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 June 30, 2000, 30,365 shares were vested. The Company recognized $26,008 and
$86,621, respectively, as MRDP compensation expense for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2000, and $43,204 and $142,506, respectively, for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 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 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 unallocated shares are recorded as a reduction of the ESOP loan. ESOP expense
was $26,812 and $91,256 for the three and nine-month periods ended June 30,
2000, respectively, compared to $28,177 and $86,958 for the same periods a year
ago.

A summary of ESOP shares at June 30, 2000 is as follows:

Shares Allocated                           34,747

Shares released for allocation              7,668

Unreleased shares                          58,785

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

Under the Company's 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 June 30, 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 be
completed in December 2000. As of June 30, 2000, a total of $130,000 has been
paid to date.

Summary

Consolidated net income for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2000 was
$587,000, an increase of $171,000 or 41.1% over the same period last year. Basic
earnings per share of 78 cents increased 32 cents over a year ago and diluted
earnings per share increased 30 cents to 76 cents per share. The increase in net
income for the nine-month period can be attributed to a $149,000 increase in net
interest income, a $12,000 increase in non-interest income, and a decline in
non-interest expense of $83,000.

Summary (con't)

Consolidated net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 was
$240,000, a $92,000 or 62.2% increase over the same period last year. Basic
earnings per share of 34 cents increased 18 cents compared to the same period
ended June 30,1999. Diluted earnings per share of 33 cents, increased 17 cents
over the 16 cents per share earned for the three month period ended June 30,
1999. The increase in net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 compared to

income and a decline of $56,000 in 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):

Net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended June 30,
2000 was $842,000 and $2,407,000, respectively. Net interest income increased
$94,000 and $149,000, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended
June 30, 2000 over the same periods last year. The increase in net interest
income for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2000 can be attributed to
an improvement in the net interest spread. The net interest spread increased 56
and 26 basis points, respectively, in the quarter and nine-month periods ended
June 30, 2000, over the comparable periods a year ago. The increased in the net
interest spread can be partly attributed to a higher yield on earning assets.
For the quarter the cost of funds increased one basis point and decreased six
basis points for the nine months ended June 30, 2000, compared to the same
periods a year ago.

</TABLE>

Non-performing assets at June 30, 2000 were .46% of total assets, compared to
 .43% of total assets at September 30, 1999. Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2000
consisted primarily of residential real estate loans, commercial and commercial
real estate loans.

Provision for Loan Losses/Allowance for Loan Losses

   The provisions for loan losses for the three and nine months ended June 30,
2000 were $16,000 and $42,000, respectively, compared to a $26,000 provision for
the nine month period and no provision in the three month period ended June 30,
1999. Loan charge offs totaled $8,000 and $25,000 for three and nine-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 compared to $15,000 and $48,000, respectively,
during the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1999. Loan recoveries for
the three and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2000 were $1,000 and $9,000,
respectively, compared to $18,000 and $22,000, respectively, for the same three
and nine month-periods ended last year. The allowance for loan losses at June
30, 2000 was $625,000 or .98% of outstanding loans compared to $599,000 or .95%
at September 30, 1999. The increased provisions for loan losses can be
attributed to a $1,313,000 increase in outstanding loans since September 30,
1999. At June 30, 2000, non-preforming loans totalled $479,000 or .75% of total
loans, compared to $657,000 or 1.04% of total loans at June 30, 1999.

Non-Interest Income

   Non-interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 of
$137,000 decreased $5,000 from the three month period ended June 30, 1999. For
the nine-month period ended June 30, 2000, non-interest income of $363,000
increased $12,000 over the $351,000 reported for the same period last year. The
increase in non-interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 resulted
primarily from increases in service charges and other fees.

Non-Interest Expense
   Non-interest expense of $600,000 and $1,851,000, respectively, for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 2000, decreased $56,000 and $83,000,
respectively, from the comparable periods a year ago. Salaries and benefit cost
decreased $39,000 and $70,000, respectively, during the three and nine months
ended June 30, 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
$26,000 and $87,000, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended June
30, 2000, decreased $17,000 and $56,000, respectively, from amounts reported for
the same periods last year.

   The operating expense efficiency ratio, non-interest expense less
amortization of goodwill divided by net revenue, was 59.4% and 64.8%,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2000, a
significant improvement over the 71.7% and 72.0%, respectively, for the same
periods a year ago. The improvement in the expense efficiency ratio can be
attributed to lower operating expenses and to an increase in net revenues.

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 June 30, 2000, total stockholders' equity of $13,715,000 represented 13.3%
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 15.2% at June 30, 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 June 30,
2000.
