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 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, 2006, 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, 2006, condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The results of the interim period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

2. Income Tax

The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 provides a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions for which reserves have been established. The Company’s adoption of FIN 48 did not have any effect on its consolidated financial statements. As of the date of adoption, our gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled approximately $1.2 million. The anticipated amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact our effective tax rate was $777,000. Included in this unrecognized tax benefit, are interest and penalties of $245,000. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense in our consolidated statements of earnings.

Tax years that remain open and subject to audit include the years 2003 through 2006 for both federal and state. We believe that it is reasonably possible that a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $200,000 is possible during the next 12 months.

3. Stock Based Compensation

A summary of option activity during the first six months of 2007 is presented below.

	Shares	Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual term	Aggregate intrinsic value
Outstanding at December 31, 2006	246,226	$	24.18	7.77 years	$	755,000
Granted	—	—		—	n/a
Cancelled	—	—		—	n/a
Exercised	1,181	17.35		—	$	11,101
Outstanding at June 30, 2007	245,045	$	24.22	7.30 years	$	1,005,000
Exercisable at June 30, 2007	130,695	$	22.90	6.39 years	$	709,000
Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2007	235,015	$	24.16	7.27 years	$	978,000

Additional information about stock options exercised is presented below.

	Six months ended June 30,
	2007		2006
Intrinsic value of options exercised	$	11,101	$	7,360
Cash received from options exercised	$	20,491	$	9,491
Tax benefit realized from options exercised	$	3,774	$	2,503

As of June 30, 2007, there was $287,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4 years. The total fair value (at vest date) of shares vested during the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $348,000 and $103,000 respectively.

4. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of all potential common shares outstanding during each period. Earnings and dividends per share for prior periods have been adjusted to give effect to the 5% stock dividend paid by the Company in December 2006.

The shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are shown below:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Net earnings available to common stockholders	$	1,353,603	$	1,596,090	$	2,598,223	$	3,017,004

Dilutive stock options	19,726		12,981		19,050		10,265
Weighted average common shares (diluted)	2,345,584		2,353,355		2,349,815		2,350,464

Net earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.58	$	0.68	$	1.11	$	1.29
Diluted	$	0.58	$	0.68	$	1.11	$	1.28

5. Other Comprehensive Income

The Company’s other comprehensive loss consists of the unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and an unrealized gain on an interest rate swap, which was terminated in December 2006, as shown below.

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2007			2006			2007			2006
Unrealized holding losses on securities and interest rate swap	$	(2,070,828	)	$	(1,392,755	)	$	(1,793,293	)	$	(1,460,516	)

Accumulated other comprehensive loss related entirely to investment securities at June 30, 2007. The components at June 30, 2006 were $113,000 in cash flow hedging activities and ($1,558,000) in available for sale investment securities.

6. Other Intangible Assets

The following is an analysis of changes in the core deposit intangible assets:

	Six months ended June, 30,
	2007					2006
	Fair value at acquisition		Accumulated Amortization			Fair value at acquisition		Accumulated Amortization
Balance at beginning of period	$	5,396,065	$	(1,667,478	)	$	2,818,602	$	(774,588	)
Additions	—		—			2,577,463		—

Balance at end of period	$	5,396,065	$	(2,072,358	)	$	5,396,065	$	(1,228,525	)

The following is an analysis of changes in the mortgage servicing rights:

	Six months ended June, 30,
	2007						2006
	Cost			Accumulated Amortization			Cost			Accumulated Amortization
Balance at beginning of period	$	791,840		$	(489,718	)	$	775,666		$	(401,467	)
Additions	10,432			—			40,616			—

Amortization	—			(65,217		)	—			(70,235		)
Balance at end of period	$	774,581		$	(527,244	)	$	791,691		$	(447,111	)

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” on January 1, 2007 and elected to maintain the amortized cost method and carry the mortgage servicing rights at the lower of cost or market value. The balance of the mortgage servicing rights can fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying loans serviced. The mortgage servicing rights correspond to loans serviced by the Company for unrelated third parties with outstanding principal balances of $95.6 million and $101.8 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Gross service fee income related to such loans was $62,000 and $67,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively, which is included in fees and service charges in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Gross service fee income related to such loans was $126,000 and $135,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.

