1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  were  prepared  in
accordance  with the  instructions  for form  10-QSB  and,  accordingly,  do not
include  all  information  and  disclosures   necessary  to  present   financial
condition,  results of operations  and cash flows of Landmark  Bancshares,  Inc.
(the "Company") and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary  Landmark Federal Savings Bank
(the  "Bank") in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.
However,  all normal recurring  adjustments have been made which, in the opinion
of  management,  are  necessary  for  the  fair  presentation  of the  financial
statements.

The results of operation for the three and nine months ending June 30, 1997, are
not  necessarily  indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1997.

2. On March 28, 1994, the Bank segregated and restricted $15,144,357 of retained
earnings in a liquidation  account for the benefit of eligible  savings  account
holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the bank after the conversion
of the bank from mutual to stock form. In the event of a complete liquidation of
the  Bank,  each  eligible   account  holder  will  be  entitled  to  receive  a
distribution  from the  liquidation  account in an amount  proportionate  to the
current adjusted balances of all qualifying  deposits then held. The liquidation
account will be reduced  annually at September  30th to the extent that eligible
account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits.

6. 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.

On June 30, 1997, the Bank had outstanding commitments to fund real estate loans
of $1,583,567.  Of the  commitments  outstanding,  $1,195,767 are for fixed rate
loans at rates of 7.375% to 10.00%. Commitments for adjustable rate loans amount
to $387,800 with initial rates of 7.375% to 10.00%. Outstanding loan commitments
to sell as of June 30, 1997 were $413,546.

7.       Earnings per share for the three and nine months ending June  30,  199
and 1996 was determined by the weighted average shares outstanding as follows;

                         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 June 30, 1997. 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 and Madison,  Wisconsin. 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.

Management Strategy:

         Management's  strategy has been to maintain  profitability and increase
return on equity for  shareholder.  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,  commercial  loans,  second mortgage
loans,  home  equity  loans and  savings  deposit  loans.  This  focus,  and the
application of 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
investment in mortgage-backed securities and the continued sales of loans in the
secondary market.

         Certain  risks  are  inherent  in the  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  sells  30 year  fixed  rate  mortgages  in the
secondary  market,  however  the Bank is  keeping  all 15 and 20 year or shorter
mortgages  with fixed rates above 7.0% and 7.25% for  investment and selling all
other fixed rate loans.

         Through out the first nine  months of fiscal year 1997 rates  continued
with  moderate  decline.  As a result of the rates at the end of June 1997,  the
Bank  reflected an unrealized  gain of $4,212 in loans held for sale.  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 continued
rise in interest rates.

Changes in financial condition between June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996:

         Total assets increased by $14,366,133,  or approximately  6.72% between
September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997.  This increase is largely  attributed to a
$24,870,478 increase in loan receivables.  The Bank utilizes FHLB line of credit
and short term advances  which  increased  over $16.6 million from September 30,
1996 to June 30, 1997 to fund the acquisition of adjustable  rate mortgages.  In
managing the Bank's  overall  interest rate risk,  loan purchases have been make
which increase that level of risk to the extent that borrowing will reprice more
frequently than the adjustments on the mortgages.

Results of operations:  comparison between the three and nine months ended  June
30, 1997 and 1996:

         Net income for the  three-month  period ended June 30, 1997 of $627,207
represents  an increase of  $154,363  or a 32.64%  increase  from the net income
reported  for the  three-month  period  ended June 30,  1997.  The  increase was
primarily  due to an increase of  $718,130  on  interest  income from  increased
volume on loans.  Mortgage loans purchased from  correspondents and originations
are being  partially  funded  through  additional  FHLB  advances  at a positive
spread.

         Net income for the nine-month  period ended June 30, 1997 of $1,859,757
represents  an increase of  $524,232  or a 39.25%  increase  over the net income
reported  for the  nine-month  period  ended June 30,  1996.  This  increase was
primarily  due to an increase of $2,072,542  on interest  income from  increased
volume on loans.  Mortgage loans purchased from  correspondents and originations
are being  partially  funded  through  additional  FHLB  advances  at a positive
spread.

         Net  interest  income  before  provision  for  losses  on loans for the
three-month  period  ended June 30, 1997  increased  $234,051  or  approximately
15.56% to $1,737,508 as compared with  $1,503,457 for the same period ended June
30, 1996.  This increase is associated with the increased  interest  received on
the mortgage loan portfolio.

         Net  interest  income  before  provision  for  losses  on loans for the
nine-month period ended June 30, 1997 increased $845,568 or 19.65% to $5,149,192
as compared  with  $4,303,624  for the same  period  ended June 30,  1996.  This
increase is  associated  with the  increased  interest  received on the mortgage
loans.

         Interest  expense  for the  three-month  period  ended  June  30,  1997
increased  $408,589 or 19.66% to $2,486,578 as compared with  $2,077,989 for the
same period ended June 30, 1996.  This  increase is due to the  increased  costs
associated  with savings  rates and increased  borrowing  from FHLB as discussed
earlier.

         Interest expense for the nine-month period ended June 30, 1997increased
$730,835 or 11.31% to $7,191,557 as compared with $6,460,722 for the same period
ended June 30, 1996. This increase is due to the increased costs associated with
savings rates and increased borrowing from FHLB as discussed earlier.

         The Bank added $110,000 for the three month period ending June 30, 1997
and $210,000 for the nine month period ending June 30, 1997 to the provision for
loan losses.  These additions are due to increased loan  production  during this
period and related credit risk.

         Other income  including non operating items for the three-month  period
ended June 30, 1997  increased  $107,873 or 71.82% to $258,070 as compared  with
$150,197 for the same period ended June 30, 1996.  This  increase  primarily was
due to  $121,055 on gains of sale of loans  during the  quarter  ending June 30,
1997.

         Other income  including non operating  items for the nine-month  period
ended June 30, 1997  increased  $205,140 or 36.44% to $767,950 as compared  with
$562,810 for the same period ended June 30, 1996.  This  increase was  primarily
due to a  $134,642  increase  in net  gains  on sale of  loans.  Gain on sale of
available for sale investment securites increased in 1997 over 1996 by $162,291,
due to the sale of equity  securities,  while gain on the sale of available  for
sale mortgage backed securities  decreased due to the one time  reclassification
and  sale  of  mortgage  backed  securities  previously  classified  as  held to
maturity.

         Non interest  expenses for the  three-month  period ended June 30, 1997
increased  $5,061 or 0.61% to $840,571 as compared  with  $835,510  for the same
period  ended  June 30,  1996.  This  increase  is  primarily  due to  increased
compensation expense partially offset by a decrease in the SAIF premium.

         Non  interest  expenses for the  nine-month  period ended June 30, 1997
increased  $47,676 or 1.86% to $2,599,785 as compared  with  $2,552,109  for the
same period ended June 30,  1996.  This  increase is primarily  due to increased
compensation expense partially offset by a decrease in the SAIF premium.

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  5.57% during June 1997.  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.
