NorthWest Indiana Bancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank SB (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Peoples Service Corporation, NWIN, LLC and NWIN Funding, Inc. The Bancorp has no other business activity other than being a holding company for the Bank. The Bancorp’s earnings are dependent upon the earnings of the Bank. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets of the Bancorp as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The income reported for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2 — Use of Estimates
     Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the disclosures provided. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates associated with the allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term.
Note 3 – Loans Receivable
     Non-performing loans at period end were as follows:
                 
    (Dollars in thousands)

The Bancorp is also an active lender in Porter County, and to a lesser extent, LaPorte, Newton and Jasper counties in Indiana, and Lake, Cook and Will counties in Illinois. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including residences, business assets and consumer assets.

     Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (FAS 123R), “Share-Based Payment”, requires companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employment service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employment service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. Compensation cost will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, stock based compensation expense of $12,000 was recorded, compared to $10,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, stock based compensation expense of $52,000 was recorded, compared to $29,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. It is anticipated that current outstanding vested and unvested options will result in additional compensation expense of approximately $19,000 in 2007 and $46,000 in 2008.
          A summary of option activity under the Bancorp’s stock option plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is presented below:

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, no stock options were granted from the Bancorp’s stock option plan. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, was $59,233 and $90,621.
Note 7 – Adoption of New Accounting Standards
     The Bancorp adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on the Bancorp’s financial statements. The Bancorp and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of the state of Indiana, Nevada and Maryland. The Bancorp is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for

years before 2003. The Bancorp does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months. The Bancorp recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Bancorp did not have any amounts accrued for interest and penalties at September 30, 2007.
     The Bancorp adopted FASB Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, as of January 1, 2007. This Statement provides the following: 1) revised guidance on when a servicing asset and servicing liability should be recognized; 2) requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; 3) permits an entity to elect to measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur; 4) upon initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities for securities which are identified as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in the fair value of servicing assets or liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and 5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional footnote disclosures. Currently, the Bancorp holds servicing assets consisting of mortgage servicing rights and no servicing liabilities. As a result of the adoption of FASB Statement No. 156, mortgage servicing rights are initially measured at fair value and subsequent valuations of mortgage servicing rights are measured using the amortization method, which amortizes the servicing rights in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss. Mortgage servicing rights are assessed for impairment or increased obligation based on fair value at each reporting date. The Bancorp does not participate in financial hedging activities for its servicing of financial assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Summary
     NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp”) is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Peoples Bank SB, an Indiana savings bank, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bancorp. The Bancorp has no other business activity other than being the holding company for the Bank.
     At September 30, 2007, the Bancorp had total assets of $622.6 million, total loans of $468.4 million and total deposits of $495.1 million. Stockholders’ equity totaled $51.8 million or 8.3% of total assets, with book value per share at $18.44. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, was $1.4 million, or $0.51 earnings per common share for basic and $0.51 for diluted calculations. The annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 0.94%, while the annualized return on average stockholders’ equity (ROE) was 11.12%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $4.4 million, or $1.55 earnings per common share for basic and $1.54 for diluted calculations. The annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 0.95%, while the annualized return on average stockholders’ equity (ROE) was 11.23%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Financial Condition
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total assets increased by $3.6 million (0.6%), with interest-earning assets increasing by $9.6 million (1.7%). At September 30, 2007, interest-earning assets totaled $583.9 million and represented 93.8% of total assets.
     Loans receivable totaled $468.4 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $471.7 million at December 31, 2006. At September 30, 2007, loans receivable represented 80.2% of interest-earning assets, 75.2% of total assets and 94.6% of total deposits. The loan portfolio, which is the Bancorp’s largest asset, is a significant source of both interest and fee income. The Bancorp’s lending strategy stresses quality loan growth, product and geographic diversification, and competitive and profitable pricing. The loan portfolio includes $47.1 million (10.1%) in construction and development loans, $233.4 million (49.7%) in residential mortgage loans, $12.9 million (2.8%) in multifamily loans, $0.8 million (0.2%) in a farmland loan, $120.8 million (25.8%) in commercial real estate loans, $2.6 million (0.6%) in consumer loans, $41.9 million (8.9%) in commercial business loans and $9.1 million (1.9%) in government and other loans. Adjustable rate loans comprised 57.3% of total loans at September 30, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, loans decreased by $3.3 million (0.7%). During the period, growth occurred in commercial real estate, while construction and development, multifamily, consumer, commercial business and government loan balances decreased. During the nine month period, loan balances decreased as a result of expected construction and development loan, government, and commercial business loan pay-off activity.
     The Bancorp is primarily a portfolio lender. Mortgage banking activities are generally limited to the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities greater than 15 years. These loans are identified as held for sale when originated and sold, on a case-by-case basis, in the secondary market as part of the Bancorp’s efforts to manage interest rate risk. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Bancorp sold $9.9 million in fixed rate mortgages originated for sale compared to $6.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Net gains realized from sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, totaled $172 thousand compared to $107 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2007, the Bancorp had $190 thousand in loans that were classified as held for sale.
     The primary objective of the Bancorp’s investment portfolio is to provide for the liquidity needs of the Bancorp and to contribute to profitability by providing a stable flow of dependable earnings. Funds are generally invested in federal funds, interest bearing balances in financial institutions, U.S. government securities, federal agency obligations and obligations of state and local municipalities. The securities portfolio totaled $105.6 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $99.0 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $6.6 million (6.6%). At September 30, 2007, the securities portfolio represented 18.1% of interest-earning assets and 17.0% of total assets. The securities portfolio was comprised of 26.0% in U.S. government agency debt securities, 46.7% in U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, 26.0% in municipal securities, and 1.3% in a trust preferred security. At September 30, 2007, securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) totaled $89.3 million or 84.6% of total securities. AFS securities are those the Bancorp may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons. In addition, at September 30, 2007, the Bancorp had $3.5 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock. At September 30, 2007, $6.1 million was maintained in interest bearing balances in financial institutions.
     The allowance for loan losses (ALL) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. A loan is charged-off against the allowance by management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur.