Aggregate amortization expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, was $236,000 and $260,000, respectively and $470,000 and $524,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The following depicts estimated amortization expense for the Company’s core deposit intangible assets and mortgage servicing rights for the remainder of 2007 and in successive years ending December 31:

Year	Amount
2007	$	460,000
2008	832,000
2009	631,000
2010	500,000
2011	402,000
Thereafter	736,000

7. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for certain hybrid financial instruments containing embedded derivatives, and clarifies the derivative accounting requirements for interest and principal-only strip securities and interests in securitized financial assets. It also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and eliminates a previous prohibition on qualifying special-purpose entities from holding certain derivative financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 became effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after January 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. SFAS No. 156 specifies situations in which servicing assets and servicing liabilities must be recognized. It requires these assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value and specifies acceptable measurement methods subsequent to their recognition. Separate presentation in the financial statements and additional disclosures are also required. The Company adopted SFAS No. 156 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of the SFAS No. 156 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Also in March 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position 85-4-1 (Position), “Accounting for Life Settlement Contracts by Third Party Investors”. The Position provides initial and subsequent measurement guidance and financial statement presentation and disclosure guidance for investments by third-party investors in life settlement contracts. The investments must be accounted for by either (a) recognizing the initial investment at transaction price plus direct external costs and capitalizing continuing costs, with no gain recognized in earnings until the insured event occurs, or (b) recognizing the initial investment at transaction price and remeasuring the investment at fair value at each reporting period, with fair value changes recognized in earnings as they occur. The Company began applying the guidance in the Position beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of the Position did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements for existing financial instruments. For calendar year companies, SFAS

No. 157 is effective beginning January 1, 2008. We do not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”, was ratified. EITF Issue 06-4 addresses accounting for separate agreements that split life insurance policy benefits between an employer and employee. The EITF Issue 06-4 requires the employer to recognize a liability for future benefits payable to an employee under these agreements. The effects of applying EITF Issue 06-4 must be recognized through either a change in accounting principle through an adjustment to equity or through the retrospective application to all prior periods. For calendar year companies, the EITF Issue 06-4 is effective beginning January 1, 2008. We do not expect that adoption of the EITF Issue 06-4 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the EITF Issue 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance — Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4”, was ratified. The EITF Issue 06-5 addresses accounting for what could be realized as an asset and provides clarification regarding additional amounts included in the contractual terms of an individual policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. The effects of applying this issue must be recognized through an adjustment to equity or through the retrospective application to all prior periods. The Company adopted EITF issue 06-5 effective beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of EITF Issue 06-5 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 allows companies to elect fair-value measurement of specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts when an eligible asset or liability is initially recognized or when an event, such as a business combination triggers a new basis of accounting for that asset or liability. The election, called the “fair-value option,” will enable companies to reduce the volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. The election is available for eligible assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis without electing it for identical assets or liabilities under certain restrictions. For calendar year companies, SFAS No. 159 is effective beginning January 1, 2008. We do not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview. Landmark Bancorp, Inc. is a 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 Global Market under the symbol “LARK”. Landmark National Bank is dedicated to providing quality financial and banking services to its local communities. Landmark National Bank originates commercial, commercial real estate, one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, consumer loans, multi-family residential mortgage loans and home equity loans.

Our results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. In addition, we are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that our interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different times, or at different speeds, than our interest-bearing liabilities. Our results of operations are also affected by non-interest income, such as service charges, loan fees and gains and losses from the sale of newly originated loans and investments. Our principal operating expenses, aside from interest expense, consist of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy costs, federal deposit insurance costs, data processing expenses and provision for loan losses.

We are significantly impacted by prevailing economic conditions including federal monetary and fiscal policies and federal regulations of financial institutions. Deposit balances are influenced by numerous factors such as competing personal investments, the level of personal income and the personal rate of savings within our market areas. Factors influencing lending activities include the demand for housing and the interest rate pricing competition from other lending institutions.

Critical Accounting Policies. Critical accounting policies are those which are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and require our management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of investment securities, accounting for income taxes and the accounting related to business acquisitions, all of which involve significant judgment by our management.

