SUMMARY INFORMATION
The following is a brief summary of certain information contained elsewhere in
this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Although the following summary addresses
material information regarding the Merger, it is not intended to be complete and
is qualified in all respects by the information appearing elsewhere herein or
incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Appendices
hereto and the documents referred to herein. All information contained in this
Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to Mid-Missouri and its subsidiary has been
supplied by Mid-Missouri and all information relating to American Federal has
been supplied by American Federal. Stockholders are urged to read this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and the Appendices hereto in their entirety.
Introduction
This Proxy Statement/Prospectus relates to an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated December 6, 1996, as amended on February 13, 1997 (as amended, the "Merger
Agreement"), by and among American Federal Savings & Loan Association of
Sullivan, a Federal savings and loan association ("American Federal"), Mid-
Missouri Holding Company, Inc., a Missouri corporation ("Mid-Missouri"), and
Bank of Sullivan, a Missouri bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Mid-Missouri
("Subsidiary Bank"), which provides for, among other matters, the merger (the
"Merger") of American Federal with and into Subsidiary Bank, and in connection
therewith a proposal to amend Section 8 of the Federal Stock Charter of American
Federal (the "American Federal Charter"), to eliminate the five-year prohibition
on direct and indirect offers to acquire, and acquisitions of, more than ten
percent (10%) of any class of any equity security of American Federal (the
"Charter Amendment"). Both of these matters will be presented as a single item
for consideration and approval to the holders of the common stock, par value
$1.00 per share, of American Federal ("American Federal Common"), at the Special
Meeting (as hereinafter defined). In addition, the holders of American Federal
Common may be asked to vote on a proposal to adjourn or postpone the Special
Meeting, which adjournment or postponement could be used for the purpose, among
others, of allowing time for the solicitation of additional votes to approve the
Merger Agreement and the Charter Amendment. As a result of the Merger, Mid-
Missouri will retain beneficial ownership of all of the issued and outstanding
stock of Subsidiary Bank, and the separate corporate existence of American
Federal will cease.
The summary set forth in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus of certain provisions
of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Merger Agreement incorporated as Appendix A to this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. The summary set forth herein with respect to the Charter
Amendment is qualified in its entirety by Section 8 of the American Federal
Charter and the resolutions seeking amendment thereof, incorporated as Appendix
B and C, respectively, to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The principal executive offices of Mid-Missouri are located at 318 West Main
Street, Sullivan, Missouri 63080-0489 (telephone number (573) 468-3191).

mutual savings and loan association in 1962, and converted to stock form on
January 6, 1993. American Federal is headquartered in Sullivan, Missouri. At
December 31, 1996, American Federal had total assets of approximately $18.9
million, stockholders' equity of approximately $3.7 million, and approximately
100 stockholders. The principal executive offices of American Federal are
located at 20 Hughes Ford Road, Sullivan, Missouri 63080 (telephone number (573)
468-4176), which location is directly across the street from the principal
executive offices of Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank.
The Special Meeting
Date, Time and Place of the Special Meeting
The special meeting of stockholders of American Federal (the "Special
Meeting") will be held at the Odd Fellows Community Center, located at 77 Hughes
Ford Road, Sullivan, Missouri, on _________, 1997, at ______ a.m., local time.
Matters to be Considered at the Special Meeting
At the Special Meeting, holders of American Federal Common will consider and
vote upon the approval of the Merger Agreement providing for, among other
matters, the Merger of American Federal with and into Subsidiary Bank, and in
connection therewith an amendment to Section 8 of the American Federal Charter
to eliminate the five-year prohibition on direct and indirect offers to acquire,
and acquisitions of, more than ten percent (10%) of any class of any equity
security of American Federal. In addition, the holders of American Federal
Common may be asked to vote on a proposal to adjourn or postpone the Special
Meeting, which adjournment or postponement could be used for the purpose, among
others, of allowing time for the solicitation of additional votes to approve the
Charter Amendment and the Merger Agreement.
Record Date for the Special Meeting
The record date for the Special Meeting is ____________________, 1997.
Vote Required to Approve the Merger Agreement and the Charter Amendment
The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares
of American Federal Common entitled to vote on the record date is necessary to
constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Merger Agreement
will require the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares
of American Federal Common entitled to vote thereon. The Charter Amendment, if
presented as a separate proposal, would only require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares of American Federal Common entitled to vote
thereon. The Charter Amendment is, however, a part of the proposal to approve
the Merger Agreement. Holders of American Federal Common will be entitled to one
4
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
vote per share. The failure to submit a proxy card (or to vote in person) at the
Special Meeting, the abstention from voting at the Special Meeting and, in the
case of shares held in street name, the failure of the beneficial owner thereof
to give specific voting instructions to the broker holding such shares (broker
non-votes), will have the same effect as a vote against approval of the Merger
Agreement and the Charter Amendment.
Certain Holders of American Federal Common
As of the record date, the executive officers and directors of American
Federal and their affiliates owned beneficially 51,672 shares (approximately
34%) of American Federal Common, all of which are expected by management of
American Federal to be voted in favor of the Merger Agreement and the Charter
Amendment. The 51,672 shares includes 13,676 shares (approximately 9%) of
American Federal Common held by the American Federal Employee Stock Ownership
Plan for which Mr. Waller, Mr. McIntosh and Ms. Heady are trustees. In addition,
two directors of Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank, who are not also directors or
officers of American Federal, own a total 6,980 shares (approximately 4.6%) of
American Federal Common. These shares are also expected to be voted in favor of
the Merger Agreement and the Charter Amendment. See "INFORMATION ABOUT AMERICAN
FEDERAL -- Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."
Revocation of Proxies
Proxies for use at the Special Meeting accompany this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be
revoked by the grantor at any time prior to the voting thereof on the Merger
Agreement and the Charter Amendment by filing with the Secretary of American
Federal a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. A
holder of American Federal Common may revoke his or her proxy at the Special
Meeting at any time before it is exercised by giving notice of such revocation
to the Secretary of American Federal at the Special Meeting and voting in person
by ballot at such meeting; however, attendance at the Special Meeting will not
in and of itself constitute a revocation of the proxy.
The Merger
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Appendix A hereto and
incorporated herein by reference.
Merger Consideration
At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of
American Federal Common issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto, other
than shares held by any stockholder properly exercising and perfecting his or
her dissenters' rights under applicable federal law, will, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted
into the right to receive a combination of cash and shares of common stock, par
value $10.00 per share, of Mid-Missouri ("Mid-Missouri Common"), in the
proportions described below.
In the Merger, shares of American Federal Common will be converted into a
combination of cash and Mid-Missouri Common having an aggregate value equal to
the per share Closing Book Value (as hereinafter defined) of American Federal
(such aggregate amount of cash and Mid-Missouri Common is
5
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hereinafter referred to as the "Merger Consideration"). As used herein, the
term "Book Value" means the amount of an entity's consolidated stockholders'
equity accounts, exclusive of preferred stock, reduced by any and all accruals,
expenses, charge-offs, deductions or adjustments to the accounts in connection
with the Merger. As used herein, the term "Closing Book Value" means Book Value
determined as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in
which the date of the closing of the Merger (the "Closing Date") occurs in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
The aggregate value of the Merger Consideration received by all stockholders
of American Federal will be payable in a combination of cash (the "Cash
Component") and shares of Mid-Missouri Common (the "Stock Component"). The
amount of cash constituting the Cash Component will be the difference between
the Merger Consideration and the aggregate Closing Book Value of the Stock
Component. The number of shares of Mid-Missouri Common constituting the Stock
Component will be calculated as follows:
Total Assets of American Federal x .07
--------------------------------------
Per Share Book Value of Mid-Missouri Common
As used herein, the term "Total Assets" means the total assets as shown on the
books of American Federal as of the last day of the month immediately preceding
the month in which the Closing Date occurs and the term "Per Share Book Value"
means the amount of the consolidated shareholders' equity accounts, exclusive of
preferred stock, of Mid-Missouri as of the last day of the month immediately
preceding the month in which the Closing Date occurs divided by the number of
shares of common stock of Mid-Missouri outstanding on such date. The Stock
Component issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be increased, as
necessary, and the amount of the Cash Component payable will be decreased, as
necessary, such that the aggregate Book Value of the Stock Component, determined
as of the Closing Date, will not be less than forty percent (40%) of the Merger
Consideration.
Value of the Merger
Based on the approximate Book Value of American Federal at December 31, 1996,
calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement as described
above, the Merger Consideration had an approximate per share value of $24.54
($14.72 cash and .2051 share of Mid-Missouri Common) and an approximate total
value of $3.7 million to holders of American Federal Common. The value of the
Merger Consideration estimated above may increase or decrease depending on the
components making up the determination of American Federal's Book Value and the
date on which the Effective Time occurs.
The actual value of the Merger Consideration to be received by stockholders of
American Federal, including the number of shares of Mid-Missouri Common
constituting the Stock Component and the value of the Cash Component, cannot be
calculated as of the date of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the Boards of Directors
American Federal
The Board of Directors of American Federal has determined that the Merger and
the Merger Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, are fair to, and in
the best interests of, American Federal and its stockholders. The Board of
Directors of American Federal believes that a business combination with Mid-
Missouri would, in addition to providing significant value to all stockholders,
enable American Federal,

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as part of a larger institution, to compete more efficiently and effectively in
its market area and participate in the expanded opportunities for growth that
the Merger will make possible. ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT
STOCKHOLDERS OF AMERICAN FEDERAL VOTE FOR THE MERGER AGREEMENT PROVIDING FOR THE
MERGER AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, THE CHARTER AMENDMENT.
Certain members of the management and Board of Directors of American Federal
have interests in the Merger that are in addition to the interests of
stockholders of American Federal generally. See "THE MERGER AND THE CHARTER
AMENDMENT -- Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger."
Mid-Missouri
As part of its ongoing operations, Mid-Missouri continually is presented with
and seeks out acquisition opportunities to enhance its banking franchise. The
Board of Directors of Mid-Missouri believes the acquisition of American Federal
would be a natural and desirable addition to Mid-Missouri's existing banking
franchise.
Opinions of Financial Advisors
Norman Backues & Associates, Inc., American Federal's financial advisor, has
delivered a written opinion to the Board of Directors of American Federal
stating that, as of December 31, 1996, based on the matters set forth in such

Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of American
Federal Common. A copy of this written opinion, which sets forth the assumptions
made, the procedures followed, the matters considered and the limits on the
review undertaken by Norman Backues & Associates, Inc., is attached as Appendix

delivered a written opinion to the Board of Directors of Mid-Missouri stating
that, as of December 31, 1996, based on the matters set forth in such opinion,
the consideration to be paid by Mid-Missouri pursuant to the Merger Agreement is
fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the common stock of Mid-
Missouri. The written opinion delivered by Lexington Financial Group, L.L.C.,
which sets forth the assumptions made, the procedures followed, the matters
considered and the limits on the review undertaken by Lexington Financial Group,
L.L.C., is attached as Appendix E to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the
holders of American Federal Common are urged to read carefully this written
opinion in its entirety. See "THE MERGER AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT -- Opinions
of the Financial Advisors."
Conduct of Business Pending the Merger; Dividends
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, American Federal has agreed to carry on its
business in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same
manner as conducted prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement. The Merger
Agreement provides that, after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the
Effective Time or the earlier termination of the Merger Agreement, American
Federal may not declare and/or pay any dividend or make any other distribution
to stockholders, whether in cash, stock or other property.

Conditions to the Merger; Regulatory Approvals
The Merger is subject to various conditions including, among other things: (i)
approval of the Merger Agreement, by the requisite two-thirds vote of the
stockholders of American Federal, and the Charter Amendment; (ii) receipt of
regulatory approval from Missouri Division of Finance (the "Division of
Finance") and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "F.D.I.C."), and
the submission of notice to the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "O.T.S."),
with respect to the Merger; (iii) receipt of an opinion of counsel to Mid-
Missouri on certain tax aspects of the Merger; and (iv) the occurrence of no
material adverse changes in the businesses of Mid-Missouri or American Federal.
The conditions described in items (i) and (ii) above (the receipt of stockholder
and regulatory approvals) may not be waived by any party. Although the remaining
conditions to effect the Merger may be waived by any party entitled to the
benefit thereof, neither Mid-Missouri, Subsidiary Bank nor American Federal
intend to waive any such conditions except in those circumstances where the
Board of Directors of either Mid-Missouri, Subsidiary Bank or American Federal,
as the case may be, deems such waiver to be in the best interests of Mid-
Missouri, Subsidiary Bank or American Federal, as the case may be, and its
respective shareholders and stockholders. There can be no assurances as to when
and if such conditions will be satisfied (or, where permissible, waived) or that
the Merger will be consummated.
Applications for the required regulatory approval of the Merger from the
Division of Finance and the F.D.I.C. have been filed and are pending, and the
required notice has been provided to the O.T.S. It is anticipated that the
Division of Finance approval will be received during the second quarter of 1997,
and that F.D.I.C. approval will be received during the same period, but no
assurance can be given that this timetable will be met.
Termination of the Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective
Time: (i) by any party if the Merger is not consummated on or prior to June 20,
1997; provided, however, a party which is then in breach of its obligations or
covenants under the Merger Agreement in any material respect may not exercise
such right to terminate unless the other party is in breach of its obligations
or covenants under the Merger Agreement in any material respect; (ii) by mutual
written agreement of the parties; (iii) by any party in the event of a material
breach by the other of any of its representations and warranties or agreements
under the Merger Agreement not cured within 30 days after written notice of such
breach is given by the non-breaching party; (iv) by any party in the event any
of the conditions to its obligations are not satisfied or waived (and not cured
within any applicable cure period); (v) by Mid-Missouri in the event that
American Federal becomes a party or subject to any new or amended written
agreement, memorandum of understanding, cease and desist order, imposition of
civil money penalties or other regulatory enforcement action or proceeding with
any federal or state agency charged with the supervision or regulation of
thrifts or banks after the date of the Merger Agreement which is significant to
American Federal's overall business, operations or financial condition; (vi) by
any party with written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of May 16, 1997,
if any regulatory application filed in connection with the Merger should be
finally denied or disapproved by the applicable regulatory authority or if Mid-
Missouri fails to obtain any regulatory approvals required to consummate the
Merger on or before May 16, 1997; and (vii) by any party if the stockholders of
American Federal do not approve the Merger.

Federal Income Tax Consequences
The Merger has been structured to qualify as a reorganization under Section
368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Except
for stockholders perfecting their dissenters' rights, and cash received
constituting the Cash Component of the Merger Consideration, holders of shares
of American Federal Common will recognize no gain or dividend income on the
receipt of Mid-Missouri Common in the Merger. Additionally, a stockholder's
aggregate basis in the shares of Mid-Missouri Common received in the Merger will
be the same as his or her aggregate basis in the shares of American Federal
Common converted in the Merger decreased by the amount of cash received by such
stockholder and increased by the amount, if any, treated as a dividend and the
amount of gain, if any, recognized by such stockholder on the exchange.
Provided the shares surrendered are held as capital assets, the holding period
of the shares of Mid-Missouri Common received by stockholders will include the
holding period of their shares of American Federal Common exchanged therefor.
Cash received as the Cash Component of the Merger Consideration and cash
received by stockholders exercising their dissenters' rights will be treated as
a distribution in full payment of such interests, or shares surrendered in
exercise of dissenters' rights, resulting in capital gain or ordinary income, as
the case may be, depending upon each stockholder's particular situation. Mid-
Missouri, American Federal and Subsidiary Bank will each be a "party to a
reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and no gain
will be recognized by Mid-Missouri, American Federal or Subsidiary Bank by
reason of the Merger.
THE FOREGOING IS A GENERAL SUMMARY OF ALL OF THE MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO AMERICAN FEDERAL STOCKHOLDERS, WITHOUT REGARD TO
THE PARTICULAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH STOCKHOLDER'S TAX SITUATION AND
STATUS. EACH AMERICAN FEDERAL STOCKHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX
ADVISOR REGARDING ANY SUCH SPECIFIC TAX SITUATION AND STATUS, INCLUDING THE
APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN LAWS AND THE
POSSIBLE EFFECT OF CHANGES IN FEDERAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
Accounting Treatment
The Merger will be accounted for by Mid-Missouri under the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16,
"Business Combinations," as amended. Under this method of accounting, the
purchase price will be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair values at the Effective Time. Income of the
combined entity will not include results of operations of American Federal prior
to the Effective Time.
Effective Time of the Merger
The Merger Agreement provides that the Merger will become effective upon the
filing for record a copy of the short-form merger agreement required by law in
the office of the recorder of deeds of Franklin County, Missouri and Crawford
County, Missouri. It is presently anticipated that the Merger will become
effective during the second quarter of 1997, but no assurance can be given that
such timetable will be met.

<PAGE>
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger
Certain members of American Federal's management and Board of Directors have
interests in the Merger that are in addition to, and separate from, the
interests of stockholders of American Federal generally. These include, among
others, provisions in the Merger Agreement relating to director and officer
indemnification after the Merger.
For information about the percentage of American Federal Common owned by the
directors and executive officers of American Federal, see "INFORMATION ABOUT
AMERICAN FEDERAL -- Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management." None of the directors or executive officers of American Federal
would own, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Merger, more than 26% of
the issued and outstanding shares of Mid-Missouri Common.
Dissenters' Rights
Under federal banking law, holders of American Federal Common who (i) dissent
from the Merger, (ii) do not vote in favor of the Merger, and (iii) meet the
procedural requirements, have the right to demand payment of the fair or
appraised value of such stock. Any holders of American Federal Common electing
to make a demand for the fair or appraised value of such stock must deliver to
American Federal, before voting on the Merger, a writing identifying himself or
herself and stating his or her intent thereby to demand appraisal of and payment
for his or her shares. Such demand must be in addition to and separate from any
proxy or vote against the Merger. See "THE MERGER AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT --
Dissenters' Rights" and Appendix F hereto.
Management and Operations After the Merger
Subsidiary Bank will be the surviving bank in the Merger. The Board of
Directors of Subsidiary Bank will continue following the Merger. Following
consummation of the Merger, the present executive office of American Federal,
which is owned by American Federal, will not be maintained as a branch office of
Subsidiary Bank. The Board of Directors and management of Mid-Missouri have not
yet determined whether they will utilize the present executive offices of
American Federal or lease or sell the facility. The majority of the space in
the building owned by American Federal and in which American Federal maintains
its executive offices is presently leased to non-related businesses.
The Charter Amendment
General
Section 8.A. of the American Federal Charter provides that during the 5-year
period beginning on January 6, 1993 and ending on January 6, 1998, no person
shall, subject to certain exceptions, directly or indirectly offer to acquire or
acquire the beneficial ownership of more than ten percent (10%) of any class of
any equity security of American Federal. Section 8 of the American Federal
Charter is attached hereto in its entirety as Appendix B. As discussed above,
the Board of Directors of American Federal has determined that the Merger and
the Merger Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, are fair to, and in
the best interests of, American Federal and its stockholders. As such, in order
to complete the Merger
10
<PAGE>
it is necessary to repeal Section 8.A. A copy of the proposed stockholders
resolutions to approve the Merger Agreement and to amend the American Federal
Charter to repeal Section 8.A. thereof are attached hereto as Appendix C.
ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS OF AMERICAN FEDERAL VOTE FOR
THE MERGER AGREEMENT PROVIDING FOR THE MERGER AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, THE
CHARTER AMENDMENT.
Conditions to the Charter Amendment; Regulatory Approvals; Effective Time
Amending the American Federal Charter requires that the amendment first be
proposed by the association's Board of Directors and thereafter approved by the
stockholders of American Federal at the Special Meeting. At its regular meeting
on March 5, 1997, the Board of Directors of American Federal proposed that the
Charter Amendment be presented to the stockholders of American Federal.
According to the O.T.S., the Charter Amendment will become effective upon
approval by the stockholders of American Federal in accordance with the American
Federal Charter and Bylaws. Thereupon, American Federal must provide written
notice of such approval to the O.T.S. No additional approvals by the O.T.S. or
any other regulatory authorities are required in connection with consummation of
the Charter Amendment.
Comparison of Shareholder Rights
The rights of the stockholders of American Federal Common and the shareholders
of Mid-Missouri Common differ in certain respects. The rights of the
stockholders of American Federal who receive shares of Mid-Missouri Common in
the Merger will be governed by the corporate law of Missouri, the state in which
Mid-Missouri is incorporated, and by Mid-Missouri's Articles of Incorporation,
Bylaws and other corporate documents. The governing law and documents of Mid-
Missouri differ from those which apply to American Federal, which is a federal
savings and loan association, in several respects. The material differences
between American Federal Common and Mid-Missouri Common from the perspective of
the shareholders, as described in more detail under "COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER
RIGHTS," are the procedures for shareholders to make proposals for consideration
at meetings of shareholders; the ability of shareholders to amend the Articles
or Certificate of Incorporation; and rights of Mid-Missouri and its shareholders
pursuant to certain corporate takeover statutes. See "COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER
RIGHTS."

COMPARATIVE STOCK PRICES
There is no established trading market for shares of Mid-Missouri Common or
shares of American Federal Common. Mid-Missouri and American Federal have had
minimal transfers of their respective common shares during 1994, 1995 and 1996.
To the best knowledge of Mid-Missouri and American Federal, the transfers that
have occurred in such stock primarily relate to estate planning transactions.
The management of Mid-Missouri and American Federal have no knowledge of the
prices used in or the values assigned to such transfers.

SELECTED COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA
The following summary presents comparative historical, pro forma and pro
forma equivalent unaudited per share data for Mid-Missouri and American Federal.
The pro forma amounts assume the Merger had been effective during the period
presented and has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
For a description of the purchase method of accounting with respect to the
Merger, see "THE MERGER AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT -- Accounting Treatment."
The amounts designated "Pro Forma Combined Per Mid-Missouri Share" represent
the pro forma results of the Merger, the amounts designated "Equivalent Pro
Forma Per American Federal Share" are computed by multiplying the Pro Forma
Combined Per Mid-Missouri Share amounts by a factor of .2051 to reflect the
Merger Consideration (which is assumed to equal $14.72 in cash plus .2051 shares
of Mid-Missouri Common for each share of American Federal Common). See "THE
MERGER AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT -- Merger Consideration."
The data presented should be read in conjunction with the more detailed
information and financial statements included herein or incorporated by

Missouri"), and Bank of Sullivan, a Missouri bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Mid-Missouri ("Subsidiary Bank"), providing for, among other matters, the merger
(the "Merger") of American Federal with and into Subsidiary Bank, and in
connection therewith an amendment to Section 8 of the Federal Stock Charter of
American Federal (the "American Federal Charter") to eliminate the five-year
prohibition on direct and indirect offers to acquire, and acquisitions of, more
than ten percent (10%) of any class of any equity security of American Federal
(the "Charter Amendment"). Both of these matters will be presented as a single
item for consideration and approval to the stockholders of American Federal at
the Special Meeting. In addition, the holders of American Federal Common may be
asked to vote on a proposal to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting, which
adjournment or postponement could be used for the purpose, among others, of
allowing time for the solicitation of additional votes to approve the Merger
Agreement and the Charter Amendment.
Record Date for the Special Meeting
The Board of Directors of American Federal has fixed the close of business on
_________________, 1997, as the record date (the "Record Date") for the
determination of holders of shares of American Federal Common to receive notice
of and to vote at the Special Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 152,087
shares of American Federal Common outstanding held by approximately 100
stockholders. Only holders of shares of American Federal Common of record on
the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. No shares of
American Federal Common can be voted at the Special Meeting unless the record
holder is present in person or represented by proxy.
Vote Required to Approve the Merger Agreement and the Charter Amendment
The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of
American Federal Common entitled to vote on the Record Date is necessary to
constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Merger Agreement
will require the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding shares
of American Federal Common entitled to vote thereon. The Charter Amendment, if
presented as a separate proposal, would only require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares of American Federal
17
<PAGE>
Common entitled to vote thereon. The Charter Amendment is, however, a part of
the proposal to approve the Merger Agreement. Each holder of American Federal
Common is entitled to one vote per share of American Federal Common held by him
or her on the Record Date. Proxies marked as abstentions and shares held in
street name, which have been designated by brokers on proxy cards as not voted,
will not be counted as votes cast and, as a result, will have the same effect as
a vote against the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby,
including the Merger, and the Charter Amendment. Proxies marked as abstentions,
however, will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining whether a
quorum is present.
As of the Record Date, the executive officers and directors of American
Federal and their affiliates have the power to vote 51,672 shares (approximately
34% of American Federal Common), including 13,676 shares (approximately 9% of
American Federal Common) held by the American Federal Employee Stock Ownership
Plan for which Mr. Waller, Mr. McIntosh and Ms. Heady are trustees, all of which
are expected by management of American Federal to be voted in favor of the
Merger Agreement and the Charter Amendment. For information regarding the
shares of American Federal Common beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by
certain stockholders, by each director and executive officer of American
Federal, and by all directors and officers of American Federal as a group, see
"INFORMATION ABOUT AMERICAN FEDERAL -- Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management." In addition, two directors of Mid-Missouri and
Subsidiary Bank, who are not also directors or officers of American Federal, own
a total 6,980 shares (approximately 4.6%) of American Federal Common. These
shares are also expected to be voted in favor of the Merger Agreement and the
Charter Amendment.
Voting and Revocation of Proxies for the Special Meeting
Proxies for use at the Special Meeting accompany this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus. A stockholder may use his or her proxy if he or she is
unable to attend the Special Meeting in person or wishes to have his or her
shares voted by proxy even if he or she does attend the Special Meeting. Shares
of American Federal Common represented by a proxy properly signed and returned
to American Federal at, or prior to, the Special Meeting, unless subsequently
revoked, will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the
instructions thereon. If a proxy is properly signed and returned and the manner
of voting is not indicated on the proxy, all shares of American Federal Common
represented by such proxy will be voted FOR the Merger Agreement providing for
the Merger and, in connection therewith, the Charter Amendment, and FOR any
proposal regarding adjournment or postponement, if such a proposal is made. The
failure to submit a proxy card (or to vote in person) at the Special Meeting,
the abstention from voting at the Special Meeting and, in the case of shares
held in street name, the failure of the beneficial owner thereof to give
specific voting instructions to the broker holding such shares (broker non-
votes), will have the same effect as a vote against approval of the Merger
Agreement and, in connection therewith, the Charter Amendment.
Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the grantor at
any time prior to the voting thereof on the Merger Agreement and, in connection
therewith, the Charter Amendment by filing with the Secretary of American
Federal a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. A
holder of American Federal Common who previously signed and returned a proxy and
who elects to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person may revoke his or
her proxy at any time before it is exercised by giving notice of such revocation
to the Secretary of American Federal at the Special Meeting and voting in person
by ballot at the Special Meeting; however, attendance at the Special Meeting
will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of the proxy.
18
<PAGE>
Solicitation of Proxies for the Special Meeting
In addition to solicitation of proxies from stockholders of American Federal
Common by American Federal through mail, proxies also may be solicited by
personal interview, telephone and wire by directors, officers and employees of
American Federal, who will not be specifically compensated for such services.
It is expected that banks, brokerage houses and others will be requested to
forward soliciting material to their principals and obtain authorization for the
execution of proxies. Except as set forth herein, all costs of soliciting
proxies, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and all papers
which now accompany or hereafter may supplement the same will be borne by
American Federal and Mid-Missouri as they determine.
Expenses for Preparation of Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Mid-Missouri and American Federal have agreed to share in the expense of
preparing this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and Mid-Missouri will bear the entire
cost of printing this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and all Securities and Exchange
Commission ("S.E.C.") and other regulatory filing fees incurred in connection
therewith.
Mailing Date of Proxy Statement/Prospectus
This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the attached notice of Special Meeting and
the enclosed proxy card are first being sent to stockholders of American Federal
on or about _______________, 1997 (the "Mailing Date").

Relationship of the Parties
Mid-Missouri and American Federal have had an ongoing relationship due
principally to the participation of Mr. John Waller on the boards of directors
of both entities. Despite this relationship, however, neither Mid-Missouri nor
Subsidiary Bank has engaged in any material contracts, arrangements,
understandings, other material relationships, negotiations (other than in
connection with the proposed Merger) or transactions, directors elections
included, with American Federal. Both institutions have in all respects
operated independently. Baird, Kurtz & Dobson currently provides accounting
services for both Mid-Missouri and American Federal. The law firm of Lewis,
Rice & Fingersh, L.C. currently represents Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank in
connection with the proposed Merger. In the past, Lewis Rice & Fingersh, L.C.
represented American Federal with respect to certain legal matters. The law
firm of Sandberg, Phoenix and von Gontard, P.C. currently represents American
Federal with respect to the proposed Merger. Sandberg, Phoenix and von Gontard,
P.C. has represented Subsidiary Bank in the past and currently represents it in
connection with matters wholly unrelated to the Merger. American Federal has
received a fairness opinion from Norman Backues & Associates, Inc., a copy of
which is included in Appendix D hereto. Mid-Missouri has received a fairness
opinion from Lexington Financial Group, L.L.C., a copy of which is included in
Appendix E hereto. See "THE MERGER AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT -- Opinions of the
Financial Advisors."
THE MERGER AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT

the Merger and the Charter Amendment, including the principal provisions of the
Merger Agreement. The following information relating to the Merger and the
Charter Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the other
information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including
the Appendices hereto and the documents incorporated herein by reference. A
copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Appendix A and is
incorporated by reference herein. Reference is made thereto for a complete
description of the terms of the Merger. A copy of Section 8 of the American
Federal Charter is attached hereto as Appendix B and is incorporated by
reference herein. A copy of the resolutions to be presented to the stockholders
of American Federal with respect to approval of the Merger Agreement and the
Charter Amendment are attached hereto as Appendix C and are incorporated by
reference herein. Reference is made to such Appendices for a complete
description of the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Charter Amendment. All
stockholders of American Federal are urged to read Appendix A, Appendix B and
Appendix C in their entirety.
Background of the Merger
At its regular meeting on July 9, 1996, the Board of Directors of Mid-
Missouri first formally discussed the possibility of effecting a business
combination involving American Federal and either Mid-Missouri or Subsidiary
Bank in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Board of
Directors of Mid-Missouri believed that a combination with American Federal,
whose executive offices are located across the street from Subsidiary Bank,
would provide a number of efficiencies. At such meeting, the Mid-Missouri board
unanimously approved a motion that, following receipt of any and all federal and
state regulatory approvals and all board and shareholder approvals required by
law, Mid-Missouri or Subsidiary Bank effect a business combination with American
Federal wherein shares of Mid-Missouri Common would be exchanged for shares of
American Federal Common on a dollar for dollar basis based on the capital value
of the stock of each
20
<PAGE>
institution as of the day immediately prior to the date of approval of the
proposed combination. Shortly thereafter, management of Mid-Missouri officially
approached management of American Federal with respect to such a business
combination. At its regular meeting on August 7, 1996, the Board of Directors
of American Federal approved resolutions expressing an interest in effecting a
business combination involving Mid-Missouri and authorizing management of
American Federal to proceed with the negotiation of suitable terms and
conditions. The Board of Directors of Mid-Missouri approved similar resolutions
at its September 10, 1996 regular meeting. Since John W. Waller serves on the
Mid-Missouri Board of Directors, the Subsidiary Bank Board of Directors and the
American Federal Board of Directors, the Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank boards
of directors selected E. Milt Branum, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer
of Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank, to handle the negotiations on behalf of
Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank. The American Federal Board of Directors
selected Rita J. Heady, Executive Vice President of American Federal, to
negotiate on behalf of American Federal.
Following extensive discussions between Mid-Missouri and American Federal,
and their respective legal and financial advisors, the parties agreed to a form
of agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which American Federal would merge
with and into Subsidiary Bank, with Subsidiary Bank being the survivor under its
charter. This form of merger agreement was approved, subject to certain
specified revisions, by the Board of Directors of Mid-Missouri at its regular
meeting on November 12, 1996, and by the Board of Directors of American Federal
at a special meeting on November 15, 1996. The Merger Agreement was executed by
the parties on December 6, 1996. On January 13, 1997, the boards of directors
of Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank, at their respective regular meetings,
approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects the Merger Agreement, as
executed, and the transactions contemplated thereby. On February 5, 1997, the
parties executed a First Amendment to the Merger Agreement extending certain
deadlines and including as a condition to the Merger the approval by the Mid-
Missouri shareholders of an amendment to the company's Articles of Incorporation
increasing the number of authorized shares of Mid-Missouri Common from 200,000
to 300,000 shares in order to provide a sufficient number of shares of Mid-
Missouri Common to be issued in connection with the Merger. This First
Amendment was approved, ratified and confirmed by the boards of directors of
Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank at their respective regular meetings on
February 11, 1997, and by the Board of Directors of American Federal at its
regular meeting on February 5, 1997. The shareholders of Mid-Missouri, by a
vote of 191,010 shares for (representing approximately 95.6% of the Mid-Missouri
Common) and 0 shares against, approved the amendment to the Mid-Missouri
Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares at a
special meeting of shareholders duly called and held on February 28, 1997. The
Missouri Secretary of State issued a Certificate of Amendment with respect to
this Amendment to Mid-Missouri's Articles of Incorporation on March 5, 1997,
causing such amendment to become effective.
Background of the Charter Amendment
Section 8.A. of the American Federal Charter provides that during the 5-year
period beginning on January 6, 1993 and ending on January 6, 1998, no person
shall directly or indirectly offer to acquire or acquire the beneficial
ownership of more than ten percent (10%) of any class of any equity security of
American Federal except for (i) a transaction in which American Federal forms a
holding company without a change in the respective beneficial ownership
interests of its stockholders other than pursuant to the exercise of any
dissenter and appraisal rights, (ii) the purchase of shares by underwriters in
connection with a public offering, or (iii) the purchase of shares by a tax-
qualified employee stock benefit plan which is exempt from the approval
requirements under Section 574.3(c)(1)(vi) of the regulations of the O.T.S. In
the event shares are acquired in violation of this prohibition, all shares
beneficially owned by any person in excess of ten percent (10%) will not be
counted as shares entitled to vote and will not be voted by any person or
counted as voting shares in connection with any matter submitted to the
stockholders for a vote. Section 8 of the American Federal Charter
21
<PAGE>
is attached hereto in its entirety as Appendix B. As discussed above, the Board
of Directors of American Federal has determined that the Merger and the Merger
Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, are fair to, and in the best
interests of, American Federal and its stockholders. As such, in order to
complete the Merger it is necessary to repeal Section 8.A. A copy of the
proposed stockholders resolutions to approve the Merger Agreement and to amend
the American Federal Charter to repeal Section 8.A. are attached hereto as
Appendix C.
Reasons for the Merger
American Federal.
The Board of Directors of American Federal has determined that the Merger and
the Merger Agreement, including the Merger Consideration (as defined herein),
are fair to, and in the best interests of, American Federal and its
stockholders. The Board of Directors of American Federal believes that a
business combination with a larger financial institution would provide
significant value to all stockholders, enable American Federal to compete more
effectively in its market area and participate in the expanded opportunities for
growth. Accordingly, the Board recommends that stockholders of American Federal
vote FOR approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement providing for the Merger
and, in connection therewith, the Charter Amendment.
Certain members of the management and Board of Directors of American Federal
have interests in the Merger that are in addition to the interests of the
American Federal stockholders generally. See "THE MERGER AND THE CHARTER
AMENDMENT -- Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger."
Mid-Missouri.
As part of its ongoing operations, Mid-Missouri continually is presented with
and seeks out acquisition opportunities to enhance its banking franchise. The
Board of Directors of Mid-Missouri believes the acquisition of American Federal
would be a natural and desirable addition to Mid-Missouri's existing banking
franchise.
Opinions of the Financial Advisors
Norman Backues & Associates, Inc., American Federal's financial advisor, has
delivered a written opinion to the Board of Directors of American Federal
stating that, as of December 31, 1996, based on the matters set forth in such
opinion, the consideration to be paid by Mid-Missouri pursuant to the Merger
Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of American
Federal Common. A copy of this written opinion, which sets forth the
assumptions made, the procedures followed, the matters considered and the limits
on the review undertaken by Norman Backues & Associates, Inc., is attached as
Appendix D to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the holders of American
Federal Common are urged to read carefully this written opinion in its entirety.
The American Federal Board of Directors retained Norman Backues & Associates,
Inc. based upon its experience and expertise with regard to the banking industry
and merger and acquisition transactions. It is regularly engaged in the
independent valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers,
acquisitions, sales and distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private
placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Pursuant to its
engagement with Norman Backues & Associates, Inc., American Federal agreed to
pay that firm an estimated fee of $2,500.
22
<PAGE>
Lexington Financial Group, L.L.C., Mid-Missouri's financial advisor, has
delivered a written opinion to the Board of Directors of Mid-Missouri stating
that, as of December 31, 1996, based on the matters set forth in such opinion,
the consideration to be paid by Mid-Missouri pursuant to the Merger Agreement is
fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the common stock of Mid-
Missouri. A copy of the written opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made,
the procedures followed, the matters considered and the limits on the review
undertaken by Lexington Financial Group, L.L.C., is attached as Appendix E to
this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the holders of American Federal Common are
urged to read carefully this written opinion in its entirety.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
FOR THE REASONS SET FORTH ABOVE, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF AMERICAN FEDERAL
RECOMMENDS THAT THE HOLDERS OF AMERICAN FEDERAL COMMON VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL AND
ADOPTION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT PROVIDING FOR THE MERGER AND, IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH, THE CHARTER AMENDMENT.
Merger Consideration
At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each share of
American Federal Common issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto, other
than shares held by any stockholder properly exercising and perfecting his or
her dissenters' rights under applicable federal law, will, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted
into the right to receive a combination of cash and shares of Mid-Missouri
Common, in the proportions described below.
In the Merger, shares of American Federal Common will be converted into a
combination of cash and Mid-Missouri Common having an aggregate value equal to
the per share Closing Book Value (as hereinafter defined) of American Federal
(such aggregate amount of cash and Mid-Missouri Common is hereinafter referred
to as the "Merger Consideration"). As used herein, the term "Book Value" means
the amount of an entity's consolidated stockholders' equity accounts, exclusive
of preferred stock, reduced by any and all accruals, expenses, charge-offs,
deductions or adjustments to the accounts in connection with the Merger. As
used herein, the term "Closing Book Value" means Book Value determined as of the
last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the date of the
closing of the Merger (the "Closing Date") occurs in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
The aggregate value of the Merger Consideration received by all stockholders
of American Federal will be payable in a combination of cash (the "Cash
Component") and shares of Mid-Missouri Common (the "Stock Component"). The
amount of cash constituting the Cash Component will be the difference between
the Merger Consideration and the aggregate Book Value of the Stock Component.
The number of shares of Mid-Missouri Common constituting the Stock Component
will be calculated as follows:
Total Assets of American Federal x .07
--------------------------------------
Per Share Book Value of Mid-Missouri Common
As used herein, the term "Total Assets" means the total assets as shown on the
books of American Federal as of the last day of the month immediately preceding
the month in which the Closing Date occurs, and the term "Per Share Book Value"
means the amount of consolidated stockholders' equity accounts, exclusive of
preferred stock, of Mid-Missouri as of the last day of the month immediately
preceding the month in which the Closing
23
<PAGE>
Date occurs. The Stock Component issuable pursuant to the Merger Agreement will
be increased, as necessary, and the amount of the Cash Component payable will be
decreased, as necessary, such that the aggregate Book Value of the Stock
Component, determined as of the Closing Date, will not be less than forty
percent (40%) of the Merger Consideration.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of Mid-Missouri Common will be issued and, in lieu
thereof, holders of American Federal Common who would otherwise be entitled to a
fractional share interest of Mid-Missouri Common (after taking into account all
shares of American Federal Common held by such holder) will be paid an amount in
cash (which will be added to, and considered a part of, the Cash Component) in
an amount equal to the product of such fractional share interest and the Book
Value of a share of Mid-Missouri Common. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
number of whole shares of Mid-Missouri Common issued to each stockholder of
American Federal will be increased, as necessary, and the Cash Component of the
Merger Consideration payable to each stockholder of American Federal will be
decreased, as necessary, such that the aggregate Book Value of the Stock
Component of the Merger Consideration, determined as of the Closing Date, will
be not less than 40% of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to all
stockholders of American Federal.
Form of the Merger
The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver
(where permissible) of the conditions set forth therein, at the Effective Time,
American Federal will merge into Subsidiary Bank, and Subsidiary Bank will be
the surviving institution in the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger,
Subsidiary Bank will continue to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Mid-Missouri,
and the separate corporate existence of American Federal will terminate.
Closing Date; Effective Time
The Merger Agreement provides that the Closing of the Merger will take place
at the close of business on the last business day of the month during which all
of the conditions to the Merger are satisfied or waived (where permissible), or
on such other date thereafter as Mid-Missouri and American Federal may agree.
The Merger Agreement provides that the Merger will become effective upon the
filing for record of a copy of the short-form merger agreement attached to the
Merger Agreement as Exhibit 1.07 (the "Statutory Merger Agreement") in the
offices of the recorder of deeds of Franklin County, Missouri and Crawford
County, Missouri. Assuming that the Merger is approved by the requisite vote of
the stockholders of American Federal and that the other conditions to the Merger
are satisfied or waived (where permissible), it is presently anticipated that
the Merger will be consummated during the second quarter of 1997, but no
assurance can be given that such timetable will be met.
Conduct of Business Pending the Merger; Dividends
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, American Federal has agreed to carry on its
business in the usual, regular and ordinary course in substantially the same
manner as conducted prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement. The Merger
Agreement provides that American Federal may not declare or pay a dividend or
make any other distribution to stockholders, whether in cash, stock or other
property, after December 6, 1996.
24
<PAGE>
Regulatory Approvals
The Merger.
The Merger is subject to the prior approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "F.D.I.C.") and the Missouri Division of Finance (the "Division
of Finance") and it is also subject to prior notice requirements imposed by the
Office of Thrift Supervision (the "O.T.S."). The federal Bank Merger Act
requires that the F.D.I.C. take into consideration the financial and managerial
resources and future prospects of the existing and proposed institutions and the
convenience and needs of the communities they serve. The Bank Merger Act also
prohibits the F.D.I.C. from approving the Merger if it would result in a
monopoly or be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or
to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United
States, or its effect in any section of the country may be substantially to
lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly, or if it would in any other
manner be a restraint of trade, unless the F.D.I.C. finds that the
anticompetitive effects of the Merger are clearly outweighed in the public
interest by the probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience
and needs of the communities to be served.
Under the Bank Merger Act, the Merger may not be consummated until the
thirtieth day following the date of F.D.I.C. approval, during which time the
United States Department of Justice may challenge the Merger on antitrust
grounds; the Merger may, however, be consummated after the fifteenth day
following the date of F.D.I.C. approval if the F.D.I.C. has not received any
adverse comments from the United States Department of Justice relating to the
competitive aspects of the transaction, and the Department of Justice has
consented to such shorter waiting period. The commencement of an antitrust
action would stay the effectiveness of the F.D.I.C.'s approval unless a court
specifically orders otherwise.
Under the Missouri Banking Act and the Missouri Savings and Loan Law, the
Merger Agreement, including the Statutory Merger Agreement, must be approved or
disapproved by the Division of Finance within thirty (30) days after filing. If
the Division of Finance approves the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger
Agreement, then the stockholders of American Federal must, within sixty (60)
days after such approval, meet to vote on approval of the Merger Agreement,
including the Statutory Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated
thereby. Under the Missouri Savings and Loan Law, the Merger must also comply
with all federal statutory and regulatory requirements.
Applications for the required regulatory approvals from the F.D.I.C. and the
Division of Finance have been filed and are pending, and the required notice has
been provided to the O.T.S. The Bank Merger Act provides for the publication of
notice and public comment on the application.
The Charter Amendment.
Upon the receipt of approval of the Charter Amendment from the stockholders of
American Federal, American Federal must provide written notice thereof to the
O.T.S. No additional approvals by the O.T.S. or any other regulatory authorities
are required to be obtained in connection with consummation of the Charter
Amendment.
25
<PAGE>
Conditions to Consummation of the Merger and the Charter Amendment
The Merger.
The Merger is subject to various conditions. Specifically, as set forth in the
Merger Agreement, the obligations of each party to effect the Merger are subject
to the fulfillment or waiver (where permissible) by each of the parties, at or
prior to the Closing Date, of the following conditions: (i) the representations
and warranties of the respective parties to the Merger Agreement as set forth
therein will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Closing Date; (ii) each of the respective parties to the Merger Agreement will
have performed and complied in all material respects with all of its obligations
and agreements required to be performed prior to the Closing Date; (iii) no
party to the Merger Agreement will be subject to any order, decree or injunction
of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction which enjoins or prohibits the
consummation of the Merger; (iv) all necessary regulatory approvals and consents
required to consummate the Merger, including the approval of the Merger
Agreement and the Charter Amendment by the stockholders of American Federal,
will have been obtained and all waiting periods in respect thereof will have
expired; (v) each party will have received all required documents from the other
party; (vi) the Registration Statement relating to the Mid-Missouri Common to be
issued pursuant to the Merger will have become effective, and no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement will have been issued
and no proceedings for that purpose will have been initiated or threatened by
the S.E.C.; and (vii) Mid-Missouri will have received an opinion of its
accountants or counsel, and American Federal will have received a copy of such
opinion, to the effect that if the Merger is consummated in accordance with the
terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) the Merger will constitute a
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"); (b) gain, if any, will be recognized by each
holder of shares of American Federal Common who receives both Mid-Missouri
Common and cash, but not in excess of the amount of cash received; (c) the
aggregate tax basis of Mid-Missouri Common received by each stockholder of
American Federal will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of shares of
American Federal Common exchanged therefor decreased by the amount of cash
received by the stockholder and increased by the amount, if any, treated as a
dividend and the amount of gain recognized by the stockholder on the exchange;
and (d) the holding period of the shares of Mid-Missouri Common to be received
by each American Federal stockholder will include the holding period of the
shares of American Federal Common exchanged therefor, provided the shares of
American Federal Common are held as a capital asset as of the Effective Time.
The conditions described in item (iv) above (the receipt of stockholder and
regulatory approvals) may not be waived by any party. Although the remaining
conditions to effect the Merger may be waived by the party entitled to the
benefit thereof, neither Mid-Missouri, Subsidiary Bank nor American Federal
intend to waive any such conditions except in those circumstances where the
Board of Directors of either Mid-Missouri, Subsidiary Bank or American Federal,
as the case may be, deems such waiver to be in the best interests of Mid-
Missouri, Subsidiary Bank or American Federal, as the case may be, and their
respective shareholders.
Applications for the required regulatory approvals of the Merger have been
filed with the F.D.I.C. and the Missouri Division of Finance and are pending,
and the required notice has been provided to the O.T.S. It is anticipated that
F.D.I.C. approval will be received during the second quarter of 1997, and that
approval of the Division of Finance will be received during the same period, but
no assurances can be given that this timetable will be met.
No assurance can be provided as to if or when all of the foregoing conditions
precedent to the Merger will be satisfied or waived (where permissible) by the
party permitted to do so. If the Merger is not effected by June 20, 1997, the
Merger Agreement may be terminated by Mid-Missouri, Subsidiary Bank or American
26
<PAGE>
Federal; provided, however, a party who is then in breach of its obligations or
covenants under the Merger Agreement in any material respect may not exercise
such right of termination unless the other party is also in breach in any
material respect. See "THE MERGER AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT -- Termination or
Abandonment."
The Charter Amendment.
Amending the American Federal Charter requires that the amendment first be
proposed by the association's Board of Directors and thereafter approved by the
stockholders of American Federal at the Special Meeting by a vote of a majority
of the total votes eligible to be cast at the meeting. At its regular meeting on
March 5, 1997, the Board of Directors of American Federal proposed that the
Charter Amendment be presented to the stockholders of American Federal at the
Special Meeting.
Termination or Abandonment
The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective
Time: (i) by any party if the Merger is not consummated on or prior June 20,
1997; provided, however, a party who is then in breach of its obligations or
covenants under the Merger Agreement in any material respect may not exercise
such right to terminate unless the other party is in breach in any material
respect; (ii) by mutual written agreement of the parties; (iii) by any party in
the event of a material breach by the other of any of its representations and
warranties or agreements under the Merger Agreement not cured within 30 days
after written notice of such breach is given by the non-breaching party; (iv) by
any party in the event any of the conditions to its obligations are not
satisfied or waived (and not cured within any applicable cure period); (v) by
Mid-Missouri in the event that American Federal becomes a party or subject to
any new or amended written agreement, memorandum of understanding, cease and
desist order, imposition of civil money penalties or other regulatory
enforcement action or proceeding with any federal or state agency charged with
the supervision or regulation of thrifts or banks after the date of the Merger
Agreement which is significant to American Federal's overall business,
operations or financial condition; (vi) by any party by providing written notice
within thirty (30) calendar days after May 16, 1997, if any regulatory
application filed in connection with the Merger should be finally denied or
disapproved by the applicable regulatory authority or if Mid-Missouri fails to
obtain any regulatory approvals required to consummate the Merger on or before
May 16, 1997; and (vii) by any party if the stockholders of American Federal do
not approve the Merger.
Dissenters' Rights
The following summary of the rights of American Federal stockholders who
choose to dissent and demand payment for their shares of American Federal Common
does not purport to be a complete statement of the federal law relating to their
rights, and is qualified by reference to the excerpts of the federal law that
have been set forth as Appendix F to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Each
stockholder of American Federal who chooses to dissent from the Merger Agreement
should consult with his or her own legal counsel concerning his or her rights
and the specific procedures and available remedies under the federal law.
ANY FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DETAILED PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN THE FEDERAL LAW MAY
RESULT IN A STOCKHOLDER OF AMERICAN FEDERAL LOSING ANY RIGHT HE OR SHE MAY HAVE
TO DISSENT FROM THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND DEMAND AN APPRAISAL FOR THE VALUE FOR
HIS OR HER SHARES OF AMERICAN FEDERAL COMMON.
27
<PAGE>
Holders of American Federal Common who (i) dissent from the Merger, (ii) do
not vote in favor of the Merger, and (iii) meet the procedural requirements,
have the right to demand payment of the fair or appraised value of such stock.
Any holders of American Federal Common electing to make a demand for the fair or
appraised value of their stock must deliver to American Federal, before voting
on the Merger, a writing identifying himself or herself and stating his or her
intent thereby to demand appraisal of and payment for his or her shares. Such
demand must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote against the
Merger.
Exchange of American Federal Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares
The conversion of American Federal Common into the Merger Consideration (other
than any shares as to which dissenters' rights are properly exercised) will
occur by operation of law at the Effective Time. After the Effective Time,
certificates theretofore evidencing shares of American Federal Common (such
certificates, other than certificates held by stockholders exercising their
dissenters' rights, being collectively referred to herein as the "American
Federal Certificates") which may be exchanged for the Merger Consideration will
be deemed, for all corporate purposes other than the payment of dividends and
other distributions on shares of Mid-Missouri Common, to evidence ownership of
and entitlement to receive such Merger Consideration.
As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Mid-Missouri,
acting as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") will mail a transmittal letter
and instructions to each record holder of a American Federal Certificate
advising such holder of the amount of cash and number of shares of Mid-Missouri
Common such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger, and of the
procedures for surrendering such American Federal Certificates in exchange for a
certificate for the number of whole shares of Mid-Missouri Common constituting
the Stock Component, and a check for the cash amount such holder is entitled to
receive for the Cash Component. The letter of transmittal will also specify that
delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the American Federal
Certificates will pass, only upon proper delivery of the American Federal
Certificates to the Exchange Agent and will be in such form and have such other
provisions as Mid-Missouri may reasonably specify. Stockholders of American
Federal are requested not to surrender their American Federal Certificates for
exchange until such letter of transmittal and instructions are received. The
shares of Mid-Missouri Common constituting the Stock Component of the Merger
Consideration into which American Federal Common will be converted in the Merger
will be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time. Unless and until the
American Federal Certificates are surrendered, along with a duly executed letter
of transmittal, any other required documents and notification of the holder's
federal taxpayer identification number, dividends which would otherwise be
payable on the shares of Mid-Missouri Common constituting the Stock Component of
the Merger Consideration issuable with respect to such American Federal Common
will not be paid to the holders of such American Federal Certificates and, in
such case, upon surrender of the American Federal Certificates and a duly
executed letter of transmittal, any other required documents and notification of
taxpayer identification number, there will be paid any dividends on such shares
of Mid-Missouri Common which became payable between the Effective Time and the
time of such surrender and notification. No interest on any such dividends will
accrue or be paid.

Additional American Federal Reserves, Accruals, Charges and Expenses. The
Merger Agreement provides that Mid-Missouri and American Federal will consult
and cooperate with each other prior to the Effective Time to determine the
amount and the timing for recognizing for financial accounting purposes the
expenses of the Merger and the restructuring charges related to or to be
incurred in connection with the Merger. At the request of Mid-Missouri, American
Federal has agreed to establish and take such reserves and accruals as Mid-
Missouri reasonably shall request so as to conform American Federal's loan,
accrual, reserve and other accounting policies to Mid-Missouri's policies, and
shall establish and take such accruals, reserves and changes in order to
implement such policies in respect of excess facilities and equipment capacity,
severance costs, litigation matters, write-off or write-down of various assets
and other appropriate accounting adjustments. American Federal will maintain and
keep all of its benefit plans (including, but not limited to, defined
contribution plans and deferred compensation plans) fully funded, and will, to
the extent any such plan may not be fully or adequately funded, make such
contributions as are necessary to fully fund any such plan.
Other American Federal Agreements. In addition, American Federal has agreed
to: (i) give Mid-Missouri prompt written notice of any occurrence, or impending
or threatened occurrence, of any event or condition which would cause or
constitute a failure of any condition precedent to any party's obligation to
effect the Merger or breach of any of American Federal's representations or
agreements in the Merger Agreement, or of the occurrence of any matter or event
known to and directly involving American Federal (not including changes in
conditions that affect the thrift industry generally) that is materially adverse
to the business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or
otherwise) of American Federal; (ii) use its best efforts to obtain all
necessary consents with respect to any material leases, licenses, contracts,
instruments and rights which require the consent of another person for their
transfer or assumption pursuant to the Merger; (iii) use its best efforts to
perform and fulfill all conditions and obligations to be performed or fulfilled
under the Merger Agreement and to effect the Merger; and (iv) permit Mid-
Missouri reasonable access to American Federal's properties and to disclose and
make available all books, documents, papers and records relating to assets,
stock
30
<PAGE>
ownership, properties, operations, obligations and liabilities in which Mid-
Missouri may have a reasonable and legitimate interest in furtherance of the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Mid-Missouri's Agreements. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Mid-Missouri has
agreed, as applicable, among other things, to: (i) file all regulatory
applications required in order to consummate the Merger and to keep American
Federal reasonably informed as to the status of such applications; (ii) file the
Registration Statement with the S.E.C. and use its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective; (iii) timely file all documents
required to obtain all necessary permits and approvals under applicable state
securities laws; (iv) prepare and file any other filings required under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to the Merger and related
transactions; (v) promptly notify American Federal in writing should Mid-
Missouri have knowledge of any event or condition which would cause or
constitute a breach of any of its representations or agreements contained in the
Merger Agreement; and (vi) use its best efforts to perform and fulfill all
conditions and obligations to be performed or fulfilled under the Merger
Agreement and to effect the Merger.
No Solicitation
The Merger Agreement provides that, unless and until the Merger Agreement has
been terminated, American Federal will not solicit or encourage, or hold any
discussions or negotiations with or provide any information to, any person in
connection with any proposal from any person relating to the acquisition of all
or a substantial portion of the business, assets or stock of American Federal.
American Federal is required to promptly advise Mid-Missouri of its receipt of,
and the substance of, any such proposal or inquiry, including the name of the
other party or parties.
Waiver and Amendment
The conditions of the Merger Agreement may only be waived by notice to the
other party waiving such condition. The failure of any party to require
performance of any provision in the Merger Agreement does not affect the party's
right to enforce the same at a later time. The Merger Agreement may not be
amended or modified except by a written document duly executed by American
Federal, Mid-Missouri and Subsidiary Bank.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The Merger has been structured to qualify as a reorganization under Section
368(a) of the Code. Except for stockholders perfecting their dissenters' rights,
and cash received constituting the Cash Component of the Merger Consideration,
holders of shares of American Federal Common will recognize no gain or dividend
income on the receipt of Mid-Missouri Common in the Merger. Additionally, their
aggregate basis in the shares of Mid-Missouri Common received in the Merger will
be the same as their aggregate basis in their shares of American Federal Common
converted in the Merger decreased by the amount of cash received by the
stockholder and increased by the amount, if any, treated as a dividend and the
amount of gain, if any, recognized by the stockholder on the exchange. Provided
the shares surrendered are held as capital assets, the holding period of the
shares of Mid-Missouri Common received by them will include the holding period
of their shares of American Federal Common exchanged therefor. Cash received as
the Cash Component of the Merger Consideration and cash received by stockholders
exercising their dissenters' rights will be treated as a distribution in full
payment of such interests, or shares surrendered in exercise of dissenters'
rights, resulting in capital gain or ordinary income, as the case may be,
depending upon each stockholder's particular situation.
31
<PAGE>
Mid-Missouri, American Federal and Subsidiary Bank will each be a "party to a
reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and no gain
will be recognized by Mid-Missouri, American Federal or Subsidiary Bank by
reason of the Merger.
Consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon receipt by Mid-Missouri, with a
copy to American Federal, of an opinion of Mid-Missouri's accountant or counsel
to Mid-Missouri, to the effect that if the Merger is consummated in accordance
with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement: (i) the Merger will constitute
a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code; (ii) gain or
income, if any, realized by each holder of shares of American Federal Common who
receives both Mid-Missouri Common and cash in exchange for his or her shares of
American Federal Common, will be recognized, but not in excess of the amount of
cash received; (iii) the basis of shares of Mid-Missouri Common received by a
stockholder of American Federal will be the same as the basis of his or her
shares of American Federal Common exchanged therefor decreased by the amount of
cash received by the stockholder and increased by the amount, if any, treated as
a dividend and the amount of gain, if any, recognized by the stockholder in the
exchange; and (iv) the holding period of the shares of Mid-Missouri Common
received by such stockholders will include, in each instance, the holding period
of the shares of American Federal Common exchanged therefor, provided such
shares were held as capital assets as of the Effective Time.
THE FOREGOING IS A GENERAL SUMMARY OF ALL OF THE MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO AMERICAN FEDERAL STOCKHOLDERS, WITHOUT REGARD TO
THE PARTICULAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH STOCKHOLDER'S TAX SITUATION AND
STATUS. EACH AMERICAN FEDERAL STOCKHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX
ADVISOR REGARDING ANY SUCH SPECIFIC TAX SITUATION AND STATUS, INCLUDING THE
APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN LAWS AND THE
POSSIBLE EFFECT OF CHANGES IN FEDERAL AND OTHER TAX LAWS.
Resale of Mid-Missouri Common
The shares of Mid-Missouri Common issued pursuant to the Merger will be freely
transferable under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), except for shares issued to any American Federal shareholder who may be
deemed to be an "affiliate" of American Federal or Mid-Missouri for purposes of
Rule 145 under the Securities Act. The Merger Agreement provides that each such
affiliate will enter into an agreement with Mid-Missouri providing that such
affiliate will not transfer any shares of Mid-Missouri Common received in the
Merger except in compliance with the Securities Act. This Proxy
Statement/Prospectus does not cover resales of shares of Mid-Missouri Common
received by any person who may be deemed to be an affiliate of American Federal.
Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates of American Federal generally include
individuals who, or entities which, control, are controlled by or are under
common control with American Federal and will include directors and certain
executive officers of American Federal and may include principal stockholders of
American Federal.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger
Certain members of management and the Board of Directors of American Federal
may be deemed to have interests in the Merger in addition to their interests as
stockholders of American Federal generally. For information about the percentage
of American Federal Common owned by the directors and executive officers of
American Federal, see "INFORMATION ABOUT AMERICAN FEDERAL--Security Ownership
of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." None of the directors or executive
officers of American Federal would
32
<PAGE>
own, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Merger, more than 26% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Mid-Missouri Common.
Insurance; Indemnification. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the officers
of American Federal have obtained a one (1) year, One Million Dollar
($1,000,000) Officers and Directors Liability Bond, which is renewable annually
for additional one year terms for a period of five (5) years, to indemnify the
present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of American Federal
against any liability arising out of the actions occurring prior to the
Effective Time, to the extent that such indemnification is then permitted under
the laws of the United States and by American Federal's Federal Stock Charter as
in effect on the date of the Merger Agreement.
Accounting Treatment
The Merger will be accounted for by Mid-Missouri under the purchase method of
accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16,
"Business Combinations", as amended. Under this method of accounting, the
purchase price will be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair values at the Effective Time. Income of the
combined company will not include results of operations of American Federal
prior to the Effective Time. See "PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA."
Management and Operations After the Merger
Subsidiary Bank will be the surviving bank in the Merger. The Board of
Directors of Subsidiary Bank will continue following the Merger. Following
consummation of the Merger, the present executive offices of American Federal
will not be maintained as a branch office of Subsidiary Bank.

