              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              ----------------------------------------------------


1.    The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Mississippi Valley Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Southwest Bank of St. Louis (the "Bank").  Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.  The results of operations for the interim periods shown in
this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
entire year.  In the opinion of management, the information contained herein
reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the
interim periods a fair statement of such operations.  All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.

2.    Interest-Rate Risk Management - The Company sometimes uses various
interest rate related contracts, such as futures and options, to manage its
overall interest rate risk exposure for asset-liability management purposes.
When such contracts are not matched against a specifically designated group
of assets or liabilities and are held for trading purposes, the gains or
losses from the change in the market values of such contracts are recognized
in current income and are reported in other income.

      The Company's objective in managing interest-rate risk is to maintain
a balanced mix of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive
liabilities over a designated time horizon.  The extent of interest rate
sensitivity can vary within intervening time periods, depending on current
business conditions and management's interest rate outlook.  The principal
objective of the Bank's asset-liability management activities is to provide
maximum levels of net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of
interest rate and liquidity risk while facilitating the funding needs of the
Bank.  To achieve that objective, the Bank uses various derivative financial
instruments.

      During the first quarter of 1996 the Bank purchased $145 million of
interest rate swap contracts as part of its asset-liability management
strategy to manage interest rate risk.  The contracts, which require the
Bank to pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a variable rate of interest
from the seller of the contract, are accounted for as modifications of the
interest rate characteristics of certain bank assets.  The Bank had been in
a liability sensitive position prior to the affect of these swap contracts.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
- -------    -----------------------------------------------
                OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                -------------------------------------

      The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
attached condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and
with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 1995.


SUMMARY OF EARNINGS
- -------------------

      Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $3,534,000,
up $912,000 or 34.8% from the $2,622,000 earned during the second quarter of
1995.  On a per share basis, net income was $.73, up 32.7% from $.55 in the
same period of the prior year.  The improved performance resulted primarily
from higher net interest income.   Noninterest income increased $244,000
from a combination of greater service charges on depository accounts,
increased trading profits and commissions and greater credit card merchant
fees.  Offsetting a portion of the higher earnings was an increased
provision for possible loan losses and increased noninterest expenses.

      Net income for the first half of 1996 was $6,797,000, up $1,732,000 or
34.2% from $5,065,000 earned for the first half of 1995.  On a per share
basis, net income was $1.41, up 33.0% from $1.06 in the first half of 1995.
Increased net interest income was principally responsible for the improved
earnings.  Securities gains in 1996 along with greater service charges on
deposit accounts and higher trading profits and commissions also
supplemented this year's earnings.  Offsetting a portion of the greater net
interest earnings were increased noninterest expenses, primarily greater
personnel and benefit costs plus other accompanying expenses associated with
the Concord Village office opened in June, 1995.


NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

      The following discussion and tables set forth the composition of
average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities along with
accompanying interest income, expense, yields and rates, on a tax-equivalent
basis.  The tax-equivalent adjustments were approximately $63,000, $67,000,
$125,000 and $136,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Net interest
income on a tax equivalent basis, divided by average interest-earning
assets, represents the Company's net interest margin.


Three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
- -----------------------------------------

      Total tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended June
30, 1996 was $19,557,000, up $2,696,000 as compared to the same period in
1995.  The $84 million increase

                                    8
<PAGE> 9
in the volume of average loans outstanding and the $63 million increase in
securities combined to advance interest income 16.0%.  Partially reducing
the effect of the volume driven interest income increase were the lower
yields on total earning assets of 8.24%, down 34 basis points from the
8.58% in the second quarter of 1995.  The expanded asset base was funded
primarily with increased money market account funds raised during the
deposit promotion in the last half of 1995.

      Total interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 was $9,851,000,
up $1,111,000 from $8,740,000 in the second three months of 1995.  The
effects of the $198 million increase in average money market deposits was
partially offset by a decline in short-term borrowings and the lower rates
paid on all fund sources in the second quarter of 1996 compared with the
same period in 1995.

      Overall tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1,585,000 as
interest income rose $2.7 million and interest expense was up $1.1 million.
The Company's net interest margin declined slightly to 4.08% in the second
quarter of 1996 from 4.13% in the same period in 1995.

Six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
- ---------------------------------------

      Total tax-equivalent interest income for the first six months of 1996
was $38,684,000, up $5,800,000 from $32,884,000 in the same period in 1995.
The $72 million increase in average loans and $92 million increase in
securities volume were responsible for generating the increase in interest
earnings from 1995 to 1996.  However, reduced yields on loans offset a
portion of the increased earnings.  Overall earning asset yields were 8.22%
for the first six months of 1996, down from 8.58% for the same period in
1995.