We perform periodic and systematic detailed reviews of our lending portfolio to assess overall collectability. The level of the allowance for loan losses reflects our estimate of the collectability of the loan portfolio. While these estimates are based on substantive methods for determining allowance requirements, nevertheless, actual outcomes may differ significantly from estimated results. Additional explanation of the methodologies used in establishing this reserve is provided in the “Asset Quality and Distribution” section.

We report our investment securities at estimated fair values based on published market ascertainable values, which are obtained from independent sources. We perform periodic reviews of the fair value of investment securities to determine if any declines in value might be considered other than temporary. Our most recent review showed that the decrease in fair value of the securities, resulting in an unrealized loss position, was related to changes in interest rates. None of the unrealized losses are related to credit deterioration. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these

securities until market values recover, including up to the maturity date. Although we believe that our estimates of the fair values of investment securities to be reasonable, economic and market factors may affect the amounts that will ultimately be realized from these investments.

The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Under FIN 48, an income tax position will be recognized if it is more likely than not that it will be sustained upon IRS examination, based upon its technical merits. Once that status is met, the amount recorded will be the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Changes in estimates regarding the actual outcome of these future tax consequences, including the effects of IRS examinations and examinations by other state agencies, could materially impact our financial position and results of operations.

We have completed several business and asset acquisitions which have generated significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets and related amortization. The values assigned to goodwill and intangibles, as well as their related useful lives, are subject to judgment and estimation by the Company. Goodwill and intangibles related to acquisitions are determined and based on purchase price allocations. Valuation of intangible assets is generally based on the estimated cash flows related to those assets, while the initial value assigned to goodwill is the residual of the purchase price over the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Performing such a discounted cash flow analysis involves the use of estimates and assumptions. Useful lives are determined based on the expected future period of the benefit of the asset, the assessment of which considers various characteristics of the asset, including the historical cash flows. Due to the number of estimates involved related to the allocation of purchase price and determining the appropriate useful lives of intangible assets, we have identified purchase accounting as a critical accounting policy. If the carrying value of the goodwill and other intangible assets exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased $656,000, or 7.9%, to $9.0 million from $8.3 million in the same period of 2006, resulting from increased interest income on both investment securities and loans. Average loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $383.9 million from $393.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Offsetting the decline in average loans was the rise in interest rates experienced throughout 2006, which contributed to the increased interest income. As a result, interest income on loans increased $351,000, or 5.1%, to $7.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Average investment securities increased from $144.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, to $160.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Along with the increase in average investments for the comparable periods, and despite the increased holdings of tax exempt investments, interest income on investment securities increased $325,000, or 22.4%, to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006. The increase in interest rates, which resulted in yields on our investments purchased being higher than the yields on the investments which either matured or were sold during the past year, was responsible for the increase in income from investment securities.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased $1.3 million, or 8.2%, to $17.8 million from $16.5 million in the same period of 2006, resulting from increased interest income on both investment securities and loans. Average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $383.7 million from $392.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Offsetting the decline in average loans was the rise in interest rates experienced throughout 2006, which contributed to the increased interest income. As a result, interest income on loans increased $837,000, or 6.2%, to $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Average investment securities increased from $149.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, to $156.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Along with the increase in average investments for the comparable periods, and despite the increased holdings of tax exempt investments, interest income on investment securities increased $589,000, or 20.5%, to $3.5 million for the first six months of 2007, as compared to the same period of 2006. The increase in interest rates, which resulted in yields on our investments purchased being higher than the yields on the investments which either matured or were sold during the past year, was responsible for the increase in income from investment securities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased $736,000, or 19.4%, as compared to the same period of 2006. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense on deposits increased $746,000, or 28.5%. Average deposits increased from $389.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 to $398.1 million for the quarter ended June 30,

2007. The increase in interest expense on deposits resulted from higher deposit balances as well as the repricing of deposits due to the rise in interest rates. Average borrowings for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $99.2 million from $107.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Despite the lower average balances, interest expense on borrowings only decreased $10,000, or 0.8%, to $1.2 million. The increase in interest rates, which increased the cost of our borrowings, offset the lower average borrowings.

Interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased $1.6 million, or 21.6%, as compared to the same period of 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, interest expense on deposits increased $1.6 million, or 31.1%. Average deposits increased from $392.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $397.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in interest expense on deposits resulted from higher deposit balances as well as the repricing of deposits due to the rise in interest rates. Average borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to $96.5 million from $103.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Despite the lower average balances, interest expense on borrowings increased $7,000, or 0.3%, to $2.3 million. The increase in interest rates, which increased the cost of our borrowings, more than offset the lower average borrowings.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007, totaled $4.5 million, decreasing $80,000, or 1.8%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This decline in net interest income was due primarily to the increases in our cost of funding outpacing the increases in our yields on interest earning assets. Average earning assets increased during the second quarter of 2007, increasing to $544.3 million from $538.6 million for the second quarter of 2006. However, as a result of increased investments in tax exempt municipal securities, our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis remained at 3.50%.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007, totaled $9.0 million, decreasing $227,000, or 2.5%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decline in net interest income was due primarily to the increases in our cost of funding outpacing the increases in our yields on interest earning assets. Average earning assets decreased during the first six months 2007, decreasing to $540.4 million from $541.4 million for the first six months of 2006. However, as a result of increased investments in tax exempt municipal securities, our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis remained at 3.54%.

Provision for Loan Losses. We maintain, and our 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 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. Allowance 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 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, was $60,000, compared to a provision of $15,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2006. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $125,000, compared to a provision of $75,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2006. One measure of the adequacy of the allowance for estimated losses

on loans is the ratio of the allowance to the total loan portfolio. At June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $4.1 million and $4.0 million, or 1.1% of gross loans outstanding. For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses, refer to the “Asset Quality and Distribution” section.

Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $427,000, or 22.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007, to $1.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. In the second quarter of 2006, a $682,000 gain was recognized with the sale of certain assets, primarily the 800 Poyntz facility, which was partially offset by $444,000 in net losses on sale of investments. These items comprised 55.7% of the decrease in non-interest income for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to 2006. Additionally, this decline was the result of a $67,000, or 20.7%, decrease in gains on sale of loans, a decrease in fees and service charges, led by a decline in loan fees of $84,000 and a $34,000 decline in deposit related income.

Non-interest income decreased $790,000, or 21.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, to $2.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease in 2007 primarily related to certain items recognized during the first six months of 2006, comprised of $728,000 in gains recognized in connection with the sale of certain assets, primarily the 800 Poyntz facility during the first six months of 2006, which was partially offset by $300,000 in net losses on sale of investments as we restructured our investment portfolio by selling lower yielding, shorter-term investments and purchasing higher yielding, longer-term investments during the second quarter of 2006. Furthering this decline was a decrease in gains on sale of loans of $147,000, or 25.1%, as well as a decrease in fees and service charges led by a decline in loan fees of $142,000 and a decline of $82,000 in deposit related income. Offsetting these declines was a $70,000 increase in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance, which resulted from the purchase of additional policies totaling $7.5 million in March 2006.

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $59,000, or 1.4%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. Contributing to the reduction in non-interest expense was a $79,000 decrease in compensation and benefits and a $23,000 decrease in amortization expense. Offsetting those reductions were increases of $15,000 and $35,000 in data processing and other non-interest expense, respectively.

Non-interest expense decreased $139,000, or 1.6%, to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Contributing to the reduction in non-interest expense was a $172,000 decrease in compensation and benefits and a $54,000 decrease in amortization expense. Offsetting those reductions were increases of $57,000 and $42,000 in data processing and professional fees, respectively.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $251,000, or 38.0%, from $660,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, to $409,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in income tax expense was the result of a $493,000 decrease in earnings before income taxes for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the second quarter of 2006 and increased purchases of tax exempt municipal bonds and bank owned life insurance. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2007, decreased to 23.2% from 29.3% in the second quarter of 2006.

Income tax expense decreased $509,000, or 39.8%, from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, to $770,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in income tax expense was the result of a $927,000 decrease in earnings before income taxes for the first six months of 2007 as compared to the six months quarter of 2006 and increased purchases of tax exempt municipal bonds and bank owned life insurance. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2007, decreased to 22.9% from 29.8% in the first six months of 2006.

Asset Quality and Distribution. Our primary investing activities are the origination of commercial, mortgage, consumer loans and the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities. We have concentrated on generating commercial loans over the past few years and are pleased with the growth in this segment of our loan portfolio. Generally, we originate fixed-rate, residential mortgage loans with maturities in excess of ten years for sale in the secondary market. While the January 1, 2006 First Manhattan Bancorporation, Inc. acquisition increased our one-to-four family residential loan totals, as the majority of the acquired loans were residential, we plan to continue our strategy to expand our commercial lending activities. Total assets increased to $603.4 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $590.6 million at December 31, 2006. While net loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $856,000 to $380.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006, the composition of loans changed more substantially as our commercial and commercial real estate loans increased by $16.4 million and our one-to-four family residential loans decreased by $15.6 million.

Loans consist of the following:

	June 30, 2007		December 31, 2006
Real estate loans:
One-to-four family residential	$	135,712,108	$	151,299,911
Commercial	107,807,342		98,314,119
Construction	30,675,409		33,600,313
Commercial loans	100,571,287		90,758,185
Consumer loans	9,784,207		9,595,428
Total	384,550,353		383,567,956

Less: Deferred loan fees and loans in process	266,122		214,665
Less: Allowance for loan losses	4,105,129		4,029,710
Loans, net	$	380,179,102	$	379,323,581

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for losses on loans based on our evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans with respect to which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, level of classified loans and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate allowance for loan losses. We believe that we use the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in establishing the allowance for loan losses.

A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses is as follows:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2007			2006
Beginning balance	$	4,029,710		$	3,151,373
Allowance of acquired bank	—			891,374
Provision for loan losses	125,000			75,000
Charge-offs	(85,873		)	(121,733		)
Recoveries	36,292			52,610
Ending balance	$	4,105,129		$	4,048,624

We believe that the quality of the loan portfolio continues to be strong. Given the recent subprime mortgage lending concerns within the industry, it is worth noting that this pipeline growth has occurred while continuing our practice of not offering subprime loan products. As of June 30, 2007, loans with a balance of $3.9 million were on non-accrual status, which was 1.0% of total loans, compared to loan balances totaling $3.6 million on non-accrual status, or 0.9% of total loans, as of December 31, 2006. In addition, the ratio of non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.7% as of both December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007. Net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $50,000 compared to $69,000 for the comparable period of 2006. Residential home loans comprised 57.7% of the $3.9 million non-accrual balance at June 30, 2007. These loans have been underwritten according to our residential lending policies and are secured by real estate collateral, and in many instances, private mortgage insurance or government guarantees. We have historically incurred minimal losses on mortgage loans based upon collateral values and underlying insurance or guarantees. We are aggressively pursuing collection activity of these loans which should enable the collection of outstanding principal.

Liability Distribution. 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. Total deposits increased $1.6 million to $446.1 million at June 30, 2007, from $444.5 million at December 31, 2006. Borrowings increased $9.6 million to $100.0 million at June 30, 2007, from $90.4 million at December 31, 2006.

Non-interest bearing demand accounts at June 30, 2007, were $51.1 million, or 11.5% of deposits, compared to $48.4 million, or 10.9% of deposits, at December 31, 2006. Certificates of deposit increased to $232.9 million, or 52.2% of deposits, at June 30, 2007, from $231.1 million, or 52.0% of deposits at December 31, 2006. Money market and NOW demand accounts decreased to $134.7 million at June 30, 2007, or 30.2% of deposits, from $137.3 million, or 30.9% of deposits, at December 31, 2006. Savings accounts decreased to $27.3 million at June 30, 2007, or 6.1% of deposits, from $27.7 million, or 6.2% of deposits, at December 31, 2006.

Certificates of deposit at June 30, 2007, which were scheduled to mature in one year or less, totaled $195.7 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.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments. The following table presents our contractual obligations, defined as operating lease obligations and principal payments due on non-deposit obligations with maturities in excess of one year as of June 30, 2007, for the periods indicated. Unrealized tax benefits related to tax uncertainties which are not more likely than not are not included in the following table as the timing and resolution of these unrealized benefits can not be reasonably estimated.

