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, 1998, 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. 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, 1998, the Bank had outstanding commitments to fund real estate loans
of $2,829,894.  Of the  commitments  outstanding,  $2,315,644 are for fixed rate
loans at rates of 6.75% to 9.00%.  Commitments  for adjustable rate loans amount
to $514,250 with initial rates of 6.375% to 8.25%.  Outstanding loan commitments
to  sell  as of June  30,  1998  were  $1,928,459.  In  addition  the  Bank  had
outstanding commercial loan commitments of $4,092,483 with initial rates of 7.90
to 9.50

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 issued common stock  (potential
common stock) were exercised or converted to common stock. For periods presented
potential  common stock includes  outstanding  stock options and nonvested stock
awarded under the management stock bonus plan.

Earnings per share for the three and nine months  ending June 30, 1998 and 1997,
was determined as follows;

                           LANDMARK BANCSHARES, INC.
                         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, 1998. 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.

         Landmark  Bancshares,  Inc.  may from time to time make written or oral
"forward-looking  statements",  including  statements contained in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (including  this report on
Form 10-QSB), in its reports to stockholders and in other  communications by the
Company,  which  are made in good  faith by the  Company  pursuant  to the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

         These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties,  such
as statements of the Company's plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and
intentions,  that are subject to change based on various important factors (some
of which are beyond the Company's control). The following factors, among others,
could cause the Company's  financial  performance to differ  materially from the
plans,   objectives,   expectations,   estimates  and  intentions  expressed  in
forward-looking  statements;  the strength of the United States economy in which
the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary
and fiscal policies and laws,  including  interest rate policies of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate and market and
monetary fluctuations;  the timely development of and acceptance of new products
and services of the Company and the perceived  overall  value of these  products
and services by users,  including the features,  pricing and quality compared to
competitors'  products and  services;  the  willingness  of users to  substitute
competitors' products and services for the Company's products and services;  the
success of the  Company in  gaining  regulatory  approval  of its  products  and
services,  when required;  the impact of changes in financial services' laws and
regulations   (including  laws  concerning   taxes,   banking,   securities  and
insurance);  technological changes,  acquisitions;  changes in consumer spending
and  saving  habits;  and the  success  of the  Company  at  managing  the risks
described above involved in the foregoing.

         The Company  cautions that these  important  factors are not exclusive.
The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement,  whether
written  or oral,  that may be made  from  time to time by or on  behalf  of the
Company.

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,  commercial 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 continued sales of loans in the secondary market.


<PAGE>
                                                                              10

         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 1998 rates  continued
with  moderate  decline.  As a result of the rates at the end of June 1998,  the
Bank reflected an unrealized  gain of $31,144 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, 1998 and September 30, 1997:

         As of June 30, 1998, total assets were $229,337,155, which represents a
$1.4 million  growth over the  September  30, 1997 fiscal year end totals.  This
growth is mainly  attributed  to a $12.7 million  increase in loan  receivables,
which was offset by a $10.1 million  decrease in investments and  mortgage-baked
securities.

Results of operations:  comparison  between the three and nine months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997:

         Net income for the  three-month  period ended June 30, 1998 of $583,650
represents  a  decrease  of  $43,557  or a 6.99%  decrease  from the net  income
reported for the three-month  period ended June 30, 1997. The decrease is mainly
attributed to an increase in non interest expense associated with the opening of
a new branch office.

         Net income for the nine-month  period ended June 30, 1998 of $1,792,224
represents  a  decrease  of  $67,533  or a 3.63%  decrease  from the net  income
reported for the nine-month  period ended June 30, 1997. This decrease is mainly
attributed to an increase in non interest expense associated with the opening of
a new branch office.

         Net  interest  income  before  provision  for  losses  on loans for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1998 decreased $14,126 or approximately  0.08%
to  $1,723,382 as compared  with  $1,737,508  for the same period ended June 30,
1997. This decrease is associated with the increased interest expense on deposit
accounts.

         Net  interest  income  before  provision  for  losses  on loans for the
nine-month  period ended June 30, 1998 increased  $139,105 or 2.70 to $5,288,297
as compared  with  $5,149,192  for the same  period  ended June 30,  1997.  This
increase is  associated  with the  increased  interest  received on the mortgage
loans.

         Interest  expense  for the  three-month  period  ended  June  30,  1998
increased  $51,134 or 2.05% to $2,537,712 as compared  with  $2,426,578  for the
same period ended June 30, 1997.  This  increase is due to the  increased  costs
associated with savings rates and increased savings volume.
<PAGE>
                                                                              11

         Interest  expense  for  the  nine-month  period  ended  June  30,  1998
increased  $448,004 or 6.22% to $7,639,561 as compared with  $7,191,557  for the
same period ended June 30, 1997.  This  increase is due to the  increased  costs
associated  with savings  rates and increased  rates on adjustable  advance from
FHLB.

         The Bank added  $60,000 for the three month period ending June 30, 1998
and $205,000 for the nine month period ending June 30, 1998 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, 1998  increased  $138,040 or 53.48% to $396,110 as compared  with
$258,090 for the same period ended June 30, 1997.  This  increase  primarily was
due to $24,112 on gains of sale of loans from favorable rate  environment  and a
$82,043 gain on sale of investment during the quarter ending June 30, 1998.

         Other income  including non operating  items for the nine-month  period
ended June 30, 1998  increased  $173,601 or 22.60% to $941,551 as compared  with
$767,950 for the same period ended June 30, 1997.  This  increase was  primarily
due to a $123,638  increase  in net gains on sale of loans from  favorable  rate
environment.  Gain on sale of available for sale investment securities increased
in 1998 over 1997 by  $4,169.  Service  charges  and late  fees  increased  over
$50,342 due to increased late fees on installment loans.

         Non interest  expenses for the  three-month  period ended June 30, 1998
increased  $245,771 or 29.23% to  $1,086,342  as compared  with $840,571 for the
same period ended June 30,  1997.  This  increase is primarily  due to increased
compensation  expense of $127,162,  an increase of $35,720 in occupancy  expense
and a increase of $79,732 in other expenses  associated  with the opening of the
new branch.

         Non  interest  expenses for the  nine-month  period ended June 30, 1998
increased  $436,889 or 16.80% to $3,036,674 as compared with  $2,599,785 for the
same period ended June 30,  1997.  This  increase is primarily  due to increased
compensation expense of $312,325,  an increase of $101,367 in other expenses and
a $49,742 in occupancy expense associated with the opening of the new branch.

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.

Y2K Compliance:

The Bank has  developed a plan to attain Y2K  compliance  of critical  operation
systems.  That plan includes assessment and testing of vendors systems including
external data processing  center and equipment and software  upgrades.  The plan
currently calls for testing of mission  critical systems by August 1998. The Y2K
costs are projected to be approximately  $75,000 - $100,000 for conversions cost
and approximately $300,000 for hardware and software upgrades.

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  4.65% during June 1998.  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 2.00 percent of tangible assets;  minimum core capital equal to
4.00 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 June 30, 1998:


                               Amount (Thousands)         Percent of Assets
