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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2001, 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, 2001, condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The results of the interim periods ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. The former Landmark Bancshares utilized a September 30 fiscal year. Landmark Bancorp has a December 31 fiscal year end and presented the results for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as a transition period. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001, do not include MNB Bancshares' results.

2.    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 all periods presented have been adjusted to give effect to the 5% stock dividend paid by the Company in December 2001.

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

3.    Comprehensive Income

        The Company's only component of other comprehensive income is the unrealized holding gains on available for sale securities.

4.    Recent Accounting Developments

        Effective October 1, 2001, we adopted certain provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Tangible Assets", as required for goodwill and intangible assets resulting from business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 addresses the accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. It requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. For acquisitions consummated after June 30, 2001, goodwill is not being amortized. It is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level, under certain circumstances. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are 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 142 requires us 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 must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Upon evaluating our goodwill for impairment, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the unit. Therefore, no indication of goodwill impairment exists and accordingly the performance of the second step of the transitional goodwill impairment evaluation described above was not necessary.

        The following table presents information about our intangible assets, which are being amortized in accordance with SFAS 142:

7

        Aggregate amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002, and September 30, 2001, was $91,182 and $47,629, respectively. Aggregate amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and September 30, 2001, was $264,442 and $151,516, respectively. The following is estimated amortization expense for the years ending:

        Prior to our merger with MNB Bancshares on October 9, 2001, there was no goodwill on our balance sheet to be amortized. Pursuant to the guidance of SFAS 142, goodwill resulting from the merger with MNB Bancshares has not been amortized since the merger date but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        General.    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 financial or banking 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, and home equity 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 end. Landmark Bancorp has a December 31 fiscal year end and presented the results for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, on Form 10-K as a transition period. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001, do not include MNB Bancshares' results.

        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. Our 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.

        Our accounting principles and the methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with general practices within the banking industry. Critical accounting policies relate to loans and related earnings. A description of these policies, which significantly affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows, are summarized in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the quarter ended December 31, 2001.

        Summary of Results.    Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2002, increased $564,000, or 88.1%, to $1.2 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net interest income increased $1.7 million, or 108.1%, from $1.5 million to $3.2 million. This improvement in net earnings and net interest income was generally attributable to the merger and our interest bearing liabilities, which repriced downward at a more rapid pace than our interest earning assets. Non-interest income increased $64,000, or 7.5%, from $853,000 to $917,000, as fee and service charges resulted in a $504,000 increase and gains on sale of loans increased $76,000 compared to the prior year. These increases were offset by a reduction of $499,000 in gains on sales of investments. Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million, relating primarily to the combined operating expenses occurring as a result of the merger.

        Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, increased $1.3 million, or 65.1%, to $3.3 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Net interest income increased $4.5 million, or 90.6%, from $4.9 million to $9.4 million. This improvement in net earnings and net interest income was generally attributable to the merger and our interest bearing liabilities, which repriced downward at a more rapid pace than our interest earning assets. Non-interest income increased $700,000, or 38.7%, from $1.8 million to $2.5 million, as fee and service charges resulted in a

9

$1.2 million increase and gains on sale of loans increased $304,000 compared to the prior year. These increases were offset by a reduction of $836,000 in gains on sales of investments. Non-interest expense increased $3.4 million, relating primarily to combined operating expenses occurring as a result of the merger.

        The three months ended September 30, 2002, resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.60 compared to $0.51 for the same period in 2001. Return on average assets was 1.42% for the period compared to 1.25% for the same period in 2001. Return on average stockholders' equity was 11.77% for the period compared to 9.87% for the same period in 2001.

        The nine months ended September 30, 2002, resulted in diluted earnings per share of $1.63 compared to $1.68 for the same period in 2001. Return on average assets was 1.32% for the period compared to 1.26% for the same period in 2001. Return on average stockholders' equity was 11.10% for the period compared to 10.84% for the same period in 2001.

        Our successful completion of a 5% stock repurchase program, initiated in December 2001, resulted in us repurchasing 97,039 shares. During April 2002, our board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program enabling us to repurchase up to an additional 100,800 shares, or 5%, of our outstanding stock. As of September 30, 2002, we have repurchased 191,001 shares at an average cost per share of $21.69.

        The decrease in earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001, was primarily the result of the issuance of 817,806 shares to former MNB Bancshares shareholders as a result of the October 9, 2001, merger. The following table summarizes net income and key performance measures for the two periods presented.

(1)

The ratio has been annualized and is not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

        Interest Income.    Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002, increased $1.3 million, or 36.7%, to $4.9 million from $3.6 million in the same period of 2001. Interest income on loans increased $1.2 million, or 39.6%, during this time period. This increase was primarily related to an increase in average loans resulting from the merger, which overcame the decrease in rates experienced as interest earning assets repriced during 2001. Average loans for the third quarter of 2002 were significantly higher at $234.5 million, compared to $147.9 million for the third quarter of 2001.

        Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, increased $3.0 million, or 24.7%, to $14.9 million from $11.9 million in the same period of 2001. Interest income on loans increased $2.8 million, or 28.8%, during this time period. This increase was primarily related to an increase in average loans resulting from the merger, which overcame the decrease in rates experienced as interest earning assets repriced during 2001. Average loans for the first nine months of 2002 were significantly higher at $234.8 million, compared to $162.1 million for the first nine months of 2001.

        During 2001, the national prime rate decreased from 9.5% to 8.0% in the first quarter, decreased from 8.0% to 6.75% in the second quarter and decreased again from 6.75% to 6.0% in the third quarter. During the first, second and third quarters of 2002, the national prime rate remained unchanged at 4.75%. On November 6, 2002, the Federal Reserve policy makers lowered their benchmark interest rate 50 basis points. This resulted in the lowest target interest rate on overnight loans between banks since 1961. Correspondingly, the national prime rate also decreased 50 basis points to 4.25%. This most recent rate reduction may have a negative impact on our net interest margin. At these historical low interest rate levels, we may have pressure from our commercial loan customers to refinance and obtain lower rates. In addition, the rates paid on deposit products have been driven to significantly low levels during the past year. There is little room for us to lower the rates on our deposit products another 50 basis points.

        Interest Expense.    Interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2002, decreased $365,000, or 18.0%, as compared to the same period of 2001. Interest expense on deposits decreased $395,000, or 22.8%, while interest expense on borrowings, consisting of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka, increased $30,000, or 9.9%, during this time period. This decrease in interest expense resulted despite an increase in deposits resulting from the merger, as a result of the decline in rates. An increase in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, as a result of the merger, precipitated the increased interest expense on borrowings.

        Interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2002, decreased $1.5 million, or 21.4%, as compared to the same period of 2001. Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.2 million, or 20.4%, while interest expense on borrowings, consisting of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka, decreased $349,000, or 25.5%, during this time period. This decrease in interest expense resulted despite an increase in deposits resulting from the merger, as a result of the decline in rates. Reduced borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank after March 31, 2001, precipitated the reduced interest expense on borrowings.

        Net Interest Income.    Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2002, totaled $3.2 million, a 108.1% increase, as compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2001. The improvement was reflective of our growth resulting from the MNB merger. Average earning assets during the third quarter of 2002 totaled $322.2 million, versus $198.5 million during the third quarter of 2001. Net interest margin on earning assets was 3.93% for the third quarter of 2002, up from 3.12% during the third quarter of 2001. The increase in net interest margin reflected the continued growth in commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, primarily related to the MNB merger. The increase was also impacted by the significant decline in interest rates during 2001 as our liabilities repricing exceeded corresponding reductions in our asset yields during 2001. Countering the increase, our net interest margin was negatively impacted by the fact that as part of the 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.

        Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, totaled $9.4 million, a 90.6% increase as compared to $4.9 million for the same period of 2001. The improvement was reflective of our growth resulting from the MNB merger. Average earning assets during the first nine months of 2002 totaled $323.2 million, versus $208.2 million during the same period of 2001. Net interest margin on earning assets was 3.88% for the first nine months of 2002, up from 3.16% during the first nine months of 2001. The increase in net interest margin reflected the continued growth in commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, primarily related to the MNB merger. The increase was also impacted by the significant decline in interest rates during 2001, as our liabilities repricing exceeded corresponding reductions in our asset yields during 2001. Countering the increase, our net interest margin was negatively impacted by the fact that as part of the merger, the assets and liabilities of MNB

11

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.

        Provision for Loan Losses.    The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2002, was $50,000, compared to a provision of $15,000 during the third quarter of 2001. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was $117,000, compared to a provision of $75,000 for the same period in 2001. Our continuous review of the portfolio prompted an increase in our provision, primarily as a result of increased commercial loan balances and some deterioration in the consumer loan portfolio asset quality, due to the current economic downturn. At September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was $2.6 million, or 1.1%, of gross loans outstanding.

        Non-interest Income.    Non-interest income increased $64,000, or 7.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002, to $917,000 compared to the same period in 2001. Fees and service charges increased from $88,000 to $592,000, relating primarily to the MNB merger and the fee income associated with MNB's products and services. Also contributing to this increase was an improvement of 40.3% in gains on sale of loans from $188,000 to $263,000 as residential mortgage financing activity increased due to the MNB merger and the continuing decrease in interest rates. Gains on sales of investments partially offset the increases as fewer equity securities in our investment portfolio were sold during the third quarter in 2002 compared to the same quarter in 2001.

        Non-interest income increased $700,000, or 38.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, to $2.5 million compared to the same period in 2001. Fees and service charges increased from $306,000 to $1.5 million, 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 of 68.4% in gains on sale of loans from $445,000 to $749,000, as residential mortgage financing activity increased due to the MNB merger and the continuing decrease in interest rates. Gains on sales of investments partially offset the increase as fewer equity securities in our investment portfolio were sold during the first nine months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001.

        Non-interest Expense.    Non-interest expense increased $1.1 million to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. Non-interest expense increased $3.4 million to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to

12

the same period in 2001. The increases were primarily related to additional compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment expenses as a result of the MNB merger.

