                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

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 months ending  December 31, 1997, are not
necessarily  indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 1998.

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, and only in such event,  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.       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, 1997, the Bank had  outstanding  commitments to fund real estate
loans of $1,784,859.  Of the commitments  outstanding,  $1,303,250 are for fixed
rate loans at rates of 6.75% to 10.0%.  Commitments  for  adjustable  rate loans
amount  to  $481,609  with  initial  rates of 6.75%  to 8.0%.  Outstanding  loan
commitments to sell as of December 31, 1997 were $719,561.  In addition the Bank
had outstanding  commercial loan commitments of $3,732,250 with initial rates of
8.0% to 10.0%.

7.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available
to  common  stockholders  by  the  weighted-average   number  of  common  shares
outstanding  for the period.  Diluted  earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
(potential  common stock) were  exercised or converted to common stock.  For the
periods presented potential common

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,  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,  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
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 investment in mortgage-backed  securities
and the 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  sold  30  year  fixed  rate  mortgages  in the
secondary market,  however the Bank is keeping all currently  originated 15 year
and 20 year mortgages with fixed rates at or above 7.0% and 7.25% for investment
and selling all other fixed rate loans.

         Through the first three months of fiscal year 1998 rates continued with
moderate  decline.  As a result of rates at the end of December  1997,  the Bank
reflected  only a  unrealized  gain of less than  $1,000 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 December 31, 1997 and September 30, 1997:

         Total assets increased by $5,789,686,  or  approximately  2.54% between
September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1997. This increase is largely attributed to
a $8,644,897 increase in loan receivables.

         The Bank  utilizes  FHLB line of credit and short term  advances  which
increased  $5.3 million from September 30, 1997 to December 31, 1997 to fund the
acquisition  of  adjustable  rate  mortgages.  In  managing  the Bank's  overall
interest rate risk,  loan  purchases  have been made which increase the 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 months ended December 31,
1997 and 1996:

         Net  income for the  three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1997 of
$596,125  represents a decrease of $56,279 from the net income  reported for the
three-month  period ended December 31, 1996. The decrease was primarily due to a
$108,692  gain on sale of  investments  during  the  three  month  period  ended
December 31, 1996

         Net  interest  income  after  provision  for  losses  on loans  for the
three-month  period ended December 31, 1997 increased  $63,558 or  approximately
3.8% to  $1,715,927  as  compared  with  $1,652,369  for the same  period  ended
December 31, 1996.  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, 1997
decreased  $109,960 or 36.26% to $193,274 as compared with $303,234 for the same
period ended  December 31, 1996.  This decrease was due to the $108,652 net gain
from sale of investments during the quarter ended December 1996.

         Other  expenses  for the  three-month  period  ended  December 31, 1997
increased  $42,427 or 4.8% to $914,126 as compared  with  $871,699  for the same
period  ended  December 31, 1996.  This  increase is primarily  due to increased
compensation  compared to the quarter ending December 31, 1996, partially offset
by the decrease in federal insurance premiums.

Earnings Per Share:

Effective  with the quarter  ended  December 31, 1997,  the Company  adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per
Share. The Statement is to be applied to financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997,  including interim periods;  earlier application
is not  permitted.  The  Statement  requires  restatement  of  all  prior-period
earnings per share (EPS) data presented.

FAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing EPS and makes them comparable
to international EPS standards. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with
a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires  presentation of basic and diluted
EPS on the face of the income  statement for all entities  with complex  capital
structures.  Basic EPS  excludes  dilution  and is computed  by dividing  income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the  potential  dilution that
could  occur  if  securities  or other  contracts  to issue  common  stock  were
exercised or  converted  into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the  company.  Diluted EPS is computed
similarly to the previously presented fully diluted earnings per share.

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  4 percent.  The Bank's  liquidity  ratio
averaged 5.25% during

<PAGE>
                                                                              11


December 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.


The Bank's capital requirements and actual capital under the OTS regulations are
as follows at December 31, 1997:
