                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


(1)   Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements of Hardin
         Bancorp,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  have been prepared in accordance with
         instructions  for Form  10-QSB.  To the  extent  that  information  and
         footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for
         complete  financial  statements are contained in the audited  financial
         statements  included in the Company's  Annual Report for the year ended
         March 31, 1999, such information and footnotes have not been duplicated
         herein. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,  consisting only
         of  normal  recurring  accruals,  which  are  necessary  for  the  fair
         presentation  of the interim  financial  statements have been included.
         The statement of earnings for the six-month  period ended September 30,
         1999  is not  necessarily  indicative  of  the  results,  which  may be
         expected for the entire year. The March 31, 1999  consolidated  balance
         sheet  has  been  derived  from  the  audited  consolidated   financial
         statements as of that date.

(2)   Earnings Per Share

         Basic earnings per share excludes  dilution and is computed by dividing
         income available to common  stockholders by the weighted average number
         of common shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted earnings per
         share  includes the effect of potential  dilutive  common shares (stock
         options) outstanding during the period.

         The shares used in the  calculation  of basic and diluted  earnings per
         share are shown below:

(3)   Comprehensive Income

         On  April  1,  1998  the  Company  adopted  SFAS  No.  130,  "Reporting
         Comprehensive  Income" which  requires the  reporting of  comprehensive
         income  and its  components.  Comprehensive  income is  defined  as the
         change in equity from  transactions and other events and  circumstances
         from non-owner sources and excludes investments by and distributions to
         owners.  Comprehensive  income  includes  net income and other items of
         comprehensive  income  meeting the above  criteria.  The Company's only
         component of other comprehensive income is the unrealized holding gains
         and losses on available-for-sale securities.

                      HARDIN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

GENERAL
- -------
Hardin  Bancorp,  Inc. (the  "Company") was  incorporated  under the laws of the
state of Delaware to become a savings bank holding  company with Hardin  Federal
Savings Bank (the "Bank") of Hardin,  Missouri,  as its subsidiary.  The holding
company was incorporated at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Bank,
and on September  28, 1995,  acquired all of the capital  stock of the Bank upon
its  conversion  from  mutual  to stock  form (the  "conversion").  Prior to the
conversion, the holding company did not engage in any material operations.

Hardin  Federal  Savings  Bank  was  originally  founded  in 1888 as a  Missouri
chartered savings and loan association located in Hardin, Missouri. On March 21,
1995, the Bank's members voted to convert the Bank to a Federal mutual  charter.
The Bank  conducts its business  through its main office in Hardin,  Ray County,
and two full  service  branch  offices  located in  Richmond,  Ray  County,  and
Excelsior Springs,  Clay County,  Missouri.  Deposits are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") to the maximum allowable.

The Bank is  principally  engaged in the business of attracting  retail  savings
deposits  from the general  public and investing  those funds in first  mortgage
loans on owner occupied, single-family residential loans, commercial real estate
loans,  mortgage-backed  securities,  U.S. Government and agency securities, and
insured interest bearing deposits.  The Bank also originates  consumer loans for
the purchase of automobiles, home improvement, and home equity lines of credit.

The most significant  outside factors influencing the operations of the Bank and
other financial institutions include general economic conditions, competition in
the local market place and the related  monetary and fiscal policies of agencies
that  regulate  financial  institutions.  More  specifically,  the cost of funds
primarily  consisting of insured  deposits is  influenced  by interest  rates on
competing  investments  and general  market  rates of  interest,  while  lending
activities  are  influenced  by the demand for real estate  financing  and other
types of loans,  which in turn is affected by the  interest  rates at which such
loans  may be  offered  and  other  factors  affecting  loan  demand  and  funds
availability.

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Savings  Association  Insurance Fund
(the "SAIF"),  which together with the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"),  are the
two insurance funds administered by the FDIC.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Consolidated  assets of Hardin Bancorp,  Inc. were  $135,778,283 as of September
30,  1999,  as  compared  to  $137,056,121,  on March 31,  1999,  a decrease  of
$1,277,838.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  a  decrease  in  investment
securities  and  interest-bearing  deposits  partially  offset by an increase in
loans.

Loans  receivable,  net,  increased to  $75,580,506  on September  30, 1999 from
$69,504,900  on March 31,  1999,  an  increase  of  $6,075,606.  Mortgage-backed
securities  decreased  $278,778 to  $12,305,641  on  September  30,  1999,  from
$12,584,419  on March 31, 1999. The decrease in  mortgage-backed  securities and
the increase in loans reflect the Bank's plan to increase the loan portfolio and
decrease mortgage-backed securities.
<PAGE>
Cash, interest bearing deposits and investment  securities  decreased $7,836,319
from  $49,513,885  on March 31, 1999, to  $41,677,566 on September 30, 1999. The
decrease was due to investment  funds being  utilized to repay FHLB advances and
originate mortgage and consumer loans.

