            MERCANTILE BANCORPORATION INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  NOTE A

  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. ("Corporation" or "Mercantile")
        and its subsidiaries follow generally accepted accounting
        principles and reporting practices applicable to the banking
        industry. The significant accounting policies are summarized
        below.

  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

        Consolidation: The Supplemental Consolidated Financial
        Statements include the accounts of Mercantile Bancorporation
        Inc. and its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries are wholly-owned.
        Material intercompany transactions are eliminated.

        Restatements: Effective January 3, 1994, Mercantile
        Bancorporation Inc. acquired Metro Bancorporation ("Metro"),
        and effective February 1, 1994, the Corporation acquired United
        Postal Bancorp, Inc. ("United Postal"), in transactions
        accounted for as poolings-of-interests.

        The Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements give
        retroactive effect to the transactions and, as a result, the
        Supplemental Consolidated Statement of Income, Balance Sheet
        and Statement of Cash Flows are presented as if the combining
        companies had been consolidated for all periods presented. (As
        required by generally accepted accounting principles, the
        Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements will become the
        historical consolidated financial statements upon issuance of
        the financial statements for the period that includes the date
        of the transactions.) The Supplemental Consolidated Statement
        of Changes in Shareholders' Equity reflects the accounts of
        Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. as if the common stock issued in
        the Metro acquisition had been outstanding during all periods
        presented. The Supplemental Statement of Changes in
        Shareholders' Equity reflects the accounts of the Corporation
        as if the additional common stock issued in the United Postal
        acquisition was outstanding effective March 20, 1992, the date
        United Postal made its initial public offering of common stock.
        The Supplemental Consolidated Financial Statements, including
        the notes thereto, should be read in conjunction with the
        historical consolidated financial statements of the Corporation
        included in its 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        A three-for-two stock split, which was paid in the form of a
        dividend, was distributed on April 11, 1994 to shareholders of
        record March 10, 1994. All per share amounts, as well as ending
        and average common shares data, reflect the three-for-two stock
        split.

        Reclassification: Certain reclassifications have been made to
        the 1992 and 1991 historical financial statements to conform
        with the 1993 presentation.

  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:

        Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") 106, "Employers'
        Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions,"
        was adopted by the Corporation in the first quarter of 1993.
        The Corporation adopted FAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
        in the first quarter of 1993 with an effective date of January
        1, 1988. FAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
        and Equity Securities," was adopted by the Corporation on
        December 31, 1993.

        FAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits,"
        effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1993,
        and FAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairments of a
        Loan," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
        1994, had not been adopted by the Corporation at December 31,
        1993. The adoptions of FAS 112 and FAS 114 are not expected to
        have a material impact on the Corporation's financial condition
        or results of operations.

  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE:

        Earnings per common share data is based on the weighted average
        number of common shares outstanding during the period.

        Earnings of United Postal are excluded from the earnings per
        share calculation from January 1, 1991 through March 20, 1992,
        which is the date United Postal made its initial public
        offering of common stock. Also on March 20, 1992, United Postal
        Savings Association, a wholly-owned subsidiary of United
        Postal, converted from a Missouri state-chartered mutual
        savings association to a Missouri state-chartered stock
        association.

  INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES:

        Trading securities, which include any security held primarily
        for near-term sale, are valued at fair value. Gains and losses
        on trading securities, both realized and unrealized, are
        recorded in investment banking income.

        Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for
        which the Corporation has no immediate plan to sell but which
        may be sold in the future under different circumstances, are
        valued at fair value. Realized gains and losses, based on the
        amortized cost of the specific security, are included in other
        income as securities gains. Unrealized gains and losses are
        recorded, net of related income tax effects, in retained
        earnings.

        Held-to-maturity securities, which include any security for
        which the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to
        hold until maturity, are valued at historical cost adjusted for
        amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts computed by
        the level-yield method. Prior to December 31, 1993, realized
        gains and losses, based on the amortized cost of the specific
        security, were included in other income as securities gains.

