This document (including information incorporated by reference) contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company's management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "may," "will," "would," "could," "should" or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.
The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, the following:
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning the Company and its
1
business, including other factors that could materially affect the Company's financial results, is included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company
Effective Tuesday, October 9, 2001, Landmark Bancshares, Inc., the holding company for Landmark Federal Savings Bank, and MNB Bancshares, Inc., the holding company for Security National Bank, completed their merger into Landmark Merger Company, which immediately changed its name to Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (the "Merger"). In addition, Landmark Federal Savings Bank merged with Security National Bank and the resulting bank changed its name to Landmark National Bank (the "Bank"), which is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant").
The Company is the accounting successor to the prior Landmark Bancshares, Inc. Landmark Bancshares, Inc. filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. The information presented in this Form 10-K presents information on behalf of the Company and, commencing October 9, 2001, MNB Bancshares, Inc. as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The information presented for periods prior to October 1, 2001 are Landmark Bancshares, Inc.'s historical financial information.
The Company has a fiscal year ending on December 31. Therefore, the Company has elected to file this Form 10-K for the transition period from October 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001 with audited consolidated financial information.
The Company is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Currently, the Company's business consists solely of the ownership of the Bank, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). The Company is also subject to various reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Pursuant to the Merger, the Bank succeeded to all of the assets and liabilities of Landmark Federal Savings Bank and Security National Bank. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate consumer, commercial, multi-family, and one-to-four family residential mortgage loans in the Bank's principal lending areas, consisting primarily of Manhattan, Auburn, Dodge City, Garden City, Great Bend, Hoisington, LaCrosse, Topeka, Osage City and Wamego, Kansas and the surrounding communities in Riley, Barton, Finney, Ford, Pottawatomie, Rush, Shawnee and Osage Counties in Kansas. Since the Merger, the Bank has focused on originating greater numbers and amounts of consumer, commercial, and agricultural loans. Additionally, greater emphasis has been placed on diversification of the deposit mix through expansion of core deposit accounts such as checking, savings, and money market accounts. The Bank has also diversified its geographical markets as a result of the Merger, with its main office in Manhattan, Kansas and branch offices in central and southwestern Kansas. The Company continues to explore opportunities to expand its banking markets through mergers and acquisitions, as well as branching opportunities.
The results of operations of the Bank are dependent primarily upon net interest income and, to a lesser extent, upon other income derived from loan servicing fees and customer deposit services. Additional expenses of the Bank include general and administrative expenses such as salaries, employee benefits, federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing, occupancy and related expenses.
Deposits of the Bank are insured by either the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") or the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") up to the maximum amount allowable under applicable federal law and regulation. The Bank is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), as the chartering authority for national banks, and the FDIC, as the administrator of the SAIF and the BIF. The Bank is also subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System with respect to reserves required to be maintained against deposits and certain other matters. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City and the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") of Topeka.
The Company's executive office is located at 800 Poyntz Avenue, Manhattan, Kansas 66502. Its telephone number is (785) 565-2000.

