                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  were  prepared  in
accordance with the requirements for interim  financial  statement  contained in
SEC  Regulation  S-X 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, 1998, are not
necessarily  indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 1999.

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.

         A summary of the Bank's  carrying  value of  investment  and mortgage -
backed securities as of December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, is as follows:

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, 1998, the Bank had  outstanding  commitments to fund real estate
loans of $3,141,258.  Of the commitments  outstanding,  $2,507,683 are for fixed
rate loans at rates of 6.375% to 8.50%.  Commitments  for adjustable  rate loans
amount  to  $633,575  with  initial  rates of 6.50% to 7.75%.  Outstanding  loan
commitments to sell as of December 31, 1998 were  $2,381,294,  also the Bank had
outstanding  commitments  to purchase of  $5,440,498.  In addition  the Bank had
outstanding commercial loan commitments of $1,661,258 with initial rates of 9.0%
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 issue common stock
(potential  common stock) were  exercised or converted to common stock.  For the
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 months  ending  December 31, 1998 and
1997, was determined as follows:

9.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         Effective  October 1, 1998, the  Corporation  adopted the provisions of
Statement  of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  130  entitled  "Reporting
Comprehensive  Income" (SFAS No. 130). This statement requires disclosure of the
components  of  comprehensive  income  and  the  accumulated  balance  of  other
comprehensive  income  within  consolidated  total  stockholders'   equity.  The
adoption  of the  provisions  of SFAS No.  130,  which are only of a  disclosure
nature,  did not  effect  the  Corporation's  consolidated  financial  position,
results of operations or liquidity.

                            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  December  31,  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,  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  6.75%  and  6.875%  for
investment and selling all other fixed rate loans.

         Through the first three months of fiscal year 1999 rates continued with
moderate  decline.  As a result of rates at the end of December  1998,  the Bank
reflected  only a unrealized  gain of $51,000 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.

                                                                              11

Changes in financial condition between December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998:

         Total assets decreased by $1,667,616,  or  approximately  0.74% between
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1998. This decrease is largely attributed to
a $923,651  decrease in securites held to maturity and a $2,558,567  decrease in
mortgage-backed securities held to maturity.

         The Bank  utilizes  FHLB line of credit and short term  advances  which
increased  $0.6 million from September 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998 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,
1998 and 1997:

         Net  income for the  three-month  period  ended  December  31,  1998 of
$604,303  represents  a increase of $8,178 from the net income  reported for the
three-month  period ended December 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to a
$65,672 gain on sale of investments  and a net gain of $203,178 on sale of loans
offset by a decrease of $102,709 in net interest  income  during the three month
period ended December 31, 1998.

         Net  interest  income  after  provision  for  losses  on loans  for the
three-month  period ended December 31, 1998 decreased  $107,709 or approximately
6.27% to  $1,608,218  as compared  with  $1,715,927  for the same  period  ended
December 31, 1997.  This  decrease is  associated  with the  decreased  interest
received on the investment portfolio. Provision for loan loss has been increased
primarily due to increased consumer lending.

         Non interest income for the three-month  period ended December 31, 1998
increased $221,503 or 114.60% to $414,777 as compared with $193,274 for the same
period ended  December 31, 1997.  This  increase was due to the $65,672 net gain
from sale of  investments  and the $203,178 net gain on sale of loans during the
quarter  ended  December  1998.  The  increase  in the  gain on sale of loans is
largely  attributable to an $8 million increase in the volume of loans sold as a
result of slightly lower interest rates.

         Other  expenses  for the  three-month  period  ended  December 31, 1998
increased  $101,066 or 11.05% to  $1,015,192  as compared  with $914,126 for the
same period ended December 31, 1997. This increase is primarily due to increased
compensation compared to the quarter ending December 31, 1998.

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 inteim periods; earlier application is
not permited. The Staement 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  staement  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.

Year 2000 Issue

The  year  2000  poses  an  important  business  issue  regarding  how  existing
application  software  programs and operating  systems can accommodate this date
value.  Many computer programs that can only distinguish the final two digits of
the year  entered  are  expected  to read  entries for the year 2000 as the year
1900. Like most financial  service  providers,  the Company may be significantly
affected by the Year 2000 issue due to the nature of financial information.  The
Company has been evaluating both information  technology  (computer  systems and
software) and

<PAGE>
                                                                              12


non-information  technology (i.e. vault timers, elevators,  electronic door lock
and heating, ventilation and air condition controls) both within and outside the
Company's  direct  control  and  with  which  the  Company   electronically   or
operationally  interfaces.  If computer  systems are not  adequately  changed to
identify  the  year  2000,  many  computer  applications  could  fail or  create
erroneous  results.  As a result,  many calculations that rely on the date field
information,  such  as  interest,  payment  or due  dates  and  other  operating
functions,  may generate results that could be significantly  misstated, and the
Company  could  experience  a temporary  inability to process  transactions  and
engage in normal business activities.

The Company  has also  initiated  formal  communications  with both  information
technology  and  non-information  technology  vendors to determine the extent to
which the Company's  interface systems may be vulnerable to those third parties'
failure to  remediate  their own Year 2000 issues.  We have  examined all of our
non-information  technology  systems and have either received  certifications of
Year  2000  compliance  for  systems  controlled  by third  party  providers  or
determined  that the systems  should not be impacted by the Year 2000. We expect
to further  test the systems we control and receive  third party  certification,
where  appropriate,  that they will  continue to function.  We do not expect any
material costs to address our  non-information  technology  systems and have not
had any  material  costs  to  date.  We have  determined  that  the  information
technology  systems  we use have  substantially  more  Year  2000  risk than the
non-information  technology systems we use. The Bank continues to evaluate their
information  technology  systems risk in three areas: (1) internal computers and
software,  (2)  computers of others used by our  borrowers,  (3)  external  data
processing  servicers.  There is no  significant  change in the Banks  Year 2000
status since the September 30, 1998 annual report.

