(1)  Landmark Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
     ---------------------------------------

     Landmark Financial Corp. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of
     the state of Delaware for the purpose of becoming the savings and loan    
     holding company of Landmark Community Bank, a Savings Bank (the Bank) in  
     connection with the Bank's conversion from a federally chartered          
     mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank, pursuant 
     to its Plan of Conversion.  On August 12, 1997, the Company commenced a 
     Subscription and Community Offering of its shares in connection with the 
     conversion of the Bank (the Offering).  The Offering was consummated and  
     the Company acquired the Bank on November 13, 1997.  The Company had no   
     assets prior to the conversion and acquisition on November 13, 1997.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the      
     three months and six months ended September 30, 1998, and the statements  
     of financial condition as of September 30 and March 31, 1998,             
     respectively include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.  The       
     accompanying statements of operations and cash flows for the three months 
     and six months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, are of the Bank.

(2)  Basis of Preparation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were         
     prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB.  To the extent  
     that information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  
     principles for complete financial statements are contained in or          
     consistent with the audited financial statements incorporated by          
     reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year      
     ended March 31, 1998, such information and footnotes have not been        
     duplicated herein.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments         
     consisting only of normal recurring accruals which are necessary for the  
     fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. 
     The consolidated statements of operations for the three month period and 
     six month period ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative  
     of the results which may be expected for the entire year.  The March 31,  
     1998 balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements 
     as of that date.

(3)  Earnings Per Share
     ------------------

     On November 13, 1997, 152,000 shares of the Company's stock were          
     issued, including 12,160 shares issued to the Employees Stock Ownership   
     Plan (ESOP).  Income per share amounts for the three month and six month  
     periods ended September 30, 1998 are based upon 140,651 shares exclusive  
     of 11,349 unearned shares issued to the ESOP, as though those shares were
     outstanding for the entire period.

(4)  Stockholders' Equity and Stock Conversion
     -----------------------------------------
     The Bank converted from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a    
     federally chartered stock savings bank pursuant to its Plan of Conversion 
     which was approved by the Bank's members on September 23, 1997.  The      
     conversion was effective on November 23, 1997 and resulted in the         
     issuance of 152,000 shares of common stock (par value $0.10) at $10.00    
     per share for a gross sales price of $1,520,000.  Cost related to         
     conversion (primarily underwriters' commissions, printing and             
     professional fees) aggregated $311,967 and were deducted to arrive at the 
     net proceeds of $1,086,433 net of the ESOP loan.  The company established 
     an employee stock ownership trust which purchased 12,160 shares of common 
     stock of the Company at the issuance price of $10.00 per share with funds 
     borrowed from the Bank.

(5)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
     -----------------------------
     All employees meeting age and service requirements are eligible to        
     participate in an ESOP established on November 23, 1997.  Contributions   
     made by the Bank to the ESOP are allocated to participants by a formula   
     based on compensation.  Participant benefits become 100% vested after     
     five years.  ESOP expenses for the three and six month periods ended      
     September 30, 1998 were $1,946 and $3,973, respectively.  There was no    
     ESOP expense for the period ended September 30, 1997.

              ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion compares the financial condition of Landmark
Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Landmark Community Bank, a
Savings Bank, (collectively the Bank) at September 30, 1998 to the financial
condition at March 31, 1998, its fiscal year-end, and the results of
operations for the three month and six month periods ended September 30, 1998,
with the same periods in fiscal 1997.  This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the interim financial statements and notes which are included
herein.

During August and September 1997, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS)
conducted its previously scheduled routine safety and soundness on-sight
examination of the Bank.  During the course of its examination OTS examiners
raised a number of concerns and noted certain deficiencies in the Bank's
operations.  As a result of the examination the Bank had agreed with the OTS
not to originate any new consumer or commercial loans and to limit one-to-four
family loan origination's to no more than $200,000  per month.  Management has
addressed the concerns of the OTS and full operational lending authority was
restored effective February 10, 1998.

