1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with
the requirements for interim  financial  statements  contained in SEC regulation
S-X and,  accordingly,  do not include all information and disclosures necessary
to present financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Landmark
Bancshares,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary  Landmark
Federal  Savings  Bank  (the  "Bank")  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.  However, all normal recurring adjustments have been made
which, in the opinion of management,  are necessary for the fair presentation of
the financial statements.

The  results  of  operation  for the six  months  ended  March 31,  2001 are not
necessarily  indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year
ending September 30, 2001.

2.       LIQUIDATION ACCOUNT

On March 28, 1994, the Bank  segregated  and restricted  $15,144,357 of retained
earnings in a liquidation  account for the benefit of eligible  savings  account
holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the bank after the conversion
of the bank from mutual to stock form. In the event of a complete liquidation of
the Bank, and only in such event,  each eligible account holder will be entitled
to  receive  a  distribution   from  the   liquidation   account  in  an  amount
proportionate to the current adjusted  balances of all qualifying  deposits then
held. The liquidation  account will be reduced annually at September 30th to the
extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits.

6.       FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with  off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal  course of business to meet the  financial  needs of its customers and to
reduce its own  exposure  to  fluctuations  in  interest  rates.  The  financial
instruments  include commitments to extend credit and commitments to sell loans.
The instruments  involve,  to varying  degrees,  elements of credit and interest
rate risk in excess of the  amount  recognized  in the  statement  of  financial
condition. The contract, or notional amounts of those instruments,  reflects the
extent  of  involvement  the  Bank  has  in  particular   classes  of  financial
instruments.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of  non-performance by the other
party to the financial  instrument  for loan  commitments  is represented by the
contractual  or  notional  amount of those  instruments.  The Bank uses the same
credit  policies  in  making   commitments  as  it  does  for   on-balance-sheet
instruments.

On March 31,  2001,  the Bank had  outstanding  commitments  to fund real estate
loans of $1,845,106.  Of the commitments outstanding,  $1,648,731 were for fixed
rate loans at rates of 6.850% to 9.500%.  Commitments  for adjustable rate loans
amounted to $196,375  with initial rates of 6.875% to 7.125%.  Outstanding  loan
commitments  to  sell as of  March  31,  2001  were  $1,721,566.  The  Bank  had
outstanding  commercial  loan  commitments  of $2,430,000  with initial rates of
8.000% to 9.000%, at March 31, 2001.

7.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic  earnings  per share (EPS) is computed by  dividing  income  available  to
common stockholders by the weighted-average  number of common shares outstanding
for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if  securities or other  contracts to issue common stock  (potential
common stock) were exercised or converted to common stock. For periods presented
potential  common stock includes  outstanding  stock options and nonvested stock
awarded under the management stock bonus plan.

Earnings  per share for the six  months  ended  March  31,  2001 and 2000,  were
determined as follows:

8.       DIVIDENDS

At the Company's  January 17, 2001 board  meeting,  the Directors of the Company
declared a $0.15 per share dividend.  The dividend was paid February 15, 2001 to
all stockholders of record as of February 1, 2001.


9.       CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITY

In June 1998,  FASB issued SFAS No. 133,  Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and  Hedging  Activities.   This  statement  requires  the  recognition  of  all
derivative  financial  instruments  as  either  assets  or  liabilities  in  the
statement of financial  position and  measurement  of those  instruments at fair
value.  The accounting for gains and losses  associated with changes in the fair
value of a derivative and the effect on the  consolidated  financial  statements
will depend on its hedge  designation and whether the hedge is highly  effective
in achieving  offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the asset or
liability  hedged.  Management  of the Company  adopted the  provisions  of this
statement beginning October 1, 2000.

As permitted by SFAS No. 133, on October 1, 2000, the Company transferred all of
its securities from the held-to-maturity portfolio to the available-for-sale and
trading portfolios as follows:

change in  accounting  principle,  net of tax benefits.  Future  changes in fair

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                 ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Landmark  Bancshares,  Inc. (the "Registrant" or the "Company") may from time to
time make written or oral  "forward-looking  statements",  including  statements
contained in the Company's  filings with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
(including the reports on Form 10-K, and 10-Q and the exhibits thereto),  in its
reports to stockholders and in other  communications  by the Company,  which are
made in good faith by the Company  pursuant to the "Safe  harbor"  provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These  forward-looking  statements  involve  risks  and  uncertainties,  such as
statements  of the  Company's  plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and
intentions,  that are subject to change based on various important factors (some
of which are beyond the Company's control). The following factors, among others,
could cause the Company's  financial  performance to differ  materially from the
plans,  objectives,  expectations,  estimates and  intentions  expressed in such
forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general
and  the  strength  of  the  local  economies  in  which  the  Company  conducts
operations;  the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies
and laws,  including  interest  rate  policies of the Board of  Governors of the
Federal  Reserve  System,   inflation,   interest  rate,   market  and  monetary
fluctuations;  the timely  development  of and  acceptance  of new  products and
services of the Company and the perceived  overall  value of these  products and
services by users,  including  the  features,  pricing  and quality  compared to
competitors'  products  and  services;  the  success  of the  Company in gaining
regulatory approval of its products and services,  when required;  the impact of
changes in financial  services' laws and regulations  (including laws concerning
taxes, banking,  securities and insurance);  technological  changes;  changes in
consumer spending and savings habits; and the success of the Company at managing
these risks.

The Company cautions that this list of important  factors is not exclusive.  The
company does not  undertake  to update any  forward-looking  statement,  whether
written  or oral,  that may be made  from  time to time by or on  behalf  of the
Company.

This commentary is based on the assumption the reader of the form 10-Q has read,
or has access to Managements'  Discussion and Analysis,  MD&A, for the preceding
fiscal year-end September 30, 2000 filed in form 10-K. The results for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results that
may be  expected  for the final  year  ending  September  30,  2001 or any other
period.


General:

Landmark  Bancshares,  Inc.  ("Company")  is the holding  company  for  Landmark
Federal  Savings  Bank  ("Bank").  Apart from the  operations  of the Bank,  the
Company did not engage in any  significant  operations  during the quarter ended
March 31,  2001.  The Bank is  engaged  in the  business  of  accepting  deposit
accounts  from the general  public.  These funds are used to originate  mortgage
loans for the purchase and refinancing of single-family homes located in Central

necessary.  The Bank also makes automobile  loans,  second mortgage loans,  home
equity loans, savings deposit loans, and small business loans.

The impact to earnings  resulted in a loss of $214,553 that was recorded against
current  operations  as of October 1, 2000,  as a cumulative  adjustment  from a
change in accounting principle, net of tax benefits.

All  securities,  $9,642,188,  transferred  to the trading  portfolio  were sold
between  October 1 and  December 31, 2000.  The pretax  profit was $43,618.  The
proceeds  were used to repay  borrowings  from  Federal  Home Loan Bank and fund
current operations.

During the  quarter  ended  December  31, 2000 the  Company  sold  approximately
$16,148,425 of longer term fixed rate loans at a pretax profit of $318,730.  The
proceeds  were used to repay  borrowings  from  Federal  Home Loan Bank and fund
current operations.

The sales of the investments and fixed rate loans noted above,  were elements of
the  Company's  Interest  Rate  Risk  Reduction  Plan.  The  Interest  Rate Risk
Reduction  Plan is designed to lessen the affects of changing  interest rates on
the Company's assets and liabilities.

Improved   market   conditions   permitted   the  Company  to  dispose  of  some
available-for sale assets during the quarter.

During the quarter  $17,945,036  of loans  receivable  were exchanged for a like
dollar amount of mortgage-backed securities issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation,  commonly known as, "Freddie Mac." The  participation  certificates
are traded daily.  This allows  management  to take  advantage of changes in the
market more quickly as opposed to selling  loans  directly to the market.  Other
changes to Loans Receivable  reflect  repayment of loans in the normal course of
business.

Mortgaged-backed  securities  increased  $17,945,036  as noted in the  preceding
paragraph.  Approximately  $3,000,000 of these  securities  were sold during the
quarter.  The proceeds were used to repay borrowings from Federal Home Loan Bank
and fund current operations. The additional decreases reflect principal payments
in the normal course of business.

Liabilities  decreased  from  December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001 by $7 million.
Components of this change are:

Deposits decreased  primarily due to maturing deposits being withdrawn by public
entities.

Advances from FHLB (Federal Home Loan Bank)  decreased from December 31, 2000 to
March 31, 2001, from repayments funded by sales of mortgage-backed securities.

Results of operations:  comparison  between the three and six months ended March
31, 2001 and 2000:

Three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000:

Total  interest  income  decreased  $188,635,  or 4%.  Interest and dividends on
investment securities decreased $182,649, or 28%, due to the sales of investment
securities previously discussed.