Contractual obligations	Total		One year or less		One to three years		Four to five years		More than five years
Operating leases	$	157,708	$	64,884	$	91,944	$	880	$	—

FHLB borrowings	70,223,473		8,800,000		40,845,000		16,150,057		4,428,416
Other borrowings	29,789,545		7,143,545		6,150,000		—		16,496,000
Total contractual obligations	$	104,790,726	$	17,268,429	$	49,606,944	$	16,990,937	$	20,924,416

Liquidity. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available for sale. The levels of these assets are dependent on the operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. These liquid assets totaled $170.2 million at June 30, 2007, and $160.6 million at December 31, 2006. 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 generally 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 June 30, 2007, we had outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $61.4 million and $8.8 million of borrowings against our line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank. At June 30, 2007, our total borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was $111.7 million. We also had other borrowings of $29.8 million at June 30, 2007, which included $16.5 million of subordinated debentures, $6.2 million of long-term debt and $7.1 million in repurchase agreements.

As a provider of financial services, we routinely issue financial guarantees in the form of financial and performance standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by us generally to guarantee the payment or performance obligation of a customer to a third party. While these standby letters of credit represent a potential outlay by us, a significant amount of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon. We have recourse against the customer for any amount the customer is required to pay to a third party under a standby letter of credit. The letters of credit are subject to the same credit policies, underwriting standards and approval process as loans originated by us. Most of the standby letters of credit are secured, and in the event of nonperformance by the customer, we have the right to the underlying collateral, which could include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and marketable securities. The contract amount of these standby letters of credit, which represents the maximum potential future payments guaranteed by us, was $2.6 million at June 30, 2007.

At June 30, 2007, we had outstanding loan commitments, excluding standby letters of credit, of $69.3 million. We anticipate that sufficient funds will be available to meet current loan commitments. These commitments consist of 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. Banks and bank holding companies are generally expected to operate at or above the minimum capital requirements. Our ratios are well in excess of regulatory minimums and should allow us to operate without capital adequacy concerns.

At June 30, 2007, we continued to maintain a sound leverage ratio of 8.49% and a total risk based capital ratio of 13.00%. As shown by the following table, our capital exceeded the minimum capital requirements at June 30, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

	Actual				For capital adequacy purposes				To be well- capitalized
Company	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
Leverage	$	49,990	8.49	%	$	23,557	4.0	%	$	29,446	5.0	%

Total Risk Based Capital	$	54,095	13.00	%	$	33,288	8.0	%	$	41,610	10.0	%

At June 30, 2007, Landmark National Bank continued to maintain a sound leverage ratio of 9.26% and a total risk based capital ratio of 14.35%. As shown by the following table, the bank’s capital exceeded the minimum capital requirements at June 30, 2007 (dollars in thousands):

	Actual				For capital adequacy purposes				To be well- capitalized

(4) Net interest margin represents annualized net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE 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 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.

We have been successful in meeting the interest rate sensitivity objectives set forth in our policy. Simulation models are prepared to determine the impact on net interest income for the coming twelve months, including one using rates at June 30, 2007, 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 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	$	(258,000	)	(1.4	)%
200 basis point rising	$	(514,000	)	(2.9	)%
100 basis point falling	$	(137,000	)	(0.8	)%
200 basis point falling	$	(501,000	)	(2.8	)%

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 - Forward-Looking Statements. This document 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.

Our 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 operations and future prospects by us and our subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, the following:

· The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct our operations which may be less favorable than expected and may result in, among other things, a deterioration in the credit quality and value of our assets.

· The economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war or threats thereof, and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks.

· The effects of, and changes in, federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies affecting banking, securities, insurance and monetary and financial matters.

· The effects of changes in interest rates (including the effects of changes in the rate of prepayments of our assets) and the policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

· Our ability to compete with other financial institutions as effectively as we currently intend due to increases in competitive pressures in the financial services sector.

· Our inability to obtain new customers and to retain existing customers.

· The timely development and acceptance of products and services, including products and services offered through alternative delivery channels such as the Internet.

· Technological changes implemented by us and by other parties, including third party vendors, which may be more difficult or more expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequences to us and our customers.

· Our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems.

· Our ability to retain key executives and employees and the difficulty that we may experience in replacing key executives and employees in an effective manner.

· Consumer spending and saving habits which may change in a manner that affects our business adversely.

· Business combinations and the integration of acquired businesses which may be more difficult or expensive than expected.

· The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation.

· Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

· Our ability to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated.

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 us and our business, including other factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the “Risk Factors” section in our Form 10-K.
