The Proposed Merger
Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in
the Merger Agreement described below, TCB will merge with and into Merger Sub.
Upon consummation of the Merger, TCB's corporate existence will terminate, with
Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation, and each share of TCB Common
Stock will be converted into the right to receive 2,228.2299 (the "Exchange
Ratio") shares of MBI Common Stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares, each
11
<PAGE>
share of TCB Series A Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to
receive one share of MBI Series B-1 Preferred Stock, and each share of TCB
Series B Preferred Stock will be converted into the right to receive one share
of MBI Series B-2 Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Merger Consideration").
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain terms and conditions,
including the approval of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of TCB Common Stock and TCB
Preferred Stock and receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals. See "TERMS OF
THE PROPOSED MERGER -- Conditions of the Merger" and "-- Regulatory Approval."
Unless the parties otherwise agree, the closing (the "Closing") of the
Merger shall take place at 10:00 A.M., local time, on the date (the "Closing
Date") on which the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") occurs,
which shall be such date as MBI shall notify TCB in writing but (i) not earlier
than the approval by TCB stockholders of the Merger Agreement and the receipt of
all requisite regulatory approvals (the "Approval Date"), and (ii) not later
than the first business day of the first full calendar month commencing at least
five business days after the Approval Date. See "TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER --
Effective Time."
The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
Closing Date by the mutual consent of the parties or by either party upon the
occurrence of certain events or if the Merger is not consummated by October 2,
1995. See "TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER -- Termination of the Merger Agreement."
Support Agreements
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, MBI and each
of Mr. Frank Lyon, Jr. and Mr. T.E. Renaud (each, a "Stockholder" and together,
the "Stockholders") executed separate Support Agreements pursuant to which each
Stockholder agreed that he will vote all shares of TCB Capital Stock owned to
approve the Merger Agreement. Each Stockholder also thereby agreed, among other
things, to not, and to not permit any company, trust or other entity controlled
by such stockholder to, (i) sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, or agree
to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any shares of TCB Capital Stock
owned by such Stockholder except as provided therein or (ii) initiate, solicit
or encourage any discussions, inquiries or proposals with any third party in
respect of the disposition of any significant portion of the assets of TCB or
the TCB Capital Stock or the equity securities of any subsidiary of TCB or to
12
<PAGE>
provide any information to or assist or negotiate with any third party with
respect to any such disposition. See "TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER -- Support
Agreements."
Vote Required
Approval by the TCB stockholders of the Merger Agreement requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of TCB
Common Stock and TCB Preferred Stock (the "Stockholder Approval"). Certain
directors and executive officers of TCB and their affiliates own beneficially
100% of the shares entitled to vote in respect of the Stockholder Approval. Each
of those directors and officers has agreed pursuant to a support agreement
entered into by each such director or officer (each, a "Support Agreement") to
vote the shares of TCB Capital Stock owned by him for approval of the Merger
Agreement. See "TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER -- Support Agreements."
Reasons for the Merger
The Board of Directors of TCB has carefully considered and unanimously
approved the terms of the Merger Agreement as being in the best interest of TCB
and its stockholders.
The recommendation of TCB's Board of Directors is based upon a number
of factors, including the Exchange Ratio and other terms of the Merger
Agreement, the benefits expected to result from the combination of MBI and TCB,
information concerning the financial condition, results of operations and
prospects of MBI and TCB on a combined basis, the prices of and dividend
policies in respect of MBI Common Stock and MBI Preferred Stock ("MBI Capital
Stock") and TCB Capital Stock, and recent developments in the depository
institutions industry.
See "TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER -- Background and Reasons for the
Merger; TCB Board Recommendation."
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of MBI Common Stock will be issued to the former
stockholders of TCB in connection with the Merger. Each former holder of TCB
Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a
share of MBI Common stock shall receive in lieu thereof cash, without interest,
in an amount equal to the holder's fractional share interest multiplied by the
closing stock price of MBI Common Stock on the last business day preceding the
Effective Time. Cash received by TCB stockholders in lieu of fractional shares
13
<PAGE>
may give rise to taxable income. See "CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF
THE MERGER."
Waiver and Amendment
Any term, condition or provision of the Merger Agreement may be waived
in writing at any time by the party which is, or whose stockholders are,
entitled to the benefits thereof. The Merger Agreement and the schedules thereto
may be amended by the Boards of Directors of MBI and TCB, by an instrument in
writing signed on behalf of each of MBI and TCB, at any time before or after
approval of the Merger Agreement by the Stockholders of TCB; provided that after
any such approval by the Stockholders no such modification may alter or change
the amount or kind of consideration to be received by holders of TCB Common
Stock in the Merger.
Federal Income Tax Consequences in General
Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, special counsel to MBI, and the Rose
Law Firm, special counsel to TCB, have delivered their opinions to the effect
that, assuming the Merger occurs in accordance with the Merger Agreement and
conditioned on the accuracy of certain representations made by MBI and TCB, the
Merger will constitute a "reorganization" for federal income tax purposes and
that, accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized by TCB stockholders who
exchange their shares of TCB Common Stock solely for shares of MBI Common Stock,
shares of TCB Series A Preferred Stock solely for shares of MBI Series B-1
Preferred Stock, and shares of TCB Series B Preferred Stock solely for shares of
MBI Series B-2 Preferred Stock in the Merger. However, cash received in lieu of
fractional shares may give rise to taxable income. Each TCB stockholder is urged
to consult his or her own tax advisor to determine the specific tax consequences
of the Merger to such stockholder. See "CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
OF THE MERGER."
Regulatory Approval
The Merger is subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") under the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). In addition, the Merger is
subject to the prior approval of the Arkansas Bank Commissioner (the "State Bank
Regulator") and any other necessary regulatory authority. Applications for such
approvals have been or will be filed. There can be no assurance that the
necessary regulatory approvals will be received or as to the timing of such
approvals. See "TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER -- Regulatory Approval."
14
<PAGE>
Accounting Treatment
It is intended that the Merger will be accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting. See "TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER --
Accounting Treatment."
Dissenters' Rights
Under Arkansas law, a holder of TCB Capital Stock may dissent from the
Merger and receive payment of the "fair value" of such share if the Merger is
consummated by following certain procedures set forth in Section 4-27-1320 of
the Arkansas Business Corporation Act of 1987 (the "Arkansas Act"). However, as
set forth in "THE PROPOSED MERGER -- Other Agreements," each of the Stockholders
of TCB Capital Stock executed a Support Agreement pursuant to which such
Stockholder has agreed to vote all shares owned by such Stockholder for approval
of the Merger Agreement. See "DISSENTERS' RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS OF TCB."

TERMS OF THE PROPOSED MERGER
The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the
Merger Agreement, which document is incorporated by reference herein. This
summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement.
General Description of the Merger
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, TCB will merge at the Effective Time
with and into Merger Sub. Upon consummation of the Merger, TCB's corporate
existence will terminate, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving
corporation, and (i) each share of TCB Common Stock will be converted into the
right to receive 2,228.2299 shares of MBI Common Stock, with cash in lieu of
fractional shares, (ii) each share of TCB Series A Preferred Stock will be
converted into the right to receive one share of MBI Series B-1 Preferred Stock,
and (iii) each share of TCB Series B Preferred Stock will be converted into the
right to receive one share of MBI Series B-2 Preferred Stock. The value of stock
to be issued pursuant to the Merger may fluctuate prior to and following the
Effective Time.
The amount and nature of the consideration was established through
arm's-length negotiations between MBI and TCB, and reflects the balancing of a
number of countervailing factors. The total amount of the consideration reflects
a price both parties concluded was appropriate. See "-- Background of and
Reasons for the Merger; Board Recommendations." The fact that the consideration
is payable in shares of MBI Common Stock reflects the potential for change in
the value of the MBI Common Stock and the desire to have the favorable tax
attributes of a "reorganization" for federal income tax purposes. See "CERTAIN
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER."
NO ASSURANCE CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE OF MBI
COMMON STOCK WILL BE EQUIVALENT TO THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF MBI COMMON STOCK ON
THE DATE SUCH STOCK IS RECEIVED BY A TCB STOCKHOLDER OR AT ANY OTHER TIME. THE
FAIR MARKET VALUE OF MBI COMMON STOCK RECEIVED BY A TCB STOCKHOLDER MAY BE
GREATER OR LESS THAN THE CURRENT FAIR MARKET VALUE OF MBI COMMON STOCK DUE TO
NUMEROUS MARKET FACTORS.
Following the Effective Time, each stockholder of TCB will be required
to submit to MBI a properly executed letter of transmittal and surrender to MBI
the stock certificate(s) formerly representing the shares of TCB Common Stock or
TCB Preferred Stock in order to obtain issuance of a new stock certificate
evidencing the shares of MBI Common Stock or MBI Preferred Stock, as the case
22
<PAGE>
may be, to which such stockholder is entitled. No dividends or other
distributions will be paid to a former TCB stockholder with respect to shares of
MBI Common Stock or MBI Preferred Stock until such person surrenders the
certificates formerly representing shares of TCB Common Stock and TCB Preferred
Stock representing the right to receive such MBI Common Stock or MBI Preferred
Stock, at which time such dividends will be remitted to such person without
interest and less any taxes that may have been imposed thereon. See "TERMS OF
THE PROPOSED MERGER -- Surrender of TCB Stock Certificates and Receipt of MBI
Capital Stock." No fractional shares of MBI Common Stock will be issued in the
Merger, but cash will be paid in lieu of such fractional shares, such cash being
calculated by multiplying the holder's fractional share interest by the closing
stock price of MBI Common Stock on the NYSE Composite Tape as reported in The
Wall Street Journal on the last business day preceding the Effective Time. See
"-- Fractional Shares."
Support Agreements
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, MBI and each
Stockholder executed separate Support Agreements pursuant to which each
Stockholder agreed that: (i) Stockholder will not, and will not permit any
company, trust or other entity controlled by Stockholder to, contract to sell,
sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of TCB stock or MBI stock or
any interest therein or securities convertible thereinto or any voting rights
with respect thereto, other than (a) pursuant to the Merger or (b) with Buyer's
prior written consent or (c) in the case of Mr. Renaud, to a grantor trust in
which stockholder is trustee; (ii) all of the shares of TCB stock beneficially
owned by Stockholder, or over which Stockholder has voting power or control,
directly or indirectly, in each case at the record date for any meeting of
stockholders of TCB called to consider and vote to approve the Merger Agreement
and/or the transactions contemplated thereby will be voted by the undersigned in
favor thereof; (iii) Stockholder will, and will cause any company, trust or
other entity controlled by Stockholder to, cooperate with MBI in connection with
the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby; Stockholder will
not, and will not permit any such company, trust or other entity, directly or
indirectly (including through its officers, directors, employees or other
representatives) to initiate, solicit or encourage any discussions, inquiries or
proposals with any third party relating to the disposition of any significant
portion of the business or assets of TCB or any TCB subsidiary or the
acquisition of Equity Securities of TCB or any TCB subsidiary or the merger of
TCB or any TCB Subsidiary with any person (other than MBI) or any similar
23
<PAGE>
transaction (each such transaction being referred to herein as an "Acquisition
Transaction"), or provide any such person with information or assistance or
negotiate with any such person with respect to an Acquisition Transaction or
agree to or otherwise assist in the effectuation of any Acquisition Transaction;
and (iv) Stockholder will execute and deliver a certificate containing such
representations as are reasonably necessary and customary for tax counsel to
each of MBI and TCB to render an opinion to the effect that the Merger will
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 and that no gain or loss will be recognized by the
stockholders of TCB to the extent they receive MBI Common Stock or MBI Preferred
Stock solely in exchange for shares of TCB Common Stock TCB Preferred stock, as
the case may be.
Background and Reasons for the Merger; TCB Board Recommendation
Reasons and Board Recommendation. TCB, recognizing the current trends
in banking and the acquisitions of banking organizations within TCB's service
area, began exploring options for combining with a large organization which had
the ability to issue publicly-traded common stock to fund future acquisitions.
Contact was made with a number of regional holding companies, including, among
others, MBI. Several made proposals expressing serious interest in a potential
combination and preliminary discussions were held with them. MBI's proposal
appeared to TCB to offer the most attractive possible combination and further
discussions were held with MBI, resulting in the Merger Agreement being
negotiated by representatives of TCB and MBI. In determining whether to approve
the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of TCB ("Board") reviewed MBI's
respective businesses, the results of operations and financial condition
(including the assets, quality and capital levels), growth prospects, products
available to customers, historical dividend and market price performance, and
the fact that MBI's Common Stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The
Board also considered the management strength and depth of MBI, and the
significant market penetration that the combined organization would have within
the regional banking market. The Board also considered MBI's commitment to
serving the banking and other needs of TCB's depositors, employees, customers,
and community, as well as MBI's policy emphasizing the local character of
community banks and continuing the involvement of members of the Board, as well
as members of management of such banks. Based on these considerations, the Board
unanimously approved the Merger Agreement on December 2, 1994.
24
<PAGE>
MBI's Reasons. MBI has considered a number of factors, including,
among other things, the financial condition of TCB, the projected synergies
between MBI and TCB which are anticipated to result from the Merger, and the
opportunity for MBI to expand into a new market area with the potential for
increased revenues from marketing its existing products and services. MBI has
concluded that the Merger presents a unique opportunity for MBI to enter the
banking market in the state of Arkansas through the acquisition of an
established banking organization with expertise and a major market presence in
the state. MBI's decision to pursue discussions with TCB was primarily a result
of MBI's assessment of the value of TCB's franchise within the targeted market,
its substantial asset base within that area and the compatibility of the
businesses of the two organizations.
Conditions of the Merger
The respective obligations of MBI and TCB to consummate the Merger are
subject to the fulfillment or waiver at or prior to the Effective Time of the
following conditions:
(i) The Merger Agreement shall have received the requisite
approval of stockholders of TCB.

