                                         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

1.  Change of Company Name and Par Value of Common Stock:

On April 21, 1994 the Company's shareholders approved changing the Company's 
name from United Missouri Bancshares, Inc. to UMB Financial Corporation.  The 
name change was made in order to have a corporate identity which was not 
geographically restrictive and which was consistent with the broad range of 
financial services and products provided by the Company.  On this same date the
shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to
reduce the par value of the Company's common stock per share to $1.00 per share.

2.  Financial Statement Presentation:

At June 30, 1995 the amount of loans that are considered to be impaired under 
SFAS No. 114 was $996,000.  All of these loans are currently on a nonaccrual 
basis.  Included in the impaired loans is $613,000 of loans for which the 
related allowance for loan losses is $240,000.  The remaining $383,000 of 
impaired loans do not have an allowance for loan loss as a result of write-downs
and supporting collateral value.  The average recorded investment in impaired 
loans during the period ended June 31, 1995 was approximately $988,000.  The 
Company has recorded no interest income on its impaired loans for the six months
ended June 30, 1995

5.  Commitments and Contingencies:

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named 
defendants in various lawsuits and counterclaims.  In the opinion of management
after consultation with legal counsel, none of the suits will have a materially 
adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

6.  Subsequent Events:

On August 2, 1995 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the
outstanding shares of First Sooner Bancshares, Inc., a one bank holding company
headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  First Sooner Bancshares is the sole
owner of the Oklahoma Bank, a $129 million-asset bank with three locations in
Oklahoma City. The acquisition, which is structured as a cash transaction,
is expected to close by the first quarter of 1996.

The Comapny also announced that it will adopt a dividend reinvestment plan for
shareholders.  The Company anticipates implementing the dividend reinvestment 
plan later this year after obatining the necessary regulatory approvals.  The
dividend reinvestment plan will be offered by means of an effective prospectus.

period a year earlier. This represents per share earnings  of $0.64 for the 
second quarter of 1995 compared to $0.58 for the second quarter of 1994.
On a year to date basis, 1995 earnings were $24,950,000 or $1.32 per share 
compared to $24,455,000 or $1.27 per share for the prior year.

The Company's net interest income increased on a quarterly and year to date 
basis as a result of an increase in lending activity and the effect of higher 
interest rates.  Non interest income increased only marginally for the second 
quarter and for the year while non interest expense increased by approximately 
4% during both periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
Net interest income totaled $49,654,000 for the second quarter of 1995, a 5.5% 
increase over 1994 second quarter net interest income of $47,053,000.  This 
change is consistent with the year to date increase in net interest income 
which totaled $97,802,000 for the first half of 1995 compared to $92,286,000 
for the same period in 1994.  The improvement in the Company's net interest 
incomewas fueled by an increase in loans and higher interest rates.  During the
second quarter of 1995 loans represented 48% of the Company's interest earning
assets compared to 39% during the second quarter of 1994.  This change in asset
mix is a continuation of a trend resulting from an increased emphasis on lending
activity.  During the twelve months ended June 30, 1995, the Company's consumer
and commercial loans increased 15% and 7%, respectively.  The Company 
also benefited from the overall increase in interest rates in 1995 as compared 
to 1994.  The effect of this benefit can be seen in the effect of interest free
funds on the Company's net interest margin.  The benefit the Company receives
on interest free deposits represented 21% of net interest margin for both the 
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995, compared to approximately 17% 
for the comparable periods in 1994.  The Company's net interest income was also
effected by a reduction in earning assets which averaged $5.0 billion during the
second quarter of 1995 compared to $5.4 billion during the same period in 1994. 
This decrease was the result of a deposit reduction, primarily during 1994,
caused by a very competitive rate environment and the loss of certain deposits
associated with a security processing customer in May of 1995.