        Prior to December 31, 1993, marketable equity securities were
        stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Changes in the
        valuation of marketable equity securities which were considered
        to be temporary were recorded as adjustments to retained
        earnings. At December 31, 1993, these securities were
        classified as available-for-sale.

  LOANS AND LEASES:

        Interest income on loans not discounted is generally accrued on
        a simple interest basis. Interest income on discounted loans is
        computed on the sum-of-the-months'-digits method, which
        approximates the interest method.

        Loan fees and direct costs of loan originations are deferred
        and amortized over the life of the loans under methods
        approximating the interest method.

        The finance method is used to account for direct and leveraged
        equipment lease contracts. Income is recorded over the lease
        periods in proportion to the unrecovered investment in the
        leases after consideration of investment tax credits and other
        related income tax effects.

        When, in management's opinion, the collection of interest on a
        loan is unlikely, or when either principal or interest is past
        due over 90 days, that loan is generally placed on non-accrual
        status. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, accrued
        interest for the current year is reversed and charged against
        current earnings, and accrued interest from prior years is
        charged against the reserve for possible loan losses. Interest
        payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to principal
        if there is doubt as to the collectibility of such principal;
        otherwise, these receipts are recorded as interest income. A
        loan remains on non-accrual status until the loan is current as
        to payment of both principal and interest, and/or the borrower
        demonstrates the ability to pay and remain current.

  RESERVE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES:

        The reserve for possible loan losses is increased by provisions
        charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of
        recoveries. The reserve is maintained at a level considered
        adequate to provide for potential loan losses based on
        management's evaluation of current economic conditions, changes
        in the character and size of the portfolio, past experience,
        expected future losses, and other pertinent factors.

  FORECLOSED ASSETS:

        Foreclosed assets include real estate and other assets acquired
        through foreclosure or other proceedings, and in-substance
        foreclosures. In-substance foreclosures represent loans
        accounted for as foreclosed assets due to the borrower having
        limited equity in the underlying collateral, anticipated
        repayment only through the operation or sale of the collateral,
        or the borrower either formally or effectively abandoning
        control of the collateral. Foreclosed assets are included in
        other assets in the Supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        Foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of cost or fair
        value. Losses arising at the time of transfer from loans are
        charged to the reserve for possible loan losses. Subsequent
        valuation changes based upon periodic appraisals are charged
        against current earnings.

  BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT:

        Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
        depreciation. Provisions for depreciation are computed
        principally by the straight-line method and are based on
        estimated useful lives of the assets. The carrying value of
        assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation
        are eliminated from the accounts, and the resulting gains or
        losses are reflected in income.

        Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
        expense, while expenditures for major renewals are capitalized.

  INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

        Intangible assets, consisting primarily of goodwill and core
        deposit premium, are included in other assets in the
        Supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet.

        Goodwill, the excess of cost over the net assets acquired in
        business combinations accounted for as purchases, is amortized
        using the straight-line method over the estimated period to be
        benefited, most recently 15 years, but not exceeding 40 years.

        Core deposit premium represents the premiums paid, net of any
        rebate on assets acquired, plus the insurance funds' entrance
        and exit fees, for deposits acquired from failed thrift
        institutions in Resolution Trust Corporation-assisted
        transactions. This intangible asset is amortized, on an
        accelerated basis, over the estimated life of the core deposit
        base acquired, but not exceeding 10 years.
                                                                          7

        Mercantile completed a merger with Metro, a Waterloo, Iowa-
        based holding company for The Waterloo Savings Bank with assets
        totaling $370 million. A total of 5,631,953 and 1,638,278

        During the fourth quarter of 1993, certain adjustments were
        recorded by United Postal to conform their accounting and
        credit policies regarding loan, other real estate and other
        asset valuations to those of the Corporation. These adjustments
        amounted to $15 million on an after-tax basis.