(v) Each of MBI and TCB shall have received, from counsel
reasonably satisfactory to it, an opinion reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to it to the effect that the Merger will constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and that no gain or loss will be
recognized by the stockholders of TCB to the extent they receive MBI Common
Stock solely in exchange for shares of TCB Common Stock.
25

(vi) The receipt of an opinion addressed to MBI from KPMG Peat

institutions generally, or in general levels of interest rates that affect MBI
and its subsidiaries, taken as whole, consistent with the manner in which
changes in the general levels of interest rates since December 31, 1993 has
affected MBI, which the Board of Directors of TCB in the good faith exercise of
27
<PAGE>
its reasonable judgment believes either (1) to be inconsistent in any material
and adverse respect with any of the representations or warranties of MBI or (2)
(a) to be of such significance as to materially and adversely affect the
condition of MBI and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) to deviate
materially and adversely from the financial statement for the year ended
December 31, 1993 of MBI, (y) TCB notifies MBI of such matters within 30 days of
the date of the Merger Agreement, and (z) such matters (1) are not capable of
being cured or (2) have not been cured within 30 days after written notice
thereof to MBI.
No assurance can be given that the Merger will be consummated, that
MBI and TCB will not mutually agree to terminate the Merger Agreement or that
MBI or TCB will not elect to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger has
not been consummated on or before October 2, 1995.
Effective Time
Unless the parties otherwise agree, the Closing of the Merger will
take place at 10:00 A.M., local time, on the date on which the Effective Time
occurs, which shall be such date as MBI notifies TCB in writing but not earlier
than the Approval Date, and not later than the first business day of the first
full calendar month commencing at least five business days after the Approval
Date. The Effective Time will occur when a certificate of merger is filed with
the Secretary of State of the State of Arkansas in the form and manner required
by the Arkansas Act.
Surrender of TCB Stock Certificates and Receipt of MBI Capital Stock
At the Effective Time, holders of record of certificates formerly
representing shares of TCB Common Stock and TCB Preferred Stock (the
"Certificates") will be instructed to tender such Certificates to MBI pursuant
to a letter of transmittal that MBI will deliver or cause to be delivered to
such holders. Such letters of transmittal will specify that risk of loss and
title to Certificates will pass only upon delivery of such Certificates to MBI.
After the Effective Time, each previous holder of a Certificate that
surrenders such Certificate to MBI will, upon acceptance thereof by MBI, be
entitled to a certificate or certificates representing the number of full shares
of MBI Common Stock or MBI Preferred Stock, as the case may be, into which the
Certificate so surrendered will have been converted pursuant to the Merger
28
<PAGE>
Agreement and any distribution theretofore declared and not yet paid with
respect to such shares of MBI Common Stock or MBI Preferred Stock, as the case
may be, without interest. MBI will accept Certificates upon compliance with such
reasonable terms and conditions as MBI may impose to effect an orderly exchange
thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. Certificates must be
appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of transfer as MBI may
require.
Each outstanding Certificate will, until duly surrendered to MBI, be
deemed to evidence ownership of the Merger Consideration into which the stock
previously represented by such Certificate will have been converted in the
Merger. After the Effective Time, holders of Certificates will cease to have
rights with respect to the stock previously represented by such Certificates,
and their sole right will be to exchange such Certificates for such Merger
Consideration. After the Effective Time, there will be no further transfer on
the records of TCB of Certificates, and if such Certificates are presented to
TCB for transfer, they will be cancelled against delivery of such Merger
Consideration.
MBI will not be obligated to deliver the Merger Consideration to which
any former holder of TCB Common Stock or TCB Preferred Stock is entitled until
such holder surrenders the Certificates as provided herein. No dividends
declared will be remitted to any person entitled to receive MBI Common Stock or
MBI Preferred Stock in the Merger until such person surrenders the Certificate
representing the right to receive such MBI Common Stock or MBI Preferred Stock,
at which time such dividends will be remitted to such person, without interest
and less any taxes that may have been imposed thereon.
Certificates surrendered for exchange by any person will not be
exchanged for certificates representing MBI Common Stock or MBI Preferred Stock,
as the case may be, until MBI has received a written agreement from such person
not to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of MBI Common Stock or MBI
Preferred Stock, as the case may be, received by such person until financial
results covering at least 30 days of combined operations have been published.
See "INFORMATION REGARDING MBI STOCK -- Restrictions on Resale of MBI Capital
Stock by Affiliates; Affiliate Agreement."
Neither TCB nor MBI, nor any affiliate thereof, will be liable to any
holder of stock represented by any Certificate for any Merger Consideration paid
to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar laws. MBI will be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of TCB
29
<PAGE>
to establish the identity of those persons entitled to receive Merger
Consideration, which books will be conclusive with respect thereto. In the event
of a dispute with respect to ownership of stock represented by any Certificate,
MBI will be entitled to deposit any Merger Consideration represented thereby in
escrow with an independent third party and thereafter be relieved with respect
to any claims thereto.
Bank Minority Shares
TCB agreed to use its best efforts to cause all agreements pursuant to
which any stockholders of each of the banks owned by TCB (other than MBI or its
subsidiaries) hold shares of capital stock of such banks, whether as qualifying
shares or otherwise, to be amended and/or restated, in a manner and on terms
reasonably acceptable to MBI, so as to provide TCB and its successors an
unqualified right to repurchase such shares at any time and/or from time to
time, subject only to payment by TCB or its successors of the amounts specified
in such agreements for the repurchase thereof.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of MBI Common Stock will be issued to the former
stockholders of TCB in connection with the Merger. Each former holder of TCB
Common Stock who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a
share of MBI Common Stock will receive cash in lieu thereof, without interest,
in an amount equal to the holder's fractional share interest multiplied by the
closing stock price of MBI Common Stock on the last business day preceding the
Effective Time. No stockholder of TCB entitled to receive cash in lieu of
fractional shares will be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other
rights in respect of such fractional shares. Cash received by TCB stockholders
in lieu of fractional shares may give rise to taxable income. See "CERTAIN
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER."
Regulatory Approval
The obligations of the parties to effect the Merger are subject to
prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the State Bank Regulator and any
other necessary regulatory authority.
The Merger is subject to approval by the Federal Reserve Board under
the BHCA. Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve Board is required, in approving
transactions such as the Merger, to take into consideration the financial and
managerial resources and future prospects of the existing and proposed
30
<PAGE>
institutions and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. In
considering financial resources and future prospects, the Federal Reserve Board
will, among other things, evaluate the adequacy of the capital levels of MBI and
its bank subsidiaries following the Merger.
The BHCA prohibits the Federal Reserve Board from approving the Merger
if the Merger would result in a monopoly or be in furtherance of any combination
or conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to monopolize the business of banking
in any part of the United States, or if their effect in any section of the
country may be substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a
monopoly, or if it would in any other manner result in a restraint of trade,
unless the Federal Reserve Board finds that the anticompetitive effects of the
Merger are clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect of
transactions in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities to be
served. In addition, under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended,
the Federal Reserve Board must take into account the record of performance of
the existing institutions in meeting the credit needs of the entire community,
including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, served by such institutions.
Under the BHCA, the Merger may not be consummated until the 30th day
following the date of Federal Reserve Board approval (or, if the Department of
Justice has not submitted adverse comments with respect to competitive factors,
the 15th day), during which time the United States Department of Justice may
challenge the Merger on antitrust grounds. The commencement of an antitrust
action would stay the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve Board's approval
unless a court specifically orders otherwise.
The BHCA provides for the publication of notice and public comment on
the applications and authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to permit interested
parties to intervene in the proceedings. If an interested party is permitted to
intervene, such intervention could delay the regulatory approvals required for
consummation of the Merger.
The Merger is also subject to the approval of the State Bank
Regulator, who is required to approve the transfer of TCB Capital Stock to MBI
if he determines that the application meets the requirements contained in the
Arkansas Regional Reciprocal Interstate Banking Act.
Applications for such approvals have been or will be filed. There can
be no assurance that any necessary regulatory approval or action will be
received or taken, as to the timing of such approval or action, that no action
31
<PAGE>
will be brought challenging such approval or action, or if such a challenge is
brought, the result thereof, or that any such approval or action will not be
conditioned in a manner that would cause the parties to abandon the Merger. MBI
and TCB are not aware of any governmental approvals or actions that may be
required for consummation of the Merger other than as described above. Should
any other approval or action be required, it is presently contemplated that such
approval or action would be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any
such approval or action, if needed, could be obtained or would not be
conditioned in a manner that would cause the parties to abandon the Merger.
See "-- Effective Time," "-- Conditions of the Merger," "-- Waiver and
Amendment," "-- Termination of the Merger Agreement" and "SUPERVISION AND
REGULATION."
Business Pending the Merger
From December 2, 1994 to the Effective Time, each of MBI and TCB
agreed to, and to cause each of their respective subsidiaries to, conduct its
business according to the ordinary and usual course consistent with past
practices and to cause each such subsidiary to use its best efforts to maintain
and preserve its business organization, employees and advantageous business
relationships and retain the services of its officers and key employees.
Furthermore, from December 2, 1994 to the Effective Time, the Merger
Agreement provides that, except as provided in the Merger Agreement, TCB has
agreed not to, and to cause each of its subsidiaries not to, without the prior
written consent of MBI:
(i) declare, set aside or pay any dividends or other
distributions, directly or indirectly, in respect of its capital stock
(other than dividends from a subsidiary of TCB to TCB or another subsidiary
of TCB), except that TCB may declare and pay (A) (x) for dividends payable
in 1994, regular semi-annual cash dividends of not more than $60.00 per
share on the TCB Common Stock, and (y) for dividends payable in 1995,
quarterly cash dividends of not more than the greater of (1) $30.00 per
share and (2) an amount per share equal to the product of the Exchange
Ratio and the most recent quarterly dividend paid by MBI on the MBI Common
Stock, (B) quarterly cash dividends on the TCB Series A Preferred Stock of
not more than $10.00 per share and (c) quarterly cash dividends on the TCB
Series B Preferred Stock of not more than $21.25 per share; provided, that
32
<PAGE>
Seller shall not declare or pay any dividends on TCB Common Stock or TCB
Preferred Stock for any period in which its stockholders will be entitled
to receive any regular quarterly dividend on the shares of MBI Common Stock
or MBI Preferred Stock to be issued in the Merger;
(ii) except as provided for in the Merger Agreement, enter into
or amend any employment, severance or similar agreement or arrangement with
any director or officer or employee, or materially modify any of TCB's
employee benefit plans specified in the Merger Agreement or grant any
salary or wage increase or materially increase any employee benefit
(including incentive or bonus payments), except normal individual increases
in compensation to employees consistent with past practice, or as required
by law or contract;
(iii) authorize, recommend (subject to the fiduciary duties of
TCB's Board of Directors, upon written advice of counsel to TCB, which
counsel is reasonably acceptable to MBI), propose or announce an intention
to authorize, recommend or propose, or enter into an agreement in principle
with respect to, any merger, consolidation or business combination (other
than the Merger), any acquisition of a material amount of assets or
securities, any disposition of a material amount of assets or securities or
any release or relinquishment of any material contract rights;
(iv) propose or adopt any amendments to its articles of
incorporation, or other charter document or by-laws;
(v) issue, sell, grant, confer or award any of its Equity
Securities (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or effect any stock split
or adjust, combine, reclassify or otherwise change its capitalization as it
existed on December 2, 1994;
(vi) purchase, redeem, retire, repurchase, or exchange, or
otherwise acquire or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of its Equity
Securities, whether pursuant to the terms of such Equity Securities or
otherwise;
(vii) (A) without first consulting with MBI, enter into or
increase any loan or credit commitment (including stand-by letters of
credit) to, or invest or agree to invest in any person or entity or modify
any of the material provisions or renew or otherwise extend the maturity
33
<PAGE>
date of any existing loan or credit commitment (collectively, "Lend to") in
an amount in excess of $1,500,000, or in such amount which, or when
aggregated with any and all loans or credit commitments to such person or
entity, would be in excess of $1,500,000; (B) without first obtaining the
written consent of MBI, lend to any person or entity in an amount in excess
of $3,000,000 or in an amount which, when aggregated with any and all loans
or credit commitments to such person or entity, would be in excess of
$3,000,000; (C) Lend to any person other than in accordance with lending
policies as in effect on December 2, 1994; provided that in the case of
clauses (B) and (C) TCB or any TCB subsidiary may make any such loan in the
event (1) TCB has delivered to MBI or its designated representative a
notice of its intention to make such loan and such information as MBI or
its designated representative may reasonably require in respect thereof and
(2) MBI or its designated representative shall not have reasonably objected
to such loan by giving written or facsimile notice of such objection within
two business days following the delivery to MBI of the notice of intention
and information as aforesaid; or (D) Lend to any person or entity any of
the loans or other extensions of credit to which or investments in which
are on a "watch list" or similar internal report of TCB or any TCB
subsidiary (except those denoted "pass" thereon), in an amount in excess of
$250,000; provided, however, that nothing described in this paragraph will
prohibit TCB or any TCB subsidiary from honoring any contractual obligation
in existence on December 2, 1994 or, with respect to loans described in
clause (A) above, making such loans after consulting with MBI;
(viii) directly or indirectly (including through its officers,
directors, employees or other representatives) initiate, solicit or
encourage any discussions, inquiries or proposals with any third party
relating to the disposition of any significant portion of the business or
assets of TCB or any TCB subsidiary or the acquisition of Equity Securities
of TCB or any TCB subsidiary or the merger of TCB or any TCB subsidiary
with any person (other than MBI) or any similar transaction (each such
transaction being referred to as an "Acquisition Transaction"), or provide
any such person with information or assistance or negotiate with any such
person with respect to an Acquisition Transaction, and TCB shall promptly
notify MBI orally of all the relevant details relating to all inquiries,
indications of interest and proposals which it may receive with respect to
any Acquisition Transaction;
34
<PAGE>
(ix) other than in the ordinary course of business consistent
with past practice, incur any indebtedness for borrowed money, assume,
guarantee, endorse or otherwise as an accommodation become responsible or
liable for the obligations of any other individual, corporation or other
entity;
(x) restructure or materially change its investment securities
portfolio, through purchases, sales or otherwise, or the manner in which
the portfolio is classified or reported; or
(xi) agree in writing or otherwise to take any of the foregoing
actions or engage in any activity, enter into any transaction or take or
omit to take any other act which would make any of the representations and
warranties of TCB in the Merger Agreement untrue or incorrect in any
material respect if made anew after engaging in such activity, entering
into such transaction, or taking or omitting such other act.
Waiver and Amendment
Any term, condition or provision of the Merger Agreement may be waived
in writing at any time by the party which is, or whose stockholders are,
entitled to the benefits thereof. The Merger Agreement may be amended by or on
behalf of the Boards of Directors of MBI and TCB at any time before or after
approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of TCB; provided that after
any such approval by the stockholders of TCB no such modification may alter or
change the amount or kind of consideration to be received by holders of TCB
Common Stock in the Merger. See "CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
MERGER."
Accounting Treatment
It is intended that the Merger be accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting. It is a condition to the Merger that
the Pooling Letter shall have been received and shall not have been withdrawn.
See "--Conditions of the Merger." MBI and TCB have agreed to use their best
efforts to cause the Merger to qualify for pooling-of-interest accounting
treatment.
Under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting, the historical
basis of the assets and liabilities of MBI and TCB will be combined at the
Effective Time and carried forward at their previously recorded amounts, and the
stockholders' equity accounts of MBI and TCB will be combined on MBI's
35
<PAGE>
consolidated balance sheet and no goodwill or other intangible assets will be
created. Financial statements of MBI issued after the Effective Time will be
restated retroactively to reflect the consolidated operations of MBI and TCB as
if the Merger had taken place prior to the periods covered by such financial
statements. See "SUMMARY INFORMATION -- Comparative Unaudited Per Share Data,"
"SUMMARY INFORMATION -- Summary Financial Data," "-- Conditions of the Merger,"
and "PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION."
Management and Operations After the Merger
Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of MBI, will be the surviving
corporation resulting from the Merger. Merger Sub will be governed by the laws
of the state of Arkansas and will operate in accordance with the articles of
incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the
Merger, until otherwise amended or repealed after the Effective Time.
MBI has agreed to propose Mr. Frank Lyon, Jr., Chairman of TCB, for
election to the Board of Directors of MBI. MBI has also agreed to employ Mr.
T.E. Renaud for a period of two years following the Effective Time in the
following capacity: for the first such year, as Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of The Twin City Bank, and, for the second such year, as Chairman of The
Twin City Bank.
Employee Benefits
Employee Agreements and Benefits. Following the Effective Time, TCB's
employees will receive employee benefits that are substantially the same as
benefits from time to time provided to MBI's similarly situated employees under
its employee plans and policies. The service with TCB or TCB's subsidiaries of
the employees of TCB or TCB's subsidiaries will be recognized for purposes of
vesting and eligibility for participation in MBI's employee benefit plans
generally made available to the other employees of MBI and MBI's subsidiaries,
except such service will not be recognized for purposes of benefit accrued under
any defined benefit plan of MBI.
Indemnification. In the Merger Agreement, MBI agreed that the Merger
will not affect or diminish any of TCB's duties and obligations of
indemnification existing as of the Effective Time in favor of employees, agents,
directors or officers of TCB or its subsidiaries arising by virtue of its
articles of incorporation or bylaws in the form in effect on December 2, 1994,
36
<PAGE>
or arising by law or by virtue of any contract, resolution or other agreement or
document existing on December 2, 1994, and such duties and obligations will
continue in full force and effect for so long as they would (but for the Merger)
otherwise survive.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER
The following discussion summarizes the material federal income tax
consequences of the Merger. The discussion does not address all aspects of
federal taxation that may be relevant to particular TCB stockholders, and it may
not be applicable to stockholders who are not citizens or residents of the
United States, or who acquired their TCB Capital Stock pursuant to the exercise
of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. The discussion does not
address the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws or any
federal tax laws other than those pertaining to the income tax. Each TCB
stockholder should consult his or her own tax advisor as to the particular tax
consequences to him or her of the Merger.
This discussion is based on the Code, regulations and rulings now in
effect or proposed thereunder, current administrative rulings and practice, and
judicial precedent, all of which are subject to change. Any such change, which
may or may not be retroactive, could alter the tax consequences to TCB
stockholders discussed herein. This discussion is also based on certain
assumptions regarding the factual circumstances that will exist at the Effective
Time, including certain representations to be made by TCB and MBI. This
discussion assumes that TCB stockholders hold their TCB Common Stock as a
capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.
MBI has received an opinion from Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz,
special counsel to MBI, and TCB has received an opinion from the Rose Law Firm,
special counsel to TCB, that, assuming the Merger occurs in accordance with the
Merger Agreement, and conditioned on the accuracy of certain representations
made by MBI and TCB, the material federal income tax consequences expected to
result from the Merger, under currently applicable law, are as follows:
(i) The Merger will constitute a "reorganization" for federal income
tax purposes under Section 368(a) of the Code.
(ii) No gain or loss will be recognized by TCB or MBI as a result of
the Merger.
37
<PAGE>
(iii) TCB stockholders will recognize no gain or loss as a result of
the exchange of their TCB Capital Stock solely for shares of MBI Capital
Stock pursuant to the Merger, except with respect to cash received in lieu
of fractional shares, if any, as discussed below.
(iv) A holder of shares of TCB Common Stock who receives cash in the
Merger in lieu of a fractional share interest of MBI Common Stock will be
treated as if the fractional shares were received in the exchange and then
redeemed by MBI. A holder of shares of TCB Common Stock will be treated as
if the stockholder sold his or her fractional share of MBI Common Stock for
the amount of cash received and will therefore recognize gain (or loss) to
the extent that the amount of cash received exceeds (or is less than) the
tax basis of the fractional share. Such gain or loss will be capital gain
or loss if the shares of TCB Common Stock were held as capital assets and
will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of the shares
of TCB Common Stock so exchanged was more than one year.
(v) The aggregate adjusted tax basis of the MBI Capital Stock received
by a stockholder of TCB in the Merger, including for the purpose of (iv)
above the tax basis of any fractional share interest, will be equal to the
aggregate adjusted tax basis of the respective shares of TCB Capital Stock
surrendered.
(vi) The holding period of the shares of MBI Capital Stock received by
a stockholder of TCB in the Merger, including for purposes of (iv) above
the holding period of any fractional share interest, will include the
holding period of the respective shares of TCB Capital Stock exchanged
therefor.
An opinion of counsel, unlike a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue
Service (the "Service"), has no binding effect on the Service. The Service could
take a position contrary to counsel's opinion and, if the matter is litigated, a
court may reach a decision contrary to the opinion. The Service is not expected
to issue a ruling on the tax effects of the Merger, and no such ruling has been
requested.
THE FOREGOING IS A GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THE MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER AND IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. THE
FOREGOING DISCUSSION DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE PARTICULAR FACTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH STOCKHOLDER'S TAX STATUS AND ATTRIBUTES. AS A RESULT, THE
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES ADDRESSED IN THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION MAY NOT
38
<PAGE>
APPLY TO EACH STOCKHOLDER. IN VIEW OF THE INDIVIDUAL NATURE OF INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES, EACH STOCKHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR
REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO SUCH STOCKHOLDER,
INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS
AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN FEDERAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS OF TCB
Under Arkansas law, a holder of TCB Capital Stock may dissent from the
Merger and receive payment of the "fair value" of such shares if the Merger is
consummated by following certain procedures set forth in Section 4-27-1320 of
the Arkansas Act.
However, as set forth in "THE MERGER -- Support Agreements,"
Stockholders who own 100% of the TCB Capital Stock have each executed Support
Agreements pursuant to which each Stockholder agreed to vote all shares owned by
such Stockholder for approval of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, no
Stockholder will be entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection
with the Merger.
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Comparative Unaudited Per Share Data
The following table sets forth for the periods indicated selected

of accounting. The pro forma combined consolidated financial data is intended
for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the future
financial position or future results of operations of the combined company or of

Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion and analysis of TCB's financial
condition and results of operations. Selected data from TCB's consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto are contained elsewhere in this
Information Statement/Prospectus (see "TCBankshares, Inc. Consolidated Financial
Statements"). The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with such financial statements and notes thereto.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993
Results of Operations. Net income for the nine months ended September
30, 1994 was $11,711,000 compared to $11,446,000 for the same period in 1993.
The 2.31% increase is attributable to an increase in net interest income
resulting from continued growth in loans and deposits and a reduction in the
provision for loan losses as the level of nonperforming loans continues to
decline. The following commentary presents a more thorough analysis of the
results of operations and financial position for the first nine months of 1994.
59
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Liquidity management, which involves
the need to fund loan growth or declines in deposits, is an important aspect of
TCB's operations. The principal sources of funds which provide liquidity for TCB
are customer deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, maturities and
sales of investment securities, and earnings. Other sources of liquidity include
federal funds purchased and short-term borrowings. A substantial portion of the
interest-bearing and non interest-bearing liabilities is stable core deposits
attributable to customer relationships developed over the operating history of
TCB.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 was $17,475,000. Net income of $11,711,000 primarily
contributed to the net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash used for
investing activities was $145,937,000. Loans increased by $105,088,000 and
investment securities totaling $296,708,000 were purchased. This use of funds
was largely offset by $255,198,000 in proceeds from the maturities and sales of
securities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $130,395,000. Net
increases in deposits of $63,889,000 and other borrowings of $50,771,000
accounted for the cash provided by financing activities.
TCB's capital level remains high when compared to regulatory minimums
as illustrated in the table below (in thousands).

foreign depositors.
In January 1995 TCB borrowed $1.33 million on its revolving line of
credit to pay common stock dividends. It is anticipated that this additional
borrowing will be repaid by mid-1995 through the payment of dividends by
subsidiary banks to TCB.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for first nine months of 1994
increased primarily as a result of a 16.26% increase in earning assets. For the
first nine months of 1994, interest income increased $5,100,000 or 8.73% and
interest expense increased $2,998,000 or 11.98% from the same period in 1993,
resulting in a net interest income increase of $2,102,000 or 6.30%.
The following table presents the increase (decrease) in levels of
interest income and interest expense resulting from variances in volume and
interest rates.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses. Management evaluates the loan
portfolio and reserves of the subsidiary banks at least quarterly to ensure the
accurate and timely accounting for problem loans and to ensure the adequacy of
the banks' reserve for possible loan losses. Management believes the reserve for
possible loan losses as of September 30, 1994 was adequate based on the risks
63
<PAGE>
identified at that date and has been computed in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. The reserve balance at September 30, 1994
represents 1.24% of the total loans outstanding compared to 1.50% at September
30, 1993. This reduction is primarily due to the decline in the level of
nonperforming assets.
The table below illustrates the level of nonperforming assets and
reserves as a percentage of ending assets at September 30 (dollars in
thousands).

Reserves for possible loan losses $8,203 0.60% $8,023 .68%
Reserves/nonperforming assets 170.26% 114.48%
Nonaccrual loans were $1,884,000 at September 30, 1994. Loans past due
over 89 days and still accruing interest were $2,552,000 at September 30, 1994.
All such loans are domestic.
It is TCB's policy to continually monitor its loan portfolio and to
discontinue the accrual of interest on any loan in which payment of principal or
interest in a timely manner in the normal course of business is doubtful.
Interest on nonaccrual loans at September 30, 1994, which would have been
recorded under the original terms of the loans or the amounts subsequently
received is not readily available; however, the amounts are not material.
Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows (dollars in

At September 30, 1994, management of TCB concluded that the allowance
for possible loan losses was adequate.
At December 31, 1994, given the significant growth in loans in 1994
and other factors, TCB made a provision to the reserve for loan losses of
approximately $2.9 million, increasing the reserve to approximately 1.5% of
total loans.
Loan Portfolio. Components of loans are as follows (in thousands):
September 30

Commercial, financial and agricultural $156,504 $140,032
Real estate construction 120,426 96,827

Installment and consumer, net of earned discount 200,042 126,958

Total loans $659,050 $536,149
======== ========
TCB does not have any foreign loans. Also, TCB does not have a
concentration of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not otherwise
disclosed in the portfolio composition table.
Commercial loans are both fixed and variable rate, made to established
business concerns in the local business area and supported by satisfactory
financial statements. Commercial loans are generally well secured or guaranteed
by principals of substantial worth and experience. Each of the subsidiary banks'
credit policy limits commercial loans secured by real estate to 80% of the value
of the related collateral. These loans are either owner occupied or there is an
assignment of the lease or rent agreement. Each of the subsidiary banks requires
evidence of insurance, and escrows for taxes for such loans. All loans in excess
of certain amounts are required to have an approved appraisal that is consistent
with regulatory guidelines.
Real estate mortgage loans are balanced between fixed and adjustable
rate first mortgage loans and variable rate home equity loans with an 80%
maximum loan to appraised value ratio and proper lien or mortgage filings. TCB
also requires current appraisals and evidence of insurance.
TCB's consumer loan portfolio has increased significantly in the last
two years. This increase is primarily a result of TCB targeting the indirect
automobile lending area and significantly increasing the number of automobile
65
<PAGE>
dealers through which TCB is offering loans. TCB requires dealer reserves and at
least a 90% loan to value ratio in originating indirect consumer loans.

The investment portfolio is a source of interest income and is used to meet
liquidity needs and to collateralize public funds.

Effective October 1, 1994, TCB transferred securities with a net book value of

<PAGE>
portfolio. Unrealized depreciation of approximately $8,766,000 is included in
equity related to the decline in market value of these securities and will be
amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment. After
this transfer, TCB continues to maintain over $108,000,000 in available-for-sale
securities for possible liquidity needs.

There was no single issuer of securities in the investment portfolio
at September 30, 1994, other than the U.S. Government, its agencies and
corporations, for which the aggregate amortized cost exceeded ten percent of
total stockholders' equity.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased to $9,718,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared to $8,321,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1993. The increase was primarily due to the 12.17% increase
in service charges on deposits accounts resulting from the growth of deposits,
and a $461,000 increase in gains on the sale of other real estate resulting
primarily from the sale of one property in the first quarter of 1994.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased to $28,495,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1994 compared to $25,090,000 for the same
period in 1993. The 13.57% increase is attributable to the continued growth of
TCB. Additions to bank premises of $3.5 million during the first nine months of
1994 and $8.2 million during all of 1993 have resulted in a $752,000 increase in
net occupancy and equipment expense. Salaries and benefits increased $1,943,000
to $13,303,000 for the first nine months of 1994 compared to the first nine
months of 1993 due to normal salary adjustments and an increase in the number of
employees due to the internal growth of TCB.
During the fourth quarter of 1994, TCB recorded noninterest expense of
approximately $4,200,000 relating to merger-related expense accruals and entries
67
<PAGE>
to conform TCB's accounting policies to those of Mercantile.

Years Ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991
Results of Operations. For each of the last three years TCB has
reported consolidated net income from operations; $15,189,000 in 1993,
$13,398,000 in 1992, and $9,288,000 in 1991. The increase in net income is
attributable to TCB's growth in loans and deposits, improving asset quality, and
a favorable interest rate environment. The following commentary presents a more
thorough analysis of the results of operations and financial position for the
previous three years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. TCB has focused on its liquidity
position in 1993 and 1992 by increasing core deposits, establishing
correspondent banking relationships, and maintaining significant levels of
short-term investment securities. The ratio of net loans to deposits at December
31, 1993 was 51.77% and 47.23% at December 31, 1992.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 1993 was $15,482,000
primarily resulting from TCB's net income of $15,189,000. Net cash used in
investing activities was $130,446,000 in 1993. Loans increased by $93,832,000
and investment securities totaling $240,032,000 were purchased in 1993. These
uses of funds were largely offset by $207,358,000 in proceeds from the
maturities and sales of securities. Net cash provided by financing activities
was $113,977,000 which resulted from the net increase in deposits of
$104,798,000 in 1993.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 1992 was $5,888,000
composed primarily of TCB's net income of $13,398,000 offset by decreases in
liabilities and origination of mortgage loans held for sale. Net cash used in
investing activities was $186,533,000 in 1992. During 1992, loans increased by
$51,746,000 and investment securities totaling $150,838,000 (net of sales and
68
<PAGE>
maturities) were purchased. Net cash provided by financing activities in 1992 of
$198,398,000 primarily resulted from a $201,563,000 increase in deposits.

minimums as illustrated in the table below (dollars in thousands):

Net Interest Income. Net interest income (FTE) is the difference
between interest income generated on earning assets and interest expense paid on
deposits and borrowings. The net interest income for TCB increased by $4,401,000
from 1992 to 1993 and by $9,565,000 from 1991 to 1992.
The increases in net interest income occurred in a generally falling
interest rate environment which benefited TCB due to its liability sensitive
position. In addition, the loan portfolio grew by $98,810,000 in 1993
contributing to the increase. The net interest margin (FTE) decreased to 4.46%
for 1993 as compared to 4.78% for 1992 and 4.35% in 1991. The decline in 1993 is
primarily attributable to a decline in the yield on TCB's mortgage-backed
investment securities, due to an accelerated level of prepayments.
The following table portrays the increase (decrease) in levels of
interest income and interest expense resulting from variances in volume and
interest rates.

Nonaccrual loans were $2.2 million, $4.8 million, and $7.1 million at
December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively. Loans past due over 89 days and
still accruing interest were $2.4 million, $0.6 million, and $1.2 million at
December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
It is TCB's policy to continually monitor its loan portfolio and to
discontinue the accrual of interest on any loan in which payment of principal or
interest in a timely manner in the normal course of business is doubtful.
Subsequently, interest income is recognized as received. Interest on nonaccrual
loans which would have been recorded under the original terms of the loans less
interest actually recorded was $118,000 in 1993, $367,000 in 1992, and $359,000
in 1991.

