               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, 1998.

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

      Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1999 was $5,647,000,
up $997,000 or 21.4% from the $4,650,000 earned during the second quarter of
1998.  On a per share basis, net income was $.59, up from $.47 in the same
period of the prior year. Greater net income was primarily a result of
increased net interest income.  Increased noninterest income was largely
offset by greater noninterest expense and an increased provision for possible
loan losses.

      Net income for the first half of 1999 was $11,136,000, up $2,046,000 or
22.5% from $9,090,000 for the first half of 1998.  On a per share basis, net
income was $1.16, up from $.92 in the first half of 1998.  Greater  net
interest income and higher noninterest income were the primary contributors
to the improved earnings performance.  The Company's loan loss provision  was
$3,005,000, up from $1,900,000 for the first six months of 1998 because of
significant loan growth. Loans increased $114 million in the first half of
1999 compared with $45 million in the same period in 1998.  Total noninterest
expenses were $13,560,000 for the first six months of 1999, up from
$11,359,000 for the same period in 1998 due to Company growth and operating
costs for the Belleville office which opened in September 1998.

      For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's
return on average assets was 1.58% and 1.57%, up from 1.44% and 1.40% in the
same periods in 1998, respectively.  At June 30, 1999, total equity capital was
$107.8 million, up from $101.1 million at June 30, 1998.  The Company's
return on average equity was 20.67% and 20.14% for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1999, up from 18.67% and 18.53% for the same periods in 1998,
respectively.  Total assets reached $1.50 billion with loans up to $1.04
billion at the end of June, 1999.

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 $64,000, $68,000,
$127,000 and $136,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, and
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,

                                    -9-

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, 1999 AND 1998
- -----------------------------------------

      Total tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended June
30, 1999 was $26,732,000, up $1,193,000 compared to the same period in 1998.
The $146 million increase in the volume of average loans outstanding was
primarily responsible for the increase in interest earnings for the second
quarter of 1999.  Overall asset yields were 7.81% in the second quarter of
1999, down 36 basis points from 8.17% earned in the same period in 1998 as
all asset yields declined from prior year levels.  Funding the Company's loan
growth were increased money market deposits.

      Total interest expense for the second quarter of 1999 was $12,848,000,
down $527,000 from $13,375,000  in the second three months of 1998.  Reducing
the effects of the increased money  market account interest expense were
lower rates paid on all fund sources.

      Overall tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1,720,000 as
interest income rose $1,193,000 and interest expense declined $527,000.  The
Company's net interest margin improved to 4.05%, up 16 basis points from
3.89% in the same period in 1998.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
- ---------------------------------------

      Total tax equivalent interest income for the first six months of 1999
was $52,901,000, up $2,142,000 from $50,759,000 in the same period in 1998.
The $121 million increase in average loans was primarily responsible for
generating the increase in interest earnings from 1998 to 1999.
Across-the-board lower asset yields limited the increase in interest
earnings.  Overall asset yields were 7.81% for the first six months of 1999,
down from 8.14% for the same period in 1998.  Funding the asset growth in the
first half of 1999 were greater money market deposits.

      Total interest expense for the first half of 1999 was $25,600,000, down
$1,270,000 from $26,870,000 in the same period in 1998.  Additional interest
expense generated by increased money market deposits was more than offset by
reduced time deposits and the lower rates paid on all fund sources in 1999.
Overall rates paid on total interest bearing liabilities declined to 4.35%
from 4.94% in the first six months of 1998.

      In summary, total tax-equivalent net interest income increased
$3,412,000 as interest income improved $2.1 million and interest expense grew
$1.3 million.  The Company's net interest margin for the first six months of
1999 was 4.02%, up from 3.83% in the same period in 1998.

     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

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

The provision for possible loan losses for the second quarter of 1999 was
$1,256,000, up from $1,000,000 last year. For the first half of 1999 the
provision for possible loan losses was $3,005,000, up from $1,900,000 for the
same period last year. Greater loan growth and some net loan charge-offs
during 1999 as compared to 1998 resulted in the higher provision expense.
The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans for the first half
of 1999 was .16%, down from .26% last year, while corresponding net loan
charge-offs were $771,000 and $1,129,000, respectively.

The allowance for possible loan losses was $20.4 million or 1.96% of loans
outstanding at June 30, 1999.  This compared to $18.1 million or 1.96% at the
end of 1998, and $15.7 million or 1.76% at June 30, 1998.  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 1999 total noninterest income was $3,599,000, up
sharply from $1,981,000 in the same period in 1998.  Net realized securities
gains of $415,000 were down $94,000 from $509,000 in gains for the second
quarter of 1998.  Trading profits and commissions for the second quarter of
1999 were $1,587,000, up from $186,000 in the same period in 1998.  Hedging
activities begun in the first quarter of 1999 provided $1.2 million of
trading profits and were primarily responsible for the overall increase in
noninterest income for the second quarter.