        On September 1, 1993, Mercantile completed a merger with Mt.
        Vernon Bancorp, Inc., a $113,128,000-asset holding company for
        First Bank and Trust Co. in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. The total
        cost of the acquisition was $1,805,000 in cash and 216,936
        shares of Mercantile common stock. The excess of the purchase
        price over the fair value of net assets acquired was estimated
        to be $4,515,000. On April 1, 1993, Mercantile completed the
        merger with the $70,725,000-asset First National Bank of Flora
        in Clay County, Illinois. The total cost of the acquisition was
        $3,004,000 in cash and 232,503 shares of Mercantile common
        stock. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of
        net assets acquired was estimated to be $2,734,000. Both
        transactions were accounted for as purchases and, accordingly,
        the results of operations were included in the Supplemental
        Consolidated Financial Statements from the respective
        acquisition dates.

        On January 4, 1993, the Corporation acquired MidAmerican
        Corporation and Johnson County Bankshares, Inc., two northeast

        MidAmerican Corporation acquired Jayhawk Bancshares, Inc., a
        $52,000,000-asset, one-bank holding company in Lawrence,
        Kansas, in July 1992. This acquisition was accounted for as a

        The total cost of the acquisition was $10,872,000 in cash and
        $2,200,000 in notes, which are subject to offset based upon the
        outcome of certain litigation and losses in the loan portfolio
        of the acquired bank subsidiary. The excess of the purchase
        price over the fair value of net assets acquired was
        $9,347,000.

        The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net
        assets acquired was $3,807,000.

        For all acquisitions accounted for as purchases, the
        unamortized excess of cost over the fair value of assets
        acquired was $56,808,000, $56,121,000 and $48,622,000 at
        December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

  NOTE D

  CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS RESTRICTIONS

        The Corporation's subsidiary banks and thrift institution are
        required to maintain average reserve balances which place
        withdrawal and/or usage restrictions on cash and due from banks
        balances. The average amount of these restricted balances for
        the year ended December 31, 1993 was $166,330,000.

  NOTE E

  INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES

        Effective December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted FAS 115,
        and its cumulative effect was recorded on the Supplemental
        Consolidated Balance Sheet on that date. The most significant
        impact of the new accounting requirements is that unrealized
        holding gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, on
        securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded as an
        adjustment to retained earnings. In 1992 these securities were
        classified as held-for-sale, and were carried at the lower of
        amortized cost or fair value determined on an aggregate basis
        with adjustments recorded in current year earnings. The
        adoption of FAS 115 did not have a material effect on the
        financial condition or results of operations for the year ended
        December 31, 1993, and prior year Supplemental Consolidated
        Financial Statements have not been restated.

        On December 31, 1993, debt securities with an amortized cost of
        $2,970,160,000 were classified as "held-to-maturity;" and debt
        and equity securities with an amortized cost of $409,688,000
        were classified as "available-for-sale." A market valuation
        account of $5,595,000 was established for the available-for-
        sale securities to increase the recorded balance of such
        securities at December 31, 1993 to their estimated fair value
        on that date. A tax liability of $1,959,000 established the
        deferred tax effect of the market valuation account. The net
        increase resulting from the market valuation adjustment at
        December 31, 1993 was recorded as an adjustment to retained
        earnings.

        On October 15, 1992, the Corporation issued $150,000,000 of
        subordinated notes with a ten-year maturity and a coupon rate
        of 7.625% to yield 7.741%. These notes qualify as Tier II
        capital under current regulatory guidelines.

        On January 25, 1994, Mercantile Bank of St. Louis N.A. issued
        $75,000,000 of 6.375% 10-year, non-callable subordinated debt,
        due January 15, 2004. This debt qualifies as Tier II capital.
        The Corporation used the proceeds of this subordinated debt
        issue to: (1) prepay in full on February 23, 1994 the
        $30,550,000 8.500% unsecured debentures of the Corporation; and
        (2) prepay in full on February 1, 1994 the $23,653,000 8.250%
        mortgage secured by the Corporation's headquarters building.

        The 11.750% notes were direct, unsecured obligations of the
        Corporation. The notes were paid in full upon maturity in
        December 1992.

