ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
- --------------------

    On February 28, 1995, Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. ("The Corporation")
Acquired Worthen Banking Corporation ("Worthen") pursuant to an Agreement
and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement"), dated August 18, 1994.  Under
terms of the Merger Agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation
was merged with and into Worthen, and each of the 17,126,652 shares of
Worthen common stock outstanding at February 28, 1995, was converted into
one share of common stock of the Corporation.  No shares of Worthen common
stock were owned by the Corporation.  The merger was accounted for as a
"pooling of interests" for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
    Subsequent to this acquisition, the Corporation filed a registration
statement on form S-4 related to it's acquisition of First National Bank in
Pampa ("Pampa"), located in Pampa, Texas.  Upon consummation of the
acquisition, Pampa, with assets of approximately $170 million, will be
merged into the Corporation's Amarillo subsidiary.
    In accordance with Item 10. of Form S-4, the Corporation has submitted
herewith under Item 7. of this Form 8-K, restated supplemental consolidated
financial statements, giving retroactive effect to the February 28, 1995
acquisition of Worthen, as if Worthen had been combined with the
Corporation for the periods presented.  The supplemental consolidated
financial statements will become, in all material respects, the historical
financial statements.

BOATMEN'S BANCSHARES, INC. 1994 SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                            NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL
                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(amounts in thousands except per share data and when otherwise indicated)

1  SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles. The
following is a description of the more significant of those policies.

Basis of Presentation  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries after elimination of all
material intercompany balances and transactions. Certain amounts for 1993
and 1992 were reclassified to conform with statement presentation for
1994. The reclassifications have no effect on stockholders' equity or net
income as previously reported. Prior period financial statements are also
restated to include the accounts of companies which are acquired and
accounted for as poolings of interests. The Corporation consummated the
acquisition of Worthen Banking Corporation (Worthen) on February 28, 1995,
using the pooling of interests method of accounting. The supplemental
financial statements included herein have been restated for all periods
as if Worthen and the Corporation had always been combined. These
supplemental consolidated financial statements, in all material respects,
will become the historical financial statements of the Corporation.
Results of operations of companies which are acquired and subject to
purchase accounting are included from the dates of acquisition. In
accordance with the purchase method of accounting, the assets and
liabilities of purchased companies are stated at estimated fair values
at the date of acquisition, and the excess of cost over fair value of
net assets acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods benefitted.

Held to Maturity Securities  These securities are purchased with the
original intent to hold to maturity and events which may be reasonably
anticipated are considered when determining the Corporation's intent and
ability to hold to maturity. Securities meeting such criteria at date of
purchase and as of the balance sheet date are carried at cost, adjusted
for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Gains or losses
on the disposition of held to maturity securities, if any, are based on
the adjusted book value of the specific security.

Available for Sale Securities  Debt and equity securities to be held for
indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held to maturity are
classified as available for sale and carried at market value with net
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reflected as a component of
stockholders' equity until realized. Securities held for indefinite
periods of time include securities that may be sold to meet liquidity
needs or in response to significant changes in interest rates or
prepayment risks as part of the Corporation's overall asset/liability
management strategy.

Trading Securities  Trading securities, which primarily consist of debt
securities, are held for resale within a short period of time and are
stated at market value. These securities are held in inventory for sale to
institutional and retail customers. Investment banking revenues, a
component of noninterest income, include the net realized gain or loss and
market value adjustments of the trading securities and commissions on bond
dealer and retail brokerage operations.

Interest and Fees on Loans  Interest on loans is accrued based upon the
principal amount outstanding. It is the Corporation's policy to
discontinue the accrual of interest when full collectibility of principal
or interest on any loan is doubtful. Interest income on such loans is
subsequently recognized only in the period in which payments are received,
and such payments are applied to reduce principal when loans are unsecured
or collateral values are deficient. Nonrefundable loan fees are deferred
and recognized as income over the life of the loan as an adjustment of the
yield. Direct costs associated with originating loans are deferred and
amortized as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan. Commitment fees
are deferred and recognized as noninterest income over the commitment
period.

Reserve for Loan Losses  The reserve represents provisions charged to
expense less net loan charge-offs. The provision is based upon economic
conditions, historical loss and collection experience, risk
characteristics of the portfolio, underlying collateral values, credit
concentrations, industry risk, degree of off-balance sheet risk and other
factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition.
    The charge-off policy of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries varies
with respect to the category of, and specific circumstances surrounding,
each loan under consideration. The Corporation's policy with respect to
consumer loans is generally to charge off all such loans when deemed to be
uncollectible or 120 days past due, whichever comes first. With respect to
commercial, real estate, and other loans, charge-offs are made on the
basis of management's ongoing evaluation of nonperforming and criticized
loans.

Foreclosed Property  The maximum carrying value for real estate acquired
through foreclosure is the lower of the recorded investment in the loan
for which the property previously served as collateral or the current
appraised value of the foreclosed property, net of the estimated selling
costs. Any writedowns required prior to actual foreclosure are charged to
the reserve for loan losses. Subsequent to foreclosure, losses on the
periodic revaluation of the property are charged to current period
earnings as noninterest expense. Gains and losses resulting from the sale
of foreclosed property are recognized in current period earnings. Costs of
maintaining and operating foreclosed property are expensed as incurred and
revenues related to foreclosed property are recorded as an offset to
operating expense. Expenditures to complete or improve foreclosed
properties are capitalized if the expenditures are expected to be
recovered upon ultimate sale of the property.

Segregated Assets  Segregated assets represent loans acquired in an
FDIC assisted transaction that are covered under a loss sharing arrangement
with the FDIC and possess more than the normal risk of collectibility.
These assets consist of loans that at acquisition were or have since
become classified as nonperforming loans or foreclosed property and are
segregated from other performing assets covered under the loss sharing
arrangement.
    The Corporation's primary purpose in managing a portfolio of this
nature is to provide ongoing collection and control activities on behalf
of the FDIC. Accordingly, these assets do not represent loans made in the
ordinary course of business and, due to the underlying nature of this
liquidating asset pool, are excluded from the Corporation's nonperforming
asset statistics. Income from the segregated asset pool is generally
recognized on a cash basis as a component of noninterest income. If
collection of the unguaranteed portion of the segregated asset is
doubtful, income payments are applied to reduce the principal balance
to the extent of the government guarantee.

Interest Rate Swaps  Interest rate swap transactions are utilized as
hedges as part of the Corporation's overall asset/liability management
strategy. Although the notional amounts of these transactions are not
reflected in the financial statements, the interest differentials are
recognized on an accrual basis over the terms of the agreements as an
adjustment to interest income or interest expense of the related asset or
liability. Interest rate swaps entered into for trading purposes on the
behalf of customers are accounted for on a mark to market basis.
Accordingly, realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with this
activity are reflected as investment banking revenues, a component of
noninterest income.

Foreign Exchange Contracts  The Corporation's banking subsidiaries trade
foreign currencies on behalf of their customers and for their own account
and, by policy, do not maintain significant open positions. Foreign
exchange contracts are valued at the current prevailing rates of exchange
and any profit or loss resulting from such valuation is included in
current operations as a component of investment banking revenues.

Property and Equipment  Property and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization
are recognized principally by the straight-line method applied over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 10 to 50 years for
buildings, 2 to 50 years for leasehold improvements, and 3 to 25 years for
fixtures and equipment.

Intangible Assets  Goodwill arising from acquisitions consummated
subsequent to 1985 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the
periods benefitted, ranging from 4-15 years. For acquisitions consummated
in 1983 and 1985, goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis
over 25 years, and goodwill related to acquisitions prior to 1983 is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Core deposit intangibles
and credit card premiums are amortized over their useful economic lives on
an accelerated basis, not to exceed 10 years. Mortgage servicing rights
are amortized over the estimated life of the related loan servicing pool.

Income Taxes  The Corporation accounts for income taxes under the asset
and liability method as required by Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
    Income tax expense is reported as the total of current income taxes
payable and the net change in deferred income taxes provided for temporary
differences. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of
temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the values used for
income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes are recorded at the statutory
Federal and state tax rates in effect at the time that the temporary
differences are expected to reverse.
    The Corporation files a consolidated Federal income tax return which
includes all its subsidiaries except for the life insurance company.
Income tax expense is allocated among the parent company and its
subsidiaries as if each had filed a separate tax return.

