FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NASB Financial, Inc. Announces Financial Results

	Grandview, Missouri (December 7, 2010) - NASB Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:
NASB) announced today net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2010,
of $2,235,000 or $0.28 per share.  This compares to a net loss of $460,000
or $(0.06) per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, and compares to
net income of $6,088,000 or $0.77 per share for the quarter ended September
30, 2009.

     Net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2010, was
$6,323,000 or $0.80 per share, compared to net income of $18,709,000 or
$2.38 per share for the twelve months ended September 30, 2009.

     The provision for loan losses was $30.5 million for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2010, compared to $11.3 million for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2009.  The provision for loan losses can fluctuate based
upon management's assessment of changes in economic conditions, the level of
classified assets, and the amount of loan charge-offs and recoveries during
the period.  Management believes that this provision and the corresponding
loan loss reserves are appropriate, given the current level of estimated
credit losses within the Bank's loan portfolios.

     Non-interest expense for the twelve months ended September 30, 2010,
was $57.7 million, compared to $46.7 million for the twelve months ended
September 30, 2009.  This increase resulted primarily from increased
activity the Company's mortgage banking division.