        The 8.500% debentures were direct, unsecured obligations of the
        Corporation. Required minimum annual redemptions of $1,050,000
        were met through 1993. These debentures were prepaid in full on
        February 23, 1994 as part of the debt refinancing described
        above.

        The 8.000% convertible subordinated capital notes were issued
        by Ameribanc, Inc. prior to its acquisition by the Corporation.
        At December 31, 1993, these notes were convertible into
        approximately 520,000 shares of the Corporation's common stock.

        Notes issued in acquisitions by the parent company with an
        interest rate of 6.500% matured in November 1993.

        All second-tier holding company debt was issued by either
        MidAmerican Corporation or Johnson County Bankshares, Inc.
        prior to their acquisition by the Corporation. Except for the
        notes issued in acquisitions, all second-tier holding company
        debt was paid off on January 5, 1993. Notes issued in
        acquisitions by a second-tier holding company were issued at a
        variable rate and are due in 1994. The notes are subject to
        offset based upon the outcome of certain litigation and losses
        in the loan portfolio of the acquired bank subsidiary.

        In July 1989, United Postal Savings Association issued $100
        million of 9.000% fixed-rate mortgage-backed notes with a
        maturity of July 1999. United Postal Savings Association used a
        portion of the proceeds from the sale of the notes as, or to
        purchase, eligible collateral which was pledged to the trustee
        simultaneously with the initial sale of the notes. During 1990,
        $46,600,000 of the mortgage-backed notes were repurchased on
        the open market at a discount.

        The mortgage payable, which bears interest at a rate of 8.250%,
        was a direct obligation of a bank subsidiary secured by the
        Corporation's headquarters building, Mercantile Tower, which
        had a carrying value of $23,548,000 at December 31, 1993. The
        Corporation prepaid this mortgage in full on February 1, 1994
        as part of the debt refinancing described above.

        The advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank was paid in full
        during 1993 by United Postal Savings Association.

  NOTE J

  INCOME TAXES

        The Corporation adopted FAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
        in the first quarter of 1993 and applied the provisions
        retroactively to January 1, 1988. The cumulative effect of this
        change in accounting for income taxes was a $6,900,000
        reduction of retained earnings as of that date. Adoption of FAS
        109 had no material impact on net income for the years ended
        December 31, 1993 and 1992. The effect on 1991 net income of
        adopting FAS 109 was a reduction to income tax expense of
        $18,000,000.

  NOTE K

  RETIREMENT PLANS

  PENSION PLANS:

        The Corporation maintains both qualified and nonqualified
        noncontributory pension plans that cover all employees meeting
        certain age and service requirements.

        The qualified plan provides pension benefits based on the
        employee's length of service and compensation earned during the
        five years prior to retirement. The Corporation's funding
        policy is to contribute annually at least the minimum amount
        required by government funding standards but not more than is
        tax deductible. No contribution was required or made during
        1993, 1992 or 1991.

        United Postal Savings Association is a member of the Financial
        Institutions Retirement Fund ("Fund"). This trust provides
        retirement and death benefits to multiple employers. All
        contributions to the Fund are comingled, and all assets of the
        Fund are invested on a pooled basis, without allocation to the
        individual employers. Therefore, United Postal Savings
        Association's pension plan assets and actuarial liabilities are

        an overfunding of the Fund, pension expense for the periods

</TABLE>


        At December 31, 1993, approximately 57% of the plan's assets
        was invested in listed common stocks; the remaining 43% was
        invested in government and corporate bonds rated A or better. A
        nominal amount of common stock of the Corporation was held by
        the plan.

        During 1991 the Corporation announced an early retirement
        program available to certain employees. The pension expense
        related to this program was $2,529,000.