For the first six months of 1999 total noninterest income was $7,160,000, up
significantly from $3,700,000 in the first half of 1998.  Net losses of
$415,000 were realized on securities sales in 1999 versus net gains of
$681,000 on sales of available for sale securities in the first half of 1998.
During the first quarter of 1999 the Company entered into short positions in
various futures contracts to hedge against anticipated higher interest rates
and the resulting potential impact on the securities portfolio.  Realized
gains on these interest-rate derivative trading activities generated trading
profits and commissions of approximately $3.9 million for the first six
months of 1999.  Other portions of 1999 noninterest income including service
charges, merchant credit card fees and leasing income were also up from prior
year levels.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------
Total noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1999 was $7,142,000, up
$1,340,000 from $5,802,000 in the second three months of 1998.  For the first
half of 1999 total noninterest expenses were $13,560,000, up $2,201,000 from
the same period in 1998.  Greater personnel and benefit costs were primarily
responsible for the increased overhead costs.  Increases were also
experienced in most other categories of noninterest costs.  Overall Company
growth and operating costs for the Belleville office which opened in
September 1998 combined to increase total overhead expenses.

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

As of June 30 1999, the Company's total shareholders' equity was $107.8
million.  New capital was provided by the Company's 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
155,500 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, 1999 and December 31, 1998 the Company's Tier 1
capital was 11.07% and 11.96% of risk-weighted assets, and total risk-based
capital was 12.32% and 13.22% 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, 1999 and December 31,
1998, the Company's leverage ratio was 8.64% and 8.56%, 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.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

Like many financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiaries rely upon
computers for the daily conduct of their business and for data processing
generally.  There is concern among industry experts that commencing on
January 1, 2000, computers will be unable to read the new year and that there
may be widespread computer malfunctions.  In order for computer systems to
function properly, systems must be Year 2000 compliant or able to accurately
identify date information in the 20th and 21st centuries.  The Company has
defined Year 2000 compliant as the ability of software and hardware systems
to correctly receive, process and provide date data within and between the
20th and 21st centuries.  The inability to accurately process data related
information would have a material impact on the Company's operation and
financial condition.  To mitigate the risks of a Year 2000 failure, a Year
2000 action plan has been developed and implemented.

Company Readiness - A comprehensive plan for addressing Year 2000 issues was
formulated, including allocating sufficient human and financial resources to
insure successful implementation.  A detailed inventory was conducted of all
hardware and software products that are utilized by the Company.  An
inventory of equipment that uses embedded computer chips (i.e. facilities)
has been completed.  Hardware and software systems that possess date
sensitive applications were identified and prioritized based on their level
of importance in maintaining financial integrity and in delivery of services
to the Company's customers.  The renovation phase of the plan included
upgrading necessary systems to Year 2000 compliant status, which is 100%
complete.  The Company does not possess any internally developed or
programmed software or hardware.  All hardware and software has been provided
by third parties under licensing agreements.  Upgraded systems that are
certified by the vendor as Year 2000 compliant have and will be installed as
needed.  The testing phase of the plan includes testing all critical hardware
and software systems to validate the compliant and upgraded systems.  In
addition, systems have and will continue to be tested for compatibility with
other system interfaces.

Year 2000 Status - To date, all critical systems have been tested.  Although
most of the Company's significant systems, including general ledger, deposits
and loans would be materially impacted by a year 2000 failure, this risk is
mitigated by vendor Year 2000 certifications and comprehensive internal
testing.  Testing will continue during 1999 on less significant systems and
interfaces with outside parties.

Third Party Exposure - The Company has gathered information about the Year
2000 compliance status of customers with significant credit relationships and
with providers of certain third party services.  To date, the Company is not
aware of any third party service providers or loan customers that would
materially impact the Company's results of operations, liquidity or capital
resources.  However, the Company has no means of ensuring that these entities
will be Year 2000 ready.  The inability of third parties to complete their
Year 2000 programs in a timely manner could materially impact the Company.

Contingency Planning - The Company has existing business continuity plans
that address its response to disruption to business due to natural disasters,
utility outages or other occurrences.  The Company has developed business
continuity plans specific to Year 2000 issues that are based on these
existing plans.  The plans involve, among other actions, manual workarounds
and adjusting staffing strategies. Testing these plans is scheduled to take
place in the third quarter of 1999.  In addition, funding plans have been
developed to insure that adequate levels of liquid assets are available for
customers.

Year 2000 Costs - The total cost of the Year 2000 project is estimated at
$200,000 and is funded through operating cash flows.  To date, the Company
has incurred approximately $160,000 related to all phases of the Year 2000
project.

Overall Year 2000 Risks - Management of the Company believes it has a
reasonably effective program in place to resolve any substantial Year 2000
issues which it has identified.  Disruptions in the economy generally
resulting from Year 2000 issues could adversely affect the Company.  The
Company could be subject to litigation for computer system failures of its
own or a third party with which it does business.  If a major borrower
experiences disruption in its own business, it could have a material impact
on the Company.  The amount of potential liability cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time.

This is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure pursuant to the Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosure Act.  Forward-looking statements contained in this Year 2000
discussion should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statements
included below under the caption "Forward-Looking Statements."

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this report that relate to the plans, objectives or
future performance of Mississippi Valley Bancshares, Inc. may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements are based on Mississippi
Valley Bancshares, Inc.'s current management expectations.  Actual strategies
and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently
expected because of various risks and uncertainties.  Additional discussion
of factors affecting Mississippi Valley Bancshares, Inc.'s business and
prospects is contained in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
