                   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 nine-month  period ended December 31,
         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.

                      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 $134,626,188 as of December 31,
1999, as compared to $137,056,121,  on March 31, 1999, a decrease of $2,429,933.
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  $75,655,320  on December  31, 1999 from
$69,504,900  on March 31,  1999,  an  increase  of  $6,150,420.  Mortgage-backed
securities  decreased  $909,566  to  $11,674,853  on  December  31,  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 $8,555,684
from  $49,513,885  on March 31, 1999, to  $40,958,201  on December 31, 1999. The
decrease was due to investment  funds being  utilized to repay FHLB advances and
originate mortgage and consumer loans.

Deposits  totaled  $85,367,822  on December 31, 1999,  an increase of $2,040,951
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  $11,854,943  on  December  31,  1999,  compared  to
$12,559,541  on March 31,  1999.  The decrease in  stockholders'  equity was the
result of an increase in the unrealized loss on investment  securities offset by
the  increase  in retained  earnings  and by a  reduction  in unearned  employee
benefits.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net earnings for the  Company's  quarter  ended  December 31, 1999 were $350,654
compared to $399,842 for the comparable  quarter in 1998.  The relatively  small
decrease in earnings  was  primarily  due to a reduction in the gain on sales of
loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities,  offset by an increase in net
interest income after provision for loan losses.

Basic  earnings  per share for the quarter  ended  December  31, 1999 were $0.51
while diluted  earnings per share were $0.49.  Basic  earnings per share for the
quarter ended December 31, 1999 were calculated  based on 689,516 average shares
outstanding  and diluted  earnings  per share were  calculated  based on 711,540
average shares outstanding.  Basic earnings per share for the comparable quarter
ended December 31, 1998 were $0.58 while diluted  earnings per share were $0.55.
Basic earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 were calculated
based on 691,546 average shares  outstanding and diluted earnings per share were
calculated based on 722,379 average shares outstanding.

Net  interest  income after  provision  for loan losses was  $1,021,975  for the
quarter  ended  December  31, 1999  compared to $699,691  for the quarter  ended
December 31, 1998, an increase of $322,284.  This increase was a result of total
interest  income  increasing  $232,628 from  $2,217,608 in 1998 to $2,450,236 in
1999 while total interest expense  decreased  $70,856 from $1,499,117 in 1998 to
$1,428,261 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 decreased from $571,805 for the quarter ended December
31, 1998 to $227,504 for the quarter ended  December 31, 1999.  The decrease was
primarily  due to a  reduction  in gains on the sale of loans,  investments  and
mortgage-backed securities.

The Company's total non-interest expense for the three months ended December 31,
1999 was $717,622  compared to $643,770 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.
<PAGE>

Net earnings for the nine months ended December 31, 1999, were $956,197 compared
to  $829,591  for the nine  months  ended  December  31,  1998,  an  increase of
$126,606.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in net interest income,
partially  offset by a reduction in the gain on sale of loans,  investments  and
mortgage-backed securities and by an increase in total non-interest expense.

Basic  earnings per share for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 were $1.39
while diluted  earnings per share were $1.34.  Basic earnings per share for nine
months ended December 31, 1999 were  calculated  based on 690,093 average shares
outstanding  and diluted  earnings  per share were  calculated  based on 714,492
average shares  outstanding.  Basic earnings per share for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 were $1.12 while diluted earnings per share were $1.07.  Basic
earnings  per  share  for the  similar  period  ended  December  31,  1998  were
calculated based on 738,664 average shares  outstanding and diluted earnings per
share were calculated based on 771,723 average shares outstanding.

Net interest  income after  provision  for loan losses for the nine month period
ended December 31, 1999 was $2,886,650 compared to $2,216,823 for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $670,027. The increase was due to
an increase in the Bank's net interest margin as total interest income increased
$427,801, while total interest expense decreased $193,523. The increase in total
interest income was due to an increase in loans receivable,  net and an increase
in the  average  yield on  investments,  while the  decrease  in total  interest
expense was a result of growth in lower costing transaction accounts.

Non-interest  income for the nine months ended  December 31, 1999,  was $677,993
compared to $956,296  for the nine month  period a year  earlier,  a decrease of
$278,303.  The  decrease was  primarily  due to a reduction in gains on sales of
loans,  investments and  mortgage-backed  securities.  Other non-interest income
increased by $100,381 primarily due as a result of increased income generated by
the Bank's service corporation and a life insurance benefit.

The Company's  non-interest  expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1999
was  $2,120,533,  compared to $1,875,865  for the nine months ended December 31,
1998,  an  increase  of  $244,668.  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.  The
approximate  cost incurred by the Company to date for Year 2000  compliance  was
$83,000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

For the three  months  ended  December  31,  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 December 31, 1999, the Bank's allowance for loan losses was $306,859, or 141%
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 December 31, 1999, compared
to .45% at March 31, 1999.

At December 31, 1999,  non-performing  assets were $217,668 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.
<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
December 31, 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 December  31, 1999 was
27.13%.

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 December 31, 1999 and 1998 were
$3,555,392 and  $5,363,601,  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 $8,263,738 for the nine
months ended  December  31, 1998  compared to  ($2,213,228)  for the nine months
ended  December  31,  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 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

Hardin Bancorp,  Inc. had a successful  transition to year 2000 processing.  The
Company  will  continue to monitor all  processing  to ensure that no Y2K issues
arise in the future.  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 in the future.
