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, 2010, 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, 2010 consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.  The results of the interim period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.  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’s annual impairment test as of December 31, 2010 concluded that its goodwill was not impaired, however the Company can make no assurances that future impairment tests will not result in goodwill impairments.  The Company concluded there were no triggering events during the first quarter of 2011 that required an interim goodwill impairment test.

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 Company’s core deposit intangible assets:

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 the specific facts and circumstances impacting each individual security.  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 earnings.  If an equity security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the entire impairment is realized through a charge to earnings.

The receipt of principal and interest on U.S. federal agency obligations is guaranteed by the respective government-sponsored agency guarantor, such that the Company believes that its U.S. federal agency obligations do not expose the Company to credit-related losses.  Based on these factors, along with the Company’s intent to not sell the securities and that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis, the Company believes that the U.S. federal agency obligations identified in the tables above were temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The Company’s U.S. federal agency portfolio consists of securities issued by the government-sponsored agencies of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”).

As of March 31, 2011, 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 March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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 securities and the Company’s belief that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their cost basis, the Company believes that the mortgage-backed securities identified in the tables above were temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  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 Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”).

Based on the analysis of its common stock investments in unrealized loss positions identified in the tables above, the Company determined that the securities were temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, the Company owned three 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.  The market for these securities is considered to be inactive.  Two of the Company’s three investments in pooled trust preferred securities, Preferred Term Security (“PreTSL”) VIII and PreTSL IX, have a remaining aggregate cost basis of $1.1 million and non-credit related, unrealized losses of $840,000.  The Company used discounted cash flow models on these two securities 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, assumed recoveries, and estimated cash flows including all information available through the date of issuance of these 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.  The Company also reviewed a stress test of these securities to determine the additional estimated deferrals or defaults in the collateral pool in excess of what the Company believes is likely, before the payments on the individual securities are negatively impacted.

As of March 31, 2011, the analysis of the Company’s PreTSL VIII and PreTSL IX investments indicated that the unrealized losses were not credit-related.  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.  During 2010, the Company’s analysis indicated that its investment in a third pooled trust preferred security, PreTSL XVII, had no value and a credit-related, other-than-temporary impairment charge was recorded for the remaining cost basis of the security.  As of March 31, 2011, the Company had recorded credit losses on all three PreTSL securities totaling $1.3 million through charges to earnings during 2010 and 2009.

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 consist of restricted investments in FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) stock.  The carrying value of the FHLB stock was $6.4 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The carrying value of the FRB stock was $1.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  These securities are not readily marketable and are required for regulatory purposes and borrowing availability.  Since there is no available market values, these securities are carried at cost.  Redemption of these investments at par value is at the option of the FHLB or FRB.  Also included in other investment securities are $60,000 of other miscellaneous investments in the common stock of various correspondent banks which are held for borrowing purposes.  The Company assessed the ultimate recoverability of these investments and believes that no impairment has occurred.

The Company’s key credit quality indicator is a loan’s performance status, defined as accruing or non-accruing.  Performing loans are considered to have a lower risk of loss.  Non-accrual loans are those which the Company believes have a higher risk of loss.  The accrual of interest on non-performing 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 non-accrual or are charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had a $146,000 one-to-four family residential real estate loan that was 90 days delinquent and accruing interest.  There were no loans 90 days delinquent and still accruing interest at December 31, 2010.  The following tables present information on the Company’s past due and non-accrual loans by loan class:

The Company’s impaired loans decreased from $5.3 million at December 31, 2010 to $3.2 million at March 31, 2011.  The difference in the Company’s non-accrual loan balance and impaired loan balance at March 31, 2011 was related to a $531,000 one-to-four family residential real estate loan and a $543,000 municipal loan that were classified as troubled debt restructurings during 2010.  Both loans were current and accruing interest at March 31, 2011, but still classified as impaired.  The following tables present information on impaired loans:

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had two loan relationships totaling $1.4 million that were classified as troubled debt restructurings.  One of the relationships was an $853,000 real estate loan which was secured by real estate the value of which was deficient based on a recent appraisal.  The relationship was restructured into two 1-4 family residential real estate loans to a borrower who was experiencing financial difficulty and to whom we granted concessions at renewal.  The value of the real estate supports $531,000 of the loan relationship.  The $531,000 loan was returned to accrual status during 2010 after a payment history was established, while the remainder of the relationship was charged-off.  A second loan relationship totaling $543,000 to a municipal sanitary and improvement district was restructured in 2010 to extend the maturity and lower the interest rate to allow the district more time to develop.  Both of these loans were current and accruing interest at March 31, 2011, but still classified as impaired.

The Company provides servicing on loans for others with outstanding principal balances of $170.5 million and $168.8 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Gross service fee income related to such loans was $107,000 and $87,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and is included in fees and service charges in the consolidated statements of earnings.
