                    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, 1999.

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

    Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2000 was $5,479,000, up
$98,000 or 1.8% from $5,381,000 earned during the third quarter of 1999.  On
a per share basis, net income was $.58, up from $.57 in the same period in
the prior year.  Increased net interest earnings were largely offset by a
greater provision for possible loan losses and greater noninterest income was
offset by increased noninterest expenses.

    Net income for the first nine months of 2000 was $16,923,000, up $406,000
or 4.0% from $16,517,000 for the first nine months of 1999.  On a per share
basis, net income was $1.80, up from $1.73 in the first nine months of 1999.
Greater net interest income and a reduced provision for possible loan losses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were the principal contributors
to the improved earnings performance.  Limiting the benefits of greater net
interest income were increased noninterest expenses.  Total noninterest
expenses were $23,493,000 for the first nine months of 2000, up from
$20,471,000 for the same period in 1999 due to Company growth and operating
costs for the Des Peres office which opened in the fourth quarter of 1999.

    For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Company's
return on average assets was 1.23% and 1.34%, down from 1.42% and 1.52% in
the same periods in 1999, respectively.  At September 30, 2000, total equity
capital was $129,929,000, up from $110,253,000 at September 30, 1999.  The
Company's return on average equity was 17.22% and 18.57% for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2000, down from 19.55% and 19.95% for the
same periods in 1999, respectively.  Total assets reached $1,824,216,000 with
loans up to $1,292,429 at the end of September 2000.

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 $70,000, $55,000,
$213,000 and $182,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
and for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, 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 September 30, 2000 and 1999
----------------------------------------------

    Total tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended September
30, 2000 was $36,699,000, up $8,216,000 compared to the same period in 1999.
The $218 million increase in average loans and higher yields earned on nearly
all assets were primarily responsible for generating the increase in interest
earnings from 1999 to 2000.  Increased investment securities also contributed
to greater interest earnings for the third quarter of 2000.  Overall asset
yields were 8.61% in the three months ended September 30, 2000, up 82 basis
points from 7.79% earned in the same period in 1999 as nearly all asset
yields rose in the 2000 upward interest rate cycle.  Funding the Company's
loan growth were increased money market deposits.

    Total interest expense for the third quarter of 2000 was $21,945,000, up
$7,615,000 from $14,330,000 in the same period in 1999.  Increased money
market deposits and the higher rates paid on nearly all fund sources were
responsible for the greater interest expense costs in 2000.

    Overall tax-equivalent net interest income increased only $601,000 as the
rise in interest income was largely offset by the interest expense increase.
The Company's net interest margin declined to 3.47%, down 40 basis points
from 3.87% in the same period in 1999 primarily due to the greater increase
in rates paid than in yields earned.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
---------------------------------------------

    Total tax-equivalent interest income for the first nine months of 2000
was $102,323,000, up $20,939,000 from $81,384,000 in the same period in 1999.
The $190 million increase in average loans and higher yields earned on assets
were primarily responsible for generating the increase in interest earnings
from 1999 to 2000.  Overall asset yields were 8.51% for the first nine months
of 2000, up from 7.80% for the same period in 1999.  Funding the asset growth
were increased money market accounts and time deposits.

    Total interest expense for the first nine months of 2000 was $58,394,000,
up $18,463,000 from $39,931,000 in the same period in 1999.  Increased
deposits and short-term borrowings along with the higher rates paid on nearly
all fund sources combined to advance interest expense costs in 2000.
Overall, rates paid on total interest bearing liabilities rose to 5.47% from
4.38% in the first nine months of 1999.

    In summary, total tax-equivalent net interest income increased $2,476,000
as the increased interest income was offset to a large degree by the interest
expense increase.  The Company's net interest margin for the first nine
months of 2000 was 3.65%.

    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 third quarter of 2000 was
$1,230,000, up from $803,000 last year. For the nine months of 2000 the
provision for possible loan losses was $2,560,000, down from $3,808,000 for
the same period last year.

    The allowance for possible loan losses was $22,578,000 or 1.75% of loans
outstanding at September 30, 2000.  This compared to $21,649,000 at the end
of 1999, and $20,927,000 at September 30, 1999 each 1.96% of loans
outstanding.  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:

of 2000 were $261,000 down from $1,284,000 in the same period in 1999.
Hedging activities begun in the first quarter of 1999 provided $910,000 of

hedging activities in the third quarter of 2000.  Other noninterest income in

included in the third quarter of 1999.  Merchant credit card income and
operating lease income were also up in 2000 compared with 1999.

    For the first nine months of 2000, total noninterest income was
$9,198,000, down slightly from $9,281,000 in the same period in 1999.
Realized gains on interest-rate derivative trading activities generated
trading profits of $4,810,000 for the first nine months of 1999 compared with
$632,000 in 2000.  Net gains of $1,148,000 were realized on securities sales
in 2000 versus net losses of $1,075,000 on sales of available for sale

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

    As of September 30, 2000, the Company's total shareholders' equity was
$129.9 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 51,200 shares of common stock in connection with the Company's
stock repurchase plan.

    The Company formed MVBI Capital Trust ("MVBI Capital"), a statutory
business trust in 1997.  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%. 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 September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 the Company's
Tier 1 capital was 10.42% and 10.97% of risk-weighted assets, and total
risk-based capital was 11.68% and 12.23% 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 September 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, the Company's leverage ratio was 8.10% and 8.40%,
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.