DESCRIPTION OF MID-MISSOURI CAPITAL STOCK
On February 28, 1997, the shareholders of Mid-Missouri approved a resolution
amending Mid-Missouri's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of Mid-Missouri Common from 200,000 to 300,000 shares in order
to have a sufficient number of shares to satisfy the terms of the Merger
Agreement. The Missouri Secretary of State issued a Certificate of Amendment
with respect to this amendment to the Mid-Missouri Articles of Incorporation on
March 5, 1997, causing such amendment then to become effective. Accordingly,
the Articles of Incorporation of Mid-Missouri currently authorize the issuance
of 300,000 shares of Mid-Missouri Common.
As of December 31, 1996, 200,000 shares of Mid-Missouri Common were issued
and outstanding.
The following is a brief description of the terms of the Mid-Missouri Common.
Mid-Missouri Common
Dividend Rights. Mid-Missouri may, from time to time, declare dividends to
the holders of Mid-Missouri Common, who will be entitled to share equally in any
such dividends.
Voting Rights. Each share of Mid-Missouri Common has the same relative
rights and is identical in all respects with every other share of Mid-Missouri
Common. The holders of Mid-Missouri Common possess exclusive voting rights in
Mid-Missouri. Each holder of shares of Mid-Missouri Common is entitled to one
vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of holders
of shares of Mid-Missouri Common, except that in all elections of directors,
shareholders of Mid-Missouri have cumulative voting rights.
Preemptive Rights. Holders of Mid-Missouri Common do not have preemptive
rights with respect to any additional shares of Mid-Missouri Common which may be
issued.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of Mid-Missouri, each holder of shares of Mid-Missouri Common would be entitled
to receive, after payment of all debts and liabilities of Mid-Missouri, a pro
rata portion of all assets of Mid-Missouri available for distribution to holders
of Mid-Missouri Common.
Assessment and Redemption. Shares of Mid-Missouri Common will be, when
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Transfer Agent and Registrar. Mid-Missouri is the transfer agent and
registrar for the Mid-Missouri Common.
COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
The rights of holders of shares of Mid-Missouri Common are governed by the
General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri (the "Missouri Corporate Law"),
the state of Mid-Missouri's incorporation, and by Mid-Missouri's Articles of
Incorporation, Bylaws and other corporate documents. The rights of holders of
shares of American Federal Common are governed by the laws of the United States
(the "Federal Law") and by American Federal's Federal Stock Charter ("Charter"),
First Amended By-laws ("Bylaws") and other corporate documents. The rights of
holders of shares of American Federal Common differ in certain respects from the
rights which they would have as shareholders of Mid-Missouri. A summary of
38
<PAGE>
the material differences between the respective rights of holders of American
Federal Common and Mid-Missouri Common is set forth herein.
Shareholder Vote Required for Certain Transactions
Business Combinations. The Missouri Corporate Law provides that unless a
corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws provide otherwise, certain
business combinations including mergers require the approval of the holders of
at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the subject
transaction. The Mid-Missouri Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation do not amend
the rights granted by Missouri Corporate Law.
Federal Law provides that any merger, consolidation, or the transfer of all
or substantially all of the assets of, or the assumption of all or substantially
all of the liabilities of, a federal savings and loan association must be
approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of such
association's voting shares. The American Federal Bylaws and Charter do not
amend the right granted by the Federal Law.
The rights of shareholders of Mid-Missouri and of stockholders of American
Federal are not materially different in these respects.
Removal of Directors. The Missouri Corporate Law provides that, unless
otherwise provided in a corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws, one
or more directors or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or
without cause, by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then
entitled to vote in an election of the directors. Directors may be removed only
at a meeting called expressly for that purpose. If a corporation's articles of
incorporation or bylaws provide for cumulative voting in the election of
directors and if less than the entire board is to be removed, no one of the
directors may be removed if the votes cast against his removal would be
sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire
board of directors or, if there are classes of directors, at an election of the
class of directors of which he or she is a part. Whenever the holders of the
shares of any class are entitled to elect one or more directors by the
provisions of the articles of incorporation, any references to a vote of the
holders of outstanding shares are to outstanding shares of that class and not to
the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole. Any director of a corporation
may be removed for cause by an action of a majority of the entire board of
directors if the director fails to meet the qualifications stated in the
corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws for election as a director or
is in breach of any agreement between such director and the corporation relating
to such director's services as a director or employee of the corporation.
Notice of the proposed removal by the directors must be given to all directors
of a corporation prior to action thereon. The Mid-Missouri Bylaws and Articles
of Incorporation provide shareholders with cumulative voting rights in the
election of directors and do not amend the corresponding rights granted by
Missouri Corporate Law.
American Federal's Bylaws provide that at a meeting of stockholders called
expressly for the purpose of removing a director, any director may be removed
for cause by a majority vote of the shares entitled to vote at an election of
directors. If less than the entire board is to be removed, no one of the
directors may be removed if the votes cast against the removal would be
sufficient to elect a director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the
class of directors of which such director is a part.
Because of the differences between Missouri Corporate Law and American
Federal's Bylaws, it may be easier for a shareholder of Mid-Missouri to remove a
director without cause than it is for a stockholder of American Federal.
39
<PAGE>
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation/Charter. Under the Missouri
Corporate Law, a corporation may amend its articles of incorporation upon
receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of its voting shares
and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class; provided, however, that if
the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws provide for cumulative
voting in the election of directors, the number of directors of the corporation
may not be decreased to less than three by amendment to the corporation's
articles of incorporation when the number of shares voting against the proposal
for decrease would be sufficient to elect a director if the shares were voted
cumulatively at an election of three directors; and provided, further, that a
proposed amendment which provides that Section 351.407 of the Missouri Corporate
Law does not apply to "control share acquisitions" of shares of a corporation
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of such corporation's
voting shares. See "COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS -- Takeover Statutes."
Article XII of the Articles of Incorporation of Mid-Missouri provides that
Mid-Missouri may amend, alter, change or repeal provisions of its Articles of
Incorporation in the manner provided by law.
American Federal's Charter provides that, except as provided in Section 5
thereof (relating to capital stock designations), no amendment, addition,
alteration, change or repeal of the Charter may be made unless it is first
proposed by the Board of Directors, then preliminarily approved by the O.T.S.
(which preliminary approval may be granted by the O.T.S. pursuant to regulations
specifying preapproved charter amendments), and thereafter approved by the
stockholders by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at a legal
meeting. Any amendment, addition, alteration, change or repeal so acted upon
will be effective upon filing with the O.T.S. in accordance with regulatory
procedures or on such other date as the O.T.S. may specify in its preliminary
approval.
The Missouri Corporate Law and provisions of Mid-Missouri Articles of
Incorporation make it easier for the shareholders of Mid-Missouri to amend the
Articles of Incorporation than it is for the shareholders of American Federal to
amend its Charter. In addition, it may be easier for shareholders of Mid-
Missouri to amend their Articles of Incorporation because, unlike American
Federal, an amendment does not require O.T.S. approval.
Voting Rights
Under the Missouri Corporate Law, unless otherwise provided in the articles
of incorporation, each outstanding share is entitled to one vote on each matter
submitted to a vote at a meeting of the shareholders. However, the Missouri
Corporate Law provides that, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws
provide otherwise, each shareholder is entitled to cumulative voting when
electing directors, which means that each shareholder has the right to cast as
many votes in the aggregate equal to the number of votes held by such person
multiplied by the number of directors to be elected at the election, and the
person may cast the whole number of votes for one candidate or distribute them
in any manner he or she desires.
Mid-Missouri Bylaws provide that at all meetings of the shareholders each
share is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote except that
they provide for cumulative voting with regard to the election of directors.
Holders of shares of American Federal Common are entitled to one vote per
share in all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders generally. In
addition, stockholders of American Federal are entitled to cumulate their votes
in the election of directors; provided, however, that for a period of five years
from the date of conversion of the American Federal from mutual to stock form
(which occurred on January 6,
40
<PAGE>
1993, and will end on January 6, 1998, the "5-Year Post-Conversion Period"),
stockholders are not permitted to cumulate their votes for election of
directors.
Until January 6, 1998, the expiration of the 5-Year Post-Conversion Period
American Federal stockholders are denied cumulative voting which would make it
more difficult for minority stockholders of American Federal to elect one or
more directors than it would be for stockholders of Mid-Missouri.
Special Meetings of Shareholders; Shareholder Action by Written Consent
The Missouri Corporate Law provides that special meetings of the
shareholders may be called by the board of directors of the corporation or by
any other persons authorized by the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the
corporation. The Bylaws of Mid-Missouri provide that a special meeting of
shareholders may be called by (i) the Chairman of the Board; (ii) the President;
(iii) resolution of Mid-Missouri Board of Directors whenever deemed necessary;
or (iv) the holders of not less than one-fifth of all of the holders by giving
signed written notice fixing the date and time of such meeting. The business
transacted at any such special meeting will be confined to the purpose or
purposes specified in the notice therefor and the matters germane thereto.
American Federal's Bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders
of American Federal may be called at any time, for any purpose or purposes,
unless otherwise prescribed by the regulations of the O.T.S., by the Chairman of
the Board, the President or a majority of the Board of Directors, and must be
called by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Secretary upon the
written request of the holders of not less than 10% of all of the outstanding
capital stock of American Federal entitled to vote at the meeting. Pursuant to
American Federal's By-laws, any action required to be taken at a meeting of the
stockholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of
stockholders, may be taken without a meeting if all of the stockholders entitled
to vote with respect to the subject matter consent in a writing setting forth
the action so taken. However, during the 5-Year Post-Conversion Period, special
meetings of stockholders relating to changes in control of American Federal or
amendments to the Charter may only be called upon the direction of the Board of
Directors.
The Missouri Corporate Law provides that any action required or permitted to
be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a
consent, in writing, setting forth the action taken is signed by the holders of
all of the shares entitled to vote on the subject matter.
Until expiration of the 5-Year Post-Conversion Period, it may be more
difficult for stockholders of American Federal to call a special meeting than
for Mid-Missouri shareholders.
Dissenters' Rights
Under the Missouri Corporate Law, a shareholder of a corporation is entitled
to receive payment for the fair value of his or her shares if such shareholder
dissents from a sale or exchange of substantially all of the property and assets
of the corporation or a merger or consolidation to which such corporation is a
party. A shareholder is also entitled to receive payment for the fair value of
his or her shares if such shareholder dissents from according voting rights to
"control shares" in a control share acquisition, as further described herein.
Because Mid-Missouri is not merging directly with American Federal, Mid-Missouri
shareholders will not be entitled to assert such rights in connection with the
Merger.
Under the Federal Law, holders of American Federal Common who (i) dissent
from the Merger, (ii) do not vote in favor of the Merger, and (iii) meet the
procedural requirements, have the right to demand
41
<PAGE>
payment of the fair or appraised value of their stock. Any holders of American
Federal Common electing to make a demand for the fair or appraised value of
their stock must deliver to American Federal, before voting on the Merger, a
writing identifying himself or herself and stating his or her intent thereby to
demand appraisal of and payment for his or her shares. See "THE MERGER" -
Dissenters' Rights".
The rights of shareholders of Mid-Missouri and those of American Federal are
not materially different in these respects.
Takeover Statutes
The Missouri Corporate Law contains provisions regulating a broad range of
business combinations, such as a merger or consolidation, between a Missouri
corporation which is a "resident domestic corporation", as defined in the
statute, with shares of its stock registered under the federal securities laws
or that makes an election by appropriate provisions in its articles of
incorporation to be subject to the provisions of this statute, and an
"interested shareholder" (which is defined as any owner of 20% or more of the
corporation's stock) for five years after the date on which such shareholder
became an interested shareholder, unless, among other things, the stock
acquisition which caused the person to become an interested shareholder was
approved in advance by the corporation's board of directors. This so-called
"five year freeze" provision is effective even if all the parties should
subsequently decide that they wish to engage in a business combination. The
Missouri Corporate Law also contains a "control share acquisition" provision
which effectively denies voting rights to shares of a Missouri corporation
acquired in control share acquisitions unless a resolution granting such voting
rights is approved at a meeting of shareholders by affirmative majority vote of
(i) all outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting voting by class if
required by the terms of such shares; and (ii) all outstanding shares entitled
to vote at such meeting voting by class if required by the terms of such shares,
excluding all interested shares. A control share acquisition is one by which a
purchasing shareholder acquires more than one-fifth, one-third, or a majority,
under various circumstances, of the voting power of the stock of an "issuing
public corporation." An "issuing public corporation" is a Missouri corporation
with: (i) one hundred or more shareholders; (ii) its principal place of
business, principal office or substantial assets in Missouri; and (iii) either
(a) more than 10% of its shareholders are resident in Missouri, (b) more than
10% of its shares are owned by Missouri residents, or (c) 10,000 shareholders
are resident in Missouri. Mid-Missouri has less than one hundred shareholders
and therefore does not meet the statutory definition of an "issuing public
corporation." Finally, if a control share acquisition should be made of a
majority or more of the corporation's voting stock, and those shares are granted
full voting rights, shareholders are granted dissenters' rights.
The Charter of American Federal provides that for during the 5-Year Post-
Conversion Period, no person shall directly or indirectly offer to acquire or
acquire the beneficial ownership of more than ten percent (10%) of any class of
any equity security of American Federal except for (i) a transaction in which
American Federal forms a holding company without a change in the respective
beneficial ownership interests of its stockholders other than pursuant to the
exercise of any dissenter and appraisal rights, (ii) the purchase of shares by
underwriters in connection with a public offering, or (iii) the purchase of
shares by a tax-qualified employee stock benefit plan which is exempt from the
approval requirements under Section 574.3(c)(1)(vi) of the regulations of the
O.T.S. In the event shares are acquired in violation of this prohibition, all
shares beneficially owned by any person in excess of ten percent (10%) will not
be counted as shares entitled to vote and will not be voted by any person or
counted as voting shares in connection with any matter submitted to the
stockholders for a vote.
42
<PAGE>
The differences between the Missouri Corporate Law and the American Federal
Charter, make it more difficult to effect an unsolicited business combination
with Mid-Missouri than it is to effect an unsolicited business combination with
American Federal.
Liability of Directors; Indemnification
Section 351.355(1) and (2) of the Missouri Corporate Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she
acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of an action or suit by or in the
right of the corporation, the corporation may not indemnify such persons against
judgments and fines and no person shall be indemnified as to any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or
suit was brought determines upon application that such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for proper expenses. Section 351.355 of the
Missouri Corporate Law further provides that, to the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful in the defense
of any such action, suit or proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, he
or she shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorney's fees,
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding. Section 351.355 also provides that a Missouri corporation may
provide additional indemnification to any person indemnifiable under subsection
(1) or (2) thereof, provided such additional indemnification is authorized by
the corporation's articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto or by a
shareholder-approved by-law or agreement, and provided further that no person
shall thereby be indemnified against conduct which was finally adjudged to have
been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest or willful misconduct. Mid-
Missouri's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain these indemnification
provisions.
A Missouri corporation also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person against any liability asserted against such a person and
incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's
status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
such person against such liability under the provisions of the Missouri
Corporate Law. Mid-Missouri's Bylaws authorize the Corporation to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of directors.
Pursuant to the Federal Law, federal savings associations are required to
indemnify its directors, officers and employees against legal and other expenses
incurred in defending lawsuits brought against them by reason of the performance
of their official duties. Indemnification may be made to such person only if
final judgment on the merits is in his favor or, in the case of (i) settlement;
(ii) final judgment against him; or (iii) final judgment in his favor, other
than on the merits, if a majority of the directors of the savings bank
determines that he was acting in good faith within the scope of his employment
or authority as he could reasonably have perceived it under the circumstances
and for a purpose he could have reasonably believed under the circumstances was
in the best interest of the savings bank or its shareholders. If a majority of
the directors of the savings bank concludes that, in connection with an action
any person ultimately may become entitled to indemnification, the directors may
authorize payment of reasonable costs and expenses arising from defense or
settlement of such action.
43
<PAGE>
While the indemnification laws and provisions applicable to Mid-Missouri and
American Federal are different from the perspective of officers and directors of
the respective organizations, such laws and provisions are not materially
different from the perspective of the shareholders thereof.
Limitation of Liability of Directors
The Missouri Corporate Law provides that a Missouri corporation may include
any provision in its articles of incorporation that is not inconsistent with the
law, but does not specifically prohibit or allow a provision limiting the
liability of directors in the articles of incorporation of a Missouri
corporation. Beyond the indemnification of directors discussed above, Mid-
Missouri's Bylaws also provide that a director will not be liable for (i)
dividends legally declared, distributions legally made to shareholders, or any
other action taken in reliance in good faith upon financial statements
represented to him to be correct by the Chairman of the Board, the President or
the officer of the corporation in charge of the books of account, or certified
by an accountant to fairly represent the financial condition of the corporation;
or (ii) determining in good faith the amount available for dividends or
distributions by considering the assets to be of their book value.
The Federal Law provides that a Federal corporation may include any
provision in its articles of incorporation which is not inconsistent with the
Federal Law, including any provision which under the Federal Law is required or
permitted to be set forth in the bylaws which the incorporators elect to set
forth in the articles of incorporation for the regulation of the internal
affairs of the corporation. The Federal Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act
provides that a corporation may limit the liability of its directors by
provision in its articles of incorporation; provided, however, such provision
may not limit the liability of a director to the extent the director is found
liable for (i) breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the company or its
shareholders, (ii) an act or omission not in good faith or which involves
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) a transaction
from which the director received an improper benefit, or (iv) an act or omission
for which liability is expressly provided for by statute. American Federal's
Charter does not contain such a provision limiting the liability of directors.
Consideration of Non-Shareholder Interests
The Missouri Corporate Law provides that in exercising business judgment in
consideration of acquisition proposals, a Missouri corporation's board of
directors may consider the following factors, among others: (i) the
consideration being offered; (ii) the existing political, economic, and other
factors bearing on securities prices generally, or the corporation's securities
in particular; (iii) whether the acquisition proposal may violate any applicable
laws; (iv) social, legal and economic effects on employees, suppliers, customers
and others having similar relationships with the corporation, and the
communities in which the corporation conducts its businesses; (v) the financial
condition and earning prospects of the person making the acquisition proposal;
and (vi) the competence, experience and integrity of the person making the
acquisition proposal.
The Federal Law does not contain provisions comparable to those described
above.

INFORMATION ABOUT MID-MISSOURI
Business of Mid-Missouri
Mid-Missouri was organized in December 1993, as a Missouri corporation. Mid-
Missouri is a bank holding company headquartered in Sullivan, Missouri.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations of Mid-Missouri
The following discussion and analysis is intended to review the significant
factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of Mid-
Missouri for the three (3) year period ended December 31, 1996. It provides
shareholders with a more comprehensive review than is otherwise apparent from
the financial statements alone. Reference should be made to those statements and
to the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus for an understanding of the following review.
For the Three (3) Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
--------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Condition
Mid-Missouri experienced substantial growth with total assets increasing
$17,871,000 or 17.4% from $102,871,000 on December 31, 1995 to $120,742,000 on
December 31, 1996. Mid-Missouri realized a significant increase in deposits and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase due to special marketing and
promotion designed to provide funds for growth. In addition, Mid-Missouri
increased federal funds purchased and borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank
to meet loan demand and short term liquidity needs.
Mid-Missouri had minimal growth with total assets increasing only $968,000
from $101,903,000 on December 31, 1994 to $102,871,000 on December 31, 1995.
Mid-Missouri realized a significant decrease in deposits due to competitive
factors and a shift of funds to securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
In addition, a shift in assets occurred between federal funds sold and loans as
Mid-Missouri funded significant loan growth.
Loans
The loan portfolio constitutes the major earning asset of most banks and
typically offers the best alternative for obtaining the maximum interest spread
above the cost of funds.
Loans increased $11,215,000 or 18.1% from $61,906,000 on December 31, 1995, to
$73,121,000 on December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily related to real
estate loans, which increased $8,970,000 in 1996, and was supplemented by a
$2,895,000 increase in commercial loans. The growth in loans reflects increased
marketing efforts in communities outside Sullivan, Missouri. Additionally, the
allowance for possible loan losses decreased $88,000 from $600,000 at December
31, 1995 to $512,000 at December 31, 1995, even though loans increased
$11,215,000. This decrease reflects the continued strong loan quality and low
delinquencies experienced by Mid-Missouri.
Loans increased $4,625,000 or 8.1% from $57,281,000 on December 31, 1994, to
$61,906,000 on December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily related to real
estate loans, which increased $6,650,000 in 1995 and was offset by a $2,799,000
decrease in commercial loans. Additionally, the allowance for loan losses
increased only $1,000 from $599,000 at December 31, 1994 to $600,000 at December
31, 1995,
45
<PAGE>
even though loans increased $4,625,000. This small increase reflects the
continued strong loan quality and low delinquencies experienced by Mid-Missouri.
The following table presents loans outstanding at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
as well as a maturity schedule of loans for December 31, 1996.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for possible loan losses provides a reserve against which loan
losses are charged as those losses become evident. Management determines the
appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. These
analyses take into consideration management's evaluation of the loan portfolio,
as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions and historical losses
by loan category.
Following are tables setting forth the activity for loan losses and the
allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses, along with certain ratios

Risk Elements in a Loan Portfolio; Interest Recognition
Risk elements in a loan portfolio includes loans accounted for on a non-
accrual basis, accruing loans that are contractually past due ninety days or
more as to interest or principal payments, troubled debt restructurings, loans
where there are serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with
the present loan repayment terms, other real estate and significant industry
concentrations (such as real estate, energy or agricultural loans).
Non-performing assets are defined as loans delinquent 90 or more days, non-
accrual loans, restructured loans, and foreclosed assets. Such assets do not
necessarily represent future losses to Mid-Missouri since underlying collateral
can be sold, and the financial condition of the borrowers may improve.
Mid-Missouri's policy is to discontinue accruing interest on loans when
principal or interest is due and remains unpaid for 90 days or more, unless the
loan is well secured and in the process of collection. The Subsidiary Bank would
have recognized additional interest income of approximately $14,000 and $5,000,
respectively, if contractual interest on non-accrual loans had been recognized.

Investments
The Subsidiary Bank's holdings of short-term investments and scheduled
maturities of investment securities serve as a source of liquidity to meet
depositor and borrower fund requirements.
Investments in available-for-sale securities increased $11,876,000, or 102.2%,
from $11,622,000 on December 31, 1995 to $23,498,000 on December 31, 1996. Mid-
Missouri's available-for-sale investments in U.S. Treasury and Agency securities
increased $6,335,000 in 1996, while also adding $5,960,000 in state and
political obligations. Investments in held-to-maturity investments decreased
$5,834,000, principally in investments in U.S. government agency securities. The
decrease in held-to-maturity investments resulted from maturities which were
either reinvested in loans or investments classified as available-for-sale.
Excess deposits not used to fund loan growth were invested in available-for-sale
securities as Mid-Missouri provided more flexibility and liquidity to fund
future growth and expansion.
Investments in available-for-sale securities decreased $877,000, or 7.0%, from
$12,499,000 on December 31, 1994 to $11,622,000 on December 31, 1995. Mid-
Missouri's available-for-sale investments in U.S. Treasury and Agency securities
decreased $3,655,000 in 1995, which was offset by a $2,779,000

<PAGE>
increase in Mid-Missouri's available-for-sale investments in mortgage-backed
securities. The investments were liquidated to meet loan demand and fund
declines in saving deposits, NOW and money market deposits. Federal funds sold
were also liquidated to meet loan demand.

Deposits
The deposit base provides the major source for interest earning assets.
Deposits increased $9,287,000 or 10.7%, from $86,468,000 on December 31, 1995 to
$95,755,000 on December 31, 1996. The increase resulted from a $11,471,000
increase in time deposits, which was offset by a $1,928,000 decrease in savings,
NOW and money market deposits as customers shifted funds to higher yielding
deposit products. The deposit increase was also motivated by increased marketing
efforts in Sullivan and surrounding communities. Further funding was provided by
a $3,934,000 increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase as
several large deposit customers opened repurchase agreement accounts. Also,
federal funds purchased and other borrowings increased $4,100,000 as Mid-
Missouri used Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to fund certain loan
originations and used federal funds purchased to fund short term liquidity needs
caused by Mid-Missouri's rapid growth.
Deposits decreased $2,311,000 or 2.6%, from $88,779,000 on December 31, 1994
to $86,468,000 on December 31, 1995. The decrease resulted from a $6,672,000
decrease in savings, NOW and money market deposits, which was offset by a
$4,673,000 increase in other time deposits as customers shifted funds to higher
yielding deposit products. This was motivated to some extent by special
promotions in time deposit products. Further funding was provided by a
$1,942,000 increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase as several
large deposit customers opened accounts under repurchase agreements.
Maturity of time deposits $100,000 and greater at December 31, 1996 is

Results of Operations
1996 Compared to 1995.
Net income for 1996 amounted to $1,113,000 or $5.57 per share. This represents
an increase of $54,000 or $.27 per share over 1995 net income of $1,059,000 or
$5.30 per share. The increase resulted from increases in net interest income
which were partially offset by increases in operating expenses.
The net interest income increased $116,000 or 2.8% in 1996. This resulted from
a significant increase in income from loans which was offset by a higher cost of
deposits. The net interest margin declined from 4.18% to 4.08%. Interest income
increased $427,000 or 5.5% from $7,736,000 in 1995 to $8,163,000 in 1996.
Interest expense increased $311,000 or 8.6% in 1996 from a balance of $3,604,000
in 1995 to
50
<PAGE>
$3,915,000 in 1996. Interest expense on deposits increased $107,000, while the
remaining increase in interest expense of $204,000 was related to repurchase
agreements and other borrowings. Also, in 1996, non-interest expenses increased
$89,000 as virtually all categories experienced increases due to growth and
inflation.
1995 Compared to 1994.
Net income for 1995 amounted to $1,059,000 or $5.30 per share. This represents
an increase of $392,000 or $1.97 per share over 1994 net income of $667,000 or
$3.33 per share. The increase resulted from increases in net interest income and
non-interest income which were partially offset by increases in operating
expenses. Also, a large loss realized on the sale of investment securities in
1994 did not reoccur in 1995.
Net interest income increased $224,000 or 5.7% in 1995. This resulted from a
significant increase in loans which was offset by a higher cost of deposits. Net
interest margin declined from 4.51% to 4.18%. Interest income increased
$1,174,000 or 17.9% from $6,562,000 in 1994 to $7,736,000 in 1995. Interest
expense increased $949,000 or 35.7% in 1995 from a balance of $2,655,000 in 1994
to $3,604,000 in 1995. Interest expense on deposits increased $854,000, which
accounted for 90.0% of the interest expense increase. Gain on investment
securities transactions amounted to $10,000 in 1995, which represents an
increase of $428,000 over the $418,000 loss on investment securities
transactions in 1994. Also, in 1995, non-interest expenses increased $333,000
primarily due to increased salaries and employee benefits.
The following tables demonstrate the changes in the components of interest
income and interest expense.

Liquidity
The central objectives of liquidity management are to ensure that Subsidiary
Bank has ready access to sufficient funds to meet maturing obligations and
existing commitments to enable Subsidiary Bank to withstand fluctuations in
deposit levels and to provide for customers' credit needs. Liquidity management
is viewed from both asset and liability perspectives. The basic concept is the
amount of assets maturing within certain time frames should relate to the amount
of liabilities maturing within the same period. This procedure enables
Subsidiary Bank to monitor its liquidity requirements, thereby facilitating the
meeting of obligations as they mature and, at the same time, allowing Subsidiary
Bank to respond to shifts in interest rates. Management believes that during the
current period of economic uncertainty and interest rate volatility, this
flexibility is imperative in maintaining liquidity and acceptable profit
margins. Management has historically maintained an adequate liquidity position
and will endeavor to do so in the future.
The following table provides information on short-term borrowing which the
bank uses to fund short-term liquidity needs.

Effects in Inflation
Inflation continues to affect Mid-Missouri as it does other businesses.
Overhead costs for personnel, occupancy, and equipment tend to track inflation
closely. The ability of Mid-Missouri to offset the effects of inflation on its
operations must come from prudent management of its asset/liability mix, expense
control, and realistic pricing of services.

INFORMATION ABOUT AMERICAN FEDERAL
Business of American Federal
American Federal was organized in 1962 as a federally chartered mutual savings
association. In 1993 American Federal was converted to a stock company. American
Federal accepts deposits and makes short term loans to individuals to acquire,
improve or refinance 1-to-4 family residential dwellings and unimproved land
loans. Most loans are made to borrowers located in Franklin County, Missouri
particularly in the vicinity of Sullivan, Missouri.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations of American Federal
The following discussion and analysis is intended to review the significant
factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of American
Federal for the three (3) year period ended December 31, 1996. It provides
shareholders with a more comprehensive review than is otherwise apparent from
the financial statements alone. Reference should be made to those statements and
to the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this Prospectus for an
understanding of the following review.
For the Three (3) Years Ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
--------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Condition
American Federal experienced a minimal decrease in total assets as they
decreased $395,000 from $19,317,000 on December 31, 1995 to $18,922,000 on
December 31, 1996. Even with a minimal decline in size, American Federal
experienced a significant increase in loan demand which was funded by maturities
of investment securities.
In 1995, American Federal had minimal growth with total assets increasing only
$238,000 from $19,079,000 on December 31, 1994 to $19,317,000 on December 31,
1995. American Federal also realized minimal loan and deposit growth due to
competitive factors. A shift in assets occurred between interest-bearing
certificates in other financial institutions and held-to-maturity securities as
the certificates matured and the proceeds were reinvested in higher-yielding
U.S. government agencies.
Loans
The loan portfolio constitutes the largest earning asset of most banks and
typically offers the best alternative for obtaining the maximum interest spread
above the cost of funds.
Net loans increased $691,000 or 9.7% from $7,140,000 on December 31, 1995, to
$7,831,000 on December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily related to real
estate mortgage loans as the real estate market remained strong due to a low
interest rate environment. Additionally, the allowance for possible loan losses
remained the same as American Federal continued to experience strong asset
quality and low delinquency rates.
In 1995, loans remain constant with the prior year as new loans were offset by
the reduction of existing loans due to payoffs or refinancing with outside
competitors. The allowance for loan losses remained the same as American Federal
continued to experience strong loan quality and low delinquencies.
The following table presents gross loans outstanding at December 31, 1996 and
1995. As well as a maturity schedule of loans for December 31, 1996.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for possible loan loses provides a reserve against which loan
losses are charged as those losses become evident. Management determines the
appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. These
analysis take into consideration management's evaluation of the loan portfolio,
as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions and historical losses
by loan category.
Following are tables setting forth the activity for loan losses and the
allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses, along with certain ratios
for non-performing loans and total loans in 1996 and 1995.