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 4.59% during  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
4.00 percent of adjusted tangible assets;  and risk-based  capital equal to 8.00
percent of risk-based assets.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
      ITEM 3. - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Bank has established an  Asset/Liability  Management  Committee ("ALCO") for
the purpose of monitoring  and managing  interest rate risk. The Bank is subject
to the  risk of  interest  rate  fluctuations  to the  extent  that  there  is a
difference,  or  mismatch,  between  the amount of the  Bank's  interest-earning
assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities  which  mature or reprice in specified
periods.  Consequently,  when interest  rates  change,  to the extent the Bank's
interest-earning  assets have longer  maturities or effective  repricing periods
than its  interest-bearing  liabilities,  the  interest  income  realized on the
Bank's interest-earning assets will adjust more slowly than the interest expense
on its interest-bearing  liabilities. This mismatch in the maturity and interest
rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities is commonly referred to as the "gap."
A gap is considered  positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive  assets
maturing or repricing  during a specified  period exceeds the amount of interest
rate  sensitive  liabilities  maturing or repricing  during such period,  and is
considered  negative  when the amount of  interest  rate  sensitive  liabilities
maturing or repricing  during a specified  period exceeds the amount of interest
rate assets maturing or repricing during such period. Generally, during a period
of rising  interest  rates, a negative gap would  adversely  affect net interest
income while a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest  income,
and during a period of declining  interest rates, a negative gap would result in
an increase in net interest income while a positive gap would  adversely  affect
net interest  income.  The Bank  utilizes  internally  generated gap reports and
externally prepared interest rate sensitivity of the net portfolio value reports
to monitor and manage its interest rate risk.

The Company has  historically  invested in  interest-earning  assets that have a
longer duration than its interest-bearing  liabilities. The mismatch in duration
of the  interest-sensitive  liabilities  indicates  that the Bank is  exposed to
interest  rate risk. In a rising rate  environment,  in addition to reducing the
market  value of long-term  interest-earning  assets,  liabilities  will reprice
faster than assets; therefore,  decreasing net interest income. To mitigate this
risk, the Bank has placed a greater  emphasis on  shorter-term  higher  yielding
assets that reprice more frequently in reaction to interest rate  movements.  In
addition,  the Bank has continued to include in total assets a concentration  of
adjustable-rate   assets  to  benefit  the  one-year   cumulative  gap  as  such
adjustable-rate  assets  reprice and are more  responsive to the  sensitivity of
more frequently repricing interest-bearing liabilities.

Quarterly, the OTS prepares a report on the interest rate sensitivity of the net
portfolio value ("NPV") from information provided by the Bank. The OTS adopted a
rule in August 1993  incorporating an interest rate risk ("IRR")  component into
the risk-based capital rules.  Implementation of the rule has been delayed until
the OTS has tested the process under which  institutions may appeal such capital
deductions.  The IRR  component  is a dollar  amount that will be deducted  from
total capital for the purpose of calculating an institution's risk-based capital
requirement and is measured in terms of the sensitivity of its NPV to changes in
interest  rates.  The  NPV is  the  difference  between  incoming  and  outgoing
discounted  cash  flows  from  assets,   liabilities,   and  off-balance   sheet
contracts..  An  institution's  IRR is  measured as the change to its NPV as the
result of a  hypothetical  200 basis point change in market  interest  rates.  A
resulting  change in NPV of more than 2% if the  estimated  market  value of its
assets  will  require  the  institution  to deduct  from its capital 50% of that
excess  change.  The rule provides that the OTS will calculate the IRR component
quarterly for each institution.

The  following  tables  present  the  Bank's  NPV as  well as  other  data as of
September 30, 1998 (the most recent available),  as calculated by the OTS, based
on information provided to the OTS by the Bank.

</TABLE>

Certain  assumptions  utilized by the OTS in assessing the interest rate risk of
savings  associations  were  employed in  preparing  the previous  table.  These
assumptions  related to interest  rates,  loan prepayment  rates,  deposit decay
rates and the market  values of certain  assets under the various  interest rate
scenarios.  It was also  assumed  that  delinquency  rates  will not change as a
result of changes in interest rates although there can be no assurance that this
will be the case. Even if interest rates change in the designated amounts, there
can be no assurance that the Bank's assets and liabilities  would perform as set
forth above.

Certain  shortcomings  are inherent in the preceding NPV tables because the data
reflect  hypothetical  changes in NPV based upon  assumptions used by the OTS to
evaluate the Bank as well as other  institutions.  However,  net interest income
should decline with instantaneous increases in interest rates while net interest
income should increase with instantaneous declines in interest rates. Generally,
during periods of increasing  interest rates, the Bank's interest rate sensitive
liabilities would reprice faster than its interest rate sensitive assets causing
a decline in the Bank's interest rate spread and margin.  This would result from
an increase in the Bank's cost of funds that would not be immediately  offset by
an  increase  in its yield on earning  assets.  An increase in the cost of funds
without an  equivalent  increase  in the yield of earning  assets  would tend to
reduce net interest income.

In times of decreasing interest rates, fixed rate assets could increase in value
and the lag in repricing of interest rate sensitive  assets could be expected to
have a positive effect on the Bank's net interest  income.  However,  changes in
only certain rates,  such as shorter term interest rate declines  without longer
tem interest rate  declines,  could reduce or reverse the expected  benefit from
decreasing interest rates.
