Note 6: Stock Option Plans

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), which provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 requires disclosures of the interim as well as annual financial statements about the method of accounting used for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method on net income. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25. Accordingly, no stock-based employee compensation cost related to options granted is reflected in net income.

Note 7: Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Bank established a tax-qualified ESOP in April 1994. The plan covers substantially all employees who have attained the age of 21 and completed one year of service.

The Bank makes contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service less dividends on unallocated ESOP shares used to repay the ESOP loan. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are paid to participants of the ESOP. The ESOP shares are pledged as collateral on the ESOP loan.

Shares are released from collateral and allocated to participants based on pro-rata compensation as the loan is repaid over seven years. Effective July 1, 1998, the loan terms were modified and principal payments were extended an additional four years. Benefits are vested over five years. Forfeitures are allocated on the same basis as other contributions. Benefits are payable upon a participant's retirement, death, disability or separation of service. The purchase of the shares of the ESOP has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements through a credit to common stock and additional paid-in capital with a corresponding charge to a contra equity account for the unreleased shares. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Bank reports compensation expense equal to the average fair value of the ESOP shares committed to be released.

Note 8: Corporate Obligated Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities

Southern Missouri Statutory Trust I issued $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital Securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities") with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. The securities are due in 30 years, redeemable after five years and bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR. The securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the trust, which was established by the Company for the purpose of issuing the securities. The Trust Preferred Securities were sold in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and have not been registered under the Act. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Southern Missouri Statutory Trust I used the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities to purchase Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company. The Company intends to use its net proceeds for working capital and investment in its subsidiaries.

Note 9: Authorized Share Repurchase Program

In April 2004, the Board of Directors authorized and announced the open-market stock repurchase of up to 115,000 shares of the Company's outstanding stock. As of September 30, 2004 a total of 75,000 shares have been repurchased with no shares being issued for the exercise of stock options. The number of shares, as of September 30, 2004, held as treasury stock was 720,222.

PART I Item 2
Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc.
Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

General

Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (Southern Missouri or Company) is a Missouri corporation and owns all of the outstanding stock of Southern Missouri Bank & Trust Co. (SMBT or the Bank). The Company's earnings are primarily dependent on the operations of the Bank. As a result, the following discussion relates primarily to the operations of the Bank. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured up to a maximum of $100,000 by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Bank currently conducts its business through its home office located in Poplar Bluff and seven full service branch facilities in Poplar Bluff, Van Buren, Dexter, Kennett, Doniphan and Qulin, Missouri.

The significant accounting policies followed by Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting. All adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported have been included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.

The consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2004 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following discussion reviews the Company's consolidated financial condition at September 30, 2004 and the results of operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Forward Looking Statements

This document, including information incorporated by reference, contains forward-looking statements about the Company and its subsidiaries which we believe are within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements with respect to anticipated future operating and financial performance, growth opportunities, interest rates, cost savings and funding advantages expected or anticipated to be realized by management.

Critical Accounting Policies

Generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgements to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management of the Corporation must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. For a complete discussion of the Company's significant accounting policies, see "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's 2004 Annual Report. Certain policies are considered critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgements, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. For a discussion of applying critical accounting policies, see "Critical Accounting Policies" beginning on page 11 in the Corporation's 2004 Annual Report.

Executive Summary

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest margin, which is a direct result of the interest rate environment. Net interest margin is the difference between the average yield earned on average interest bearing assets, primarily mortgage loans, commercial loans and the investment portfolio, and the average yield paid on average interest bearing liabilities, primarily certificates of deposits, savings, interest bearing demand and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is directly impacted by the spread between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates, as our interest earning assets, particularly those with initial terms to maturity or repricing greater than one year, generally price off longer term rates while our interest-bearing liabilities generally price off shorter-term interest rates.

