Item 1.	Description of Business

**General**

Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. ("Company"), which changed its state of incorporation to Missouri on April 1,
1999, was originally incorporated in Delaware on December 30, 1993 for the purpose of becoming the holding company
for Southern Missouri Savings Bank upon completion of Southern Missouri Savings Bank's conversion from a state
chartered mutual savings and loan association to a state chartered stock savings bank.  As part of the conversion in April
1994, the Company sold 1,803,201 shares of its common stock to the public.  The Company's Common Stock is quoted
on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ") National Market System under
the symbol "SMBC".

Southern Missouri Savings Bank was originally chartered as a mutual Missouri savings and loan association
in 1887.  On June 20, 1995, it converted to a federally chartered stock savings bank and took the name Southern
Missouri Savings Bank, FSB.  On February 17, 1998, Southern Missouri Savings Bank converted from a federally
chartered stock savings bank to a Missouri chartered stock savings bank and changed its name to Southern Missouri
Bank & Trust Co. ("Bank") and ("Charter Conversion").

As a result of the Charter Conversion, the primary regulator of the Bank changed from the Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") to the Missouri Division of Finance.  The Bank's deposits continue to be insured up to applicable
limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
Notwithstanding the Bank's conversion to a state savings bank, the Company did not become a bank holding company
regulated by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"), but remained an OTS-regulated savings and loan holding company
as a result of the Bank's election (under Section 10(l) of the Home Owners Loan Act, as amended ("HOLA")) to be
treated as an OTS-regulated savings association ("10(l) Election").

The principal business of the Bank consists primarily of attracting retail deposits from the general public and
using such deposits along with wholesale funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines ("FHLB") to invest
in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate, commercial non-mortgage business loans and consumer loans.  These funds are also used to purchase mortgage-backed and related
securities ("MBS"), U.S. Government Agency obligations and other permissible investments.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had total assets of $279.5 million, total deposits of $194.5 million and
stockholders' equity of $25.1 million.  The Company has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the
stock of the Bank.  Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data,
relates primarily to the Bank.  The Company's revenues are derived principally from interest earned on loans, investment
securities, MBS, CMO's and, to a lesser extent, banking service charges, loan late charges, increases in the cash
surrender value of bank owned life insurance and other fee income.

**Forward Looking Statements**

When used in this Form 10-KSB or future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, in the Company's press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made
with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "would be", "will allow", "intends to", "will
likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project", or similar expressions are
intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995.

The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that various factors, including regional and national
economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and
investment activities and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Company's financial performance and
could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking
statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

**Market Area**

The Bank provides its customers with a full array of community banking services and conducts its business
from its headquarters in Poplar Bluff and seven additional full service offices located in Poplar Bluff, Van Buren,
Dexter, Kennett, Doniphan and Qulin, Missouri.  The Bank's primary market area includes all or portions of Butler,
Carter, Dunklin, Ripley, Stoddard, Wayne and Pemiscot Counties in Missouri and Mississippi and Clay Counties in
Arkansas, with Poplar Bluff being the economic center of the area.  The Bank's market area has a population of
approximately 190,000.  The largest employer in the Bank's primary market area is Briggs & Stratton, who operates a
small engine manufacturing facility and employs approximately 1,000 persons.  Other major employers include Gates
Rubber, Rowe Furniture, John Pershing VA Hospital, Three Rivers Healthcare, Nordyne, Poplar Bluff School District,
Twin Rivers Regional Medical Center, Emerson Electric, Tyson Foods, and Arvin.  The Bank's market area is primarily
rural in nature and relies heavily on agriculture, with products including livestock, rice, timber, soybeans, wheat, melons,
corn and cotton.

**Competition**

The Bank faces intense competition attracting deposits (its primary source of lendable funds) and originating
loans.  Its most direct competition for savings deposits has come historically from commercial banks, other thrift
institutions and credit unions located in its market area.  The Bank is one of 19 financial institution groups located in
its primary market area.  The Bank has faced additional competition for investors' funds from short-term money market
securities, other corporate and government securities and the equity markets.  The Bank's competition for loans comes
principally from other financial institutions, mortgage banking companies, mortgage brokers and life insurance
companies.  The Bank expects competition to continue to increase in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and
technological changes within the financial services industry.  Technological advances, for example, have lowered
barriers to market entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and
made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by
banks.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which permits affiliation among banks, securities firms and insurance companies,
also has changed the competitive environment in which the Bank conducts business.

**Lending Activities**

***General.***The Bank's lending activities consists of origination of loans secured by mortgages on one- to four-family residences and commercial real estate, construction loans on residential and commercial properties, commercial
business loans and consumer loans.  The Bank has also occasionally purchased a limited amount of loan participation
interests originated by other lenders and secured by properties generally located in the Bank's primary market area.

Supervision of the loan portfolio is the responsibility of James W. Duncan, Executive Vice President and
Chairman of the Loan Department.  Loan officers have varying amounts of lending authority depending upon experience
and types of loans.  Loans beyond their authority are presented to the Officers Loan Committee, comprised of President
Steffens, Loan Chairman Duncan and Senior Commercial Lender William D. Hribovsek, along with various appointed
loan officers.  Loans to one borrower (or group of related borrowers), in aggregate, in excess of $500,000 require the
approval of a majority of the Discount Committee, which consists of all Bank directors, prior to the closing of the loan.
All loans are subject to ratification by the full Board of Directors.

The aggregate amount of loans that the Bank is permitted to make under applicable federal regulations to any
one borrower, including related entities, or the aggregate amount that the Bank could have invested in any one real estate
project, is based on the Bank's capital levels.  See "Regulation - Loans to One Borrower."  At June 30, 2003, the
maximum amount which the Bank could lend to any one borrower and the borrower's related entities was approximately
$6.5 million.  At June 30, 2003, the Bank's two largest extensions of credit to one entity were $6.3 million and $5.9
million, respectively.  Both of these credits were commercial loans and were performing according to their terms.

***One- to Four-Family Residential Mortgage Lending.***The Bank actively originates loans for the acquisition
or refinance of one- to four-family residences.  These loans are originated as a result of customer and real estate agent
referrals, existing and walk-in customers and from responses to the Bank's marketing campaigns.  At June 30, 2003, net
mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences totaled $116.8 million, or 52.4% of net loans receivable.

The Bank currently offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans.  During the year ended
June 30, 2003, the Bank originated $10.0 million of ARM loans and $24.4 million of fixed-rate real estate loans which
were secured by one- to four-family residences.  Substantially all of the one- to four-family residential mortgage
originations in the Bank's portfolio are located within the Bank's primary market area.

The Bank generally originates one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts up to 90% of the lower
of the purchase price or appraised value of residential property.  For loans originated in excess of 80%, the Bank charges
a 25 basis point higher rate.  The majority of new residential mortgage loans originated by the Bank conform to
secondary market standards.  The interest rates charged on these loans are competitively priced based on local market
conditions, the availability of funding, and anticipated profit margins.  Fixed and ARM loans originated by the Bank
are amortized over periods as long as 30 years.