Risk Elements in a Loan Portfolio; Interest Recognition
Risk elements in a loan portfolio includes loans accounted for on a non-
accrual basis, accruing loans that are contractually past due ninety days or
more as to interest or principal payments, troubled debt restructurings, loans
where there are serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with
the present loan repayment tiers, other real estate and significant industry
concentrations (such as real estate, energy or agricultural loans).
Non-performing assets are defined as loans delinquent 90 or more days, non-
accrual loans, restructured loans, and foreclosed assets. Such assets do not
necessarily represent future losses to American Federal since underlying
collateral can be sold, and the financial condition of the borrowers may
improve. The following table sets forth the detail of non-performing assets.
American Federal Savings & Loan's policy is to discontinue accruing interest
on loans when principal or interest is due and remains unpaid for 90 days or
more, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.

of investment securities serve as a source of liquidity to meet depositor and
borrower fund requirements.
Overall, investments decreased $1,418,000 or 13.4% from $10,620,000 on
December 31, 1995 to $9,202,000 on December 31, 1996. American Federal's
investment in U.S. government Treasury and Agency Securities designated as held-
to-maturity decreased dramatically as American Federal funded its loan growth
and increased its investment in mortgage-backed securities.
Investment in held-to-maturity securities, principally U.S. government
agencies, increased $689,000, or 7.1%, from $9,772,000 on December 31, 1994 to
$10,461,000 on December 31, 1995. The increase was funded by interest-bearing
certificates in other financial institutions which decreased $685,000 in 1995.
The change in investment strategy was caused by the current interest rate
environment which offered higher-yielding investment opportunities in the U.S.
government agencies.

Deposits
The deposit base provides a major source of funds for interest earning assets.
Deposits decreased $461,000 or 3.0%, from $15,467,000 on December 31, 1995 to
$15,006,000 on December 31, 1996. American Federal also continued to experience
a shift from savings deposits to higher-yielding time deposits as customers
sought higher-yielding deposit products.
Deposits also remained constant as they grew only $97,000 or .6% to
$15,370,000 on December 31, 1994 to $15,467,000 on December 31, 1995. The
increase resulted from a $1,023,000 decrease in savings deposits, which was
offset by a $1,120,000 increase in time deposits as customers shifted funds to
higher-yielding deposit products. This shift was motivated to some extent by
special rate promotions of time deposit products.
Maturity of time deposits $100,000 and greater at December 31, 1996 is
illustrated below.

Results of Operations
1996 Compared to 1995.
Net income for 1996 amounted to $102,000 or $.67 per share. This represented a
decrease of $29,000 or $.19 per share from 1995 net income of $131,000 or $.86
per share. The decrease resulted from a decline in net interest income and an
increase in noninterest expense.
Overall, net interest income decreased $43,000 or 6.3% in 1996 as American
Federal's net interest margin declined to 3.36%. This was a result of a small
increase in interest income and higher interest expense caused by the high cost
of time deposits. Interest expense increased $43,000 or 6.1% from $708,000 in
1995 to $751,000 in 1996. An increase in noninterest expense of $23,000
principally related to the one time special deposit insurance assessment of
$99,000, offset by decreases in salaries and other expenses.
1995 Compared to 1994.
Net income for 1995 was $131,000 or $.86 per share. This represented a
decrease of $91,000 or $.60 per share from 1994 net income of $223,000 or $1.46
per share. The decrease resulted from a decline in net interest income as
interest expense increased dramatically due to customers moving savings deposits
to higher-yielding time deposits while loan yields declined slightly due to a
lower interest rate environment.
60
<PAGE>
Overall, the net interest margin decreased $151,000 or 18.4% in 1995. Interest
income decreased $64,000 or 4.4% from $1,443,000 in 1994 to $1,379,000 in 1995.
Interest expense increased $87,000 or 14.0% in 1995 from a balance of $621,000
in 1994 to $708,000 in 1995. Noninterest expenses and noninterest income
remained consistent with 1994.

income and interest expense:

CAPITAL
Stockholder's equity increased by $65,000 in 1996 primarily as a result of
unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities and ESOP transactions.
Capital as a percent of total assets was 19.72% at December 31, 1996 compared to
18.98% at December 31, 1995. Book value per share was $24.54 at December 31,
1996 compared to $24.11 at December 31, 1995.
During 1995, American Federal increased retained earnings $40,000 through the
retention of earnings. Unrealized appreciation of investments held as
available-for-sale and ESOP transactions also increased capital $82,000 overall.
Capital as a percent of total assets was 18.98% at December 31, 1995 compared to
18.57% at December 31, 1994. Book value per share was $24.11 at December 31,
1995 compared to $23.30 at December 31, 1994.
Liquidity
The central objectives of liquidity management are to ensure that American
Federal has ready access to sufficient funds to meet maturing obligations and
existing commitments to enable American Federal to withstand fluctuations in
deposit levels and to provide for customers' credit needs. Liquidity management
is viewed from both asset and liability perspectives. The basic concept is the
amount of assets maturing within certain time frames should relate to the amount
of liabilities maturing within the same period. This procedure enables American
Federal to monitor its liquidity requirements, thereby facilitating the meeting
of obligations as they mature and, at the same time, allowing American Federal
to respond to shifts in interest rates. Management believes that during the
current period of economic uncertainty and interest rate volatility, this
flexibility is imperative in maintaining liquidity and acceptable profit
margins. Management has historically maintained an adequate liquidity position.
Effects in Inflation
Inflation continues to affect American Federal as it does other businesses.
Overhead costs for personnel, occupancy, and equipment tend to track inflation
closely. The ability of American Federal to offset the effects of inflation on
its operations must come from prudent management of its asset/liability mix,
expense control, and realistic pricing of services.

Board of Directors
Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
Sullivan, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
MID-MISSOURI HOLDING COMPANY, INC., as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MID-MISSOURI
HOLDING COMPANY, INC. as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Statement Presentation and Nature of Operations
- ---------------------------------------------------------
Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc. (Company) is a one bank holding company
which on May 3, 1995, acquired the Bank of Sullivan (Bank) through a tax free
exchange of 100% of the stock of the Bank and the Company. The acquisition has
been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The Company's
activities through December 31, 1996 are comprised solely of the organization
and acquisition of the Bank.
The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and
mortgage services to individual and corporate customers in Sullivan, Missouri.
The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank
also is subject to the regulation of certain federal and state agencies and
undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
The Bank's loans are primarily with customers in Sullivan, Missouri and
surrounding counties. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a
substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is
dependent upon the economic well-being of these communities.
Principles of Consolidation
- ---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
Continued
Use of Estimates, Continued
- ---------------------------
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation
of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of
loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses
and the valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale, management obtains
independent appraisals for significant properties.
Management believes that the allowances for losses on loans and the valuation
of foreclosed assets held for sale are adequate. While management uses
available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed assets held
for sale, changes in economic conditions may necessitate revision of those
estimates in future years. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's
allowances for losses on loans and valuation of foreclosed assets held for sale.
Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses based on their
judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
- -----------------------------------------
Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the Bank
has no immediate plans to sell, but which may be sold in the future, are carried
at fair value. Realized gains and losses, based on the amortized cost of the
specific security, are included in other income. Unrealized gains and losses
are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in stockholders' equity.
Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to interest
income using the level-yield method over the period to maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities, which include any security for which the Bank has
the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at
historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to
interest income using the level-yield method over the period to maturity.
Interest and dividends on investments in debt and equity securities are
included in income when earned.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
Continued
Loans
- -----
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or pay-offs are reported at their outstanding principal
adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred
fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on
purchased loans.
Allowances for Loan Losses
- --------------------------
The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to expense
and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. The allowance is
maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential loan losses,
based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio, as well as on prevailing
and anticipated economic conditions and historical losses by loan category.
General allowances have been established, based upon the aforementioned factors,
and allocated to the individual loan categories. Allowances are accrued on
specific loans evaluated for impairment for which the basis of each loan,
including accrued interest, exceeds the discounted amount of expected future
collections of interest and principal or, alternatively, the fair value of loan
collateral.
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Bank will not
receive all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. This
includes loans that are delinquent 90 days or more (nonaccrual loans) and
certain other loans identified by management. Accrual of interest is
discontinued, and interest accrued and unpaid is removed, at the time such
amounts are delinquent 90 days. Interest is recognized for nonaccrual loans
only upon receipt, and only after all principal amounts are current according to
the terms of the contract.
Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired
- -----------------------------------------------------
The excess of purchase price over the net assets of the branch acquired is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 15 years.

Continued
Foreclosed Assets Held-For-Sale
- -------------------------------
Assets acquired by foreclosure or in settlement of debt and held for sale are
valued at fair value as of the date of foreclosure and a related valuation
allowance is provided for estimated costs to sell the assets. Management
evaluates the value of foreclosed assets held for sale periodically and
increases the valuation allowance for any subsequent declines in estimated fair
value. Changes in the valuation allowance are charged or credited to other
expenses.
Bank Premises and Equipment
- ---------------------------
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
Cash Equivalents
- ----------------
The Bank considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
- ------------
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the tax effects of
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets
if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Reclassifications
- -----------------
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1994 financial statements to
conform to the 1995 and 1996 financial statement presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on net earnings.
Earnings Per Share
- ------------------
Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the year, which totaled 200,000 during 1996, 1995 and 1994.

NOTE 6: RISK CONCENTRATION - FEDERAL FUNDS
From time to time, the Bank has excess deposits or a need for additional
funds. Excess deposits are loaned to other banks as federal funds sold, which
represent overnight lending to other member banks of the Federal Reserve System.
Additional funds are borrowed from other member banks as federal funds
purchased, which represent overnight borrowing.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, $3,150,000 and $50,000 of federal funds
purchased and sold, respectively, related to one bank in the St. Louis, Missouri
area.
NOTE 7: SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase consist of U.S. treasury and
U.S. agency securities with book values of $12,833,092 and $10,865,052 and fair
values of $12,894,192 and $10,982,978 at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Accrued interest receivable on these securities was $228,411 and
$55,814 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Bank enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase.
Repurchase agreements are treated as financings, and the obligations to
repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the statement of
financial condition. The securities underlying the agreements are book-entry
securities. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, these agreements had a weighted-
average interest rate of 4.9% and matured within 90 days.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, all of the agreements were agreements to
repurchase the same securities. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase
averaged $8,856,262 and $5,961,612 during 1996 and 1995, respectively, and the
maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during 1996 and 1995, was
$10,760,386 and $6,826,377, respectively.
NOTE 8: OTHER BORROWINGS
At December 31, 1996, the Bank had a $1,000,000 loan from the Federal Home
Loan Bank. (FHLB). The loan is secured by a blanket assignment of 1-4 family
home mortgage loans and bears interest at a rate of 6.07%. The loan matures on
November 20, 2001.

NOTE 9: OFF-BALANCE-SHEET AND CREDIT RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include lines-of-credit, commitments to extend
credit and standby letters of credit. The Bank's maximum exposure to credit loss
under lines of credit, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of
credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank
uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent potential credit risk:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1996 1995
---------- ----------
<S> <C> <C>
Lines of credit $7,521,573 $7,882,407
Commitments to extend credit $1,561,179 $ 777,102
Standby letters of credit $ 527,910 $ 319,073
</TABLE>
The Bank requires collateral to support financial instruments when it is
deemed necessary. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-
by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is
based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held
varies, but may include income-producing commercial properties; accounts
receivable; property, plant and equipment; and inventory.
Commitments to extend credit and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a
customer so long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
lending contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the
commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing agreements. Management
does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions. The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
At December 31, 1996, all of the Bank's credit commitments expire at various
times through 2025.

NOTE 10: PENSION PLAN
Substantially all eligible employees are covered by the Bank's defined benefit
pension plan. The Bank has not adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87, "Employer's Accounting for Pensions" (FAS87) and reports and
funds pension expense based on amounts deductible for income tax purposes. These
amounts are computed using the Entry Age Normal FIL actuarial method. Management
believes that this method is generally more conservative than actuarial
calculations under FAS87, and the differences between the two methods are not
material to the Bank's financial statements. Pension expense totaled $46,066,
$25,416 and $51,085 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As of September 1,
1996, the most recent valuation date, the actuary reported the following
information for funding purposes with respect to the Plan.

NOTE 11: TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
At December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Bank had loans totaling $2,395,016,
$1,976,887 and $3,228,343, respectively, to employees, officers, directors,
principal stockholders and affiliated companies. In management's opinion, such
loans were made in the ordinary course of business, and were made on
substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons.
The following is a summary of loan transactions involving principal
stockholders, directors and executive officers for the year ended December 31,
1996:

NOTE 12: REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it
may declare without prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 1996,
approximately $2,117,000 of retained earnings were available for dividend
declaration without prior regulatory approval.
The Bank is also subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory--and possibly additional
discretionary--actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the
Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-
weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the Bank
meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the FDIC
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios
as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.
The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it
may declare without prior regulatory approval. December 31, 1996, approximately
$1,800,000 of retained earnings were available for dividend declaration without
prior regulatory approval.

NOTE 13: ADOPTION OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 115
At January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 regarding investments in debt and equity securities. As
described in Note 1, this statement created two categories of securities based
upon management's intent. Securities meeting the criteria for the "available-
for-sale" category were adjusted to their fair values as of January 1, 1994,
with a corresponding valuation reserve, net of income taxes, reported in
stockholders' equity. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 115 at January 1,
1994, was to increase stockholders' equity by $649,182.

NOTE 14: ACQUISITION
In October 1994, the Bank acquired substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of the Sullivan branch of Meramec State Bank for $1,519,007 in cash.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase by recording the assets and
liabilities acquired at their estimated fair values. The operations of the Bank
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, include the operations of
the acquired branch subsequent to the acquisition date. Had the acquisition
occurred at the beginning of the year, 1994 revenues would have increased by
approximately $866,000 and there would have been no material effect on net
income and earnings per share.

NOTE 17: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS,
Continued
Available-For-Sale Securities
- -----------------------------
Fair values for available-for-sale securities, which also are the amounts
recognized in the balance sheets, equal quoted market prices, if available. If
quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on
quoted market prices of similar securities.
Held-To-Maturity Securities
- ---------------------------
Fair values for investment securities equal quoted market prices, if
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated
based on quoted market prices of similar securities.
Loans
- -----
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with
similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The
carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Deposits
- --------
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and certain
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date
(i.e., their carrying amount). The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits
is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates
currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying
amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowings
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate
of fair value.

NOTE 17: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS,
Continued
Commitments to Extend Credit, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to
enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the
agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-
rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current
levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of
credit and lines of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar
agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the
obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Bank's financial
instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by
discounting expected cash flows, which method involves significant judgments by
management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which
financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no
market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management
does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Bank does not know
whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective
financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

American Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Sullivan
Sullivan, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of AMERICAN FEDERAL SAVINGS
AND LOAN ASSOCIATION OF SULLIVAN as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Association's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of AMERICAN FEDERAL SAVINGS AND
LOAN ASSOCIATION OF SULLIVAN as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In 1994, the Association changed its method of accounting for the Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as discussed in Note 8 and its method of accounting
for investment securities as discussed in Note 10.

AMERICAN FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
OF SULLIVAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
- --------------------
American Federal Savings and Loan Association of Sullivan is a federally-
chartered stock savings and loan association primarily engaged in residential
mortgage lending. The Association is subject to competition from other
financial institutions. The Association is also subject to the regulations of
certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory
authorities.
The Association's loans are primarily with customers in Sullivan, Missouri and
surrounding counties. Although the Association has a diversified loan portfolio,
a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is
dependent upon the economic well-being of these communities.
Conversion to Stock Association
- -------------------------------
In 1993, the Association converted from a federally-chartered mutual
association to a federally-chartered stock association. Subsequent to the
conversion, savings deposit account holders and borrowers do not have voting
rights in the Association. Voting rights are vested exclusively with the
stockholders of the Association. Savings deposit account holders continue to be
insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund. A liquidation account was
established at the time of conversion in an amount equal to the total net worth
of the Association as of the date of the latest balance sheet contained in the
final offering circular. Each eligible deposit account holder is entitled to a
proportionate share of this account in the event of a complete liquidation of
the Association, and only in such event. This share will be reduced if the
account holder's savings deposit falls below the amount on the dates of record
and will cease to exist if the account is closed. The liquidation account will
never be increased despite any increase after conversion in the related savings
deposit of an account holder. The Association may not declare or pay a cash
dividend, or purchase any of its stock, if the effect would be to reduce the net
worth of the Association below the amount of its liquidation account or below
its minimum regulatory capital.

DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
Continued
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.
Management believes that the allowance for losses on loans is adequate. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, changes in
economic conditions may necessitate revision of this estimate in future years.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Association's allowance for losses
on loans. Such agencies may require the Association to recognize additions to
the allowance based on their judgement of information available to them at the
time of their examination.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Policy
- --------------------------------
The Association considers all liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
cash equivalents consisted primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank overnight
deposits.
Regulations require the Association to maintain an amount in cash and U.S.
Government and other approved securities equal to 5.0% of savings deposits (net
of loans on savings deposits), plus short-term borrowings.
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
- -----------------------------------------
Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the
Association has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future,
are carried at fair value. Realized gains and losses, based on the amortized
cost of the specific security, are included in other income. Unrealized gains
and losses are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in stockholders'
equity. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to
interest income using the level-yield method over the period to maturity.

Continued
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, Continued
- ----------------------------------------------------
Held-to-maturity securities, which include any security for which the
Association has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity, are
carried at historical cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively,
to interest income using the level-yield method over the period to maturity.
Interest and dividends on investments in debt and equity securities are
included in income when earned.
Loans
- -----
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or pay-offs are reported at their outstanding principal
adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred
fees or costs.
Allowance for Loan Losses
- -------------------------
The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to expense
and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. The allowance is
maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential loan losses,
based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio, as well as on prevailing
and anticipated economic conditions and historical losses by loan category.
General allowances have been established, based upon the aforementioned factors,
and allocated to the individual loan categories. Allowances are accrued on
specific loans evaluated for impairment for which the basis of each loan,
including accrued interest, exceeds the discounted amount of expected future
collections of interest and principal or, alternatively, the fair value of loan
collateral.
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Bank will not
receive all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. This
includes loans that are delinquent 90 days or more (nonaccrual loans) and
certain other loans identified by management. Accrual of interest is
discontinued, and interest accrued and unpaid is removed, at the time such
amounts are delinquent 90 days. Interest is recognized for nonaccrual loans only
upon receipt, and only after all principal amounts are current according to the
terms of the contract.

Continued
Allowance for Loan Losses
- -------------------------
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount considered adequate
to provide for potential losses. The provision for loan losses is based on
periodic analysis of the loan portfolio by management. In this regard,
management considers numerous factors including, but not necessarily limited to,
general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience
and independent appraisals. General economic conditions considered include the
local real estate economy, inflation, local employment rates and local business
development.
Loan Origination Fees
- ---------------------
Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net
fee or cost is recognized in interest income using the level-yield method over
the life of the loan.
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale
- -------------------------------
Assets acquired by foreclosure or in settlement of debt and held for sale are
valued at fair value as of the date of foreclosure and a related valuation
allowance is provided for estimated costs to sell the assets. Management
evaluates the value of foreclosed assets held for sale periodically and
increases the valuation allowance for any subsequent declines in estimated fair
value. Changes in the valuation allowance are charged or credited to other
expense.
Premises and Equipment
- ----------------------
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
Income Taxes
- ------------
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the tax effects
of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets
if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Impaired loans totaled $39,621 and $180,242 at December 31,1996 and 1995,
respectively. None of the allowance for loan losses relates to impaired loans.
Interest of $8,904 and $11,771 was recognized on average impaired loans of
$109,932 and $146,041 for 1996 and 1995, respectively. No interest was
recognized on impaired loans on a cash basis during 1996 and 1995.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Association had loans totaling $113,376 and
$51,723, respectively, to employees, officers, directors, principal stockholders
and companies with which the Association's officers or directors are affiliated.
In management's opinion, such loans were made in the ordinary course of
business, and were made on substantially the same terms (including interest
rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons.

NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT RISK
The Association requires collateral to support financial instruments when it
is deemed necessary. The Association evaluates each customer's creditworthiness
on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of
credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held includes first mortgage deeds of trust and savings accounts.
The Association is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer so long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the lending contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.
Since some of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The Association's maximum exposure to credit loss under commitments to extend
credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The
Association uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
At December 31, 1996, the Association had no credit commitments outstanding.

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES, Continued
Deferred Income Taxes, Continued
- --------------------------------
Through 1996, if certain conditions were met in determining taxable income,
the Association was allowed a specific bad-debt deduction based on a percentage
of taxable income (presently 8 percent) or on specified experience formulas. In
1996 and 1995, the Association was not allowed a bad-debt deduction based on a
percentage of taxable income due to tax limitations. Beginning January 1, 1997,
tax laws require that all savings and loan associations change to the
"experience method" in accounting for bad debts and recapture any "applicable
excess reserves". The Association will not be required to recapture any
"applicable excess reserves" for tax purposes.
Retained earnings at December 31, 1996 and 1995 includes approximately
$525,000 for which no deferred federal income tax liability has been recognized.
This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax
purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad
debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback or net operating losses would
create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the then-current
corporate income tax rate. The deferred income tax liability on the preceding
amounts that would have been recorded if they were expected to reverse into
taxable income in the foreseeable future totaled approximately $200,000 at
December 31, 1996 and 1995.
NOTE 8: EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
The Association has established an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for
the benefit of all employees who meet eligibility requirements. The ESOP
borrowed $137,920 to purchase 13,792 shares of the Association's stock. The
ESOP's loan is due December 15, 1999 and requires semi-annual interest payments
and annual principal payments. Interest is paid at the prime rate semi-annually.
The Association's contributions are determined annually by the board of
directors. To date, the board has approved contributions sufficient to pay
principal and interest on the ESOP debt.
During 1994 the Association prospectively adopted AICPA Statement of Position
93-6 "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans". In accordance
with SOP 93-6 the ESOP's debt is reflected in the Association's balance sheet as
long-term borrowing, with a corresponding reduction in stockholders' equity
termed "Unearned ESOP Shares," net of tax. The estimated fair value of unearned
ESOP shares at December 31, 1996 and 1995 totaled $135,000 and $196,000,
respectively, based on an independent appraisal of the Association's stock.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 8: EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN, Continued
Unearned ESOP shares are allocated to ESOP participants on the basis of the
ratio of current year debt service payments to total current and future debt
service. Compensation expense is accrued based on the estimated fair value of
shares committed to be released each year. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares
are used to make debt service payments; dividends on allocated shares are
recorded as reductions of retained earnings.
ESOP compensation expense totaled $50,226, $53,402 and $52,236 for the years
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, ESOP shares were as follows:
Shares allocated 6,551
Shares committed to be released 2,274
Unallocated shares 4,967
The Association has an obligation to repurchase any shares distributed to ESOP
participants if, at the time of distribution, the stock is not publicly traded.
The estimated fair value of shares subject to this repurchase obligation totaled
$240,000 at December 31, 1996.
The adoption of SOP 93-6 had no effect on prior year financial statements. In
prior years, ESOP compensation expense was computed based on the cost, rather
than fair value, of unearned ESOP shares using the shares allocated method. The
adoption of SOP 93-6 increased 1994 ESOP compensation expense by $30,739.

