                         MID CONTINENT BANCSHARES, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.      PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Mid  Continent
Bancshares, Inc., (the Company), and its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Mid-Continent
Federal Savings Bank (the Bank) and its subsidiary,  Laredo Investment, Inc. All
significant  intercompany  accounts and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
consolidation.

2.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, the consolidated  statements
of  income  for the  three  and  nine  months  ended  June 30,  1995  and  1996,
stockholders'  equity for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and cash flows for
the nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, and therefore do not include  information or footnotes  necessary
for a complete  presentation of  consolidated  financial  condition,  results of
operations,  and cash flows in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read
in  conjunction  with the  September  30, 1995  financial  statements  and notes
thereto  included  in the  Annual  Report  of the  Company.  In the  opinion  of
management,  all adjustments  (consisting on only normal recurring  adjustments)
necessary for the fair  presentation of the  consolidated  financial  statements
have been  included.  The  results of  operations  for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results which may be
expected for the entire year.

3.      DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

On June 27,  1996 the  Company  declared  a $0.10 per  share  cash  dividend  to
shareholders of record on July 11, 1996. The dividend was paid on July 25, 1996.

4.      NEW STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 1993, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment  of a Loan"  and in  October  1994,  SFAS  No.  118,  "Accounting  by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan Income  Recognition  and  Disclosures"  which
became  effective for the Company  beginning  October 1, 1995.  These statements
require a lender to consider a loan to be impaired if the lender  believes it is
probable  that it will be unable to  collect  all  principal  and  interest  due
according  to the  contractual  terms of the loan.  If a loan is  impaired,  the
lender is required  to record a loss  valuation  allowance  equal to the present
value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate
or  based  on the  loan's  observable  market  price  or the  fair  value of the

                                       9


collateral  if the loan is  collateral  dependent.  The  implementation  of this
statement did not have a material effect on the Company.

In March  1995,  FASB issued SFAS No. 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be  Disposed  Of",  which will
become  effective  for the Company  beginning  October 1, 1996.  This  Statement
established  accounting  standards  for the  impairment  of  long-lived  assets,
certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held
and used and for long-lived  assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles to be
disposed  of.  The  Statement   requires  that  long-lived  assets  and  certain
identifiable  intangibles  to be held  and used by an  entity  be  reviewed  for
impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing the review for
recoverability,  the entity  should  estimate the future cash flows  expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the
undiscounted  cash  flows is less  than the  carrying  amount of the  asset,  an
impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to the fair value of
the asset.  Generally,  long-lived assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles
that are to be  disposed  of should  be  reported  at the lower of the  carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell.  The Company does not  anticipate  that
the  implementation  of  this  statement  will  have a  material  impact  on the
consolidated financial statements.

In October  1995,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No. 123,  Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation,  which will become effective for the Company  beginning October 1,
1996. SFAS No. 123 will require  increased  disclosure of  compensation  expense
arising from both fixed and performance stock  compensation  plans. Such expense
will be measured as the fair value of the award at the date it is granted  using
an option-pricing  model that takes into account the exercise price and expected
volatility,  expected  dividends on the stock and the expected risk-free rate of
return during the term of the option.  The compensation cost would be recognized
over the service  period,  usually the period from the grant date to the vesting
date.  SFAS No. 123 encourages,  rather than requires,  companies to adopt a new
method that accounts for stock compensation awards based on their estimated fair
value at the date they are granted.  Companies would be permitted,  however,  to
continue  accounting under  Accounting  Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25.
The  Company  will  continue  to apply APB  Opinion  No.  25 in their  financial
statements  and will be required to disclose  pro forma net income and  earnings
per share in a footnote in the Company's  1996 annual  report,  determined as if
the Company had applied the new method.