The Bank currently originates ARM loans, which adjust annually, after an initial period of one, three or five
years.  Typically, originated ARM loans secured by owner occupied properties reprice at a margin of 2.75% to 3.00%
over the weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year ("CMT").
Generally, ARM loans secured by non-owner occupied residential properties reprice at a margin of 3.75% over the CMT
index.  Current residential ARM loan originations are subject to annual and lifetime interest rate caps and floors.  As
a consequence of using interest rate caps, discounted initial rates and a "CMT" or "lagging" loan index, the interest
earned on the Bank's ARMs will react differently to changing interest rates than the Bank's cost of funds.  At June 30,
2003, loans tied to the CMT index totaled $27.8 million.

Until 1999, most of the owner occupied residential loans originated by the Bank repriced annually at a margin
of 2.50% or 2.75% over the 11th district cost of funds index or the Bank's internal cost of funds, while non-owner
occupied residential loans typically repriced at a margin of 3.00% to 3.75% over these same indices.  The maximum
annual interest rate adjustment on these ARMs was typically limited to a 1.00% to 2.00% adjustment, while the
maximum lifetime adjustment was generally limited to 5.00% to 6.00%.  Generally, each of these indices are considered
a "lagging" index because they adjust more slowly to changes in market interest rates than most other indices.  At June
30, 2003, loans tied to these indices totaled $14.7 million.

In underwriting one- to four-family residential real estate loans, the Bank evaluates the borrower's ability to
meet debt service requirements at current as well as fully indexed rates for ARM loans, as well as the value of the
property securing the loan.  During fiscal 2003, most properties securing real estate loans made by the Bank had
appraisals performed on them by independent fee appraisers approved and qualified by the Board of Directors.  The
Bank generally requires borrowers to obtain title insurance and fire, property and flood insurance (if indicated) in an
amount not less than the amount of the loan.  Real estate loans originated by the Bank generally contain a "due on sale"
clause allowing the Bank to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property.

***Commercial Real Estate Lending.***The Bank actively originates loans secured by commercial real estate
including multi-family dwellings, land (improved and unimproved), strip shopping centers, retail establishments and
other businesses generally located in the Bank's primary market area.  At June 30, 2003, the Bank had $48.6 million in
commercial real estate loans, which represented 21.8% of net loans receivable.

Commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank generally are based on amortization schedules of up to
20 years with monthly principal and interest payments.  Generally, the interest rate received on these loans adjusts at
least annually after an initial period up to five years, based upon the Wall Street prime rate or the one year CMT.
Current commercial real estate originations typically adjust monthly or quarterly based on the Wall Street prime rate.
Generally, original commercial real estate loan amounts do not exceed 75% of the lower of the appraised value or the
purchase price of the secured property.  Before credit is extended, the Bank analyzes the financial condition of the
borrower, the borrower's credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property
and the value of the property itself.  Personal guaranties are required from the borrower in addition to the secured
property as collateral for such loans as well as the submission of updated financial information on the subject property
and the guarantor on at least an annual basis.  The Bank also generally requires appraisals on properties securing
commercial real estate to be performed by a Board-approved independent certified fee appraiser.

Generally, loans secured by commercial real estate involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.  These loans typically involve large balances to single borrowers or groups of related
borrowers.  Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate are often dependent on the successful
operation or management of the secured property, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the
real estate market or the economy.  See "Asset Quality."

***Construction Lending.***The Bank originates real estate loans secured by property or land that is under
construction or development.  At June 30, 2003, the Bank had $3.4 million, or 1.5% of net loans receivable in
construction loans outstanding.

Construction loans originated by the Bank are generally secured by permanent mortgage loans for the
construction of owner occupied residential real estate or to finance speculative construction secured by residential real
estate, land development or owner-operated commercial real estate.  At June 30, 2003, the Bank had 29 construction
loans, 28 of which were secured by residential real estate and one of which was secured by commercial real estate.
During construction, these loans typically require monthly interest-only payments and have maturities ranging from 6
to 12 months. Once construction is completed, permanent construction loans are converted to monthly payments using
amortization schedules of up to 30 years on residential and up to 20 years on commercial real estate.

Speculative construction and land development lending generally affords the Bank an opportunity to receive
higher interest rates and fees with shorter terms to maturity than those obtainable from residential lending.  Nevertheless,
construction and land development lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of credit risk than one- to
four-family residential lending due to (i) the concentration of principal among relatively few borrowers and development
projects, (ii) the increased difficulty at the time the loan is made of accurately estimating building or development costs
and the selling price of the finished product, (iii) the increased difficulty and costs of monitoring and disbursing funds
for the loan,  (iv) the higher degree of sensitivity to increases in market rates of interest and changes in local economic
conditions, and (v) the increased difficulty of working out problem loans.  Due in part to these risk factors, the Bank
may be required from time to time to modify or extend the terms of some of these types of loans.  In an effort to reduce
these risks, the application process includes a submission to the Bank of accurate plans, specifications and costs of the
project to be constructed.  These items are also used as a basis to determine the appraised value of the subject property.
Loan amounts are limited to 85% of the lesser of current appraised value and/or the cost of construction.

***Consumer Lending.***The Bank offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including direct and indirect
automobile loans, second mortgages, mobile homes and loans secured by deposits.  The Bank originates substantially
all of its consumer loans in its primary market area.  Usually, consumer loans are originated with fixed rates for terms
of up to five years, with the exception of home equity lines of credit, which are variable, tied to the prime rate of interest
and are for a period of ten years.  At June 30, 2003, the Bank's consumer loan portfolio totaled $20.5 million, or 9.2%
of net loans receivable.

Direct and indirect automobile loans combined represent 71.0% of the Bank's installment loan portfolio at
June 30, 2003, and totaled $14.6 million, or 6.5% of net loans receivable.  Beginning in fiscal year 2002, the Bank
implemented indirect lending relationships with a few automobile dealerships.  Through these dealer relationships, the
dealer completes the application with the consumer, then submits it to the Bank for credit approval. At June 30, 2003,
the Bank had $5.4 million of indirect automobile loans in its consumer portfolio.  Typically, automobile loans are made
for terms of up to 60 months for new and used vehicles.  Loans secured by automobiles have fixed rates and are
generally made in amounts up to 100% of the purchase price of the vehicle.

Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness
of the borrower.  The underwriting standards employed for consumer loans include employment stability, an application,
a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts, and an assessment of ability to meet existing and
proposed obligations.  Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process
also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, especially in the case of
consumer loans, which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable or mobile assets, such as automobiles or
mobile homes.  In the event of repossession or default, there may be no secondary source of repayment or the underlying
value of the collateral could be insufficient to repay the loan.  In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on
the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the
amount which can be recovered on such loans. The Bank's delinquency levels for these types of loans are reflective of
these risks.  See "Asset Classification."

***Commercial Business Lending.***At June 30, 2003, the Bank also had $37.1 million in commercial business
loans outstanding, or 16.6% of net loans receivable.  The Bank's commercial business lending activities encompass loans
with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and
operating lines of credit.

The Bank currently offers both fixed and adjustable rate commercial business loans.  At year end, the Bank
had $12.7 million in fixed rate and $24.4 million of adjustable rate commercial business loans.  The adjustable rate
business loans can reprice daily, monthly or annually, in accordance with the Wall Street prime rate of interest.  The
Bank expects to continue to maintain or increase the current percentage of commercial business loans in its total loan
portfolio.

Commercial business loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of contract and
creditworthiness of the borrower.  Generally, commercial loans secured by fixed assets are amortized over periods up
to five years, while commercial operating lines of credit are generally for a one year period.  The Bank's commercial
business loans are evaluated based on the loan application, a determination of the applicant's payment history on other
debts, business stability and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan.
Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a
comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make
repayment from his or her employment and other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to
be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the
borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business.  As a result, the availability of funds
for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself.
Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in
value based on the success of the business.

**Loan Maturity and Repricing**

The following table sets forth certain information at June 30, 2003 regarding the dollar amount of loans
maturing or repricing in the Bank's portfolio based on their contractual terms to maturity or repricing, but does not
include scheduled payments or potential prepayments.  Demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayments
and no stated maturity, and overdrafts are reported as due in one year or less.  Mortgage loans, which have adjustable
rates, are shown as maturing at their next repricing date.  Listed loan balances are shown before deductions for
undisbursed loan proceeds, unearned discounts, unearned income and allowance for loan losses.

**Originations, Purchases and Servicing of Loans and Mortgage-Backed Securities**

Generally, real estate loans are originated by the Bank's staff of salaried loan officers.  Loan applications are
taken and processed at each of the Bank's full-service locations.  The Bank started to offer secondary market loans to
customers during fiscal year 2002.

While the Bank originates both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, the ability to originate loans is dependent
upon the relative customer demand for loans in its market.  In fiscal 2003, the Bank originated $124.8 million of loans,
compared to $123.0 million and $93.3 million in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.  Of these loans, mortgage loans
originated were $63.2 million, $65.3 million and $57.3 million in fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

From time to time, the Bank has purchased loan participations consistent with its loan underwriting standards.
In fiscal 2003, the Bank purchased $2.7 million of new loans.  At June 30, 2003, loan participations totaled $8.4 million,
or 3.8% of net loans receivable.  All of these participations were secured by properties located in Missouri.****  At June 30,
2003, all of such participations were performing in accordance to their respective terms.  The Bank will evaluate
purchasing additional loan participations, based in part on local loan demand and portfolio growth.

In addition, the Bank has purchased MBS to complement lending activities and provide balance sheet flexibility
for liquidity and asset/liability management.  The Board believes that the lower yield carried by MBS is somewhat offset
by the lower level of credit risk and the lower level of overhead required in connection with these assets, as compared
to commercial real estate, multi-family and other types of loans.  See "- Mortgage-Backed Securities."

The following table shows total mortgage loans originated, purchased, sold and repaid during the periods
indicated.

|Total mortgage loans at end of period              | $168,829              

**Loan Commitments**

The Bank issues commitments for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and operating or working
capital lines of credit.  Such commitments may be oral or in writing with specified terms, conditions and at a specified
rate of interest.  The Bank had outstanding net loan commitments of approximately $29.3 million at June 30, 2003.  See
Note 16 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report to Stockholders.

**Loan Fees**

In addition, to interest earned on loans, the Bank receives income from fees in connection with loan
originations, loan modifications, late payments and for miscellaneous services related to its loans.  Income from these
activities varies from period to period depending upon the volume and type of loans made and competitive conditions.

**Asset Quality**

***Delinquent Loans.***Generally, when a borrower fails to make a required payment on mortgage or installment
loans the Bank begins the collection process by mailing a computer generated notice to the customer.  If the delinquency
is not cured promptly, the customer is contacted again by notice or telephone.  After an account secured by real estate
becomes over 60 days past due, the Bank will send a 30-day demand notice to the customer which, if not cured or unless
satisfactory arrangements have been made, will lead to foreclosure.  For consumer loans, the Missouri Right-To-Cure
Statute is followed, which requires issuance of specifically worded notices at specific time intervals prior to repossession
or further collection efforts.

The following table sets forth the Bank's loan delinquencies by type and by amount at June 30, 2003.

***Non-Performing Assets.***The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in
the Bank's loan portfolio.  Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest
become doubtful, and as a result, previously accrued interest income on the loan is taken out of current income.  The
Bank has no reserves for uncollected interest and does not accrue interest on non-accrual loans.  A loan may be
transferred back to accrual status once a satisfactory repayment history has been restored.  Foreclosed assets held for
sale include assets acquired in settlement of loans and are shown net of reserves.

At June 30, 2003, the Bank had one loan on which interest was not being accrued in accordance with SFAS
No. 114 as amended by SFAS No. 118.  The Bank would have recorded interest income of $800, $13,000 and $0 on
non-accrual loans during the years ended June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, if such loans had been performing
in accordance with their terms during such periods.  Interest income of approximately $400, $1,000 and $0 was
recognized on these loans for the years ending June 30, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's non-performing assets as of the dates
indicated.  At the dates indicated, the Bank had no restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS 15.

***Other Loans of Concern.*****  In addition to the non-performing assets discussed above, there was also an
aggregate of $1.9 million in net book value of loans (all were commercial real estate and commercial business lending
relationships) with respect to which management has doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to continue to comply with
present loan repayment terms which may ultimately result in the classification of such assets.

***Real Estate Owned.***Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure are
recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated disposition costs.  If fair value at the date of foreclosure is
lower than the balance of the related loan, the difference will be charged-off to the allowance for loan losses at the time
of transfer.  Management periodically updates real estate valuations and if the value declines, a specific provision for
losses on such property is established by a charge to operations.  At June 30, 2003, the Company's balance of real estate
owned totaled $217,000 and included two commercial lots.  The balance on these commercial lots was $187,000.

***Asset Classification.***Applicable regulations require that each insured institution review and classify its assets
on a regular basis.  In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, regulatory examiners have
authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified.  There are three classifications for
problem assets: substandard, doubtful and loss.  Substandard assets must have one or more defined weaknesses and are
characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not
corrected.  Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the
weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values
questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss.  An asset classified loss is considered uncollectible and of such little
value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted.  When an insured institution classifies problem
assets as loss, it charges off the balance of the assets.  Assets, which do not currently expose the Bank to sufficient risk
to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses, may be designated as special
mention.  The Bank's determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is
subject to review by the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance, which can order the establishment of additional
loss allowances.

In connection with the filing of its periodic reports with the FDIC and in accordance with its asset classification
policy, the Bank regularly reviews its loan portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance
with applicable regulations.  On the basis of management's review of the assets of the Company, at June 30, 2003,
classified assets totaled $3.7 million, or 1.3% of total assets as compared $5.2 million, or 2.0% of total assets at June
30, 2002.

The Bank has classified $3.7 million of its assets as substandard and $36,000 as doubtful.  The largest
classified commercial lending relationship at June 30, 2003 totaled $2.0 million and was performing in accordance with
its terms.  In addition, the Bank had classified two other commercial lending relationships, which in the aggregate totaled
$1.3 million.  The other borrowing relationships were classified due to concerns over whether the property securing the
Bank's loans or the borrower generated sufficient cash flow to amortize the loans in accordance with their terms.

***Allowance for Loan Losses.***The Bank's allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume
of loan activity, including those loans which are being specifically monitored.  Such evaluation, which includes a review
of loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated fair
value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience and other factors that warrant
recognition in providing for an adequate provision for loan losses.  These provisions for loan losses are charged against
earnings in the year they are established.  The Bank had an allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2003, of $1.8 million,
which represented 528% of nonperforming assets as compared to of $1.6 million, which represented 220% of
nonperforming assets at June 30, 2002.  See Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the
Annual Report.

Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowance,
unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net earnings could be significantly affected if
circumstances differ substantially from assumptions used in making the final determination.  Future additions to the
allowance will likely be the result of periodic loan, property and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted with
certainty in advance.

The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.
Where specific loan loss reserves have been established, any difference between the loss reserve and the amount of loss
realized has been charged or credited to current income.

**Investment Activities**

***General.***Under Missouri law, the Bank is permitted to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S.
Government and State of Missouri obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of
insured banks and savings institutions, banker's acceptances, repurchase agreements, federal funds, commercial paper,
investment grade corporate debt securities and obligations of States and their political sub-divisions. Generally, the
investment policy of the Company is to invest funds among various categories of investments and repricing
characteristics based upon the Bank's need for liquidity, to provide collateral for borrowings and public unit deposits,
to help reach financial performance targets and to help maintain asset/liability management objectives.

The Company's investment portfolio is managed in accordance with the Bank's investment policy which was
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank and is implemented by members of the asset/liability management
committee which consists of the President and three outside directors.

Investment purchases and/or sales must be authorized by the appropriate party, depending on the aggregate size
of the investment transaction, prior to any investment transaction.  The Board of Directors reviews all investment
transactions.  Investment purchases are identified as either held-to-maturity ("HTM") or available-for-sale ("AFS") at
the time of purchase.****Debt securities classified as "HTM" are reported at amortized cost only if the reporting entity has
the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.  The Company does not have any investment securities
classified as held to maturity at June 30, 2003.  Securities classified as "AFS" must be reported at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.  At June 30, 2003, AFS securities
totaled $31.0 million (excluding FHLB stock).  For information regarding the amortized cost and market values of the
Company's investments, see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report.

Effective April 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."  SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and
hedging activities.  The statement further requires that all derivatives should be recognized as either assets or liabilities
and measured at the fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value, or gains and losses of a derivative depends
on the use or the derivative and resulting designation.  Presently, the Company has no derivative instruments and no
outstanding hedging activities.  Management does not currently intend to purchase derivative instruments or enter into
hedging activities.

***Investment and Other Securities.***At June 30, 2003, the Company's investment securities portfolio totaled $8.7
million, or 3.1% of total assets as compared to $12.5 million, or 4.7% of total assets at June 30, 2002.  During 2003,
the Bank had $7.7 million in maturities and $4.0 million in security purchases.  Of the securities that matured, $6.7
million were called for early redemption.  At June 30, 2003, the investment securities portfolio included $3.7 million
in U.S. government and government agency bonds and $1.3 million in municipal bonds, $3.4 million of which is subject
to early redemption at the option of the issuer.  The remaining portfolio consists of $1.2 million in FNMA preferred
stock and $2.7 million in FHLB stock.  Based on the projected maturities, the weighted average life of the investment
securities portfolio at June 30, 2003, excluding the FNMA preferred stock and FHLB stock, was 14 months.

***Mortgage-Backed Securities.***At June 30, 2003, MBS totaled $25.0 million, or 8.9%, of total assets as
compared to $22.6 million, or 8.5%, of total assets at June 30, 2002.  During fiscal 2003, the Bank had maturities of
$20.6 million and had purchases of $23.7 million in MBS.  At June 30, 2003, the MBS portfolio included $853,000 in
adjustable-rate MBS, $12.4 million in fixed-rate MBS and $11.8 million in fixed rate collateralized mortgage obligations
(CMOs), which passed the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's sensitivity test.  Based on recent
prepayment rates, the weighted average life of the MBS and CMOs at June 30, 2003 was 33 months.  Prepayment rates
may cause the anticipated average life of MBS portfolio to extend or shorten based upon actual rates of loan
prepayment.

******Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds**

***General.***The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, payment of principal and interest
on loans, MBS and CMOs, interest and principal received on investment securities and other short-term investments,
and funds provided from operating results.  Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit
inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are significantly influenced by general market interest rates and overall
economic conditions.

Borrowings, including FHLB advances, have been used at times to provide additional liquidity.  Borrowings
are used on an overnight or short-term basis to compensate for periodic fluctuations in cash flows, and are used on a
longer term basis to fund loan growth and to help manage the Company's sensitivity to fluctuating interest rates.

***Deposits.***Substantially all of the Bank's depositors are residents of the State of Missouri or Northeast
Arkansas.  Deposits are attracted from within the Bank's market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit
instruments, including checking accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts, money market deposit
accounts, saving accounts, certificates of deposit and retirement savings plans.  Deposit account terms vary according
to the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds may remain on deposit and the interest rate, among other
factors.  In determining the terms of its deposit accounts, the Bank considers current market interest rates, profitability
to the Bank, managing interest rate sensitivity and its customer preferences and concerns.  The Bank's Asset/Liability
Committee regularly reviews its deposit mix and pricing.  In order to help manage interest rate risk exposure from
increased fixed rate lending, the average maturity of deposits has been extended.  Certificates of deposit with original
terms of maturities over two years increased from $26.3 million at June 30, 2002 to $29.9 million at June 30, 2003.

The Bank will periodically promote a particular deposit product as part of the Bank's overall marketing plan.
Deposit products have been promoted through various mediums, which include radio and newspaper advertisements.
The emphasis of these campaigns is to increase consumer awareness and market share of the Bank.

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in prevailing interest
rates, and competition.  The Bank has become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows, as customers
have become more interest rate conscious.  Based on its experience, the Bank believes that its deposits are relatively
stable sources of funds.  However, the ability of the Bank to attract and maintain certificates of deposit, and the rates
paid on these deposits, has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

In the unlikely event the Bank is liquidated, depositors will be entitled to payment of their deposit accounts
prior to any payment being made to the Company as the sole stockholder of the Bank.

***Borrowings.***As a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, the Bank has the ability to apply for FHLB advances.
These advances are available under various credit programs, each of which has its own maturity, interest rate and
repricing characteristics.  Additionally, FHLB advances have prepayment penalties as well as limitations on size or term.
In order to utilize FHLB advances, the Bank must be a member of the FHLB system, have sufficient collateral to secure
the requested advance and own stock in the FHLB equal to 4.45% of the amount borrowed.  See "REGULATION -
The Bank -- Federal Home Loan Bank System."

Although deposits are the Bank's primary and preferred source of funds, the Bank actively uses FHLB
advances.  The Bank's general policy has been to utilize borrowings to meet short-term liquidity needs, or to provide
a longer-term source of funding loan growth when other cheaper funding sources are unavailable or to aide in
asset/liability management.  As of June 30, 2003, the Bank had $53.5 million in FHLB advances, of which $37.0
million had an original term of ten years, subject to early redemption by the FHLB after an initial period of one to five
years, $11.0 million in borrowings, all of which had fixed rates and original maturities of four to six years and $5.5
million in short-term borrowings.  In order for the Bank to borrow from the FHLB, it has pledged $64.2 million of its
residential loans to the FHLB and has purchased $2.7 million in FHLB stock.  At June 30, 2003, the Bank had additional
borrowing capacity on its pledged residential loans from the FHLB of $26.4 million as compared to $48.7 million at
June 30, 2002.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding short-term borrowings by the Bank at the end of
and during the periods indicated:

**Subsidiary Activities**

The Bank has one subsidiary, SMS Financial Services, Inc., which had no assets or liabilities at June 30, 2003
and is currently inactive.  The activities of the subsidiary are not significant to the financial condition or results of the
Bank's operations.

**REGULATION**

**The Bank**

***General.*****  As a state-chartered, federally insured savings bank, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation.
Lending activities and other investments must comply with various statutory and regulatory requirements, including
prescribed minimum capital standards.  The Bank is regularly examined by the FDIC and the Missouri Division of
Finance and files periodic reports concerning the Bank's activities and financial condition with its regulators.  The
Bank's relationship with depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by both federal law and the laws
of Missouri, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of mortgage
documents.

Federal and state banking laws and regulations govern all areas of the operation of the Bank, including reserves,
loans, mortgages, capital, issuance of securities, payment of dividends and establishment of branches.  Federal and state
bank regulatory agencies also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks and bank holding
companies if such payments should be deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice.  The respective primary
federal regulators of the Company and the Bank have authority to impose penalties, initiate civil and administrative
actions and take other steps intended to prevent banks from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices.

***State Regulation and Supervision.*****  As a state-chartered savings bank, the Bank is subject to applicable
provisions of Missouri law and the regulations of the Missouri Division of Finance adopted thereunder.  Missouri law
and regulations govern the Bank's ability to take deposits and pay interest thereon, to make loans on or invest in
residential and other real estate, to make consumer loans, to invest in securities, to offer various banking services to its
customers, and to establish branch offices.  Under state law, savings banks in Missouri also generally have all of the
powers that federal mutual savings banks have under federal laws and regulations.  The Bank is subject to periodic
examination and reporting requirements by and of the Missouri Division of Finance.

***Federal Securities Law.***The stock of the Company is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").  As such, the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation,
insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.

The Company's stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers, directors and principal
stockholders) of the Company may not be resold without registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale
restrictions.  If the Company meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of the Company
is able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

***Federal Reserve System.***The Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") requires all depository institutions to maintain
non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (checking, NOW and Super NOW
checking accounts).  At June 30, 2003, the Bank was in compliance with these reserve requirements.

Savings Banks are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount window," but FRB
regulations require associations to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, including FHLB borrowings,
before borrowing from the FRB.

***Federal Home Loan Bank System.***The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which is one of 12
regional FHLBs that administers the home financing credit function of savings associations.  Each FHLB serves as a
reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region.  It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from
the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System.  It makes loans to members (*i.e.*, advances) in accordance with
policies and procedures established by the board of directors of the FHLB, which are subject to the oversight of the
Federal Housing Finance Board.  All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral
as determined by the FHLB.  In addition, all long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home
financing.  As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB of Des Moines.  At June 30,
2003, the Bank had $2.7 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement.  The Bank is paid a
quarterly dividend on this stock which averaged 3.0% in 2003.

Under federal law, the FHLBs are required to provide funds for the resolution of troubled savings associations
and to contribute to low- and moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances
targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects.  These contributions have adversely
affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future.  These contributions could also
have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in the future.  A reduction in value of the Bank's FHLB stock may
result in a corresponding reduction in the Bank's capital.

***Deposit Insurance.***The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures the deposits, up to prescribed
statutory limits, of depository institutions.  The FDIC currently maintains two separate insurance funds: the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the SAIF.  As insurer of the Bank's deposits, the FDIC has examination, supervisory and
enforcement authority over the Bank.

The Bank's accounts are insured by the SAIF to the maximum extent permitted by law.  The Bank pays deposit
insurance premiums based on a risk-based assessment system established by the FDIC.  Under applicable regulations,
institutions are assigned to one of three capital groups that are based solely on the level of an institution's capital -- "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," and "undercapitalized" -- which are defined in the same manner as the regulations
establishing the prompt corrective action system, as discussed below.  These three groups are then divided into three
subgroups, which reflect varying levels of supervisory concern, from those which are considered to be healthy to those
which are considered to be of substantial supervisory concern.  The matrix so created results in nine assessment risk
classifications, with rates that until September 30, 1996 ranged from 0.23% for well capitalized, financially sound
institutions with only a few minor weaknesses to 0.31% for undercapitalized institutions that pose a substantial risk of
loss to the SAIF unless effective corrective action is taken.

Pursuant to the Deposit Insurance Funds Act ("DIF Act"), which was enacted on September 30, 1996, the
FDIC imposed a special assessment on each depository institution with SAIF-assessable deposits, which resulted in the
SAIF achieving its designated reserve ratio.  In connection therewith, the FDIC reduced the assessment schedule for
SAIF members, effective January 1, 1997, to a range of 0% to 0.27%, with most institutions, including the Bank, paying
0%.  This assessment schedule is the same as that for the BIF, which reached its designated reserve ratio in 1995.  In
addition, since January 1, 1997, SAIF members are charged an assessment based on SAIF-assessable deposits for the
purpose of paying interest on the obligations issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO") in the 1980s to help fund
the thrift industry cleanup.  The FICO assessment is currently equal to about 1.60 basis points for each $100 in domestic
deposits for SAIF and BIF insured institutions.

The DIF Act provides for the merger of the BIF and the SAIF into the Deposit Insurance Fund on January 1,
1999, but only if no insured depository institution is a savings association on that date.  The DIF Act contemplates the
development of a common charter for all federally chartered depository institutions and the abolition of separate charters
for national banks and federal savings associations.  It is not known what form the common charter may take and what
effect, if any, the adoption of a new charter would have on the operation of the Bank.

The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if it determines after a
hearing that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound
condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an
agreement with the FDIC.  It also may suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for the
permanent termination of insurance, if the institution has no tangible capital.  If insurance of accounts is terminated, the
accounts at the institution at the time of termination, less subsequent withdrawals, shall continue to be insured for a
period of six months to two years, as determined by the FDIC.  Management is aware of no existing circumstances that
could result in termination of the deposit insurance of the Bank.

***Prompt Corrective Action.*****  Under the FDIA, each federal banking agency is required to implement a system
of prompt corrective action for institutions that it regulates.  The federal banking agencies have promulgated
substantially similar regulations to implement this system of prompt corrective action.  Under the regulations, an
institution shall be deemed to be (i) "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or more, has a
Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more, has a leverage ratio of 5.0% or more and is not subject to specified
requirements to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure; (ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has
a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, has a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or more, has a leverage ratio
of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain

A federal banking agency may, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, reclassify a well capitalized
institution as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized
institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category if the institution is in an unsafe
or unsound condition or has received in its most recent examination, and has not corrected, a less than satisfactory rating
for asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity.  (The FDIC may not, however, reclassify a significantly
undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized.)

An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan that meets specified requirements, as well
as a performance guaranty by each company that controls the institution, with the appropriate federal banking agency
within 45 days of the date that the institution receives notice or is deemed to have notice that it is undercapitalized,
significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized.  Immediately upon becoming undercapitalized, an institution
shall become subject to various mandatory and discretionary restrictions on its operations.

At June 30, 2003, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized" under the prompt corrective action regulations
of the FDIC.

***Standards for Safety and Soundness.*****  The federal banking regulatory agencies have prescribed, by regulation,
standards for all insured depository institutions relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal audit
systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate risk exposure; (v) asset growth; (vi) asset
quality; (vii) earnings; and (viii) compensation, fees and benefits ("Guidelines").  The Guidelines set forth the safety
and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository
institutions before capital becomes impaired.  If the FDIC determines that the Bank fails to meet any standard prescribed
by the Guidelines, the agency may require the Bank to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance
with the standard.  FDIC regulations establish deadlines for the submission and review of such safety and soundness
compliance plans.

***Capital Requirements.***The FDIC's minimum capital standards applicable to FDIC-regulated banks and
savings banks require the most highly-rated institutions to meet a "Tier 1" leverage capital ratio of at least 3% of total
assets.  Tier 1 (or "core capital") consists of common stockholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and
minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries minus all intangible assets other than limited amounts of purchased
mortgage servicing rights and certain other accounting adjustments.  All other banks must have a Tier 1 leverage ratio
of at least 100-200 basis points above the 3% minimum.  The FDIC capital regulations establish a minimum leverage
ratio of not less than 4% for banks that are not the most highly rated or are anticipating or experiencing significant
growth.

The FDIC's capital regulations require higher capital levels for banks which exhibit more than a moderate
degree of risk or exhibit other characteristics which necessitate that higher than minimum levels of capital be maintained.
Any insured bank with a Tier 1 capital to total assets ratio of less than 2% is deemed to be operating in an unsafe and
unsound condition pursuant to Section 8(a) of the FDIA unless the insured bank enters into a written agreement, to
which the FDIC is a party, to correct its capital deficiency. Insured banks operating with Tier 1 capital levels below 2%
(and which have not entered into a written agreement) are subject to an insurance removal action. Insured banks
operating with lower than the prescribed minimum capital levels generally will not receive approval of applications
submitted to the FDIC. Also, inadequately capitalized state nonmember banks will be subject to such administrative
action as the FDIC deems necessary.

FDIC regulations also require that banks meet a risk-based capital standard.  The risk-based capital standard
requires the maintenance of total capital (which is defined as Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 or supplementary capital) to risk
weighted assets of 8% and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4%.  In determining the amount of risk-weighted
assets, all assets, plus certain off balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk-weight of 0% to 100%, based on the risks
the FDIC believes are inherent in the type of asset or item.  The components of Tier 1 capital are equivalent to those
discussed above under the 3% leverage requirement.  The components of supplementary capital currently include
cumulative perpetual preferred stock, adjustable-rate perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, term
subordinated debt, intermediate-term preferred stock and allowance for possible loan and lease losses.  Allowance for
possible loan and lease losses includable in supplementary capital is limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted
assets.  Overall, the amount of capital counted toward supplementary capital cannot exceed 100% of Tier 1 capital.  The
FDIC includes in its evaluation of a bank's capital adequacy an assessment of the exposure to declines in the economic
value of the bank's capital due to changes in interest rates.  However, no measurement framework for assessing the level
of a bank's interest rate risk exposure has been codified.  In the future, the FDIC will issue a proposed rule that would
establish an explicit minimum capital charge for interest rate risk, based on the level of a bank's measured interest rate
risk exposure.

An undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized institution is required to
submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking agency.  The plan must specify (i) the
steps the institution will take to become adequately capitalized, (ii) the capital levels to be attained each year, (iii) how
the institution will comply with any regulatory sanctions then in effect against the institution and (iv) the types and levels
of activities in which the institution will engage.  The banking agency may not accept a capital restoration plan unless
the agency determines, among other things, that the plan "is based on realistic assumptions, and is likely to succeed in
restoring the institution's capital" and "would not appreciably increase the risk...to which the institution is exposed."

The FDIA provides that the appropriate federal regulatory agency must require an insured depository institution
that is significantly undercapitalized or is undercapitalized and either fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration
plan within the time period allowed or fails in any material respect to implement a capital restoration plan accepted by
the appropriate federal banking agency to take one or more of the following actions:  (i) sell enough shares, including
voting shares, to become adequately capitalized; (ii) merge with (or be sold to) another institution (or holding company),
but only if grounds exist for appointing a conservator or receiver; (iii) restrict certain transactions with banking affiliates
as if the "sister bank" requirements of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act ("FRA") did not exist; (iv) otherwise
restrict transactions with bank or non-bank affiliates; (v) restrict interest rates that the institution pays on deposits to
"prevailing rates" in the institution's region; (vi) restrict asset growth or reduce total assets; (vii) alter, reduce or
terminate activities; (viii) hold a new election of directors; (ix) dismiss any director or senior executive officer who held
office for more than 180 days immediately before the institution became undercapitalized; (x) employ "qualified" senior
executive officers; (xi) cease accepting deposits from correspondent depository institutions; (xii) divest certain non-depository affiliates which pose a danger to the institution; (xiii) be divested by a parent holding company; and (xiv)
take any other action which the agency determines would better carry out the purposes of the Prompt Corrective Action
provisions.  See "-- Prompt Corrective Action."

The FDIC has adopted the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's recommendation regarding
the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities."  Specifically, the agencies determined that net unrealized holding gains or losses on
available for sale debt and equity securities should not be included when calculating core and risk-based capital ratios.

FDIC capital requirements are designated as the minimum acceptable standards for banks whose overall
financial condition is fundamentally sound, which are well-managed and have no material or significant financial
weaknesses.  The FDIC capital regulations state that, where the FDIC determines that the financial history or condition,
including off-balance sheet risk, managerial resources and/or the future earnings prospects of a bank are not adequate
and/or a bank has a significant volume of assets classified substandard, doubtful or loss or otherwise criticized, the
FDIC may determine that the minimum adequate amount of capital for that bank is greater than the minimum standards
established in the regulation.

The Bank's management believes that, under the current regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its
minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future.  However, events beyond the control of the Bank, such as a
downturn in the economy in areas where the Bank has most of its loans, could adversely affect future earnings and,
consequently, the ability of the Bank to meet its capital requirements.