Net Income Per Share  Net income per share is calculated by dividing net
income (after deducting dividends on redeemable preferred stock) by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common stock
equivalents have no material dilutive effect.
<TABLE>
    The net income per share calculation for 1994, 1993 and 1992 is
summarized as follows:

2  CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
    In 1994, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 112
(SFAS No. 112), "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." SFAS
No. 112 requires recognition of the cost to provide postemployment
benefits on an accrual basis. The Corporation's existing accounting
policies were in general compliance with the requirements of SFAS No. 112.
Accordingly, adoption of this standard had no material impact on the level
of postemployment expense.
    On December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 (SFAS No. 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires entities to classify
debt and equity securities as either held to maturity, available for sale
or trading securities. Under SFAS No. 115, held to maturity securities are
recorded at amortized cost; whereas available for sale securities and
trading securities are carried at market value. SFAS No. 115 further
requires that unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities
be reported, net of tax, as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 115, the Corporation transferred approximately
$5.2 billion of debt and equity securities to the available for sale
portfolio, resulting in an increase to stockholders' equity of $42.3
million. Adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no effect on 1993 earnings.

arising from the 1994 acquisition totaled $2.3 million. Goodwill and core
deposit intangibles arising from 1993 acquisitions totaled $43.6 million
and $49.1 million, respectively. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles
arising from 1992 acquisitions totaled $24.6 million and $9.2 million,
respectively. Core deposit intangibles in each of the purchase
acquisitions summarized below are being amortized on an accelerated basis,
not to exceed 10 years. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line

Pooling Acquisitions  When material, results of operations of companies
which are acquired and subject to pooling of interests accounting are
reflected on a combined basis from the earliest period presented.
    On February 28, 1995, the Corporation consummated its acquisition of
Worthen Banking Corporation (Worthen), headquartered in Little Rock,
Arkansas, resulting in the issuance of approximately 17.1 million shares
of the Corporation's common stock. Worthen, subsequently renamed Boatmen's
Arkansas, Inc., is the second largest banking organization in Arkansas,
with approximately $3.5 billion in assets, operating 112 retail banking
offices throughout Arkansas and six offices in the Austin, Texas area.
Nonrecurring after-tax merger expenses related to this acquisition totaled
$19.7 million, comprised primarily of investment banking and other
professional fees, severance costs, obsolete equipment write-offs and
estimated costs to close duplicate branches, and were recognized in the
first quarter of 1995. The accompanying financial statements reflect the
results of operations of the Corporation and Worthen on a combined basis
from the earliest period presented.

    On March 31, 1994, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
Woodland Bancorp, Inc. (Woodland), resulting in the issuance of
approximately .4 million shares of common stock. Woodland, a retail
banking organization with assets of approximately $65 million, is located
in Tulsa, Oklahoma and was merged into the Corporation's Oklahoma bank.
The results of operations of Woodland, which qualified as a pooling of
interests, are not included in the consolidated financial statements prior
to January 1, 1994, due to the immaterial effect on the Corporation's
financial results.
    On November 30, 1993, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
First Amarillo Bancorporation, Inc. (Amarillo), resulting in the issuance
of approximately 5.9 million shares of common stock. Amarillo,
subsequently renamed Boatmen's Texas, Inc., with approximately $1.1
billion in assets, is headquartered in Amarillo, Texas. Nonrecurring
merger expenses related to this acquisition totaled $4.7 million and were
comprised primarily of investment banking fees, compensation-related
expense and abandonment of equipment and software. On an after-tax basis,
merger-related expenses from this acquisition totaled $3.8 million or $.04
per share and were recognized in the fourth quarter of 1993.
    On April 1, 1992, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of First
Interstate of Iowa, Inc., (Iowa), resulting in the issuance of
approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock. First Interstate of
Iowa, Inc., subsequently renamed Boatmen's Bancshares of Iowa, Inc., with
approximately $1.2 billion in assets, is headquartered in Des Moines,
Iowa. Nonrecurring merger expenses related to the acquisition totaled $7.1
million and were recorded in the fourth quarter of 1991.
    On October 1, 1992, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
Sunwest Financial Services, Inc. (Sunwest), resulting in the issuance of
approximately 14.8 million shares of common stock. Sunwest, subsequently
renamed Boatmen's Sunwest, Inc., with approximately $3.7 billion in
assets, is headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico and is the largest
banking organization in that state. In the fourth quarter of 1992, the
Corporation recorded nonrecurring charges to conform Sunwest's loan,
accrual and reserve policies to the Corporation's policies which required
additions to the reserve for loan losses and write-downs of foreclosed
property. In addition, nonrecurring merger-related expenses were
recognized, such as investment banking fees, severance benefits, and
abandonment of equipment and software. Also in 1992, Sunwest realigned its
investment portfolio to conform to the Corporation's investment philosophy
by selling approximately $670 million of U.S. government securities and
reinvesting the proceeds in mortgage-backed securities. Gains of
approximately $24.3 million were recognized from this realignment.