General
- -------

Landmark Financial Corp. was organized as a Delaware corporation in June 1997
to acquire all of the capital stock issued by Landmark Community Bank upon its
conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership.  Landmark Community
Bank was founded in 1925 as a New York chartered savings and loan association
located in Canajoharie, New York.  In 1997, its members voted to convert to a
federal charter.  The business of the holding company consists primarily of
the business of the Bank.  The Bank conducts its business through its main
office located at 211 Erie Blvd., Canajoharie, Montgomery County, New York. 
The Bank has been, and intends to continue to be, a community oriented 
financial institution offering selected financial services to meet the needs
of the communities it serves.  The Bank attracts deposits from the general
public and historically has used such deposits, together with other funds,
primarily to originate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans,
construction and land loans for single- family residential properties, and
consumer loans consisting primarily of loans secured by automobiles.  While
the Bank's primary business has been that of a traditional thrift 
institution, originating loans in its primary market area for retention in its
portfolio, the Bank also has been an active participant in the origination of 
consumer loans primarily for the purchase of automobiles.

The most significant factors influencing the operations of the Bank and other
financial institutions include general economic conditions, competition in the
local market place and the related monetary and fiscal policies of agencies
that regulate financial institutions.  More specifically, the cost of funds
primarily consisting of insured deposits is influenced by interest rates on
competing investments and general market rates of interest, while lending
activities are influenced by the demand for real estate financing and other
types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such
loans may be offered and other factors affecting loan demand and funds
availability.

Financial Condition
- --------------------

Total assets increased $2.24 million, or 13.3%, to $19.05 million at September
30, 1998 from $16.81 million at March 31, 1998.  The increase in assets is
primarily due to increases in loans receivable, premises and equipment, and
investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in interest bearing
deposits. 

Loans receivable, net, increased by $2.47 million, or 18.1%, to $16.11 million
at September 30, 1998 from $13.64 million at March 31, 1998, primarily due to
increases in consumer loans of $1.58 million, an increase in commercial loans
of $375,000, and an increase in one-to-four family portfolio loans of
$518,000.

Premises and equipment increased $309,000.  On August 24, 1998 Landmark 
Community Bank moved to an entirely new facility owned by the bank and located
at 211 Erie Blvd., Canajoharie, NY.

Investment securities increased $202,000, or 18.3% to $1.31 million at
September 30, 1998 from $1.10 million at March 31, 1998.  Interest bearing
deposits decreased $1.23 million to partially fund the growth in the above
mentioned assets.

Deposits increased $2.29 million, or 15.7%, to $16.92 million at September
30,1998 from $14.63 million at March 31, 1998.  The increase in deposits is
primarily attributable to an increase in local deposits of $2.07 million held
by the bank in the form of certificates of deposit, and an increase in DDA
checking account deposits of $396,000.  Savings accounts decreased $163,000.

Total equity increased $1,302 or 0.06%, to $2,061,657 at September 30, 1998
from $2,059,355 at March 31, 1998, primarily due to an increase in the
unrealized gain of $22,918 on Available-for-Sale Securities, which was offset
by a net loss for the six months ended September 30, 1998 of $25,589 and the
allocation of $3,973 for ESOP shares.

     Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months and Six Months 
      Ended September 30, 1998 and the Three Months and Six Months Ended       
                           September 30, 1997
     -------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Summary.  The Company's net income decreased $1,642 to a loss of
$7,963 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, compared to a net loss
of $6,321 for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  The increase in net
loss for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same
period in 1997 is primarily due to an increase in non-interest expense of
$29,983 which was partially offset by an increase in net interest income of
$27,767.  The net loss increased $17,990 to $24,469 for the six months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to a loss of $6,479 for the same period in
fiscal year 1997.  The decrease in earnings is primarily due to the increase
in non-interest expense of $70,340 and a decrease in gain on sale of
investment securities of $12,411, partially offset by the increase in net
interest income of $74,979.