NOTE 9: REGULATORY MATTERS
The Association is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends
that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 1996,
approximately $1,300,000 of retained earnings were available for dividend
declaration without prior regulatory approval.
The Association also is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Association's financial statements. Under capital
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action,
the Association must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Association's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Association's
capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by
the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Association to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I, Tangible and Core capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December
31, 1996, that the Association meets all capital adequacy requirements to which
it is subject.
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Office of
Thrift Supervision categorized the Association as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Association must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, Tier I leverage, Tangible and Core capital ratios as set forth in
the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the institution's category.

At January 1, 1994, the Association adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115 regarding investments in debt and equity securities. As
described in Note 1, this statement creates categories of securities based upon
management's intent. Securities meeting the criteria for the "available for
sale" category were adjusted to their fair values as of January 1, 1994, with a
corresponding valuation reserve, net of income taxes, reported in stockholders'
equity. The cumulative effect of adopting FAS 115 at January 1, 1994 was to

NOTE 12: DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Available-For-Sale Securities
- -----------------------------
Fair values for available-for-sale securities, which also are the amounts
recognized in the balance sheets, equal quoted market prices, if available. If
quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on
quoted market prices of similar securities.
Held-To-Maturity Securities
- ---------------------------
Fair values for investment securities equal quoted market prices, if
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated
based on quoted market prices of similar securities.
Loans
- -----
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar
characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying
amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Deposits
- --------
The fair value of savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the
reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount). The fair value of fixed-maturity
time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies
the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The
carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.
Long-Term Borrowing
- -------------------
Rates currently available to the Association for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing debt.

Fair Value Table
- ----------------
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Association's
financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were
calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which method involves significant
judgements by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount
at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current
transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because
management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Association
does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the
respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
----------------------------
This is an AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this "Agreement") made December 6,
1996, by and among AMERICAN FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN ASSOCIATION OF SULLIVAN, a
Federal savings and loan association ("American Federal"), MID-MISSOURI HOLDING
CO., a Missouri corporation ("Mid-Missouri"), and BANK OF SULLIVAN, a Missouri
bank ("Subsidiary Bank").
In consideration of the premises and the mutual terms and provisions set
forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows.
ARTICLE ONE
-----------
TERMS OF THE MERGER AND CLOSING
-------------------------------
Section 1.01. The Merger. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1934, the regulations of the Office
of Thrift Supervision (the "O.T.S.") promulgated thereunder, the banking laws of
the State of Missouri and the regulations of the Missouri Division of Finance
(the "Division") promulgated thereunder (together, the "Corporate Law"),
American Federal shall merge with and into Subsidiary Bank under the charter of
the latter (the "Merger").
Section 1.02. Merging Institution. American Federal shall be the merging
institution in the Merger and its corporate identity and existence, separate and
apart from Subsidiary Bank, shall cease upon consummation of the Merger.
Section 1.03. Surviving Institution. Subsidiary Bank shall be the
surviving institution in the Merger (sometimes referred to as the "Surviving
Bank" when reference is made as of the Effective Time (as defined in Section
1.07 hereof) or thereafter). The Charter and Bylaws of the Surviving Bank shall
read in their entirety as do the Charter and Bylaws of Subsidiary Bank as of the
date hereof.
Section 1.04. Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have all of the
effects provided by the Corporate Law. The business of the Surviving Bank shall
be that of a Missouri-chartered commercial bank. This business shall be
conducted by the Surviving Bank at its main office and at all legally
established branch offices. The number of directors which the Surviving Bank
shall have shall be ten (10) and the board of directors of Subsidiary Bank at
the Effective Time shall be the board of directors of the Surviving Bank. The
terms which the directors shall serve shall be as provided in the Bylaws of
Subsidiary Bank or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. At
the Effective Time, the Surviving Bank shall be considered the same business and
corporate entity as each of Subsidiary Bank and American Federal (collectively,
the "Constituent Institutions") and thereupon and thereafter all the property,
rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Constituent
Institutions shall vest in the Surviving Bank and the Surviving Bank shall be
subject to and be deemed to have assumed all of the debts, liabilities,
obligations and duties, including any liquidation account maintained by the
Constituent Institutions, of each of the Constituent Institutions and shall have
succeeded to all of each of their relationships, fiduciary or otherwise, as
fully and to the same extent as if such property, rights, privileges, powers,
franchises, debts, liabilities, obligations, duties and relationships had been
originally acquired, incurred or entered into by the Surviving Bank. In
addition, any reference to either of the Constituent Institutions in any
contract or document, whether executed or taking effect before or after
A-1
<PAGE>
the Effective Time, shall be considered a reference to the Surviving Bank if not
inconsistent with the other provisions of the contract or document; and any
pending action or other judicial proceedings to which either of the Constituent
Institutions is a party shall not be deemed to have been abated and shall have
the same force and effect as if the Merger had not occurred; or the Surviving
Bank may be substituted as a party to such action or proceedings, and any
judgment, order or decree may be rendered for or against it that might have been
rendered for or against either of the Constituent Institutions if the Merger had
not occurred. The liquidation account maintained by American Federal shall be
assumed by the Surviving Bank and shall be and become the liquidation account of
the Surviving Bank upon consummation of the Merger.
Section 1.05. Merger Consideration; Conversion of Shares.
(a) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of American Federal (the "American Federal Common") issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than shares any
holders of which have duly exercised and perfected their dissenters' rights
under the Corporate Law, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action
on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive, in
the proportions described in Section 1.05(c) hereof, a combination of cash and
common stock, par value $10.00 per share, of Mid-Missouri (the "Mid-Missouri
Common") in an aggregate amount equal to the per share Closing Book Value (as
defined in Section 1.05(b) hereof) of American Federal (such aggregate amount of
cash and Mid-Missouri Common is hereinafter referred to as the "Merger
Consideration").
(b) The term "Closing Book Value" shall mean the amount of the consolidated
shareholders' equity accounts, exclusive of preferred stock, of American
Federal, reduced by any and all accruals, expenses, charge-offs, deductions or
adjustments to the accounts of American Federal in connection with the Merger.
The Closing Book Value shall be determined as of the last day of the month
immediately preceding the month in which the Closing Date occurs by the
accounting firm of Baird, Kurtz & Dobson in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP").
(c) The aggregate number of shares of Mid-Missouri Common issued in the
Merger (the "Stock Component") will equal the quotient of (A) divided by (B),
where (A) equals seven percent (7%) of the Total Assets of American Federal, and
(B) equals the per share Book Value of Mid-Missouri Common. For purposes of
this Section 1.05(c), the "Total Assets" of American Federal shall mean the
total assets as shown on the books of American Federal as of the last day of the
month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing Date occurs, and the
"Book Value" of Mid-Missouri Common shall mean the amount of the consolidated
shareholders' equity accounts, exclusive of preferred stock, of Mid-Missouri as
of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the
Closing Date occurs. The aggregate cash portion of the purchase price (the
"Cash Component") shall equal the difference between the Merger Consideration
minus the aggregate Book Value of the Stock Component as described above. No
fractional shares of Mid-Missouri Common shall be issued and, in lieu thereof,
holders of shares of American Federal Common who would otherwise be entitled to
a fractional share interest in Mid-Missouri Common (after taking into account
all shares of American Federal Common held by such holder) shall be paid an
amount in cash (which such cash shall be added to, and considered a part of, the
Cash Component, as defined below) in an amount equal to the product of such
fractional share interest and the Book Value of a share of Mid-Missouri Common.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of whole shares of Mid-Missouri Common
issued to each shareholder of American Federal will be increased, as necessary,
and the Cash Component of the Merger Consideration payable to each shareholder
of American Federal will be decreased, as necessary, such that the aggregate
Book Value of
A-2
<PAGE>
the Stock Component, determined as of the Closing Date, will be not less than
40% of the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to all shareholders of
American Federal.
(d) At the Effective Time, all of the outstanding shares of American Federal
Common, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
holders thereof, shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and
retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any certificate or
certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented
outstanding shares of American Federal Common (the "Certificates") shall
thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except the
right of such holders to receive, without interest, the Merger Consideration
upon the surrender of such Certificate or Certificates in accordance with
Section 1.08 hereof or the right provided under Section 1.05(g) hereof, as
applicable.
(e) At the Effective Time, each share of American Federal Common, if any,
held in the treasury of American Federal (other than shares held in trust
accounts for the benefit of others or in other fiduciary, nominee or similar
capacities) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled.
(f) Each share of common stock, par value $20.00 per share, of Subsidiary
Bank outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain
outstanding unaffected by the Merger.
(g) If holders of American Federal Common are entitled to and do object to
the Merger and demand payment of the value of their shares under the Corporate
Law, any issued and outstanding shares of American Federal Common held by an
objecting holder shall not be converted as described in this Section 1.05 but
from and after the Effective Time shall represent only the right to receive such
value as may be determined to be due to such objecting holder pursuant to the
Corporate Law; provided, however, that each share of American Federal Common
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by an objecting
holder who shall, after the Effective Time, either withdraw his or her demand
for payment of value or lose his or her right to so object shall have only such
rights as are provided under the Corporate Law.
Section 1.06. The Closing. The closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall
take place at the main offices of Mid-Missouri at 10:00 A.M. Central Time on the
Closing Date described in Section 1.07 of this Agreement.
Section 1.07. Closing Date. The Closing shall take place at the close of
business on the last business day of the month during which each of the
conditions in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 is satisfied or waived by the appropriate
party or on such other date after such satisfaction or waiver as Mid-Missouri
and American Federal may agree (the "Closing Date"). The effective time of the
Merger (the "Effective Time") shall be the time of filing for record, in the
office of the recorder of deeds of each of Franklin County and Crawford County,
Missouri, a copy of the short-form merger agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
1.07 and executed on the date hereof (the "Statutory Merger Agreement"),
together with such other documents as may be required by the Corporate Law.
Section 1.08. Exchange Procedures; Surrender of Certificates.
(a) _________________________________________ shall act as Exchange Agent in
the Merger (the "Exchange Agent").
A-3
<PAGE>
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange
Agent shall mail to each record holder of any Certificate or Certificates whose
shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, a
letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and
risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery
of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have
such other provisions as Mid-Missouri may reasonably specify) (each such letter,
the "Merger Letter of Transmittal") and instructions for use in effecting the
surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon
surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a Merger Letter
of Transmittal duly executed and any other required documents, the holder of
such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor solely the
Merger Consideration. No interest on the Merger Consideration issuable upon the
surrender of the Certificates shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of
holders of Certificates. If the Merger Consideration is to be issued to a
person other than a person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is
registered, it shall be a condition of issuance that the surrendered Certificate
shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the
person requesting such issuance shall pay to the Exchange Agent any required
transfer or other taxes or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent
that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.
(c) At any time following six (6) months after the Effective Time, Mid-
Missouri shall be entitled to terminate the Exchange Agent relationship, and
thereafter holders of Certificates shall be entitled to look only to Mid-
Missouri (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) with
respect to the Merger Consideration issuable upon surrender of their
Certificates.
(d) No dividends that are otherwise payable on shares of Mid-Missouri Common
constituting the Stock Component of the Merger Consideration shall be paid to
persons entitled to receive such shares of Mid-Missouri Common until such
persons surrender their Certificates. Upon such surrender, there shall be paid
to the person in whose name the shares of Mid-Missouri Common shall be issued
any dividends which may have become payable with respect to such shares of Mid-
Missouri Common (without interest and less the amount of taxes, if any, which
may have been imposed thereon), between the Effective Time and the time of such
surrender.
(e) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to
be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Mid-Missouri, the posting by
such person of a bond in such amount as Mid-Missouri may determine is necessary
as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such
Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof
pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 1.09. Actions At Closing.
(a) At the Closing, American Federal shall deliver to Mid-Missouri:
(i) a certified copy of the Charter of American Federal;
(ii) a Certificate signed by an appropriate officer of American
Federal stating that (A) each of the representations and warranties
contained in Article Two is true and correct in all material respects at the
time of the Closing with the same force and effect as if such
representations and warranties had been made at Closing, (B) all of the
conditions set forth in Sections 6.01(b) and 6.01(d) (but, with respect to
the latter section, only to approvals which
A-4

as provided therein and (C) this Agreement and the Statutory Merger
Agreement have been approved by the requisite vote of American Federal's

connection therewith;

matters listed on Exhibit 1.09(a) hereto.
(b) At the Closing, Mid-Missouri shall deliver to American Federal:
(i) a Certificate signed by an appropriate officer of Mid-Missouri
stating that (A) each of the representations and warranties contained in
Article Three is true and correct in all material respects at the time of
the Closing with the same force and effect as if such representations and
warranties had been made at Closing, and (B) all of the conditions set forth
in Sections 6.02(b) and 6.02(d) (but excluding the approval of American
Federal's shareholders) have been satisfied or waived as provided therein;
(ii) a certified copy of the resolutions of Mid-Missouri's Board of
Directors authorizing the execution of this Agreement and the Statutory
Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated in connection therewith;

American Federal Common.
Section 1.10. Tax Consequences. It is intended that the Merger shall
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
A-5
<PAGE>
and that this Agreement shall constitute a "plan of reorganization" for the
purposes of Section 368 of the Code.
ARTICLE TWO
-----------
REPRESENTATIONS OF AMERICAN FEDERAL
-----------------------------------
American Federal hereby makes the following representations and warranties:
Section 2.01. Organization and Capital Stock.
(a) American Federal is a federally chartered, stock-form savings and loan
association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of the United States with full corporate power and all necessary governmental
authorizations to own all of its properties and assets, to incur all of its
liabilities and to carry on its business as presently conducted.
(b) The authorized capital stock of American Federal consists of 152,087
shares of American Federal Common, of which, as of the date hereof, 152,087
shares are issued and outstanding. No shares of preferred stock have been
authorized or issued. All of the issued and outstanding shares of American
Federal Common are duly and validly issued and outstanding and are fully paid
and non-assessable. None of the outstanding shares of American Federal Common
has been issued in violation of any preemptive rights of the current or past
stockholders of American Federal. As of the date hereof, American Federal has
neither granted nor is there outstanding any warrants, stock options or the like
representing the right to acquire any shares of American Federal Common. Except
as disclosed in Section 2.01(b) of that certain confidential writing delivered
by American Federal to Mid-Missouri and executed by American Federal and Mid-
Missouri concurrently with the delivery and execution of this Agreement (the
"Disclosure Schedule"), each Certificate representing shares of American Federal
Common issued by American Federal in replacement of any Certificate theretofore
issued by it which was claimed by the record holder thereof to have been lost,
stolen or destroyed was issued by American Federal only upon receipt of an
affidavit of lost stock certificate and a bond sufficient to indemnify American
Federal against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged
loss, theft or destruction of any such Certificate or the issuance of such
replacement Certificate.
(c) Except as set forth in subsection 2.01(b) hereof, there are no shares of
capital stock or other equity securities of American Federal outstanding and no
outstanding options, warrants, rights to subscribe for, calls, or commitments of
any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into
or exchangeable for, shares of the capital stock of American Federal or
contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which American Federal
is or may be obligated to issue additional shares of its capital stock or
options, warrants or rights to purchase or acquire any additional shares of its
capital stock.
Section 2.02. Authorizations; No Defaults. American Federal's Board of
Directors has, by all appropriate action, approved this Agreement and the Merger
and authorized the execution hereof on its behalf by its duly authorized
officers and the performance by American Federal of its obligations hereunder.
Nothing in the Charter or Bylaws of American Federal, as amended, or any other
agreement, instrument, decree, proceeding, law or regulation (except as
specifically referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement) by or to which it
is bound or subject would prohibit or inhibit American Federal from
A-6
<PAGE>
consummating this Agreement and the Merger on the terms and conditions herein
contained. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by
American Federal and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
American Federal, enforceable against American Federal in accordance with its
terms. American Federal is not in default under or in violation of any
provision of its charter or articles of incorporation, bylaws, or any promissory
note, indenture or any evidence of indebtedness or security therefor, lease,
contract, purchase or other commitment or any other agreement which is material
to American Federal.
Section 2.03. Subsidiaries; Partnerships; Joint Ventures. American Federal
has no subsidiaries and is not a party to any partnership or joint venture.
Section 2.04. Financial Information. The audited balance sheets of
American Federal as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and related audited
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the
three (3) years ended December 31, 1995, together with the notes thereto, and
the unaudited balance sheet of American Federal as of September 30, 1996, and
the related unaudited income statement and statement of changes in shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the nine (9) months then ended, all of which are
included in Section 2.04 of the Disclosure Schedule (together, the "American
Federal Financial Statements"), have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis (except as
disclosed therein) and fairly present the financial position and the results of
operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows of American Federal
as of the dates and for the periods indicated (subject, in the case of interim
financial statements, to normal recurring year-end adjustments, none of which
will be material).
Section 2.05. Absence of Changes. Since December 31, 1995, there has not
been any material adverse change in the financial condition, the results of
operations or the business or prospects of American Federal, nor have there been
any events or transactions having such a material adverse effect which should be
disclosed in order to make the American Federal Financial Statements not
misleading. Since the date of the most recent O.T.S. examination reports, there
has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, the results of
operations or the business or prospects of American Federal.
Section 2.06. Regulatory Enforcement Matters. Except as may be disclosed
in Section 2.06 of the Disclosure Schedule, American Federal is not subject to,
and has not received any notice or advice that it may become subject to, any
order, agreement, memorandum of understanding or any other regulatory
enforcement action or proceeding with or by any federal or state agency charged
with the supervision or regulation of thrifts or thrift holding companies or
engaged in the insurance of thrift deposits or any other governmental agency
having supervisory or regulatory authority with respect to American Federal.
Section 2.07. Tax Matters. American Federal has filed all federal, state
and local tax returns due in respect of any of its business or properties in a
timely fashion and has paid or made provision for all amounts due as shown on
such returns. All such returns fairly reflect the information required to be
presented therein. All provisions for accrued but unpaid taxes contained in the
American Federal Financial Statements were made in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and in the aggregate do not materially fail to
provide for anticipated tax liabilities.
Section 2.08. Litigation. Except as may be disclosed in Section 2.08 of
the Disclosure Schedule, there is no litigation, claim or other proceeding
pending or, to the knowledge of American Federal,
A-7
<PAGE>
threatened, against American Federal, or of which the property of American
Federal is or would be subject.
Section 2.09. Employment Agreements. Except as may be disclosed in Section
2.09 of the Disclosure Schedule, American Federal is not a party to or bound by
any contract for the employment, retention or engagement, or with respect to the
severance, of any officer, employee, agent, consultant or other person or entity
which, by its terms, is not terminable by American Federal on thirty (30) days
written notice or less without the payment of any amount by reason of such
termination. A true, accurate and complete copy of each such agreement,
together with any and all amendments or supplements thereto, is included in
Section 2.09 of the Disclosure Schedule.
Section 2.10. Reports. Except as may be disclosed in Section 2.10 of the
Disclosure Schedule, American Federal has filed all reports and statements,
together with any amendments required to be made with respect thereto, that it
was required to file with (i) the O.T.S., (ii) any applicable state securities
or banking or thrift authorities, and (iii) any other governmental authority
with jurisdiction over American Federal. As of their respective dates, each of
such reports and documents, including the financial statements, exhibits and
schedules thereto, complied in all material respects with the relevant statutes,
rules and regulations enforced or promulgated by the regulatory authority with
which they were filed, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
Section 2.11. Investment Portfolio. All United States Treasury securities,
obligations of other United States Government agencies and corporations,
obligations of States and political subdivisions of the United States and other
investment securities held by American Federal, as reflected in the latest
balance sheet of American Federal included in the American Federal Financial
Statements, are carried in the aggregate at no more than cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, except as otherwise
required by FASB 115.
Section 2.12. Loan Portfolio. Except as may be disclosed in Section 2.12
of the Disclosure Schedule, (i) all loans and discounts shown on the American
Federal Financial Statements at September 30, 1996 or which were entered into
after September 30, 1996, but before the Closing Date, were and will be made in
all material respects for good, valuable and adequate consideration in the
ordinary course of the business of American Federal, in accordance in all
material respects with sound banking practices, and are not subject to any known
defenses, setoffs or counterclaims, including without limitation any such as are
afforded by usury or truth in lending laws, except as may be provided by
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws or by general principles of equity; (ii)
the notes or other evidences of indebtedness evidencing such loans and all forms
of pledges, mortgages and other collateral documents and security agreements are
and will be, in all material respects, enforceable, valid, true and genuine and
what they purport to be; and (iii) American Federal has complied and will prior
to the Closing Date comply with all laws and regulations relating to such loans,
or to the extent there has not been such compliance, such failure to comply will
not materially interfere with the collection of any such loan.
Section 2.13. Employee Matters and ERISA.
(a) American Federal has not entered into any collective bargaining
agreement with any labor organization with respect to any group of employees of
American Federal and to the knowledge of
A-8
<PAGE>
American Federal there is no present effort nor existing proposal to attempt to

(b) Except as may be disclosed in Section 2.13(b) of the Disclosure

(d) Except as may be disclosed in Section 2.13(d) of the Disclosure
Schedule, American Federal does not maintain, contribute to or participate in or
have any liability under any employee benefit plans, as defined in Section 3(3)
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or
any nonqualified employee benefit plans or deferred compensation, bonus, stock

benefit of former or current employees of American Federal (the "Employee
Plans"). No present or former employee of American Federal has been charged
with breaching nor has breached a fiduciary duty under any of the Employee

(5) years participated in, nor has it any present or future obligation or
liability under, any multiemployer plan (as defined at Section 3(37) of ERISA).

of the Code. No reportable event (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) has
occurred with respect to any Employee Plans as to which a notice would be
required to be filed with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. No claim is
pending, and American Federal has not received notice of any threatened or
imminent claim with respect to any Employee Plan (other than a routine claim for
benefits for which plan administrative review procedures have not been
exhausted) for which American Federal would be liable after September 30, 1996,
except as will be reflected on the American Federal Financial Statements.
American Federal does not have any liabilities for excise taxes under Sections
4971, 4975, 4976, 4977, 4979 or 4980B of the Code or for a fine under Section
502 of ERISA with respect to any Employee Plan. All Employee Plans have been
operated, administered and maintained in accordance with the terms thereof and
in substantial compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, orders,
rules and regulations, including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code.
(f) Except as may be disclosed in Section 2.13(f) of the Disclosure
Schedule, each benefit plan maintained by American Federal for the benefit of
its directors, officers and employees (including, but
A-9
<PAGE>
not limited to, defined contribution or savings plans and deferred compensation
plans) is fully funded and, except with respect to the vested rights of
participants in any such plan, unencumbered.
Section 2.14. Title to Properties; Insurance. American Federal has good
and marketable title, insurable at standard rates, free and clear of all liens,
charges and encumbrances (except taxes which are a lien but not yet payable and
liens, charges or encumbrances reflected in the American Federal Financial
Statements and easements, rights-of-way, and other restrictions which are not
material and further excepting in the case of Other Real Estate Owned
("O.R.E.O."), as such real estate is internally classified on the books of
American Federal, rights of redemption under applicable law) to all of its real
properties. All leasehold interests for real property and any material personal
property used by American Federal in its business are held pursuant to lease
agreements which are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms. All
such properties comply in all material respects with all applicable private
agreements, zoning requirements and other governmental laws and regulations
relating thereto and there are no condemnation proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of American Federal, threatened with respect to such properties.
American Federal has valid title or other ownership or license rights under
licenses to all material intangible personal or intellectual property used by
American Federal in its business, free and clear of any claim, defense or right
of any other person or entity which is material to such property, subject only
to rights of the licensors pursuant to applicable license agreements, which
rights do not materially adversely interfere with the use of such property. All
material insurable properties owned or held by American Federal are adequately
insured by financially sound and reputable insurers in such amounts and against
fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage and public liability
insurance, as is customary with thrift institutions of similar size.
Section 2.15. Environmental Matters.