Deposits totaled $84,078,752 on September 30, 1999, an increase of $751,881 from
$83,326,871  on March 31, 1999.  The increase in deposits was primarily due to a
successful  special  certificate  of  deposit  promotion  and  the  Bank's  high
performance checking account program.

Stockholders'  equity  was  $12,140,348  on  September  30,  1999,  compared  to
$12,559,541 on March 31, 1999. The change in stockholders' equity was the result
of an  increase  in the  unrealized  loss  on  investment  securities  due to an
increase  in  interest  rates,  which  causes  the  market  value of fixed  rate
securities to decline.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Net earnings for the Company's  quarter  ended  September 30, 1999 were $336,126
compared to $244,111 for the comparable quarter in 1998. The increase was due to
an  increase  in net  interest  income  after  provision  for loan losses and an
increase  in total  non-interest  income,  which  was  partially  offset,  by an
increase in total non-interest expense.

Basic earnings per share for the quarter ended  September 30, 1999 was $0.49 per
share while diluted  earnings per share was $0.47.  Basic earnings per share for
the quarter ended  September 30, 1999 were  calculated  based on 689,886 average
shares  outstanding  and diluted  earnings  per share were  calculated  based on
714,501 average shares outstanding.  Basic earnings per share for the comparable
quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $0.32 per share while diluted  earnings per
share was $0.31.  Basic  earnings per share for the quarter ended  September 30,
1998 were  calculated  based on 761,216  average shares  outstanding and diluted
earnings per share were calculated based on 791,932 average shares outstanding.

Net interest income after provision for loan losses was $952,155 for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1999  compared to $745,546 for the quarter ended  September
30, 1998, an increase of $206,609.  This increase was a result of total interest
income  increasing  $84,230 from  $2,290,769 in 1998 to $2,374,999 in 1999 while
total interest expense decreased  $106,179 from $1,529,023 in 1998 to $1,422,844
in 1999.  The  increase in total  interest  income was due to an increase in the
average yield on interest  earning  assets while the decrease in total  interest
expense was a result of a decrease in the average cost of deposits.

Total  non-interest  income  increased  from  $254,416  for  the  quarter  ended
September  30, 1998 to $263,846 for the quarter ended  September  30, 1999.  The
increase was primarily due to higher service charge income and other income from
the Bank's service corporation  partially offset by gains on sales of investment
securities recognized in 1998.

The Company's  total  non-interest  expense for the three months ended September
30, 1999 was $721,955  compared to $618,665 for the comparable  quarter in 1998.
The  increase  was  primarily  due to  increases  in  compensation  and benefits
expense,  occupancy and equipment expense,  data processing  expense,  and other
expense related to Year 2000 compliance issues.

Net earnings for the six months ended September 30, 1999, were $605,543 compared
to  $429,749  for the six months  ended  September  30,  1998,  an  increase  of
$175,794. The increase was primarily due to increases in net interest income and
non-interest  income,  partially  offset,  by an increase in total  non-interest
expense.

Net  interest  income after  provision  for loan losses for the six month period
ended September 30, 1999 was $1,864,875 compared to $1,517,132 for the six month
period ended  September 30, 1998, an increase of $347,743.  The increase was due
to an increase in the Bank's net interest margin.

Non-interest  income for the six months ended  September 30, 1999,  was $450,489
compared to $384,491  for the six month  period a year  earlier,  an increase of
$65,998.  The  increase  was due to an  increase  in service  charges  and other
non-interest income offset by gains on sales of investment securities in 1998.

The Company's  non-interest  expense for the six months ended September 30, 1999
was  $1,402,911,  compared to $1,232,095 for the six months ended  September 30,
1998,  an  increase  of  $170,816.  The  increase  was  due  to an  increase  in
compensation  and benefits,  occupancy and equipment  expense,  data  processing
expense and other non-interest expense related to Year 2000 issues.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------

For the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999 the  Company did not record a
provision  for loan  losses  in  accordance  with its  classification  of assets
policy.  The Company's loan portfolio  consists  primarily of one to four family
loans, and has experienced minimal charge-offs in the past two years.

At September 30, 1999,  the Bank's  allowance  for loan losses was $308,155,  or
117% of non-performing  assets compared to $311,196,  or 135% at March 31, 1999.
The  allowance  for loan losses was .41% of total loans at  September  30, 1999,
compared to .45% at March 31, 1999.

At September 30, 1999,  non-performing assets were $263,594 compared to $231,000
at March 31, 1999.  Loans are considered  non-performing  when the collection of
principal  and/or  interest is not probable,  or in the event  payments are more
than 90 days  delinquent.