Net Interest Income.  The Company's net interest income increased $27,767, or
20.6%, to $162,462 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, from
$134,695 for the three months ended September 30, 1997.  For the six months
ended September 30, 1998, net interest income increased $74,979, or 31.1%,
from $241,416 for the same period in fiscal 1997.  The increases in net
interest income reflect an increase of $48,733 in interest income and a
corresponding increase of $20,966 in interest expense for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997, and an
increase of $166,636 in interest income and an increase of $91,657 in interest
expense for the six months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the same
period in 1997.  The increase in interest income reflects increased balances
of loans receivable, primarily consumer auto loans and one-to-four family
mortgages.  Interest expense increased primarily due to the increase in
deposits. 

Provision for Loan Losses.  During the three months ended September 30, 1998,
the Bank charged $11,721 against earnings as a provision for loan losses
compared to a provision of $12,000 charged against earnings for the three
months ended September 30, 1997.  For the six months ended September 30, 1998
the Bank charged $30,168 against earnings as a provision for losses compared
to $12,000 charged against earnings for the six months ended September 30,
1997.  The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1998 is .89% of loans
receivable, as compared to .89% of loans receivable, at March 31, 1998.  Total
non-performing loans at September 30, 1998 are $4,000, or .02% of loans
receivable, as compared to total non-performing loans at March 31, 1998 of
144,000 or 1.05% of loans receivable.

Management regularly reviews the loan portfolio, including problem loans, and
changes in the relative makeup of the loan portfolio to determine whether any
loans require classification or the establishment of additional reserves. 
Management will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and make
future additions to the allowance as economic conditions dictate.  Although
the Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers
to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that
future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional provisions
for loan losses will not be required in future periods.

Non-interest Income.  For the three months ended September 30, 1998,
non-interest income decreased $405 or 4.9%, to $7,791 from $8,196 for the same
period in 1997.  For the six months ended September 30, 1998, non-interest
income decreased $11,316 or 34.6% from $32,662 for the same period in 1997. 
The decrease is primarily due to gain realized in the six months ended
September 30, 1997 on the sale of trading investment securities in the amount
of $12,411. No investment securities were sold in the six months ended
September 30, 1998, although there are unrealized gains of $27,954 reflected
on the Statement of Financial Condition for September 30, 1998 compared to
$5,036 on March 31, 1998.

Non-interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased $29,983 or 21.5%, to
$169,495 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 from $139,512 for the
same period in 1997.  The increase was primarily due to increases in employee
compensation and related benefits and increases in other expenses primarily
related to the increased operating expenses of a stock savings bank. 
Non-interest expense increased $70,340 or 26.0% for the six months ended
September 30, 1998 from $270,857 in the same period in 1997, primarily due to
the increases in compensation and expenses related to a stock savings bank.

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense, (benefit) decreased $700 to ($3,000) for
the three months end September 30, 1998, from ($2,300) for the same period in
1997.  For the six months ended September 30, 1998 the tax benefit was
($9,155) compared to ($2,300) for the six months ended September 30, 1997.

Non-performing Assets
- ---------------------

On September 30, 1998, non-performing assets were $106,000 compared to
$144,000 on March 31, 1998.  The non-performing assets consisted of loans of
$4,000 and repossessed or foreclosed assets of $102,000.  The balance of the
Bank's allowance for loan losses was $144,677 or 136.5% of non-performing
assets and 3,616.7% of non-performing loans as of September 30, 1998.  Loans
are considered non-performing when the collection of principal and/or interest
is not probable, or in the event payments are more than ninety days 
delinquent. 

Capital Resources
- -----------------

The Bank is subject to three capital to asset requirements in accordance with
OTS regulations.  The following table is a summary of the Bank's regulatory
capital requirements versus actual capital as of September 30, 1998 and March
31, 1998, respectively:

Liquidity
- ---------

The Bank's principal sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans, deposits in other insured institutions and investment
securities.  While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are
relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan prepayments are more
influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. 
Additional sources of funds may be obtained from the FHLB of New York by
utilizing numerous available products to meet funding needs.

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by
regulations.  The required percentage is currently 5.0% of net withdrawable
savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less.  The
Bank has maintained its liquidity ratio at levels exceeding the minimum
requirement.  The eligible liquidity ratios at September 30, 1998 and March
31, 1998 were 16.14% and 18.90%, respectively.