Total interest expense  decreased  $79,611,  or 3%. Interest expense on deposits
increased  $146,778,  or 8%. The increase is due  primarily  to higher  interest
rates paid to  depositors.  The higher  interest  rates  paid were  required  to
attract and retain  deposits in the local market.  Although  interest rates have
decreased the first quarter of calendar  2001, the effect of the decrease is not
available to reduce expense until maturing deposits are reinvested with the Bank
at current lower interest  rates.  Interest  expense on borrowed funds decreased
$226,389,  or 26% due to  repayment  of  principal on loans to Federal Home Loan
Bank previously discussed and declining interest rates on short-term  borrowings
from Federal Home Loan Bank.

Provision  for loan losses  decreased  $50,000,  or 53%. At  September  30, 2000
management  conducted a complete review of its reserves for losses and concluded
reserves were adequate in relation to loan balances. Management believes current
additions  to the  reserves of $45,000 for the quarter is  adequate.  Management
continues to closely monitor the loan portfolios for potential write-downs.

Net  interest  income  after  provision  for losses  decreased  $59,204,  or 4%.
Components of the decrease for the three months ended March 31, are:

Six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000:

Refer to note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements that discusses
a change in accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Total interest  income  decreased  $183,223,  or 2%. Interest on loans increased
$208,716,  or 3%,  primarily due to higher loan balances prior to sales of loans
and exchange of loans previously discussed. Interest and dividends on investment
securities decreased $324,309, or 24%, due to the sales of investment securities
previously discussed.

Total interest expense increased  $208,423,  or 4%. Interest expense on deposits
increased  $465,598,  or 13%. The increase is due  primarily to higher  interest

The Bank manages its  liquidity to meet its funding  needs,  including:  deposit
outflows,  disbursement  of  payments  collected  from  borrowers  for taxes and
insurance, and loan principal disbursements. The Bank also manages its liquidity
to meet its asset/liability management objectives.

In addition to funds provided from  operations,  the Bank's  primary  sources of
funds are: savings deposits,  principal  repayments on loans and mortgage-backed
securities,  and matured or called investment securities.  In addition, the Bank
may borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka.

Scheduled loan  repayments and maturing  investment  securities are a relatively
predictable source of funds.  However,  savings deposit flows and prepayments on
loans and mortgage-backed  securities are significantly influenced by changes in
market interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  The Bank strives to
manage the pricing of its  deposits to maintain a balanced  stream of cash flows
commensurate with its loan commitments.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital  requirements  administered by
federal banking agencies.  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.

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 core and tangible  capital (as defined in  regulations)  to assets (as
defined)  and core  and  total  capital  to risk  weight  assets  (as  defined).
Management  believes,  as of March 31,  2001,  that the Bank  meets all  capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

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



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

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

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

Utilizing  the data above,  the Bank,  at  December  31,  2000,  would have been
considered by the OTS to have been subject to "above normal" interest rate risk.
Accordingly,  a deduction  from  risk-based  capital  would have been  required.
However,  even with this  deduction,  the capital of the Bank would  continue to
exceed all regulatory requirements.

Set forth below is a breakout,  by basis points of the Bank's NPV as of December
31, 2000 (latest information available) by assets, liabilities,  and off balance

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

                                       20


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

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

                  Events Subsequent to March 31, 2001:

                  April 21, 2001 the Bank's Hoisington Branch Office was damaged
                  by a tornado.  The estimated  costs to repair the building are
                  $40,000 to $50,000.  The building is valued at $80,000.  Costs
                  to repair the building  are covered by  insurance  less a $250
                  deductible.  The Bank is also  insured  for loss of income and
                  related costs  incurred by the Bank during the time period the
                  branch is being repaired.  The Bank has another branch located
                  approximately 10 miles from the Hoisington Branch. This branch
                  has assumed  responsibility  for the day-to-day  operations of
                  the Hoisington  Branch.  Repairs are estimated to be completed
                  June 15,  2001.  Management  does not believe  this event will
                  have a material  effect upon the earnings of the Bank,  or the
                  Company.

                  On April 19, 2001 the Company  filed a current  report on Form
                  8-K with the Securities  Exchange  Commission.  The purpose of
                  the  filing  was to  disclose  the  possible  merger of equals