In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No.  125,  "Accounting  for Transfers and
servicing of Financial Assets and  Extinquishments  of Liabilities",  which will
become  effective for the Company for tranfers and servicing of financial assets
and  extinguishments  of liabilities  occurring  after  December 31, 1996.  This
Statement  supersedes SFAS No. 122,  "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights".
For each  servicing  contract in existence  before  January 1, 1997,  previously
recognized  servicing  rights and  "excess  servicing"  receivables  that do not
exceed  contractually  specified  servicing  fees shall be combined,  net of any
previously  recognized servicing obligations under that contract, as a servicing
asset or liability.  Previously  recognized  servicing  receivables  that exceed
contractually  specified  servicing fees shall be reclassified as  interest-only
strips.  The  Statement  provides  that  servicing  assets  and  other  retained
interests in transferred  assets be measured by allocating the previous carrying
amount between the assets sold, if any, and retained interests, if any, based on
their relative fair values at the date of the transfer, and servicing assets and
liabilities be  subsequently  measured by (1)  amortization in proportion to and
over the period of estimated net servicing  income or loss,  and (2)  assessment
for asset  impairment or increased  obligation  based on their fair values.  The
Company does not anticipate that the  implementation of this statement will have
a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

7.      CONTINGENCIES

Supreme Court Ruling on Breach of Contract Regarding Supervisory Goodwill:
Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Mid Continent
Bancshares,  Inc.,  is pursuing  its claim  against the  federal  government  to
recover funds lost as a result of the  enactment of the  Financial  Institutions
Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA").  In 1986, the Bank was
encouraged by the federal  government to acquire an insolvent thrift institution
("Reserve Savings and Loan  Association").  The federal  government  allowed the
Bank to  count  the  insolvent  thrift's  losses  as  "goodwill"  assets  and to
double-count as "capital  credit" federal  government funds provided to help the
Bank take over the failing thrift. The Bank contends (among other things) in its
law suit that the federal  government  breached its contract  with the Bank when
FIRREA was enacted  because FIRREA  prevented the Bank from counting such assets
toward minimum capital requirements.  As a result of FIRREA, the Bank was forced
to write off approximately  $7,500,000 in supervisory  goodwill.  This write off
reduced the Bank's regulatory capital.

On July 1, 1996, the United States Supreme Court Affirmed decisions by a federal
appellate  court that the government had breached  express  contracts with three
thrifts  (U.S.  v. Winstar  Corp,  et al.) and therefore was liable for damages.
Those lawsuits stemmed from circumstances that are similar to those of the Bank;
in  order  to  persuade  those  thrifts  to  acquire  certain  insolvent  thrift
institutions,  the federal government promised  accounting  treatment similar to
that promised to the Bank.

While the Supreme  Court's  ruling in U.S. v. Winstar  Corp,  et al.,  serves to
support the Bank's  legal  claims in its  pending  law suit  against the federal
government,  it is not  possible at this time to predict what effect the Supreme
Court's ruling, and subsequent rulings of a lower court concerning damages, will
have on the outcome of the Bank's lawsuit.  Notwithstanding  the 
  
                                     13


Supreme Court's ruling,  there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to
recover any funds  arising out of its claim and,  if any  recovery is made,  the
amount of such recovery.

Insurance of Deposits Accounts:
Due to a disparity in the  capitalization  of federal deposit  insurance  funds,
effective January 1, 1996 the FDIC lowered the annual insurance premium for most
members of the Bank  Insurance  Fund  ("BIF") to $2,000  while  maintaining  the
current  range of between  0.23% and 0.31% of  deposits  for  members of Savings
Association  Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  These insurance  premiums for BIF members
could  place  SAIF  members,  such  as  the  Bank,  at  a  material  competitive
disadvantage to BIF members.  Proposals under  consideration for addressing this
disparity include a possible  one-time  assessment on deposits of 0.80% to 0.85%
on SAIF members,  sufficient to recapitalize SAIF to a level that would approach
that of BIF.  While there can be no  assurance  that this or any other  proposal
will be  effected,  a one-time  assessment  could have an adverse  impact on the
Bank's results of operations. Based on outstanding deposits as of March 31, 1995
(the proposed  assessment  date),  the assessment could result in expense to the
Bank of approximately $1,000,000 to $1,300,000 on a pre-tax basis.

In connection with the  consideration of the BIF/SAIF  disparity,  various bills
have been  introduced in congress  which would call for eventual  combination of
the  insurance  funds and would  address  the tax  deductibility  of a  proposed
one-time assessment.  Certain bills introduced call for conversion of the thrift
charter into a bank charter. The tax impact of elimination of the thrift charter
could be  significant  if it resulted  in  recapture  of  existing  tax bad debt
reserves.  Under current proposals,  the recapture of bad debt reserves will not
have a significant  impact on the financial  statements since it only applies to
tax reserves  established  after 1987, for which deferred tax  liabilities  have
been established.

GENERAL

Mid Continent  Bancshares,  Inc. is a Kansas  corporation  organized in January,
1994.  The Holding  Company is engaged in the business of directing and planning
the activities of  Mid-Continent  Federal  Savings Bank,  the holding  company's
primary asset.

Mid-Continent  Federal  Savings Bank is engaged  principally  in the business of
attracting  deposits from the general public and using such  deposits,  together
with other borrowed funds, to originate permanent and construction loans secured
by one-to-four  family  residential real estate, to make permitted  investments,
including  mortgage-backed and mortgage-related  securities,  and to acquire the
rights to perform loan servicing functions for others.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity Resources:

The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, advances from the Federal Home
Loan  Bank  and  proceeds  from  principal  and  interest   payments  on  loans,
mortgage-related  securities and  investment  securities.  While  maturities and
scheduled   amortization  of  loans  and   mortgage-related   securities  are  a
predictable source of funds,  deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general  interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and  competition.
Dependent on the current economic conditions, the Bank receives additional funds
through   unscheduled   prepayments  of  mortgage  loans  and   mortgage-related
securities.

The  Office of Thrift  Supervision  (OTS)  requires  a  savings  institution  to
maintain  an  average   daily  balance  of  liquid  assets  (cash  and  eligible
investments)  equal to at  least  5% of the  average  daily  balance  of its net
withdrawable deposits and short-term borrowings. In addition,  short-term liquid
assets  currently  must  constitute  1% of the sum of net  withdrawable  deposit
accounts plus short-term  borrowings.  The Bank's actual  liquidity  ratios were
14.7% and 11.6% as of September  30, 1995 and June 30, 1996,  respectively.  The
Bank's short-term liquidity ratio was 4.5% and 4.0%, respectively.

Managing the Bank's liquidity levels is a daily and a long-term  function of the
Bank and its Asset Liability Committee.  Cash flows are monitored by the Bank on
a regular basis.  Cash flow planning is utilized to enhance the Bank's  earnings
where possible.  Management  believes that the Bank has access to ample funds to
meet any unforeseen liquidity needs of the near future.

The Bank has  acquired  real  estate for a future  branch  office in Wichita and
Derby, Kansas. The future branch office facility in Wichita, Kansas is currently
under construction with completion  anticipated in September 1996.  Expenditures
for future offices will not have an adverse impact on liquidity.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                    THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
                             (Dollars in Thousands)

GENERAL - The  Company's net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was
$895 compared with $1,083 the three months ended June 30, 1995.

NET INTEREST INCOME - The Company's net interest  income is primarily  dependent
upon  the  difference  of  "spread"  between  the  yield  earned  on  loans  and
investments  and  the  rate  paid on  deposits  and  borrowings,  as well as the
relative  amounts of such assets and  liabilities.  The interest  rate spread is
affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest
rates,  loan  demand  and  deposit  flows.  The  Company,   like  other  savings
institution  holding  companies,  is subject to interest rate risk to the degree
that its interest-bearing  liabilities mature or reprice at difference times, or
on a different basis, than its interest-earning assets.

Net  interest  income for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was $2,038,
representing  a 7.0%  increase  from the three month period ended June 30, 1995.
Interest-bearing assets and liabilities increased from June 30, 1995 to June 30,
1996.   (Interest-bearing   assets  increased  by  $52,500,   or  22.2%,   while
interest-bearing  liabilities  increased by $58,113,  or 27.2%.) Total  interest
income  increased by 16.4% to $5,089 while interest  expense  increased 23.8% to
$3,051.

INTEREST  INCOME - Interest  income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was
$5,089  compared  with  $4,370  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1995,
representing an increase of $719 or 16.5%.

The Bank's interest on loans  receivable  increased $105 during the three months
ended June 30,  1996 over the same  period in 1995.  This  increase  reflects an
increase in loans  receivable,  comprised  primarily of  adjustable  rate loans.
Loans held for investment  purposes at June 30, 1996 was  approximately  $19,301
greater than such loans at June 30, 1995.

Interest on mortgage-related  securities  increased $5. The Bank's investment in
mortgage-related  securities  declined  in the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1996.
Adjustable rate securities enabled the Bank to maintain a modest income increase
from a portfolio of securities declining in size.

