              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
subsidiaries, Southwest Bank of St. Louis (the "Bank") and MVBI Capital
Trust.  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.    In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, that established standards for the
         ------------------------------
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.  This
Statement requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display
the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately in the
equity section of the balance sheet.  This Statement is effective for 1998
and requires reclassification of financial statements for prior periods as
well.  Following is a summary of other comprehensive income components and
related income tax effects:

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, 1997.

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

      Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1998 was $4,650,000,
up $1,153,000 or 33.0% from the $3,497,000 earned during the second quarter
of 1997.  On a per share basis, net income was $.47, up from $.36 in the same
period of the prior year.  Greater net income was primarily a result of the
increased net interest income.  Increased non-interest income was largely
offset by greater levels of non-interest expenses.

      Net income for the first half of 1998 was $9,090,000, up $2,250,000 or
32.9% from $6,840,000 earned for the first half of 1997.  On a per share
basis, net income was $.92, up from $.71 in the first half of 1997.  Greater
net interest income, the principal contributor to the improved earnings
performance, was generated by increased loans outstanding and investment
securities.  The Company's loan loss provision was $1,900,000, down from
$2,100,000 for the first six months of 1997 because overall loan growth for
the first six months of 1998 was down from the level of growth in the same
period of 1997.  Non-interest income for the first six months of 1998 was
$3,700,000, up from $2,547,000 in the same period in 1997.  Increased gains
on sales of available for sale securities and greater net trading profits and
commissions were primarily responsible for the increased non-interest income.
Total non-interest expenses were $11,359,000 for the first six months of
1998, up from $10,120,000 for the same period in 1997 due primarily to
increased salaries and benefits.

      For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's
return on average assets was 1.44% and 1.40%, up from 1.24% and 1.25% in the
same periods in 1997, respectively.  At June 30, 1998, total equity capital
was $101.1 million, up from $83.7 million at June 30, 1997 and $93.1 million
at December 31, 1997.  The Company's return on average equity was 18.67% and
18.53% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998, up from 16.98% and
17.08% for the same periods in 1997, respectively.


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 $68,000, $63,000,
$136,000 and $124,000 for the three months ended June


                                    8
<PAGE> 9

30, 1998 and 1997, and for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
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, 1998 and 1997
- -----------------------------------------

      Total tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended June
30, 1998 was $25,539,000, up $2,376,000 as compared to the same period in
1997.  The $79 million increase in the volume of average loans outstanding
and $73 million increase in investment securities were primarily responsible
for the increase in interest earnings for the second quarter of 1998.
Overall asset yields were 8.17% in the second three months of 1998, down 36
basis points from the 8.53% earned in the same period in 1997.  Reduced
overall asset yields  resulted from both lower loan and security yields in
1998.  Funding the Company's loan and security growth were increased money
market deposits which were raised primarily during the promotion in the last
half of 1997.

      Total interest expense for the second quarter of 1998 was $13,375,000,
up $886,000 from $12,489,000 in the second three months of 1997.  Reducing
the effects of the increased money market account interest expense were lower
levels of time deposits and reduced rates paid on nearly all fund sources.

      Overall tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1,490,000 as
interest income rose $2,376,000 and interest expense was up $886,000.  The
Company's net interest margin declined only slightly to 3.89% in the second
quarter of 1998 from 3.93% in the same period in 1997.

Six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
- ---------------------------------------

      Total tax equivalent interest income for the first six months of 1998
was $50,759,000, up $7,034,000 from $43,725,000 in the same period in 1997.
The $102 million increase in average loans and $94 million increase in
investment securities were responsible for generating the increase in
interest earnings from 1997 to 1998.  Slightly lower overall asset yields
limited the increase in interest earnings. Overall asset yields were 8.14%
for the first six months of 1998, down from 8.37% for the same period in
1997.  Funding the asset growth in the first half of 1998 were the money
market deposits raised during the promotion in the last half of 1997.

      Total interest expense for the first half of 1998 was $26,870,000, up
$3,629,000 from $23,241,000 in the same period in 1997.  Greater money market
deposits were primarily responsible for the increased interest expense.
Slightly lower overall total interest bearing liability rates and reduced
time deposits outstanding offset a portion of the increased interest expense
arising from greater money market accounts.  Overall rates paid on total
interest bearing liabilities declined to 4.94% from 5.08% in the first six
months of 1997.


                                    9
<PAGE> 10

      In summary, total tax-equivalent net interest income increased
$3,405,000 as interest income improved $7.0 million and interest expense grew
$3.6 million.  The Company's net interest margin for the first six months was
3.83%, down from 3.92% in the same period in 1997.

<F1> For purposes of these computations, nonaccrual loans are included in the
     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 $136,000 and

 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 1998 was
$1,000,000, down from $1,200,000 last year. For the first half of 1998 the
provision for possible loan losses was $1,900,000, down from $2,100,000 for
the same period last year.  Slightly higher net loan charge-offs and reduced
loan growth during 1998 as compared to 1997 resulted in the lower provision
expense.  The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for the
first half of 1998 was .26%, down from .28% last year, while corresponding
net loan charge-offs were $1,129,000 and $1,062,000, respectively.

The allowance for possible loan losses was $15.7 million or 1.76% of loans
outstanding at June 30, 1998.  This compared to $14.9 million or 1.76% at the
end of 1997, and $13.7 million or 1.62% at June 30, 1997.  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 1998 total noninterest income was $1,981,000, up
from $1,283,000 in the same period in 1997. Net realized securities gains of
$509,000 in 1998 compared to net securities losses of $20,000 in the second
quarter of 1997 accounted for a large portion of the increase. Most other
noninterest income categories were also up, though not as dramatically, in
the second quarter of 1998.

For the first six months of 1998 total noninterest income was $3,700,000, up
sharply from $2,547,000 in the first half of 1997. Net gains of $681,000 were
realized on securities sales in the first half of 1998, up from gains on
securities sales of $88,000 in the first half of 1997. Other portions of 1998
noninterest income including service charges, merchant credit card fees and
leasing income were also up from prior year levels. Trading profits and
commissions were $608,000 in the first half of 1997, up substantially from
$365,000 in the same period in 1997. Overall commissions from customer
activities were up in 1998 compared to 1997. Limiting 1997's trading earnings
were losses on the Bank's trading activities of approximately $294,000.
Mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate derivative trading activities
reduced 1998 earnings by approximately $143,000.

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

Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1998 was $5,802,000, up
$564,000 from $5,238,000 in the second three months of 1997. For the first
half of 1997 total noninterest expenses were $11,359,000, up $1,239,000 from
the same period in 1997. Greater personnel and benefit costs were primarily
responsible for the increased overhead costs. Increases were also experienced
in most other categories of noninterest costs, however the Company still
improved its efficiency ratio to 41.17% in the first half of 1998 from 43.94%
in the same period of 1997.

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

      As of  June 30, 1998, the Company's total shareholders' equity was
$101.1 million.  New capital was provided by the Company's first half net
earnings and by the exercise of stock options.  Offsetting the Company's
capital accumulation were the payments of cash dividends on common stock and
the repurchase of 27,000 shares of common stock in connection with the
Company's stock repurchase plan.

      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 reporting purposes.  For risk-based capital guidelines the amount
is considered to be Tier 1 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 1 capital equal or exceed
4.00% of risk-weighted assets, and that the risk-based capital ratio equal or
exceed 8.00%.  As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the Company's Tier 1
capital was 12.12% and 11.98% of risk-weighted assets, and total risk-based
capital was 13.37% and 13.23% 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, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, the Company's leverage ratio was 8.73% and 8.04%,
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.