There was no single issuer of securities in the investment portfolio
at December 31, 1993, other than the U.S. Government, its agencies and
corporations, for which the aggregate amortized cost exceeded ten percent of
total stockholders' equity.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased to $11,534,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1993 compared to $10,238,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1992. The increase was primarily due to a $667,000 increase in
service charges on deposit accounts as deposits continued to grow and a $562,000
increase in gains on the sale of mortgage loans on the secondary market.
Noninterest income increased to $10,238,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1992 compared to $7,923,000 for the year ended December 31, 1991.
The increase was attributable to a $2,066,000 increase in investment security
gains. Service charges on deposit accounts also increased by $335,000 due to
higher levels of deposits.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased to $35,038,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1993 compared to $31,240,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1992. The increase was the result of increases of $2,134,000,
$766,000, and $273,000 in compensation expense, occupancy expense, and FDIC
assessments, respectively. All these amounts increased due to the growth
experienced by TCB. Merchandising expense also increased $451,000 as TCB
continued to market itself aggressively in its primary markets, contributing to
its growth and success.
Noninterest expense increased to $31,240,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1992 compared to $25,740,000 for the year ended December 31, 1991.
The increase resulted from increases of $2,546,000, $560,000, and $397,000 in
compensation expense, occupancy expense, and FDIC assessments, respectively, due
to the growth of TCB in size, locations, and employees. Extensive marketing,
which contributed to this growth, resulted in a $452,000 increase in
merchandising expense.