Other Pending Acquisitions at December 31, 1994
    On January 31, 1995, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
National Mortgage Company and certain affiliates (National Mortgage), in a
transaction which was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Under terms
of the agreement, the Corporation exchanged approximately 5.0 million
shares of common stock for all of the stock of National Mortgage. National
Mortgage, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, is a full-service mortgage
banking company and presently services mortgage loans totaling
approximately $13.8 billion. The accompanying financial statements do not
reflect the results of operations of National Mortgage due to the
immaterial effect on the Corporation's financial results.
    On January 31, 1995, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
Dalhart Bancshares, Inc. (Dalhart) in a transaction which was accounted
for as a pooling of interests. Each share of Dalhart was exchanged for
6.36 shares of the Corporation's common stock resulting in the issuance
of approximately .7 million shares. Dalhart, with assets of approximately
$140 million, is located in north Texas and was merged into the
Corporation's Amarillo subsidiary. The accompanying financial statements
do not reflect the results of operations of Dalhart due to the
immaterial effect on the Corporation's financial results.
    On February 28, 1995, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
Salem Community Bancorp, Inc. (Salem), in a stock and cash transaction
which was accounted for as a purchase. Salem has two locations with
approximately $80 million in assets.
    On April 1, 1995, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
West Side Bancshares, Inc. (West Side), a one bank holding company
located in San Angelo, Texas, in a stock transaction which was accounted
for as a purchase. The acquisition of West Side, with assets of
approximately $142 million, resulted in the issuance of approximately
.6 million shares of common stock through treasury stock acquired in the
open market. Upon consummation, West Side was merged into the
Corporation's Amarillo subsidiary.
    On November 15, 1994, the Corporation announced a definitive agreement
to acquire First National Bank in Pampa (Pampa) in a transaction to be
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Under terms of the agreement, the
Corporation will exchange approximately 1.35 million shares of common
stock for all of the outstanding shares of Pampa, which has approximately
$168 million in assets and will be merged into the Corporation's Amarillo
subsidiary. This transaction is expected to be completed in the second
quarter of 1995.

    Gross interest income which would have been recorded, if all nonaccrual
and restructured loans at year end had been current in accordance with
original terms, amounted to $10.2 million in 1994 and $13.8 million in
1993. Actual interest recorded amounted to $2.6 million in 1994 and $3.3
million in 1993.
    Following is a summary of activity for 1994 regarding loans extended to
directors and executive officers of the Corporation and its largest
subsidiaries or to enterprises in which said individuals had beneficial
interests. Such loans were made in the normal course of business on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as
those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other
persons.

    In May, 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (SFAS No. 114),
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and in October 1994, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures."  These statements will require
that certain impaired loans be measured based on either the present value
of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate, the
market price of the loan, or fair value of the underlying collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. Adoption of these pronouncements in 1995 is
not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's financial
results or asset quality statistics.

9  SEGREGATED ASSETS
    Included in other assets at December 31, 1994 are segregated assets
totaling $177.2 million net of a valuation allowance of $16.7 million. As
part of the regulatory assisted acquisition of Missouri Bridge Bank, N.A.
(Bridge Bank), on April 23, 1993, the Corporation entered into a five-year
loss-sharing arrangement with the FDIC with respect to approximately $950
million in multi-family residential, commercial real estate, construction
and commercial loans. During the five-year period, the FDIC will reimburse
the Corporation for 80 percent of the first $92.0 million of net charge-
offs on these loans, after which the FDIC will increase its reimbursement
coverage to 95 percent of additional charge-offs. During this period and
for two years thereafter, the Corporation is obligated to pay the FDIC 80
percent of all recoveries on charged off loans.
    Segregated assets are those loans acquired from the Bridge Bank and
covered under the loss sharing arrangement with the FDIC that possess more
than the normal risk of collectibility. These assets consist of loans that
at acquisition were or have since become classified as nonperforming loans
or foreclosed property.
    The Corporation's primary purpose in managing a portfolio of this
nature is to provide ongoing collection and control activities on behalf
of the FDIC. Accordingly, these assets do not represent loans made in the
ordinary course of business and, due to the underlying nature of this
liquidating asset pool, are excluded from the Corporation's nonperforming
asset statistics.
    A summary of activity regarding the segregated asset pool for the years
ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 is provided below.

Corporation's trust subsidiary.
    Several of the note agreements contain various financial covenants
pertaining to minimum levels of net worth, limitations on additional
indebtedness, and limitations on repurchases of common stock and dividend
payments. The Corporation was in compliance with all such covenants at
December 31, 1994.
    Obligations of the parent company included above are unsecured, and to
a large extent are subordinated in right of payment to any other

    The Corporation has other common stock related plans which are
summarized below.

1990 Stock Purchase Plan for Employees  This Plan provides eligible
employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries with the opportunity
to purchase, at market value, with the Corporation providing a one-third
matching contribution, common stock of the Corporation through regular
payroll deductions. The aggregate number of shares issuable under this
Plan is limited to 2,000,000 shares, and as of December 31, 1994,
approximately 5,800 employees were participating in the Plan.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan  1,600,000 shares of the
Corporation's common stock have been reserved for sale, at market value,
pursuant to this plan, to holders of record of shares of common stock
who elect to use quarterly dividends or optional cash contributions to
purchase additional shares.

Thrift Incentive 401(k) Plan  This is a savings plan for the benefit of
employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Participation by
eligible employees is voluntary, and participants may contribute at
least 2% and up to 12% of their salary, up to certain limits, by regular
payroll deductions. All participants' contributions are invested by the
trustee, as directed by the participant, in various investment funds,
one of which consists solely of the Corporation's common stock. The
Corporation matches, in full, up to 3% of the contribution made by the
employee which is invested in a separate fund consisting solely of the
Corporation's common stock.

Shareholder Rights Plan  In 1990, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a
"Right") for each outstanding share of common stock. The Rights trade
automatically with shares of common stock and become exercisable only
under certain circumstances. The Rights are designed to protect the
interests of the Corporation and its shareholders against coercive
takeover tactics. The purpose of the Rights is to encourage potential
acquirers to negotiate with the Corporation's Board of Directors prior
to attempting a takeover and to give the Board leverage in negotiating
on behalf of all shareholders the terms of any proposed takeover.

16  RETIREMENT BENEFITS
    Substantially all employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are
covered by the Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. Retirement Plan for Employees,
a noncontributory defined benefit plan. Pension benefits are based upon
the employee's length of service and compensation during the final years
of employment. Normal service costs are funded currently using the
projected unit credit method.
    Contributions to the Plan totaled $5.1 million in 1994, $11.8 million
in 1993, and $12.3 million in 1992.

    The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future

projected benefit obligation were 8.50% and 5.50%, respectively, at
December 31, 1994 and 7.50% and 5.00% respectively, at December 31, 1993.
    Prior to the acquisition of Worthen, the former Worthen employees
participated in a defined contribution savings and profit sharing plan in
lieu of a noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan. Effective
April 1, 1995, former Worthen employees will become eligible for
participation in the Corporation's retirement plan and contributions to
the former savings and profit sharing plan will cease.
    The Corporation provides postemployment life and contributory medical
benefits to retired employees. The liability for such benefits is unfunded
and accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employer's Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions". Under this standard, costs of retiree benefits other
than pensions are accrued in a manner similar to actual pension costs.

    The weighted-average annual assumed rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered benefits for the medical plan is 9.50% for 1995 (compared
to 10.50% assumed for 1994) and is assumed to decrease gradually to 5.00%
in 2003 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend
rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For
example, increasing the assumed health care trend rates by one percentage
point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation for the medical plan as of December 31, 1994 by $5.8 million,
and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net
periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1994 by $.7 million. The
weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8.50% at December 31, 1994 and 7.50%
at December 31, 1993.

