Item 8.01  Other Events


          On August 18, 2008, John M. Nesselrode, Vice President of
NASB Financial, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into a Rule 10b5-1
trading plan (the "Plan") with a broker to manage the sale of up to
5,000 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan.  The Plan expires on August 15, 2009, unless
renewed, extended, or terminated earlier by Mr. Nesselrode.

     Mr. Nesselrode will have no control over the timing of stock sales
under the Plan, thereby allowing trades to occur exempt from "blackout
periods" prescribed by the Company's Insider Trading Policy.  Any
transactions under the Plan will be reported by Mr. Nesselrode through
individual From 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    The Plan is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions
of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is in
conformity with an exception permitted in the Company's Insider Trading
Policy.  Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to establish prearranged
written stock plans.  A Rule 10b5-1 plan must be entered into in good
faith at a time when the insider is not aware of material, nonpublic
information.
