have been prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.  For further
information, refer to the Company's December 31, 1995 Form 10-KSB which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company's annual
report which contains the audited financial statements for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

Note 2:  Holding Company Formation and Stock Issuance

       Sho-Me Financial Corp. (SMFC) was established May 9, 1990, for the
purpose of becoming a holding company for the shares of 1st Savings Bank,
f.s.b., upon its conversion from a federal mutual savings bank to a federal
stock savings bank.

The Company's subscription and community stock offering was completed on June
28, 1994,  with the issuance of 2,049,875 shares at a price of $10 per share,
providing net proceeds of approximately $18.1 million after conversion costs
and approximately $1.6 million in debt incurred by the employee stock ownership
plan (ESOP).

Note 3:  Principles of Consolidation

       The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SMFC and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1st Savings Bank, f.s.b. which in turn owns all of
First Savings Financial Corporation.  Significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 4:  Employee Stock Ownership Plan

         In conjunction with the stock conversion, the Company established an
ESOP with 163,990 unallocated shares available for distribution.  The
unallocated shares have been credited to Unearned ESOP Shares, a contra-equity
account.  As shares are released from collateral the Company reports
compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the
shares become outstanding for Earnings Per Share calculations.  The ESOP has
allocated 41,158 shares to the employees of the Bank.

Note 5:  Benefit Plans

         On April 26, 1995, the Company's stockholders voted to approve both a
Management Recognition and Retention Plan (MRP) and a Stock Option and
Incentive Plan (SOIP).  The MRP authorized 81,995 shares to be issued to
directors, officers and employees of the Bank of which 63,038 shares have been
awarded.  The SOIP authorized 204,987 stock options on shares to be issued to
directors, officers, and employees of the Bank, of which 153,346 remain awarded
and outstanding.  Both the MRP and SOIP vest over a five year period with
compensation expense being amortized over each participant's vesting period for
the MRP.

Note 6:  Earnings Per Share

         Earnings per share of common stock have been determined by dividing
net income for the period by the weighted average number of outstanding shares
of common stock, common stock equivalents and allocated ESOP shares.
Unallocated ESOP shares were not included in the determination of either
primary or fully diluted earnings per share.  Stock options were considered to
be common stock equivalents and were therefore included in both primary and
fully diluted earnings per share calculations.  Primary earnings per share for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 were computed on weighted
average shares or share equivalents of 1,598,221 and 1,655,024, respectively as
compared to 1,790,878 and 1,876,128 from the prior year.

               Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                      Condition and Results of Operations

GENERAL

         The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the
accounts of Sho-Me Financial Corp. (the "Company") and all accounts of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, 1st Savings Bank, f.s.b. (the "Bank" or "1st
Savings").  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

         The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on the
difference (or "interest rate spread") between the average yield earned on its
interest-earning assets, which consist primarily of loans receivable,
investment securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and other investments,
and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities which consist
primarily of retail deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances.  The
interest rate spread is affected by economic, regulatory, and competitive
factors which influence interest rates, loan demand, prepayment rates, and
deposit flows.  The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to
interest-rate risk to the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or
reprice at different times, or on a varying basis, from its interest-bearing
liabilities.

         The Company's results of operations are also affected by provisions
for loan losses, non-interest income and non-interest expenses, such as
employee salary and benefits, occupancy expenses, and other expenses.  The
following discussion reviews the Company's financial condition at September 30,
1996 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         The Company's total assets increased $40.0 million, or 15.9%, from
$252.1 million at December 31, 1995 to $292.1 million at September 30, 1996.
The increase was primarily due to a $38.4 million increase in loans receivable
which was primarily funded by an increase in deposits of $29.2 million and an
increase in FHLB advances of $9.5 million.

