                                   Prospectus
                             Units of Participation
                      UMB Bank Collective Investment Funds
                                  June 7, 1999

This  Prospectus  offers  Units of  Participation  ("Units")  in three  separate
Collective  Investment  Funds (the "Funds") and individually a "Fund") that have
been  established  and are maintained by the Trust  Department of UMB Bank, n.a.
("UMB") to provide  investment  mediums for retirement  plans  utilizing the UMB
Bank Defined  Contribution  Plan and Trust and other qualified  retirement plans
for  which  UMB is  Trustee.  The Units are only  offered  to such  plans.  This
Prospectus replaces the Prospectus initially delivered to investors in the Funds
as of March 13, 1998,  in order to update the  financial  data and certain other
information contained in the March 13, 1998 Prospectus. This Prospectus may only
be used with the financial statements and related notes set forth in part two of
this Prospectus and should be retained for future reference. Units are available
in the following Funds (See Investment Policies of the Investment Funds).

Fund for Pooling  Equity  Investments  of Employee  Trusts (the  "Pooled  Equity
Fund").  The primary  objective of the Pooled  Equity Fund is growth in value of
units of the Fund through  investments in equity securities and the reinvestment
of  income  therefrom.  Investment  in other  securities  to the  extent  deemed
appropriate by UMB is not prohibited.

Fund for Pooling Debt  Investments of Employee  Trusts (the "Pooled Debt Fund").
The  primary  objective  of the Pooled  Debt Fund is  stability  in the value of
underlying assets through  investment in good quality fixed income  obligations,
such as those classified as A rated or better by standard rating  services,  and
growth in unit values through the reinvestment of investment  income  therefrom.
Investment in other  securities to the extent deemed  appropriate  by UMB is not
prohibited.

Pooled Income Fund for Employee  Trusts (the "Pooled Income Fund").  The primary
objective  of the Pooled  Income Fund is to provide a high  degree of  liquidity
through the  investment of funds in short-term  fixed income  obligations.  Unit
value growth is determined by the level of short-term  interest  rates from time
to time as income is  reinvested.  Investment in other  securities to the extent
deemed appropriate by UMB is not prohibited.

The Units of a Fund are offered at a price that is  calculated  by dividing  the
market  value  of all the  assets  in the  Fund  including  cash,  if any,  less
liabilities  at the close of business on the valuation  date by the total number
of  outstanding  Units of that Fund on the  valuation  date (the date on which a
participating  plan may invest in a Fund).  No discounts or commissions are paid
as a result of the sale of the Units.

This  Prospectus  also describes the  investment of assets of a retirement  plan
that utilizes the UMB Bank Defined  Contribution Plan and Trust (a "DC Plan") in
one or more of the Funds,  the right of an  individual  participant  to elect to
direct the investment of assets in such participant's  account number under a DC
Plan and distribution of benefits under a DC Plan.

These  securities  have not been approved or  disapproved  by the Securities and
Exchange  Commission,  any state  securities  commission or any other regulatory
authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon the accuracy or
adequacy of this Prospectus.  Any  representation  to the contrary is a criminal
offense.

Units of  Participation  in the funds are not  deposits  or  obligations  of, or
guaranteed or endorsed by UMB Bank,  n.a.,  and units of  participation  are not
federally  insured by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation,  The Federal
Reserve Board, or any other  governmental  agency,  and involve  investment risk
including the possible loss of the principal invested. The collective investment
funds are not registered as investment  companies  under the Investment  Company
Act of 1940 and, therefore,  are not subject to compliance with the requirements
of such act.  Units are not  "redeemable  securities"  within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

See "Risk Factors" on page 2 for a discussion of certain  matters that should be
considered in evaluating an investment in the Units.

This  Prospectus  does not constitute an offering in any  jurisdiction  in which
such offering may not be legally made.

                                  Risk Factors


There is a market risk inherent in any investment in securities, whether equity,
debt or other  instruments  since the prices of securities may fluctuate because
of market conditions, economic factors, governmental fiscal and monetary policy,
and other reasons that cannot be  anticipated  and are out of the control of the
Trustee.  Accordingly,  there can be no assurance  that the objectives of a Fund
will be achieved,  and at the time Units in a Fund are  withdrawn by reason of a
change in the investment in a Participant's Account, the payment of benefits, or
the  withdrawal  of  voluntary  contributions,  the value of such  Participant's
interest  may be more or less than the  amount  contributed  to a  Participant's
Account.

No  person  has  been  authorized  to  give  any  information  or  to  make  any
representations  in connection  with this offering other than those contained in
this Prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representations  must
not be relied upon.

Investors  are advised to consult with an attorney or tax advisor  regarding the
requirements  for  establishing a retirement plan and trust and investing in the
UMB Collective Investment Funds and the tax consequences thereof.

                   Summary of the Collective Investment Funds

The Collective  Investment  Funds are trusts that have been  established by UMB,
which is also  Trustee of the Funds,  for the  purpose of  providing  investment
mediums for certain  qualified  retirement  plans.  There are three  Funds,  the
investment objectives of which are as follows:

Fund for Pooling Equity Investments of Employee Trusts. The primary objective of
the Pooled Equity Fund,  which was created by UMB in 1955, in growth in value of
units of the Fund through  investments in equity securities and the reinvestment
of  income  therefrom.  Investment  in other  securities  to the  extent  deemed
appropriate by UMB is not prohibited.  See Investment Policies of the Collective
Investment Funds.

Fund for Pooling Debt Investments of Employee Trusts.  The primary  objective of
the Debt Fund,  which was created by UMB in 1955,  is  stability in the value of
underlying assets through  investment in good quality fixed income  obligations,
such as those classified as A rated or better by standard rating  services,  and
growth in unit values through the reinvestment of investment  income  therefrom.
Investment in other  securities to the extent deemed  appropriate  by UMB is not
prohibited. See Investment Policies of the Collective Investment Funds.

Pooled  Income Fund for  Employee  Trusts.  The primary  objective of the Pooled
Income  Fund,  which was created by UMB in 1974,  is to provide a high degree of
liquidity   through  the   investment  of  funds  in  short-term   fixed  income
obligations. Unit value growth is determined by the level of short-term interest
rates from time to time as income is reinvested.  Investment in other securities
to the  extent  deemed  appropriate  by UMB is not  prohibited.  See  Investment
Policies of the Collective Investment Funds.

The  assets of each of the Funds are  managed  by UMB as  Trustee.  UMB  charges
against the assets of each plan under the UMB Bank Defined Contribution Plan and
Trust certain fees which are set forth in a schedule published from time to time
by UMB.  No  start-up  fees are  charged  new  participants  under a plan.  More
detailed information  concerning fees for specific  transactions under a plan is
set forth  under  Summary  of the UMB  Defined  Contribution  Plan and Trust and
Taxes, Expenses and Fees. All fees payable in connection with a plan are subject
to change.

Except for  withdrawal of voluntary  contributions  (See Employee  Nondeductible
Voluntary Contributions) the methods described under Benefits are the only means
by which a  participant  may redeem or  receive  benefits  from a  participant's
account under a plan.

Notwithstanding  the  respective  investment  objectives  in the three  separate
funds, UMB, as Trustee,  has broad discretion in the investment of the assets in
the funds, and is not prohibited by the UMB Bank Defined  Contribution  Plan and
Trust,  from  concentrating  the assets of a fund in securities of one issuer or
one industry,  purchasing  securities on margin,  making short sales, trading in
commodities, purchasing the securities of new enterprises or engaging in various
investment practices which are not specifically set forth in this Prospectus.

                         Selected Financial Information

The historical  performance of the Pooled Equity Fund, the Pooled Debt Fund, and
the Pooled Income Fund is set forth below for the periods indicated.  The tables
contain  selected data per Unit for each Fund based on the annual average number
of Units  outstanding  for  each of the  five  years  presented  in the  tables.
Information  in these tables  should be read in  conjunction  with the financial
statements  for the three  years ended  October  31, 1998 and the related  notes
thereto  as set forth in part two of this  Prospectus.  Past  performance  is no
guarantee of future results.

                                     Summary
                                     of the
                  UMB Bank Defined Contribution Plan and Trust

                                 Plan and Trust

In order to provide certain employers with a means by which they may establish a
qualified  retirement plan through which the employers may have contributions to
such plans  invested in the Funds,  UMB offers a  Retirement  Plan  ("Plan") and
related   Trust   ("Trust")   for   adoption  by   corporations,   associations,
self-employed  individuals and partnerships (each called "Employer"),  which has
been  determined  by the  Internal  Revenue  Service  to be in  compliance  with
applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA"). See UMB Bank Defined Contribution Plan and Trust. UMB acts as
Trustee under a Plan and Trust that has been established by an employer. See UMB
as  Trustee  of  the  Defined  Contribution  Plan  and  Trust.   Investments  of
contributions  to  a  Trust,  except  contributions  to  Individually   Directed
Accounts,  shall  be made by the  Trustee  in its  absolute  discretion  and the
Trustee may invest contributions in the Pooled Equity Fund, the Pooled Debt Fund
and  the  Pooled  Income  Fund  or  any  combination   thereof.   Investment  of
contributions   to  an  Individually   Directed   Account  is  directed  by  the
Participant,  and such  contributions may be invested in the Pooled Equity Fund,
the Pooled Debt Fund,  the Pooled Income Fund or in any form of  investment  not
prohibited by ERISA.  At the request of a Participant in a Plan and Trust,  life
insurance or annuity contracts may be purchased for such Participant  subject to
the  limitations and  restrictions of the Internal  Revenue Code and Regulations
promulgated thereunder. See Investment of Participants' Accounts and Definitions
of Certain Terms.

                           Adoption of Plan and Trust

Any  Employer  may adopt a Plan and Trust by  executing  an  Adoption  Agreement
designating  therein,  among other things,  (1) the eligibility  requirement for
employees in terms of age and continuous  period of employment,  (2) whether the
Plan  is a  pension  or  profit-sharing  plan,  (3)  the  formula  for  Employer
contributions to the Plan, (4) the vesting schedule for Employer  contributions,
and (5) the allocation of Employer  contributions.  Adoption of a Plan and Trust
establishes a separate Trust for each adopting Employer. See Adoption of a Plan.

                           Administration of the Plan

The Employer designates a Plan Administrator for purposes of the requirements of
ERISA and if no Plan  Administrator is designated,  the Employer is deemed to be
the Plan  Administrator.  The Plan  Administrator  determines the eligibility of
Employees for participation and benefits, maintains certain records, advises the
Trustee regarding payments and individual  investment directions of Participants
and has the  exclusive  right to  establish  such  rules and  procedures  as are
reasonably  necessary for proper and efficient  administration  of the Plan. The
Plan  Administrator  is charged with all duties  imposed  upon an  administrator
under ERISA. See Amendment and Termination.

                                   The Trustee

UMB is the Trustee of a Plan and Trust that has been  adopted by an Employer and
may  not  be  designated  as  a  Plan   Administrator.   The  Trustee   receives
contributions  made  under the Plan and may invest  them in its own  discretion,
unless a  Participant  elects to direct his own  account,  in the Pooled  Equity
Fund, the Pooled Debt Fund, the Pooled Income Fund, or any combination  thereof.
The  Trustee  is not  responsible  for  the  administration  of the  Plan or for
monitoring the Employer's compliance with the Plan or for the performance of the
Plan Administrator. See UMB as Trustee of the Funds.

UMB has been a national  bank since 1934 and was formerly The City National Bank
& Trust  Company of Kansas  City.  It became a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of UMB
Financial  Corporation in 1969. UMB's total assets as of September 30, 1998 were
$3,825,739,000 and as of the same date its deposits were  $3,042,451,000 and its
total capital accounts were $354,166,000.  The Trust Department of UMB maintains
several  collective  funds for trust  investment and three separate pooled funds
for  employee  benefit  plan  investment.  The Trust  Department  of UMB,  as of
September 30, 1998, managed approximately $14,500,000,000 in assets.

The  Trustee  may resign at any time by giving  sixty (60) days'  prior  written
notice to the  Employer.  The  Employer  may remove  the  Trustee at any time by
giving sixty (60) days' prior  written  notice to the  Trustee.  In the event of
resignation  or removal of the Trustee,  the Employer  must appoint in writing a
successor Trustee and such successor Trustee must evidence its acceptance of the
trusteeship in writing. See Resignation, Removal and Succession of Trustee.
<PAGE>
                           Investment of Contributions

Unless a Participant  specifically elects, by written notice to the Trustee on a
form  provided  for  such  purpose,  to  direct  the  Trustee  to  separate  the
Participant's  interest in the Plan in a separate account which is designated an
Individually  Directed Account, the Trustee will invest all contributions to the
Plan  in  its  own  discretion.   In  its  discretion  the  Trustee  may  invest
contributions  in any one or more of the Collective  Investment  Funds.  See the
Collective Investment Funds.

                                 Life Insurance

If authorized by the Employer in the Plan and at the request of any Participant,
any  portion  which  is  less  than  fifty  percent  (50%)  of  the   Employer's
contribution  to such  Participant's  Account may be applied to the  purchase of
life insurance or annuity contracts.  The Trustee will be the beneficiary of the
proceeds of any such life  insurance  or annuity  contract  and the owner of all
such contracts. Upon the death of a Participant,  the Plan Administrator and the
Trustee will take  appropriate  action to procure payment of the proceeds of any
such contract to the listed beneficiaries of the Participant.  See Investment of
Participants' Accounts.

                    Charges Applicable to the Plan and Trust

Unless  otherwise paid by the Employer,  the following will  constitute  charges
upon the Trust and will be paid by the Trustee out of the Trust:

(1) all taxes  imposed upon the Trust,  the income or assets of the Trust or the
Trustee in its capacity as Trustee;
(2) all expenses incurred by the Trustee in
its capacity as Trustee,  including attorney's fees, accountants' fees and other
expenses  incurred by the Trustee in the performance of its duties in connection
with the  Trust;
and
(3) fees and other  compensation  of the  Trustee  for its
services under the Plan.

