               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General

On April 13, 1994, Southern Missouri Savings Bank (Savings Bank)
completed its conversion from mutual to stock form and became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed Delaware holding company,
Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (Company).  The Company sold
1,785,375 shares of common stock at $10 per share in conjunction
with the subscription offering to the Savings Bank Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP), eligible account holders and other members
of the Savings Bank.  In addition, 17,826 shares of authorized
common stock were granted to the Savings Bank's Management
Recognition Plan to fulfill its order in the subscription offering. 
Net proceeds of the sale of common stock in the subscription
offering were $15,160,161, after deduction of conversion costs of
$729,369.  The Company retained 50% of the net conversion proceeds
less the funds used to make the ESOP loan to the Savings Bank for
the purchase of shares of common stock for the Savings Bank's ESOP
and used the balance of the net proceeds to purchase all of the
stock of the Savings Bank in the conversion.

The Company has no significant assets other than common stock of
the Savings Bank and net proceeds retained by the Company following
the conversion.  The Company's principal business is the business
of the Savings Bank.  Therefore, the discussion in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations relates primarily to the Savings Bank and its
operations.

Certain statements in this report which relate to the Company's
plans, objectives or future performance may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Private Securities
Litigation Act of 1995.  Such statements are based on management's
current expectations.  Actual strategies and results in future
periods may differ materially from those currently expected because
of various risks and uncertainties.  Additional discussion of
factors affecting the Company's business and prospects is contained
in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Supervisory Agreement

On December 21, 1994, the Savings Bank voluntarily entered into a
Supervisory Agreement with the Office of Thirft Supervision (OTS),
its primary federal regulator.  The Supervisory Agreement generally
concerns the Savings Bank's investment portfolio and more
specifically focuses on the reporting, monitoring and assessment of
interest rate risk in connection with the Savings Bank's portfolio
of collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs).  As part of the
Supervisory Agreement, the Savings Bank has hired a Chief Financial
Officer.  In addition, the Savings Bank revised its Investment
Policy to conform more closely to the OTS's policy on securities
activities implemented additional procedures to review the
investment activities and monitor interest rate risk management. 
The Supervisory Agreement will remain in effect until it is
terminated by the OTS.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued




Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Savings Bank's principal sources of funds are cash receipts
from deposits, loan repayments by borrowers and net income.  The
Savings Bank has an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB) of Des Moines to provide cash advances, should the need for
additional funds be required.  Commitments to originate fixed rate
and adjustable-rate mortgage loans at September 30, 1996 were
approximately $133,000 and $4,217,000, respectively.

For regulatory purposes, liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash
and certain investments to withdrawable deposits.  The minimum
level of liquidity required by OTS regulation is presently 5%.  The
Savings Bank's liquidity ratio was approximately 10.6% at September
30, 1996.  The Savings Bank maintains a high level of liquidity as
a matter of management philosophy in order to more closely match
interest-sensitive assets with interest-sensitive liabilities.

The savings and loan industry historically has accepted interest
rate risk as a part of its operating philosophy.  Long-term, fixed-
rate loans were funded with deposits which adjust to market
interest rates more frequently.  In recent years, the Savings Bank
has originated primarily mortgage loans which permit adjustment of
the interest rate after an initial term of one to three years in
order to reduce inherent interest rate risk.

Investment and mortgage-backed and related securities with a
carrying value of $46,870,000 are classified as available for sale
at September 30, 1996.  Such securities are carried at fair value
and can be liquidated with no further impact on capital.  The
Company's unrealized gains and losses on investment and mortgage-
backed and related securities net of applicable income taxes, are
recorded in stockholders' equity.

The Savings Bank must maintain core capital equal to 3% of adjusted
total assets and maintain tangible capital equal to 1.5% of
adjusted total assets.  The Savings Bank must maintain risk-based
capital of 8% of risk adjusted total assets.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued


Financial Condition

Total assets increased slightly from $159,848,000 at June 30, 1996
to $160,124,000 at September 30, 1996.  Cash flows from sales,
maturities and prepayments of securities, advances from the FHLB of
Des Moines, and cash and cash equivalents were used to originate
loans.  The Savings Bank intends to borrow from the FHLB when the
cost of such borrowings is less than the overall cost of retail
deposits.  Foreclosed real estate, net, increased due to
foreclosure of two additional properties.  Premises and equipment
increased due to remodeling of the main banking facility, and an
automatic teller machine added to the Van Buren, MO branch.
Legislation was enacted September 30, 1996 to recapitalize the
Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF).  The Savings Bank will
be assessed .657 percent of deposits at March 31, 1995.  The
assessment of approximately $779,000 is expected to be paid on
November 28, 1996.  Accounts payable and other liabilities
increased due to the accrual of the assessment.

