                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999


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 1998
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.  Diluted earnings per share takes
into  account the dilutive  effect of 34,470 and 72,074  shares  issuable  under
options granted by the Company at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

3.       Allowance for Loan Losses:

The following is a summary of the Allowance for Loan Losses for the three months

Other  category  consists  primarily of Overhead and Support  departments of the
Company. The net revenues and expenses of these departments are allocated to the
other segments of the organization in the Company's  periodic segment reporting.
Reported  segment  revenues,  net income and average assets include  revenue and
expense  distributions  for services  performed  for other  segments  within the
Company as well as balances due from other  segments  within the  Company.  Such
intercompany   transactions   and  balances  are  eliminated  in  the  Company's

5. 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 the Company.

6. New  Accounting  Pronouncements:  In June,  1998,  The  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and
Hedging   Activities."   This  standard   requires  entities  to  recognize  all
derivatives as either assets or  liabilities in its financial  statements and to
measure such instruments at their fair value. The Statement is effective for the
Company's  financial  statements for the fiscal year beginning  January 1, 2000.
The  Company is in the process of  evaluating  the  potential  impact of the new
Statement.

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999


The following financial review presents management's  discussion and analysis of
UMB  Financial  Corporation's  consolidated  financial  condition and results of
operations.  This  review  highlights  the major  factors  affecting  results of
operations  and any  significant  changes in financial  condition for the period
ended March 31, 1999.  It should be read in  conjunction  with the  accompanying
consolidated  financial  statements,  notes to  financial  statements  and other
financial statistics appearing elsewhere in this report.

Estimates and forward looking statements are included in this review and as such
are subject to certain risks,  uncertainties and assumptions that are beyond the
Company's ability to control or estimate  precisely.  These statements are based
on current financial and economic data and management's  expectations concerning
future  developments  and their  effects.  They include,  but are not limited to
statements  relating to the  Company's  and  various  third  parties'  Year 2000
readiness efforts. There can be no assurance that results or future developments
will be in  accordance  with the  Company's  expectations  or that the effect of
future developments on the Company will be those anticipated by the Company.

Factors  that could  cause  material  differences  in actual  operating  results
include, but are not limited to, the impact of competition;  changes in pricing,
loan demand,  consumer  savings habits,  employee costs and interest rates;  the
ability of customers to repay loans;  changes in U.S. or international  economic
or political conditions, such as inflation or fluctuation in interest or foreign
exchange rates;  disruptions in operations due to failures of telecommunications
systems,  utility systems,  security clearing systems,  or other elements of the
financial  industry  infrastructure;  the  unavailability  or increased  cost of
certain of certain resources,  including,  without limitation,  those associated
Year 2000 issues;  the ability of third parties to successfully  deal with their
Year 2000 issues,  the  unanticipated  costs and  disruption in operating due to
Year 2000  non-compliance  of the  Company  and/or  its  affiliates,  customers,
suppliers,  counterparties,  public utilities, issuers of investment securities,
and other entities.  While the Company  periodically  reassesses material trends
and  uncertainties  affecting the Company's  results of operations and financial
condition in connection  with the preparation  and  management's  discussion and
analysis  contained in the Company's annual and quarterly  reports,  the Company
does not intend to review or revise  any  particular  forward-looking  statement
referenced herein in light of future events.

Summary UMB Financial Corporation (the Company) earned net income of $16,417,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1999,  compared to $15,156,000 for the same
period a year earlier. This represents per share earnings of $0.81 for the first
quarter of 1999  compared to $0.74 for the first quarter of 1998, an increase of
9.46%.

The Company's  improved  performance has been primarily driven by an increase in
non-interest  income.  Nearly  all  fee  categories  increased  as  the  Company
continues  to build on its  substantial  fee-based  income.  The  Company's  net
interest  income showed a small increase on a year-to-date  basis.  Non interest
expenses  were higher as the Company  continues  its  investments  in personnel,
equipment and technology systems required to sustain long-term growth.

The Board of Directors of the Company has  authorized  the purchase of up to one
million shares of the Company's  stock during 1999, such purchases to be on such
terms and  conditions as management may deem  appropriate.  The purchases may be
made,  from  time  to  time,  in  both  open  market  and  privately  negotiated
transactions.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

Results of  Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 1999 the Company earned net interest income
of  $57,043,000  compared to  $56,813,000  for the first  quarter of 1998.  Loan
volume and continued  decreases in interest  rates have impacted the growth rate
of net  interest  income.  While  the  average  earning  assets  increased,  the
Company's net interest margin  decreased to 3.78% compared to 4.05% for the same
period of 1998.  This decrease  primarily  resulted from  continued  pressure on
short-term  interest rates,  which  negatively  impacted the yield on loans. The
yield on the Company's  investment  portfolio for 1999 also  decreased  from the
same period a year earlier. The Company is not willing to jeopardize the quality
or liquidity of the  investment  portfolio  by changing its  long-term,  prudent
investment philosophy.