In light of the competition for deposits, the Bank may utilize the funding
source of the FHLB to meet demand in accordance with the Bank's growth plans. 
The wholesale funding sources may allow the Bank to obtain a lower cost of
funding and create a more efficient liability match to the respective assets
being funded.

For the purpose of the cash flow statement, all short-term investments with a
maturity of three months or less at date of purchase are considered cash
equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents for the periods ended September 30,
1998 and March 31, 1998 were $658,729 and $1,530,236, respectively.  The
decrease was primarily due to the fact that an increase in deposits of $2.2
million was offset by an increase in loans receivable of $2.5 million and
increases in Premises and Equipment net of accumulated depreciation of
$309,000, and investment securities of $202,000. 

Net cash provided (used) by operating activities decreased to $(128,303) at
September 30, 1998, from $(135,624) at September 30, 1997.

Year 2000
- ---------

The Bank has conducted a review of its computer systems in order to determine
which systems could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue, and developed an
implementation plan to resolve any identified problem.  The testing phase of
the implementation plan is currently under way.  The "Year 2000" problem is
the result of computer programs that were written using a two digit field
rather than a four digit field to define the year.  For example, programs that
have date-sensitive fields may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather than the year 2000.  The results of this programming error could be
system failure or miscalculation.  Management believes that with modifications
to existing software and by converting to new hardware, the "Year 2000"
problem will not pose significant operational problems for the Bank.  Given
the Bank's interdependence on a third-party service provider, the internal
costs related to the Bank's Year 2000 efforts will consist primarily of
accelerating various hardware and software upgrades which generally would have
been incurred in the normal course of business, and testing various
information systems.  The upgrades for hardware and software will be
substantially in place by December 31, 1998.  Management believes that the
internal costs necessary to address the "Year 2000" issue have been identified
and these costs have been estimated to be approximately $20,000.  Management
cannot guarantee that any third-party service provider will be Year 2000 ready
other than through assurances provided from the  third party service provider
to the Company.  All third party providers have been contacted and the Company
has received such assurances.

Recent Developments
- -------------------

FASB Statement on Employer Disclosures about Pensions and Post-retirement 
Benefits In February, 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132 which standardizes
the disclosure requirements for pensions and other post- retirement benefits;
requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair
values of plan assets; and eliminates certain present disclosure requirements. 
The Statement does not change the measurement or recognition requirements for
post-retirement benefits.  SFAS No. 132 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997 and, accordingly, will be adopted by the
Company in the year ending March 31, 1999.  Management does not expect that
this standard will significantly affect the Company's financial reporting. 

FASB Statement on Derivatives and Hedging Activities - In June, 1998, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 133 which establishes accounting and reporting standards for 
derivative instruments and for hedging activities.  The Statement requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in
the balance sheet at fair value.  If certain conditions are met, a derivative
may be specifically designated as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge, or a
foreign currency hedge.  Entities may reclassify securities from the held-to-
maturity category to the available-for-sale category at the time adopting SFAS
No. 133.  SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999 and, accordingly, would apply to the Company
beginning on April 1, 2000.  The Company plans to adopt the standard at that
time and does not presently intend to reclassify securities between
categories.  The Company has not engaged in derivatives and hedging activities
covered by the new standard, and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable
future.  Accordingly, SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

FASB Statement on Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization
Of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise - In October,
1998 the FASB issued SFAS No. 134 which amends SFAS No. 65 "Accounting for
Certain Mortgage Banking Activities".  Statement No. 65, as amended by
Statement No. 115 and Statement No. 125, required that after securitization of
a mortgage loan held for sale, a mortgage banking enterprise classify the
resulting security as a trading security.  Statement No. 134 amends this
section to require that after the securitization of mortgage loans held for
sale, the entity classify the resulting mortgage-backed security or other
retained interest based on its ability and intent to sell or hold those
investments.  SFAS 134 is effective for the first quarter beginning after
December 15, 1998 and accordingly would apply to the Company for the year
ending March 31, 1999.  The Company has not engaged in retaining securities
after the securitization of its mortgage loans held for sale and does not
expect to do so in the foreseeable future.  Accordingly, SFAS No. 134 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
