UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

1.  Financial Statement Presentation:

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany transactions. In
the opinion of  management  of the  Company,  all  adjustments,  which were of a
normal  recurring  nature,  necessary for a fair  presentation  of the financial
position and results of  operations  have been made.  The  financial  statements
should be read in conjunction with the  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition  and results of Operations  and with  reference to the 1997
Annual  Report to  Shareholders.  The  preparation  of financial  statements  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles requires management to
make estimates  that affect the reported  amount of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements.  These  estimates and assumptions  also impact  reported  amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

2.  Earnings:

Earnings per share are based on the weighted  average number of shares of common
stock outstanding  during the interim periods.  All share and per share data has
been adjusted to reflect a 5% stock  dividend  paid on January 2, 1998.  Diluted
earnings per share takes into  account the dilutive  effect of 72,631 and 39,500
shares  issuable under options granted by the Company at June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

For the  period  ended  June  30,  1998  the  Company  reported  net  income  of
$29,524,000.  Its total comprehensive income,  reported pursuant to SFAS No. 130
was $31,453,000,  which includes the change in accumulated  unrealized gains and
losses on AFS  securities,  net of income tax expense of $340,000.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1997  comprehensive  income was $29,771,000 which includes
the change in accumulated unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities,  net of
income tax expense of $20,000. 

3. Allowance for Loan Losses:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

3.  Allowance for Loan Losses: (Continued)

At June 30, 1998 the amount of loans that are  considered  to be impaired  under
SFAS No.  114 was  $10,625,000  compared  to  $4,049,000  at June  30,  1997 and
$9,325,000  at December 31,  1996.  At June 30, 1997 all of these loans are on a
nonaccrual or restructured basis.  Included in the impaired loans is $743,000 of
loans for which the related allowance for loan losses is $134,000. The remaining
$9,882.000  of  impaired  loans do not have an  allowance  for loan  losses as a
result of write-downs  and supporting  collateral  value.  The average  recorded
investment  in  impaired  loans  during  the  period  ended  June  30,  1998 was
approximately $5,478,000.

4. Commitments and Contingencies: In the normal course
of business,  the Company and its  subsidiaries  are named defendants in various
lawsuits and counterclaims. In the opinion of management after consultation with
legal  counsel,  none of the suits will have a materially  adverse effect on the
financial  position or results of operations of the Company.  

5. New  Accounting  Pronouncements:  In June 1997,  FASB  issued  SFAS No.  131,
"Disclosures  about  Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related  Information,"  The
Statement  establishes  standards for the way that public  business  enterprises
report information about operating  segments in annual financial  statements and
requires that those  enterprises  report  selected  information  about operating
segments  in interim  financial  reports  issued to  shareholders.  The  Company
anticipates  that the  implementation  of this  Statement at year-end  1998 will

UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

Summary
UMB Financial Corporation (the Company) earned net income of $14,368,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998,  compared to $14,778,000 for the same period a
year earlier. This represents per share earnings of $0.71 for the second quarter
of 1998  compared  to $0.72 for the second  quarter of 1997.  On a  year-to-date
basis earnings were $29,524,000, or $1.45 per share, compared to $29,739,000, or
$1.45 per share, for the prior year.

The  Company's net interest  income  showed a small  increase on a quarterly and
year-to-date  basis.  Non  interest  income  increased  for both  periods as the
Company  continues to build on its substantial  fee-based  income.  Non interest
expenses were higher for both periods as the Company  continues its  investments
in personnel,  equipment and technology  systems  required to sustain  long-term
growth.

Included in this report are limited  forward looking  statements  concerning the
Company's future financial condition and results of operations. These statements
are the  result  of  Management's  current  expectations  based  on  information
presently  available.  Actual results could differ from these  expectations as a
result of many  factors  including  changes  in  economic  conditions  impacting
customers  ability to repay loans,  interest  rates and loan demand.  Changes in
technology,  regulatory  requirements  and  competition  will also impact future
results.

Results of Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 1998 the Company earned net interest  income
of  $55,172,000  compared to  $55,104,000  for the second  quarter of 1997. On a
year-to-date  basis net interest income  increased 3.03% to $111,985,000 for the
first half of 1998,  compared to $108,690,000 for the same period last year. The
improvement  in the Company's  net interest  income was fueled by an increase in
average earning assets of 9.00%.  While the average earning assets increased the
Company's net interest margin  decreased to 4.05% compared to 4.23% for the same
period of 1997.  This decrease  primarily  resulted from  continued  pressure on
short-term  interest rates,  which negatively  impacted the yield on loans. Also
effecting the spread and margin  decreases  was the increased  rates the Company
paid on its interest bearing liabilities.

The Company's  loan loss provision for the second quarter of 1998 was $2,914,000
compared to $3,377,000 for the same period of 1997. The  year-to-date  loan loss
provision  for the Company in 1998 was  $5,772,000  compared to  $5,302,000  for
1997.  The year to date  increase in provision for loan losses was primarily due
to increased loan  charge-offs.  Net loan charge-offs in the first six months of
1998 were  $5,772,000  compared to $5,290,000 for the same period last year. The
majority of the  charge-offs  in both  periods  were from  Bankcard and consumer
loans.  The Company will  continue to closely  monitor its loan  positions,  the
related  underwriting  efforts  and  underwriting  in order to  minimize  credit
losses.

UMB FINANCIAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

Non interest income totaled  $40,258,000 for the second quarter of 1998 compared
to  $35,586,000  for the  same  period  of  1997.  For the  first  half of 1998,
non-interest  income  increased to $78,571,000  from  $69,139,000  for the prior
year, an increase of 3.6%.  Nearly all categories of fee income increased as the
Company continues its efforts to grow this revenue source,  which does not carry
the credit and interest rate risk of interest-based  revenue.  Trust and custody
services,  service charges and trading income were the largest components of the
increases in non interest income.