      Total interest expense for the first half of 1996 was $19,503,000, up
$2,938,000 from $16,565,000 in the same period of 1995.  An increase of $212
million in money market deposit accounts was responsible for the increased
interest expense.  Offsetting some of the effects of additional money market
accounts were reduced short-term borrowings and the lower rates paid on most
fund sources except certificates of deposit.  Overall rates paid on total
interest bearing liabilities declined to 4.77% from 5.03% in the first half
of 1995.

      In summary, total tax-equivalent net interest income increased
$2,862,000 as interest income improved by $5.8 million and interest expense
grew $2.9 million.  The Company's net interest margin for the first six
months was 4.07%, down slightly from 4.26% in the same period in 1995.

     The following table indicates, on a tax-equivalent basis, the changes in
interest income and interest expense which are attributable to changes in
average volume and changes in average rates, in comparison with the same
period in the preceding year.  The change in interest due to the combined
rate-volume variance has been allocated to rate and volume changes in
proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the changes in each.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES
- ----------------------------------

   The provision for possible loan losses for the second quarter of  1996
was $850,000, up from $650,000 last year. For the first half of 1996 the
provision for possible loan losses was $1,950,000, up from $1,450,000 for the
same period last year. Slightly higher net loan charge-offs and good loan
growth during 1996 resulted in the higher provision expense. The annualized
ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for the first half of 1996 was
 .24%, up from .18% last year, while corresponding net loan charge-offs
were $763,000 and $507,000, respectively.

  The allowance for possible loan losses was $12.0 million or 1.75% of loans
outstanding at June 30, 1996. This compares to $10.8 million or 1.73% at the
end of 1995 and $10.5 million or 1.75% at June 30, 1995. In management's
judgement, the allowance for possible loan losses is considered adequate to
absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio.

  The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, activity in the
allowance for possible loan losses:

NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------

   For the second quarter of 1996 total noninterest income was $1,214,000, up
from $970,000 in the same period in 1995. Higher trading profits and
commissions and additional other customer fees and charges increased total
noninterest income in 1996.

   For the first six months of 1996 total noninterest income was $2,547,000,
up sharply from $1,531,000  in the first half of 1995. Net gains of $441,000
were realized on securities sales in the first half of 1996. In the first
half of 1995 the Company had losses on securities sales of $91,000. Included
were sales of securities classified as held to maturity which generated
losses of $3,000 in 1996 compared with losses of $59,000 in 1995. These sales
were sometimes done to fund the purchase of other securities or to meet
various other needs, but sales of held to maturity securities were only done
within 90 days of each specific security's maturity date. Noninterest income
levels were also supplemented by increased service charges on deposits and
higher trading profits and commissions and other customer fees and charges.


NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------

   Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1996 was $4.6 million,
up $347,000 from $4.2 million in the first three months of 1995. For the
first half of 1996 total noninterest expenses were  $9.0 million, up $801,000
from $8.2 million in same period in 1995.  Greater personnel and benefit
costs, and some accompanying expenses such as occupancy and equipment costs
associated with the Concord Village office opened in June, 1995, were
responsible for the increase in total overhead costs.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND RESOURCES
- --------------------------------

      As of June 30, 1996, the Company's total shareholders' equity was
$71.8 million.  New capital was provided by the Company's net earnings and
the exercise of stock options.  Offsetting the Company's capital
accumulation were the payments of cash dividends on preferred and common
stock and unrealized losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities.

      The analysis of capital is dependent upon a number of factors
including asset quality, earnings strength, liquidity, economic conditions
and combinations thereof.  The two primary criteria currently in effect are
the risk-based capital guidelines and the minimum capital to total assets or
leverage ratio requirement.

      These regulatory guidelines require that Tier 1 capital equal or
exceed 4.00% of risk-weighted assets, and that the risk-based total capital
ratio equal or exceed 8.00%.  As of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 the
Company's Tier 1 capital was 10.64% and 10.30% of risk-weighted assets, and
total risk-based capital was 11.90% and 11.64% of risk-weighted assets,
respectively.

      The minimum acceptable ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets, or
leverage ratio, has been established at 3.00%.  As of June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, the Company's leverage ratio was 7.02% and 6.70%,
respectively.

      Management believes that a strong capital position provided by a mix
of equity and long-term debt is essential.  It provides safety and security
for depositors, and enhances Company value for shareholders by providing
opportunities for growth with the selective use of leverage.
