             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'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.  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.

      During the fourth quarter of 1996 the Bank purchased a two-year
interest-rate floor contract as part of its asset-liability management
strategy to manage interest rate risk.  For the fixed premium payment of
$345,000 the interest-rate floor contract requires the seller to pay the Bank
at specified future dates the amount, if any, by which a specified market
interest rate falls below the fixed floor rate, applied to a notional amount
of $50 million.  The instrument is being held for trading purposes, and
therefore, all market value adjustments and income or expense on the
instrument is recognized on a current basis.

      During the first quarter of 1997 the Bank purchased a three-year
interest-rate floor agreement as a hedge against reduced yields on its
floating rate loan portfolio in anticipation of a declining interest rate
environment.  For the fixed premium payment of $215,000 the interest-rate
floor contract requires the seller to pay the Bank at specified future dates
the amount, if any, by which a specified market interest rate falls below the
fixed floor rate, applied to a notional amount of $25 million.  Income or
expense on the instrument is recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to
the yield of the related interest-earning assets over the period covered by
the contract.

3.    MVBI Capital Trust - During the first quarter of 1997 the Company formed
MVBI Capital Trust ("MVBI Capital"), a statutory business trust.  The Company
purchased all the common stock of MVBI Capital for $462,375.  MVBI Capital
sold to the public 598,000 preferred shares, having a liquidation value of $25
per share, for a total of $14,950,000.  The sole assets of MVBI Capital are
subordinated debentures of the Company for $15,412,375 which are


                                    7
<PAGE> 8

due in the year 2027.  The distributions payable on the preferred securities
will float with the 3-Month Treasury plus 2.25%.  All accounts of MVBI Capital
are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.  The
preferred securities are considered long-term borrowings of the Company and
entitled "Guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in subordinated
debentures" for financial reporting purposes.

4.    New accounting standard - SFAS No. 128 - In March, 1997, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share.  SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial
statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Earlier application is not permitted.  Under the standard, primary EPS is
replaced with a calculation called basic EPS.  Basic EPS would be calculated
by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.  Options would be excluded from the
calculation for the Company.  Fully diluted EPS would not change significantly
but would be renamed diluted EPS.  SFAS No. 128 is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's reported earnings per share.

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, 1996.

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

      Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $3,497,000,
down $37,000 or 1.0% from the $3,534,000 earned during the second quarter of
1996.  On a per share basis, net income was $.72, down from $.73 in the same
period of the prior year.  Greater net interest income was offset by a larger
provision for loan losses and increased noninterest expenses.  Total
noninterest income was up only slightly from the prior year level.

      Net income for the first half of 1997 was $6,840,000, up $43,000 or .6%
from $6,797,000 earned for the first half of 1996.  On a per share basis, net
income was $1.42, up from $1.41 in the first half of 1996.  Increased net
interest income was offset by a slightly higher provision for loan losses and
greater noninterest expenses.  Much of the increase in overhead costs was
anticipated and was incurred to assist in the loan and deposit growth
experienced thus far in 1997.  Total noninterest income for the first half of
1997 was $2,547,000, the same as for the first six months of 1996.

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, $63,000,
$124,000 and $125,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997 and 1996
- -----------------------------------------

      Total tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended June 30,
1997 was $23,163,000, up $3,606,000 as compared to the same period in 1996.
The $140 million increase in the volume of average loans outstanding was
primarily responsible for the increase in interest earnings for the second
quarter of 1997.  Overall asset yields were 8.53% in the second quarter of
1997, up 29 basis points from the 8.24% earned in the same period in 1996.
Most of the increase in overall asset yields resulted from increased loan
yields that advanced largely from the higher average prime loan rate in 1997.


                                    9
<PAGE> 10

Funding the Company's loan growth was a combination of increased short-term
borrowings, additional time deposits and increased money market accounts.
These increased borrowings and deposits were largely responsible for the
increased interest expense in 1997.

      Total interest expense for the second quarter of 1997 was $12,489,000,
up $2,638,000 from $9,851,000 in the second three months of 1996.  Adding to
the effects of the increased volume of deposits and short-term borrowings were
the increased rates paid on nearly all fund sources in 1997.

      Overall tax-equivalent net interest income increased $968,000 as
interest income rose $3.6 million and interest expense was up $2.6 million.
The Company's net interest margin declined to 3.93% in the second quarter of
1997 from 4.08% in the same period in 1996 as the current 6.02% annual
percentage yield money market deposit promotion, which began in the second
quarter of 1997, advanced overall deposit rates more than total asset yields
improved during the same period.

Six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
- ---------------------------------------

      Total tax-equivalent interest income for the first six months of 1997
was $43,725,000, up $5,041,000 from $38,684,000 in the same period in 1996.
The $119 million increase in average loans was primarily responsible for
generating the increase in interest earnings from 1996 to 1997.  Slightly
higher asset yields also supplemented the overall increase in interest income.
Overall earning asset yields were 8.37% for the first six months of 1997, up
from 8.22% for the same period of 1996.