and federal environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in all
jurisdictions in which American Federal has done business or owned, leased or
operated property, including, without limitation, the Federal Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, the Federal Clean Water Act, the Federal Clean
Air Act, and the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act.
(b) Except as disclosed in Section 2.15(b) of the Disclosure Schedule,
neither the conduct nor operation of American Federal nor any condition of any
property presently or previously owned, leased or operated by it violates or
violated Environmental Laws in any material respect and no condition has existed
or event has occurred with respect to it or any such property that, with notice
or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a violation of Environmental
Laws or obligate (or potentially obligate) American Federal to remedy,
stabilize, neutralize or otherwise alter the environmental condition of any such
property where the aggregate cost of such actions would be material to American
Federal. Except as may be disclosed in Section 2.15(b) of the Disclosure
Schedule, American Federal has not received any notice from any person or entity
that American Federal or the operation or condition of any facility or any
property ever owned (including, without limitation, O.R.E.O.), leased or
operated by it are or were in violation of any Environmental Laws or that
American Federal is responsible (or potentially responsible) for remedying, or
the cleanup of, any pollutants, contaminants, or hazardous or toxic wastes,
substances or materials at, on or beneath any such property.
(c) Except as disclosed in Section 2.15(c) of the Disclosure Schedule,
American Federal has not received notice and does not have knowledge that any
property in which American Federal has a
A-10
<PAGE>
security interest, lien or other encumbrance violates or violated Environmental
Laws in any material respect.

contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated, and whether due or
to become due (and there is no past or present fact, situation, circumstance,
condition or other basis for any present or future action, suit or proceeding,
hearing, charge, complaint, claim or demand against American Federal giving rise
to any such liability), except (i) for liabilities set forth in the American
Federal Financial Statements, and (ii) as may be disclosed in Section 2.18 of
the Disclosure Schedule.
Section 2.19. Statements True and Correct. None of the information
supplied or to be supplied by American Federal for inclusion in (i) the
Registration Statement (as defined in Section 4.06 hereof), (ii) the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus (as defined in Section 4.03 hereof), and (iii) any document

(a) Notwithstanding that American Federal believes that it has established

generally accepted accounting principles and applicable laws, rules and
regulations, American Federal recognizes that Mid-Missouri's banking subsidiary
may have adopted different loan, accrual and reserve policies (including loan

after the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, American Federal and
Mid-Missouri shall consult and cooperate with each other with respect to
conforming, as specified in a written notice from Mid-Missouri to American
Federal, based upon such consultation and as hereinafter provided, American

(b) In addition, from and after the date of this Agreement to the Effective
Time, American Federal and Mid-Missouri shall consult and cooperate with each
other with respect to determining, as specified in a written notice from Mid-
Missouri to American Federal, based upon such consultation and as hereinafter
provided, appropriate accruals, reserves and charges to establish and take in
respect of excess equipment write-off or write-down of various assets and other
appropriate charges and accounting adjustments taking into account the parties'
business plans following the Merger.
(c) American Federal and Mid-Missouri shall consult and cooperate with each
other with respect to determining, as specified in a written notice from Mid-

provided, the amount and the timing for recognizing for financial accounting
purposes the expenses of the Merger and the restructuring charges related to or
to be incurred in connection with the Merger.
(d) At the request of Mid-Missouri, American Federal shall establish and
take such reserves and accruals as Mid-Missouri shall request to conform
American Federal's loan, accrual and reserve policies to Mid-Missouri's or
Subsidiary Bank's policies, shall establish and take such accruals, reserves and
charges in order to implement such policies in respect of excess facilities and
equipment capacity, severance costs, litigation matters, write-off or write-down
of various assets and other appropriate accounting adjustments, and to recognize
for financial accounting purposes such expenses of the Merger and restructuring
charges related to or to be incurred in connection with the Merger, in each case
at such times as are mutually agreeable to Mid-Missouri and American Federal.
(e) From and after the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time,
American Federal shall maintain and keep all of its benefit plans (including,
but not limited to, defined contribution plans and deferred compensation plans)
fully funded, and shall, to the extent any such benefit plan may not be fully or
adequately funded, make such contributions as are necessary to fully fund any
such inadequately funded benefit plan.
Section 4.06. Consummation of Agreement. American Federal shall use its
best efforts to perform and fulfill all conditions and obligations on its part
to be performed or fulfilled under this Agreement, to effect the Merger in

approvals and consents on its part to be obtained pursuant to this Agreement.
American Federal shall furnish to Mid-Missouri in a timely manner all
information, data and documents in the possession or under the control of
American Federal requested by Mid-Missouri as may be required to obtain any
necessary regulatory or other approvals of the Merger or to file with the S.E.C.

the shares of Mid-Missouri Common

<PAGE>
that may be issued to the shareholders of American Federal pursuant to the
Merger and this Agreement and shall otherwise cooperate fully with Mid-Missouri
to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.
Section 4.07. Environmental Reports. On or before the fifteenth (15th) day
after the date of this Agreement, Mid-Missouri may request American Federal to
provide a report of a phase one environmental investigation on any or all real
parcels of property owned (including, without limitation, OREO), leased or
operated by American Federal as of the date of such request (other than space in
retail and similar establishments leased by American Federal for automatic
teller machines). American Federal shall provide Mid-Missouri with a report of
such phase one environmental investigation on any or all such parcels of
property within forty-five (45) days of such request. If required by the phase
one investigation in Mid-Missouri's reasonable opinion, American Federal shall
provide to Mid-Missouri a report of a phase two investigation on properties
requiring such additional study. Mid-Missouri shall have fifteen (15) business
days from the receipt of any such phase two investigation report to notify
American Federal of any objection to the contents of such report. Should the
cost of taking all remedial and corrective actions and measures (i) required by
applicable law, or (ii) recommended or suggested by such report or reports, or
(iii) prudent in light of serious life, health or safety concerns, in the
aggregate, exceed the sum of $50,000 as reasonably estimated by an environmental
expert retained for such purpose by Mid-Missouri and reasonably acceptable to
American Federal, or if the cost of such actions and measures cannot be so
reasonably estimated by such expert to be $50,000 or less with any reasonable
degree of certainty, then Mid-Missouri shall have the right pursuant to Section
7.03 hereof, for a period of fifteen (15) business days following receipt of
such estimate or indication that the cost of such actions and measures can not
be so reasonably estimated, to terminate this Agreement.
Section 4.08. Access to Information. American Federal shall permit Mid-
Missouri reasonable access in a manner which will avoid undue disruption or
interference with American Federal's normal operations to its properties and
shall disclose and make available to Mid-Missouri all books, documents, papers
and records relating to its assets, stock, ownership, properties, operations,
obligations and liabilities, including, but not limited to, all books of account

workpapers (if available and subject to the respective independent accountants'
consent), litigation files, plans affecting employees, and any other business
activities or prospects in which Mid-Missouri may have a reasonable and
legitimate interest in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, American
Federal will include in the Disclosure Schedule all available environmental
information, including without limitation environmental and regulatory reports,
studies, notices, claims and any material of whatever kind. Mid-Missouri will
hold any such information which is nonpublic in confidence in accordance with
the provisions of Section 8.01 hereof.
Section 4.09. Restriction on Resales. American Federal shall obtain and
deliver to Mid-Missouri, at least 31 days prior to the Closing Date, the signed
agreement, in the form of Exhibit 4.09 hereto, of each person who may reasonably
be deemed an "affiliate" of American Federal within the meaning of such term as

___________________, 1996
Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
318 West Main Street
Sullivan, Missouri 63080
Re: Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December ___, 1996 (the
"Acquisition Agreement"), by and among American Federal Savings and
Loan Association of Sullivan ("American Federal"), Mid-Missouri Holding
Company, Inc. ("Mid-Missouri") and Bank of Sullivan
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been advised that I may be deemed to be an affiliate of American
Federal, as that term is defined for purposes of paragraphs (c) and (d) of Rule
145 ("Rule 145") of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, each
share of common stock of American Federal owned by me as of the effective time
of the merger contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement (the "Merger") may be
converted into the right to receive a combination of cash and shares of common
stock of Mid-Missouri (the "Mid-Missouri Shares"). This letter is delivered to
Mid-Missouri pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Acquisition Agreement.
A. I represent and warrant to Mid-Missouri and agree that:
1. I shall not make any sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Mid-Missouri Shares I receive pursuant to the Merger in violation of the
Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated
thereunder.
2. I understand that the issuance of the Mid-Missouri Shares to me
pursuant to the Merger will be registered with the Commission under the
Securities Act. I also understand that because I may be deemed an
"affiliate" of American Federal and because any distributions by me of the
Mid-Missouri Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act, such
Mid-Missouri Shares must be held by me unless (i) the sale, transfer or
other distribution has been registered under the Securities Act, (ii) the
sale, transfer or other distribution of such Mid-Missouri Shares is made in
accordance with the provisions of Rule 145, or (iii) in the opinion of
counsel acceptable to Mid-Missouri some other exemption from registration
under the Securities Act is available with respect to any such proposed
distribution, sale, transfer or other disposition of such Mid-Missouri
Shares.
A-37
<PAGE>
B. I understand and agree that:
1. Stop transfer instructions will be issued with respect to the Mid-
Missouri Shares and there will be placed on the certificates representing
such Mid-Missouri Shares, or any certificate delivered in substitution
therefor, a legend stating in substance:
"The shares represented by this Certificate were issued in a
transaction to which Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, applied. The shares represented by this certificate may be
transferred only in accordance with the terms of a letter agreement
dated ___________________, 199_, by the registered holder in favor of
Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc., a copy of which agreement is on
file at the principal offices of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc."
2. Unless the transfer by me of Mid-Missouri Shares is a sale made in
compliance with the provisions of Rule 145(d) or made pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, Mid-Missouri
reserves the right to place the following legend on the Certificates issued
to my transferee:
"The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were acquired from a
person who received such shares in a transaction to which Rule 145
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, applied. The shares have
not been acquired by the holder with a view to, or for resale in
connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold or otherwise
transferred unless the shares have been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from registration is
available."
I understand and agree that the legends set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2
above shall be removed by delivery of substitute Certificates without any legend
if I deliver to Mid-Missouri a copy of a letter from the staff of the
Commission, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance satisfactory to Mid-
Missouri, to the effect that no such legend is required for the purpose of the
Securities Act.
I have carefully read this letter and the Acquisition Agreement and
understand the requirements of each and the limitations imposed upon the
distribution, sale, transfer or other disposition of Mid-Missouri Shares by me.
Very truly yours,
A-38

SECTION 8 OF THE FEDERAL STOCK CHARTER OF AMERICAN FEDERAL

FAIRNESS OPINION OF
NORMAN BACKUES & ASSOCIATES, INC.

<PAGE>
[NORMAN BACKUES & ASSOCIATES, INC. LETTERHEAD]
March 20, 1997
Board of Directors
American Federal Savings & Loan Association of Sullivan
20 Hughes Ford Road
Sullivan, Missouri 63080-0250
Members of the Board:
American Federal Savings & Loan Association of Sullivan (the "Bank"), under
date of March 7, 1997, requested and authorized our firm to conduct the
necessary investigation to produce a fairness opinion for your bank suitable for
the fulfillment of the requirements of the banking laws of the State of Missouri
and the regulations of the Missouri Division of Finance. Our opinion as to the
fairness was the consideration to be paid by Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
(the "Company") in connection with the proposed transaction of the Bank (the
"Transaction"). The terms of the proposed Transaction are contained in the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated December 1996 ("the Agreement")
between the Company and the Bank and the related Merger Agreement between the
Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc. and Bank, and provide for, among other
things, each share of the Bank's common stock to be converted into the right to
receive shares of stock in the Company as per the formula included in the
Agreement.
In conducting our investigation and analysis, and in arriving at the opinion as
expressed herein, we have reviewed and analyzed, among other data:
(1) the financial statements of the Bank and the Company for the years
ending 1995 and 1996;
(2) the Agreement;
(3) publicly available information regarding the performance of certain
other banking companies whose business activities we believe to be
generally comparable with the Bank and the Company;
(4) other information we deemed relevant.
The Internal Revenue Service has prescribed various factors to be considered in
the valuation of closely-held businesses. Accordingly, we have considered all
of the factors described in various Revenue Rulings, including:
a. nature and history of the business
b. economic outlook and condition of the industry
c. book value of stock and financial condition of the business
d. earning capacity of the company
D-2
<PAGE>
e. dividend paying capacity
f. goodwill and other intangibles
g. prior sales and size of the block to be valued
h. market price of similar stocks actively traded in open markets
Further, we have taken into account our assessment of general economic, market
and financial conditions, our experience in bank valuation, the nature and terms
of certain other acquisition transactions involving commercial banks and bank
holding companies whose business characteristics are reasonably comparable to
the Bank and the Company, respectively, and our knowledge of the banking
industry generally.
We understand that our appraisal will be used for fairness opinion purposes
only. No other purpose is intended or should be inferred.
For purposes of this appraisal, we define the term fair market value as the
price which property will bring when it is offered for sale by one who is
willing but not obligated to sell it, and is bought by one who is willing or
desires to purchase, but is not compelled to do so.
As it relates to the stock of the Bank, when no market exists for a stock, or
the stock is thinly traded resulting in a potential distortion of fair market
value, the appraiser must resort to an analysis of relevant intrinsic factors to
determine fair market value.
Shares of the Company are not publicly traded and the value of the shares used
in our valuation is based upon the information that is readily available (see
Exhibits V, VI and IX). Based upon our review of the data, the fair market
value of a share of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc. common stock, as of
December 31, 1996, was $95 per share.
Shares of the Bank are not publicly traded and the value of the shares used in
our valuation is based upon the information that is readily available (see
Exhibits III, IV, VII and VIII). Based upon our review of the data, the fair
market value of a share of American Federal Savings & Loan Association of
Sullivan common stock, as of December 31, 1996, was $28 per share.
In our review and analysis, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and
completeness of the financial and other information provided to us or publicly
available without independent verification. Further, we have not made any
evaluations or appraisals of the investment and loan portfolios or the
properties and facilities of the Bank.
Based upon the foregoing and such other factors as we deem relevant, it is our
opinion as consultants that, as of the date hereof, the terms of the Transaction
are fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Bank's common
stock as well as the holders of the Company's common stock. We understand that
we are not obligated to revise our opinion due to events and fluctuating
economic conditions occurring subsequent to the date of this opinion.

March 14, 1997
Board of Directors
Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
318 West Main Street
P.O. Box 489
Sullivan, MO 63080-0489
Gentlemen:
American Federal Savings & Loan Association of Sullivan, a Federal savings and
loan association ("American Federal"), Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc., a
Missouri Corporation ("Mid-Missouri"), and Bank of Sullivan, a Missouri bank and
wholly owned subsidiary of Mid-Missouri ("Subsidiary Bank"), have entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") dated December 6, 1996.
Pursuant to Merger Agreement, and subject to certain conditions and provisions
set forth therein, American Federal will be merged with and into Subsidiary Bank
in a transaction ("The Merger") in which each share of American Federal common
stock will be converted into the right to receive the "Merger Consideration" (as
defined hereafter) in common stock and cash. Therefore, you have requested our
opinion as to the fairness of the Merger Consideration, from a financial point
of view, for the benefit of the shareholders of Mid-Missouri.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Consideration will consist of the
right to receive cash and common stock for each issued and outstanding share of
American Federal Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the
Merger Agreement. The shares received will be shares of common stock of Mid-
Missouri in the proportion as described hereafter.
In the Merger, shares of American Federal Common will be converted into a
combination of cash and Mid-Missouri Common having an aggregate value equal to
the per share Closing Book Value (as herein defined) of American Federal. From
hereon, the term "Book Value" means the total amount of an entity's consolidated
stockholders' equity accounts, less preferred stock, reduced by any adjustments
to the accounts in connection with the Merger. The date of record to determine
the Book Value will be the last day of the month immediately preceding the month
in which the date of the closing of the Merger occurs.
The aggregate value of the Merger Consideration received by all stockholders of
American Federal will be payable in a combination of cash and shares of Mid-
Missouri Common. The amount of cash will be the difference between the Merger
Consideration and the aggregate Closing Book Value of the stock portion
provided. The number of shares of Mid-Missouri Common will be calculated as
follows:

Total Assets of American Federal X. 07
-----------------------------------------------
Per Share Book Value of Mid-Missouri Common
As used herein, the term "Total Assets" means the total assets as shown on the
books of American Federal as of the last day of the month preceding the month in
which the Closing Date occurs and the term "Per Share Book Value" means the
amount of the consolidated shareholders' equity accounts, exclusive of preferred
stock, of Mid-Missouri as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the
month in which the Closing Date occurs divided by the number of shares of common
stock of Mid-Missouri outstanding on such date. The Stock Component issuable
pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be increased, as necessary, and the amount
of the Cash Component payable will be decreased, as necessary, such that the
aggregate Book Value of the Stock, determined as of the Closing Date, will not
be less than forty percent (40%) of the Merger Consideration.
Value of the Merger
Based on the approximate Book Value of American Federal at December 31, 1996,
calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement as described
above, the Merger Consideration had an approximate per share value of $24.54
($14.72 cash and .2051 share of Mid-Missouri Common) and an approximate total
value of $3.7 million to holders of American Federal Common. The value of the
Merger Consideration estimated above may increase or decrease depending on the
components making up the determination of American Federal's Book Value and the
date on which the Effective Time occurs.
The actual value of the Merger Consideration to be received by stockholders of
American Federal, including the number of shares of Mid-Missouri Common
constituting the Stock Component and the value of the Cash Component, cannot be
calculated as of the date of this opinion.
Lexington Financial Group, L.L.C. is a financial advisory and consulting firm
that specializes in bank holding companies, commercial banking, and savings bank
industries. We are largely engaged for purposes of valuation of securities in
connection with merger and acquisition transactions, recapitalizations, and
Employee Stock Ownership Plans. We have not been retained to advise in any
capacity, other than that previously stated, in this Merger by any of the
parties involved.
In arriving at the opinion expressed hereafter, we have among other things:
1) Reviewed the Draft of the Form S-4 Registration Statement to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in compliance with the securities
laws which govern this transaction.
2) Reviewed the audited financial statements of both American Federal and Mid-
Missouri dated December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.
3) Reviewed the Merger Agreement, dated December 6, 1996 between American
Federal and Mid-Missouri and compared the proposed financial terms of the
transactions anticipated by the Merger Agreement with the financial terms of
certain other transactions we believe to be relevant.
4) Reviewed the prospectus relating to this transaction and the financial
information provided therein.
E-3

Lexington Financial Group, L.L.C.
- ------------------------------------
5) Reviewed performance of similar institutions, considered to be peer
companies, for comparative analysis of operations, earnings, asset growth
and capital retention.
6) Reviewed general economic conditions, market and specific financial industry
trends that may impact the transaction at hand.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied, without independent verification,
upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial and other information and
the representations provided to us by American Federal and Mid-Missouri. In
addition, we have accepted all forecasts and projected values purported to us to
be reasonable and prudent. We have not tested the assets for integrity and
accept that all charge-offs are valid and all provisions adequate. We assume
that there will be no material adverse changes in the assets, financial
condition and capital accounts on the part of American Federal or Mid-Missouri
prior to the closing date of the Merger. This opinion, therefore, is based
solely upon all conditions, whether market or economic, as they exist at this
time.
Based upon the analysis and conditions as outlined above, we are of the opinion
that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be paid by Mid-
Missouri, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, is fair to the shareholders of
Mid-Missouri from a financial point of view.

