      The  accompanying   unaudited   financial   statements  were  prepared  in
accordance  with the  instructions  for form  10-QSB and ,  accordingly,  do not

6.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The Bank is a party to financial instruments with  off-balance-sheet  risk
in the normal  course of business to meet the  financial  needs of its customers
and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  The financial
instruments  include commitments to extend credit and commitments to sell loans.
The instruments  involve,  to varying  degrees,  elements of credit and interest
rate risk in excess of the  amount  recognized  in the  statement  of  financial
condition.  The contract or notional  amounts of those  instruments  reflect the
extent  of  involvement  the  Bank  has  in  particular   classes  of  financial
instruments.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of  non-performance by the other
party to the financial  instrument  for loan  commitments  is represented by the
contractual  or  notional  amount of those  instruments.  The Bank uses the same
credit  policies  in  making   commitments  as  it  does  for   on-balance-sheet
instruments.

At December 31, 1996, the Bank had  outstanding  commitments to fund real estate
loans of $1,581,360. Of the commitments outstanding, $680,400 are for fixed rate
loans at rates of 7.5% to 8.5%.  Commitments for adjustable rate loans amount to
$900,960 with initial rates of 6.5% to 8.5%.  Outstanding  loan  commitments  to
sell as of December 31, 1996 were $58,038.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General:

      Landmark Bancshares,  Inc. ("Company") is the holding company for Landmark
Federal  Savings  Bank  ("Bank").  Apart from the  operations  of the Bank,  the
Company did not engage in any  significant  operations  during the quarter ended
December  31, 1996.  The Bank is primarily  engaged in the business of accepting
deposit accounts from the general public, using such funds to originate mortgage
loans for the purchase and refinancing of single-family homes located in Central
and Southwestern  Kansas and for the purchase of mortgage-backed  and investment
securities.  In  addition,  the Bank also  offers and  purchases  loans  through
correspondent lending relationships in Wichita, Kansas City, and other cities in
Kansas and in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico. To a lesser extent, the Bank
will purchase  adjustable rate mortgages loans, to manage its interest rate risk
as deemed  necessary.  The Bank also makes  automobile  loans,  second  mortgage
loans, home equity loans and savings deposit loans.

Changes in financial condition between December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996:

      Total assets  increased by  $8,244,529,  or  approximately  3.85%  between
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996. This increase is largely attributed to
a $10,666,239 increase in loan receivables.

Management Strategy:

      Management's  strategy  has been to maintain  profitability  and  increase
capital. The Bank's lending strategy has historically focused on the origination
of  traditional,  conforming one to four-family  mortgage loans with the primary
emphasis on  single-family  residences.  The Bank's  secondary focus has been on
consumer loans,  second  mortgage  loans,  home equity loans and savings deposit
loans.  This focus, and the application of strict  underwriting  standards,  are
designed to reduce the risk of loss on the Bank's loan portfolio.  However, this
lack of  diversification  in its  portfolio  structure  does increase the Bank's
portfolio  concentration  risk  by  making  the  value  of  the  portfolio  more
susceptible to declines in real estate values in its market area.  This has been
mitigated in recent years, through the increased  acquisition of mortgage-backed
securities and the increased level of sales of loans in the secondary market.

      Certain risks are inherent in the increase  level of sales of loans in the
secondary market. There is a risk that the Bank will not be able to sell all the
loans that it has  originated,  or  conversely,  will be unable to  fulfill  its
commitment to deliver  loans  pursuant to a firm  commitment  to sell loans.  In
addition,  in periods of rising interest rates, loans originated by the bank may
decline in value.  Exposure  to market  and  interest  rate risk is  significant
during the period  between the time the interest  rate on a customer's  mortgage
loan application is established and the time the mortgage loan closes,  and also
during the period between the time the interest rate is established and the time
the Bank commits to sell the loan. If interest rates change in an  unanticipated
fashion,  the actual  percentage  of loans that close may differ from  projected
percentages.  The  resultant  mismatching  of  commitments  to closed  loans and
commitments   to  deliver  sold  loans  may  have  an  adverse   effect  on  the
profitability of loan originations.

      A sudden increase in interest rates can cause a higher percentage of loans
to close than projected.  To the degree that this was not anticipated,  the Bank
will not have made  commitments  to sell these  loans and may incur  significant
mark to market losses, adversely affecting results of operations.

      The Bank  historically  sold 30 year fixed rate mortgages in the secondary
market,  however the Bank is keeping all 15 year or shorter mortgages with fixed
rates at or above 7.0% for investment and selling all other fixed rate loans.