Non interest  expense was  $71,877,000  for the three months ended June 30, 1998
compared to $65,734,000 for the same period of 1997. For the first six months of
1998  non-interest  expense was  $142,416,000  compared to $128,795,000  for the
first six months of 1997. In comparing the quarter and year-to-date increase the
Company  incurred  increases  in  staffing,   occupancy  and  equipment  related
expenses.  Staffing for the Company's  many growth  initiatives,  coupled with a
tight labor market,  has  contributed  to the increase.  Equipment  expense also
increased  as a  result  of  technology  and  conversion  costs  related  to the
replacement and upgrade of cores operating  systems.  The prudent  management of
non-interest expense will continue to be a priority for the Company.

Financial Condition
Total assets at June 30, 1998 were $7.304 billion  compared to $6.439 billion at
June 30, 1997 and $7.054  billion at December 31, 1997.  Loans,  net of unearned
interest,  decreased  to $2.669  billion as of June 30, 1998  compared to $2.735
billion at June 30, 1997.  This  decrease in loans  reflects a very  competitive
loan market in which the Company operates. The increase in investment securities
resulted  from  both a  decrease  in loans  and an  increase  in  deposits,  the
Company's primary funding source for its asset base. Total deposits increased to
$5.595 billion at June 30, 1998 compared to $4.970 billion at June 30, 1997.

Non accrual and restructured loans totaled $12,321,000,  0.46% of loans, at June
30, 1998 compared to $4,769,000, 0.17% of loans, at June 30, 1997 and $4,120,000
at  December  31,  1997,  0.15% of  loans.  Loans  past due 90 days or more were
$9,071,000,  0.34% of loans at June 31, 1998,  compared to $8,456,000,  0.31% of
loans at June 30, 1997and  $7,752,000 at December  31,1997,0.28%  of loans.  The
Company's loan quality  remains strong by industry  standards.  This increase in
non-accrual  loans was primarily the result of one commercial credit risk, which
is not expected to result in a significant loss. The total  non-performing loans
and loans past due 90 days or more were less than 1.0% of total  loans.  At June
30, 1998 the  Company's  allowance for loan losses was  $33,468,000  or 1.25% of
outstanding  loans.  The Company has a  well-diversified  loan portfolio with no
foreign loans and no  significant  credit  exposure to  commercial  real estate.
Delinquency  rates in the  Company's  bankcard  loan  portfolio  are well  below
industry averages.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity position continues to be
strong.  At June 30, 1998, the Company's average loan to deposit ratio was 51.5%
compared to 53.0% at June 30, 1997.  At June 30,  1998,  the average life of the
securities  portfolio was 19 months with 43% of the portfolio matures during the
next twelve months.  The Company has access to various  borrowing markets should
there be a need for additional funding.

Shareholders'  equity  totaled  $644  million at June 30, 1998  compared to $594
million at June 30, 1997 and $624  million at year-end  1997.  During the twelve
months ended June 30, 1998 the Company  increased its treasury stock holdings by
$6  million.  Management  will  continue to consider  treasury  stock  purchases
depending on price, availability and alternative use of funds. At June 30, 1998,
the net  unrealized  gain on  securities  available  for sale was $5.8  million,
compared  to an  unrealized  loss  of  $1.7  million  at June  30,  1997  and an
unrealized gain of $3.9 million at December 31, 1997.

The Company  will  continue to manage its  interest  rate risk using  static gap
analysis  along  with  other  tools  which  help  measure  the impact of various
interest  rate  scenarios.  One of  these  tools  is a  model  which  internally
generates  estimates  of the change in net  portfolio  value  (NPV).  NPV is the
present value of expected cash flows from assets,  liabilities  and  off-balance
sheet contracts. By projecting the timing and amount of future net cash flows an
estimated  value of that asset or liability  can be  determined.  The  following
table sets forth the  Company's  NPV as of June 30, 1998.

YEAR 2000

The approach of the year 2000 presents  significant  issues for many  financial,
information, and operating systems. Many systems in use today may not be able to
interpret  dates after  December  31, 1999  appropriately,  because such systems
allow only two digits to indicate the year in a date. As a result,  such systems
are unable to distinguish January 1, 2000 from January 1, 1900, which could have
adverse  consequences  on the  operations  of the  entity and the  integrity  of
information processing, causing safety, operational and financial concerns.

The Company has adopted a plan to address the year 2000 issues.  Actions include
the following  phases:inventory,  solution,  planning,  renovation,  testing and
implementation.  The  Company  plans  to  substantially  complete  the  required
software  modifications or replacements in 1998. The Company also has an ongoing
program  to review the status of Year 2000  efforts  of its  business  partners,
vendors and large  customers.  While the  Company  believes it is taking all the
appropriate  steps to assure the Company's Year 2000  readiness,  the Company is
dependent  on  business  partners,  vendor and  customer  compliance  to a large
extent.  The  Company  has  estimated  the cost it will pay to third  parties to
remediate  or  replace  systems  to achieve  Year 2000  readiness  at $10 to $15
million.  A majority of this cost has already been  incurred.  In addition,  the
Company has and will  continue to devote  internal  resources  to complete  this
process.  Continquency  plans to this issue will vary depending upon the area of
concern and the  results of testing and  communication  received  from  business
partners,  vendors and customers. The Company has designed its plan to allow for
the commitment of additional  resources to take  corrective  action in the event
that its  original  plan does not address the  significant  issues.  Because the
Company's Year 2000 remediation  process is not complete and due to the reliance
on business partners, vendor and customers the outcome of Year 2000 readiness is
uncertain  and may  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  future
operating results.