Within  sixty  (60) days  after the close of each Plan year,  the  Trustee  will
render to the Employer and to the Plan Administrator a written accounting of all
charges made upon the Trust during the preceding year,  such written  accounting
to be approved by the Employer. See Taxes, Expenses and Fees.

                            Federal Tax Consequences

In computing adjusted gross income for federal income tax purposes,  an Employer
may deduct the full amount of contributions to the Plan, within the contribution
limits of the Plan, on behalf of the Participants who are common-law  employees,
and such  contributions  will  not be  includable  in the  gross  income  of the
employees.  Contributions on behalf of the  Participants  who are  self-employed
persons will be includable in gross income, but such a Participant, in computing
adjusted gross income,  may deduct the Employer's  contribution on his behalf up
to $30,000 or the percentage  contribution limit of the Plan, whichever is less.
Amounts  distributed  from the Trust generally are subject to federal income tax
at the time of distribution.  However, benefit payments representing a return of
Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions are not taxable income. See Federal Income
Tax  Consequences  of UMB  Defined  Contribution  Plan and  Trust  and Other Tax
Consequences.

                         THE COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT FUNDS

                      Investment of Participants' Accounts

Subject to the right of any  Participant  to elect to direct the  investments of
his or her  Individually  Directed  Account,  including  the right to direct the
purchase  of  life  insurance,   the  Trustee  manages  the  investment  of  all
participants'  accounts under each separate  participating  retirement plan in a
Fund as a single  fund.  The assets of each such plan are invested in the Funds,
with the debt/equity  ratios determined from time to time by the Trustee,  often
following consultation with or recommendations by the Employer.

Records of the Participants' interests in the separate participating  retirement
plans (not to be confused with the Funds) may be maintained either on a "dollars
and  cents"  basis,  or  on  a  "shares"  basis,  whichever  the  Trustee  deems
appropriate in each case.

Where a "shares"  basis  accounting  method is  employed,  shares are  initially
created  at the  value  of $1 each.  At each  subsequent  valuation  date of the
particular  retirement  Plan,  the value of each share is determined by dividing
the number of outstanding shares of such plan into the total current fair market
value of all net assets of the  retirement  plan.  Shares  representing  benefit
payments to be distributed or insurance  premiums to be paid as of any pertinent
plan  valuation  date are  cancelled  at their  value  on that  valuation  date.
Similarly,  new shares representing additional  contributions to be allocated to
participants  are created at the share value  applicable on the  pertinent  plan
valuation date.

In  determining  the  current  fair  market  value  of  assets  of a  particular
participating  retirement  plan,  the  current  unit  values  of the  Funds,  as
determined  by  the  Trustee,   are   multiplied  by  the  number  of  units  of
participation in a Fund or the Funds owned by the particular plan.

The regular  valuation date for each  participating  retirement plan is the last
business day of the plan year.  Additional  valuation dates may occur throughout
the plan year as necessary or desirable for administrative  purposes,  including
the occurrence of a benefit  distribution  event and the allocation of voluntary
or salary deferral  contributions.  The additional valuation dates correspond to
the last business day of a calendar month.

                    Summary of Units of Participation Values

The  table  below  shows the value at each  annual  valuation  date for the date
indicated of a unit of participation in each of the Funds:

                              Investment Management

In managing the investments of the Funds, UMB as Trustee for the Funds,  invests
and reinvests the assets of the Funds in a manner  consistent  with the policies
described below under "Investment Policies of the Collective  Investment Funds."
UMB's  Trust  Department  is  responsible  for the  continuing  supervision  and
evaluation of all investment funds.  Research,  portfolio  management,  security
trading,  and  statistical  review  and  analysis  are  carried  on by the Trust
Department under the supervision of the senior trust investment officer.


All  investments  of the Funds in  securities  are  reviewed and approved by the
Trust  Management  and Trust Policy  Committees  of UMB.  These  committees  are
composed  of senior bank  officers  and/or  directors.  Portfolio  managers  are
provided with specific guidelines with respect to the balance between equity and
fixed income securities, diversification of
<PAGE>
equity  investment  by industry and by company,  and the timing of purchases and
sales.  The  guidelines  are  prepared  by UMB's  Trust  Department,  subject to
approval by UMB's Trust Policy Committee.

                      Brokerage of Securities Transactions

The Trust  Department  of UMB does not act as a broker  or dealer in  securities
transactions.  Moreover,  as a matter of general  policy,  no person  exercising
discretionary  investment  authority on behalf of UMB is permitted to acquire or
dispose of a  substantial  portion of  securities of any issuer at the time such
securities are being  purchased or sold by or for any of the Funds.  It is UMB's
general  practice to select  security  brokers on the basis of their  ability to
provide the best  execution on the purchase or sale of portfolio  securities for
all of the Funds. Fixed income security  transactions are normally done on a net
basis  while  commissions  are  paid  for the  execution  of  common  stock  and
convertible  security   transactions.   When  executing  security   transactions
requiring commissions,  UMB gives consideration to research services provided by
brokers  and,  therefore,  does not limit  the  placing  of  orders  to  brokers
providing  only sales  execution  services.  A portion of these  commissions  is
derived from security  transactions for the Funds.  Research reports received in
exchange for commission  business cover a wide variety of subjects  ranging from
economic and monetary and fiscal policy through  reports on specific  companies,
and such research is used extensively by UMB's  analytical  group. UMB may cause
the  Fund to pay a  member  of an  exchange,  broker  or  dealer  an  amount  of
commission  for  effecting a securities  transaction  in excess of the amount of
commission  another  member of an exchange,  broker or dealer would have charged
for effecting the  transaction,  but only when UMB has  determined in good faith
that such amount of  commission  was  reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage  and  research  services  provided by such  member,  broker or dealer,
viewed  in  terms  of  either  that  particular  transaction  or  UMB's  overall
responsibilities  with  respect  to  the  accounts  as  to  which  it  exercises
investment discretion.

In addition to research  services and  information  obtained in connection  with
specific  brokerage  transactions  as described  above,  UMB  currently has such
commission  agreements,  understandings  or both with Bear Stearns & Co.;  Paine
Webber;   Standard  &  Poor's   Corporation;   Morgan  Stanley,   Inc.;   Boston
Institutional  Services;  Capital Institutional  Services,  Inc.; Paragon; Frank
Russell;  and Wm. O'Neil,  concerning  the providing of  statistical  reports on
economic  conditions  and reports  relative  to the  investment  performance  of
various money managers and data on selected  securities  that are considered for
purchase in these Funds, all such reports and data having been compiled by third
parties.  The commissions paid to the companies  providing such reports and data
aggregate  approximately sixty percent (60%) of the total brokerage  commissions
paid by UMB on an annual  basis.  Such reports and data are  available to UMB in
its management of pooled funds as well as all of its other accounts.

             Investment Policies of the Collective Investment Funds

                              Investment Objectives

The primary investment objective of each of the Funds is set forth under Summary
of the Collective  Investment Funds.  With the exception of the U.S.  Government
and Federal Agency  issues,  not more than 10% of the market value of the assets
of any Fund is  invested  in the  securities  of a  particular  issuer.  UMB, as
Trustee,  seeks to  realize  the  investment  objective  of each of the Funds as
follows:

Pooled Equity Fund. This Fund is invested in a broadly diversified  portfolio of
common   stocks  and   convertible   securities   which  is   designed  to  give
representation  in those  segments  of  industry  which UMB feels will grow more
rapidly than the economy as a whole.  These  investments are  supplemented  from
time  to  time  by  some  exposure  to  more  cyclical  industries  when  deemed
appropriate considering the objectives of the Fund. Current yield is not a prime
consideration as growth in value is sought through  appreciation of capital over
a period of years. At such time as economic and other  consideration  dictate, a
significant  portion of the Fund may be  invested  in  short-term  fixed  income
obligations.

Pooled Debt Fund. This Fund is invested  primarily in U.S.  government,  federal
agency  and  corporate   fixed  income   obligations,   mortgages  and  mortgage
participations.  In managing the assets of this Fund,  consideration is given to
the  prospective  trends in short,  intermediate  and long-term  interest rates,
yield differentials between various grades and classifications of securities and
attractiveness of discount or premium bonds. Funds awaiting permanent investment
or  distribution  are placed in  short-term  money market  instruments.  Capital
growth is attained primarily through reinvestment of interest income.

Pooled  Income Fund.  This Fund is invested in  short-term  (maturities  up to 5
years) fixed  income  obligations  in order to provide  maximum  current  income
consistent  with  ready  marketability.  Investments  may be made in  direct  or
guaranteed  obligations  of the United  States of America or  agencies  thereof,
state or local government  agencies,  debt securities  issued by corporations or
other  business  organizations,  including  commercial  paper,  certificates  of
deposits issued by commercial  banks (other than UMB),  savings banks or savings
and loan  associations,  other  securities or  obligations  of the type or types
commonly known as money-market instruments or liquid guaranteed contracts issued
by major  insurance  companies and are
<PAGE>
concentrated in those areas which appear most  attractive,  quality  considered.
Maturities  are staggered to provide  liquidity  based on  historical  cash flow
considerations.  Growth in capital values resulting from reinvested  income will
vary significantly  with changes in short-term  interest rates, but fluctuations
in capital values are generally minimal by reason of short maturities.

                           Valuation of Funds' Assets

The Trustee of the Funds revalues the units of  participation of each Fund as of
each Fund's  valuation  date. The last business day of each month is the regular
valuation  date. The new unit value is computed by determining  the market value
of all assets of the Fund,  including  cash,  if any, less  liabilities,  at the
close of business on the  valuation  date,  and then  dividing that value by the
total number of units outstanding on that date.

On each valuation date, the Trustee computes the net income or loss of each Fund
since the last  valuation  date.  All such income is  included in the  principal
value of the Fund and of each outstanding  unit. Income is retained in each Fund
for reinvestment and is not distributed in cash to each participating retirement
plan.

Any  retirement   plan   participating   in  the  Funds  may  acquire  units  of
participation  in a Fund or may redeem any units it holds on any valuation  date
at the new unit value.  Any plan that is redeeming units must give notice of its
intention to do so at least five days in advance of a valuation date.

                                 Turnover Rates

UMB cannot estimate with any reasonable  certainty what the annual turnover rate
for the  assets  held by the Funds will be. If the value of  withdrawals  from a
Fund exceeds the value of contributions  directed to be invested in such Fund in
a given  year,  that Fund will be  required  to reduce its  holdings  (and incur
brokerage fees) independent of any sales and purchases made by UMB as Trustee of
the Funds in its efforts to achieve the  investment  objectives of such Fund. In
any event,  the turnover rate of a Fund will depend upon the extent UMB deems it
reasonable  and  appropriate  to dispose of and  replace  certain of such Fund's
investments as a means of achieving its investment objectives.

The  turnover  rates of the Pooled  Equity  Fund,  the Pooled  Debt Fund and the
Pooled Income Fund for the past five fiscal years are shown in the table below:

                                         Annual Turnover Rates*
                           1998      1997     1996      1995     1994
                           ----      ----     ----      ----     ----
Equities and Convertibles
  in Pooled Equity Fund    44.54%    40.36%  24.23%    30.59%    16.32%
Marketable Debt in Pooled
  Debt Fund                32.11%    44.22%  22.27%     20.78%   13.78%
Pooled Income Fund         785.76%  788.29% 828.79%    743.18%  438.62%

*All turnover  rates are calculated as a percentage of market value of assets in
the  respective  Fund.  The basic method of  calculation of turnover rates is to
divide the total sales  (excluding  short-term  securities) for a quarter by the
average  market  value for the quarter and then add the four  quarterly  changes
together to obtain the annual turnover rate.

                           UMB as Trustee of the Funds

Regulations  of the  Comptroller  of the  Currency  prohibit UMB from having any
interest in the Funds other than in its  capacity as Trustee.  Such  regulations
prohibit UMB from lending money to, selling  property to or purchasing  property
from a Fund except for  temporary net cash  overdrafts,  and no assets of a Fund
may be invested in stock or obligations of UMB, except that funds held by UMB as
Trustee pending  suitable  investment or distribution may temporarily be held in
time or savings deposits with UMB. UMB cannot purchase  securities for the Funds
from its own portfolio or trading account. Regulations of the Comptroller of the
Currency  also prohibit UMB from making any loan on the security of the units of
participation.


Such  regulations  do not prohibit UMB from  investing the assets of any Fund in
the securities of issuers which have borrowed funds from UMB's  commercial  loan
division  or which  maintain  deposit or other  accounts  or  otherwise  have an
ongoing  banking  relationship  with UMB, and UMB may purchase the securities of
such issuers for any of the Funds  (including  securities  the proceeds of which
may be used,  in whole or in part,  to repay  loans to such  issuers  from UMB).
<PAGE>
However,  in acting as Trustee for the Funds and other fiduciary  accounts,  the
personnel of UMB's Trust  Department do not discuss their  investment  decisions
with any  personnel  of UMB's  commercial  banking  department,  and  investment
decisions  for the  Funds  and other  fiduciary  accounts  are made by the Trust
Department  solely  from  the  standpoint  of the  interest  of  such  fiduciary
accounts.

                          Definitions of Certain Terms

As used in this Prospectus, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated
below. These definitions are qualified by reference to the Plan and Trust, which
should be consulted for the complete definitions of the terms used therein.

                               Adoption of a Plan

An Employer may adopt a Plan and  establish a Trust,  subject to  acceptance  by
UMB, by completing and duly executing an Adoption  Agreement.  The Employer must
indicate  in the  Adoption  Agreement  whether  the  Plan  is a new  Plan  or an
amendment  and  continuation  of another  retirement  plan.  If the latter,  the
amendment and continuation must be permitted by the terms and conditions of such
other plan,  and all assets of that plan must be  transferred to UMB, as Trustee
of the  Plan.  Generally,  where  the  predecessor  plan was a  qualified  plan,
appointment of UMB as successor  Trustee will not have adverse tax  consequences
to the Employer or to any Participant.

The Plan provides for election by the Employer  concerning the following details
of participation, which may differ as between different Employers, and which are
stated in the Adoption  Agreement:  (1) the Effective  Date of the Plan; (2) the
number  of  months  of  service   required  of  Employees  to  be  eligible  for
participation;  (3) the vesting  schedule  for Employer  contributions;  (4) the
amount to be contributed by the Employer on behalf of each Participation,  which
cannot exceed certain limitations,  described below under  "Contributions";  (5)
whether  the  Plan is to be a  Pension  or  Profit  Sharing  Plan;  (6)  whether
participant loans, life insurance,  salary deferral  contributions and voluntary
contributions are authorized;  and (7) the allocation of Employer contributions.
The  Employer is free to amend the Plan to change one or more of such  elections
although amendments are subject to the general restrictions on amendments of the
Plan by an Employer. See Amendment and Termination.
<PAGE>

            UMB as Trustee of the Defined Contribution Plan and Trust
The Plan gives UMB, as Trustee of the Trust established thereunder, broad powers
with respect to the management and disposition of Trust assets. These powers, as
more fully set forth in Article II of the Plan,  include the right to invest and
reinvest  the assets of the Trust in  evidences  of  indebtedness,  evidences of
ownership,  securities  and other  personal  property  and real  property as the
Trustee shall in its absolute  discretion  select;  purchase life  insurance and
annuity contracts when directed to do so by the Plan Administrator;  to maintain
a portion  of the assets of the Trust in cash and  unproductive  of income as it
may deem advisable or expedient; to sell, assign, exchange,  convey or otherwise
transfer, lease, mortgage, encumber, improve, abandon, alter or raze any part or
all of the  securities  or other  property  of the  Trust  upon  such  terms and
conditions as in its sole discretion it shall deem to be in the best interest of
the Trust; to exercise all the rights with respect to any  certificates of stock
or other  securities  held by it as assets of the Trust,  including the right to
vote all certificates of stock; to sue or defend any suit or legal proceeding by
or against the Trust;  to acquire and hold any  securities or other  property of
the Trust  without  disclosing  its  fiduciary  capacity;  to employ  attorneys,
accountants  and others,  as it may deem  advisable in the best interests of the
Trust, and to pay their  reasonable  expenses and compensation out of the Trust;
to execute and deliver, as Trustee, any and all instruments in writing necessary
or proper for the effective  exercise of any of the Trustee's  powers; to borrow
money from  others and to advance  its own funds to the Trust upon such terms it
deems to be in the best  interests of the Trust;  to determine what is principal
and what is  income  of the  Trust and to  allocate  gains  and  losses  between
principal  and income;  to sell options to purchase the  securities  held in the
Trust;  and to  perform  any and all other  acts in its  judgment  necessary  or
appropriate  for  the  proper  and  advantageous   management,   investment  and
distribution of the Trust.

                               Plan Administrator
ERISA provides that  administrators and trustees of certain retirement plans and
trusts are subject to certain  fiduciary  standards  in addition to any standard
imposed by instruments establishing a plan or trust. In the case of a Plan under
the Plan and Trust, the Plan Administrator will be the Employer for all purposes
of ERISA and the Code unless  another  person is so  designated  in the Adoption
Agreement.  ERISA  prohibits the Plan  Administrators,  Employers,  Trustees and
certain related persons from engaging in certain transactions with the assets of
a retirement trust, including,  generally,  the sale, exchange, lease or loan of
property,  the furnishing of goods,  services or facilities,  or the transfer of
assets of the  trust,  to or by such  persons.  ERISA  imposes  excise  taxes on
employers,  trustees  and other  disqualified  persons who engage in  prohibited
transactions  with a plan.  ERISA also imposes  civil  liabilities  on trustees,
administrators  and other  fiduciaries for violations of the Act's standards and
requires  the  Plan  Administrator  to make  detailed  disclosures  and  reports
regarding a plan or trust and its administration.

UMB will assist Employers and the Plan Administrators in meeting their reporting
and disclosure  requirements under ERISA by preparing and distributing  annually
to  Participants  after the close of the Funds' fiscal year a revised edition of
the Prospectus and its  accompanying  financial  statements,  and a statement of
transactions  for  each  Participant's  Account.  UMB  will  also  provide  such
Employers and Plan Administrators with such information  regarding the Funds and
the  Plan as is  necessary  to  enable  such  persons  to meet  their  statutory
responsibilities. However, Employers adopting the Plan should seek the advice of
counsel  regarding the reporting  requirements  and other  responsibilities  and
duties to which they may be subject under ERISA.

                            Participation in the Plan
The Plan provides that,  subject to certain  limitations,  each Employee will be
eligible to  participate  in the Plan as of his Entry Date. An Employee  becomes
eligible to  participate,  if he is then  employed,  either on the date the Plan
becomes   effective,   if  the  Employee  has  then  satisfied  the  eligibility
requirements  of the  Plan,  or the first  Entry  Date  thereafter  on which the
Employee meets the  eligibility  requirements of the Plan. If the Employee has a
Break in Service  before he satisfies the period of  employment  required by the
Plan,  months of service  before the Break in Service  will be  disregarded  for
purposes of determining eligibility during a period of subsequent employment.

                                  Contributions
Employer  Contributions.  If the Employer  establishes a money purchase  pension
plan,  the  Employer  is  required  to  make  contributions  on  behalf  of each
Participant,  in  an  amount  equal  to  the  percentage  of  the  Participant's
Compensation  specified in the Adoption  Agreement,  which may not exceed 25% of
total Compensation.

If the Employer adopts a Profit Sharing Plan,  contributions  may be made by the
Employer  on  behalf  of any  Participant  in a  taxable  year  of the  Employer
regardless  of whether  the  Employer  has  current or  accumulated  earnings or
profits.  The  Employer's  contribution  is determined  in  accordance  with the
Employer Contribution Formula in the Adoption Agreement executed by the Employer
which may not exceed 15% of total Compensation.
<PAGE>
An Employer  may adopt more than one Plan,  but under no  circumstances  may the
total amount  allocated to any one Participant  exceed 25% of the  Participant's
Compensation from the Employer or $30,000, whichever is less.

Employee Nondeductible Voluntary Contributions.  If the Employer so elects, each
Participant may contribute to the Plan for his own Account, but only through his
Employer up to an amount, when added to the allocation  otherwise made on behalf
of the participant,  that does not exceed 25% of the participant's  compensation
or $30,000,  whichever is less.  Earnings on voluntary  contributions are exempt
from federal income tax while held in the Trust.  If the Employer  elects in its
Adoption  Agreement,  voluntary  contributions  may be  withdrawn as of the last
business day of any quarter,  after all adjustments required under the Plan have
been made, by written notice to UMB, through the Plan  Administrator.  Voluntary
contributions  are allocated to a contributing  Participant's  Account as of the
last day of the quarter in which they are received by UMB.