The impact on our net interest margin due to changes in interest rates is generally felt in later periods than the impact on our interest expense due to timing of the recording on the balance sheet of our interest-earning assets and interest -bearing liabilities. The recoding of interest-earning assets on the balance sheet generally lags the current market rate due to commitment periods which vary, while the recording of liabilities on the balance sheet generally times the current market. This timing difference could have an adverse impact on our net interest margin, as the interest rate margin may decrease in a rising rate environment.

Also impacting our net interest margin is the level of prepayment activity on our mortgage-related assets. The actual amount of time before mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are repaid can be significantly impacted by changes in market interest rates and mortgage prepayment rates. Mortgage prepayment rates will vary due to a number of factors, including the regional economy where the mortgage loan or the underlying mortgages of the mortgage-backed security were originated, seasonal factors and demographic variables. However, the major factors affecting prepayment rates are the prevailing market interest rates, related mortgage refinancing opportunities and competition. Generally, the level of prepayment activity directly affects the yield earned on those assets, as the payments received on the interest-earning assets will be reinvested at the prevailing market interest rate. Prepayment rates are generally inversely related to the prevailing market interest rate, thus, as market interest rates increase, prepayment rates tend to decrease.

Our results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, particularly those with respect to changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Short term interest rates generally increased in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The Federal Open Market (FOMC) increased the overnight lending rate 25 basis points at each of the four regularly scheduled meetings June, August, September and November of 2004. It is anticipated that the FOMC will continue to increase the overnight lending rate at the regularly scheduled meeting in December 2004, thus further increasing the short-term market interest rates. During the first quarter of fiscal 2005 the long term rates remained relatively low. With long term rates remaining low, in conjunction with increasing short-term interest rates, has flattened the market yield curve. If long term interest rates increase in the future at a slower pace than short term interest rate, the result is

likely to have a negative impact on our results of operations as our interest-bearing liabilities generally reprice off short term interest rates, while our interest-earning assets generally price off longer-term interest rates, then the spread between the rates we earn on our interest-rating assets and the rates we pay on out interest-bearing liabilities will decrease. If both short-and long-term interest rates increase by the same amount, and the shape of the yield curve does not change, the resulting environment is also likely to have a negative impact on our results of operations, as our interest-bearing-liabilities will reset to the current market interest rate faster than our interest-earning assets.

The prepayment activity decreased on our mortgage-related assets during the first quarter of 2005 when compared to the prepayment activity experienced during the first quarter of 2004. This decrease in prepayment activity was due to the stabilization of long-term interest rates during the second half of fiscal 2004, notwithstanding the decreases in long-term interest rates during fiscal 2004. The decrease is also due to the large volume of refinancing and modification activity that occurred during the declining interest rate environment of 2004. The mortgage-related assets resulting from this prepayment activity will not tend to prepay as fast, as their contractual interest rate is relatively low. The slowing of the prepayment activity in turn decreased the amount of related premium amortized on these assets during the first quarter of 2005. The decrease in the prepayment activity and the slowing of the premium amortization generally had a positive impact on our net interest income, net interest rate spread and net interest margin for the periods reported in 2005 when compared to the periods reported in 2004.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2005, we continued to grow our balance sheet with commercial loans, which is consistent with historical trends and our change from a thrift to a commercial bank charter. The increase in commercial loans, which inherently contain more credit risk than traditional one-to-four family residences, resulted in an increase in the provision for loan losses. The balance sheet growth was funded primarily with overnight FHLB advances. Customer deposits remained stable as competition in the market was increased due to increased market loan demand and new competition.

We expect to continue to grow our assets through the origination and occasional purchase of loans. The primary funding for our assets growth is expected to come from retail deposits, brokered certificates of deposit and overnight borrowings. We intend to grow deposits by offering desirable deposit products for our customers and to attract new depository relationships. We will continue to explore branch expansion opportunities in market areas that we believe present attractive opportunities for our strategic business model.

Financial Condition

The Company's total assets increased by $9.0 million to $320.9 million at September 30, 2004, as compared to $311.9 million at June 30, 2004. Loans increased by $9.3 million, or 3.7%, to $257.7 million due primarily to growth in commercial, residential real estate and consumer loans of $7.1 million, $1.6 million and $900,000, respectively. Loan growth has been funded primarily with an $8.8 million increase in FHLB short term advances.