INFORMATION REGARDING MBI STOCK
Description of MBI Common Stock and Attached Preferred Share Purchase Rights
General. MBI has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no
par value ("Preferred Stock"), and 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value
$5.00 per share. At November 30, 1994, MBI had no issued or outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock and 43,290,784 shares of MBI Common Stock issued and
outstanding. Under Missouri law, MBI's Board of Directors may generally approve
the issuance of authorized shares of Preferred Stock and MBI Common Stock
without stockholder approval.
MBI's Board of Directors is also authorized to fix the number of
shares and determine the designation of any series of Preferred Stock and to
determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted
to or imposed upon any series of Prefrred Stock. MBI's Board of Directors has
designated and reserved Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock pursuant
to MBI's Preferred Share Purchase Rights Plan described below. In connection
with the Merger, it is contemplated that MBI's Board of Directors will designate
the MBI Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the MBI Series B-2 Preferred Stock.
The existence of a substantial number of unissued and unreserved
shares of MBI Common Stock and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock may enable
the MBI Board of Directors to issue shares to such persons and in such manner as
may be deemed to have an antitakeover effect.
Dividends. The holders of the MBI Common Stock are entitled to share
ratably in dividends when, as and if declared by the MBI Board of Directors from
funds legally available therefor, after full cumulative dividends have been paid
or declared, and funds sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, on all
series of Preferred Stock ranking superior as to dividends to the MBI Common
Stock.
The Board of Directors of MBI intends to maintain its present policy
of paying quarterly cash dividends on the MBI Common Stock, when justified by
the financial condition of MBI and its subsidiaries. The declaration and amount
of future dividends will depend on circumstances existing at the time, including
MBI's earnings, financial condition and capital requirements as well as
regulatory limitations, note and indenture provisions and such other factors as
the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The payment of dividends to MBI by
-78-
<PAGE>
subsidiary banks is subject to extensive regulation by various state and federal
regulatory agencies. See "SUPERVISION AND REGULATION."
Voting Rights. Each holder of MBI Common Stock has one vote for each
share held on matters presented for consideration by the shareholders, except
that, in the election of directors, such shareholders presently have cumulative
voting rights which entitle each such shareholder to the number of votes which
equals the number of shares held by the shareholder multiplied by the number of
directors to be elected. All such cumulative votes may be cast for one candidate
for election as a director or may be distributed among two or more candidates.
Preemptive Rights. The holders of MBI Common Stock have no preemptive
right to acquire any additional unissued shares or treasury shares of MBI.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of MBI, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of MBI Common
Stock will be entitled to share ratably in any of its assets or funds that are
available for distribution to its stockholders after the satisfaction of its
liabilities (or after adequate provision is made therefor) and after preferences
on any outstanding Preferred Stock.
Assessment and Redemption. Shares of MBI Common Stock issuable in the
Merger will be, when issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Such shares do not
have any redemption provisions.
Preferred Share Purchase Rights Plan. One preferred share purchase
right (a "Right") is attached to each share of MBI Common Stock. The Rights
trade automatically with shares of MBI Common Stock, and become exercisable and
will trade separately from the MBI Common Stock on the 10th day after public
announcement, or notice to MBI, that a person or group has acquired, or has the
right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares
of MBI Common Stock, or upon commencement or announcement, or notice to MBI, of
intent to make a tender offer for 20% or more of the outstanding shares of MBI
Common Stock, in either case without prior written consent of the Board of
Directors. When exercisable, each Right will entitle the holder to buy 1/100 of
a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of
$100 per Right. In the event a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of
20% or more of MBI Common Stock, holders of Rights (other than the acquiring
person or group) may purchase MBI Common Stock having a market value of twice
the then current exercise price of each Right. If MBI is acquired by any person
-79-
<PAGE>
or group after the Rights become exercisable, each Right will entitle its holder
to purchase stock of the acquiring company having a market value of twice the
current exercise price of each Right. The Rights are designed to protect the
interests of MBI and its stockholders against coercive takeover tactics. The
purpose of the Rights is to encourage potential acquirors to negotiate with
MBI's Board of Directors prior to attempting a takeover and to give the Board
leverage in negotiating on behalf of all stockholders the terms of any proposed
takeover. The Rights may deter certain takeover proposals. The Rights, which can
be redeemed by MBI's Board of Directors in certain circumstances, expire by
their terms on June 3, 1998.
Classification of Board of Directors. The Board of Directors of MBI is
divided into three classes, and the directors are elected by classes to
three-year terms, so that one of the three classes of the directors of MBI will
be elected at each annual meeting of the stockholders. While this provision
promotes stability and continuity of the Board of Directors, classification of
the Board of Directors may also have the effect of decreasing the number of
directors that could otherwise be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders
by a person who obtains a controlling interest in the MBI Common Stock and
thereby could impede a change in control of MBI. Because fewer directors will be
elected at each annual meeting, such classification also will reduce the
effectiveness of cumulative voting as a means of establishing or increasing
minority representation on the Board of Directors.
Other Matters. MBI's Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws
also contain provisions which: (i) require the affirmative vote of holders of at
least 75% of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of MBI entitled
to vote in the election of directors to remove a director or directors without
cause; (ii) require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the
voting power of all shares of the outstanding capital stock of MBI to approve
certain "business combinations" with "interested parties" unless at least
two-thirds of the Board of Directors first approve such business combinations;
and (iii) require an affirmative vote of at least 75% of the voting power of all
shares of the outstanding capital stock of MBI for the amendment, alteration,
change or repeal of any of the above provisions unless at least two-thirds of
the Board of Directors first approve such an amendment, alteration, change or
repeal. MBI's Articles of Incorporation also requires the Board of Directors, in
considering any business combination, to give due consideration to all factors
that the Board of Directors may consider relevant, including the effects of
-80-
<PAGE>
the proposed transaction on the depositors and customers of MBI and its
subsidiaries, on their communities and geographic areas and on any of their
businesses and properties; and the adequacy of the consideration offered in the
proposed transaction in relation to the current market price of MBI's
outstanding securities and to the value of MBI in a freely negotiated
transaction and the Board's estimate of the future value of MBI. Such provisions
may be deemed to have an antitakeover effect.
Restrictions on Resale of MBI Capital Stock by Affiliates; Affiliate Agreements
MBI Common Stock. Under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, all
Stockholders, by virtue of being "affiliates" of TCB, will be limited in their
right to resell the stock so received in the Merger. Stockholders who desire to
resell the MBI Common Stock so received must sell such stock either pursuant to
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance
with an applicable exemption. In addition, Stockholders who become "affiliates"
of MBI following the Merger will be limited in their right to resell the MBI
Common Stock received in the Merger.
Rule 145(d) provides that persons deemed to be affiliates of a company
such as MBI solely by virtue of having been affiliates of a company such as TCB
prior to a transaction such as the Merger may resell their stock pursuant to
certain of the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act if such stock
is sold within the first two years after the receipt thereof. After two years if
such person is not an affiliate of MBI and if MBI is current with respect to its
required public filings, a former affiliate of TCB may freely resell the stock
received in the Merger without limitation. After three years from the issuance
of the stock, if such person is not an affiliate of MBI at the time of sale and
for at least three months prior to such sale, such person may freely resell such
stock, without limitation, regardless of the status of MBI's required public
filings.
The shares of MBI Common Stock to be received by affiliates of TCB in
the Merger will be legended as to the restrictions imposed upon resale of such
stock.
MBI Preferred Stock. The MBI Preferred Stock received by Mr. Lyon
pursuant to the Merger is being issued by MBI pursuant to "transactions by an
issuer not involving any public offering" within the meaning of Section 4(2) of
-81-
<PAGE>
the Securities Act. As such, the MBI Preferred Stock is unregistered stock and
may only be sold, unless subsequently registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, pursuant to an applicable
exemption, such as Section 4(2), under the Securities Act. The shares of MBI
Preferred Stock to be received by Mr. Lyon in the Merger will be legended as to
the restrictions imposed upon resale of such stock.
Comparison of the Rights of Stockholders of MBI and TCB
MBI is incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri. TCB is
organized under the laws of the State of Arkansas. The rights of MBI's
stockholders are governed by MBI's Restated Articles of Incorporation and
By-Laws and The General and Business Corporation Law of the State of Missouri
(the "Missouri Act"). The rights of TCB's stockholders are governed by TCB's
Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and by the Arkansas Act. The rights of TCB
stockholders who receive shares of MBI Capital Stock in the Merger will
thereafter be governed by MBI's Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws
and by the Missouri Act. The material rights of such stockholders, and, where
applicable, material differences between the rights of MBI stockholders and TCB
stockholders, are summarized below.
Preferred Share Purchase Rights Plan. As described above under "--
Description of MBI Common Stock and Attached Preferred Share Purchase Rights,"
MBI Common Stock has attached Rights, which may deter certain takeover
proposals. TCB does not have a rights plan.
Supermajority Provisions. MBI's Restated Articles of Incorporation and
MBI's By-Laws contain provisions requiring a supermajority vote of the
stockholders of MBI to approve certain proposals. Under both MBI's Restated
Articles and By-Laws, removal by the stockholders of the entire Board of
Directors or any individual director from office without cause requires the
affirmative vote of not less than 75% of the total votes entitled to be voted at
a meeting of stockholders called for the election of directors. Amendment by the
stockholders of MBI's Restated Articles or By-Laws relating to (i) the number or
qualification of directors; (ii) the classification of the Board of Directors;
(iii) the filling of vacancies on the Board of Directors; or (iv) the removal of
directors, requires the affirmative vote of not less than 75% of the total votes
of MBI's then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote, voting together as a
single class, unless such amendment has previously been expressly approved by at
least 66-2/3% of the Board of Directors. The MBI Restated Articles of
-82-
<PAGE>
Incorporation also provides that, in addition to any stockholder vote required
under Missouri law, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 75% of
the total votes to which all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of
MBI are entitled, voting together as a single class (the "Voting Stock"), shall
be required for the approval of any Business Combination. A "Business
Combination" is defined generally to include sales, exchanges, leases, transfers
or other dispositions of assets, mergers or consolidations, issuances of
securities, liquidations or dissolutions of MBI, reclassifications of securities
or recapitalizations of MBI, involving MBI on the one hand, and an Interested
Shareholder or an affiliate of an Interested Shareholder on the other hand. An
"Interested Shareholder" is defined generally to include any person, firm,
corporation or other entity which is the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the
voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock. If, however, at least 66-2/3% of
the Board of Directors of MBI approve the Business Combination, such Business
Combination shall require only the vote of stockholders as provided by Missouri
law or otherwise. The amendment of the provisions of MBI's Restated Articles
relating to the approval of Business Combinations requires the affirmative vote
of the holders of at least 75% of the Voting Stock unless such amendment has
previously been approved by at least 66-2/3% of the Board of Directors.
TCB's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws do not require
supermajority approval by stockholders of any corporate actions.
Classified Board. As described under "-- Description of MBI Common
Stock and Attached Preferred Share Purchase Rights -- Classification of Board of
Directors," the Board of Directors of MBI is divided into three classes of
directors, with each class being elected to a staggered three-year term. By
reducing the number of directors to be elected in any given year, the existence
of a classified Board of Directors diminishes the benefits of the cumulative
voting rights to minority stockholders. TCB's Board of Directors is not divided
into classes of directors.
Dissenters' Rights. Under both the Missouri Act and the Arkansas Act,
a stockholder of any corporation which is party to a merger or consolidation, or
which sells all or substantially all of its assets, has the right to dissent
from such corporate action and to demand payment of the fair value of such
shares. In addition, under the Arkansas Act, but not under the Missouri Act, a
stockholder of a corporation, which corporation is a party to a plan of share
exchange, has a right to dissent from such plan and demand payment of fair value
-83-
<PAGE>
for such stockholder's shares, if such stockholder is entitled to vote on such
plan.
Antitakeover Statutes. The Missouri Act contains certain provisions
applicable to Missouri corporations such as MBI which may be deemed to have an
antitakeover effect. Such provisions include Missouri's Business Combination
Statute and the Control Share Acquisition Statute.
The Missouri Business Act protects domestic corporations from hostile
takeover by prohibiting certain transactions once an acquiror has gained
control. The statute restricts certain "Business Combinations" between a
corporation and an "Interested Shareholder" or affiliates of the Interested
Shareholder for a period of five years unless certain conditions are met. A
"Business Combination" includes a merger or consolidation, certain sales, lease
exchanges, pledges and similar dispositions of corporate assets or stock and
certain reclassifications and recapitalizations. An "Interested Shareholder"
includes any person or entity which beneficially owns or controls 20% or more of
the outstanding voting shares of the corporation.
During the initial five-year restricted period, no Business
Combination may occur unless such Business Combination or the transaction in
which an Interested Shareholder becomes "interested" is approved by the board of
directors of the corporation. Business Combinations may occur during such
five-year period if (i) prior to the stock acquisition by the Interested
Shareholder, the board of directors approves the transaction in which the
Interested Shareholder became such or approves the Business Combination in
question; (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock, other
than stock owned by the Interested Shareholder, approve the Business
Combination; or (iii) the Business Combination satisfies certain detailed
fairness and procedural requirements.
The Missouri Act exempts from its provisions (i) corporations not
having a class of voting stock registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act;
(ii) corporations which adopt provisions in their articles of incorporation or
By-Laws expressly electing not to be covered by the statute; and (iii) certain
circumstances in which a stockholder inadvertently becomes an Interested
Shareholder. MBI's Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws do not "opt
out" of the Missouri Business Combination Statute.
The Missouri Act also contains a "Control Share Acquisition Statute"
which provides that an "Acquiring Person" who after any acquisition of shares of
-84-
<PAGE>
a publicly traded corporation has the voting power, when added to all shares of
the same corporation previously owned or controlled by the Acquiring Person, to
exercise or direct the exercise of: (i) 20% but less than 33 1/3%, (ii) 33 1/3%
or more but less than a majority or (iii) a majority, of the voting power of
outstanding stock of such corporation must obtain stockholder approval for the
purchase of the "Control Shares." If approval is not given, the Acquiring
Person's shares lose the right to vote. The statute prohibits an Acquiring
Person from voting its shares unless certain disclosure requirements are met and
the retention or restoration of voting rights is approved by both: (i) a
majority of the outstanding voting stock, and (ii) a majority of the outstanding
voting stock after exclusion of "Interested Shares." Interested Shares are
defined as shares owned by the Acquiring Person, by directors who are also
employees, and by officers of the corporation. Stockholders are given
dissenters' rights with respect to the vote on Control Share Acquisitions and
may demand payment of the fair value of their shares.
A number of acquisitions of shares are deemed not to constitute
Control Share Acquisitions, including good faith gifts, transfers pursuant to
wills, purchases pursuant to an issuance by the corporation, mergers involving
the corporation which satisfy the other requirements of the Missouri Act,
transactions with a person who owned a majority of the voting power of the
corporation within the prior year, or purchases from a person who has previously
satisfied the provisions of the Control Share Acquisition Statute so long as the
transaction does not result in the purchasing party having voting power after
the purchase in a percentage range (as set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraph) beyond the range for which the selling party previously satisfied the
provisions of the statute. Additionally, a corporation may exempt itself from
application of the statute by inserting a provision in its articles of
incorporation or by-laws expressly electing not to be covered by the statute.