Salary Deferral  Contributions.  If the Employer  elects,  each  Participant may
reduce his  compensation  from the Employer in exchange for contribution of that
amount to the Plan on behalf of the  Participant.  Such amounts are not included
in the income of the  Participant,  until  received as a  distribution  from the
Plan. If the Employer  elects,  the  Participant  may be able to withdraw salary
deferral  contributions  prior to termination of employment upon reaching age 59
1/2 or hardship.

                           Restrictions on Investments

Although UMB, as Trustee,  has broad investment  discretion as to how the assets
of the Funds  are  invested,  the Plan  requires  UMB not to invest or  reinvest
assets of the Funds in securities  issued by any Employer  which has adopted the
Plan. The Plan further  specifies that UMB, as Trustee,  shall not engage in any
transaction  of the nature  described  and  prohibited  by Section  406 of ERISA
including amendments and regulations  pertaining thereto. See UMB as Trustee for
the Plan and Trust and UMB as Trustee for the Funds.

                        Vesting of Participant's Interest

A  Participant's  right to  contributions  paid to the Trust under the Plan will
become fully vested and  nonforfeitable  in accordance with the vesting schedule
established  by  the  Employer  in  the  Adoption  Agreement.  The  value  of  a
Participant's  interest in the Plan may decline due to decreases in value of the
investments held in any of the Funds in which contributions made by or on behalf
of the Participant are vested. See Market Risks.

                                    Benefits

Except  for   withdrawal   of  voluntary   contributions   or  salary   deferral
contributions  (See  Contributions),  the methods  described  under this section
entitled  "Benefits"  are the only  means by which a  Participant  may redeem or
receive benefits from such Participant's Account.

Valuation of  Participant's  Account.  The  participation  of a Participant will
cease on the day when his  employment  by the  Employer  terminates.  Except for
Individually  Directed  Accounts,  the  aggregate  value  of all  Accounts  of a
Participant  will be determined as of the Valuation Date coincident with or next
preceding  the   distribution  of  his  benefit  and  shall  be  designated  the
Participant's Benefit Amount. For Individually Directed Accounts,  the aggregate
value of all Accounts of the  Participant  shall be determined as of the date on
which the Trustee distributed the benefits.

Retirement Benefits. A Participant's  Benefit Amount will be paid in the form of
a  joint  and  survivor   annuity  unless  one  of  the  following   methods  of
distributions is directed by the Plan Administrator at the Participant's request
in compliance with conditions set forth in the Plan:

         (1)      payment in lump-sum;

         (2)      payment in one or more annual or more frequent installments.

Disability  Benefits.  In the event  the Plan  Administrator  determines  that a
Participant has suffered Permanent and Total Disability, the Participant will be
entitled to a  disability  benefit.  The  Participant's  Benefit  Amount will be
distributed by one of the methods described above under  "Retirement  Benefits,"
as elected by the Participant, with spousal consent (as applicable).

Death Benefits-Beneficiaries.  A Participant's Benefit Amount will be payable in
one lump-sum unless the Beneficiary,  in the  Beneficiary's  discretion,  elects
another method of distribution. If the Participant is married, the Participant's
Benefit Amount will be in the form of a survivor annuity, unless another benefit
form  has  been  elected  pursuant  to the  Plan.  The
<PAGE>
Plan provides for the designation by a Participant of one or more beneficiaries,
including  successive  or  contingent  beneficiaries,  and  for  changes  in the
designation  of  beneficiaries  from time to time without the consent of a prior
beneficiary.  The  interest  in  the  Account  of a  Participant  given  to  any
beneficiary ceases upon the beneficiary's death. If the Participant dies without
designating a beneficiary or if the  Participant  has designated  beneficiaries,
but no  beneficiary  is alive to receive any amount which may become  payable to
the beneficiary,  the interest in the Participant's  Account will be paid to the
Participant's  surviving  spouse, or if none, the Participants  children,  or if
none, the Participant's estate.

Termination  of  Service.  In the  event a  Participant's  employment  with  the
Employer  is  terminated  for  any  reason  other  than  retirement,   death  or
disability, the Participant's Benefit Amount shall be paid as follows:

(1)  If  the  Participant's   Benefit  Amount  does  not  exceed  $5,000,   such
Participant's  Benefit  amount shall be paid in full in a lump-sum  within sixty
days  following the close of the Plan Year during which a termination of service
occurred;

(2) If the  Participant's  Benefit  Amount  does  exceed  $5,000,  it  shall  be
distributed by one of the methods described above under  "Retirement  Benefits,"
as elected by the Participant, with spousal consent (as applicable).

Special  Rule.  Regardless  of all  information  stated  above  in this  section
entitled "Benefits," the distribution of the Participant's Benefit Amount to any
Participant  generally must be commenced upon the Participant  attaining the age
of 70 1/2 years unless the Participant  remains  employed,  and may be available
upon reaching the later of age 59 1/2 or Normal Retirement Age under the Plan.

Assignment of Benefits.  The interest of a Participant  in a Trust and the right
of any person to receive any payment of benefit  provided  under the Plan cannot
be  subject to  assignment  or in any manner by  transferable  or  encumberable,
either by voluntary or  involuntary  actions of a  Participant  or other person,
except for purposes of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order.

                            Amendment and Termination

Adoption of the Plan is completely  voluntary on the part of the  Employer,  and
the Employer  has the right at any time to amend the Plan,  to change the person
designated as the Plan  Administrator  and to change the  elections  made in the
Adoption Agreement. See Adoption of a Plan. The Employer may also amend the Plan
in other  respects and  continue  the Plan as amended  with  another  trustee or
custodian.  In such event, UMB, as Trustee,  will transfer all assets held under
the Plan to such other trustee or custodian.

Subject to notice  requirements that may be imposed by law, UMB has the right to
amend  the Plan and  Trust  and,  concurrently  each  retirement  plan and trust
established  in the form of the Plan and Trust shall be  automatically  amended.
However,  no such amendment  shall become  effective until a written copy of the
amendment is received by the Employer. Receipt of a written copy of an amendment
by an Employer  is the only notice  necessary  prior to the  amendment  becoming
effective.

No amendment  to the Plan,  as  described  above,  may be made (except as may be
required  for the  qualification  of the Plan and the  tax-exempt  status of the
Trust  under the Code)  which  will (1) give the  Employer  an  interest  in, or
ownership or control of, any part of the Trust or the assets  thereof,  (2) make
possible  the  diversion  of any part of a Trust for any purpose  other than the
exclusive  benefit of  Participant  in such  Trust,  (3)  operate to deprive any
Participant  of  benefits  previously  vested in him or (4) change  the  rights,
duties or responsibilities of the Trustee without the consent of the Trustee.

The Plan will  terminate on the date (1) the Plan is terminated by the Employer,
if the Employer gives written notice of the termination to the Trustee,  (2) the
Employer is judicially  declared bankrupt or a general assignment is made by the
Employer for the benefit of creditors or (3) the Employer  loses its identity by
dissolution,  merger,  consolidation or reorganization unless within thirty days
thereafter  provision  in  writing  consented  to by the  Trustee is made by the
successor  to the  Employer to continue  the Plan and Trust.  The Plan will also
terminate on the resignation or removal of the Trustee when no successor Trustee
has been  appointed  and  accepted the  appointment  within sixty days after the
effective date of the resignation or removal.

If the  Plan is  terminated,  the  Trustee  will  pay  all  taxes  and  expenses
thereunder,  will pay unpaid installments of any benefit payable in installments
in a lump-sum in full, will assign and deliver to  Participant's  life insurance
contracts  which have been purchased on their lives and will then distribute the
remaining  assets  of the  Trust,  or the  proceeds  thereof  in  the  event  of
liquidation, to the Participants in the Plan in such proportion as the aggregate
value of each Participant's  account or accounts bears to the total value of all
accounts  then  outstanding.   Participants  maintaining  Individually  Directed
Accounts
<PAGE>
will be  entitled  to a  distribution  of the full  value  of such  Individually
Directed Account minus the Participant's pro rata share of taxes and expenses.

                 Resignation, Removal and Succession of Trustee

The Trustee may resign at any time by giving sixty days advance  written  notice
to the  Employer.  The  Employer  may  remove the  Trustee by giving  sixty days
advance  written  notice  to the  Trustee.  In the event of the  removal  of the
Trustee,  the  Employer  will  appoint a  successor  trustee in writing  and the
successor trustee will accept the trusteeship of the Trust in writing.

                            Taxes, Expenses and Fees

The Plan provides that the following will constitute charges under the Trust and
will be paid by the Trustee out of the assets of the Trust unless otherwise paid
by the  Employer:  (1) all taxes  imposed  upon the  Trust,  the  Trustee in its
capacity as Trustee, or upon the assets or income of the Trust; (2) all expenses
incurred by the Trustee in the  performance of its duties  including  attorneys'
fees,  accountants'  fees and other  expenses  incurred in  connection  with the
Trust;  and (3) fees and other  compensation  of the  Trustee  for its  services
hereunder  in  amounts  agreed  upon from time to time by the  Employer  and the
Trustee.  Within sixty days after the close of each Plan Year,  the Trustee will
render to the Employer and the Plan  Administrator  a written  accounting of all
charges made upon the Trust during the preceding year.

No taxes are  currently  imposed upon the Trust,  the Trustee in its capacity as
Trustee,  or upon the assets or income of the Trust.  Although  the Trustee does
not anticipate  any taxes being imposed upon the Trust,  the assets or income of
the Trust or upon itself as Trustee, the Trustee cannot make any assurances that
taxes will not be so imposed in the future.

No  specific  expenses  to be imposed as charges  under the Trust are  currently
anticipated  except expenses in connection with providing Plan Participants with
annual revised  editions of this  Prospectus  including  accompanying  financial
statements. Although UMB has paid all expenses in connection with preparation of
the original Prospectus and the accompanying  registration  procedure,  expenses
incurred in connection with annually  revised  editions of the Prospectus may be
allocated pro rata among the Participants' Accounts and the Trust.

Certain fees are charged in accordance  with a schedule  which is published from
time to time by UMB. The  schedule is  available  upon request and is subject to
periodic change.

All fees are  subject to change.  In the event the  Trustee  changes  any of the
fees,  written  notice  of the  effective  date of any  change  is  given to the
Employer prior to the effective date of the change. Notice of fee changes is not
given directly to each Participant.

The annual fees and specific  charges are intended to cover the normal  expenses
incurred by UMB with respect to  management  and  administration  of  particular
Trust's or Participants'  accounts. The Plan permits UMB to charge extraordinary
expenses,  such as fees of attorneys  and  accountants,  and all taxes  properly
chargeable to the Trust or Participants' accounts, to the assets of the Trust or
such  Participants'  accounts.  Where  appropriate,  expenses  and taxes will be
allocated among the Trust's and Participants' accounts with respect to which the
expenses and taxes were incurred.

                                   Litigation

UMB is engaged in  litigation  of various  kinds which in its judgment is not of
material  importance in relation to its total assets. None of the litigation now
in progress relates to the Plan and Trust or the Fund.

                       Limitation of Liability of Trustee

The Plan  provides  that the  Trustee  shall not be liable for  action  upon any
notice,  direction,  certificate,  or other  paper or  document  believed by the
Trustee to be  genuine  and to have been  executed  by a  Participant,  the Plan
Administrator or the Employer,  or by a duly authorized person  representing the
Employer.  The Trustee has no duty to investigate the financial condition of any
legal  reserve life  insurance  company  licensed to do business in the state of
Missouri before purchasing any insurance policy or annuity contract.

                       Federal Income Tax Consequences Of
                     UMB Defined Contribution Plan and Trust

A principal  motive for the  establishment of a retirement plan and trust is the
favorable  tax  consequence  which may be obtained  thereby.  UMB has received a
favorable  opinion from the Internal  Revenue Service for the Plan and Trust, as
amended, identified by IRS Serial Nos. D345327a,  D245328a,  D345329a, D245330a,
D245331a,  and  D245332a.  A Plan duly adopted by an Employer in the form of the
Plan and Trust will be in a form so as to be eligible to qualify  under  Section
401 of the Code so long as the Employer  observes the provisions and eligibility
requirements thereof.

The  following is a brief and  necessarily  incomplete  description  of the more
important tax consequences of the Plan and Trust:

(1) An Employer in computing  its adjusted  gross income for federal  income tax
purposes may deduct the full amount of its contributions to the Plan, within the
contribution  limits of the Plan and the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  on behalf of
Participants who are common-law  Employees,  and such  contributions will not be
includable  in the gross income of such  Employees.  Contributions  on behalf of
Participants who are  self-employed  persons will be includable in gross income,
but a Participant,  in computing adjusted gross income, may deduct the Employees
contribution to the Plan on his behalf up to the lesser of $30,000 or the amount
determined by applying the percentage contribution limitations prescribed in the
Plan and the Internal Revenue Code. Generally,  benefit payments from the assets
of the  Trust  are  subject  to  income  taxation  at the date of  distribution.
However, benefit payments representing amounts contributed by a Participant as a
Nondeductible   Voluntary   Contribution   on  his  own   behalf,   or  Employer
contributions previously taxed to him, are not taxable income.

(2) The income earned by a Trust prior to distribution  from the Trust is exempt
from income tax.  Unrelated business income of a Trust, if any, would be subject
to tax. UMB does not intend to make an  investment  which would cause a Trust to
incur any unrelated business income tax.

(3) The  transfer by a  Participant  of all or a portion of his Account from one
Fund to  another  Fund or to  another  available  investment  medium  should not
subject a Participant to federal income tax.