19  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    The reported fair values of financial instruments are based on a
variety of factors. Where possible, fair values represent quoted market
prices for identical or comparable instruments. In other cases, fair
values have been estimated based on assumptions concerning the amount
and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates
reflecting varying degrees of risk. Intangible values assigned to customer
relationships are not reflected in the reported fair values. Accordingly,
the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial
instruments that could have been realized as of year end or that will be
realized in the future.
    The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due
from banks, short-term investments, Federal funds sold and securities
purchased under resale agreements approximate fair value.
    Fair values for held to maturity securities, available for sale
securities, and trading securities are based on quoted market prices or
dealer quotes. If quoted prices are not available for the specific
security, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable
instruments.
    The fair values of 1-4 family residential loans, home equity and other
homogeneous categories of consumer loans are estimated using quoted market
prices for similar traded loans or securities backed by such loans,
adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instrument
being valued. The fair values for other loans are estimated using a
discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently offered
for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality or in
some situations, due to the variable rate nature of the instrument,
carrying value and fair value are considered one and the same.
    Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using assumptions
regarding current assessments of collectibility and historical loss
experience.
    By definition fair values of deposits with no stated maturities, such
as demand deposits, savings and NOW accounts and money market deposit
accounts, are equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting
date. The fair values of all other fixed rate deposits are based on
discounted cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of
similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of variable rate
deposits approximate fair value at the reporting date.
    The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased and other short-term
borrowings approximate their fair values as of the reporting date.
    The fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for
similar issues, or current rates offered to the Corporation for debt of
the same remaining maturity.
    The fair values of interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts
are estimated using dealer quotes. These values represent the costs to
replace all outstanding contracts at current market rates, taking into
consideration the current credit worthiness of the counterparties.  The
fair values of loan commitments, commercial letters of credit and standby
letters of credit are determined using estimated fees currently charged to
enter into similar agreements. The fair value of loan commitments totaled
approximately $1.1 million and $.8 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The fair value of commercial and standby letters of credit
totaled approximately $1.3 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively.

20  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
    WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
    In the normal course of business, the Corporation utilizes a variety of
off-balance sheet financial instruments to service the financial needs of
customers and to manage the Corporation's overall asset/liability
position. This activity includes commitments to extend credit, standby and
commercial letters of credit, securities lending, interest rate swaps and
foreign exchange contracts. Each of these instruments involve varying
degrees of risk. As such, the contract or notional amounts of these
instruments may or may not be an appropriate indicator of the credit or
market risk associated with these instruments.
    Generally accepted accounting principles recognize these instruments as
contingent obligations or off-balance sheet items and accordingly, the
contract or notional amounts are not reflected in the consolidated
financial statements.
    A summary of the Corporation's off-balance sheet financial instruments
at December 31, 1994 and 1993 is presented as follows.