The Company's stockholders' equity increased $689,000, to $26.6 million at September 30, 2004 from $26.0 million at June 30, 2004. The increase was primarily due to net income for the three-month period and the increase in market value of the investment portfolio, partially offset by cash dividends and stock repurchases.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

         Net Income. The Company's net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 was $793,000 as compared to the $692,000 earned during the same period of the prior year. The $101,000 increase was primarily due to asset growth and increased non-interest income, partially offset by the increase in the provision for loan losses.

         Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $136,000 to $2.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the $2.2 million earned during the same period of the prior year. The Company was able to increase its net interest income primarily through growth in the loan and investment portfolios. The increase was primarily due to the spread earned on the incremental difference between the $33.3 million increase in average interest-earning assets over the increase of $32.4 million in average interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by the 17 basis point decrease in average interest rate spread from 3.06% to 2.89% over the same period of the prior year.

         Interest Income. Interest income increased $376,000 to $4.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the $33.2 million, or 12.6% increase in average interest-earning assets, partially offset the 13 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on these assets, from 5.72% to 5.59% over the same period of the prior year. The decrease in average yield earned was primarily due to the general decline in interest rates during the prior fiscal year.

         Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $240,000 to $1.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase over the three-month period was primarily due to the $32.4 million, or 13.5% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities and a 3 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, from 2.67% to 2.70%.

The following table provides detailed information as to average balances, interest income/expenses and rates by major balance sheet category for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

         Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 was $150,000 as compared to $30,000 during the same period of the prior year. The increase over the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 was primarily due to commercial loan growth which inherently contains more credit risk. (See "Allowance for Loan Loss Activity" and "Nonperforming Assets").

         Non-interest Income. Noninterest income increased $240,000, or 53.3%, to $691,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, as compared to the $451,000 earned during the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to a $121,000 gain realized on the sale of equities, increases in banking service charges, dividends on equity investments and miscellaneous income. Banking service charges continues to increase due to the change in the mix of deposits from rate sensitive deposits (certificates of deposits) to more demand accounts resulting in more service charge opportunities.

         Non-interest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $116,000, or 7.6% to $1.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase in other non-interest expense was primarily due to increased compensation, occupancy and customer related expenses. Compensation expense increased due to the decrease in loan origination fees which are used to offset compensation expense. The decrease in loan origination fees from September 30, 2004 to the prior period was a result of the high amount of refinancing in the first quarter of fiscal 2004.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 was $428,000 as compared to the $389,000 recognized during the same period of the prior year.

Allowance for Loan Loss Activity

The Company regularly reviews its allowance for loan losses and makes adjustments to its balance based on management's analysis of the loan portfolio, the amount of non-performing and classified assets, as well as general economic conditions. Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers sufficient to provide for losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed internal estimates. In addition, the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by regulatory agencies, which can order the establishment of additional loss provisions. The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses over the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003:

The allowance for loan losses has been calculated based upon an evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the various types and quality of the Company's loans. Management considers such factors as the repayment status of a loan, the estimated net fair value of the underlying collateral, the borrower's intent and ability to repay the loan, local economic conditions, and the Company's historical loss ratios. The allowance for loan losses increased $260,000 to $2.1 million at September 30, 2004. At September 30, 2004, the Company had $2.2 million, or .68% of total assets adversely classified (substandard, doubtful or loss) as compared to adversely classified assets of $3.8 million, or 1.3% of total assets at September 30, 2003. The Company had classified $2.0 million of its assets as substandard and $45,000 as doubtful at September 30, 2004.