Additional paid-in capital and common stock acquired by the ESOP
and MRP changed as a result of the recognition of compensation
expense for the ESOP and MRP.  Unrealized loss on investment
securities and mortgage-backed and related securities available for
sale, net of income tax changed from a loss of $420,000 at June 30,
1996 to a loss of $273,000 at September 30, 1996.  The balance is
expected to fluctuate in the future based on changes in interest
rates, as well as the amount and maturities of securities and
mortgage-backed securities available for sale.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued



COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Net Income

Net income for the three-months ended September 30, 1996 was a loss
of $98,000 compared with net income of $302,000 for the three-
months ended September 30, 1995.  The loss was due to recording a
charge to income of $779,000 related to a special assessment for
the SAIF.  Effective January 1, 1997, SAIF assessments are expected
to be lower than the assessment rate paid in recent years.  The
effect of the non-recurring special assesment was offset, in part,
by a higher interest rate spread (difference between weighted-
average rate on all interest-bearing assets and all interest
bearing liabilities).

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $208,000 from $1.09 million for
1995 to $1.29 million in 1996.  Net interest income increased due
to a higher interest rate spread and higher interest-earning
assets.  Interest expense increased due to an increase in average
interest-bearing liabilities, offset by a decrease in weighted-
average rate on interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest Income

Interest income was $2.61 million for the three-months ended
September 30, 1995 compared with $2.88 million for 1996.

Interest on loans receivable increase from $1.64 million in 1995 to
$1.95 million in 1996 as a result of higher average loans
outstanding for 1996, and a higher yield.  The weighted-average
yield on loans increased from 7.55% for 1995 to 7.84% for 1996. 
New loans originated in 1996 generally had a higher interest rate
than those originated in 1995.  In addition, adjustable-rate
mortgage loans (AMLs) repriced upwards to reflect higher rates in
1996.  Interest on mortgage-backed securities (MBSs) increased due
to a higher average balance offset by a lower weighted average
yield.  The weighted-average yield on mortgage-backed securities
decreased from 6.75% in 1995 to 6.53% in 1996.  Interest on
investment securities decreased due to slightly lower interest
rates and a lower average balance.  The weighted-average yield on
investment securities decreased from 6.53% in 1995 to 6.46% in
1996.

Interest on other interest-earning assets decreased as a result of
a lower average balance offset by higher interest rates on
overnight funds and short term deposits.  Cash and cash equivalents
were used to originate loans.  The components of interest-bearing
assets change from time to time based on the availability and
interest rates of loans, investment securities, and MBSs.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $55,000 from $1.53 million in 1995 to
$1.58 million in 1996 due to higher average interest-bearing
liabilities offset by lower interest rates.  The weighted-average
rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.02% for the
three-months ended September 30, 1995 to 4.78% for the three-months
ended September 30, 1996.  

Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for loan losses are charged to earnings to bring the
total allowance for loan losses to a level considered adequate by
management to provide for loan losses based on prior loss
experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the
estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic
conditions.  Management also considers other factors relating to
the collectibility of the Savings Bank's loan portfolio.

For the three-months ended September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank
established a provision for loan losses of $17,500 compared with
$15,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 1995.

The book value of non-accrual loans at September 30, 1996 was
$977,000 compared to $546,000 at June 30, 1996.  The average
balance of nonaccrual loans for the three months ended September
30, 1996 was approximately $725,000.  Allowance for losses on
nonaccrual loans amounted to approximately $31,000 at September 30,
1996.  For the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
gross interest income which would have been recorded had nonaccrual
loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted
to approximately $13,000 and $14,000, respectively.  The amount of
interest income included in the Company's net earnings for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was approximately
$13,000 and $16,000, respectively.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased from $134,000 for the three-months
ended September 30, 1995 to $144,000 for 1996.  The Savings Bank
realized net gains on sales of securities and MBSs of $15,000 in
1995, compared to none in 1996.  Gains on sales of securities and
MBSs are not a stable source of income and no assurance can be
given that the Savings Bank will generate such gains in the future. 
Gain on sale of mortgage-backed securities held to maturity related
to small balance MBS's pools, which are permitted to be sold prior
to maturity under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115.  Commissions on insurance increased from $72,000 for 1995 to
$90,000 for 1996.  Banking service charges increased from $36,000
for 1995 to $39,000 for 1996 due to increased checking account
activity.

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued




Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased from $800,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 to $1,616,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996.  Compensation and benefits increased from
$533,000 for 1995 to $556,000 for 1996 due salary increases and
additional employees.  Occupancy and equipment expense decreased
$10,000 from $90,000 for 1995 to $80,000 for 1996 as result of
lower repairs and maintenance expenses.  Provision for losses on
foreclosed real estate was a net credit of $38,000 for 1995 and a
net credit of $3,000 for 1996 as a result of recognition of gain on
sales of foreclosed real estate.  Professional fees, which includes
supervisory examination fees, decreased from $31,000 for 1995 to
$24,000 for 1996.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $103,000 in 1995 compared to a tax benefit
of $97,000 for 1996 as a result of the SAIF special assessment. 
The effective rate of the tax benefit was affected by the
relationship of nontaxable municipal interest income to income
before income taxes.