===================================================================================================
</TABLE>

    A loan commitment represents a contractual agreement to lend up to a
specified amount, over a stated period of time as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract, and generally
requires the payment of a fee. Standby letters of credit are issued to
improve a customer's credit standing with third parties, whereby the
Corporation agrees to honor a financial commitment by issuing a guarantee
to third parties in the event the Corporation's customer fails to perform.
Since loan commitment amounts generally exceed actual funding requirements
and virtually all of the standby letters of credit are expected to expire
unfunded, the total commitment amounts do not represent future cash
requirements. The Corporation's exposure to credit loss from loan
commitments, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit is
measured by the contract amount of these instruments. This credit risk is
minimized by subjecting these off-balance sheet instruments to the same
credit policies and underwriting standards used when making loans. The
Corporation evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on
such evaluations. Acceptable collateral includes cash or cash equivalents,
marketable securities, deeds of trust, receivables, inventory, fixed
assets and financial guarantees. Interest rates, in the event funding of
the aforementioned commitments are required, are predominantly based on
floating rates or prevailing market rates at the time such commitments are
funded. Substantially all of these commitments expire in 1-2 years unless
renewed by the Corporation. Commercial letters of credit are short-term
commitments issued for trade purposes, primarily to finance the movement
of goods between a buyer and seller dealing in international markets.
    The Corporation, through its trust subsidiary, is involved in off-
balance sheet securities lending. In this capacity, the Corporation,
acting as agent, lends securities on behalf of its customers to third
party borrowers. The Corporation indemnifies its customers against losses
in the event of counterparty default, and minimizes this risk through
collateral requirements and limiting transactions to pre-approved
borrowers. Collateral policies require each borrower to initially deliver
cash or securities exceeding 102% of the market value of the securities
lent. Additional collateral is required through the term of the lending
agreement to ensure that the value of collateral exceeds the market value
of the securities lent. Interest rate risk associated with securities
lending activities arises from rate movements affecting the spread between
the rebate rate paid to the borrower on the collateral and the rate earned
on that collateral. This risk is controlled through policies that limit
the level of interest rate risk which can be undertaken.
    The Corporation enters into interest rate swap transactions primarily
as part of its asset/liability management strategy to manage interest-rate
risk. These transactions involve the exchange of interest payments based
on a notional amount. The notional amounts of interest rate swaps express
the volume of transactions and are not an appropriate indicator of the
off-balance sheet market risk or credit risk. The credit risk associated
with interest rate swaps arises from the counterparties' failure to meet
the terms of the agreements and is limited to the fair value of contracts
in a gain (favorable) position. The Corporation manages this risk by
maintaining a well-diversified portfolio of highly-rated counterparties in
addition to imposing limits as to types, amounts and degree of risk the
portfolio can undertake. The limits are approved by senior management and
positions are monitored to ensure compliance with such limits. The credit
risk exposure at December 31, 1994 is minimal as virtually all contracts
were in an unfavorable position.
    An effective asset/liability management function is required to address
the interest rate risk inherent in the Corporation's core banking
activities. If no other action is taken, the behavior of the core banking
activities, which includes lending and deposit activities, results in an
asset-sensitive position. Accordingly, to prudently manage the overall
interest rate sensitivity position, the Corporation utilizes a combination
of on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments to balance the interest
rate sensitivity of the core banking activities. The Corporation's
interest rate risk exposure is limited, by policy, to 5% of projected
annual net income. Adherence to these risk limits is controlled and
monitored through simulation modeling techniques that consider the impact
that alternative interest rate scenarios will have on the Corporation's
financial results. The interest rate swap portfolio is presently used to
modify the interest rate sensitivity of subordinated debt and alter the
interest rate sensitivity of the Corporation's prime-based loan portfolio.
The Corporation accessed the capital markets twice in recent years,
resulting in the issuance of $200 million of fixed rate subordinated debt.
The impact of adding long-term debt to the balance sheet resulted in
increased asset sensitivity as proceeds were initially used to replace
short-term borrowings. Accordingly, to reduce the impact on the
Corporation's gap position, $200 million of interest rate swaps were
executed to convert fixed rate debt to a floating rate instrument. The
Corporation's prime based loan portfolio (approximately $5.4 billion) is
the primary cause of the large asset sensitivity position of the core
banking activity as it is primarily funded by deposit liabilities that are
less sensitive to movements in market interest rates. As a means to alter
the interest rate sensitivity of the prime based portfolio, the
Corporation has used off-balance sheet instruments to convert
approximately $1.8 billion of prime based loans to fixed rate instruments.
Additionally, the Corporation used $250 million of interest rate swaps to
alter the pricing basis of the prime-based loan and bank note portfolios.
The interest rate swap programs were consistent with management's
objective of balancing the interest rate sensitivity of the core bank.
    Interest income and expense on interest rate swaps used to manage the
Corporation's overall interest rate sensitivity position is recorded on an
accrual basis as an adjustment to the yield of the related asset or
liability over the periods covered by the contracts. In 1994, the swap
portfolio increased net interest income by approximately $15 million,
adding 6 basis points to the net interest margin, compared to
approximately $20 million or 10 basis points in 1993. As summarized in the
following table, the swap portfolio is primarily comprised of contracts
wherein the Corporation receives a fixed rate of interest while paying a
variable rate. The average rate received at December 31, 1994 was 5.53%
compared to an average rate paid of 6.06%, and the average remaining
maturity of the portfolio was 2 years. The variable rate component of the
interest rate swaps is based on LIBOR at December 31, 1994, and will
adjust with future movements in this index. Approximately 90% of the
portfolio is comprised of indexed amortizing swaps that reset in step with
movements in LIBOR; whereby, the maturity distribution could modestly
lengthen if interest rates were to increase from year end levels. The
average maturity distribution of the portfolio would increase from two
years to approximately four years if interest rates were to increase 200
basis points from year end 1994, and under no situation will the maturity
of any contract extend beyond 2001.
    A summary of the interest rate swap activity for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 is provided below.