         Loans receivable increased $38.4 million, or 17.9%, from $214.4
million at December 31, 1995 to $252.9 million at September 30, 1996.  The
growth in loans receivable was attributed to good local economic conditions,
the opening of a second full-service office in Springfield and a successful
marketing program.  Loan growth consisted primarily of a $31.4 million, or
18.4% increase in one- to four-family residential loans and, to a lesser
degree, an increase in loans secured by non-residential properties and consumer
loans of $7.1 million.  Growth in loans receivable has been and continues to be
the primary component of the Company's asset growth.
<PAGE>   9

         Deposits increased $29.2 million, or 19.9%,  from $146.6 million at
December 31, 1995 to $175.7 million at September 30, 1996.  The increase was
attributable to increased advertising, the opening of a new branch facility,
enhanced cross-selling efforts, and price competitiveness.  The increase was
composed of a $21.4 million increase in certificates of deposit and a $7.8
million increase in transaction accounts, statement savings accounts, and
accrued interest.

         FHLB advances increased $9.5 million, or 13.0%, from $73.0 million at
December 31, 1995 to $82.5 million at September 30, 1996.  Outstanding advances
have terms of up to five years at both variable and fixed interest rates and
were primarily used to finance growth in loans receivable.  During the third
quarter of 1996, the average cost of advances was 40 basis points higher than
the average cost of the Company's certificates of deposit.

         At September 30, 1996, stockholders' equity was $29.8 million as
compared to $31.0 million, at December 31, 1995.  The reduction in
stockholders' equity was primarily attributed to the $2.9 million cost of stock
repurchased during the year exceeding net income of $1.3 million and benefit
plan accruals of $360,000.  The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets
was reduced to 10.2% at September 30, 1996 as compared to 12.3% on December 31,
1995.  The 2.1% reduction was attributed to the overall reduction in
stockholders' equity and asset growth of the Company.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.

         GENERAL.  The Company's net income for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996 was $184,000 and $1.3 million, respectively,
as compared to net income of $489,000 and $1.2 million earned during the same
periods of 1995.  In the third quarter of 1996, net income was reduced by a
$564,000 special assessment, net of taxes, as part of the plan to recapitalize
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (See "Regulatory Items").  Exclusive of
the SAIF assessment, net income would have increased $259,000 and $661,000,
respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 when
compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The increase
in pre-assessment income was primarily due to increased net interest income
which was partially offset by increased noninterest expenses.

         NET INTEREST INCOME.  Net interest income before provision for loan
losses increased by $562,000, or 32.2%, to $2.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the $1.7 million earned during the same
quarter of the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to a .36% increase
in the average interest rate spread and a $53.8 million increase in the average
balance of interest-earning assets ("IEA") which was partially offset by a
$57.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities
("IBL").

         Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $1.7
million, or 36.9%, to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
as compared to the $4.8 million earned during the same period of the prior
year.  The increase was primarily due to a .50% increase in the average
interest rate spread and a $52.4 million increase in the average balance of IEA
which was partially offset by a $57.8 million increase in the average balance
of IBL.
<PAGE>   10

         INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 increased  $1.3 million, or 30.4%, and $4.2 million, or
37.4%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995.  The increases were primarily attributed to the $52.4 million, or
25.4% increase in the average balance of IEA and the .70% increase in the
average yield earned on IEA, from 7.34% during the first nine months of 1995 to
8.04% during the first nine months of 1996.  The increase in IEA was primarily
due to growth in loans receivable, while improved yields were primarily
attributed to upward loan repricing and an increase in the ratio of loans,
which earned higher yields than other IEA, to total assets.

         INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 increased $730,000, or 29.2%, and $2.5 million, or
37.8%, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995.  The increases were primarily attributed to a $57.8 million increase
in the average balance of IBL and a .20% increase in the average rate paid on
IBL, from 4.87% during the first nine months of 1995 to 5.07% during the first
nine months of 1996.  The increase in IBL was attributed to the growth of
deposits and FHLB advances, while the increase in the average rate was
primarily due to an increase in the ratio of certificates of deposit and FHLB
advances, which represented higher costing liabilities than transaction and
savings accounts, to IBL.

         PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS  The provision for loan losses for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $45,000 and $110,000,
respectively, as compared to the $85,000 established during the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995.  The Company will continue to monitor its
allowance for loan losses and make future additions based on management's
analysis of the loan portfolio, the amount of non-performing and classified
assets, and general economic conditions.  Although the Company maintains its
allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers to be sufficient to
provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will
not exceed internal estimates.  In addition, the amount of the allowance for
loan losses is subject to review by regulatory agencies which can order the
establishment of additional loss provisions (See "Nonperforming Assets").

         NONINTEREST INCOME.  Noninterest income for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 increased $116,000, or 55.2%, and $230,000, or 36.9%,
respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30,
1995.  Over each of these respective periods, lease income increased $22,000
and $127,000, while FHLB dividends increased $28,000 and $99,000, and service
charges increased $27,000 and $65,000.  Increased lease income was due to the
leasing of office space in the new Springfield location, while increased FHLB
dividends were due to higher average balances of FHLB stock and increased
service charges were primarily attributed to an expanded customer base.

         NONINTEREST EXPENSE.  Noninterest expense for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 increased $1.2 million, and $1.8 million,
respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30,
1995.   Over each of these respective periods, excluding the one-time SAIF
assessment of $910,000, noninterest expense increased $255,000, or 21.4%, and
$904,000, or 27.1%.  These increases were due, in part, to increased
compensation expense of $114,000 and $421,000, and occupancy expense of $75,000
and $221,000.  Increased
<PAGE>   11

compensation expense was primarily due to increased staffing while higher
operating expenses were primarily attributed to operating the new Springfield
facility.  In addition, noninterest expense during 1996 was increased by a
$910,000 special assessment, before taxes, as part of the plan to recapitalize
the SAIF (See "Regulatory Items").  Much of the remaining increase in
noninterest expense was the result of the Company's asset growth.

         PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 declined $228,000 and increased
$57,000, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 1995.  Exclusive of
the $346,000 tax benefit related to the SAIF assessment, the effective tax rate
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 was 34.6% and 37.6%,
respectively, as compared to 36.1% and 37.4%, respectively, for the same period
of 1995.  The decline in the effective tax rate was due to changes in accrual
estimates.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

         The allowance for loan losses is calculated based upon an evaluation
of pertinent factors underlying the various types and quality of the Company's
loans.  Management considers such factors as the repayment status of a loan,
the estimated net fair value of the underlying collateral, the borrower's
intent and ability to repay the loan, local economic conditions, and the
Company's historical loss ratios.  The Company's allowance for loan losses was
$1.8 million at September 30, 1996 and $1.7 million at December 31, 1995.  On
September 30, 1996, classified assets totaled $184,000, or .06% of total
assets.  Management has considered each of these factors in evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

         The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets is another useful
tool in evaluating exposure to credit risk.  Non-performing assets of the
Company include non-accruing loans, accruing loans delinquent/past maturity 90
days or more, and assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.  The following table illustrates changes in the
Company's level of non-performing assets:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and
interest payments on loans receivable, investments and MBS, and FHLB advances.
While scheduled loan and security repayments and the maturity of short-term
investments are somewhat predictable sources of funding, deposit flows and loan
prepayment rates are influenced by many factors which make their
<PAGE>   12

cash flows difficult to anticipate.  Office of Thrift Supervision regulations
require the Bank to maintain cash and eligible investments in an amount equal
to at least 5% of customer accounts and short-term borrowings to assure its
ability to meet demands for withdrawals and repayment of short-term borrowings.
During the month ended September 30, 1996, the Bank's liquidity ratio averaged
6.2%.

         The Company uses its liquidity resources principally to satisfy its
ongoing cash requirements which include funding loan commitments, funding
maturing certificates of deposit as well as deposit withdrawals, maintaining
liquidity, purchasing investments, and meeting operating expenses.  At
September 30, 1996 the Company had approximately $8.1 million in commitments to
originate mortgage loans, and $6.3 million in loans-in-process on mortgage
loans.  These commitments are anticipated to be funded primarily through a
combination of FHLB advances, deposit growth, and principal and interest
payments received on loans receivable.  Management believes that anticipated
cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity needs.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
122 ("FAS 122"), "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights".  FAS 122 requires
that mortgage banking concerns recognize as separate assets rights to service
mortgage loans for others.  The Company adopted FAS 122 during the first
quarter of 1996.  The adoption of FAS 122 has not had a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.