MBI's Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws do not "opt out" of the
Control Share Acquisition Statute.
The Arkansas Act does not include similar antitake-over statutes.
Size of Board of Directors. As permitted under the Missouri Act, the
number of directors on the Board of Directors of MBI is set forth in MBI's
By-Laws, which provide that the number of directors may be fixed from time to
time at not less than 12 nor more than 24 by an amendment of the By-Laws or by a
resolution of the Board of Directors, in either case, adopted by the vote or
-85-
<PAGE>
consent of at least 66-2/3% of the number of directors then authorized under the
By-Laws. Similar to the Missouri Act, the Arkansas Act provides that a
corporation may fix the number of directors in its by-laws. TCB's By-Laws
provide that the number of directors on the Board of Directors of TCB may be
fixed from time to time at not less than 3 nor more than 15 by resolution of the
Board of Directors. TCB's By-Laws, including the provision establishing the
number of members of TCB's Board of Directors, may be amended by the vote of the
holders of a majority of the TCB Common Stock or by the vote of a majority of
the members of the TCB Board of Directors.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
As a bank holding company, MBI is subject to regulation under the BHCA
and its examination and reporting requirements. Under the BHCA, a bank holding
company may not directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more
than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any company,
including a bank or savings and loan association, without the prior approval of
(or, in the case of certain non-bank companies, prior notice to) the Federal
Reserve Board. In addition, bank holding companies are generally prohibited
under the BHCA from engaging in nonbanking activities, subject to certain
exceptions.
MBI and its subsidiaries are subject to supervision and examination by
applicable federal and state banking agencies. The earnings of MBI's
subsidiaries, and therefore the earnings of MBI, are affected by general
economic conditions, management policies and the legislative and governmental
actions of various regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board
and the Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller"). In addition, there are
numerous governmental requirements and regulations that affect the activities of
MBI and its subsidiaries.
Certain Transactions with Affiliates
There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which a bank
holding company such as MBI and its nonbank subsidiaries can engage in certain
transactions, including borrowing or otherwise obtaining credit from its bank
subsidiaries. In general, these restrictions require that any such extensions of
credit must be on non-preferential terms and secured by designated amounts of
specified collateral and be limited, as to any one of the holding company or
-86-
<PAGE>
such nonbank subsidiaries, to 10% of the lending bank's capital stock and
surplus, and as to the holding company and all such nonbank subsidiaries in the
aggregate, to 20% of such bank's capital stock and surplus. See "-- Recent
Legislation."
Payment of Dividends
MBI is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and other
subsidiaries. The principal source of MBI's revenues is dividends from its
national and state banking subsidiaries. Various federal and state statutory
provisions limit the amount of dividends the affiliate banks can pay to MBI
without regulatory approval. The approval of the appropriate bank regulator is
generally required for any dividend by a national bank or state member bank if
the total of all dividends declared by the bank in any calendar year would
exceed the total of its net profits, as defined by regulatory authorities, for
such year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. In
addition, a national bank or a state member bank generally may not pay a
dividend in an amount greater than its net profits then on hand. The payment of
dividends by any affiliate bank may also be affected by other factors, such as
the maintenance of adequate capital for such affiliate bank.
Capital Adequacy
The Federal Reserve Board has issued standards for measuring capital
adequacy for bank holding companies. These standards are designed to provide
risk-responsive capital guidelines and to incorporate a consistent framework for
use by financial institutions operating in major international financial
markets. The banking regulators have issued standards for banks that are similar
but not identical to the standards for bank holding companies.
In general, the risk-related standards require banks and bank holding
companies to maintain capital based on "risk adjusted" assets so that categories
of assets with potentially higher credit risk will require more capital backing
than categories with lower credit risk. In addition, banks and bank holding
companies are required to maintain capital to support off-balance sheet
activities such as loan commitments.
The standards classify total capital for this risk-based measure into
two tiers referred to as Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 capital consists of common
stockholders' equity, certain noncumulative and cumulative perpetual preferred
-87-
<PAGE>
stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries;
Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses (within
certain limits), perpetual preferred stock not included in Tier 1, hybrid
capital instruments, term subordinated debt, and intermediate-term preferred
stock. By December 31, 1992, bank holding companies were required to meet a
minimum ratio of 8% of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets, and a
minimum ratio of 4% of qualifying Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets.
Capital that qualifies as Tier 2 capital is limited in amount to 100% of Tier 1
capital in testing compliance with the total risk-based capital minimum
standards. See "-- Recent Legislation."
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum
leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide
for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average total assets (the
"leverage ratio") of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain specified
criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. Other bank holding
companies generally are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 3%
plus 100 to 200 basis points. The guidelines also provide that bank holding
companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected
to maintain strong capital positions substantially above minimum supervisory
levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the
Federal Reserve Board has indicated that it may consider other indicia of
capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.
Support of Subsidiary Banks
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, MBI is expected to act as a source
of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support
each of the subsidiaries in circumstances where it might not choose to do so
absent such a policy. In addition, any capital loans by MBI to any of its
subsidiaries would also be subordinate in right of payment to deposits and
certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary. This support may be required at
times when MBI may not find itself able to provide it.
Consistent with this policy regarding bank holding companies serving
as a source of financial strength for their subsidiary banks, the Federal
Reserve Board has stated that, as a matter of prudent banking, a bank holding
company generally should not maintain a rate of cash dividends unless its net
income available to common stockholders has been sufficient to fully fund the
dividends, and the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent
-88-
<PAGE>
with the bank holding company's capital needs, asset quality and overall
financial condition.
Recent Legislation
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989 ("FIRREA") contains a "cross-guarantee" provision which could result in
insured depository institutions owned by MBI being assessed for losses incurred
by the FDIC in connection with assistance provided to, or the failure of, any
other insured depository institution owned by MBI. Under FIRREA, failure to meet
the capital guidelines could subject a banking institution to a variety of
enforcement remedies available to federal regulatory authorities, including the
termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") made extensive changes to the federal banking laws, some of which
have delayed effective dates or require implementing regulations. FDICIA
instituted certain changes to the supervisory process, including provisions that
mandate certain regulatory agency actions against undercapitalized institutions
within specified time limits, and contain various provisions that may affect the
operations of banks and savings institutions.
The prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA require the federal
banking regulators to assign each insured institution to one of five capital
categories ("well capitalized," "adequately capitalized" or one of three
"undercapitalized" categories) and to take progressively more restrictive
actions as specified below. Under FDICIA, capital requirements would include a
leverage limit, a risk-based capital requirement and any other measure of
capital deemed appropriate by the federal banking regulators for measuring the
capital adequacy of an insured depository institution. All institutions,
regardless of their capital levels, are restricted from making any capital
distribution or paying any management fees that would cause the institution to
fail to satisfy the minimum levels for any relevant capital measure. An
institution that fails to meet the minimum level for any relevant capital
measure (an "undercapitalized institution") shall be: (i) subject to increased
monitoring by the appropriate federal banking regulator; (ii) required to submit
an acceptable capital restoration plan within 45 days after the institution
becomes undercapitalized; (iii) subject to asset growth limits; and (iv)
required to obtain prior regulatory approval for acquisitions, branching and new
lines of businesses. The capital restoration plan must include a guarantee by
-89-
<PAGE>
the institution's holding company (under which the holding company would be
liable up to the lesser of 5% of the institution's total assets at the time the
institution became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to bring the
institution into capital compliance as of the date it failed to comply with its
capital restoration plan) that the institution will comply with the plan until
it has been adequately capitalized on average for four consecutive quarters.
The bank regulatory agencies have discretionary authority to
reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized or to impose
on an adequately capitalized institution requirements or actions specified for
undercapitalized institutions if the agency determines after notice and an
opportunity for hearing that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound
condition or is engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice, which can consist of
the receipt of an unsatisfactory examination rating if the deficiencies cited
are not corrected. A significantly undercapitalized institution, as well as any
undercapitalized institution that did not submit or implement an acceptable
capital restoration plan, may be subject to regulatory demands for
recapitalization, broader application of restrictions on transactions with
affiliates, limitations on interest rates paid on deposits, restrictions on
asset growth and other activities, possible replacement of directors and
officers, and restrictions on capital distributions by any bank holding company
controlling the institution. Any company controlling the institution could also
be required to divest the institution or the institution could be required to
divest subsidiaries. The senior executive officers of a significantly
undercapitalized institution may not receive bonuses or increases in
compensation without prior approval and a critically undercapitalized
institution is prohibited from making payments of principal or interest on its
debt that is subordinated to claims of general creditors. If an institution's
ratio of tangible equity to total assets falls below a level established by the
appropriate federal banking regulator, which may not be less than 2% of total
assets nor more than 65% of the minimum tangible equity level otherwise required
(the "critical capital level"), the institution will be subject to
conservatorship or receivership within 90 days unless periodic determinations
are made that forbearance from such action would better protect the deposit
insurance fund. Unless appropriate findings and certifications are made to the
appropriate federal bank regulatory agencies, a critically undercapitalized
institution must be placed in receivership if it remains critically
undercapitalized on average during the calendar quarter beginning 270 days after
the date it became critically undercapitalized.
-90-
<PAGE>
The FDIC, the Comptroller and the Federal Reserve Board have adopted
capital-related regulations under FDICIA. Under those regulations, a bank will
be deemed well capitalized if it: (a) has a risk-based capital ratio of 10% or
greater; (b) has a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 6% or
greater; (c) has a ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of 5% or
greater; and (d) is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital
directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific
capital level for any capital measure. An association will be deemed adequately
capitalized if it was not "well-capitalized" and: (a) has a risk-based capital
ratio of 8% or greater; (b) has a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted
assets of 4% or greater; and (c) has a ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total
assets of 4% or greater (except that certain associations rated "composite 1"
under the federal banking agencies' CAMEL rating system may be adequately
capitalized if their ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets were 3% or
greater). An institution that does not meet one or more of the "adequately
capitalized" tests is deemed to be "undercapitalized." If the institution has a
total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio that is less than 3%, or a leverage ratio that is less than 3%, the
institution is deemed to be "significantly undercapitalized." An institution is
deemed to be "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity
(as defined in the OCC's regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less
than 2%.
The federal bank regulatory agencies have issued various proposals to
amend the risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies.
Under one proposal, a bank would be required to give explicit consideration to
interest rate risk as an element of capital adequacy by maintaining capital to
compensate for such risk in an amount measured by such bank's exposure to
interest rate risk in excess of a regulatory threshold. Another proposal would
revise the treatment given to (i) low-level recourse arrangements to reduce the
amount of capital required and (ii) certain direct credit substitutes provided
by banking organizations to require that capital be maintained against the value
of the assets enhanced or the loans protected. A proposal recently issued by the
Federal Reserve Board and expected to be joined in by the other bank regulatory
agencies increases the amount of capital required to be carried against certain
long-term derivative contracts; in addition, the proposal recognizes the effect
of certain bilateral netting arrangements in reducing potential future exposure
under these contracts.
-91-
<PAGE>
The FDIC has adopted final regulations under FDICIA governing the
receipt of brokered deposits. Under these regulations, a bank cannot accept
brokered deposits unless (i) it is "well capitalized" or (ii) it is "adequately
capitalized" and receives a waiver from the FDIC. In addition, banks that accept
brokered deposits pursuant to such waivers (as well as banks in conservatorship)
may not pay interest on such deposits in excess of 75 basis points over
prevailing market rates. A bank that cannot receive brokered deposits also
cannot offer "pass-through" insurance on certain employee benefit accounts.
There are no such restrictions on a bank that is "well capitalized."
The FDIC, pursuant to the directive of FDICIA, has adopted a
risk-based premium schedule. Under this schedule, the annual premiums initially
range from $0.23 to $0.31 for every $100 of deposits. Each financial institution
is assigned to one of three capital groups -- well capitalized, adequately
capitalized or undercapitalized -- and further assigned to one of three
subgroups within a capital group, on the basis of supervisory evaluations by the
institution's primary federal and, if applicable, state supervisors and on the
basis of other information relevant to the institution's financial conditions
and the risk posed to the applicable insurance fund. The actual assessment rate
applicable to a particular institution will, therefore, depend in part upon the
risk assessment classification so assigned to the institution by the FDIC.
FDICIA also made extensive changes in existing rules regarding audits,
examinations and accounting. It generally requires annual on-site, full-scope
examinations by each bank's primary federal regulator. It also imposed new
responsibilities on management, the independent audit committee and outside
accountants to develop or approve reports regarding the effectiveness of
internal controls, legal compliance and off-balance sheet liabilities and
assets.
Legislation enacted in August 1993 provides a preference for deposits
and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against
an insured depository institution, such as TCB's and MBI's insured bank
subsidiaries, in the "liquidation or other resolution" of such an institution by
any receiver. Such obligations would be afforded priority over other general
unsecured claims against such an institution, including federal funds and
letters of credit, as well as any obligation to stockholders of such an
institution in their capacity as such.
In September 1994, legislation was enacted that is expected to have a
significant effect in restructuring the banking industry in the United States.
-92-
<PAGE>
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994
facilitates the interstate expansion and consolidation of banking organizations
(i) by permitting bank holding companies that are adequately capitalized and
managed, one year after enactment of the legislation, to acquire banks located
in states outside their home states regardless of whether such acquisitions are
authorized under the law of the host state, (ii) by permitting the interstate
merger of banks after June 1, 1997, subject to the right of individual states to
"opt in" or to "opt out" of this authority before that date, (iii) by permitting
banks to establish new branches on an interstate basis provided that such action
is specifically authorized by the law of the host state, (iv) by permitting
foreign banks to establish, with approval of the regulators in the United
States, branches outside their home states to the same extent that national or
state banks located in the home state would be authorized to do so, and (v) by
permitting, beginning September 29, 1995, banks to receive deposits, renew time
deposits, close loans, service loans and receive payments on loans and other
obligations as agent for any bank or thrift affiliate, whether the affiliate is
located in the same state or a different state. One effect of this legislation
will be to permit MBI to acquire banks located in any state and to permit bank
holding companies located in any state to acquire banks and bank holding
companies in Missouri. Overall, this legislation is likely to have the effects
of increasing competition and promoting geographic diversification in the
banking industry.