    The Corporation has not terminated any of its interest rate swap
positions. Accordingly, there have been no deferred gains/losses
associated with this activity.
    While the Corporation is primarily an end-user of derivative
instruments, it does act as an intermediary to meet the financial needs of
its customers. In this capacity, the Corporation executes foreign exchange
transactions and interest rate swaps  to provide customers with capital
markets products to meet their financial objectives. All positions are
reported at fair value and changes in fair values are reflected in
investment banking revenues as they occur. The notional amount of the
customer swap portfolio at December 31, 1994 totaled approximately $325
million. Interest rate risk associated with these portfolios is controlled
by entering into offsetting positions with third parties. Credit risk
associated with this activity is minimized by limiting transactions to
highly rated counterparties and through collateral agreements. Collateral
is required to be delivered when the credit risk exceeds acceptable
thresholds, for certain counterparties. Collateral thresholds are
established based on the creditworthiness of the counterparty and are
bilateral. Acceptable collateral includes U.S. Treasury and Federal agency
securities. Foreign exchange activity, which is marked to market based on
prevailing rates of exchange, can expose the Corporation to market risk,
particularly when open positions exist, and, to a lesser extent, credit
risk associated with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of
the foreign exchange contracts. The Corporation minimizes market risk
associated with foreign exchange activity by establishing limits which
prohibit traders from maintaining significant open positions on a daily
basis. The Corporation's exposure to credit risk on foreign exchange
contracts and customer swap contracts is measured as the cost of replacing
the contract in the event of default by the counterparty which is limited
to the market value of all contracts in a gain position. The Corporation
controls this credit risk by maintaining a well diversified portfolio of
highly rated counterparties and imposing counterparty limits and
collateral protection which is monitored by a credit committee for
compliance. In addition, counterparty credit risk for all derivative
activity is managed by subjecting these transactions to credit policies
and underwriting standards consistent with that used when making
commitments to extend credit. At December 31, 1994, the Corporation's
credit exposure from customer interest rate and foreign exchange contracts
totaled $4.7 million and $18.6 million, respectively. The following
summarizes the fair value at December 31, 1994 and the average fair value

             BOATMEN'S BANCSHARES, INC. 1994 ANNUAL REPORT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Board of Directors
Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance sheets of
Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
supplemental consolidated statements of income, shareholder's equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1994. The supplemental consolidated statements give retroactive effect to
the merger with Worthen Banking Corporation (Worthen) on February 28, 1995,
which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in Note 3.
These supplemental financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these supplemental financial statements based on our audits. We
did not audit the financial statements of Worthen, a wholly-owned subsidiary
(as of February 28, 1995), which statements reflect total assets of $3.5
billion and $3.6 billion as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and
total interest income of $218 million, $212 million, and $230 million,
respectively, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1994. These statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it related to the amounts
included for Worthen, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

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 supplemental financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
supplemental financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall supplemental financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors,
the supplemental consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1994, after giving retroactive
effect to the merger with Worthen as described in Note 3, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the supplemental consolidated financial
statements, in 1993, Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc. changed its method of
accounting for debt and equity securities.

The Board of Directors
Worthen Banking Corporation:

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Worthen Banking
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for the years then ended (not presented separately herein). These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Worthen Banking Corportaion and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and
1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We previously audited and reported on the consolidated financial statements
of Worthen Banking Corporation and Subsidiaries as of and for the years
ended December 31, 1992, prior to their restatement for the 1993 pooling
of interests. The contribution of Worthen Banking Corporation and
Subsidiaries to total assets represented 79% of the respective restated
total as of December 31, 1992; and, the contribution of Worthen Banking
Corporation and Subsidiaries to net interest income and net income
represented 78% and 90% of the respective restated totals for 1992.
Separate financial statements of the other companies included in the 1992
restated consolidated financial statements were audited and reported on
separately by other auditors. We also audited the combination of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1992, after restatement for the 1993 pooling of
interests; in our opinion, such consolidated statements have been properly
combined on the basis described in Note B of notes to consolidated financial
statements.

As discussed in Note E to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN
INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES, in 1994. Also, as discussed in
Note R to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the
provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES, in 1993.