(4) Lump-sum  distributions under the Plan are includable in gross income of the
recipient as ordinary  income  unless made on account of the  Participant's  (i)
death or (ii)  separation  from  service in the case of a  common-law  employee,
(iii) after the  Participant's  attainment of age 59 1/2, or (iv)  disability in
the case of a self-employed  person.  In such cases, if the Participant was born
before  January  1,  1936,  the  portion  of the  lump-sum  distribution  deemed
attributable  to  participation  in the Plan  prior to 1974 may be  entitled  to
long-term capital gain treatment. The balance of a lump-sum distribution made on
account of the above  circumstances  is taxable as ordinary  income,  but may be
eligible  at the  election  of the  recipient  for a  special  income  averaging
treatment known as "Five-Year Averaging" (or "Ten-Year Averaging" in the case of
a  Participant  born  before  January 1, 1936) in the case of the  Participant's
death or if the  Participant  participated in the Plan for at least five taxable
years prior to the year of distribution.  Eligibility for and the computation of
the tax under the Five-Year or Ten-Year  Averaging  treatment is complex but, if
applicable,  may result in a lower tax. A recipient  of a lump-sum  distribution
should  consult  with a tax advisor  with  reference  to making an election  and
computation of the tax.

(5)  Generally,  distributions  under  the Plan  (other  than  certain  periodic
distributions, distributions required to be made after a Participant reaches age
70 1/2,  distributions to correct violations of the  nondiscrimination  rules of
the Code,  hardship  distributions  and  certain  deemed  distributions)  may be
transferred  without  current  income tax liability to an Individual  Retirement
Account (IRA) or another  qualified  retirement plan. A 20% withholding tax will
apply to any eligible  rollover  distribution  unless the Trustee transfers such
distribution  directly to an IRA or another  qualified  retirement  plan. If the
Trustee  distributes the eligible  rollover  distribution to the recipient,  the
Trustee must withhold 20% of the  distribution,  but the distribution will still
qualify for current  income tax deferral if the  recipient  transfers the entire
amount  of the  distribution  plus  the  amount  withheld  to an IRA or  another
qualified  retirement plan within 60 days after receipt. The recipient must then
claim the amount  withheld  as a credit on the  recipient's  federal  income tax
return.

(6)  Distributions of benefits an installment  payments are generally subject to
income tax under the rules applying to annuities.  The  Participant  has as cost
basis an  amount  equal  to the  total  amount  of his  Nondeductible  Voluntary
Contributions. The cost is spread over the period during which distributions
<PAGE>
are to be made, and payments  received  annually in excess of the allowable cost
are taxed as ordinary income.

(7)  Distributions  received  by a  Participant  prior to age 59 1/2 or death or
disability  may be  subject  to an  excise  tax of  10%  of  the  amount  of the
distribution included in income.

                             Other Tax Consequences
                                  Penalty Taxes

Excise taxes levied as a penalty under ERISA include a 5% cumulative  excise tax
which is levied  against the  Employer on any required  contributions  which the
Employer  failed to make where the Employer has adopted a pension  plan.  Unless
the default is cured within ninety days of the mailing of a deficiency notice, a
further penalty of 100% of the deficiency will be assessed.

                             State Tax Consequences

State tax  consequences  vary and may  result in  different  tax  treatment  for
contributions and benefits from that which would result under federal law.

                                     Reports

Within  sixty days after the close of each Plan Year the  Trustee  shall send to
the  Employer  and  to  the  Plan  Administrator  a  written  accounting  of its
administration of the Trust for such Plan year.

Board of Directors
UMB Bank, n.a.
Kansas City, Missouri


               We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  assets  and
liabilities of the Fund for Pooling Equity  Investments of Employee Trusts,  the
Fund for Pooling Debt  Investments of Employee Trusts and the Pooled Income Fund
for Employee Trusts of UMB Bank,  n.a. (the Funds),  including the statements of
investments held, as of October 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations and participants'  interest for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Funds=  management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on our audits. The
statements of operations and  participants'  interest for the year ended October
31, 1996 were audited by other  auditors  whose  report dated  November 15, 1996
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

               We conducted our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
auditing  standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

               In our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund for
Pooling  Equity  Investments  of  Employee  Trusts,  the Fund for  Pooling  Debt
Investments of Employee Trusts and the Pooled Income Fund for Employee Trusts of
UMB  Bank,  n.a.  as of  October  31,  1998 and  1997,  and the  results  of its
operations  and the  changes in its  participants'  interest  for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1998



NOTE 1:  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The  accounting  policies  followed  by the Bank,  as  Trustee,  are in
accordance with the respective  Trust Plans and  Declarations of the Funds dated
December 5, 1955 (as amended on October 10, 1963) and December 27, 1974,  and in
conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The  significant
accounting policies and the nature of operations follow.

Nature of Operations
- --------------------
         The Fund for Pooling Equity  Investments of Employee  Trusts,  the Fund
for Pooling Debt  Investments of Employee  Trusts and the Pooled Income Fund for
Employee Trusts (Funds)  provide a means through which funds,  held by UMB Bank,
n.a.  in its  capacity  as sole  fiduciary  or  co-fiduciary,  may be pooled for
diversification  of  investments.  The Funds are managed by UMB Bank, n.a. under
regulation  9  of  the  Comptroller  of  the  Currency  relating  to  collective
investment funds. Regulation 9 specifies generally the form of trust, accounting
policies, investment powers, asset valuation, etc. In addition, the Funds' units
are registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------
         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments
- -----------
         Securities traded on a national  securities  exchange are valued at the
last  reported  sales price on the last  business day of the year or, if no sale
was  reported on that date,  at the average of the last  reported  bid and asked
prices. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the average of the last
reported bid and asked prices.  Short-term  obligations  are valued at amortized
cost,  which  approximates  market value.  Securities  not priced  elsewhere are
priced by the Trustee, utilizing prices quoted by security brokers or dealers or
investment  bankers.  Investment  transactions  are  recorded on the trade date.
Interest  income  is  recorded  daily.   Dividend  income  is  recorded  on  the
ex-dividend  date.  Realized gains and losses from investment  transactions  and
unrealized  appreciation  and  depreciation  of investments  are reported on the
identified cost basis.

Amortization
- ------------
         Discounts and premiums on securities  purchased are amortized  over the
life of the respective securities.

NOTE 1:  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
                            (Continued)

Income Tax Exemption
- --------------------
Applicable statutes exempt the funds from U.S. federal and state income taxes.

Participation Units
- -------------------
There is no par or stated value for participation  units.  Trusts, for which the
Bank is a fiduciary,  may invest or withdraw  based on monthly  valuations as of
the prior month.


NOTE 2:  MERGER

         Effective   November  1,  1995,  certain  collective  fund  assets  for
retirement  plans of the Bank of  Overland  Park and  Commercial  National  Bank
merged  into the  Funds  as a result  of the  acquisition  of such  banks by UMB
Financial Corporation. Assets with a market value of $10,809,038 and $19,569,785
merged into the Pooled  Equity Fund and Pooled  Debt Fund,  respectively.  These
amounts  are  included  in the  issuance  of  units  line on the  Statements  of
Participants' Interest.