Nonperforming Assets

The ratios of nonperforming assets to total assets and nonperforming loans to net loans receivable are measures of asset quality. Nonperforming assets of the Company include nonaccruing loans, accruing loans delinquent/past maturity 90 days or more, and assets, which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The following table summarizes changes in the Company's level of nonperforming assets over selected time periods:

Loans past maturity/delinquent 90 days or more 9/30/04

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

The goal of the Company's asset/liability management strategy is to manage the interest rate sensitivity of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in order to maximize net interest income without exposing the Bank to an excessive level of interest-rate risk. The Company employs various strategies intended to manage the potential effect that changing interest rates may have on future operating results. The primary asset/liability management strategy has been to focus on matching the anticipated repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At times, however, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Company may determine to increase its interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain its net interest margin.

In an effort to manage the increased interest rate risk resulting from fixed rate lending, the Bank has utilized longer term (up to 10 year maturities) FHLB advances, subject to early redemption, and has promoted long term CDs to fund a portion of the fixed-rate residential loan originations and to extend the average maturity of the CD portfolio. Other elements of the Company's current asset/liability strategy include: (i) increasing originations of commercial real estate and commercial business loans, which typically provide higher yields and shorter repricing periods, but inherently increased credit risk; (ii) increasing loans receivable through the origination of adjustable-rate residential loans, (iii) expanding the consumer loan portfolio, (iv) limiting the price volatility of the investment portfolio by maintaining a weighted average maturity of less than five years, (v) actively soliciting less rate-sensitive deposits, and (vi) offering competitively priced money market accounts and CD's with maturities of up to five years. The degree to which each segment of the strategy is achieved will affect profitability and exposure to interest-rate risk.

The Company continues to generate long term, fixed rate residential loans. During the first three months of fiscal 2005, fixed rate residential loan production totaled $4.8 million as compared to $11.8 million during the same period of the prior year. At September 30, 2004 the fixed rate residential loan portfolio was $82.5 million with a weighted average maturity of 187 months as compared to $78.0 million at September 30, 2003 with a weighted average maturity of 193 months. At September 30, 2004, fixed rate loans with remaining maturities in excess of 10 years totaled $73.8 million, or 28.4% of loans receivable as compared to $64.2 million, or 27.2% of loans receivable at September 30, 2003. The Company originated $7.7 million of fixed rate commercial loans during the three month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $6.1 million during the same period of the prior year. The Company originated $19.7 million in adjustable rate commercial loans during the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 as compared to $21.9 million during the same period of the prior year. At September 30, 2004, CDs with original terms of two years or more totaled $40.8 million as compared to $40.5 million at June 30, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary potential sources of funds include deposit growth, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, amortization and prepayment of loan principal and interest, investment maturities and sales, and ongoing operating results. While the scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows, FHLB advance redemptions and loan and security prepayment rates are significantly influenced by factors outside of the Bank's control, including general economic conditions and market competition. The Bank has primarily relied on FHLB advances as a source for funding cash or liquidity needs.

The Company uses its liquidity resources principally to satisfy ongoing cash requirements, which include funding loan commitments, funding maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, maintaining liquidity, funding maturing or called FHLB advances, purchasing investments, and meeting operating expenses. At September 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding commitments to fund approximately $41.8 million in mortgage and non-mortgage loans. These commitments are expected to be funded through existing cash balances, cash flow from normal operations and, if needed, FHLB advances. At September 30, 2004, the Bank had pledged its residential real estate loan portfolio with FHLB with available credit of approximately $93.2 million, of which $68.0 million had been advanced. In addition, the Bank has the ability to pledge several of its loan portfolios including commercial real estate, home equity and commercial business, which could provide additional borrowing capacity of approximately $59.6 at September 30, 2004 as compared to $56.4 million at June 30, 2004. Management believes that these and other liquidity resources will be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs.

Regulatory Capital

The Company's subsidiary, the Bank, is subject to minimum regulatory capital requirements equal to a leverage ratio (or core capital) of 4.0% of average total assets, a tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0% and a risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. At September 30, 2004, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with leverage capital of $24.0 million (7.8% of average total assets), tier I capital of $24.0 million (10.7% of risk-based assets) and risk-based capital of $26.2 million (11.7% of risk-weighted assets). Under current regulatory guidelines, the Bank is considered to be "well-capitalized".
