LANDMARK BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.
Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and subsidiary have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  To the extent that information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements are contained in or consistent with the consolidated audited financial statements incorporated by reference in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, such information and footnotes have not been duplicated herein.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements have been reflected herein.  The December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.  The results of the interim period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.  The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that financial statements are filed for potential recognition or disclosure.

2.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances warrant.  The Company determined that a decline in its stock price during the third quarter of 2010 constituted a triggering event, which required an impairment test to be performed.  The Company performed an impairment test as of September 30, 2010 by comparing the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit to its carrying value.  Fair value was determined using observable market data including the Company’s market capitalization and valuation multiples compared to recent financial industry acquisition multiples for similar institutions to estimate the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit.  Based on the results of the September 30, 2010 impairment testing, which indicated no impairment, the Company concluded its goodwill was not impaired as of September 30, 2010.  The Company can make no assurances that future impairment tests will not result in goodwill impairments.  

On May 8, 2009, the Company’s subsidiary, Landmark National Bank, assumed approximately $6.4 million in deposits in connection with a branch acquisition.  As part of the transaction, Landmark National Bank agreed to pay a deposit premium of 1.75 percent on the core deposit balance as of 270 days after the close of the transaction.  The core deposit premium, based on the acquired core deposit balances, was $86,000.  The final core deposit premium, measured on February 2, 2010, was $49,000.  The following is an analysis of changes in the core deposit intangible assets:

As of September 30, 2010, the Company owned three investments in pooled trust preferred securities with an original cost basis of $2.5 million, which represent investments in pools of collateralized debt obligations issued by financial institutions and insurance companies.  Included in the gross unrealized losses at September 30, 2010, are noncredit-related losses of $917,000 related to two investments in pooled trust preferred securities, Preferred Term Security (“PreTSL”) VIII and PreTSL IX, which were determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.  The amortized cost of PreTSL VIII and PreTSL IX was $1.1 million at September 30, 2010.  During 2009, $854,000 of credit-related impairment losses was recognized on these two securities.  A credit-related, other-than-temporary impairment charge of $242,000 was taken during the third quarter of 2010 for the remaining cost basis of the third investment in a pooled trust preferred security, PreTSL XVII, and as a result the security was determined to have no value.  Additional credit-related, other-than-temporary impairment charges of $140,000 and $107,000 had previously been recorded on PreTSL XVII during the second quarter of 2010 and the fourth quarter of 2009, respectively.  The fair value of PreTSL VIII and PreTSL IX totaled $214,000 at September 30, 2010, while the $917,000 of unrealized losses were included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.  The fair value of the three securities totaled $261,000 at December 31, 2009, while $1.3 million of unrealized losses were included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.

The Company performs quarterly reviews of the investment portfolio to determine if investment securities have any declines in fair value which might be considered other-than-temporary.  The initial review begins with all securities in an unrealized loss position.  The Company’s assessment of other-than-temporary impairment is based on its reasonable judgment of the specific facts and circumstances impacting each individual security at the time such assessments are made.  The Company reviews and considers all available information, including expected cash flows, the structure of the security, the credit quality of the underlying assets and the current and anticipated market conditions.  Any credit-related impairments on debt securities are realized through a charge to operations.  If an equity security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the entire impairment is realized through a charge to earnings.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell its municipal obligations in an unrealized loss position until the recovery of its cost.  Due to the issuers’ continued satisfaction of the securities’ obligations in accordance with their contractual terms and the expectation that they will continue to do so, the evaluation of the fundamentals of the issuers’ financial condition and other objective evidence, the Company believes that the municipal obligations identified in the tables above were temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

The receipt of principal, at par, and interest on mortgage-backed securities is guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored agency guarantor, such that the Company believes that its mortgage-backed securities do not expose the Company to credit-related losses.  Based on these factors, along with the Company’s intent to not sell the security and the Company’s belief that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, the Company believes that the mortgage-backed securities identified in the tables above were temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  The Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio consists of securities underwritten to the standards of and guaranteed by the government-sponsored agencies of FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company determined that an equity investment in a financial institution was other-than-temporarily impaired.  The Company recorded a $9,000 other-temporary-impairment charge equal to the cost of the equity investment during the third quarter of 2010, as the remaining fair value of the equity investment was immaterial.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company owned three investments in pooled trust preferred securities with an original cost basis of $2.5 million.  The market for these securities is considered to be inactive.  The Company used discounted cash flow models to assess if the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected was less than the amortized cost, which would result in an other-than-temporary impairment associated with the credit of the underlying collateral.  The assumptions used in preparing the discounted cash flow models include the following: estimated discount rates, estimated deferral and default rates on collateral, expected recoveries, and estimated cash flows including all information available through the date of issuance of the financial statements.  The discounted cash flow analysis included a review of all issuers within the collateral pool and incorporated higher deferral and default rates, as compared to historical rates, in the cash flow projections through maturity.

As of September 30, 2010, the analysis of the Company’s three investments in pooled trust preferred securities indicated that the unrealized losses on two of the three securities were not credit-related.  However, the analysis indicated that the unrealized loss was other-than-temporary on PreTSL XVII.  The increase in nonperforming collateral in PreTSL XVII resulted in a credit-related other-than-temporary impairment for the remaining cost basis of $242,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The cumulative realized loss on PreTSL XVII totaled $489,000.  The Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis, using the factors noted above to determine the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment that was applicable to either credit losses or other factors.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company had recorded credit losses on all three PreTSL securities totaling $1.3 million through charges to earnings during 2009 and the first nine months of 2010.

It is reasonably possible that the fair values of the Company’s investment securities could decline in the future if the overall economy and/or the financial condition of some of the issuers of these securities deteriorate and/or if the liquidity in markets for these securities declines.  As a result, there is a risk that additional other-than-temporary impairments may occur in the future and any such amounts could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The fair value of the Company’s investment securities may also decline from an increase in market interest rates, as the market prices of these investments move inversely to their market yields.

Other investment securities primarily include restricted investments in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock.  The carrying value of the FHLB stock at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $6.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively and the carrying value of the FRB stock at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $1.8 million.  These securities are not readily marketable and are required for regulatory purposes and borrowing availability.  Since there are no available market values for these securities, they are carried at cost.  Redemption of these investments at par value is at the option of the FHLB or FRB.  The Company has assessed the ultimate recoverability of these investments and believe that no impairment has occurred.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had a loan relationship totaling $853,000 that has been classified as a troubled debt restructuring.  As of September 30, 2010, the value of the collateral securing the loan was deficient by $308,000, which was reserved for in the allowance related to impaired loans.  The relationship consisted of two restructured 1-4 family residential real estate loans to a borrower who was experiencing financial difficulty and granted concessions at renewal.  The interest rate on $308,000 of the loan relationship was judged to be below market for new debt with similar risk, and thus both of these loans were classified as troubled debt restructurings.  These restructured loans are performing in accordance with their modified terms and the Company believes it probable that all amounts due under the modified terms of the agreements will be collected.  At September 30, 2010 both loans were classified as non-accrual and impaired.
