period then ended include the accounts of Lexington B & L Financial Corp., and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, B &L Bank, Lafayette County Bank, and B & L
Mortgage, Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of B&L Bank. This report has been
prepared by Lexington B & L Financial Corp. ("Registrant" or "Company") without
audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the
March 31, 2000, interim financial statements. The results of operations for the
period ended March 31, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results that may be expected for the full year. The consolidated interim
financial statements as of March 31, 2000, should be read in conjunction with
the Registrant's audited consolidated financial statements as of September 30,
1999 and for the year then ended included in the Registrant's 1999 Annual Report
to Shareholders. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation
of the quarterly financial statements are the same as disclosed in the 1999

NOTE D--Earnings Per Share
- --------------------------

Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The following table presents the computation of EPS (in thousands, except for
per share amounts):

NOTE E--Management Recognition and Development Plan
- ---------------------------------------------------

The Board of Directors adopted (November 27, 1996) and the shareholders
subsequently approved (January 27, 1997) a management recognition and
development plan ("MRDP"). Under the MRDP, 50,600 shares of common stock were
awarded to certain directors, officers and employees of the Company and B&L
Bank. The award will not require any payment by the recipients and will vest
over five years beginning one year after the date of the award (June 11, 1997).
At March 31, 2000, 20,245 shares were vested. The Company recognized $30,307 and
$60,613, respectively, as MRDP compensation expense for the three and six months
ended March 31, 2000, and $49,651 and $99,302, respectively, for the three and
six months ended March 31, 1999. The amortization method used attributes a
higher percentage of compensation cost to earlier years than to the later years
of the service period.

NOTE F--Employee Stock Ownership Plan
- -------------------------------------

B & L Bank established an ESOP for the exclusive benefit of participating
employees (all salaried employees who have completed at least 1000 hours of
service in a twelve-month period and have attained the age of 21). The ESOP
borrowed $1,012,000 from the Company to fund the purchase of 101,200 shares of
the Company's common stock. The loan is secured solely by the shares purchased
and will be repaid by the ESOP in equal quarterly installments through of
principal and interest payable at 8.25% through March 2006. B & L Bank makes
quarterly contributions to the ESOP which are equal to the debt service less
dividends received on unallocated ESOP shares. B & L Bank contributes
approximately $149,600, including interest, annually to the ESOP. Shares are
released from collateral and allocated to participating employees, based on the
proportion of loan principal and interest repaid and compensation of the
participants. Forfeitures will be reallocated to participants on the same basis
as other contributions in the plan year. Benefits are payable upon a
participant's retirement, death, disability or separation from service. Since B
& L Bank's annual contributions are discretionary, benefits payable under the
ESOP cannot be estimated.

The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position
("SOP") 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.
Accordingly, the debt and related interest expense of the ESOP are eliminated in
consolidation and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP
shares in the consolidated statements of financial condition. As shares are
committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation
expense equal to the average fair value of the shares committed to be released.
Dividends on allocated shares will be charged to stockholders' equity. Dividends
on allocated shares are recorded as a reduction of the ESOP loan. ESOP expense
was $32,226 and $64,444 for the three and six month periods ended March 31,
2000, respectively, compared to $28,545 and $58,780 for the same periods a
year ago.

A summary of ESOP shares at March 31, 2000 is as follows:

NOTE G--Stock Options
- ---------------------

The Company has authorized the adoption of a stock option plan. Under the stock
option plan, options to acquire 126,500 shares of the Company's common stock may
be granted to certain officers, directors and employees of the Company or B&L
Bank. The options will enable the recipient to purchase stock at an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant. On
June 11, 1997, the Company granted options for 101,200 shares for $15.125 per
share. The options will vest over the five years following the date of grant and
are exercisable for up to ten years. No options have beeen exercised as of
March 31, 2000.

NOTE H--Contingencies
- ---------------------

On March 28, 2000 the Company entered into a contract in the amount of
$2,561,000 for the construction of a new banking facility to be located in
Lexington, Missouri. The new facility is being built to accommodate the merger
of the Company's two banking subsidiaries. Construction is expected to take
approximately 12 months.

Summary

Consolidated net income for the six month period ended March 31, 2000 was
$347,000, an increase of $79,000 or 29.5% over the same period last year. Basic
earnings per share of 45 cents increased 15 cents over a year ago and diluted
earnings per share increased 13 cents to 21 cents per share. The increase in net
income for the six month period can be attributed to a $30,000 increased in net
interest income, a $42,000 increase in non-interest income, and a decline in
non-interest expense of $27,000.