The Company's loan loss provision for the second quarter of 1995 was $925,000 
compared to $516,000 for the same period of 1994.  The 1995 year to date loan
loss provision for the Company was $1,851,000 compared to $898,000 for 1994.  
The Company's net losses for the first six months of 1995 were $2,620,000 
compared to $3,511,000 for the first half of 1994. Approximately 75% of the net
losses for 1995 were attributable to bankcard loans.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 
                                  SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 


Non interest income totaled $36,479,000 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1995, compared to $35,523,000 for the same period in 1994.  Trust 
income decreased marginally on a quarterly and year to date basis.  The pricing
of trust services, especially in the employee benefits area, continues to be
very competitive.  Income related to trading and investment banking activities 
increased for the quarter and on a year to date basis.  Transaction volumes for
1995 have increased compared to last year when volumes declined significantly.
Bankcard fees have increased significantly due to a larger volume of merchant
transactions.  The Company's second quarter security gains resulted from the 
sale of various assets held by the parent company and a non bank subsidiary.

Non interest expense totaled $67,374,000 for the second quarter of 1995 
compared to $64,845,000 for the second quarter of 1994.  Staffing related costs 
increased approximately 3% in second quarter 1995 compared to 1994. Staffing
levels decreased during the first six months of the year which should result in 
decreased expenses as this trend continues.  Expenses related to 
bankcard processing increased as a result of an increase in processed 
transactions and costs associated with converting to a new third party 
processing system.  Marketing and business development expense also increased 
during the second quarter, primarily as a result of increased promotion of
lending products and non deposit retail products.  The decrease in other 
expenses was caused by a number of factors associated with the Company's 
increased emphasis on cost containment.  Specific decreases occurred in outside
service fees, franchise taxes and costs related to other real estate.  Changes 
for the second quarter are consistent with results on a year to date basis.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at June 30, 1995, were $5.668 billion compared to $6.241 billion
at June 30, 1994, and $6.599 billion at December 31, 1994.  The decrease in 
assets during the twelve months ended June 30, 1995, was the result of a 
reduction in securities available for sale.  The proceeds of this reduction 
were used to fund a similar reduction in Company deposits.  The decline in 
deposits has been primarily the result of two factors.  A reduction of 
retail transaction accounts due to interest rate competition.  This decrease
primarily occurred during the second half of 1994 and to a lesser extent
during the first quarter of 1995.  In addition, there was a decline in deposits
of approximately $300 million related to a security processing customer.
Total deposits at June 30, 1995, declined $375 million from the previous 
quarter.  This decline was primarily the result of the previously noted deposits
related to security processing.  

Net loans at June 30, 1995, were $2.318 billion compared to $2.160 billion a
year earlier and $2.237 billion at year end 1994.  The Company has experienced 
significant growth in its consumer loan portfolio as these loans have increased 
by 15% during the twelve months ended June 30, 1995.  During the six months 
ended June 30, 1995, loans increased by approximately 4%.  Managements 
objective is to exceed this growth rate during the second half of the year.

The Company's non accrual and restructured loans totaled $4.5 million at 
June 30, 1995, a 47% decrease from the previous year.  Loans over ninety 
days past due amounted to $5.3 million compared to $3.9 million a year earlier.
Other real estate owned decreased to $4.5 million from a total of $6.4 million
at June 30, 1994.  Management does not expect any significant increases in the 
above classification of assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has a high level of liquidity as evidenced by the funding of the 
recent reduction of deposits.  The average maturity of the investment portfolio
(both held to maturity and available for sale) at June 30, 1995, was 18 months.
The Company's loan to deposit ratio has increased to 53.9% from 43.5% at 
June 30, 1994.  This increase was the result of both an increase in loans 
and a reduction of deposits.  The Company has access to various borrowing
markets should there be a need for additional funding.

Shareholders' equity totaled $601 million at June 30, 1995, compared to 
$568 million at June 30, 1994 and $557 million at year end 1994.  During the 
twelve months ended June 30, 1995, the Company increased its treasury stock 
holdings by $14.6 million.  Management will continue to consider treasury 
stock purchases  depending on price, availability and alternative uses of funds.
At June 30, 1995, the net unrealized loss on securities available for sale was
$2.6 million, compared to a loss of $35.2 million at December 31, 1994.

The Company's capital position is summarized in the table below and far 
exceeds regulatory requirements.