      Total interest expense for the first half of 1997 was $23,241,000, up
$3,738,000 from $19,503,000 in the same period in 1996.  Greater time deposits
and short-term borrowings were primarily responsible for the increased
expense.  Higher rates paid on nearly all fund sources, but most notably on
money market accounts, also increased interest expense for the first half of
1997.  Overall rates paid on total interest bearing liabilities increased to
5.08% from 4.77% in the first six months of 1996.

      In summary, total tax-equivalent net interest income increased
$1,303,000 as interest income improved by $5.0 million and interest expense
grew $3.7 million.  The Company's net interest margin for the first six months
was 3.92%, down from 4.07% in the same period in 1996.

     average loan amounts outstanding. Interest on nonaccrual loans is
     recorded when received.
<F2> Interest income on loans includes loan fees, which were not material to
     any period presented.
<F3> Information is presented on a tax-equivalent basis assuming a tax rate
     of 35%.  The tax-equivalent adjustments were approximately $124,000 and
     $125,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     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 1997 was
$1,200,000, up from $850,000 last year. For the first half of 1997 the
provision for possible loan losses was $2,100,000, up from $1,950,000 for the
same period last year.  Higher net loan charge-offs and strong loan growth
during 1997 resulted in the greater provision expense.  The annualized ratio
of net charge-offs to average loans for the first half of 1997 was .28%, up
from .24% last year, while corresponding net loan charge-offs were $1,062,000
and $763,000, respectively.

The allowance for possible loan losses was $13.7 million or 1.62% of loans
outstanding at June 30, 1997. This compares to $12.6 million or 1.73% at the
end of 1996 and $12.0 million or 1.75% at June 30, 1996. 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 1997, total noninterest income was $1,283,000, up
$69,000 from $1,214,000 in the same period in 1996.  Increased service
charges on depository accounts, higher merchant credit card fees and
operating lease income were primarily responsible for the increased total
noninterest income in 1997.

For the first six months of 1997 total noninterest income was $2,547,000, the
same as in the first half of 1996. Net gains of $88,000 were realized on
securities sales in the first half of 1997, down from gains on securities
sales of $441,000 in the first half of 1996.  Included were sales of
securities classified as held to maturity which generated losses of $3,000 in
1996.  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.  Other portions of 1997 noninterest income including service charges,
merchant credit card fees and leasing income were up from prior year levels.
Limiting overall noninterest income increases were lower trading profits and
commissions of $365,000, down from $665,000 in the first half of 1996.  Most
of the downturn was comprised of losses on the Bank's trading activities as
overall commissions from customer activities were similar to the first half
of 1996.

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

Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1997 was $5,238,000, up
$643,000 from $4,595,000 in the first three months of 1996.  For the first
half of 1997 total noninterest expenses were $10,120,000, up $1,077,000 from
the same period in 1996.  Greater personnel and benefit costs and increased
advertising costs associated with the money market deposit promotion which
began May 5 were partially responsible for the 1997 increase in total
overhead costs.  Additional expenses related to the leasing and credit card
merchant activities combined to further increase noninterest expense costs in
the first half of 1997.

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

      As of June 30, 1997, the Company's total shareholders' equity was $83.7
million.  New capital was provided by the Company's net earnings and minimally
by the exercise of stock options.  On April 1, 1997 the Company's 1992, 8%
convertible debentures matured.  Prior to maturity, all debenture holders
elected to convert their debentures into 237,600 shares of the Company's
common stock.  Offsetting the Company's capital accumulation were the payments
of cash dividends on common stock and the recording of unrealized losses, net
of tax, on available for sale securities.  During the first half of 1997 the
fair market values of the Company's available for sale securities declined
from their level at the end of 1996.

      During the first quarter of 1997 the Company formed MVBI Capital Trust
("MVBI Capital"), a statutory business trust.  The Company owns all the common
stock of MVBI Capital.  MVBI Capital sold 598,000 preferred securities, having
a liquidation amount of $25 per security, for a total of $14,950,000.  The
distributions payable on the preferred securities will float with the 3-Month
Treasury plus 2.25%.  All accounts of MVBI Capital are included in the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.  The preferred securities
are considered long-term borrowings and entitled "Guaranteed preferred
beneficial interests in subordinated debentures" for financial report
purposes.  For risk-based capital guidelines the amount is considered to be
Tier I capital.

      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 I 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, 1997 and December 31, 1996 the
Company's Tier I capital was 11.38% and 10.20% of risk-weighted assets, and
total risk-based capital was 12.63% and 11.45% of risk-weighted assets,
respectively.

      The minimum acceptable ratio of Tier I capital to total assets, or
leverage ratio, has been established at 3.00%.  As of June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, the Company's leverage ratio was 8.72% and 7.20%,
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.