         The FASB has issued Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 123
("FAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".  FAS 123 establishes a
fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans.  It
encourages entities to adopt that method in place of the provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", for all
arrangements under which employees receive shares of stock or other equity
instruments of the employer or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in
amounts based on the price of its stock.  FAS 123 applies to financial
statements for fiscal 1996.  Management is continuing to account for
stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of APB No. 25.

         The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
125, ("SFAS 125"), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Asses
and Extinguishment of Liabilities".  The primary impact of SFAS 125 on mortgage
banking concerns is to extend the rules in SFAS 122 from servicing of mortgage
loans to all loan servicing.  Adoption of SFAS 125 will be required by the
Company during the fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.  The impact of this
statement is not expected to have a material effect of the Company's financial
statements.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

         Federally insured savings institutions are required to maintain a
minimum level of regulatory capital.  The OTS has established capital
standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio (or core
capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable to such
savings associations.  These capital requirements must be generally as
stringent
<PAGE>   13

as the comparable capital requirements for national banks.  The OTS is also
authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on
select thrifts on a case-by-case basis.

         At September 30, 1996, the Bank continued to exceed all regulatory
capital requirements with tangible capital of $24.5 million (8.6% of tangible
assets); core capital of $24.5 million (8.6% of adjusted tangible assets); and
risk-based capital of $26.3 million (16.4% of risk- weighted assets).  Under
current regulatory guidelines, the Bank was classified as well-capitalized.

REGULATORY ITEMS

         Federal law requires that the FDIC maintain reserves at both the SAIF
and the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of at least 1.25% of insured deposits.  The
reserves are funded through the payment of insurance premiums by the insured
institution members of each fund.  The BIF reached this level during 1995.
Upon attainment of the required reserve level, the FDIC may reduce insurance
premiums applicable to BIF-insured institutions while retaining the premiums
applicable to SAIF members, such as the Bank, at their current levels until the
SAIF reaches its required reserve level.

         In order to help eliminate this disparity and any competitive
disadvantage due to disparate deposit insurance premium schedules, legislation
to recapitalize the SAIF was enacted in September 1996.  The legislation
provides for a one-time assessment to be imposed on all deposits assessed at
the SAIF rates, as of March 31, 1995, in order to recapitalize the SAIF.  It
also provides for the merger of the BIF and the SAIF on January 1, 1999
provided no savings associations then exist.  The special assessment rate was
65.7 basis points and will be payable on November 27, 1996.  Accordingly, this
special assessment increased noninterest expense and adversely affect the
Bank's results of operations.  The Bank's liability for the special assessment,
estimated to total approximately $564,000, net of taxes, was recorded during
the third quarter of 1996.  Following the special assessment, and depending
upon capital level and supervisory rating, the Bank's deposit insurance
premiums could decrease significantly for future periods.

         Prior to the enactment of the legislation a portion of the SAIF
assessment imposed on savings associations was used to repay obligations issued
by a federally chartered corporation to provide financing for resolving the
thrift crisis of the 1980s.  Although the SAIF rates are expected to be reduced
significantly, in the near future the minimum assessment paid by SAIF-insured
institutions is not anticipated to be equalized with the minimum BIF rate as a
result of this continuing obligation.  Although the legislation also now
requires assessments to be made on BIF-assessable deposits for this purpose,
that assessment will be limited to 20% of the rate imposed on SAIF assessable
deposits until the earlier of December 31, 1999 or when no savings association
continues to exist, thereby imposing a greater burden on SAIF member
institutions such as the Bank.  Thereafter, however, assessments on BIF-member
institutions will be made on the same basis as SAIF-member institutions.  The
rates to be established by the FDIC to implement this requirement for all
FDIC-insured institutions are uncertain at this time.