The Company's  loan loss  provision for the first quarter of 1999 was $2,487,000
compared to  $2,858,000  for the same period of 1998.  The decrease in provision
for  loan  loss  was  due to a  decrease  in net  loans  and a  decrease  in net
charge-offs.  Net loan  charge-offs  in the  first  three  months  of 1999  were
$2,809,000 compared to $2,831,000 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  and  related
underwriting efforts in order to minimize credit losses.

Non interest  income totaled  $42,515,000 for the first quarter of 1999 compared
to  $36,823,000  for the same period of 1998,  an increase of 15.5%.  Nearly all
categories of fee experienced  double-digit growth for the quarter.  The largest
area of increase was from securities sales and retail brokerage  activities that
showed an increase of more than 30% from the same period one year  earlier.  Fee
income from  deposit  services,  cash  management  services  and trust  services
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.  Non interest  expense was $74,099,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 compared to  $69,049,000  for the same period of 1998. In comparing the
year-to-date  increase the Company incurred  increases in staffing 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 March 31, 1999 were $7.346 billion compared to $6.949 billion at
March 31, 1998 and $7.648 billion at December 31, 1998.  Loans,  net of unearned
interest,  decreased to $2.634  billion as of March 31, 1999  compared to $2.718
billion at March 31, 1998,  yet  increased  from $2.559  billion at December 31,
1998.  This decrease in loans reflects a very  competitive  loan market in which
the Company operates. Total investment securities increased to $3.574 billion as
of March 31, 1999 compared to $2.653  billion at March 31, 1998. The increase in
investment  securities  resulted from the combined effect of a decrease in loans
and a  decrease  in  federal  funds  and  resell  transactions.  Total  deposits
decreased  to $5.376  billion at March 31, 1999  compared  to $5.444  billion at
March 31, 1998 and $5.897 billion at December 31, 1998.

Non accrual and restructured loans totaled $11,755,000, 0.45% of loans, at March
31,  1999  compared  to  $3,837,000,  0.14% of  loans,  at March 31,  1998,  and
$10,746,000 at December 31, 1998, 0.42% of loans. Loans past due 90 days or more
were $5,885,000, 0.22% of loans at March 31, 1999, compared to $9,185,000, 0.34%
of loans at March 31, 1998, and $7,915,000 at December 31,1998,  0.31% of loans.
The  Company's  loan quality  remains  strong by industry  standards.  The total
non-performing  loans and loans  past due 90 days or more were less than 1.0% of
total  loans.  At March 31,  1999 the  Company's  allowance  for loan losses was
$32,847,000 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.

                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's  liquidity position continues to be strong. At March 31, 1999, the
Company's average loan to deposit ratio was 45.7% compared to 51.8% at March 31,
1998.  At March 31, 1999,  the average life of the  securities  portfolio was 17
months with 51% of the portfolio  maturing  during the next twelve  months.  The
Company  has  access to various  borrowing  markets  should  there be a need for
additional funding.

Shareholders'  equity  totaled $659  million at March 31, 1999  compared to $638
million at March 31, 1998 and $663 million at year-end  1998.  During the twelve
months ended March 31, 1999 the Company increased its treasury stock holdings by
$21.5 million.  Management  will continue to consider  treasury stock  purchases
depending on price,  availability  and  alternative  use of funds.  At March 31,
1999, the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale was $6.7 million,
compared  to $6.2  million at March 31, 1998 and $13.7  million at December  31,
1998.

The Company  will  continue to manage its  interest  rate risk using  static gap
analysis along with other tools that help measure the impact of various interest
rate  scenarios.  One of  these  tools  is a  model  that  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 March 31, 1999.

YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 readiness issue is the result of computer  programs that have been
coded to define a year  using two  digits  rather  than  four.  For  example,  a
substantial  number of programs have date sensitive coding which may recognize a
date using "00" as 1900 rather than 2000. If not corrected  this could result in
system  failures  or  miscalculations   causing  disruptions  to  the  Company's
operations,  and a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  operations  and
financial performance.

The Company  has been  actively  working on this issue  since  1996.  A plan was
developed in which Year 2000 issues are divided into two areas - those involving
mission critical functions and those involving  non-critical  functions.  Within
these two areas,  applications  were  further  divided into those over which the
Company had control and those which were controlled by outside vendors.

A  five-step  plan  was then  developed  involving  1)  inventory,  2)  solution
planning, 3) renovation, 4) testing, and 5) implementation.  This plan addresses
both Information  Technology systems and non-information  technology assets such
as equipment containing embedded chips. The approximate  percentage of each type
of  mission  critical  application  for  which the  Company  has  completed  the
respective step of the five-step plan is set forth below:

                                    Company-Controlled     Vendor-Controlled

         Implementation                     93%                   91%

Substantial  progress has been made on the  completion of the five step plan for
non-mission  critical  items:  as of  March  31,  1999,  97% of  all  identified
company-controlled  applications  had been completed  through the testing stage,
and 87% of the  vendor-controlled  applications  had been completed  through the
testing stage. Completion of testing is scheduled for June 30, 1999.