Market Area
The Bank's home office is located at 800 Poyntz Avenue, Manhattan, Kansas.
The Bank's primary deposit gathering and lending market consists of the Kansas counties of Riley, Barton, Finney, Ford, Osage, Pottawatomie, Rush and Shawnee Counties, Kansas. Riley County's economy is significantly influenced by employment at Fort Riley Military Base and Kansas State University, the second largest university in Kansas, which is located in Manhattan. The counties of Ford, Finney, Barton and Rush were founded on agriculture, which continues to play a major role in the economy. Predominant activities involve crop production, feed lot operations, and food processing. Dodge City is known as the "Cowboy Capital of the World" and maintains a significant tourism industry. In the central part of Kansas, the oil industry is also prevalent. The southwestern market area is dependent upon the agricultural, beef packing, and oil and gas industries. Shawnee County's economy is strongly influenced by the City of Topeka and several major private firms and public institutions. Osage County is primarily agricultural with small private industries and business firms.
Competition
The Bank faces strong competition both in attracting deposits and making real estate and other loans. Its most direct competition for deposits comes from commercial banks and other savings institutions located in its principal market areas, including many large financial institutions which have greater financial and marketing resources available to them. The ability of the Bank to attract and retain deposits generally depends on its ability to provide a rate of return, liquidity and risk comparable to that offered by competing investment opportunities. The Bank competes for loans principally through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and the efficiency and quality of services it provides borrowers. Additionally, competition may increase as a result of the continuing reduction on restrictions on the interstate operations of financial institutions. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which became effective in 2000, securities firms and insurance companies that elect to become financial holding companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act may significantly change the competitive environment in which the Company and the Bank conduct business. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties.
Employees
At December 31, 2001, the Bank had a total of 125 employees (117 full time equivalent employees). The Company has no direct employees. Employees are provided with a comprehensive benefits program, including basic and major medical insurance, life and disability insurance, sick leave, an employee stock ownership plan and a 401(k) profit sharing plan. Employees are not represented by any union or collective bargaining group and the Bank considers its employee relations to be good.
Lending Activities
General. The Company strives to provide each market area it serves a full range of financial products and services to small and medium sized businesses and to consumers. The Company targets owner-operated businesses and utilizes Small Business Administration and Farm Services Administration lending as a part of its product mix. Each market has an established loan committee which has authority to approve credits, within established guidelines. Concentrations in excess of those guidelines must be approved by either a corporate loan committee comprised of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Credit Risk Manager, two other senior commercial lenders or the bank's board of directors. When lending to an entity, the Company generally obtains a guaranty from the principals of the entity. The loan mix is subject to the discretion of the Bank's board of directors and the demands of the local marketplace.
Residential loans are priced and originated following underwriting standards that are consistent with guidelines established by the major buyers in the secondary market. Commercial and consumer loans generally are issued at or above the national prime rate. The Company has no potential negative amortization loans. The following is a brief description of each major category of the Company's lending activity.
Real Estate Lending. Commercial, residential, construction and multi-family real estate loans represent the largest class of loans of the Company. Generally, residential loans retained in portfolio are variable rate with adjustment periods of five years or less and amortization periods of over either 15 or 30 years. Commercial real
3
estate loans, including agricultural real estate, generally have amortization periods over 15 or 20 years. The Company has a security interest in the real estate. The Company also generates long term fixed rate residential real estate loans which are sold in the secondary market. Commercial real estate, construction and multi-family loans are generally limited, by policy, to 80% of the appraised value of the property. Commercial real estate, including agricultural real estate loans, also are supported by an analysis demonstrating the borrower's ability to repay. Residential loans that exceed 80% of the appraised value of the real estate generally are required, by policy, to be supported by private mortgage insurance, although on occasion the Company will retain non-conforming residential loans to known customers at premium pricing.
Commercial Lending. Loans in this category include loans to service, retail, wholesale and light manufacturing businesses, including agricultural operations. Commercial loans are made based on the financial strength and repayment ability of the borrower, as well as the collateral securing the loans. The Company targets owner-operated businesses as its customers and makes lending decisions based upon a cash flow analysis of the borrower as well as a collateral analysis. Accounts receivable loans and loans for inventory purchases are generally on a one-year renewable term and loans for equipment generally have a term of seven years or less. The Company generally takes a blanket security interest in all assets of the borrower. Equipment loans are generally limited to 75% of the cost or appraised value of the equipment. Inventory loans are generally limited to 50% of the value of the inventory, and accounts receivable loans are generally limited to 75% of a predetermined eligible base. The Company provides short-term credit for operating loans and intermediate term loans for farm product, livestock and machinery purchases and other agricultural improvements. Farm product loans have generally a one-year term and machinery and equipment and breeding livestock loans generally have five to seven year terms. Extension of credit is based upon the borrower's ability to repay, as well as the existence of federal guarantees and crop insurance coverage. These loans are generally secured by a blanket lien on livestock, equipment, feed, hay, grain and growing crops. Equipment and breeding livestock loans are generally limited to 75% of appraised value.
Consumer and Other Lending. Loans classified as consumer and other loans include automobile, boat, student loans, home improvement and home equity loans, the latter two secured principally through second mortgages. The Company generally takes a purchase money security interest in collateral for which it provides the original financing. The terms of the loans typically range from one to five years, depending upon the use of the proceeds, and generally range from 75% to 90% of the value of the collateral. The majority of these loans are installment loans with fixed interest rates.
Loan Origination and Processing
Loan originations are derived from a number of sources. Residential loan originations result from real estate broker referrals, mortgage loan brokers, direct solicitation by the Bank's loan officers, present savers and borrowers, builders, attorneys, walk in customers and, in some instances, other lenders. Residential loan applications, whether originated through the Bank or through mortgage brokers, are underwritten and closed based on the same standards, which generally meet secondary market guidelines. Consumer and commercial real estate loan originations emanate from many of the same sources. The average loan is less than $500,000.
The loan underwriting procedures followed by the Bank conform to regulatory specifications and are designed to assess both the borrower's ability to make principal and interest payments and the value of any assets or property serving as collateral for the loan. Generally, as part of the process, a loan officer meets with each applicant to obtain the appropriate employment and financial information as well as any other required loan information. The bank then obtains reports with respect to the borrower's credit record, and orders, on real estate loans, and reviews an appraisal of any collateral for the loan (prepared for the Bank through an independent appraiser).
Loan applicants are notified promptly of the decision of the bank. Prior to closing any long-term loan, the borrower must provide proof of fire and casualty insurance on the property serving as collateral, and such insurance must be maintained during the full term of the loan. Title insurance is required on loans collateralized by real property.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
Financial institutions and their holding companies are extensively regulated under federal and state law. As a result, the growth and earnings performance of the Company can be affected not only by management decisions and general economic conditions, but also by the requirements of applicable state and federal statutes and regulations and the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The effect of applicable statutes, regulations and regulatory policies can be significant, and cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty.
Federal and state laws and regulations generally applicable to financial institutions, such as the Company and its subsidiary, regulate, among other things, the scope of business, investments, reserves against deposits, capital levels relative to operations, the nature and amount of collateral for loans, the establishment of branches, mergers, consolidations and dividends. The system of supervision and regulation applicable to the Company and its subsidiary establishes a comprehensive framework for their respective operations and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC's deposit insurance funds and the depositors, rather than the shareholders, of financial institutions.
The following is a summary of the material elements of the regulatory framework that applies to the Company and its subsidiary. It does not describe all of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that apply to the Company and its subsidiaries, nor does it restate all of the requirements of the statutes, regulations and regulatory policies that are described. As such, the following is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable statutes, regulations and regulatory policies. Any change in applicable law, regulations or regulatory policies may have a material effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Recent Regulatory Developments
The terrorist attacks in September, 2001, have impacted the financial services industry and have already led to federal legislation that attempts to address certain related issues involving financial institutions. On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed into law the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "USA PATRIOT Act"). Among its other provisions, the USA PATRIOT Act requires each financial institution: (i) to establish an anti-money laundering program; (ii) to establish due diligence policies, procedures and controls with respect to its private banking accounts and correspondent banking accounts involving foreign individuals and certain foreign banks; and (iii) to avoid establishing, maintaining, administering, or managing correspondent accounts in the United States for, or on behalf of, foreign banks that do not have a physical presence in any country. The USA PATRIOT Act also requires the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe, by regulations to be issued jointly with the federal banking regulators and certain other agencies, minimum standards that financial institutions must follow to verify the identity of customers, both foreign and domestic, when a customer opens an account. In addition, the USA PATRIOT Act contains a provision encouraging cooperation among financial institutions, regulatory authorities and law enforcement authorities with respect to individuals, entities and organizations engaged in, or reasonably suspected of engaging in, terrorist acts or money laundering activities. At this time, the Company is unable to determine whether the provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act will have a material impact on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company
General. The Company, as the sole shareholder of the Bank, is a bank holding company. As a bank holding company, the Company is registered with, and is subject to regulation by, the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (the "BHCA"). In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank in circumstances where the Company might not otherwise do so. Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve. The Company is also required to file with the Federal Reserve periodic reports of the Company's operations and such additional information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries as the Federal Reserve may require.
5
Investments and Activities. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain Federal Reserve approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after the acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of the other bank or bank holding company (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank; or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. Subject to certain conditions (including certain deposit concentration limits established by the BHCA), the Federal Reserve may allow a bank holding company to acquire banks located in any state of the United States without regard to whether the acquisition is prohibited by the law of the state in which the target bank is located. In approving interstate acquisitions, however, the Federal Reserve is required to give effect to applicable state law limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the acquiring bank holding company and its insured depository institution affiliates in the state in which the target bank is located (provided that those limits do not discriminate against out-of-state depository institutions or their holding companies) and state laws which require that the target bank have been in existence for a minimum period of time (not to exceed five years) before being acquired by an out-of-state bank holding company.
The BHCA also generally prohibits the Company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging in any business other than that of banking, managing and controlling banks or furnishing services to banks and their subsidiaries. This general prohibition is subject to a number of exceptions. The principal exception allows bank holding companies to engage in, and to own shares of companies engaged in, certain businesses found by the Federal Reserve to be "so closely related to banking . . . as to be a proper incident thereto." Under current regulations of the Federal Reserve, this authority would permit the Company to engage in a variety of banking-related businesses, including the operation of a thrift, sales and consumer finance, equipment leasing, the operation of a computer service bureau (including software development), and mortgage banking and brokerage. Additionally, bank holding companies that meet certain eligibility requirements prescribed by the BHCA and elect to operate as financial holding companies may engage in, or own shares in companies engaged in, a wider range of nonbanking activities, including securities and insurance activities and any other activity that the Federal Reserve, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines by regulation or order is financial in nature, incidental to any such financial activity or complementary to any such financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. The BHCA generally does not place territorial restrictions on the domestic activities of non-bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies or financial holding companies. As of the date of this filing, the Company has neither applied for nor received approval to operate as a financial holding company.
Federal law also prohibits any person or company from acquiring "control" of a bank or bank holding company without prior notice to the appropriate federal bank regulator. "Control" is defined in certain cases as the acquisition of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of a bank or bank holding company.
Capital Requirements. Bank holding companies are required to maintain minimum levels of capital in accordance with Federal Reserve capital adequacy guidelines. If capital falls below minimum guideline levels, a bank holding company, among other things, may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses.
The Federal Reserve's capital guidelines establish the following minimum regulatory capital requirements for bank holding companies: (i) a risk-based requirement expressed as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets; and (ii) a leverage requirement expressed as a percentage of total assets. The risk-based requirement consists of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4%. The leverage requirement consists of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly rated companies, with a minimum requirement of 4% for all others. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital consists primarily of permanent stockholders' equity less intangible assets (other than certain loan servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships). Total capital consists primarily of Tier 1 capital plus certain other debt and equity instruments which do not qualify as Tier 1 capital and a portion of the company's allowance for loan and lease losses.
The risk-based and leverage standards described above are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual banking organizations. For example, the Federal Reserve's capital guidelines contemplate that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk, or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities. Further, any banking organization experiencing or
6
anticipating significant growth would be expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions ( i.e. , Tier 1 capital less all intangible assets), well above the minimum levels.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company had regulatory capital in excess of the Federal Reserve's minimum requirements, with a risk-based capital ratio of 19% and a leverage ratio of 11%.
Dividends. The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") allows the Company to pay dividends only out of its surplus (as defined and computed in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL) or if the Company has no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Additionally, the Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement with regard to the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies. The policy statement provides that a bank holding company should not pay cash dividends which exceed its net income or which can only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding company's financial health, such as by borrowing. The Federal Reserve also possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies.
Federal Securities Regulation. The Company's common stock is registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Consequently, the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading and other restrictions and requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.
The Bank
General. The Bank is a national bank, chartered by the OCC under the National Bank Act. The Bank is a member of the BIF (but a portion of its deposits are deemed to be insured by the SAIF). The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System. As a federally-insured national bank, the Bank is subject to the examination, supervision, reporting and enforcement requirements of the OCC, as the chartering authority for national banks, and the FDIC, as administrator of the BIF and the SAIF. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions.
Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their respective levels of capital and results of supervisory evaluations. Institutions classified as well-capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered healthy pay the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (as defined by the FDIC) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premium. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period.
During the year ended December 31, 2001, BIF and SAIF assessments ranged from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits. For the semi-annual assessment period beginning January 1, 2002, BIF and SAIF assessment rates will continue to range from 0% of deposits to 0.27% of deposits.
The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution if the FDIC determines, after a hearing, that the institution: (i) has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices; (ii) is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations; or (iii) has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed in writing by, or written agreement with, the FDIC. The FDIC may also suspend deposit insurance temporarily during the hearing process for a permanent termination of insurance if the institution has no tangible capital. Management of the Bank is not aware of any activity or condition that could result in termination of the deposit insurance of the Bank.
FICO Assessments. Since 1987, a portion of the deposit insurance assessments paid by SAIF members has been used to cover interest payments due on the outstanding obligations of the Financing Corporation ("FICO"). FICO was created in 1987 to finance the recapitalization of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, the SAIF's predecessor insurance fund. As a result of federal legislation enacted in 1996, beginning as of January 1, 1997, both BIF members and SAIF members became subject to assessments to cover the interest payments on outstanding FICO obligations until the final maturity of such obligations in 2019. These FICO assessments are in addition to amounts assessed by the FDIC for deposit insurance. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the FICO assessment rate for BIF and SAIF members was approximately 0.02% of deposits.
7
Supervisory Assessments. All national banks are required to pay supervisory assessments to the OCC to fund the operations of the OCC. The amount of the assessment is calculated using a formula which takes into account the bank's size and its supervisory condition (as determined by the composite rating assigned to the bank as a result of its most recent OCC examination). During the transition period from October 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001, the Bank paid supervisory assessments to the OCC totaling $4,000.
Capital Requirements. The OCC has established the following minimum capital standards for national banks, such as the Bank: (i) a leverage requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% for the most highly-rated banks with a minimum requirement of at least 4% for all others; and (ii) a risk-based capital requirement consisting of a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8% and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 4%. For purposes of these capital standards, Tier 1 capital and total capital consist of substantially the same components as Tier 1 capital and total capital under the Federal Reserve's capital guidelines for bank holding companies ( see "The CompanyCapital Requirements").
The capital requirements described above are minimum requirements. Higher capital levels will be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profiles of individual institutions. For example, the regulations of the OCC provide that additional capital may be required to take adequate account of, among other things, interest rate risk or the risks posed by concentrations of credit, nontraditional activities or securities trading activities.
Further, federal law and regulations provide various incentives to financial institutions to maintain regulatory capital at levels in excess of minimum regulatory requirements. For example, a financial institution that is "well-capitalized" may qualify for exemptions from prior notice or application requirements otherwise applicable to certain types of activities and may qualify for expedited processing of other required notices or applications. Additionally, one of the criteria which determines a bank holding company's eligibility to operate as a financial holding company is a requirement that all of its financial institution subsidiaries be "well-capitalized". Under the regulations of the OCC, in order to be "well-capitalized" a financial institution must maintain a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 10% or greater, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 6% or greater and a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 5% or greater.
Federal law also provides the federal banking regulators with broad power to take prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. The extent of the regulators' powers depends on whether the institution in question is "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized," in each case as defined by regulation. Depending upon the capital category to which an institution is assigned, the regulators' corrective powers include: (i) requiring the institution to submit a capital restoration plan; (ii) limiting the institution's asset growth and restricting its activities; (iii) requiring the institution to issue additional capital stock (including additional voting stock) or to be acquired; (iv) restricting transactions between the institution and its affiliates; (v) restricting the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; (vi) ordering a new election of directors of the institution; (vii) requiring that senior executive officers or directors be dismissed; (viii) prohibiting the institution from accepting deposits from correspondent banks; (ix) requiring the institution to divest certain subsidiaries; (x) prohibiting the payment of principal or interest on subordinated debt; and (xi) ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.
As of December 31, 2001: (i) the Bank was not subject to a directive from the OCC to increase its capital to an amount in excess of the minimum regulatory capital requirements; (ii) the Bank exceeded its minimum regulatory capital requirements under OCC capital adequacy guidelines; and (iii) the Bank was "well-capitalized", as defined by OCC regulations.
Dividends. The National Bank Act imposes limitations on the amount of dividends that may be paid by a national bank, such as the Bank. Generally, a national bank may pay dividends out of its undivided profits, in such amounts and at such times as the bank's board of directors deems prudent. Without prior OCC approval, however, a national bank may not pay dividends in any calendar year which, in the aggregate, exceed the bank's year-to-date net income plus the bank's retained net income for the two preceding years.
The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding company is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations, and a financial institution generally is prohibited from paying any dividends if, following payment thereof, the institution would be undercapitalized. As described above, the Bank exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines as of December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, approximately $540,000 was available to be paid as dividends to the Company by the Bank. Notwithstanding the availability of funds for dividends, however, the OCC
8
may prohibit the payment of any dividends by the Bank if the OCC determines such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
Insider Transactions. The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by federal law on extensions of credit to the Company and its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and its subsidiaries and the acceptance of the stock or other securities of the Company or its subsidiaries as collateral for loans. Certain limitations and reporting requirements are also placed on extensions of credit by the Bank to its directors and officers, to directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, to principal stockholders of the Company, and to "related interests" of such directors, officers and principal stockholders. In addition, federal law and regulations may affect the terms upon which any person becoming a director or officer of the Company or one of its subsidiaries or a principal stockholder of the Company may obtain credit from banks with which the Bank maintains a correspondent relationship.
Safety and Soundness Standards. The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines which establish operational and managerial standards to promote the safety and soundness of federally insured depository institutions. The guidelines set forth standards for internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, asset quality and earnings.
In general, the safety and soundness guidelines prescribe the goals to be achieved in each area, and each institution is responsible for establishing its own procedures to achieve those goals. If an institution fails to comply with any of the standards set forth in the guidelines, the institution's primary federal regulator may require the institution to submit a plan for achieving and maintaining compliance. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan, or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan that has been accepted by its primary federal regulator, the regulator is required to issue an order directing the institution to cure the deficiency. Until the deficiency cited in the regulator's order is cured, the regulator may restrict the institution's rate of growth, require the institution to increase its capital, restrict the rates the institution pays on deposits or require the institution to take any action the regulator deems appropriate under the circumstances. Noncompliance with the standards established by the safety and soundness guidelines may also constitute grounds for other enforcement action by the federal banking regulators, including cease and desist orders and civil money penalty assessments.
Branching Authority. National banks headquartered in Kansas, such as the Bank, have the same branching rights in Kansas as banks chartered under Kansas law. Kansas law grants Kansas-chartered banks the authority to establish branches anywhere in the State of Kansas, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.
Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act"), both state and national banks are allowed to establish interstate branch networks through acquisitions of other banks, subject to certain conditions, including certain limitations on the aggregate amount of deposits that may be held by the surviving bank and all of its insured depository institution affiliates. The establishment of new interstate branches or the acquisition of individual branches of a bank in another state (rather than the acquisition of an out-of-state bank in its entirety) is allowed by the Riegle-Neal Act only if specifically authorized by state law. The legislation allowed individual states to "opt-out" of certain provisions of the Riegle-Neal Act by enacting appropriate legislation prior to June 1, 1997. Kansas banks have the authority to engage in interstate mergers to the extent permitted by the Riegle-Neal Act.
Financial Subsidiaries. Under Federal law and OCC regulations national banks are authorized to engage, through "financial subsidiaries," in any activity that is permissible for a financial holding company (as described above) and any activity that the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Federal Reserve, determines is financial in nature or incidental to any such financial activity, except (i) insurance underwriting, (ii) real estate development or real estate investment activities (unless otherwise permitted by law), (iii) insurance company portfolio investments and (iv) merchant banking. The authority of a national bank to invest in a financial subsidiary is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, requirements that the bank must be well-managed and well-capitalized (after deducting from capital the bank's outstanding investments in financial subsidiaries). The Bank has neither applied for nor received approval to establish any financial subsidiaries.
Federal Reserve System. Federal Reserve regulations, as presently in effect, require depository institutions to maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts), as follows: for transaction accounts aggregating $41.3 million or less, the reserve requirement is 3% of total transaction accounts; and for transaction accounts aggregating in excess of $41.3 million, the reserve
9
requirement is $1.239 million plus 10% of the aggregate amount of total transaction accounts in excess of $41.3 million. The first $5.7 million of otherwise reservable balances are exempted from the reserve requirements. These reserve requirements are subject to annual adjustment by the Federal Reserve. The Bank is in compliance with the foregoing requirements.
Statistical Data. The statistical data required by Guide 3 of the Guides for Preparation and Filing of Reports and Registration Statements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is set forth in the following pages. This data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related notes and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as set forth in the 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders (attached hereto as Exhibit 13). All dollars in the tables are expressed in thousands.
10
I. Distribution of Assets, Liabilities, and Stockholders' Equity; Interest Rates and Interest Differentials
The average balance sheets are incorporated by reference from the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders (attached as Exhibit 13.1). The following table describes the extent to which changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities affected the Company's interest income and expense during the periods indicated. The table distinguishes between (i) changes attributable to rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume), (ii) changes attributable to volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), and (iii) net change (the sum of the previous columns). The net changes attributable to the combined effect of volume and rate, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Prior to the Merger, the Company's independent auditor was Regier Carr & Monroe, L.L.P. ("Regier"). At the time of the Merger, which occurred after the Company's last completed fiscal year, Landmark Bancorp, Inc., as the successor company to the Company, engaged KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The Company notified Regier that the auditor-client relationship has ceased upon effectiveness of the Merger. The decision to engage KPMG was approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The reports of Regier on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and the reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the two fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, and the interim period of October 1, 2000 through the effective date of the merger, there were no disagreements with Regier on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Regier, would have caused Regier to make reference to the matter in their report.
In connection with the audits of the Company's consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999:

ARTICLE 9
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The business and affairs of the corporation shall be under the direction of a board of directors. The number of directors constituting the entire board of directors shall not be less than eight nor more than fifteen as fixed from time to time by resolution of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the number of directors which immediately prior to such proposed change had been fixed, in the manner prescribed herein, by the board of directors of the corporation, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the number of directors shall not be reduced as to shorten the term of any director at the time in office, and PROVIDED FURTHER, that the number of directors constituting the entire board of directors shall be ten until otherwise fixed as described immediately above.
A. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS. The directors of the corporation shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the entire board of directors permits with the term of office of one class expiring each year. Directors of Class I shall hold office for an initial term expiring at the 2002 annual meeting, directors of Class II shall hold office for an initial term expiring at the 2003 annual meeting and directors of Class III shall hold office for an initial term expiring at the 2004 annual meeting.

In the event of any change in the authorized number of directors, each director then continuing to serve as such shall continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a
member until the expiration of his or her current term, or his or her prior resignation, disqualification, disability or removal. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of directors. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the corporation so provide.
B. NEW DIRECTORSHIPS; VACANCIES. Any vacancies on the board of directors for any reason, and any directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, may be filled by only by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. Any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen and until their successors shall be elected and qualified. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease in the number of directors may be allocated to any such class the board of directors selects in its discretion.
C. REMOVAL. A director may be removed only for cause as determined by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (considered for this purpose as one class) cast at an annual meeting of stockholders or at a special meeting of the stockholders called expressly for that purpose. Cause for removal shall be deemed to exist only if the director whose removal is proposed has been convicted of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such director's duty to the corporation and such adjudication is no longer subject to direct appeal.
ARTICLE 10

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
of
SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
of
Landmark Bancorp, Inc.
Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
Landmark Bancorp, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 thereof, DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:
That pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the said Corporation, the said Board of Directors on September 27, 2001, adopted the following resolution creating a series of 6,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock":
RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation be and hereby is created, and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows:
SERIES A JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
1. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. There shall be a series of Preferred Stock that shall be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock," and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 6,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to less than the number of shares then issued and outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation.
2. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTION.
(A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any
shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking prior and
superior to the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with
respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of shares of any class or series
of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock in respect thereof, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and
if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the first business day of
January, April, July and October in each year (each such date being referred to
herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction
of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per
one one-thousandth of a share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater
of (a) $0.10 or (b) the Adjustment Number (as defined below) times the aggregate
per share amount of all cash dividends, and the Adjustment Number times the
aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other
distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a
subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or
otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Corporation (the "Common Stock") since the immediately preceding Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The "Adjustment Number" shall initially be
1,000. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after February 1, 2002,
(i) declare and pay any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) combine the
outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case
the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event.
(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock).
(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be
cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.
3. VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:
(A) Each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.
(B) Except as required by law, by Section 3(C) and by Section 10 hereof, holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.
(C) If, at the time of any annual meeting of stockholders for the
election of directors, the equivalent of six quarterly dividends (whether or not
consecutive) payable on any share or shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock are in default, the number of directors constituting the Board
of Directors of the Company shall be increased by two. In addition to voting
together with the holders of Common Stock for the election of other directors of
the Company, the holders of record of the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class to the exclusion of the holders of
Common Stock, shall be entitled at said meeting of stockholders (and at each
subsequent annual meeting of stockholders), unless all dividends in arrears on
the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock have been paid or declared and
set apart for payment prior thereto, to vote for the election of two directors
of the Company, the holders of any Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
being entitled to cast a number of votes per share of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock as is specified in paragraph (A) of this Section
3. Each such additional director shall serve until his successor shall be
elected and shall qualify, or until his right to hold such office terminates
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(C). If and when such default shall
cease to exist, the holders of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
shall be divested of the foregoing special voting rights, subject to revesting
in the event of each and every subsequent like default in payments of dividends.
Upon the termination of the foregoing special voting rights, the terms of office
of all persons who may have been elected directors pursuant to said special
voting rights shall forthwith terminate, and the number of directors
constituting the Board of Directors shall be reduced by two. The voting rights
granted by this Section 3(C) shall be in addition to any other voting rights
granted to the holders of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in
this Section 3.
4. CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS.
(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions
payable on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in
Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends
and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the
Corporation shall not:
(i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock;
(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; or
(iii) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or to such holders and holders of any such shares ranking on a parity therewith, upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.
(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.
5. REACQUIRED SHARES. Any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their retirement become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to any conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.
6. LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. (A) Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, voluntary or otherwise, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have received an amount per one thousandth of a share (the "Series A Liquidation Preference") equal to the greater of (i) $60.00 plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment, or (ii) the Adjustment Number times the per share amount of all cash and other property to be distributed in respect of the Common Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
(B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other classes and series of stock of the Corporation, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock in respect thereof, then the assets available for such distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.
(C) Neither the merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with another corporation nor the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into or with the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section 6.
7. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which the outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged.
8. NO REDEMPTION. Shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption by the Company.
9. RANKING. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise, and shall rank senior to the Common Stock as to such matters.
10. AMENDMENT. At any time that any shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.
11. FRACTIONAL SHARES. Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share that shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate this 22nd day of January, 2002.

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS, CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS
The calendar year 2001 was an exciting year for Landmark Bancorp, Inc. The year was marked by growth, diversification and organizational change as your company continued to evolve as a vibrant, progressive financial organization providing community banking services to the ten Kansas communities we now serve. Financial strength also describes Landmark Bancorp, Inc., with total assets of $350 million and total stockholders' equity of $40 million. This dynamic pattern of growth and financial strength was made possible by the merger of Landmark Bancshares, Inc. and MNB Bancshares, Inc. in October 2001. This merger of two outstanding community banking organizations has catapulted us into a statewide banking presence with the capital and resources to better serve our customers and create value for you, our stockholder. In the space below I will outline the opportunities and the challenges that lie before us and why I am so optimistic about the future of your company.
People are the primary strength of any organization. Our associates have come together to work hard as we have begun the assimilation and melding of two banks into one integrated organization focused on delivering the same outstanding customer service and products our customers have come to expect in a community banking environment. In spite of the significant changes being implemented in both operational systems and procedures, our associates have worked tirelessly to make these changes transparent to our customers. Not only have they succeeded in making the changes transparent, they have enthusiastically endorsed and promoted the combination of the two banks. This has translated into outstanding customer acceptance and enthusiasm of the combination with very little of the negative reaction often seen during the merger of financial institutions. I expect this enthusiasm will continue as we finish implementing the changes associated with the assimilation of these two banks.
The dramatic changes that took place in the financial markets in 2001 created a unique environment for financial institutions. Interest rates declined at an unprecedented rate as the Federal Reserve took aggressive monetary action to forestall a possible economic downturn and recession. This led to an extremely active period of residential mortgage refinancing. Your company was able to take advantage of this activity due to our stature as a leading residential mortgage lender within our communities. This led to very substantial gains on sale of loans for the calendar year of 2001. However, as we have focused on repositioning the balance sheet to minimize our interest rate risk, we have not retained a significant amount of the long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans in portfolio as they were originated this past year. This has contributed to a decline in loans as the refinanced loans that were previously retained in portfolio have paid off. Our lending staff is concentrating and working hard to replace these loans with commercial and consumer loans. These loans should not only have higher yields, but will also reprice much more frequently and reduce the interest rate risk that has been inherent upon our balance sheet due to the previous level of fixed rate residential loans. This transition of loan types will ultimately contribute to greater profitability that will be sustainable over the entire interest rate cycle. However, a slowing economy could have a negative impact on our expectations for loan growth in 2002. Furthermore, it could have an adverse impact on the outstanding asset quality we now enjoy. Your management team continues to apply rigorous credit underwriting standards to minimize any adverse implications that our loan portfolio might experience as a result of an economic downturn.
The decline in interest rates mentioned above along with the attendant refinancing on all types of loans has contributed to a large amount of liquidity in the banking system. This systemic liquidity level has been further fueled by declines in the equity markets that have led to a resurgence in bank deposits. This liquidity is contributing to fierce competitive pressures within the banking industry as financial institutions scramble to put the funds to work at rates higher than traditional bank investment securities. In many instances, competitors are quoting loan rates that are not necessarily commensurate with the relative credit risk of a particular customer. Additionally, there is an increasing amount of long-term fixed rates being quoted by competitors to customers in an effort to attract loans. It is our
2
contention that these competitors have short memories and have forgotten that interest rates can go up as fast as they have come down. Your company has not chosen to compete for business in this manner. Our lending staff has invested countless hours and expended an immense amount of energy over the past years developing relationships that still serve as the foundation for our business development efforts as we strive to obtain additional loans to put our liquidity position to work. We have chosen to compete on a basis other than absolute price as we work to obtain new business. We recognize that in order to be successful our sales efforts will have to be superior. We realize that we will have to knock on more doors and solicit business professionally and tirelessly. Our staff is up to these challenges and dedicated to meeting our goals. In the long term, it will make us a stronger and more profitable organization by not merely succumbing to price pressures, but instead, continuing to build your bank loan portfolio on a solid foundation of service and relationships.
There is still work to be done as we strive to merge all of our operational systems. We have completed an extensive search process and selected a new data processing vendor to provide data processing services to the combined company. The conversion process has begun and is expected to be complete in June of this year. This will consolidate our information management systems and bring increased efficiency to our organization. It will also enhance customer service as we develop new products and services as a result of our increased processing power. Internet and telephone banking will be available to all of our customers. Our ATM network will work seamlessly and provide our customers with the ability to obtain cash effortlessly regardless of where they may be. Additionally, our customers will have a common debit card available to them with all of the accompanying convenience and ease of use. The Overdraft Privilege service will also be introduced statewide which will not only provide additional convenience to our customers, but should also enhance fee income. The merging of our operational systems will also enhance organizational efficiency and profitability as system redundancies are eliminated and cost savings are obtained. We hope to have all systems merged by the beginning of the third quarter of 2002.
Every business organization has challenges that must be identified and dealt with in a way that insures that the business not only survives, but prospers in the long run. It is imperative that every organization has leadership that provides the insight and the guidance to meet these challenges and cause the organization to emerge stronger for doing so. Your company is privileged to have a board of directors that is focused on the long-term success of the company and dedicated to providing management with the proper tools to address whatever circumstances and situations may arise. This board is comprised of individuals who previously led and developed both Landmark Bancshares, Inc. and MNB Bancshares, Inc. into premier community banking organizations from their roots as mutual savings and loan associations. Their bold and progressive leadership has served us well and continues to do so as we strive to maintain our tradition of growth and excellence in providing community banking services.
It is also appropriate to recognize the efforts and contribution of Mr. Larry Schugart, our Chairman of the Board. Mr. Schugart's vision and perseverance guided and evolved Landmark Bancshares, Inc. into a leading community banking organization in southwest Kansas. His vision and foresight was also essential in engineering and negotiating the union of Landmark and MNB. His participation and support have been key factors in the smooth transition and employee acceptance of the combination of the two companies. We are very fortunate to have Mr. Schugart continue in his
3
leadership role as Chairman of the Board. His insight and contribution will be invaluable assets as we face the challenges ahead.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CORPORATE PROFILE AND OVERVIEW
Landmark Bancorp, Inc. is a one-bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and is engaged in the banking business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Landmark National Bank. Landmark Bancorp is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market National Market System (symbol "LARK"). Landmark National Bank is dedicated to providing quality services to its local communities and continues to originate commercial real estate and non real estate loans, small business loans, residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, home equity loans, and student loans. Effective October 9, 2001, Landmark Bancshares, Inc. and MNB Bancshares, Inc. completed their merger into Landmark Merger Company, which immediately changed its name to Landmark Bancorp, Inc. In addition, Landmark Federal Savings Bank merged with Security National Bank and the resulting bank changed its name to Landmark National Bank, which is the wholly-owned subsidiary of Landmark Bancorp, Inc. Landmark Bancorp, Inc. is the accounting successor to the former Landmark Bancshares and therefore, all financial information presented for periods prior to October 9, 2001 reflects only the operations of Landmark Bancshares. The former Landmark Bancshares utilized a September 30 fiscal year. Landmark Bancorp has a December 31 fiscal year end and is presenting the results for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 as a transition period. The results for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 include MNB's results since October 9, 2001.
We achieved operating net earnings of $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $680,000, or 58%, over the three months ended December 31, 2000. Operating earnings exclude nonrecurring expenses, net of tax, associated with the merger with MNB. In conjunction with the merger, nonrecurring expenses of $2.7 million were incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2001. The inclusion of the non-recurring merger expenses, resulted in a net loss of $638,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001. Diluted net loss per share for the three months ended December 31, 2001 was ($.32). The annualized return on average assets was (.72%) and the annualized return on average equity was (6.29%). Excluding the non-recurring expenses, the annualized return on average assets was 1.21%, the annualized return on average equity was 10.58% and annualized diluted earnings per share was $.53. During the three months ended December 31, 2001, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of fifteen cents per share and a five percent stock dividend. On December 3, 2001, we announced the approval of a stock repurchase program enabling us to repurchase up to 98,600 shares of our outstanding stock.
The tradition of quality assets continues and management's strategy is to further diversify the deposit and loan portfolios in order to increase profitability in the future. Focusing on customers' needs and the development of full service banking relationships have been instrumental to our success. We believe that our strong capital position puts us on solid ground and provides an excellent base for further growth and expansion.
Landmark National Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate commercial and consumer loans, multi-family residential mortgage loans and one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.
Deposits are insured by either the Savings Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the maximum amount allowed by applicable federal law and regulation. Our primary regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Additionally, we are subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as administrator of the two insurance funds and by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
7
with respect to reserves required to be maintained against deposits and certain other matters. We are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka and the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board. We are also subject to various reporting and other requirements under the federal securities laws and the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Currently, our business consists of ownership of Landmark National Bank, with its main office in Manhattan, Kansas and branch offices in central and southwestern Kansas. We plan to continue exploring and evaluating opportunities to expand and enter complementary markets in an effort to enhance our asset base, long-term earnings and resources.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE
QUARTERS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE. Operating earnings, net of tax, for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 were $1.1 million, an increase of 58%, compared to operating earnings, net of tax, of $680,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. Diluted operating earnings, net of tax, per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was $.53 versus $.57 for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in earnings per share was primarily the result of the issuance of 817,806 shares to former MNB Bancshares, Inc. shareholders as a result of the October 9, 2001 merger. As previously reported, Landmark Bancshares completed its merger with MNB Bancshares, Inc. into our new company, Landmark Bancorp Inc. on October 9, 2001. Accordingly, the results for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 include MNB's results since that date. In conjunction with the merger, non-recurring expenses of $2.7 million were incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The inclusion of the non-recurring merger expenses resulted in a net loss of $638,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Diluted net loss per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was $.32.
On October 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133. In connection with the adoption, certain investments were reclassified from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale and trading and resulted in a cumulative decrease in earnings of $215,000, net of tax. Net earnings after the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 were $466,000. Diluted net earnings per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 was $.39.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $739,000, or 16.5%, to $5.2 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Average interest-earning assets increased from $222.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 to $339.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 due to the merger. Interest income on loans increased $880,000, or 23.5%, to $4.6 million. Interest earned on securities and other investments declined $140,000 to $595,000. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in average loans resulting from the MNB merger, which overcame the decrease in rates experienced as interest-earning assets repriced during 2001.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased from $2.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000 to $2.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, or 14.0%. Deposit interest expense remained consistent at $2.1 million, despite acquiring $131.0 million in deposits from the MNB merger, as a result of the decline in rates. Interest expense on borrowings, consisting primarily of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka, decreased $417,000, or 54.7%, to $344,000 at December 31, 2001 as a result of scheduled principal payments and the decline in rates.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income represents the difference between income derived from interest-earning assets and the expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by both the difference between the rates of interest earned on interest-earnings assets and
8
the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities ("interest rate spread") and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income increased to $2.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was 3.22% compared to 2.86% for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. This increase resulted from interest rates on our interest-bearing liabilities which repriced downward at a more rapid pace than our interest-earning assets.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company maintains, and the Board of Directors monitors an allowance for losses on loans. The allowance is established based upon management's periodic evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, review of significant individual loans and collateral, review of delinquent loans, past loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, current and expected market conditions, and other factors management deems important. Determining the appropriate level of reserves involves a high degree of management judgment and is based upon historical and projected losses in the loan portfolio and the collateral value of specifically identified problem loans. Additionally, allowance strategies and policies are subject to periodic review and revision in response to a number of factors, including current market conditions, actual loss experience and management's expectations.
The provision for loan losses decreased to $33,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to $45,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2000. With the loan portfolio quality remaining strong, our review of the portfolio, coupled with loan sales during the quarter ended December 31, 2000, prompted a slight decline in our provision. At December 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was $2.6 million, or 1.1% of gross loans outstanding, compared to $1.4 million, or 1.0%, at September 30, 2001.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income increased $468,000, or 86.1%, to $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. Fees and service charge income increased from $132,000 to $426,000, or by 223.6% relating primarily to the MNB merger and the fee income associated with MNB's products and services offered. Also contributing to this increase was an improvement in gains on sale of loans by $220,000, or 69.0% to $539,000, as loan originations increased due to the decrease in home mortgage interest rates during 2001.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense increased $3.8 million to $4.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, resulting from additional expenses associated with the MNB merger and the $2.7 million non-recurring severance and other expenses related to the MNB merger.
AVERAGE ASSETS/LIABILITIES. The following table sets forth information relating to average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999. As part of the MNB merger, the assets and liabilities of MNB were recorded at their respective fair market values. Based on the relatively low interest rates prevailing at the merger date, the effective yields on MNB's interest-earning assets and rates on MNB's interest-bearing liabilities were significantly reduced, thus causing our post merger blended yields and cost of funds to decline in comparison to the periods presented prior to the merger. This table reflects the average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities for the periods indicated (derived by dividing income or expense by the monthly average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively) as well as the "net interest margin" (which reflects the effect of the net earnings balance) for the periods shown.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE FISCAL
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000 AND 1999
SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE. Net income increased $107,000, or 4.5%, from $2.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2000 to $2.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2001. This resulted in diluted earnings per share of $2.07 ($2.24 per basic share) for fiscal year 2001 compared to $1.94 per diluted share ($2.09 per basic share) for fiscal year 2000. This increase in net income related primarily to an increase in non-interest income offset by a decrease in net interest income after provision for loan losses.
Net income increased $28,000, or 1.2%, from $2.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1999 to $2.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. This resulted in diluted earnings per share of $1.94 ($2.09 per basic share) for fiscal year 2000 compared to $1.78 per diluted share ($1.96 per basic share) for fiscal year 1999. This slight increase in net income related primarily to a reduction in the provision for losses on loans offset by a decrease in other non-interest income.
INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income decreased $1.8 million, or 9.8%, to $16.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2001, from $18.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. This decrease resulted partly from the average yield on investment securities decreasing to 6.02% for the year ended September 30, 2001 compared to 6.31% for the year ended September 30, 2000. Additionally, the decrease was the result of a decrease in the balance of the loan and investment portfolios.
Total interest income increased $1.2 million, or 6.9%, to $18.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2000, from $17.1 million for the year ended September 30, 1999. This increase resulted partly from the average yield on interest-earning assets increasing to 7.63% for the year ended September 30, 2000 compared to 7.52% for the year ended September 30, 1999. Additionally, the increase was the result of an increase in the balance of the loan and investment portfolios.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2001 decreased $1.3 million or 11.8%, to $9.9 million from $11.2 million at September 30, 2000. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of borrowed funds.
Interest expense for the year ended September 30, 2000 increased $1.2 million, or 12.0%, to $11.2 million from $10.0 million at September 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of borrowed funds.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income decreased $472,000 from $7.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2000 to $6.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2001. Based on the portfolios of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities over the last three fiscal years, interest rate spreads were 2.57%, 2.48% and 2.64% for the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to the decrease in loan balances during fiscal 2001. The Bank, as part of its interest rate risk reduction plan, sold long-term fixed rate loans out of the portfolio, moved loans to mortgage-backed investments, and began selling long-term fixed rate mortgage loans as they are originated during the year ended September 30, 2001. This substantially reduced the loan portfolio and corresponding interest income. This reduction in income was partially offset by a reduction in borrowings and lower interest rates paid on deposits.
Net interest income decreased $29,000 from $7.0 million for the year ended September 30, 1999 to $7.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. Based on the portfolios of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities over the last two fiscal years, interest rate spreads were 2.48% and 2.64% for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decrease in net interest income was attributable to the overall increase in interest rates during fiscal 2000. As interest rates increased, the Bank's interest rate sensitive liabilities repriced faster than its interest rate sensitive assets, causing a
12
decline in the Bank's interest rate spread and margin. This resulted from an increase in the Bank's cost of funds that could not be immediately offset by an increase in its yield on earnings assets. This was partially offset by an increase in net interest income resulting from a shift in the composition of interest-earning assets from generally lower yielding mortgage-backed securities to loans and investment securities. The risks related to interest rate movement are managed and continuously reviewed by management. See "Asset/Liability Management."
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for losses on loans was $1.4 million at September 30, 2001 and 2000. The provision for losses on loans decreased $147,000, or 55.0% from $267,000 for the year ended September 30, 2000 to $120,000 for the year ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in the provision was related to the reduction in loan balances during fiscal 2001 along with management's evaluation of the allowance in relation to the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio.
During fiscal 1999, the Bank became aware that a large number of consumer loans at one branch had not been properly underwritten. Throughout fiscal 1999, management realized the degree of the problem and began to adjust the allowance accordingly. The Bank also took additional steps to ensure that proper underwriting guidelines would be followed in the future. Management is now keenly aware of the need to closely monitor the consumer loan underwriting process and has made every effort to identify and address any substandard consumer loans. The Bank continues to rely on the origination of consumer loans and it intends to enforce proper underwriting guidelines prior to loan origination. The Bank increased the allowance for loan losses during fiscal 2000 and 1999 in response to the identified loans.
The Bank had loan chargeoffs, net of recoveries, of $73,000 and $208,000 for fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively. Historical non-performing loan ratios are presented with the five-year financial summary information. While management maintains its allowance for loan losses at levels which it considers adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that additions will not be made to the allowance in future years and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts.
The allowance for loan losses was $1.4 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The provision for losses on loans was $267,000 for the year ended September 30, 2000 compared to $785,000 for the year ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $518,000 or 66.0%. The decrease in the provision for the year ended September 30, 2000 was based on management's evaluation of the allowance in relation to the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio, including non-mortgage lending, and the decrease in non-performing loans discussed above.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased $1.4 million or 140.7%, from $977,000 for the year ended September 30, 2000 to $2.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2001. This was primarily due to the increase in the net gain on the sale of investments to $998,000 for fiscal year 2001 compared to $51,000 for fiscal 2000, a $947,000 increase, or 1,865.3% and the increase in the net gain on the sale of loans to $763,000 for fiscal year 2001 compared to $181,000 for fiscal 2000, a $582,000 increase, or 321.9%.
Non-interest income decreased $659,000, or 40.3%, from $1.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1999 to $977,000 for the year ended September 30, 2000. This was primarily due to the decrease in the net gain on the sale of investments to $51,000 for fiscal year 2000 compared to $500,000 for fiscal 1999, a $449,000 decrease, or 89.9% and the decrease in the net gain on the sale of loans to $180,000 for fiscal year 2000 compared to $463,000 for fiscal 1999, a $282,000 decrease, or 60.9%.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased $220,000, or 5.1% from $4.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2000 to $4.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2001. The Bank experienced a $336,000 increase in compensation and related expenses due to filling employee positions vacant in the prior year and other normal increases in compensation.
13
Non-interest expense decreased $135,000, or 3.2% from $4.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1999 to $4.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. The Bank experienced a $161,000 decrease in compensation and related expenses due to vacant employee positions and reduced costs of employee benefit plans.
INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense increased $508,000 or 40.0%, from $1.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2000 to $1.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2001. This increase in income tax resulted primarily from an increase in taxable income. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 was 39.7% compared to 34.8% for fiscal 2000.
Income tax expense decreased $63,000, or 4.7%, from $1.3 million for the year ended September 30, 1999 to $1.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2000. This slight decrease in income tax resulted primarily from a decrease in state income tax expense and the benefit of non-taxable income.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
ASSET QUALITY AND DISTRIBUTION. Our total assets were $349.7 million at December 31, 2001 compared to $200.3 million at September 30, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to the merger with MNB consummated on October 9, 2001. Our primary ongoing sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities and proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition, and the restructuring of the financial services industry.
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of investment securities. During the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, we purchased investment securities aggregating $21.4 million, $10,000, $825,000 and $27.6 million, respectively. These purchases were funded primarily by deposits, proceeds from the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans and investment securities and maturing investment securities. Generally, we originate fixed rate mortgage loans for immediate sale and do not originate and warehouse those loans for resale in order to speculate on interest rates. During the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999, we originated loans for sale of $24.7 million, $28.6 million, $9.8 million and $20.5 million, respectively. The increase in loans originated for sale was attributable to the decrease in home mortgage interest rates during 2001. Our loan portfolio composition, which was comprised of 81% one-to-four family residential real estate loans at September 30, 2001 has become more diversified as a result of the merger with MNB. As of December 31, 2001 our ratio of one-to-four family residential real estate loans to total loans was 54%.
We believe that the quality of the loan portfolio continues to be strong as evidenced by the small number and amount of loans past due one month or more. As of December 31, 2001, $1.0 million loans were in non-accrual status, or 0.43% of total loans compared to 0.45% as of September 30, 2001.
LIABILITY DISTRIBUTION. At December 31, 2001, total deposits decreased $5.8 million from September 30, 2001, excluding the deposits acquired in the October 2001 MNB acquisition totaling $131.0 million. Borrowings decreased $1.1 million excluding the borrowing acquired in the MNB acquisition.
Including the MNB deposits, noninterest-bearing demand deposits at the end of 2001 totaled $19.0 million, or 6.9% of deposits, compared to $8.0 million, or 5.4% of deposits at September 30, 2001. NOW and money market deposit accounts were 26.8% of the portfolio and totaled $73.3 million, compared to $19.8 million at September 30, 2001 and savings accounts totaled $19.7 million compared to $8.4 million at September 30, 2001. Certificates of deposit were $161.2 million, or 59.1% of the portfolio compared to $111.9 million, or 75.6% at September 30, 2001.
Certificates of deposit at December 31, 2001, which were scheduled to mature in one year or less, totaled $131.6 million. Historically, maturing deposits have generally remained with our Bank and we believe that a significant portion of the deposits maturing in one year or less will remain with us upon maturity.
CASH FLOWS. During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, cash and cash equivalents increased $2.2 million. The Company had net cash provided by investing activities of $9.0 million, which consisted primarily of a net decrease of loans of $8.4 million, maturities and prepayments of investment securities of $15.8 million offset by purchases of investment securities of $21.4 million. Cash of $1.9 million was used in operating activities. Net cash of $4.9 million was used in financing activities primarily from the decrease in deposits of $5.8 million.
16
During the year ended September 30, 2001, cash and cash equivalents increased $14.9 million. The Company had net cash provided by investing activities of $59.8 million, which consisted primarily of a net decrease of loans of $22.3 million and proceeds from sales of investment securities available-for-sale and trading of $37.2 million. Operating activities provided cash of $9.9 million. Net cash of $54.7 million was used in financing activities primarily to repay $36.0 million of debt and decreases in deposits of $17.8 million.
During the year ended September 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents decreased $886,000. The Company had net cash used in investing activities of $6.8 million, which consisted primarily of a net increase in loans of $13.2 million. This was offset by net cash provided by operating and financing activities of $1.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities consisted of normal operating activities. Cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities resulted primarily from the net increase in deposits.
LIQUIDITY. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available for sale. The level of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2001, September 30, 2001 and 2000, these liquid assets totaled $97.5 million, $50.9 million and $15.0 million, respectively. During periods in which we are not able to originate a sufficient amount of loans and/or periods of high principal prepayments, we increase our liquid assets by investing in short-term U.S. Government and agency securities or high-grade municipal securities.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of our strategy. Excess funds are generally invested in short-term investments. In the event we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, additional funds are available through the use of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank or through sales of securities. At December 31, 2001, we had outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $28.7 million and no borrowings outstanding on our line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank. At December 31, 2001, our total borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was $105 million.
At December 31, 2001, we had outstanding loan commitments of $33.4 million. We anticipate that sufficient funds will be available to meet current loan commitments. These commitments consist of letters of credit, unfunded lines of credit and commitments to finance real estate loans.
CAPITAL. The Federal Reserve Board has established capital requirements for bank holding companies which generally parallel the capital requirements for national banks under the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations. The regulations provide that such standards will generally be applied on a consolidated (rather than a bank-only) basis in the case of a bank holding company with more than $150 million in total consolidated assets.
At December 31, 2001, we continued to maintain a sound Tier 1 capital ratio of 11% and a risk based capital ratio of 19%. As shown by the following table, our capital exceeded the minimum capital requirements: (dollars in thousands)

Tier 1 leverage capital | $ | 37,069 | 11 | % | 4 | % | ||
Risk-based capital | $ | 39,645 | 19 | % | 8 | % |
Banks and bank holding companies are generally expected to operate at or above the minimum capital requirements. The above ratios are well in excess of regulatory minimums and should allow us to operate without capital adequacy concerns. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 establishes a bank rating system based on the capital levels of banks. We are rated "well capitalized," which is the highest rating available under this capital-based rating system.

DIVIDENDS
During the quarter ended December 31, 2001, a cash dividend of $.15 per share was paid to the stockholders. Additionally, a 5% stock dividend was paid in December 2001. The cash dividend is consistent with those paid during the previous two years.
The payment of dividends by any financial institution or its holding company is affected by the requirement to maintain adequate capital pursuant to applicable capital adequacy guidelines and regulations. As described above, Landmark National Bank exceeded its minimum capital requirements under applicable guidelines as of December 31, 2001. The National Bank Act imposes limitations on the amount of dividends that a national bank may pay without prior regulatory approval. Generally, the amount is limited to the bank's current year's net earnings plus the adjusted retained earnings for the two preceding years. As of December 31, 2001, approximately $540,000 was available to be paid as dividends to Landmark Bancorp by Landmark National Bank without prior regulatory approval.
RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business Combinations," applies to all combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. It requires that all business combinations be accounted for by a single methodthe purchase method. Prior to this standard, business combinations were accounted for using one of two methods, the pooling-of-interests method (pooling method) or the purchase method. The pooling method, required if certain criteria were met, involved joining the balance sheets of the combining entities with no adjustments to assets or liabilities. The purchase method requires the acquiring entity to allocate the cost of an acquired entity to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at date of acquisition, and the excess of the cost over the net amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized as goodwill. SFAS No. 141 requires disclosure of the primary reasons for the business combination and the allocation of the purchase price among the acquired assets and liabilities. When the amount of goodwill and intangible assets acquired are significant, additional disclosure about those assets is required. Additional guidance on the identification and recognition of intangible assets is provided in the Statement.
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" addresses the accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. For acquisitions consummated after June 30, 2001, goodwill will not be amortized. It shall be tested for impairment at a reporting unit level, under certain circumstances. Intangible assets with definite useful lives shall be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to the estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment. In connection with the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation, SFAS No. 142 requires the Company to assess whether there is an indication that goodwill is impaired as of the date of adoption. This assessment is a two-step process. The first step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the test must be performed. The second step is to compare the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
In connection with the merger with MNB, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141 and certain provisions of SFAS No. 142. Accordingly, goodwill approximating $2.1 million resulting from the merger has not been amortized in the three-month period ended December 31, 2001. The Company's core deposit intangible of $780,000 resulted from the acquisition of MNB by LBI on October 9, 2001. Core deposit amortization was $35,454 for the three months ended December 31, 2001.
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. This Statement establishes a single accounting model for all long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, which is to measure a long-lived asset classified as held for sale
18
at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and to cease depreciation. The Statement also establishes criteria to determine when a long-lived asset is held for sale and provides additional guidance on accounting for such in specific circumstances. We do not anticipate that the adoption of the new Statement will have a significant effect on our financial position or results of operations of the Company.
EFFECTS ON INFLATION
Our financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America), which generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation can be found in the increased cost of our operations because our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary and interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the effects of inflation.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our assets and liabilities are principally financial in nature and the resulting net interest income thereon is subject to changes in market interest rates and the mix of various assets and liabilities. Interest rates in the financial markets affect our decision on pricing our assets and liabilities which impacts our net interest income, a significant cash flow source for us. As a result, a substantial portion of our risk management activities relates to managing interest rate risk.
Our Asset/Liability Management Committee monitors the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet using earnings simulation models and interest sensitivity GAP analysis. We have set policy limits of interest rate risk to be assumed in the normal course of business and monitor such limits through our simulation process. Simulation models are prepared to determine the impact on net interest income for the coming twelve months, including using rates at December 31, 2001 and forecasting volumes for the twelve month projection. This position is then subjected to a shift in interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points rising and 100 basis points falling with an impact to our net interest income on a one year horizon as follows:
Scenario
|
$ change in net
interest income |
% of net
interest income |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
100 basis point rising | $ | (75,000 | ) | (.58 | %) | |
200 basis point rising | $ | 21,000 | .16 | % | ||
100 basis point falling | $ | 142,000 | 1.10 | % |
We believe we are appropriately positioned for future interest rate movements, although we may experience some fluctuations in net interest income due to short-term timing differences between the repricing of assets and liabilities.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
We are emphasizing the origination of adjustable-rate mortgages for portfolio retention along with shorter-term consumer and commercial loans to reduce the sensitivity of its earnings to interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate "gap" analysis is a common, though imperfect, measure of interest rate risk which measures the relative dollar amounts of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities which reprice within a specific time period, either through maturity or rate adjustment. The "gap" is the difference between the amounts of such assets and liabilities that are subject to such repricing. A "positive" gap for a given period means that the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or otherwise repricing within that period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or
19
otherwise repricing during that same period. In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would generally be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in the yield of its assets relative to the cost of its liabilities. Conversely, the cost of funds for an institution with a positive gap would generally be expected to decline less quickly than the yield on its assets in a falling interest rate environment. Changes in interest rates generally have the opposite effect on an institution with a "negative" gap.
Following is our "static gap" schedule. One-to-four family and consumer loans included prepayment assumptions, while all other loans assume no prepayments. The mortgage-backed securities included published prepayment assumptions, while all other investments assume no prepayments. All assets are reflected at amortized cost.
Certificates of deposit reflect contractual maturities only. Money market accounts are rate sensitive and accordingly, a higher percentage of the accounts have been included as repricing immediately in the first period. Savings and NOW accounts are not as rate sensitive as money market accounts and for that reason a significant percentage of the accounts are reflected in the 2 to 5 years category.
We have been successful in meeting the interest sensitivity objectives set forth in our policy. This has been accomplished primarily by managing the assets and liabilities while maintaining our traditional high credit standards.

The
Board of Directors
Landmark Bancorp, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Landmark Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three-month period and year then ended, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2000 and 1999 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated October 26, 2000, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three-month period and year then ended, respectively, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2(e) to the consolidated financial statements, effective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, and certain provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , as required for goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001.

LANDMARK BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2001, 2000, AND 1999
(1) MERGER OF LANDMARK BANCSHARES AND MNB BANCSHARES
On October 9, 2001, Landmark Bancshares (LBI) and MNB Bancshares, Inc. (MNB) completed a merger of equals. Concurrent with the merger, Landmark National Bank and Security National Bank (wholly-owned subsidiaries of LBI and MNB) merged. In connection with the merger, Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) was formed, and 1,103,938 shares were issued to the former LBI stockholders and 817,806 shares were issued to the former MNB stockholders. The merger was accounted for as an acquisition of MNB by LBI, using the purchase method of accounting. Total consideration paid, consisting primarily of the fair value of the 817,806 shares issued to the former MNB stockholders, aggregated $15.3 million. The value of the 817,806 shares issued was based on the average closing price of the LBI common stock for the five days prior to and following the announcement of the signing of the merger agreement. The cost in excess of the tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The Company recorded a core deposit intangible of $780,000 and goodwill attributable to the merger with MNB of $2.1 million, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2001 include the accounts of the Company and, commencing October 9, 2001, MNB. The consolidated financial statements for periods prior to October 1, 2001 are LBI's historical financial statements. Pro forma information, as if the merger was consummated October 1, 1999 and excluding the severance and other nonrecurring costs related to the merger, is as follows:
|

In conjunction with the merger, the Company incurred severance and other nonrecurring costs of $2.7 million, which were charged to operating expenses in the three-month period ended December 31, 2001. Included in accrued expenses are undisbursed amounts aggregating $479,000 at December 31, 2001.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Landmark National Bank (the Bank). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to originate commercial and consumer loans, multifamily residential mortgage loans and one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.
28
(b) Investment Securities
The Company classifies its investment securities portfolio as held-to-maturity, which are recorded at amortized cost; available-for-sale, which are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized; or trading securities, which are held principally for resale and reported at fair value, with unrealized changes in value reported in the Bank's income statement as part of earnings. Effective October 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133. In connection with the adoption, certain investments were reclassified from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale and trading (see note 3). Premiums and discounts are amortized over the estimated lives of the securities using a method which approximates the interest method. Gains and losses on sales are calculated using the specific identification method.
During the year ended September 30, 2001 certain securities previously classified as available-for-sale suffered declines in value which management believed were other than temporary. Accordingly, the unrealized loss on those securities, aggregating $94,957, was recorded as a part of the gain on sale of investment securities, net, in the year ended September 30, 2001.
(c) Loans and Related Earnings
Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balances, net of undisbursed loan proceeds, the allowance for loan losses, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Fees received on such loans are deferred and recognized in income as part of the gain or loss on sale. Fees received on other loans in excess of amounts representing the estimated costs of origination are deferred and credited to interest income using the interest method.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, the current level of nonperforming assets, and current economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
29
effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
The accrual of interest on nonperforming loans is discontinued at the time the loan is ninety days delinquent, unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
(d) Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line or accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives, ranging from three to fifty years, of the assets. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions are reflected in current operations.
(e) Intangible Assets
The Company's core deposit intangible asset is being amortized over ten years on an accelerated basis. When facts and circumstances indicated potential impairment, the Company evaluates the recoverability of asset carrying values, including intangible assets, using estimates of undisclosed future cash flows over remaining asset lives. When impairment is indicated, any impairment loss is measured by the excess of carrying values over fair value. No impairment losses have been recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2001 and the years ended September 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999.
The Company's core deposit intangible resulted from the acquisition of MNB by LBI on October 9, 2001. Core deposit amortization was $35,454 for the three months ended December 31, 2001.
Mortgage servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into non-interest expense in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost.
Effective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations, and certain provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets , as required for goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001. Pursuant to certain provisions in SFAS No. 142, goodwill resulting from the merger with MNB is not amortized; however, it is tested for impairment on a periodic basis.
30
(f) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(g) Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(h) Comprehensive Income
The Company's only component of other comprehensive income (loss) is the unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities as shown below:

(i) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and management stock bonus plan (MSBP) shares, and are determined using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share for all periods presented has been adjusted to give effect to the 5% stock dividend paid by the Company in December 2001.
31
The shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted income per share, which have been restated for the 5% stock dividend paid in December 2001, are shown below:
(j) Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications to prior year amounts have been made to conform with the current year presentation.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . This statement requires the recognition of all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes in the fair value of a derivative and the effect on the consolidated financial statements will depend on its hedge designation and whether the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on October 1, 2000. As permitted by SFAS No. 133, the Company transferred all of its securities on that date from the held-to-maturity portfolio to the available-for-sale and trading portfolios as follows:

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet customer financing needs. These financial instruments consist principally of commitments to extend credit. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. In the normal course of business, there are various commitments and contingent liabilities, such as guarantees, commitments to extend credit, letters of credit, and lines of credit, which are properly not recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company generally requires collateral or other security on unfunded loan commitments and irrevocable letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit and lines of credit aggregated approximately $33,000,000, $10,000,000, and $8,000,000 at December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Company is exposed to varying risks associated with concentrations of credit relating primarily to lending activities in specific geographic areas. The Company's principal lending area consists of the cities of Manhattan, Auburn, Dodge City, Garden City, Great Bend, Hoisington, LaCrosse, Osage City, Topeka, and Wamego, Kansas and the surrounding communities, and substantially all of the Company's loans are to residents of or secured by properties located in its principal lending area. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of the Company's loan portfolio is dependent in part upon market conditions in those areas. These geographic concentrations are considered in management's establishment of the allowance for loan losses.

The Bank has a line of credit, renewable annually in September, with the FHLB under which there are no outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2001 or September 30, 2001 or 2000.
Although no loans are specifically pledged, the FHLB requires the Bank to maintain eligible collateral (qualifying loans and investment securities) that has a lending value at least equal to its required collateral. At December 31, 2001, the Bank's total borrowing capacity with the FHLB was approximately $105 million.

There was no valuation allowance required for deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001 or September 30, 2001 or 2000. Management believes that it is more likely than not the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.
Prior to 1996, the Company was allowed to deduct for tax purposes the greater of an experience method bad debt deduction based on actual charge-offs or a statutory bad debt deduction based on a percentage (8%) of taxable income before such deduction. Under the Small Business Job Protection Act (the Act) of 1996, the allowable deduction under the percentage of taxable income method was terminated for tax years beginning after 1995, and will not be available to the Company for future years. The Act also provides that federal income tax bad debt reserves accumulated since 1988 (the base year reserve) must be recaptured and included in taxable income over a six-year inclusion period
39
beginning in 1998. Included in the deferred income tax liability at December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 and 2000 is $0, $53,095, and $106,190, respectively, for this recapture.
Retained earnings at December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 and 2000 include approximately $5,585,000 for which no provision for federal income tax has been made. This amount represents allocations of income to bad debt deductions in years prior to 1988 for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses will create income for tax purposes only, which will be subject to the then current corporate income tax rate.
(9) Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Retirement Plan
Substantially all employees are covered under 401(k) defined contribution savings plans. Costs attributable to the periods ended December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999 were $10,000, $40,000, $38,000, and $36,000, respectively.
Deferred Compensation and Retirement Agreements
LBI entered into deferred compensation and retirement agreements with certain key employees that provided for cash payments to be made after their retirement. The liabilities under the agreements have been recorded at the present values of accrued benefits using a 2% discount rate. The balance of estimated accrued benefits was $973,200 at December 31, 2001 and $420,482 and $235,447 at September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Pursuant to the agreements, additional amounts resulting from the merger with MNB were recognized. Such amounts aggregating $590,175 were included in severance and other nonrecurring costs in the three-month period ended December 31, 2001. In connection with the agreements, the Bank has purchased life insurance policies on covered employees in which the Bank is the beneficiary to assist in funding benefits. At December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 and 2000, the cash surrender values on the policies included in other assets were $871,382, $869,273, and $816,426, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
LBI established an ESOP in connection with its formation in 1994. The original acquisition of 136,878 shares of LBI stock by the plan was funded by a loan from LBI to the ESOP in the amount of $1,368,780. The loan, together with interest, is being repaid over a ten-year period through annual contributions by the Bank. The Bank makes annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service less dividends received by the ESOP. All dividends received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service. The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from the collateral and allocated to active employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. MNB also had an ESOP which operated similarly, although the MNB ESOP was funded with a note payable to an unrelated financial institution. The two plans are being merged and are presented on a combined basis in the accompanying December 31, 2001 consolidated financial statements.
The Company and the Bank account for the ESOP shares in accordance with Statement of Position No. 93-6. Accordingly, the ESOP indebtedness of $344,099, $282,084, and $418,963 at December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, is shown as a deduction from stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as compensation expense. ESOP compensation expense was $51,000, $169,000, $154,000, and $191,000 for the periods ended December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999,
40
respectively. The remaining 34,532, 28,208, and 41,896 unallocated shares at December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 and 2000 had estimated market values of $704,000, $544,000, and $765,000, respectively.
Management Stock Bonus Plan
LBI had three MSBPs, the objective of which was to enable the Bank to retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions of responsibility.
The MSBP purchased 91,252 shares of the Company's stock for $965,224. These shares were granted to employees in the form of restricted stock earned over a five-year period at the rate of one-fifth of such shares per year following the date of grant of the award. Compensation expense, equal to the fair value of the common stock at the date of the grant to the employee, was recognized pro rata over the five years during which the shares were payable. All awards were fully amortized as of March 1999.
(10) Stock Option Plan
LBI had a stock option plan (the Option Plan), the purpose of which is to provide additional incentive to certain officers, directors, and key employees by facilitating their purchase of a stock interest in the Company. The Option Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonincentive stock options with a duration of ten years, after which no awards may be made, unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Option Plan. Stock to be offered under the Option Plan may be authorized by unissued common stock, or previously issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company and held as treasury shares. In connection with the merger, LBI options were exchanged for options to acquire shares of the Company, and the Company exchanged 38,822 options with former MNB option holders. The MNB options exchanged were valued at $87,000 and included in the total consideration paid for MNB (see note 1).
The Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors who will select the employees to whom options are to be granted and the number of shares to be granted. The option price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant, and no option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the grant date. In the case of any employee who owns more than 10% of the outstanding common stock at the time the option is granted, the option price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant, and the option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the grant date. The exercise price may be paid in cash, shares of the common stock, or a combination of both. Options outstanding at December 31, 2001 were exercisable at prices ranging from $6.48 to $22.50.
The Company accounts for the fair value of the options issued under the Option Plan subsequent to October 1, 1996, in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Options to acquire 228,131 shares were granted in 1994. Options to acquire 33,032 shares have been granted subsequent to October 1, 1996 including 2,500 options issued in 2000. No options were issued in the period ended December 31, 2001 or September 30, 2001. The compensation cost that has been charged to compensation and benefits expense for the Option Plan was $0, $0, $48,585, and $36,753 for the periods ended December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. In accordance with SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Methods and Assumptions Utilized
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, loans held for sale, federal funds sold, and accrued interest receivable and payable are considered to approximate fair value.
The estimated fair value of investment securities, except certain obligations of states and political subdivisions, is based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain obligations of states and political subdivisions is not readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations, so fair value estimates are based upon quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.
The estimated fair value of the Company's loan portfolio is based on the segregation of loans by collateral type, interest terms, and maturities. In estimating the fair value of each category of loans, the carrying amount of the loan is reduced by an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Such allocation is based on management's loan classification system which is designed to measure the credit risk inherent in each classification category. The estimated fair value of performing variable rate loans is the carrying value of such loans, reduced by an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. The estimated fair value of performing fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the interest rate risk inherent in the loan, reduced by an allocation of the allowance for loan losses. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company's historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. The fair value for significant nonperforming loans is the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral based on recent external appraisals or other available information, which generally approximates carrying value, reduced by an allocation of the allowance for loan losses.
The estimated fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest bearing demand deposits, savings, money market accounts, and NOW accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of interest-bearing time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows of such deposits. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
The fair value of advances from the FHLB is estimated using the current rates offered for similar borrowings.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.

Current regulatory capital regulations require financial institutions to meet two different regulatory capital requirements. Institutions are required to have minimum leverage capital equal to 4% of total
43
average assets and total qualifying capital equal to 8% of total risk-weighted assets in order to be considered "adequately capitalized." Management believes that as of December 31, 2001, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The following is a comparison of the Bank's regulatory capital to minimum capital requirements at December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 and 2000 (dollars in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Landmark Bancshares, Inc.
Dodge City, Kansas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Landmark Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of September 30, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Landmark Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiary as of September 30, 2000, and the results of their operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
