1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance
with the  instructions  for form  10-Q 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 three and nine months ending June 30, 1996, are
not  necessarily  indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1996.

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,  each  eligible  account  holder  will be  entitled to
receive a distribution from the liquidation  account in an amount  proportionate

6.   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  reflect 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 June 30, 1996, the Bank had outstanding commitments to fund real estate loans
of $3,313,356.  Of the  commitments  outstanding,  $2,385,306 are for fixed rate
loans at rates of 7.25% to 9.50%.  Commitments  for adjustable rate loans amount
to $928,050 with initial rates of 7.125% to 9.125%.  There were outstanding loan
commitments of $1,272,901 to sell as of June 30, 1996, with rates  approximating
original loan rate.

7.   Earnings  per share for the three and nine months  ending June 30, 1996 and
1995, was determined by the weighted average shares outstanding as follows;

Earnings  per share have been  computed on the  treasury  stock  method in using
average market price for the common stock equivalents (options).

Beginning with the fiscal year ending  September 30, 1995, the Company  accounts
for the 136,878 shares acquired by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") in
accordance  with Statement of Position 93-6. In accordance  with this statement,
shares  controlled by the ESOP are not considered in the weighted average shares
outstanding until the shares are committed for allocation.

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

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 June 30, 1996. The Bank is primarily  engaged in the business of accepting
deposit accounts from the general public, using such funds to originate mortgage
loans for the purchase and refinancing of single-family homes located in Central
and Southwestern  Kansas and for the purchase of mortgage-backed  and investment
securities.  In  addition,  the Bank also  offers and  purchases  loans  through
correspondent lending relationships in Wichita, Kansas City, and other cities in
Kansas and in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico. To a lesser extent, the Bank
will purchase  adjustable rate mortgages loans, to manage its interest rate risk
as deemed  necessary.  The Bank also makes  automobile  loans,  second  mortgage
loans,  home  equity  loans and  savings  deposit  loans.  The Bank in  addition
purchases whole loans from other Mortgage Originators.

Changes in financial condition between June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995:

           Total assets decreased by $8,162,806,  or approximately  4.0% between
June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 from  $208,631,862  to  $200,469,056.  This
decrease is largely  attributed to a $8,593,651  decrease in securities  held to
maturity.

Management Strategy:

           Management's strategy has been to maintain profitability.  The Bank's
lending  strategy has  historically  focused on the  origination of traditional,
conforming  one to  four-family  mortgage  loans with the  primary  emphasis  on
single-family residences. The Bank's secondary focus has been on consumer loans,
second mortgage loans,  home equity loans and savings deposit loans. This focus,
and the application of strict underwriting standards, are designed to reduce the
risk of loss on the Bank's loan portfolio. However, this lack of diversification
in its portfolio structure does increase the Bank's portfolio concentration risk
by making the value of the portfolio more susceptible to declines in real estate
values in its market area. This has been mitigated in recent years,  through the
investment in mortgage-backed securities and the continued sales of loans in the
secondary market.

           Certain  risks are  inherent  in the sales of loans in the  secondary
market.  There is a risk  that the Bank  will not be able to sell all the  loans
that it has originated, or conversely,  will be unable to fulfill its commitment
to deliver loans pursuant to a firm  commitment to sell loans.  In addition,  in
periods of rising  interest rates,  loans  originated by the bank may decline in
value.  Exposure  to market and  interest  rate risk is  significant  during the
period  between  the  time  the  interest  rate on a  customer's  mortgage  loan
application  is  established  and the time the mortgage  loan  closes,  and also
during the period between the time the interest rate is established and the time
the Bank commits to sell the loan. If interest rates change in an  unanticipated
fashion,  the actual  percentage  of loans that close may differ from  projected
percentages.  The  resultant  mismatching  of  commitments  to closed  loans and
commitments   to  deliver  sold  loans  may  have  an  adverse   effect  on  the
profitability of loan originations.

           A sudden increase in interest rates can cause a higher  percentage of
loans to close than projected. To the degree that this was not anticipated,  the
Bank  will  not  have  made  commitments  to sell  these  loans  and  may  incur
significant mark to market losses, adversely affecting results of operations.

           The Bank  historically  sells 30 year  fixed  rate  mortgages  in the
secondary  market,  however the Bank is keeping all 20 year or shorter mortgages
with fixed  rates  above 7.0% for  investment  and  selling all other fixed rate
loans.


                                                                             10

           Through out the first nine months of fiscal year 1996 rates continued
with moderate decline,  however toward the end of June 1996, rates begin to edge
upward.  As a result of the rates at the end of June 1996, the Bank reflected an
unrealized loss of $61,884 in loans held for sale.  Sustained  levels of gain on
sale of loans is  dependent  on  continued  stable  or  downward  interest  rate
movement and would likely be adversely  affected by a continued rise in interest
rates.

           Effective October 1, 1994, the Bank adopted the Financial  Accounting
Standards Board SFAS Statement No. 115,  "accounting for certain  investments in
debt and equity  securities".  This statement is not retroactively  applied.  In
conjunction  with the  adoption of SFAS No.  115,  investment  securities  as of
October 1, 1994, are designated as held-to-maturity and available-for-sale.  The
effect  of  classifying  securities  as  available-for-sale  was to  reflect  an
unrealized  gain net of tax effect,  as a component of  stockholders'  equity of
$84,001 as of June 30, 1996.

On May 20,  1996,  the Board of  Directors  announced  that the Office of Thrift
Supervision  ("OTS") had  authorized  the  repurchase of up to 5% of outstanding
common stock in the open market between May 20, 1996 and March 28, 1997.

Results of operations:  comparison  between the three and nine months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995:

           Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1996 of $472,844
represents  an  increase  of $7,975 or a 1.7%  increase  from the net  income of
$464,869 reported for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995.

           Net  income  for  the  nine-month  period  ended  June  30,  1996  of
$1,335,526  represents  an increase of $95,857 or a 7.7%  increase  over the net
income of  $1,239,669  reported for the  nine-month  period ended June 30, 1995.
This increase is due to increased  net interest  income over the same period and

           Net  interest  income  before  provision  for losses on loans for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1996 increased $153,710 or approximately 11.4%
to  $1,503,457 as compared  with  $1,349,747  for the same period ended June 30,
1995.  This increase is associated with the increased  interest  received on the
mortgage loan portfolio.

           Net  interest  income  before  provision  for losses on loans for the
nine-month  period ended June 30, 1996 increased  $226,025 or 5.5% to $4,303,624
as compared  with  $4,077,599  for the same  period  ended June 30,  1995.  This
increase is  associated  with the  increased  interest  received on the mortgage
loans.

           Interest  expense  for the  three-month  period  ended June 30,  1996
decreased  $109,480 or 5.0% to $2,077,989 as compared  with  $2,187,469  for the
same period ended June 30, 1995.  This  decrease is due to the  decreased  costs
associated with savings rates during the most recent quarter.

           Interest  expense  for the  nine-month  period  ended  June 30,  1996
increased  $534,875 or 9.0% to $6,460,722 as compared  with  $5,925,847  for the
same period ended June 30, 1995.  This  increase is due to the  increased  costs
associated with savings rates primarily during the first two quarters.

           The Bank added $30,000 to the provision for loan losses for the three
month period  ending June 30, 1996 and $90,000 for the nine month period  ending
June 30, 1996. These additions are due to increased loan production.

           Non interest income including non operating items for the three-month
period  ended June 30, 1996  decreased  $49,731 or 24.9% to $150,197 as compared
with $199,928 for the same period ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease  primarily
was due to a  decrease  in net gains  from  available  for sale  investments  of
$32,555,  and a decrease of $27,735 on net gains from mortgage loan sales during
the quarter.

           Non interest income  including non operating items for the nine-month

increased  $38,704 or 4.9% to $835,510 as compared  with  $796,806  for the same
period ended June 30,  1995.  This  increase is due to the general  increases in
other operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets,  as defined by
the OTS  regulations.  This  requirement,  which may be varied from time to time
depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage
of deposits and short-term borrowing.  The required minimum ratio is currently 5
percent.  The Bank's  liquidity  ratio averaged 7.25% during June 1996. The Bank
manages  its  liquidity  ratio 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
ratio 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 time to time 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.

When  applicable,  cash in excess of immediate  funding  needs is invested  into
longer-term  investments and  mortgage-backed  securities which typically earn a
higher yield than overnight  deposits,  some of which may also qualify as liquid
investments under current OTS regulations.

As required by the financial  institutions reform,  recovery and enforcement act
of 1989 ("FIRREA"), OTS prescribed three separate standards of capital adequacy.
The  regulations  require  financial  institutions  to have  minimum  regulatory
capital equal to 1.50 percent of tangible assets;  minimum core capital equal to
3.00 percent of adjusted tangible assets;  and risk-based  capital equal to 8.00
percent of risk-based assets.

Item 5. - Other Information

           Due to a disparity in the capitalization of federal deposit insurance
funds,  effective  September 30, 1995 the FDIC lowered the insurance premium for
members of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") to a range of between 0.04% and 0.31%
of deposits  while  maintaining  the current range of between .023% and 0.31% of
deposits  for  members  of the  Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF").
Additionally effective January 1996, the total annual insurance premium for most
BIF members was lowered to $2,000.  These  reductions in insurance  premiums for
BIF members  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 approximately
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 operation.  Based on  outstanding  deposits as of June 30,
1996, a 0.85%  assessment  would result in expense to the Bank of  approximately
$1.2 million 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 in excess of those allowed for banks. As of June 30, 1996, tax bad debt
reserves  for which no  deferred  or  current  tax  liability  has been  accrued
amounted to approximately $5.6 million.
