                 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,  (collectively
the  "Company")  at December  31, 1999 to the  financial  condition at March 31,
1999, its fiscal year-end, and the results of operations for the three month and
nine month  periods  ended  December 31,  1999,  with the same periods in fiscal
1998. This discussion  should be read in conjunction with the interim  financial
statements and notes which are included herein.

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, the Bank converted 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,  small business and  agricultural  loans,  and consumer
loans consisting primarily of loans secured by 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 $3.5 million,  or 15.9%, to $26.0 million at December 31,
1999 from $22.5  million at March 31, 1999.  The increase in assets is primarily
due to increases  in loans  receivable,  investment  securities  (available  for
sale),  and cash and deposits,  partially offset by decreases in mortgage backed
securities (held to maturity),  deferred tax assets,  and foreclosed real estate
and other assets.

Loans receivable,  net, increased by $2.5 million, or 13.2%, to $21.7 million at
December  31,  1999 from  $19.2  million  at March 31,  1999,  primarily  due to
increases in commercial and agricultural  loans of $1.5 million,  an increase in
one-to-four  family  loans of  $827,000  an  increase  in home  equity  loans of
$332,000, offset by a decrease in consumer loans of $100,000.

Investment  securities  increased  by  $195,000,  or 10.3%,  to $2.1  million at
December 31, 1999 from $1.9 million at March 31, 1999.

Cash  increased  by $480,000,  or 168.2%,  to $765,000 at December 31, 1999 from
$285,000 at March 31,  1999.  The  increase is due to build up of  liquidity  in
anticipation  of  Year  2000  related  withdrawals.  Interest  bearing  deposits
increased $480,000 to $490,000 at December 31, 1999.

<PAGE>


Deposits increased $2.6 million, or 13.6%, to $21.9 million at December 31, 1999
from $19.3  million at March 31,  1999.  The  increase in deposits is  primarily
attributable  to an  increase in  certificates  of deposit of $1.8  million,  an
increase in demand deposits of $490,000,  and an increase in savings accounts of
$387,000.

Advances from FHLB  increased  $848,000  from $1.1 million to $1.9 million.  The
increase in  borrowings  and the  increase  in  deposits  were used to fund loan
demand and liquidity.

Total equity increased  $30,000 or 1.5%, to $1,957,729 at December 31, 1999 from
$1,927,934 at March 31, 1999,  due to the earnings for the period of $56,379 and
the  issuance  of $32,604 in common  stock,  partially  offset by an increase in
accumulated other comprehensive  income (loss) of ($68,528) which was the result
of increased unrealized loss on securities.




   Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended
 December 31, 1999 and the Three Months and Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance  Summary.  The Company's net income increased $81,183 to $26,237 for
the three  months ended  December 31, 1999,  compared to a net loss of ($54,946)
for the three months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net income for the
three months  ended  December 31, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998 is
due to a decrease in the  provision  for loan losses of $44,600,  an increase in
net  interest  income of $38,350,  and an  increase  of $10,379 in  non-interest
income.  Non-interest expense decreased $12,554 and income tax expense increased
$24,700.  Net income  increased  $135,794 to $56,379  for the nine months  ended
December  31,  1999 as compared  to a loss of  ($79,415)  for the same period in
fiscal year 1998.  The increase in earnings is  primarily  due to an increase in
net  interest  income of $127,950,  a decrease in  provision  for loan losses of
$48,768, and an increase of $31,497 in non-interest income. Non-interest expense
increased $28,616 and income tax expense increased $43,805.

Net Interest  Income.  The Company's net interest income increased  $38,350,  or
22.3%,  to $210,451 for the three months ended December 31, 1999,  from $172,101
for the three months ended December 31, 1998. For the nine months ended December
31, 1999, net interest  income  increased  $127,950,  or 26.2%, to $616,445 from
$488,495  for the same period in fiscal  1998.  The  increases  in net  interest
income  reflect an increase of $108,175 in interest  income and a  corresponding
increase of $69,826 in interest  expense for the three months ended December 31,
1999 as  compared  to the same  period in 1998,  and an  increase of $313,833 in
interest  income and an increase  of  $184,883 in interest  expense for the nine
months  ended  December  31, 1999 as  compared  to the same period in 1998.  The
increase in interest income  reflects  increased  balances of loans  receivable,
while  interest  expense  increased  due  to the  increase  in  deposits  and in
borrowings from FHLB.

