and satisfy loan commitments, to take
advantage of attractive investment opportunities, and to repay borrowings at
maturity. Deposits, available for sale securities and money market investments
are the Corporation's primary sources of liquidity. Liquidity is also achieved
through short-term borrowings, borrowings under available lines of credit, and
issuance of securities and debt instruments in the financial markets. The
Corporation has adequate liquidity to meet its operating requirements.
Parent company liquidity is achieved and maintained by dividends
received from subsidiaries, interest on advances to subsidiaries, and interest
on its available for sale investment securities portfolio. At June 30, 1998, the
parent company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $269.5 million and net
working capital of $307.3 million. At July 1, 1998, the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries could have paid dividends totaling $81.1 million without prior
regulatory approval. The actual amount of dividends that will be paid in the
third quarter of 1998 will be limited by management to approximately $38.4
million due to capital and liquidity requirements of individual financial
institutions. The payment of additional dividends by the Corporation's
subsidiaries will be dependent on the future earnings and growth of the
subsidiaries. Management believes that the parent company has adequate liquidity
to meet its cash needs, including the payment of its regular dividends,
servicing of its debt, and cash needed for acquisitions.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Corporation's total shareholders' equity increased by $119.3
million from December 31, 1997 to $1.9 billion at June 30, 1998. The increase
was due to retained net earnings of $67.4 million and common stock issued in
connection with acquisitions and benefit plans of $101.7 million. The increases
were partially offset by the purchase and cancellation of $41.4 million of
common stock in connection with the Sho-Me and Duck Hill Bank purchase
acquisitions and by the net change in the unrealized gain on available for sale
securities which reduced shareholders' equity $8.4 million.

At June 30, 1998, total shareholders' equity was 10.01% of total assets
and the leverage ratio was 10.79% compared to 9.65% and 10.48%, respectively, at
December 31, 1997. The improvement in the Tier I capital ratio and leverage
ratio is attributable primarily to the Corporation's retained net earnings. The
increase in the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio is primarily
attributable to the issuance, by UPB, of $300 million of 6.5% Putable/Callable
Subordinated Notes, due March 15, 2018, putable or callable on March 15, 2008,
which qualify as Tier II capital for regulatory purposes. Reference is made to
Note 8 to the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included in
Part I. Item 1 of this report for additional information regarding these
subordinated notes.
YEAR 2000 RISK FACTORS
The Corporation's 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders (Exhibit 13 to the
Corporation's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K) discusses on pages 12, 24, and 25
potential problems which could affect the Corporation's data processing systems
with the advent of the "Year 2000," the steps taken and to be taken by the
Corporation to address these potential problems, and the estimated cost of
achieving Year-2000 compliance. The Corporation is currently on schedule to be
fully compliant and tested by December 31, 1998, as stated in its 1997 Annual
Report. The Corporation continues to estimate that it will incur expenses
approximating $750,000 to achieve Year-2000 compliance with respect to its own
systems. The $750,000 does not include the cost of computer equipment scheduled
to be replaced in the normal course of business, which is estimated to be $3.8
million and constitutes a reallocation within the capital budget. The
Corporation's practice is to convert the data processing systems of acquired
entities to the Corporation's data processing systems, which are expected to be
Year-2000 compliant. Therefore, the aggregate cost related to pending
acquisitions becoming Year-2000 compliant is not considered significant beyond
normal conversion costs (see the discussion of merger-related charges under the
heading "Earnings Considerations Related to Pending Acquisitions"). In the event
the Corporation does not achieve Year-2000 compliance for a particular system or
application, contingency plans have been developed to continue the operations.
At this time, the Corporation expects to be compliant and tested on all its
systems prior to the Year-2000 and does not expect the contingency plans to be
implemented.
The Year-2000 compliance of future potential acquisitions is a
potential risk factor of the Corporation's acquisition program. As part of its
due diligence process, the systems and application software of the target
acquisitions are reviewed to determine if they are Year-2000 compliant or, upon
conversion to the Corporation's systems, will be Year-2000 compliant prior to
year end 1998. Regulatory authorities have indicated they will not approve
applications for prior permission to effect acquisitions unless the applicant
has provided assurance satisfactory to them that they will be Year-2000
compliant.
30
<PAGE> 31
As discussed in the 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders, the Corporation
has risk arising from the advent of Year-2000 related to its lending activities
and could be adversely affected should significant customers of the Corporation
fail to address the issues appropriately. The Corporation is continuing to
monitor the Year-2000 compliance efforts of its major borrowing customers. Major
customers are rated on their compliance efforts and if a customer is deemed to
not be adequately preparing the Year-2000 problems, the Corporation is working
with those customers to increase their efforts to become Year-2000 compliant.
The potential impact of major customers not taking appropriate actions cannot be
quantified at this time.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FASB 133). FASB 133 provides a
consistent standard for the recognition and measurement of derivatives and
hedging activities. The new Standard resolves the inconsistencies that existed
with respect to derivatives accounting, and dramatically changes the way many
derivatives transactions and hedged items are reported.