The Company has made  significant  steps  toward  assessing  its hardware and is
making substantial progress toward replacing necessary equipment.  All mainframe
and mid-range  systems are in place, and an inventory of personal  computers has
been concluded.

The  Company  estimates  that the total  cost of its Year 2000  project  will be
approximately  $24 million  dollars.  Of this  amount,  $10 million was spent in
1997;  $12 million was spent in 1998,  and the remaining $2 million is projected
for 1999.  While  these  numbers  are  substantial,  they  include the cost of a
significant  number of system  replacements that would have been required in the
near  future  regardless  of the Year 2000 issue.  These costs are being  funded
through  operating cash flows.  Financial  institutions are heavily dependent on
technology, and the cost of Year 2000 efforts should be viewed in its context as
a significant  portion of the Company's annual  Information  Technology  budget.
Although  the  priority  given to Year 2000 issues may cause  other  Information
Technology projects to be delayed, such delay is not expected to have a material
impact on the Corporation's financial condition, business or operations.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

Year 2000 issues can affect the Company not only as a result of its own internal
systems,  but also as a result of the success of third  parties in dealing  with
their Year 2000 issues.  The Company has in place a program to  investigate  and
quantify the Year 2000 issues arising from its relationships  with third parties
such  as  borrowers,  vendors,  counterparties,   issuers  of  debt  and  equity
securities held by the Company's  subsidiaries and their trust departments,  and
service providers (e.g. the Federal Reserve system, telecommunications providers
and electric  utilities).  Interfaces  and  connectivity  with these parties and
systems also present significant issues. The Company has been contacting certain
third party vendors and other  significant third parties to determine the status
of their Year 2000 plans and progress.  The Company has  established a policy in
which,  as part of its  affiliates'  evaluation of investment  securities,  they
review the  portions  of the public  filings of the  issuers of such  investment
securities describing their respective efforts and status relating to their Year
2000  readiness.  Such  affiliates  do not,  however,  attempt to  independently
confirm or verify any of the  representations or statements made by such issuers
in their public  filings.  There can be no assurance  that each third party will
adequately address its Year 2000 issues.

A failure by the Company to  successfully  remediate its own Year 2000 problems,
or a failure by counterparties,  issuers of securities,  significant  suppliers,
customers  with  substantial  relationships,  or failures in the payment  system
could have a  substantial  negative  impact on the  Company.  In  addition,  the
Company  could face  significant  disruptions  of business as well as  financial
losses if there were failures of  telecommunications  systems,  utility systems,
security clearing systems or other elements of the industry infrastructure.  The
Company's  business,  results of  operations  and financial  positions  could be
materially  adversely affected as a result of any such failures.  Because of the
range of possible  issues  associated with the Companys and third parties' Year
2000 issues,  and the large number of variables  involved,  it is  impossible to
quantify  the  potential  consequence  or costs of  problems  that may  occur if
respective remediation efforts are not successful.

All  of the  foregoing  is  based  on  management's  current  assessment  of the
situation  using  information  available to it.  Other  factors that might cause
material changes include,  but are not limited to, the loss of key personnel and
the ability to respond to unforeseen  complications.  Because the Company's Year
2000  efforts are not  entirely  complete,  and due to its  reliance on business
partners,  vendors,  customers,  utilities,   telecommunications  providers  and
others,  the outcome of Year 2000  readiness is  uncertain,  and such issues may
have a material adverse effect on the Company's  future financial  condition and
future operating results.

The Company  continues to develop  contingency  plans to address failures due to
Year 2000 issues  relating  to, among other  things,  its  operations,  systems,
physical locations,  products, vendors and public infrastructure.  The Company's
contingency  planning  includes  remediation   contingency  plans  and  business
resumption  contingency  plans.  Remediation  contingency  plans are designed to
address  alternative  courses  of action in the event  remediation  of a mission
critical  system  falls  behind  schedule  or is  not  successfully  remediated.
Business resumption contingency plans are designed to address Year 2000 problems
that could  arise even  though the  Company  and third  parties  have  completed
remediation.  The Year 2000 business  resumption  contingency  planning includes
event plans for each functional department, documented back-up procedures in the
event of a failure,  identification  of supplies,  materials and processes  that
must  be on  hand  in the  event  the  plan is  activated  and  coordination  of
personnel.  Business  resumption  planning  is well under way and will  continue
through the second two quarter of 1999.  Notwithstanding  extensive  contingency
planning,  the  failure of  certain  mission  critical  third  parties,  such as
utilities,  telecommunications  providers,  transportation  service providers or
certain governmental entities could adversely affect the Company.
