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, 1999.

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

    Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $5,531,000,
down $116,000 or 2.1% from $5,647,000 earned during the second quarter of
1999.  On a per share basis, net income was $.59 in the second quarter of
each year.  Increased net interest income and a reduced provision for
possible loan losses were offset by reduced noninterest income and higher
overhead expense.

    Net income for the first half of 2000 was $11,444,000, up $308,000 or
2.8% from $11,136,000 for the first half of 1999.  One a per share basis, net
income was $1.22, up from $1.16 in the first half of 1999.  Greater net
interest income and a lower provision for loan losses were the primary
contributors to the improved earnings performance.  The Company's loan loss
provision was $1,330,000, down from $3,005,000 for the first six months of
1999 primarily because of net loan recoveries of $557,000 in 2000 compared
with net loan charge-offs of $771,000 in the first half of 1999.  Total
noninterest income was $6,119,000 for the first six months of 2000, down from
$7,160,000 for the same period in 1999 due primarily to reduced profits on
derivative trading activities.  Total noninterest expenses were $15,652,000
for the first six months of 2000, up from $13,560,000 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 six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's return
on average assets was 1.30% and 1.40%, down from 1.58% and 1.57% in the same
periods in 1999, respectively.  At June 30, 2000, total equity capital was
$122,511,000, up from $107,794,000 at June 30, 1999.  The Company's return on
average equity was 18.35% and 19.30% for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 2000, down from 20.67% and 20.14% for the same periods in 1999,
respectively.  Total assets reached $1,797,537,000 with loans up to
$1,257,293,000 at the end of June, 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, $64,000,
$143,000 and $127,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and
for the six months ended June 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 June 30, 2000 and 1999
-----------------------------------------

    Total tax-equivalent interest income for the three months ended June 30,
2000 was $34,526,000, up $7,794,000 compared to the same period in 1999.  The
$177 million increase in the volume of average loans and the higher yields
earned thereon were primarily responsible for the increase in interest
earnings for the second quarter of 2000.  Overall asset yields were 8.55% in
the second three months of 2000, up 74 basis points from 7.81% earned in the
same period in 1999 as nearly all asset yields rose in the current upward
interest rate cycle.  Funding the Company's loan growth were increased money
market and time deposits.

    Total interest expense for the second quarter of 2000 was $20,049,000, up
$7,201,000 from $12,848,000 in the second three months of 1999.  Increased
deposits and the higher rates paid on all fund sources, particularly money
market deposits, were responsible for the greater interest expense costs in
2000.

    Overall tax-equivalent net interest income increased only $593,000 as the
rise in interest income was largely offset by the interest expense increase.
The Company's net interest margin declined to 3.58%, down 47 basis points
from 4.05% in the same period in 1999 primarily due to the greater increase
in rates paid than in yields earned.

Six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
---------------------------------------

    Total tax-equivalent interest income for the first six months of 2000 was
$65,624,000, up $12,723,000 from $52,901,000 in the same period in 1999.  The
$176 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.  Overall asset yields were 8.46% for the first
six months of 2000, up from 7.81% for the same period in 1999.  Funding the
asset growth in the first half of 2000 were increased money market accounts
and time deposits.

    Total interest expense for the first half of 2000 was $36,449,000, up
$10,849,000 from $25,600,000 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 the first half of 2000.
Overall rates paid on total interest bearing liabilities rose to 5.31% from
4.35% in the first six months of 1999.

    In summary, total tax-equivalent net interest income increased $1,874,000
as the increased interest income was offset to a significant degree by the
interest expense increase.  The Company's net interest margin for the first
six months of 2000 was 3.76%, down from 4.02% in the same period in 1999.

    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 2000 was
$561,000, down from $1,256,000 last year. For the first half of 2000 the
provision for possible loan losses was $1,330,000, down from $3,005,000 for
the same period last year. Because of net loan recoveries of $557,000 in 2000
and net loan charge-offs of $771,000 in the first half of 1999, the Company
reduced its loan loss provision expense in 2000.

    The allowance for possible loan losses was $23,536,000 or 1.87% of loans
outstanding at June 30, 2000.  This compared to $21,649,000 at the end of
1999, and $20,378,000 at June 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:

    For the second quarter of 2000 total noninterest income was $2,896,000, down
$703,000 from $3,599,000 in the same period in 1999.  The Company had trading

Merchant credit card income and operating lease income were also up in 2000
compared with 1999.

    For the first six months of 2000 total noninterest income was $6,119,000,
down from $7,160,000 in the first half of 1999.  Realized gains on
interest-rate derivative trading activities generated trading profits and
commissions of $3,901,000 for the first six months of 1999 compared with
$632,000 in 2000.  Net gains of $919,000 were realized on securities sales in
2000 versus net losses of $415,000 on sales of available for sale securities in
the first half of 1999.  Other portions of 2000 noninterest income including
merchant credit card fees, leasing income and commissions and fees from
customer securities activities were up from 1999.

the increase.

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

    As of June 30, 2000, the Company's total shareholders' equity was $122.5
million.  New capital was provided by the Company's first quarter 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 47,400 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 June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 the Company's Tier 1
capital was 10.29% and 10.97% of risk-weighted assets, and total risk-based
capital was 11.54% 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 June 30, 2000 and
December 31, 1999, the Company's leverage ratio was 8.18% 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.