      During fiscal 1994 market interest rates increased and through fiscal 1996
remained higher than those experienced by the Bank during the declining interest
rate environment experienced between 1991 and 1993. As a result of lower volumes
and reduced  margins on loans sold,  the Bank realized  reduced net profits from
the sale of loans.  Recent  downward  interest rate  movements  have resulted in
increased mortgage lending activity and an increase in the gain on sale of loans
for the quarter ended December,  1996. Sustained levels of gain on sale of loans
is dependent on continued  stable or downward  interest  rate movement and would
likely be adversely affected by a rise in interest rates.

      Effective  October 1, 1994,  the Bank  adopted  the  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board SFAS Statement No. 115,  "accounting for certain  investments in
debt and equity  securities".  This statement is not retroactively  applied.  In
conjunction  with the  adoption of SFAS No.  115,  investment  securities  as of
October 1, 1994, are designated as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale.  The
effect  of  classifying  securities  as  available-for-sale  was to  reflect  an
unrealized  gain net of tax effect,  as a component of  stockholders'  equity of
$346,453 as of December 31, 1996.

Results of  operations:  comparison  between the three months ended December 31,
1996 and 1995:

      Net income for the three-month  period ended December 31, 1996 of $652,404
represents  an  increase  of  $222,686  from  the net  income  reported  for the
three-month period ended December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to an
increase of $326,014 on  interest  income from  increased  volume on loans and a
$108,692 gain on sale of investments.

      Net  interest   income  after  provision  for  losses  on  loans  for  the
three-month  period ended December 31, 1996 increased  $260,953 or approximately
18.75% to  $1,652,369  as compared  with  $1,391,417  for the same period  ended
December 31, 1995.  This  increase is  associated  with the  increased  interest
received  on the  mortgage  loan  portfolio.  Provision  for loan  loss has been
increased primarily due to increased consumer lending.  This net interest income
increase is a result of an increase in the volume of net invested loans.

      Non interest  income for the  three-month  period ended  December 31, 1996
increased  $134,940 or 80.18% to $303,234 as compared with $168,294 for the same
period  ended  December  31,  1995.  This  increase  was due to the  increase of
$108,652 on net gains from sale of investments.

      Other  expenses  for  the  three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1996
increased  $23,207 or 0.03% to $871,699 as compared  with  $848,492 for the same
period  ended  December  31,  1995.  This  increase  is  due to  other  expenses
increasing  $20,807 for the same quarter ending December 31, 1996.  Income taxes
increased due to an increase in pre tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets,  as defined by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")  regulations.  This requirement,  which
may be varied from time to time depending  upon economic  conditions and deposit
flows,  is based upon a percentage  of deposits and  short-term  borrowing.  The
required  minimum  ratio is  currently  5 percent.  The Bank's  liquidity  ratio
averaged 4.96% during  December  1996.  The Bank manages its liquidity  ratio to
meet its funding needs,  including:  deposit outflows,  disbursement of payments
collected  from   borrowers  for  taxes  and   insurance,   and  loan  principal
disbursements.   The  Bank  also  manages  its  liquidity   ratio  to  meet  its
asset/liability management objectives.

In addition to funds provided from  operations,  the Bank's  primary  sources of
funds are: savings deposits,  principal  repayments on loans and mortgage-backed
securities,  and matured or called investment securities.  In addition, the Bank
may borrow funds from time to time from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka.

Scheduled loan  repayments and maturing  investment  securities are a relatively
predictable source of funds.  However,  savings deposit flows and prepayments on
loans and mortgage-backed  securities are significantly influenced by changes in
market interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  The Bank strives to
manage the pricing of its  deposits to maintain a balanced  stream of cash flows
commensurate with its loan commitments.

When  applicable,  cash in excess of immediate  funding  needs is invested  into
longer-term  investments and  mortgage-backed  securities which typically earn a
higher yield than overnight  deposits,  some of which may also qualify as liquid
investments under current OTS regulations.

As required by the financial  institutions reform,  recovery and enforcement act
of 1989 ("FIRREA"), OTS prescribed three separate standards of capital adequacy.
The  regulations  require  financial  institutions  to have  minimum  regulatory
capital equal to 1.50 percent of tangible assets;  minimum core capital equal to
3.00 percent of adjusted tangible assets;  and risk-based  capital equal to 8.00
percent of risk-based assets.

The Bank's capital requirements and actual capital under the OTS regulations are
as follows at December 31, 1996:
