The initial interest rate is expected to be 6.30% (based on March 9, 2005 LIBOR). Proceeds are intended to fund the Bank 10 acquisition and general corporate purposes.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Outlook: Management anticipates that the acquisition of Bank 10 and the issuance of TPS will facilitate growth. The Company expects to remain compliant with all regulatory capital requirements.
Key Risks:
- Local Economic Dependence: Profitability is heavily dependent on the economic conditions of central and west-central Missouri. Deterioration in local real estate values or unemployment could adversely affect loan quality and profitability.
- Interest Rate Risk: Net interest income is sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. A 200 basis point change in rates could alter annual net interest income by up to 3.61%.
- Competition: Intense competition from other banks, credit unions, and non-bank financial institutions for deposits and loans.
- Regulatory Changes: Changes in banking laws, capital requirements, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could increase operating costs or limit activities.
- Asset Quality: The loan portfolio is concentrated in Missouri; an increase in non-performing assets could materially impact financial condition.
Internal Controls: Management and the independent auditor (KPMG LLP) concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004.