Provision for Loan Losses.  During the three months ended December 31, 1999, the
Bank charged $9,500 against  earnings as a provision for loan losses compared to
a provision  of $54,100  charged  against  earnings  for the three  months ended
December 31, 1998.  For the nine months ended December 31, 1999 the Bank charged
$35,500  against  earnings as a provision for losses compared to $84,268 charged
against  earnings for same period in fiscal 1998.  The lower  provision for loan
losses was deemed appropriate in light of the overall level of the allowance for
loan  losses  and the lower  level of  non-performing  loans in the  comparative
periods.  The  allowance  for loan losses at December 31, 1999 is 1.01% of loans
receivable, as compared to .89% of loans receivable, at December 31, 1998. Total
non-performing  loans  at  December  31,  1999  are  $25,000  or  0.12% of loans
receivable,  as compared to total  non-performing  loans at December 31, 1998 of
80,000 or 0.46% of loans receivable.


<PAGE>


Management  regularly  reviews the loan portfolio,  including  problem loans and
changes in the relative  makeup of the 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 December 31, 1999,  non-interest
income increased  $10,379 or 102.7%, to $20,487 from $10,108 for the same period
in 1998.  For the nine months  ended  December  31,  1999,  non-interest  income
increased $31,497 or 100.1% to $62,953 from $31,456 for the same period in 1998.
The  increase  is  primarily  due to  increased  fee income on deposit  and loan
accounts.

Non-interest  Expense.  Non-interest  expense  decreased  $12,554  or  6.3%,  to
$186,346 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 from $198,900 for the same
period in 1998.  The  decrease is  primarily  attributed  to a reduction in loan
origination  expenses.  Non-interest  expense  increased $28,616 or 5.3% for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 to $568,714 from $540,098 in the same period
in 1998,  primarily due to increased  occupancy expense related to the Company's
facilities  and  equipment,  increased  data  processing  expense  due to higher
volumes, and increased employee compensation and benefit expense.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense,  (benefit) increased $24,700 to $8,855 for the
three months ended  December 31,  1999,  from  ($15,845)  for the same period in
1998. For the nine months ended December 31, 1999 income tax expense was $18,805
compared to ($25,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 1998.

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

On December 31, 1999, non-performing assets were $25,000 compared to $225,000 on
March 31, 1999. The non-performing  assets on December 31, 1999 consisted of one
loan of $25,000 while at March 31, 1999 non-performing assets consisted of loans
of $106,000 and repossessed or foreclosed assets of $119,000. The balance of the
Bank's allowance for loan losses was $220,400 or 8.8 times non-performing assets
as of December 31, 1999. The balance of the Bank's allowance for loan losses was
$191,019  or 84.7% of  non-performing  assets  as of March 31,  1999.  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.

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  4.0% 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 December 31, 1999 and March 31,
1999 were 14.38% and 12.95%, respectively.

In addition to local deposits, the Bank utilizes the funding sources of the FHLB
and out-of-market  certificates of deposit 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/or 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 December 31, 1999
and March 31, 1999 were $1,255,286 and $295,827,  respectively. The increase was
primarily  due to  increases  in deposits of $2.6  million and Federal Home Loan
Bank advances of

$848,000,  partially  offset by an increase in loans receivable of $2.5 million,
and an increase in investment securities of $195,000.

Net cash provided (used) by operating  activities  increased to $263,193 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999, from ($42,770) at December 31, 1998.

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

The Bank did not experience any "Year 2000" related problems or interruptions in
service.  All of the hardware and software  upgrades are  performing as designed
and anticipated. The Bank's third party service provider reported encountering a
few  minor  problems,  which  were  corrected  almost  as  quickly  as they were
discovered.

The additional  liquidity built up in  anticipation of customer  withdrawals has
been eliminated subsequent to the report date.

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, has been 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.