        The nonqualified plans provide pension benefits which would
        have been provided under the qualified plan in the absence of
        limits placed on qualified plan benefits by the Internal
        Revenue Service. The Corporation's funding policy is to fund
        benefits as they are paid. Contributions under the nonqualified
        plans were not material for the three years ended December 31,
        1993, 1992 and 1991. The expense related to these plans was
        $1,641,000 in 1993, $1,337,000 in 1992 and $996,000 in 1991.

  OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS:

        In addition to the pension plans described above, the
        Corporation provides other postretirement benefits, largely
        medical benefits and life insurance, to its retirees.

        The Corporation adopted FAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for
        Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," in the first
        quarter of 1993. Expense for 1993 under FAS 106, assuming a 20-
        year amortization period for the transition obligation, was
        $4,917,000 compared with the cash basis cost of $2,225,000 in
        1992 and $1,846,000 in 1991.

  NOTE L

  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

  COMMON STOCK:

        The authorized common stock of the Corporation consists of
        70,000,000 shares as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
        35,000,000 shares as of December 31, 1991, $5.00 par value, of
        which 42,802,322, 42,031,973 and 33,639,248 shares were issued
        and outstanding at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991,
        respectively. An increase of authorized common stock to
        100,000,000 shares was approved by the Corporation's
        shareholders on April 28, 1994.

                                                                          15

             MERCANTILE BANCORPORATION INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
    NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT'D)

        The Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment Plan allows
        shareholders of record to reinvest dividends and/or make
        voluntary cash contributions to purchase additional shares of
        the Corporation's common stock. Under the Plan, stock is
        purchased in the open market by the Plan Trustee with no
        service charge to the shareholder.

  PREFERRED STOCK:

        The authorized preferred stock of the Corporation consists of
        5,000,000 shares, no par value, of which none were issued or
        outstanding at December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, although 700,000
        shares were reserved at December 31, 1993, for issuance pursuant to
        the Preferred Share Purchase Rights Plan. The preferred stock,
        which is issuable in series, shall have specific terms, preferences
        and other rights as determined by the Board of Directors for each
        series.

  PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS PLAN:

        One Preferred Share Purchase Right ("Right") is attached to each
        share of common stock and trades automatically with such shares.
        The Rights, which can be redeemed by the Board of Directors in
        certain circumstances and expire by their terms on June 3, 1998,
        have no voting rights.

        The Rights become exercisable and will trade separately from the
        common stock 10 days after a person or a group either becomes the
        beneficial owner or announces an intention to commence a tender
        offer for 20% or more of the Corporation's outstanding common
        stock. When exercisable, each Right entitles the registered holder
        to purchase from the Corporation 1/100 of a share of Series A
        Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $100 per 1/100 of a
        preferred share.

        In the event a person acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more
        of the Corporation's common stock, holders of Rights (other than
        the acquiring person or group) may purchase, at the Rights' then
        current exercise price, common stock of the Corporation having a
        value at that time equal to twice the exercise price. In the event
        the Corporation merges into or otherwise transfers 50% or more of
        its assets or earnings power to any person after the Rights become
        exercisable, holders of Rights may purchase, at the then current
        exercise price, common stock of the acquiring entity having a value
        at that time equal to twice the exercise price.

  STOCK OPTIONS:

        The Corporation had stock options outstanding under various plans
        at December 31, 1993, including plans assumed in acquisitions. The
        original Mercantile plans provide for the granting to employees of
        the Corporation and its subsidiaries of options to purchase shares
        of common stock of the Corporation over periods of up to 10 years
        at a price not less than the market value of the shares at the date
        the options are granted. The plans provide for the granting of

        As of February 1, 1994, the acquisition date of United Postal, the
        remaining unvested options, totaling 391,082 shares, of the United
        Postal plans became exercisable.

        No amounts have been charged to income in connection with any plan.

  DEBT AND DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS:

        Consolidated retained earnings at December 31, 1993 were not
        restricted under any debenture agreement as to payment of
        dividends and reacquisition of common stock.

