                   Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
TCBankshares, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
TCBankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of TCBankshares, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 3, the Company changed its accounting for
investment securities.

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                        December 31, 1994

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

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." As permitted under the
Statement, the Company elected to adopt the provisions of the
Statement as of January 1, 1994. In accordance with the Statement,
prior period financial statements were not restated to reflect this
change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect as of January 1,
1994 of adopting Statement 115 increased stockholders' equity by
$5,666,000 (net of $2,918,000 in deferred income taxes). Shareholders'
equity was decreased by $10,173,000 as of December 31, 1994, to
reflect unrealized losses on securities classified as available-for-
sale or transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. These
amounts are net of a deferred tax benefit of $5,240,000 at December
31, 1994.

Trading Portfolio - Trading portfolio assets are held for resale in
anticipation of short-term market movements. Trading portfolio assets,
consisting of debt securities, are stated at fair value. Gains and
losses, both realized and unrealized, are included in net investment
securities gains (losses) in the accompanying statement of income. The
Company did not hold any trading securities at December 31, 1994 and
1993.

Securities Held-to-Maturity and Available-for-Sale - Management
determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the
time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance
sheet date. Securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the
Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost,
less the valuation allowance on securities transferred from available-
for-sale.

Investment securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading
are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities
are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net
of tax, reported in shareholders' equity.

                       TCBankshares, Inc.

     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity
or available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage backed
securities, over the estimated life of the security. Such amortization
is included in investment income. Realized gains and losses and
declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included in
net investment securities gains (losses).

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 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.

     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company made a prospective change in
the estimated useful lives of certain property and equipment.
Estimated useful lives for certain buildings which were 25 to 30 years
were reduced to 20 years. These changes were made to reflect the
estimated periods during which such assets will remain in service. For
1994, these changes increased depreciation expense by approximately
$97,000 and reduced net income by approximately $60,000.

FIRST MORTGAGE REAL ESTATE LOANS HELD FOR RESALE

First mortgage real estate loans held for resale ($983,000 at December
31, 1994 and $10,742,000 at December 31, 1993) 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 pre-sold 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 $45,000, $101,000,
and $211,000 during the years ended December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992,
respectively. These amounts include the state regulators mandated
amortization expense. Loans aggregating approximately $464,000,
$(184,000), and $643,000 were transferred to (from) other real estate
during 1994, 1993, and 1992, 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 15 years using the straight-
line method.

     Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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 $671,000 at December 31, 1994,
$763,000 at December 31, 1993 and $856,000 at December 31, 1992.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company made a prospective change in
the estimated useful life of goodwill related to certain subsidiary
bank acquisitions. The estimated useful lives related to the goodwill
amounts which were 25 years were reduced to 15 years. These changes
were made to more accurately reflect the estimated periods during
which such assets provide a future economic benefit. For 1994, these
changes increased amortization expense and reduced net income by
approximately $1,708,000.

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. 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures" require that impaired
loans that are within the scope of the Statements 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 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
Statements 114 and 118 in 1995. Management does not believe the
adoption of these new standards will have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the 1992 and 1993 consolidated financial statements
have been reclassified to conform to the reporting format used for the
1994 consolidated financial statements.

2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On December 2, 1994, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Agreement") with Mercantile Bancorporation, Inc.,
("MBI") whereby (1) each share of the Company's common stock will be
converted into the right to receive 2,228.2299 shares of MBI common
stock, (2) each share of the Company's Series A preferred stock will
be converted into the right to receive one share of MBI Series B-1
preferred stock, and (3) each share of the Company's Series B
preferred stock will be converted into the right to receive one share
of MBI Series B-2 preferred stock. Consummation of the Agreement is
subject to certain terms and conditions, including the approval of the
Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Company's common and preferred stock and
receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals.

In connection with this transaction, the Company had accrued estimated
costs associated with the merger of $2,900,000 at December 31, 1994.

The Company maintains an allowance for permanent declines in value on
obligations of state and political subdivisions and other securities.
The allowance was $180,000 and $90,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. During 1994 and 1992, provisions for permanent declines
in value of $180,000 and $568,000, respectively, were recorded and are
included in net securities gains and losses. No such provisions were
made in 1993.

3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES (CONTINUED)

Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities during 1994 were
$20,851,000. Gross gains of $2,391,000 and gross losses of $861,000
were realized on those sales.

Proceeds from sales of investments in debt securities during 1993 and
1992 were $4,779,000 and $105,530,000, respectively. Gross gains of
$1,383,000 and $3,179,000 and gross losses of $4,000 and $545,000 in
1993 and 1992, respectively, were realized on those sales.

There were no sales of held-to-maturity securities during 1994. On
October 1, 1994, the Company transferred securities from the available-
for-sale classification to the held-to-maturity classification. The
securities transferred had an amortized cost basis of $238,018,000 and
an estimated market value of $225,792,000 on the transfer date. The
unrealized loss on the date of the transfer remained in shareholders'
equity and is accreted over the remaining life of the transferred
securities. The amortized cost basis of the Company's held-to-maturity
securities is reduced by a valuation allowance of $11,444,000 relating
to the unaccreted holding losses as of December 31, 1994.