                                       8
<PAGE>
Management  will  continue  to monitor  its  allowance  for loan losses and make
additions to the  allowance  through the  provision  for loan losses as economic
conditions dictate. Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses
at a level  considered  to be adequate,  there can be no  assurance  that future
losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional  provisions for loan
losses will not be required in the future.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------

The Bank is subject to three capital to asset  requirements  in accordance  with
Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS")  regulations.  The following table is a
summary of the Bank's regulatory capital  requirements  versus actual capital at
September 30, 1999.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------

The Bank's  principal  sources of funds are  deposits,  principal  and  interest
payments  on loans,  deposits  in other  insured  institutions,  and  investment
securities.  While  scheduled  loan  repayments  and  maturing  investments  are
relatively  predictable,   deposit  flows  and  early  loan  payments  are  more
influenced by interest  rates,  general  economic  conditions  and  competition.
Additional  sources of funds may be obtained from the FHLB by utilizing numerous
available products to meet funding needs.

The Bank is required to maintain  minimum  levels of liquid assets as defined by
regulations.   The  required   percentage  is  currently  four  percent  of  net
withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or
less.  The Bank has  maintained  its  liquidity  ratio at levels  exceeding  the
minimum  requirement.  The eligible  liquidity  ratio at September  30, 1999 was
53.69%.

In light of the  competition  for  deposits,  the Bank may  utilize  the funding
sources of the FHLB to meet loan  demand in  accordance  with the Bank's  growth
plans.  The wholesale  funding sources may allow the Bank to obtain a lower cost
of funding and create a more efficient  liability match to the respective assets
being funded.

For purposes of the cash flows,  all short-term  investments  with a maturity of
three months or less at the date of purchase are  considered  cash  equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents for the periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were
$2,577,947 and  $10,546,795  respectively.  The decrease was primarily due to an
increase in net cash used in financing activities.
<PAGE>
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased from $11,298,457 for the six
months ended  September  30, 1998  compared to  ($1,208,345)  for the six months
ended  September  30,  1999.  The  decrease in net cash  provided  by  financing
activities   was  due  to  repayments  of  FHLB  advances  and  a  reduction  in
available-for-sale securities.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
- ------------------------------

In June of 1999, the Financial  Accounting  Standards board issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB  Statement No. 133." This statement  amends SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,  " to defer its
effective  date.  SFAS No. 137 is effective  for all fiscal  quarters  beginning
after June 15, 2000,  however the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 133
at July 1,  1998  and  utilized  an  option  to  transfer  its  held-to-maturity
investment security portfolio to available-for-sale. Accordingly, all unrealized
gains and losses  were  recorded  at that date.  The  Company  does not have any
financial instruments  considered to be derivatives under the provisions of SFAS
No. 133.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
- --------------------

The Company utilizes and is dependent upon data processing  systems and software
to conduct its business.  The data processing systems and software include those
developed and maintained by the Company's data processor and purchased

                                       9
<PAGE>
software  which is run on  in-house  computer  networks.  In 1997,  the  Company
initiated a review and  assessment  of all hardware and software to confirm that
it will  function  properly  in the year 2000.  The  Company  has  replaced  its
computer  hardware with Year 2000 compliant  equipment and updated software with
Year 2000 compliant  versions.  The primary service  provider for the Company is
Fiserv,  Inc., Des Moines, Iowa. Fiserv has provided the Company with proxy test
results indicating Year 2000 compliance. A specific connectivity was tested with
Fiserv in March 1999.  Third party vendors have  identified Year 2000 issues and
are completing revisions to systems and software to become Year 2000 compliant.

Security  systems,  heating and cooling systems and other mechanical  devices on
which the Company relies have been evaluated.

The approximate cost incurred by the Company to date for Year 2000 compliance is
$83,000. Other expenses, if incurred, are expected to be minimal.

The Company is substantially  dependent on its computer systems and the computer
system of its data  processor.  Failure of the data center  would have a serious
impact on the  operation of the Company and could result in an  interruption  of
service to customers, as well as an adverse financial impact on the Company. The
worse case scenario  might be, (1) loss of customers due to decreased  levels of
customer service or loss of utilities,  (2) large withdrawal  requests  creating
deposit  outflows,  (3) increased  employee  expense if extra staff is needed to
perform data processing.

The  Company  has  prepared a  contingency/business  resumption  plan to provide
contingencies for possible serious failures of the Company's hardware,  software
or vendor's  systems.  The plan  addresses  recovery  procedures  for  potential
failures  in the  event of a Year 2000  disruption.  The  Company  has taken the
necessary steps to validate and test its contingency/business resumption plan in
order to minimize the impact on operations should there be system failures.