Income from the  investment  portfolio and cash and cash  equivalents  increased
$609.  The  improvement  is due to a  higher  interest-rate  environment  and an
increase in investment  securities of $41,887,  from $44,300 at June 30, 1995 to
$86,187 at June 30, 1996.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was
$3,051  compared  with  $2,465  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1995,
representing an increase of $586 or 23.8%.  The increased  interest  expense for
the period was the result of growth in the deposits of $25,613, from $189,600 at
June 30, 1995 to $215,213 at June 30, 1996,  as well as an  increased  amount of
borrowings  of  $32,500,  from  $24,000 at June 30,  1995 to $56,500 at June 30,
1996.

                                       17


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - The Bank  currently  maintains an allowance for loan
losses based upon management's  periodic  evaluation of known and inherent risks
in the loan portfolio, the Bank's past loss experience,  adverse situations that
may  affect  the  borrowers'  ability  to repay  loans,  estimated  value of the
underlying  collateral and current and expected  market  conditions.  During the
three months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  the Bank  recorded a
provision for loan losses of $30 and $17.

OTHER  INCOME - Other  income for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was
$1,755  compared  with  $1,730  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1995,
representing an increase of $25. During the three months ended June 30, 1995 the
Bank  realized  a gain on the sale of  servicing  rights of $162.  There were no
sales of  servicing  rights  in the  current  quarter.  Most  other  sources  of
significant other income increased in 1996 compared to 1995.

At June 30, 1996,  the Bank was servicing  approximately  $1,219,386 of mortgage
loans  for  others.  At June 30,  1995,  the Bank  was  servicing  approximately
$963,686 of mortgage loans for others. The Bank's total servicing  portfolio for
others increased $255,700,  or 26.5%. Net loan servicing fees decreased $48 from
$825 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1995 to $777 for the quarter ended June 30,
1996.  Gross loan  servicing  fees  increased  $128,  but  amortization  of loan
servicing rights increased $176.

Increases in revenue from non-interest  sources came from service fees and other
charges to customers  which increased $115, from $503 for the quarter ended June
30, 1995 to $618 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996 and gains on sale of loans
which  increased  $82, from $195 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $277 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

A primary  source of the increase in service  fees from  customers is the Bank's
checking  account  programs.  The number of  checking  accounts  increased  from
approximately  12,800 at June 30, 1995 to approximately 15,500 at June 30, 1996.
In addition to  enhancing  service fee income,  the  checking  account  programs
provide a source of low-cost deposits for the Bank.

Loans held for sale  decreased  $4,493,  or 24.5%,  to $13,869 at June 30, 1996,
compared  to $18,362 at June 30,  1995.  Sales of loans held for sale  increased
$41,463,  or 235.1%, from $17,640 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $59,103
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Gain on the sale of loans  increased  from
$195 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1995 to $277 for the quarter ended June 30,
1996.  Although  the  Company  reduces  the  level of market  risk by  obtaining
commitments to sell loans at fixed prices, it cannot eliminate all such risks.

OTHER EXPENSE - Other  expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 totaled
$2,299  compared  to $2,015  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1995.  Other
expenses  consisted of compensation  related expenses,  building and maintenance
expenses,  federal insurance premiums, audit and OTS examination fees, and other
general and administrative expenses.

Salaries  and  employee  benefits  increased  from  $1,004 in the June 30,  1995
quarter to $1,201 in the June 30, 1996 quarter. 

                                       18


Office occupancy,  supplies and data processing expenses collectively  increased
$85 in the June 30, 1996 quarter compared to the June 30, 1995 quarter. The Bank
opened an additional  full service branch in May of 1995. In addition to general
increases in costs of services,  the June 30, 1996 quarter includes the costs of
seven  full  service  branches  in 1996,  compared  to six for a portion  of the
comparable period in 1995.

Loan servicing  expenses  increased from $52 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
to $101 for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1996.  Increase  in  expense  has been
incurred in custodial fees for loan  documents,  additional loan payoff interest
associated  with GNMA pooled  mortgages and  improvements in the Bank's mortgage
payment and processing systems.

INCOME  TAXES - Income tax expense for the three  months ended June 30, 1996 was
$569 which represents an effective tax rate of 38.9%. Income tax expense for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 was $520 which represents an effective tax rate
of 32.4%.  The Company has  adjusted its  effective  income tax rates in interim
periods of the fiscal 1996 year to more closely  approximate  the  effective tax
rate for fiscal 1995, which was 37.3%.