TCBankshares, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1993
1. Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TCBankshares, Inc.
and its six majority-owned banking subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investment Securities
Investment securities are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums
and accretion of discounts. The adjusted cost of the specific security sold is
used to compute gain or loss on the sale of investment securities.
Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at
the time of purchase. Management has the intent and the Company has the ability
to hold investment securities to maturity or on a long-term basis. As such,
these securities are carried at amortized historical costs. If securities are
acquired with the intent of holding for an indefinite period or for sale prior
to maturity, the securities would be carried at the lower of cost or market.
(See "Future Application of Accounting Standards" later in Note 1.)
Revenue Recognition
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations generally based upon the
principal amount outstanding. Interest on loans is not accrued when amounts are
considered doubtful of collection. If the ultimate collectibility of principal
is in doubt, any payment received on a loan, on which the accrual of interest
has been suspended, is applied to reduce principal to the extent necessary to
eliminate such doubt. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited
to income on the loan in the current year is reversed, and interest accrued in
the prior year is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level management believes is
adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. Management's
-103-
<PAGE>
determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of
potential losses in the loan portfolio considering current economic conditions,
past loan loss experience, volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio,
nonperforming loans, and other relevant factors. The allowance is increased by
provisions for loan losses charged against income and reduced by charge-offs,
net of recoveries.
Premises and Equipment
The Company's premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. The provision for depreciation and amortization
is computed generally by the straight-line method based upon the estimated
useful lives of the assets. The carrying amount of assets sold, retired or
disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are
eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in
operating results.
First Mortgage Real Estate Loans Held for Resale
First mortgage real estate loans held for resale ($10,741,693 at December 31,
1993 and $5,511,716 at December 31, 1992) are classified with real estate
mortgage loans in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are carried at
the lower of cost or fair market value on a net aggregate basis. These loans are
generally presold or subject to firm purchase commitments.
Other Real Estate
Other real estate consists of properties acquired through foreclosure
proceedings or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are
initially recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair market value based on
appraised value at the date acquired or transferred from loans less estimated
selling expenses. Losses arising from the acquisition of such property are
charged against the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuation adjustments,
if any, and gains or losses resulting from sales are recorded in operating
results.
The Company's state banking subsidiary is required to amortize other real estate
over sixty months, in accordance with state banking regulations. The regulators
may grant deferrals of this required amortization, if requested by the Company.
Net expenses relating to other real estate (included in other expenses) were
$101,000, $211,000, and $249,000 during the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992,
and 1991, respectively. These amounts include the state regulators mandated
amortization expense. Loans aggregating approximately $(184,000), $643,000, and
-104-
<PAGE>
$5,131,000 were transferred to (from) other real estate during 1993, 1992, and
1991, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of the unamortized excess cost of purchased banking
subsidiaries and premiums paid for the acquisition of deposits from failed
financial institutions. Unamortized costs of purchased subsidiaries in excess of
the fair value of underlying net tangible assets acquired are being amortized
over 25 years using the straight-line method. Premiums associated with the
future earnings potential of acquired deposits are being amortized, using the
straight-line method, over the estimated five to ten year life of the deposits.
The net costs associated with acquired deposits were $763,000 at December 31,
1993, $856,000 at December 31, 1992 and $81,500 at December 31, 1991.
Income Taxes
The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns. It is the
Company's practice to have its subsidiaries pay to or receive from the Company
and other affiliates amounts based on the taxable income (or loss) of the
subsidiary. Certain items, primarily additions to the allowance for loan losses,
are recognized as income or expense in different periods for financial and for
income tax reporting purposes. Deferred taxes are provided for such timing
differences.
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company adopted the provisions of the
new standard in its consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 1993. As
permitted by the Statement, prior year financial statements have not been
restated to reflect the change in accounting method. The effect as of January 1,
1993 of adopting Statement 109 increased consolidated net income by
approximately $126,000. This amount is included as a reduction of the provision
for income taxes in the 1993 consolidated statement of income.
Under Statement 109, the liability method is used in accounting for income
taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Prior to the adoption of
Statement 109, income tax expense was determined using the deferred method.
-105-
<PAGE>
Deferred tax expense was based on items of income and expense that were reported
in different years in the financial statements and tax returns and were measured
at the tax rate in effect in the year the difference originated.
Statement of Cash Flows
Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.
Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one day periods.
Future Application of Accounting Standards
In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
on Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". Statement 115 will be adopted by the Company on
January 1, 1994 and requires that investments in debt and equity securities be
classified as held to maturity, trading, or available for sale. Investments in
debt securities classified as held to maturity are to be reported at amortized
cost. Investments in debt and equity securities classified as trading are to be
reported at fair value with related unrealized gains and losses included in net
income. Investments in debt and equity securities classified as available for
sale are to be reported at fair value with related unrealized gains and losses
excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. Management plans to classify its municipal securities as investments
held to maturity and the majority of the remainder of its investment securities
as available for sale. At December 31, 1993, adoption of Statement 115 would
have increased shareholders' equity by approximately $5,666,000 and have no
impact on the Company's net income for 1993.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" requires employers to recognize the
obligation to provide postemployment benefits if the obligation is attributable
to employees' services already rendered, employees' rights to those benefits
accumulate or vest, payment of the benefits is probable, and the amount of
benefits can be reasonably estimated. The Company will be required to adopt
Statement 112 in 1994. The Company's initial assessment is that the adoption of
this new standard will not have a material impact on its financial position or
results of operations.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan" requires that impaired loans that are within the scope
of the Statement be measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective rate, or, as a practical expedient, at
-106-
<PAGE>
the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent. The Company will be required to adopt Statement
114 in 1995. Management does not believe the adoption of this new standard will
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1991 and 1992 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the reporting format used for the 1993 consolidated
financial statements.
2. Mergers and Acquisitions
On January 30, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan of
exchange with Twin City Bank whereby the Company issued common and preferred
stock in exchange for 267,395 shares of common stock and all of the preferred
stock of Twin City Bank based on an exchange ratio which valued the common stock
of the Company at 1.1 times book value per share and which valued Twin City
Bank's common stock at 1.09 times book value per share on the date of exchange.
As a result, Twin City Bank became a 99%-owned subsidiary of TCBankshares, Inc.
The plan of exchange provided that Twin City Bank's outstanding perpetual,
nonvoting, 8.5% cumulative preferred stock be exchanged for shares of perpetual,
nonvoting, 8.5% cumulative preferred stock of TCBankshares, Inc., with dividends
and terms of preference similar to the Twin City Bank's preferred stock
previously held. The plan of exchange was approved by the Federal Reserve Bank
of St. Louis and other appropriate regulatory agencies and was accounted for as
a pooling-of-interests. Twin City Bank's financial statements are included in
the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
In March 1992, the Company was the successful bidder on approximately $142
million of deposit accounts, previously held by Home Federal Savings and Loan,
in a liquidation sale conducted by the Resolution Trust Corporation. The Company
paid a deposit premium of approximately $925,000, which will be amortized over 5
to 10 years. In conjunction with the purchase of the deposit accounts, Twin City
Bank paid a $2,500,000 special dividend of which $2,475,880 was paid to the
-107-
<PAGE>
Company to enable the Company to make an initial capital contribution to a newly
chartered national bank, The Community Bank of Batesville, Arkansas
(Batesville). Batesville was formed to purchase certain assets and assume
certain liabilities from the Resolution Trust Corporation in connection with the
Company's successful bid to acquire the Batesville Branch of the former Home
Federal Savings and Loan.

obligations of state and political subdivisions and the SLMA preferred stock.
The allowance was $90,000 and $2,240,000 at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively. During 1992 and 1991, provisions for permanent declines in value
of $567,643 and $955,837, respectively, were recorded and included in net
securities gains and losses. No such provisions were made in 1993.

Maturities of long-term debt are $5,459,500 in 1994 and $2,035,000 in 1995.
The loan agreements for both notes include, among other things, provisions
relative to additional borrowings, maintenance of capital, and restrictions on
the payment of cash dividends, which are no more restrictive than those required
by the bank regulators (see Note 12). The amortizing revolving line of credit
increased to $8 million effective January 1, 1993 making $5,710,500 available to
the Company at December 31, 1993.
Capital Notes are unsecured obligations which bear interest at 9.5% and are
payable serially through June 30, 1995. Principal payments are $17,500 in 1994
-111-

with the remaining balance of $140,000 payable in 1995.
8. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method as required by
FASB Statement No. 109 (See Note 1). Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax
effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. The significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities
and assets as of December 31, 1993 are as follows:
Deferred tax liabilities:
Purchase accounting-basis differences $ 596,576
Prepaid assets 278,668
Prepaid pension 278,930
Other 10,577
----------
Total deferred tax liabilities 1,164,751
Deferred tax assets:

----- ----- -----
Effective income tax rate 26.4% 26.9% 22.3%

The provision for income taxes includes income taxes applicable to investment
securities gains of $541,139 in 1993, $1,008,502 in 1992, and $210,696 in 1991.
The Company made income tax payments of approximately $5,208,000, $4,474,000,
and $1,921,000 during 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
9. Commitments
At December 31, 1993 future minimum payments under noncancelable operating
leases for branch or office locations with initial or remaining terms of one
year or more are $978,551, $954,941, $904,859, $707,990, and $398,276 for 1994
through 1998, respectively, $1,454,661 thereafter. Net rental expense for all
operating leases amounted to $1,031,538 in 1993, $735,780 in 1992 and $652,577
in 1991. The lease agreements contain options to renew at various dates for
periods ranging from five to twenty-one years. Eight of the locations, with
future minimum lease payments totaling approximately $2,537,000, are leased from
officers and/or directors of the Company.
At December 31, 1993, future minimum payments due under noncancelable data
processing agreements are approximately $1,392,000, $1,479,000, $1,553,000,
$1,630,000, and $1,712,000 for 1994 through 1998, respectively. Additional
amounts may be due based on the number of transactions processed by the servicer
-113-
<PAGE>
and annual payments may increase by up to 5% based on the Consumer Price Index.
In the normal course of business there are various commitments outstanding, such
as guarantees and commitments to extend credit, including standby letters of
credit to assure performance or to support debt obligations, and loans sold
subject to repurchase agreements, which are not reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. These arrangements have credit risk
essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit, standby
letters of credit, and loans sold subject to repurchase agreements is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the
same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Financial instruments whose contract
amounts represent credit risk were as follows:
December 31
1993 1992
----------- -----------
Commitments to extend credit $89,714,114 $66,278,842
Standby letters of credit 5,064,195 3,204,951
Loans sold subject to
repurchase agreement 21,721,000 15,201,000
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's
credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if
deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but
may include real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
-114-
<PAGE>
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and
similar transactions.
In 1993, the Company sold approximately $30,000,000 of loans to third parties
subject to repurchase agreements. These agreements generally require the Company
to repurchase loans that do not meet the standards of the related sale
agreements or that become 90 days delinquent within a stated period of time (90
to 365 days) after being sold to the permanent investor. At December 31, 1993,
the Company did not hold any loans which it had been required to repurchase.
10. Concentration of Credit Risk
Most of the Company's lending activity is with customers located within the
state of Arkansas. The loan portfolio is diversified with no industry comprising
greater than 10% of total loans. The Company's subsidiary banks require
collateral on most loans and generally maintains loan to value ratios of no
greater than 80%.
11. Transactions with Related Parties
The Company's bank subsidiaries have had, and expect to have in the future,
banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with officers and
directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. Such transactions have been on
similar terms, including interest rates and collateral on loans, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others, and have
involved no more than normal risk or other potential unfavorable aspects. Loans
made to such borrowers (including companies in which they are principal owners)
amounted to approximately $15,171,000 at December 31, 1993 and $18,455,000 at
December 31, 1992.
12. Dividend Restrictions
The Company has five national bank subsidiaries and one state bank subsidiary.
National and state banking regulations place certain restrictions on the ability
of banks to pay dividends without regulatory approvals. The approval of the
Comptroller of the Currency is required for national banks to pay dividends in
excess of earnings retained in the current year plus retained net profits for
the preceding two years. State-chartered banks may pay dividends up to 50% of
current year net income without obtaining regulatory approval.

13. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
The Company paid $33,458,989, $36,825,378, and $43,561,498 in interest on
deposits and other borrowings during 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.
14. Pension Plan
The Company provides a defined benefit pension plan which covers substantially
all employees of the Company meeting certain age and length of service
requirements. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's
average compensation during the last five years of employment. The Company's
funding policy is to contribute annually the maximum that can be deducted for
federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for
benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned
in the future.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status:

In 1993, the Company approved a defined contribution 401(k) plan which covers
all eligible employees who attain the age of eighteen and are employed by the
Company. The Company's policy is to match employee contributions up to three
percent of each participant's annual compensation. Plan contribution expense for
the year ended December 31, 1993 was approximately $138,000.
15. Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks
The Company is required to maintain reserve balances with the Federal Reserve
Bank. The average amount of those reserve balances was approximately $10,764,000
in 1993 and $9,443,500 in 1992.
16. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to
-117-
<PAGE>
estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair
values are based on estimates using present value, discounted cash flows, or
other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized
in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement 107 excludes certain
financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
represent the underlying value to the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance
sheet for cash and short-term instruments approximate the fair values
of these assets.
Investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities): Fair
values of investment securities are primarily based on quoted market
prices (see Note 3).
Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and
with no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate
carrying amounts. The fair values for construction and mortgage real
estate, installment and commercial, financial and agricultural loans,
with fixed rates, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of loans net of the
allowance for loan losses consisted of the following:
Carrying Estimated Fair
Amount Value
-------------- ---------------
December 31, 1993 ................ $554,074,813 $553,575,000
December 31, 1992 ................ 456,052,990 458,414,000
Deposit liabilities: The fair values for demand deposits (e.g.,
interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types
of money market accounts), are, by definition, equal to the amount
-118-
<PAGE>
payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts).
The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed term money market
accounts approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair
values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a
discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently
being offered to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities
of certificates of deposit.
For deposits with no defined maturities, fair value is the amount
payable on demand. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
for demand deposits, money market and passbook savings accounts
approximate their fair values. The carrying amount and estimated fair
value of certificates of deposit consisted of the following:
Carrying Estimated Fair
Amount Value
------------- -------------
December 31, 1993 .......... $ 629,222,210 $ 630,984,000
December 31, 1992 .......... 567,488,907 568,723,000
Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased,
borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings
approximate their fair values.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments: The Company has two types of
off-balance sheet financial instruments --commitments to extend credit
and standby letters of credit. These types of credit are made at market
rates; therefore, there would be no market risk associated with these
credits which would create a significant fair value liability for the
Company.