        The primary source of funds for dividends paid by the
        Corporation to its shareholders is dividends received from bank
        and thrift subsidiaries. At December 31, 1993, approximately
        $251,139,000 of the equity of bank and thrift subsidiaries was
        available for distribution as dividends to the Parent Company
        without prior regulatory approval or without reducing the
        capital of the respective subsidiary banks and thrift
        institution below present minimum standards. An additional
        $94,218,000 would be available for loans to the Parent Company
        under Federal Reserve regulations. The remaining equity of bank
        and thrift subsidiaries approximating $679,312,000 was
        restricted as to transfers to the Parent Company.

  NOTE M

  CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

        The Corporation's primary market area is the state of Missouri and
        the lower Midwest. At December 31, 1993, approximately 93% of the
        total loan portfolio, and 91% of the commercial and commercial real
        estate loan portfolio, were to borrowers within this region. The
        diversity of the region's economic base tends to provide a stable
        lending environment.

        Real estate lending constituted the only other significant
        concentration of credit risk. Real estate-related financial
        instruments (loans, commitments and standby letters of credit)
        comprised 36% of all such instruments of the Corporation. However,
        of this total, approximately 64% was consumer-related in the form
        of residential real estate mortgages and home equity lines of
        credit.

        The Corporation is, in general, a secured lender. At December 31,
        1993, approximately 83% of the loan portfolio was secured.
        Collateral is required in accordance with the normal credit
        evaluation process based upon the creditworthiness of the customer
        and the credit risk associated with the particular transaction.

  NOTE N

  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  FAIR VALUES:

        Fair values for financial instruments are management's
        estimates of the values at which the instruments could be
        exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. These
        estimates are subjective and may vary significantly from
        amounts that would be realized in actual transactions. In
        addition, certain financial instruments and all non-financial
        instruments are excluded from the fair value disclosure
        requirements of FAS 107. Therefore, the fair values presented
        below should not be construed as the underlying value of the
        Corporation.

        The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating
        fair values for financial instruments.

         Cash and Due from Banks, Short-term Investments and Short-
         term Borrowings: The carrying values reported in the
         Supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet approximated fair
         values.

         Investments in Debt and Equity Securities: Fair values for
         held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities were based
         upon quoted market prices where available. Fair values for
         trading securities, which also were the amounts reported in
         the Supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet, were based on
         quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices
         were not available, fair values were based upon quoted market
         prices of comparable instruments.

         Loans and Leases: The fair values for most loans were
         estimated utilizing discounted cash flow calculations that
         applied interest rates currently being offered for similar
         loans to borrowers with similar risk profiles. Loans with
         similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of these
         calculations. Non-accrual loans were valued at face value
         adjusted for potential credit loss. The par value of credit
         card loans was assumed to be the same as the fair value. The
         fair value estimate of the credit card portfolio does not
         include any value attributable to the ongoing cardholder
         relationship. That component was estimated to be
         approximately $135,000,000 to $165,000,000 in excess of the
         fair value at December 31, 1993 as compared to approximately
         $110,000,000 to $135,000,000 in excess of the fair value at
         December 31, 1992.

         Deposits: The fair values disclosed for deposits generally
         payable on demand (i.e., interest bearing and non-interest
         bearing demand, savings, and money market accounts) were
         considered equal to their respective carrying amounts as
         reported in the Supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet. Fair
         values for certificates of deposit and foreign deposits were
         estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that
         applied interest rates currently being offered on similar
         certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly
         maturities of time deposits. The fair value estimate of the
         deposit portfolio has not been adjusted for any value derived
         from the retention of those deposits for an expected future
         period of time. That component, commonly referred to as core
         deposit premium, was estimated to be approximately
         $180,000,000 to $275,000,000 at December 31, 1993 as compared
         to approximately $185,000,000 to $280,000,000 at December 31,
         1992 and was neither considered in the fair value amounts
         below nor recorded as an intangible asset in the Supplemental
         Consolidated Balance Sheet.

         Long-term Debt: The fair value of publicly traded debt was
         based upon quoted market prices, where available, or upon
         quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The fair
         values of other long-term debt were estimated using
         discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Corporation's
         current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of
         borrowing arrangements.

         Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments: Fair values of foreign
         exchange contracts and interest rate contracts were
         determined from quoted market prices. Fair values of
         commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and
         commercial letters of credit were based on fees currently
         charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account
         the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties'
         credit standings.

                                                                          17

  OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK:

    The Corporation is, in the normal course of business, a party to
    certain off-balance-sheet financial instruments with inherent
    credit and/or market risk. These instruments, which include
    commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest
    options written, interest futures contracts and foreign exchange
    contracts, are used by the Corporation to meet the financing needs
    of its customers and, to a lesser degree, to reduce its own
    exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These instruments involve,
    to varying degrees, credit and market risk in excess of the amount
    recognized in the Supplemental Consolidated Balance Sheet.

    The Corporation's maximum exposure to credit loss under commitments
    to extend credit and standby letters of credit is the equivalent of
    the contractual amount of those instruments. The same credit
    policies are used by the Corporation in granting commitments and
    conditional obligations as are used in the extension of credit.

    Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend
    to a borrower as long as the borrower performs in accordance with
    the terms of the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
    expiration dates or other termination clauses, and may require
    payment of a fee. As many of the commitments are expected to expire
    without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not
    necessarily represent future cash requirements. Included in
    consumer commitments are the unused portions of lines of credit for
    credit card and home equity credit line loans.

    Standby letters of credit are commitments issued by the Corporation
    to guarantee specific performance of a customer to a third party.

    Collateral is required for both commitments and standby letters of
    credit in accordance with the normal credit evaluation process
    based upon the creditworthiness of the customer and the credit risk
    associated with the particular transaction. Collateral held varies,
    but may include commercial real estate, accounts receivable,
    inventory and equipment.

    Included in interest rate contracts are interest rate exchange
    agreements with major investment banking firms to convert short-
    term variable-rate liabilities into long-term fixed-rate
    liabilities, to secure interest margins, and to hedge against
    interest rate movements.

    For interest options written and foreign exchange contracts, the
    contractual or notional amounts of $31,400,000 and $287,030,000,
    respectively, at December 31, 1993 do not represent exposure to
    credit loss. These commitments are generally entered into on behalf
    of customers and result in the Corporation being in a matched
    position. Credit risk in the transactions is minimal. The
    Corporation controls the credit risk of these instruments through
    established credit approvals, risk control limits and other
    monitoring procedures. Market risk to the Corporation could result
    from non-performance by the counterparty to a contract.

  NOTE O

  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

    subsidiaries. Management, after consultation with legal
    counsel, is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of
    these proceedings will have no material adverse effect on the
    consolidated financial position or results of operations of the
    Corporation.

                      INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

KPMG Peat Marwick
Certified Public Accounts

St. Louis, MO 63101


    Shareholders and Board of Directors
    Mercantile Bancorporation Inc.:

    We have audited the accompanying supplemental consolidated balance
    sheets of Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. and subsidiaries as of
    December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, and the related supplemental
    consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity,
    and cash flows for the years then ended. These supplemental
    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. The
    supplemental consolidated financial statements give retroactive
    effect to the mergers of Metro Bancorporation and United Postal
    Bancorp, Inc. on January 3, 1994 and February 1, 1994,
    respectively, which have been accounted for using the pooling of
    interests method as described in the notes to the supplemental
    consolidated financial statements. Generally accepted accounting
    principles proscribe giving effect to consummated business
    combinations accounted for by the pooling of interest method in
    financial statements that do not include the dates of consummation.
    These financial statements do not extend through the dates of
    consummation; however, they will become the historical consolidated
    financial statements of Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. and
    subsidiaries after financial statements covering the dates of
    consummation of the business combinations are issued.

    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 supplemental consolidated financial statements
    referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
    financial position of Mercantile Bancorporation Inc. and
    subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, and the
    results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then
    ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
    applicable after financial statements are issued for a period which
    includes the date of consummation of the business combinations.