FASB 133 requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet
at fair value and establishes "special accounting" for the following three
different types of hedges: hedges of changes in fair value of assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments (fair value hedges); hedges of the variable
cash flows of forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges); and hedges of foreign
currency exposure of net investment in foreign operations. The Statement is
effective for years beginning after June 15, 1999, but companies can early adopt
as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter that begins after June 1998. The
Corporation is evaluating the impact of this new Standard and has not determined
if it will adopt the new Standard early.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ASSET LIABILITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
The Corporation's assets and liabilities are principally financial in
nature and the resulting earnings thereon, primarily net interest income, are
subject to changes as a result of changes in market interest rates and the mix
of the various assets and liabilities. Interest rates in the financial markets
affect the Corporation's decisions on pricing its assets and liabilities, which
impacts net interest income, the Corporation's primary cash flow stream. As a
result, a substantial part of the Corporation's risk management activities is
devoted to managing interest-rate risk. Currently, the Corporation does not have
any significant risks related to foreign exchange, commodities or equity risk
exposure.
INTEREST-RATE RISK. One of the most important aspects of management's
efforts to sustain long-term profitability for the Corporation is the management
of interest-rate risk. Management's goal is to maximize net interest income
within acceptable levels of interest-rate risk and liquidity. To achieve this
goal, a proper balance must be maintained between assets and liabilities with
respect to size, maturity, repricing date, rate of return, and degree of risk.
Reference is made to the "Investment Securities," "Loans," and "Other Earning
Assets" discussions in the 1997 Annual Report and in this discussion for
additional information regarding risks related to these items.
The Corporation's Funds Management Committee oversees the conduct of
global asset/liability management. The Committee reviews the asset/liability
structure and interest-rate risk monthly for the lead bank and quarterly for the
Corporation's other subsidiaries.
The Corporation uses interest-rate sensitivity (GAP) analysis to
monitor the amounts and timing of balances exposed to changes in interest rates,
as shown in the following table. The analysis presented has been made at a point
in time and could change significantly on a daily basis. The GAP Report is not
relied upon exclusively to evaluate the impact of, or predict how the
Corporation is positioned to react to, changing interest rates. Other methods
such as simulation analysis are also considered in evaluating the Corporation's
interest-rate risk. Key assumptions in the simulation analysis include
prepayment speeds on mortgage-related assets, cash flows and maturities of
financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, changes in volumes
and pricing, deposit sensitivity, and management's financial capital plan. These
assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulation cannot
precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher
or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from
simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate
changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among
others.
31
<PAGE> 32
At June 30, 1998, the GAP analysis indicated that the Corporation was
asset sensitive with $987,000 more assets than liabilities repricing within one
year. At 5% of total assets, this position was within management's policy limit
of 10% of total assets.
Balance sheet simulation analysis has been conducted at June 30, 1998
to determine the impact on net interest income for the coming twelve months
under several interest-rate scenarios. One such scenario uses rates at June 30,
1998, and holds the rates and volumes constant for simulation. When this
position is subjected to immediate and parallel shifts in interest rates ("rate
shocks") of 200 basis points rising and 200 basis points falling, the annual
impact on the Corporation's net interest income is a positive $19 million and a
negative $30 million pretax, respectively. Another simulation uses management's
conclusions as to a "most likely" scenario of interest rates remaining constant
until the first part of 1999 and then gradually declining 50 basis points
resulting in a $4 million pretax decrease in net interest income from the
constant rate/volume projection. These outcomes are within the Corporation's
policy of limiting the projected impact on net interest income under worst case
scenarios to less than 5% of shareholders' equity.

- -------------------
Management has made the following assumptions in presenting the above analysis:
(1) Assets and liabilities are generally scheduled according to their earliest
repricing dates regardless of their contractual maturities.
(2) Nonaccrual loans
are included in the noninterest-bearing category.
(3) Fixed-rate mortgage loan maturities are estimated based on the currently
prevailing principal-prepayment patterns of comparable mortgage-backed
securities.
(4) Delinquent FHA/VA loans are scheduled based on foreclosure and repayment
patterns.
(5) The scheduled maturities of mortgage-backed securities and CMOs assume
principal prepayment of these securities on dates estimated by management,
relying primarily upon current and consensus interest-rate forecasts in
conjunction with the latest three-month historical prepayment schedules.
(6) Securities are generally scheduled according to their call dates when valued
at a premium to par.
(7) Money market deposits and savings deposits that have no contractual
maturities are scheduled according to management's best estimate of their
repricing in response to changes in market rates. The impact of changes in
market rates would be expected to vary by product type and market.
(8) If all money market, NOW, and savings deposits had been included in the 0-30
Days category above, the cumulative gap as a percentage of total assets
would have been negative (11%), (11%), and (8%), for the 0-90 Days, 91-180
Days, and 181-365 Days categories and positive 4%, 12%, 18% and 15%,
respectively, for the 1-3 Years, 3-5 Years, 5-15 Years, and over 15 Years
categories at June 30, 1998.