The table below sets forth the Bank's capital position relative to its FDIC capital requirements at June 30, 2003.
The definitions of the terms used in the table are those provided in the capital regulations issued by the FDIC.

|(2) | As a Missouri-chartered savings bank, the Bank is subject to the capital requirements of the FDIC and the Missouri Division of Finance.
The FDIC requires state-chartered savings banks, including the Bank, to have a minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets
of at least 3%, provided, however, that all institutions, other than those (i) receiving the highest rating during the examination process
and (ii) not anticipating any significant growth, are required to maintain a ratio of 1% to 2% above the stated minimum, with an absolute
total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%.  The Bank has not been notified by the FDIC of any leverage capital requirement
specifically applicable to it.



***Loans to One Borrower.***As a result of the 10(1) Election made by the Bank in connection with the Charter
Conversion (see "Item 1. Description of Business - General,") the Bank remains subject to the loans to one borrower
regulations applicable to federal savings associations.

***Activities and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Banks.***The FDIA generally limits the activities and
equity investments of FDIC-insured, state-chartered banks to those that are permissible for national banks.  Under
regulations dealing with equity investments, an insured state bank generally may not directly or indirectly acquire or
retain any equity investment of a type, or in an amount, that is not permissible for a national bank.  An insured state bank
is not prohibited from, among other things, (i) acquiring or retaining a majority interest in a subsidiary, (ii) investing
as a limited partner in a partnership the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect investment in the acquisition,
rehabilitation or new construction of a qualified housing project, provided that such limited partnership investments may
not exceed 2% of the bank's total assets, (iii) acquiring up to 10% of the voting stock of a company that solely provides
or reinsures directors', trustees' and officers' liability insurance coverage or bankers' blanket bond group insurance
coverage for insured depository institutions, and (iv) acquiring or retaining the voting shares of a depository institution
if certain requirements are met.

Subject to certain regulatory exceptions, FDIC regulations provide that an insured state-chartered bank may
not, directly, or indirectly through a subsidiary, engage as "principal" in any activity that is not permissible for a national
bank unless the FDIC has determined that such activities would pose no risk to the insurance fund of which it is a
member and the bank is in compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements.  Any insured state-chartered bank
directly or indirectly engaged in any activity that is not permitted for a national bank or for which the FDIC has granted
and exception must cease the impermissible activity.

***Affiliate Transactions.***The Company and the Bank are legal entities separate and distinct.  Various legal
limitations restrict the Bank from lending or otherwise supplying funds to the Company (an "affiliate"), generally
limiting such transactions with the affiliate to 10% of the bank's capital and surplus and limiting all such transactions
to 20% of the bank's capital and surplus.  Such transactions, including extensions of credit, sales of securities or assets
and provision of services, also must be on terms and conditions consistent with safe and sound banking practices,
including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the bank as those prevailing at the
time for transactions with unaffiliated companies.

Federally insured banks are subject, with certain exceptions, to certain restrictions on extensions of credit to
their parent holding companies or other affiliates, on investments in the stock or other securities of affiliates and on the
taking of such stock or securities as collateral from any borrower.  In addition, such banks are prohibited from engaging
in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or the providing of any property or service.

***Qualified Thrift Lender Test.***As a result of the 10(l) Election made by the Bank in connection with its
conversion to a state savings bank (see Item 1. Description of Business -- General"), the Bank remains subject to the
qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test applicable to federal savings associations.

All savings associations are required to meet a QTL test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations.  A
savings institution that fails to become or remain a QTL shall either convert to a national bank charter or be subject to
the following restrictions on its operations:  (i) the Bank may not make any new investment or engage in activities that
would not be permissible for national banks; (ii) the Bank may not establish any new branch office where a national
bank located in the savings institution's home state would not be able to establish a branch office; (iii) the Bank shall
be ineligible to obtain new advances from any FHLB; and (iv) the payment of dividends by the Bank shall be subject
to the rules regarding the statutory and regulatory dividend restrictions applicable to national banks.  Also, beginning
three years after the date on which the savings institution ceases to be a QTL, the savings institution would be prohibited
from retaining any investment or engaging in any activity not permissible for a national bank and would be required to
repay any outstanding advances to any FHLB.  In addition, within one year of the date on which a savings association
controlled by a company ceases to be a QTL, the company must register as a bank holding company and become subject
to the rules applicable to such companies.  A savings institution may requalify as a QTL if it thereafter complies with
the QTL test.

Currently, the QTL test requires that either an institution qualify as a domestic building and loan association
under the Internal Revenue Code or that 65% of an institution's "portfolio assets" (as defined) consist of certain housing
and consumer-related assets on a monthly average basis in nine out of every 12 months.  Assets that qualify without limit
for inclusion as part of the 65% requirement are loans made to purchase, refinance, construct, improve or repair
domestic residential housing and manufactured housing; home equity loans; mortgage-backed securities (where the
mortgages are secured by domestic residential housing or manufactured housing); FHLB stock; direct or indirect
obligations of the FDIC; and loans for educational purposes, loans to small businesses and loans made through credit
cards.  In addition, the following assets, among others, may be included in meeting the test subject to an overall limit
of 20% of the savings institution's portfolio assets:  50% of residential mortgage loans originated and sold within 90
days of origination; 100% of consumer loans; and stock issued by FHLMC or FNMA.  Portfolio assets consist of total
assets minus the sum of (i) goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) property used by the savings institution to conduct
its business, and (iii) liquid assets up to 20% of the institution's total assets.  At June 30, 2003, the Bank was in
compliance with the QTL test.

***Community Reinvestment Act.*****  Banks are also subject to the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act
of 1977 ("CRA"), which requires the appropriate federal bank regulatory agency, in connection with its regular
examination of a bank, to assess the bank's record in meeting the credit needs of the community serviced by the bank,
including low and moderate income neighborhoods.  The regulatory agency's assessment of the bank's record is made
available to the public.  Further, such assessment is required of any bank which has applied, among other things, to
establish a new branch office that will accept deposits, relocate an existing office or merge or consolidate with, or
acquire the assets or assume the liabilities of, a federally regulated financial institution.  The Bank received a
"satisfactory" rating during its most recent CRA examination.

***Dividends.***Dividends from the Bank constitute the major source of funds for dividends, which may be paid
by the Company.  The amount of dividends payable by the Bank to the Company depends upon the Bank's earnings and
capital position, and is limited by federal and state laws, regulations and policies.

The amount of dividends actually paid during any one period will be strongly affected by the Bank's
management policy of maintaining a strong capital position.  Federal law further provides that no insured depository
institution may make any capital distribution (which would include a cash dividend) if, after making the distribution,
the institution would be "undercapitalized," as defined in the prompt corrective action regulations.  Moreover, the federal
bank regulatory agencies also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured banks if such payments
should be deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound practice.

**The Company**

***General.***As a result of the 10(l) Election made by the Bank, in connection with the charter conversion, the
Company is a savings and loan holding company regulated by the OTS (for as long as the Bank satisfies the QTL test)
rather than a bank holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve Board.  Accordingly, the Company is subject to
OTS regulations and filing requirements.

***Holding Company Acquisitions.*****  The HOLA and OTS regulations issued thereunder generally prohibit a
savings and loan holding company, without prior OTS approval, from acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of
any other savings association or savings and loan holding company or controlling the assets thereof.  They also prohibit,
among other things, any director or officer of a savings and loan holding company, or any individual who owns or
controls more than 25% of the voting shares of such holding company, from acquiring control of any savings association
not a subsidiary of such savings and loan holding company, unless the acquisition is approved by the OTS.