        Income Tax Expense.    Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002, increased $61,000, or 10.9%, from $560,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, increased $354,000, or 25.8%, from $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in income tax expense resulted primarily from an increase in taxable income. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2002 was 34.0% compared to 46.6% for the third quarter of 2001. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was 34.0% compared to 40.4% for the same period of 2001. The reduction in the 2002 effective tax rate compared to 2001 results from the increased level of non-taxable municipal investments and tax credits from MNB as a result of the merger.

        Asset Quality and Distribution.    Total assets declined to $337 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $350 million at December 31, 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.

        Net loans, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decline was primarily the result of refinancings and paydowns in our residential mortgage portfolio. Our loan portfolio composition continues to diversify as a result of pay downs and the merger of MNB. This is evidenced by our one-to-four residential real estate loans comprising 81%, 54% and 47% of total loans as of September 30, 2001, December 31, 2001, and September 30, 2002, respectively.

        Our primary investing activities are the origination of mortgage, consumer, and commercial loans and the purchase of investment and mortgage-backed securities. Generally, we originate long-term, fixed-rate, residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market and do not originate and warehouse those loans for resale in order to speculate on interest rates. During the past nine months, based on our analysis of our asset liability repricing and the current interest rate environment, we have elected to retain within our loan portfolio approximately $8 million of 15-year, fixed-rate, residential mortgage loans.

        The allowance for losses on loans is established through a provision for losses on loans based on management's 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,

13

economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, level of classified loans and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate allowance for losses on loans.

        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 September 30, 2002, loans with a balance of $1.5 million were on non-accrual status, or 0.66% of total loans, compared to a balance of $1.0 million loans on non-accrual status, or 0.43% of total loans, as of December 31, 2001. The ratio of the allowance for losses on loans to non-performing loans decreased to 1.7% as of September 30, 2002, compared to 2.6% as of December 31, 2001.

        Although residential home loans comprised 58% of the $1.5 million non-accrual balance at September 30, 2002, we have historically incurred minimal losses based upon collateral values. We have not experienced significant asset quality deterioration relating to the commercial loans as a result of the current economic downturn. We have seen some deterioration, however, in the consumer loan portfolio asset quality as a result of the current economic conditions. Consequently, we increased the monthly loan loss provision during the third quarter 2002 in response to these developments.

        Along with other financial institutions, we share a concern for the outlook of the economy during the remainder of 2002. A slowdown in economic activity beginning in 2001 severely impacted several major industries as well as the economy as a whole. Even though there are numerous indications of emerging strength, it is not certain that this strength is sustainable. In addition, consumer confidence may be negatively impacted by the recent substantial decline in equity prices. These events could still adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, as a result of which, we could experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans. Many financial institutions have experienced an increase in non-performing assets during this difficult economic period, as even well-established business borrowers have developed cash flow and other business related problems. We believe that the allowance for losses on loans at September 30, 2002, was adequate. While we believe that we use the best information available to determine the allowance for losses on loans, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustment to the allowance for losses on loans. In addition, net earnings could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in establishing the allowance for losses on loans.

        Liability Distribution.    At September 30, 2002, total deposits decreased $12.8 million from December 31, 2001, while borrowing levels decreased $1.3 million during the same period.

        Non-interest bearing demand accounts at September 30, 2002, increased to $20.1 million, or 7.7% of deposits, compared to approximately $19.0 million at December 31, 2001. Certificates of deposit decreased to $150.2 million at September 30, 2002, from $161.2 million at December 31, 2001. Money market and NOW accounts increased to $75.8 million at September 30, 2002, from $73.3 million at December 31, 2001, and were 29.1% of total deposits while savings accounts decreased to $14.4 million from $19.7 million during the same period. The reduction of certificates of deposit is reflective of our excess liquidity position in that we have not bid aggressively on public deposits during the past nine months.

        Certificates of deposit at September 30, 2002, which were scheduled to mature in one year or less, totaled $111.0 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.

        Liquidity.    Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available for sale. The level of these assets are dependent on the operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, respectively, these liquid assets totaled $93.0 million and $97.5 million. During periods in which we are not able to

14

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.

        Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the management strategy. Excess funds are generally invested in short-term investments. In the event funds are required beyond the 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 September 30, 2002, we had outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $27.3 million and had no borrowings outstanding on our line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank. At September 30, 2002, our total borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank was $88.0 million.

        At September 30, 2002, we had outstanding loan commitments of $29.6 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 fund 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 September 30, 2002, we continued to maintain a sound leverage ratio of 10.9% and a total risk based capital ratio of 18.9%. As shown by the following table, our capital exceeded the minimum capital requirements at September 30, 2002 (dollars in thousands):

        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. As of September 30, 2002, we were rated "well capitalized", which is the highest rating available under this capital-based rating system.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK

        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 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 May 31, 2002, 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:

        We believe that no significant changes in our interest rate sensitivity position have occurred since May 31, 2002. We also 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.

•

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