          64106.

Item 2.   Identity and Background

          This statement is filed by R. Crosby Kemper ("Mr. Kemper") who is
          United States citizen. Mr. Kemper is Senior Chairman and a director of
          UMBF and his business address is the same address as UMBF. During the
          last five years, Mr. Kemper has not been convicted in a criminal
          proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and
          he has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
          administrative body of competent jurisdiction, where, as a result of
          such proceeding, he was subject to a judgment, decree or final order
          enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
          subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation
          with respect to such laws.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          Not Applicable

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

          Mr. Kemper has been periodically reducing his ownership of UMBF common
          stock for the purpose of diversifying his investment portfolio and
          raising cash. At the present time, Mr. Kemper has no plans to make any
          significant acquisitions or dispositions of UMBF securities. He may,
          however, periodically dispose of additional UMBF securities as
          circumstances dictate. He may also acquire additional UMBF securities
          through the exercise of stock options as said options vest and become
          subject to forfeiture. Mr. Kemper serves as Senior Chairman and is a
          director of UMBF, and, if required, he intends to vote his common
          stock in favor of plans, transactions and matters which he supports.

          relating to an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
          reorganization or liquidation, involving UMBF or any of it
          subsidiaries; the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of
          UMBF or any of its subsidiaries; any change in the present board of
          directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or
          proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any
          vacancies on the board; any material change in present capitalization
          or dividend policy of UMBF; change in UMBF's business or corporate
          structure; changes in UMBF's charter, bylaws or instruments which
          would impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person;
          causing the common stock to be authorized for quotation on NASDAQ or
          eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
          of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or any similar actions.