***Holding Company Activities.***As a unitary savings and loan holding company, the Company generally is not
subject to activity restrictions under the HOLA.  If the Company acquires control of another savings association as a
separate subsidiary other than in a supervisory acquisition, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding
company.  There generally are more restrictions on the activities of a multiple savings and loan holding company than
on those of a unitary savings and loan holding company.  The HOLA provides that, among other things, no multiple
savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof which is not an insured association shall commence or continue
for more than two years after becoming a multiple savings and loan association holding company or subsidiary thereof,
any business activity other than:  (i) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary insured institution,
(ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business, (iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or
acquired from a subsidiary insured institution, (iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary
insured institution, (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust, (vi) those activities previously directly authorized by
regulation as of March 5, 1987 to be engaged in by multiple holding companies or (vii) those activities authorized by
the Federal Reserve Board as permissible for bank holding companies, unless the OTS by regulation, prohibits or limits
such activities for savings and loan holding companies.  Those activities described in (vii) above also must be approved
by the OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple savings and loan holding company.

***Qualified Thrift Lender Test.*****  The HOLA provides that any savings and loan holding company that controls
a savings association that fails the QTL test, as explained under "-- The Bank -- Qualified Thrift Lender Test," must,
within one year after the date on which the Bank ceases to be a QTL, register as and be deemed a bank holding company
subject to all applicable laws and regulations.



**Federal Taxation**

***General.*****  The Company and the Bank report their income on a fiscal year basis using the accrual method of
accounting and are subject to federal income taxation in the same manner as other corporations with some exceptions,
including particularly the Bank's reserve for bad debts discussed below.  The following discussion of tax matters is
intended only as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the
Bank or the Company.

***Bad Debt Reserve.***Historically, savings institutions, such as the Bank used to be, which met certain
definitional tests primarily related to their assets and the nature of their business ("qualifying thrift"), were permitted
to establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions thereto, which may have been deducted in arriving at
their taxable income.  The Bank's deductions with respect to "qualifying real property loans," which are generally loans
secured by certain interest in real property, were computed using an amount based on the Bank's actual loss experience,
or a percentage equal to 8% of the Bank's taxable income, computed with certain modifications and reduced by the
amount of any permitted additions to the non-qualifying reserve.  Due to the Bank's loss experience, the Bank generally
recognized a bad debt deduction equal to 8% of taxable income.

The thrift bad debt rules were revised by Congress in 1996.  The new rules eliminated the 8% of taxable income
method for deducting additions to the tax bad debt reserves for all thrifts for tax years beginning after December 31,
1995.  These rules also required that all institutions recapture all or a portion of their bad debt reserves added since the
base year (last taxable year beginning before January 1, 1988).  The Bank has no post-1987 reserves subject to recapture.
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1995, the Bank's bad debt deduction is determined under the experience
method using a formula based on actual bad debt experience over a period of years.  The unrecaptured base year reserves
will not be subject to recapture as long as the institution continues to carry on the business of banking.  In addition, the
balance of the pre-1988 bad debt reserves continue to be subject to provisions of present law referred to below that
require recapture in the case of certain excess distributions to shareholders.

***Distributions.*****  To the extent that the Bank makes "nondividend distributions" to the Company, such
distributions will be considered to result in distributions from the balance of its bad debt reserve as of December 31,
1987 (or a lesser amount if the Bank's loan portfolio decreased since December 31, 1987) and then from the
supplemental reserve for losses on loans ("Excess Distributions"), and an amount based on the Excess Distributions will
be included in the Bank's taxable income.  Nondividend distributions include distributions in excess of the Bank's
current and accumulated earnings and profits, distributions in redemption of stock and distributions in partial or
complete liquidation.  However, dividends paid out of the Bank's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as
calculated for federal income tax purposes, will not be considered to result in a distribution from the Bank's bad debt
reserve.  The amount of additional taxable income created from an Excess Distribution is an amount that, when reduced
by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution.  Thus, if the Bank makes a "nondividend
distribution," then approximately one and one-half times the Excess Distribution would be includable in gross income
for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% corporate income tax rate (exclusive of state and local taxes).  See
"REGULATION" for limits on the payment of dividends by the Bank.  The Bank does not intend to pay dividends that
would result in a recapture of any portion of its tax bad debt reserve.

***Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax.***The Internal Revenue Code imposes a tax on alternative minimum
taxable income ("AMTI") at a rate of 20%.  In addition, only 90% of AMTI can be offset by net operating loss carry-overs.  AMTI is increased by an amount equal to 75% of the amount by which the Bank's adjusted current earnings
exceeds its AMTI (determined without regard to this preference and prior to reduction for net operating losses).  For
taxable years beginning after December 31, 1986, and before January 1, 1996, an environmental tax of 0.12% of the
excess of AMTI (with certain modification) over $2.0 million is imposed on corporations, including the Bank, whether
or not an Alternative Minimum Tax is paid.

***Dividends-Received Deduction.*****  The Company may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from
the Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.  The corporate dividends-received deduction is
generally 70% in the case of dividends received from unaffiliated corporations with which the Company and the Bank
will not file a consolidated tax return, except that if the Company or the Bank owns more than 20% of the stock of a
corporation distributing a dividend, then 80% of any dividends received may be deducted.

**Missouri Taxation**

Missouri-based savings banks, such as the Bank, are subject to a special financial institutions tax, based on net
income without regard to net operating loss carryforwards, at the rate of 7% of net income.  This tax is in lieu of certain
other state taxes on thrift institutions, on their property, capital or income, except taxes on tangible personal property
owned by the Bank and held for lease or rental to others and on real estate, contributions paid pursuant to the
Unemployment Compensation Law of Missouri, social security taxes, sales taxes and use taxes.  In addition, the
Company is entitled to credit against this tax all taxes paid to the State of Missouri or any political subdivision except
taxes on tangible personal property owned by the Bank and held for lease or rental to others and on real estate,
contributions paid pursuant to the Unemployment Compensation Law of Missouri, social security taxes, sales and use
taxes, and taxes imposed by the Missouri Financial Institutions Tax Law.  Missouri savings banks are not subject to the
regular state corporate income tax.

**Audits**

There have not been any IRS audits of the Company's Federal income tax returns or audits of the Bank's state
income tax returns during the past five years.

For additional information regarding taxation, see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in the Annual Report.

**Personnel**

As of June 30, 2003, the Company had 84 full-time employees and 12 part-time employees.  The Company
believes that employees play a vital role in the success of a service company and that the Company's relationship with
its employees is good.  The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit.

Item 13.	Controls and Procedures

**(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of June 30, 2003, was carried out under the supervision
and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Financial Officer, and several other
members of our senior management.  Our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures as currently in effect are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports
the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management
(including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  There have
been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that
occurred during the year ended June 30, 2003, that has materially effected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures and to improve the Company's controls and procedures over time and to correct any
deficiencies that we may discover in the future.  The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to
all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business.  While we believe the
present design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its
business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.