Summary (con't)

Consolidated net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 was
$161,000, a $37,000 or 29.8% increase over the same period last year. Basic
earnings per share of 22 cents increased 8 cents or 57.1% compared to the same
period ended March 31, 1999. Diluted earnings per share of 21 cents, increased
7 cents over the 14 cents per share earned for the three month period ended
March 31, 1999. The increase in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to the same period a year ago was the result of increased non-interest
income and lower non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income

     The following table summarizes the changes in net interest income, by major
categories of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, identifying
changes related to volume and rate. Changes not solely due to volume or rate
changes are allocated pro rata to volume and rate. Management believes this
allocation method, applied on a consistent basis, provides meaningful
comparisons between periods (in thousands):

</TABLE>

     Net interest income for the three and six month periods ended March 31,
2000 was $779,000 and $1,565,000, respectively. Net interest income decreased
$14,000 for the quarter and increased $30,000 for the six month period over the
same periods last year. The decrease in net interest income for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 can be attributed to a lower volume of earning assets
resulting partially from the use of funds to repurchase the Company's common
stock. The net interest spread increased 4 and 6 basis points, respectively, in
the quarter and six month period ended March 31, 2000 compared with the
comparable periods a year ago. The increased in the net interest spread can be
partly attributed to a lower cost of funds resulting from a favorable change in
the mix of funding. The cost of funds decreased 3 basis points during the
quarter and 12 basis points during the six months ended March 31, 2000, compared
to the same periods a year ago.

</TABLE>

    Non performing assets at March 31, 2000 were .74% of total assets, compared
to .43% of total assets at September 30, 1999. Non-accrual loans at March 31,
2000 consisted primarily of residence real estate loans, commercial and
commercial real estate loans.

Provision for Loan Losses/Allowance for Loan Losses

     The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended March 31,
2000 were $14,000 and $26,000, respectively, and unchanged from amounts recorded
in the same periods a year ago. Loan charge offs totaled $10,000 and $17,000 for
three and six month period ended March 31, 2000 compared to $20,000 and $33,000,
respectively, during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1999. Loan
recoveries were $8,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
$4,000 for the same period last year. The allowance for loan losses at March 31,
2000 was $616,000 or .99% of outstanding loans compared to $599,000 or .95% at
September 30, 1999.

Non-Interest Income

     Non-interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 of
$106,000 increased $7,000 over the three month period ended March 31, 1999. For
the six month period ended March 31, 2000 non-interest income of $226,000
increased $42,000 over the $184,000 reported for the same period last year. The
increase in non-interest income resulted from primarily from increases in
service charges and mortgage banking fees.

Non-Interest Expense

     Non-interest expense of $627,000 and $1,251,000, respectively, for the
three and six months ended March 31, 2000, decreased $56,000 and $27,000,
respectively, from the comparable periods a year ago. Salaries and benefit cost
decreased $24,000 and $32,000, respectively, during the three and six months
ended March 31, 2000 from the same periods last year. The decrease in salaries
and benefits is primarily from a reduction in the cost of Management Recognition
and Development Plan. The Management Recognition Development Plan expense of
$30,000 and $61,000, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended
March 31, 2000, decreased $19,000 and $38,000, respectively, from amounts
reported for the same periods last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company's subsidiaries, B & L Bank and Lafayette County Bank, must
maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure availability of sufficient
funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals, satisfy financial
commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities.

     The primary source of liquidity for the Company's subsidiaries is liability
liquidity, which is the ability to raise new funds and renew maturing
liabilities. Principal sources of liability liquidity are customer deposits and
advances from Federal Home Loan Bank, of which both bank subsidiaries are
members. Asset liquidity is typically provided through proceeds from principal
and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities, investment
securities and net operating income. While scheduled maturities and amortization
of loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities are somewhat
predictable source of funds; deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

     Liquid funds necessary for normal daily operations are maintained with the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines ("FLHB") and correspondent banks. Excess
funds over balances required to cover bank charges for services, are sold in
overnight Federal funds or transferred to time deposit accounts at the FHLB.

     At March 31, 2000, total stockholders' equity of $13,956,000 represented
13.2% of total assets compared to $15,110,000 or 14.2% of total assets at
September 30, 1999. These levels of primary capital exceed regulatory
requirements and the Company's peer group average.

B & L Bank

     The Office of Thrift Supervision currently requires a thrift institution to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (cash and eligible
investments) equal to at least 4% of the average daily balance of its net
withdraw able deposits and short-term borrowing. B & L Bank's liquidity ratio
was 18.8% at March 31, 2000. B & L Bank consistently maintains liquidity levels
in excess of regulatory requirements, and believes this is an appropriate
strategy for proper asset and liability management.

     The Office of Thrift Supervision requires institutions such as B & L Bank
to meet certain tangible, core, and risk-based capital requirements. Tangible
capital generally consists of stockholders' equity minus certain intangible
assets. Core capital general consists of stockholders' equity. The risk-based
capital requirements presently address risk related to both recorded assets and
off-balance sheet commitments and obligations. The following table summarizes
B & L Bank's capital ratios and the ratios required by regulation at March 31,
2000.