EXCERPTS OF TITLE 12 - BANKS AND BANKING (DISSENTERS' RIGHTS)
(S) 552.14 Dissenter and appraisal rights.
(a) Right to demand payment of fair or appraised value. Except as provided
in paragraph (b) of this section, any stockholder of a Federal stock association
combining in accordance with (S) 552.13 of this part shall have the right to
demand payment of the fair or appraised value of his stock: Provided, That such
stockholder has not voted in favor of the combination and complies with the
provisions of paragraph (c) of this section.
(b) Exceptions. No stockholder required to accept only qualified
consideration for his or her stock shall have the right under this section to
demand payment of the stock's fair or appraised value, if such stock was listed
on a national securities exchange or quoted on the National Association of
Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") on the date of the
meeting at which the combination was acted upon or stockholder action is not
required for a combination made pursuant to (S) 552.13(h)(2) of this part.
"Qualified consideration" means cash, shares of stock of any association or
corporation which at the effective date of the combination will be listed on a
national securities exchange or quoted on NASDAQ, or any combination of such
shares of stock and cash.
(c) Procedure-(1) Notice. Each constituent Federal stock association
shall notify all stockholders entitled to rights under this section, not less
than twenty days prior to the meeting at which the combination agreement is to
be submitted for stockholder approval, of the right to demand payment of
appraised value of shares, and shall include in such notice a copy of this
section. Such written notice shall be mailed to stockholders of record and may
be part of management's proxy solicitation for such meeting.
(2) Demand for appraisal and payment. Each stockholder electing to make a
demand under this section shall deliver to the Federal stock association, before
voting on the combination, a writing identifying himself or herself and stating
his or her intention thereby to demand appraisal of and payment for his or her
shares. Such demand must be in addition to and separate from any proxy or vote
against the combination by the stockholder.
(3) Notification of effective date and written offer. Within ten days
after the effective date of the combination, the resulting association shall:
(i) Give written notice by mail to stockholders of constituent Federal
stock associations who have complied with the provisions of paragraph (c)(2) of
this section and have not voted in favor of the combination, of the effective
date of the combination;
(ii) Make a written offer to each stockholder to pay for dissenting shares
at a specified price deemed by the resulting association to be the fair value
thereof; and
(iii) Inform them that, within sixty days of such date, the respective
requirements of paragraphs (c)(5) and (c)(6) of this section (set out in the
notice) must be satisfied.
F-1
<PAGE>
The notice and offer shall be accompanied by a balance sheet and statement of
income of the association the shares of which the dissenting stockholder holds,
for a fiscal year ending not more than sixteen months before the date of notice
and offer, together with the latest available interim financial statements.
(4) Acceptance of offer. If within sixty days of the effective date of the
combination the fair value is agreed upon between the resulting association and
any stockholder who has complied with the provisions of paragraph (c)(2) of this
section, payment therefor shall be made within ninety days of the effective date
of the combination.
(5) Petition to be filed if offer not accepted. If within sixty days of
the effective date of the combination the resulting association and any
stockholder who has complied with the provisions of paragraph (c)(2) of this
section do not agree as to the fair value, then any such stockholder may file a
petition with the Office, with a copy by registered or certified mail to the
resulting association, demanding a determination of the fair market value of the
stock of all such stockholders. A stockholder entitled to file a petition under
this section who fails to file such petition within sixty days of the effective
date of the combination shall be deemed to have accepted the terms offered under
the combination.
(6) Stock certificates to be noted. Within sixty days of the effective
date of the combination, each stockholder demanding appraisal and payment under
this section shall submit to the transfer agent his certificates of stock for
notation thereon that an appraisal and payment have been demanded with respect
to such stock and that appraisal proceedings are pending. Any stockholder who
fails to submit his or her stock certificates for such notation shall no longer
be entitled to appraisal rights under this section and shall be deemed to have
accepted the terms offered under the combination.
(7) Withdrawal of demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time
within sixty days after the effective date of the combination, any stockholder
shall have the right to withdraw his or her demand for appraisal and to accept
the terms offered upon the combination.
(8) Valuation and payment. The Director shall, as he or she may elect,
either appoint one or more independent persons or direct appropriate staff of
the Office to appraise the shares to determine their fair market value, as of
the effective date of the combination, exclusive of any element of value arising
from the accomplishment or expectation of the combination. Appropriate staff of
the Office shall review and provide an opinion on appraisals prepared by
independent persons as to the suitability of the appraisal methodology and the
adequacy of the analysis and supportive data. The Director after consideration
of the appraisal report and the advice of the appropriate staff shall, if he or
she concurs in the valuation of the shares, direct payment by the resulting
association of the appraised fair value of the shares, upon surrender of the
certificates representing such stock. Payment shall be made, together with
interest from the effective date of the combination, at a rate deemed equitable
by the Director.
(9) Costs and expenses. The costs and expenses of any proceeding under
this section may be apportioned and assessed by the Director as he or she may
deem equitable against all or some of the parties. In making this determination
the Director shall consider whether any party has acted arbitrarily,
vexatiously, or not in good faith in respect to the rights provided by this
section.
(10) Voting and distribution. Any stockholder who has demanded appraisal
rights as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section shall thereafter neither
be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose nor be entitled to the payment of
dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other
distribution payable to, or a vote to be taken by stockholders of record at a
date which is on or
F-2
<PAGE>
prior to, the effective date of the combination): Provided, That if any
stockholder becomes unentitled to appraisal and payment of appraised value with
respect to such stock and accepts or is deemed to have accepted the terms
offered upon the combination, such stockholder shall thereupon be entitled to
vote and receive the distributions described above.
(11) Status. Shares of the resulting association into which shares of the
stockholders demanding appraisal rights would have been converted or exchanged,
had they assented to the combination, shall have the status of authorized and
unissued shares of the resulting association.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 351.355(1) and (2) of The General and Business Corporation Law of
the State of Missouri provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful, except that, in the case of an action or suit by or in the right
of the corporation, the corporation may not indemnify such persons against
judgments and fines and no person shall be indemnified as to any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was
brought determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for proper expenses. Section 351.355 further provides
that, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation has been successful in the defense of any such action, suit or
proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified
against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Section 351.355 also provides
that a Missouri corporation may provide additional indemnification to any person
indemnifiable under subsection (1) or (2), provided such additional
indemnification is authorized by the corporation's articles of incorporation or
an amendment thereto or by a shareholder-approved by-law or agreement, and
provided further that no person shall thereby be indemnified against conduct
which was finally adjudged to have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately
dishonest or willful misconduct. Article XIII of the Articles of Incorporation
of registrant provides that registrant shall indemnify its directors and certain
of its executive officers to the full extent specified in Section 351.355 and,
in addition, shall indemnify each of them against all expenses incurred in
connection with service for or at the request of the registrant in any of the
capacities referred to in Section 351.355 or arising out of his or her status in
any such capacity, provided that he or she may not be indemnified against
conduct finally adjudged to have been liable for negligence or misconduct.
Pursuant to a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance, with
total annual limits of $500,000, registrant's officers and directors are
insured, subject to the limits, retention, exceptions and other terms and
conditions of such policy, against liability for any actual or alleged error,
misstatement, misleading statement, act or omission, or neglect or breach of
duty by the directors or officers of registrant in the discharge of their duties
solely in their capacity as directors or officers of registrant, individually or
collectively, or any matter claimed against them solely by reason of their being
directors or officers of registrant.

(b) No financial statement schedules are required to be filed herewith

Item 22. Undertakings.
(1) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: That prior to
any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through the use of
a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or
party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the
issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information
called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by
persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called
for by the other Items of the applicable form.
(2) The undersigned Registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is
filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to
Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement
and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to
Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of
such request, and to send the incorporated document by first class mail or other
equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed
subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date
of responding to the request.
(4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the registration statement when it became effective.
(5) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and,
II-3
<PAGE>
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Each Director or Officer, or former Director or Officer of this Corporation

Director or Officer; and any person who, at the request of this Corporation
served as Director or Officer of another corporation in which this Corporation

shall apply also in respect of any amount paid in compromise of any such action,
suit, or proceeding or claim asserted against such Director or Officer
(including expenses, counsel fees, and costs reasonably incurred in connection
therewith), provided the Board of Directors shall have first approved such
proposed compromise settlement and determined that the Officer or Director
involved was not guilty of negligence or misconduct; but, in taking such action,
any Director involved shall not be qualified to vote thereon, and if for this
reason a quorum of the Board cannot be obtained to vote on such matters, it
shall be determined by a Committee of three or more persons appointed by the
Shareholders at a duly called special meeting or a regular meeting. In
determining whether or not a director or Officer was guilty of negligence or
misconduct in relation to any such matter, the Board of Directors or Committee,
as the case may be, may rely conclusively upon an opinion of independent counsel
selected by such Board or Committee. The right to indemnification herein
provided shall not be exclusive of any other rights not inconsistent herewith to
which such Director or Officer may be entitled under the By-Laws of the
Corporation, any agreement with the Corporation, under law, or otherwise.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, these Articles of Incorporation have been executed on
this 29th day of December, 1993.

Offices and Records
Section 1. Registered Office and Registered Agent. The location of the
registered office and the name of the registered agent of the corporation in the
State of Missouri shall be determined from time to time by the Board of
Directors and shall be on file in the appropriate office of the State of
Missouri pursuant to applicable provisions of law.
Section 2. Corporate Offices. The corporation may have such corporate
offices, anywhere within and without the State of Missouri as the Board of
Directors from time to time may appoint, or the business of the corporation may
require. The "principal place of business" or "principal business" or
"executive office or offices" of the corporation may be fixed and so designated
from time to time by the Board of Directors, but the location or residence of
the corporation in Missouri shall be deemed for all purposes to be in the county
in which its registered office in Missouri is maintained.
Section 3. Records. The corporation shall keep at its registered office
in Missouri, at its principal place of business, or at the office of its
transfer agent in Missouri, original or duplicate books in which shall be
recorded the number of its shares subscribed, the names of the owners of its
shares, the numbers owned of record by them respectively, the amount of shares
paid, and by whom, the transfer of said shares with the date of transfer, the
amount of its assets and liabilities, and the names and places of residence of
its officers, and from time to time such other or additional records,
statements, lists, and information as may be required by law, including the
shareholder lists mentioned in these By-laws.
Section 4. Inspection of Records. A shareholder, if he is entitled and
demands to inspect the records of the corporation pursuant to any statutory or
other legal right, shall be privileged to inspect such records only during the
usual and customary hours of business and in such manner as will not unduly
interfere with the regular conduct of the business of the corporation. In order
to exercise this right of examination, a shareholder must make written demand
upon the corporation, stating with particularity the records sought to be
examined and the purpose therefor. A shareholder may delegate his right of
inspection to his representative on the condition that, if the representative is
not an attorney, the shareholder and representative agree with the corporation
to furnish to the corporation, promptly as completed or made, a true and correct
copy of each report with respect to such inspection made by such representative.
No shareholder shall use or permit to be used or acquiesce in the use by other
of any information so obtained, to the detriment competitively of the
corporation, nor shall he furnish or permit to be furnished any information so
obtained to any competitor or prospective competitor of the corporation.
The corporation may, as a condition precedent to any shareholder's
inspection of the record of the corporation, require the shareholder to
indemnify the corporation against any loss or damage which may be suffered by it
arising out of or resulting from any unauthorized disclosure made or permitted
to be made by such shareholder or any representative or financial advisor of the
shareholder of information obtained in the course of such inspection. The
corporation may, as a further condition precedent to any shareholder's
inspection of the records of the corporation, also require the shareholder to
execute and deliver to the corporation a confidentiality agreement in which the
shareholder: (i) acknowledges that the corporation is engaged in a highly
competitive economic environment, that the nonpublic records of the corporation
would suffer material adverse financial
By-Laws of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
Adopted January 24, 1994 Page 1
<PAGE>
consequences if competitors or other entities with which the corporation does
business should gain access to nonpublic information contained in the records of
the corporation; (ii) agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, without
the corporation's prior written consent, disclose any nonpublic information
obtained from the records of the corporation to any party other than the
shareholder's representative or personal financial advisor; and (iii) agrees to
instruct his representative and any personal financial advisor not to disclose,
directly or indirectly, without the corporation's prior written consent, any
such nonpublic information received and that no applicable professional-client
privileges shall be waived. The corporation may also require any representative
or personal financial advisor of a shareholder to sign a confidentiality
agreement containing substantially the provisions described above as a condition
precedent to inspection of the records of the corporation. As used herein,
"nonpublic" information is all information other than: (a) what the corporation
has filed with a governmental agency and which (i) was not designated as
confidential, secret, proprietary, or the like and (ii) is generally open to
public inspection in accordance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations;
and (b) what the corporation has released to the press and other media for
general publication.

may be held at any place and time, and for any purpose if consented to in
writing by all of the shareholders entitled to vote thereat.
Section 2. Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of shareholders shall be
held on the first Monday in January of each year, if not a legal holiday, and if

whatever object, shall be convened (in the order shown, unless otherwise

(if any), or by the President, or by the officer who called the meeting by
notice as above provided; but it shall be presided over by the officers
specified elsewhere in these By-laws.
Section 7. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given
under the provisions of these By-laws, the Articles of Incorporation of the
corporation, or any law, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or
persons entitled to such notice, whether before, at, or after the time stated
therein, shall be deemed the equivalent of the giving of such notice. To the
extent provided by law, attendance at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of
notice of such meeting.
Section 8. Business Transacted at Annual Meetings. At each annual meeting
of the shareholders, the shareholders shall elect a Board of Directors to hold
office until the next succeeding annual meeting, or, in the case of a classified
Board of Directors, the shareholders shall elect Directors to fill those

Articles of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the voting shares issued
and outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of directors, whether

number of votes as may be specifically provided) for each share of stock
entitled to vote under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation which is
registered in his name on the books of the corporation; but in the election of
directors, cumulative voting shall prevail; that is to say, each shareholder
shall have the right to cast as many votes in the aggregate as shall equal the
number of voting shares so held by him, multiplied by the number of directors to
be elected at such election, and he may cast the whole number of such votes for
any one or more candidates. Directors shall not be elected at such election,

control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof
into his name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the

thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares transferred.

in whose names the shares are registered. If only one such person is present in

of determining a quorum. The foregoing provisions shall also apply to shares
held by two or more personal representatives, trustees, or other fiduciaries
unless the instrument or order appointing them otherwise directs.
Section 13. Registered Shareholders. The corporation shall be entitled to

share(s) on the part of any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or
association, whether or not the corporation shall have express or other notice
thereof, save as is otherwise expressly required by law, and the term
"shareholder" as used in these By-laws means one who is a holder of record of
shares of the corporation; provided, however, that if permitted by law:
Shares standing in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign,
may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the By-laws of such
corporation prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the Board of
Directors of such corporation may determine;
Shares standing in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his
administrator or person representative, either in person or by proxy; and

not affect the validity of any action taken at any such meeting.
Section 15. Removal of Directors. Except as otherwise provided the

affirmative vote to a majority of the outstanding shares then entitled to vote
for the election of directors at any regular meeting or special meeting
expressly called for that purpose, to remove any director from office with or
without cause. Such meeting shall be held at any place prescribed by law or at
any other place which may, under law, permissibly be, and which is, designated
in the notice of the special meeting. If cumulative voting applies to the
election of directors and if less than the entire Board is to be removed, no one
of the directors may be removed if the votes cast against his removal would be
sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire
Board of Directors.

until the Board otherwise provides, the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the
President and the Secretary, of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the
President and the Treasurer, shall have power to sign all such instruments for,
and on behalf of and in the name of the corporation, which are executed or made
in the ordinary course of the corporation's business.
Section 13. Duties of Officers May be Delegated. If any officer of the
corporation shall be absent or unable to act, or for any other reason the Board
may deem sufficient, the Board may delegate, for the time being ,some or all of
the functions, duties, powers and responsibilities of any officer to any other

responsible person, provided a majority of the then sitting Board concurs
therein.
ARTICLE VI
Shares of Stock
---------------
Section 1. Payment for Shares of Stock. The corporation shall not issue
shares of stock except for (i) money paid, (ii) labor done or services actually
received, or (iii) property actually received; provided, however, that shares
may also be issued, (iv) in consideration of the cancellation of valid bona fide
antecedent debts, (v) as stock dividends, (vi) pursuant to stock splits, reverse
stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications of outstanding shares into
shares of another class or classes, exchanges of outstanding shares for shares
of another class or classes, or (vii) other bona fide
By-Laws of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
Adopted January 24, 1994 Page 13
<PAGE>
changes respecting outstanding shares. No note or obligation given by any
shareholder, whether secured by deed of trust, mortgage or otherwise shall be
considered as payment of any part of any share or shares.
Section 2. Certificates for Shares of Stock. The certificates for shares
of stock of the corporation shall be numbered, shall be in such form as may be
prescribed by the Board of Directors in conformity with law, and shall be
entered in the stock books of the corporation as they are issued, and such
entries shall show the name and address of the person, firm, partnership,
corporation or association to whom each certificate is issued. Each certificate
shall have printed, typed or written thereon the name of the person, firm
partnership, corporation, or association to whom it is issued, and number of
shares represented thereby and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board (if
any) or the President or a Vice President, and the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation and
sealed with the seal of the corporation, which seal may be facsimile, engraved
or printed. If the corporation has a registrar, a transfer agent, or a transfer
clerk who actually signs such certificates, the signature of any of the other
officers above mentioned may be facsimile, engraved, or printed. In case any
such officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon
any such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such
certificate is issued, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the
corporation with the same effect as if such officer were an officer at the date
of its issue.
Section 3. Lost or Destroyed Certificates. In case of the loss or
destruction of any certificate for shares of stock of the corporation, upon due
proof of the registered owner thereof or his representative, by affidavit of
such loss or otherwise, the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President and
Secretary may issue a duplicate certificate or replacement certificate in its
place, upon the corporation being fully indemnified therefor. Any such officer
may request the posting of an indemnity bond in favor of the corporation
whenever and to the extent that they deem appropriate as a precondition to the
issuance of any duplicate or replacement certificate.
Section 4. Transfers of Shares, Transfer Agent, Registrar. Transfers of
shares of stock shall be made on the stock record or transfer books of the
corporation only by the person named in the stock certificate, or by his
attorney lawfully constituted in writing, and upon surrender of the certificate
therefor. The stock record book and other transfer records shall be in the
possession of the Secretary (or other person appointed and empowered by the
Board to do so) or of a transfer agent or clerk for the corporation. The
corporation, by resolution of the Board, may from time to time appoint a
transfer agent, and, if desired, a registrar, under such arrangements and upon
such terms and conditions as the Board deems advisable; but until and unless the
Board appoints some other person, firm or corporation as its transfer agent (and
upon the revocation of any such appointment, thereafter until a new appointment
is similarly made) the Secretary of the corporation (or other person appointed
and empowered by the Board) shall be the transfer agent or clerk of the
corporation, without the necessity of any formal action of the Board, and the
Secretary or other person shall perform all of the duties thereof.
Section 5. Closing of Transfer Books, Record Date. The Board of Directors
shall have the power to close the stock transfer books of the corporation for a
period not exceeding seventh days preceding the date of any meeting of the
shareholders, or the date for payment of any dividend, or the date for the
allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of
shares shall go into effect; provided, however, that in lieu of closing the
stock transfer books as aforesaid,
By-Laws of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
Adopted January 24, 1994 Page 14
<PAGE>
the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date not exceeding seventy days
preceding the date of any meeting of shareholders, or the date for the payment
of any dividend, or the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any
change or conversion or exchange of shares shall go into effect, as a record
date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to
vote at, the meeting or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment
of the dividends, or entitled to the allotment of rights, or entitled to
exercise the rights in respect of the change, conversion, or exchange of shares.
In such case, only the shareholders of record on the date of closing of the
transfer books or on the record date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice
of, and to vote at, the meeting, and any adjournment thereof, or to receive
payment of the dividend, or to receive the allotment of rights, or to exercise
the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on
the books of the corporation after the date of closing of the transfer books or
the record date fixed as aforesaid. If the Board of Directors does not close
the transfer books or set a record date for the determination of the
shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting, and any
adjournment of the meeting, the record date shall be the date that is twenty
days previous to the meeting; except that, if prior to the meeting written
waivers of notice of the meeting are signed and delivered to the corporation by
all of the shareholders of record at the time the meeting is convened, only the
shareholders who are shareholders of record at the time the meeting is convened
shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and at any adjournment of the meeting.
If the Board of Directors does not set a record date with respect to any
dividend, allotment of rights, or exercise of rights in respect to any dividend,
allotment of rights, or exercise of rights in respect of the change, conversion,
or exchange of shares, the record date for such purpose shall be the close of
business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution
relating thereto.
Section 6. Fractional Share Interests or Scrip. The corporation may issue
fractions of a share and it may issue a certificate for a fractional share, or
by action of the Board of Directors, the corporation may issue in lieu thereof
scrip or other evidence of ownership which shall entitled the holder to receive
a certificate for a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or other
evidence of ownership aggregating a full share. A certificate for a fractional
shares shall (but scrip or other evidence of ownership shall not, unless
otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors) entitle the holder
to all of the rights of a shareholder, including without limitation the right to
exercise any voting right, or to receive dividends thereon or to participate in
any of the assets of the corporation in the event of liquidation. The Board of
Directors may cause such scrip or evidence of ownership (other than a
certificate for a fractional share) to be issued subject to the condition that
it shall become void if not exchanged for share certificates before a specified
date, or subject to the condition that the shares for which such scrip or
evidence of ownership is exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the
proceeds thereof distributed to the holders of such scrip or evidence of
ownership, or subject to any other condition which the Board of Directors may
deem advisable.
ARTICLE VII
Indemnification
---------------
Section 1. Third Party Actions. The corporation shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or
officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorney
By-Laws of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
Adopted January 24, 1994 Page 15
<PAGE>
fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Section 2. Actions By or in the Right of the Corporation. The corporation
shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation, as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses,
including attorney fees and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to
the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought determines
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all
the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
Section 3. Indemnity if Successful. To the extent that a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation has been successful on the merits
or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in
Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, or
proceeding.
Section 4. Standard of Conduct. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and
2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation
only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances
because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article.
The determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote
of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit,
or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if
obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the shareholders by majority vote of
the shares eligible to vote for directors and actually voted, where shares held
by the individual about whom such indemnification is at issue shall not be
eligible to vote.
Section 5. Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the
final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the Board
of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of the director or officer to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be
determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in this Article.
By-Laws of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
Adopted January 24, 1994 Page 16
<PAGE>
Section 6. Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Article
shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, these By-
laws, or any agreement, vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, personal representatives, and administrators of such a person.
Section 7. Further Indemnity Permissible. The corporation shall have the
power to give further indemnity, in addition to the indemnity authorized or
contemplated under the various sections of this Article, including Section 6
thereof, to any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent, or
to any person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise, provided such further indemnity is either
(i) authorized, directed, or provided for in the Articles of Incorporation of
the corporation or a duly adopted amendment thereof or (ii) authorized,
directed, or provided for in these By-laws or in any agreement of the
corporation which has been adopted by the shareholders of the corporation, and
provided further that no such indemnity shall indemnify any person from or on
account of such person's conduct which has been finally adjudged to have been
knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest, or willful misconduct. Nothing in
this Section 7 shall be deemed to limit the power of the corporation under
Section 6 of this Article to enact By-laws or to enter into agreements without
shareholder adoption of the same.
Section 8. Insurance. The corporation shall have power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or
arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this
Article.
Section 9. Corporation. For the purpose of this Article, references to
"the corporation" include all constituent corporations absorbed in a
consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation so
that any person who is or was a director or officer of such a constituent
corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions
of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he
would if he had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same
capacity.
Section 10. Other Definitions. For purposes of this Article, the term
"other enterprise" shall include without limitation employee benefit plans; the
term "fines" shall include without limitation any exercise taxes assessed on a
person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and the term "serving at the
request of the corporation" shall include without limitation any service as a
director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation which imposes duties
on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with
respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a
person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation" as referred to in this Article.
By-Laws of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc.
Adopted January 24, 1994 Page 17
<PAGE>
Section 11. Indemnity for Agents and Employees. The corporation may, by
resolution duly adopted by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board
of Directors, grant such indemnity rights and reimbursement for such expenses as
it determines to be appropriate to any person who was or is a party to any
threatened, pending, or completed action or suit, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative, including any action by or in the right of the
corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent or
employee of the corporation, or is or was serving as an agent or employee, at
the request of the corporation, of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise. Any such grant of indemnification shall be
only to the extent so provided in the resolution granting indemnification, but
shall, in no event, be greater than the rights of indemnification and
reimbursement of expenses granted to directors and officers of this corporation.
ARTICLE VIII
General Provisions

surplus or a return of capital shall be made only when and in the manner
permitted by law.
Section 3. Creation of Reserves. Before the payment of any dividend,

provided, however, that such power shall be exercisable only by such number
or percentage of the Directors as is required by the Articles of
Incorporation, and if there is no such specific requirement, then by a
majority of the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Board of Directors shall not have the power to suspend, repeal, amend or
otherwise alter the By-laws or portion thereof enacted by the shareholders
if at the time of such enactment or thereafter the shareholders shall so

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-4
Dear Sirs:
In connection with a certain Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, you have requested that we furnish you our
opinion as to the legality of the shares of the common stock, $10.00 par value
(the "Common Stock"), of Mid-Missouri Holding Company, Inc. (the "Company")
registered thereunder, which Common Stock is to be issued pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated December 6, 1996,
as amended, among the Company, Bank of Sullivan and American Federal Savings &
Loan Association of Sullivan.
As counsel to the Company, we have participated in the preparation of the
Registration Statement. We have examined and are familiar with the Company's
Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws, records of corporate proceedings
and such other information and documents as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock has
been duly authorized and will, when issued as contemplated in the Registration
Statement and the Merger Agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and non-
assessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,

consolidate and restructure. Accordingly, the Board has approved the merger and
the charter amendment as being in the best interests of American Federal and its
stockholders and recommends that you vote in favor of the merger and the charter
amendment at the Special Meeting.