Investment securities with a book value of $385,741,000 and
$240,235,000 were pledged to secure public deposits and for other
purposes as required by law, at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

</TABLE>

Interest is not accrued on loans when principal or interest is in
default for 90 days or more unless the loans are well secured and in
the process of collection. The Company's state banking subsidiary is
required by state bank regulations to place on nonaccrual status loans
105 days or more past due. There were no significant commitments to
lend additional funds to borrowers included in the nonperforming loan
categories.

In 1993, the Company moved a nonaccrual loan back to accrual status
due to sustained performance by the borrower for an extended period,
which allowed the loan to meet regulatory guidelines for accrual of
interest. However, until the customer has paid all delinquent interest
earned by the Company during the nonaccrual period, the loan is
required to be reported as past due. As such, accruing loans past due
ninety days or more include this loan, which had a principal balance
of $2,317,000 at December 31, 1994 and $2,379,000 at December 31,
1993.

for periods ranging from five to twenty-one years. Eight of the
locations, with future minimum lease payments totaling approximately
$3,585,000, are leased from officers and/or directors of the Company.

9. COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

At December 31, 1994, future minimum payments due under noncancelable
data processing agreements are approximately $1,479,000, $1,553,000,
$1,630,000, $1,712,000, and $1,798,000 for 1995 through 1999,
respectively. Additional amounts may be due based on the number of
transactions processed by the servicer 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.

<TABLE>
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 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

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.

9. COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 primarily issued to support public and private
borrowing arrangements and similar transactions.

In 1994, the Company sold approximately $16,622,000 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 (4 to 12 months) after being sold to the
permanent investor. At December 31, 1994, the Company held no 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 90%.

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 $14,610,000 at December 31, 1994 and $15,171,000 at
December 31, 1993.

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 approximately $38,642,000, $33,459,000, and
$36,825,000 in interest on deposits and other borrowings during 1994,
1993, and 1992, respectively.

14. BENEFIT PLANS

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.

<TABLE>
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 3% of each participant's annual compensation. Plan
contribution expense was approximately $306,000 and $138,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

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 $17,899,000 in 1994 and $10,764,000 in 1993.

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 estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using

16. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

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 (in thousands):

16. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

    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
    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.

<TABLE>
    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 (in
    thousands):

</TABLE>

    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.

   Notes to Pro Forma Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
                             (Unaudited)

(1)  The acquisitions of Southwest, TCB, UNSL, Wedge, Central Mortgage and
     AmeriFirst will be accounted for as poolings-of-interests.

(2)  The acquisition of Wedge and UNSL closed on January 3, 1995 and are not
     included in the first column representing MBI's reported results.

(3)  The acquisition of Plains Spirit will be accounted for as a purchase
     transaction.  Purchase accounting adjustments are considered
     immaterial to the balance sheet and income statements of the proforma
     combined entity.

(4)  Purchase entry with consideration of $64 million consisting of cash and
     1,400,000 shares of MBI Common Stock at $31.625 per share, which was the
     closing price on December 22, 1994, the day preceding the execution of
     the Merger Agreement.

(5)  The pro forma excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired
     ("goodwill") was $9,923,000 as of December 31, 1994.  This amount will
     vary depending on final purchase price adjustments and adjustments to
     equity of Plains Spirit for income, dividends, and FAS No. 115 prior to
     the Closing Date. See footnote 3 above.

(6)  Elimination of MBI's investment in Plains Spirit.

(7)  As part of an ongoing stock repurchase program, MBI will repurchase
     1,132,000 shares of its own common stock in the open market.  Assumed
     weighted average price of $32.03 per share.

(8)  Acquisition of TCB with 4,750,000 shares of MBI Common Stock.   In
     addition, MBI will assume, through an exchange, the outstanding, non-
     convertible preferred stock of TCB, amounting to $12,153,000.

(9)  Elimination of MBI's investment in TCB.

(10) Acquisition of Central Mortgage with 2,537,952 shares of MBI Common
     Stock, based on exchange ratio of .5970 of a share of MBI Common Stock per
     share of Central Mortgage Common Stock.

(11) Elimination of MBI's investment in Central Mortgage.

(12) The acquisition of ABNK by MBI, on April 30, 1992, was accounted for as
     a purchase transaction. The MBI historical financial data includes ABNK
     from the date of acquisition.  The results of operations of ABNK were
     included in the MBI pro forma combined income statement from January 1,
     1992.

(13) Acquisition of Southwest with 675,000 shares of MBI Common Stock, and
     AmeriFirst with 661,385 shares of MBI Common Stock.

(14) Elimination of MBI's investment in Southwest and AmeriFirst.

(15) Plains Spirit's fiscal year end is September 30, so those amounts are
     used for the December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992 income statements.
