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

	Grandview, Missouri (December 4, 2009) - NASB Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:
NASB) announced today net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009,
of $6,088,000 or $0.77 per share.  This compares to net income of $4,242,000
or $0.54 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and compares to net
income of $1,011,000 or $0.13 per share for the quarter ended September 30,
2008.

     Net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 2009, was
$18,709,000 or $2.38 per share, compared to net income of $9,296,000 or
$1.18 per share for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008.

     The total provision for losses was $12.0 million for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2009 ($11.3 million in loan loss provision and $727,000
in provision for loss on real estate owned), compared to a total of $8.2
million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 ($6.2 million in loan
loss provision and $2.0 million in provision for loss on real estate owned).
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.