     The determination of the amounts of the ALL and provisions for loan losses is based on management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio with consideration given to all known relevant internal and external factors that affect loan collectability as of the reporting date. The appropriateness of the current year provision and the overall adequacy of the ALL are determined through a disciplined and consistently applied quarterly process that combines a review of the current position with a risk assessment worksheet.
     The Risk Assessment Worksheet covers the residential, commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer loan portfolios. Management uses a risk rating system to assist in determining the appropriate level for the ALL. Management assigns risk factors to non-performing loans; loans that management has internally classified as impaired, substandard, doubtful, loss, or watch; and, performing loans.
     Risk factors for non-performing and internally classified loans are based on an analysis of the estimated collateral liquidation value for individual loans defined as substandard or doubtful. Estimated collateral liquidation values are based on established loan underwriting standards and adjusted for current mitigating factors on a loan-by-loan basis. Aggregate substandard loan collateral deficiencies are determined for residential, commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer loan portfolios. These deficiencies are then stated as a percentage of the total substandard balances to determine the appropriate risk factors.
     Risk factors for performing and non-classified loans are based on the average net charge-offs for the most recent five years, which are then stated as a percentage of average loans for the same period. Historical risk factors are calculated for residential, commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer loans. The historical factors are then adjusted for current subjective risks attributable to: local and national economic factors; loan growth and changes in loan composition; organizational structure; composition of loan staff; loan concentrations; policy changes and out of market lending activity.
     Non-performing loans include those loans that are 90 days or more past due and those loans that have been placed on non-accrual status. Non-performing loans totaled $8.3 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $3.1 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $5.2 million or 168.1%. The increase in non-performing loans at September 30, 2007, is primarily related to two past due commercial real estate participation loans totaling $5.0 million, which have also been classified as substandard and impaired during the current quarter. For both loans, management is in periodic contact with the lead lenders and continues to gather information regarding steps required for protection of the bank’s interest in the collateral. Based on the current information provided by the lead lenders, management has had to make certain estimates regarding both projects’ cash flows, collateral values and strength of personal guarantees. Based upon these estimates, management believes that there is sufficient collateral and personal guarantees to repay the debt. To the extent that actual cash flows, collateral values and strength of personal guarantees differ from current estimates, additional provisions to the allowance for loan losses may be required. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.76% at September 30, 2007, compared to 0.65% at December 31, 2006. The ratio of non-performing loans to total assets was 1.33% at September 30, 2007, compared to 0.50% at December 31, 2006. The September 30, 2007 non-performing loan balances include $7.1 million in loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and $1.2 million in accruing loans which were contractually past due 90 days or more. Loans, internally classified as substandard totaled $10.9 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in substandard loans at September 30, 2007, is related to the previously mentioned commercial real estate participation loans in the amount of $5.0 million. No loans were classified as doubtful or loss. Substandard loans include non-performing loans and potential problem loans, where information about possible credit issues or other conditions causes management to question the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan covenants or repayment terms. In addition to identifying and monitoring non-performing and other classified loans, management maintains a list of watch loans. Watch loans represent loans management is closely monitoring due to one or more factors that may cause the loan to become classified. Watch loans totaled $9.9 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $7.6 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in watch loans at September 30, 2007 is related to commercial business and real estate loans with potential cash flow issues.
     A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a borrower will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. At September 30, 2007, impaired loans totaled $5.9 million, compared to $1.9 million at December 31, 2006. The September 30, 2007, impaired loan balances consist of five loans to four commercial borrowers that are secured by business assets and real estate, and are personally guaranteed by the owners of the businesses. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, a previously reported impaired commercial real estate loan totaling $230 thousand was charged-off, while two commercial real estate participation loans totaling $5.0 million and one commercial business loan totaling $141 thousand were classified as impaired. The September 30, 2007, impaired loan balances were also included in the

Table of Contents

previously discussed non-performing and substandard loan balances. There were no other loans considered to be impaired loans as of, or for the quarter ended, September 30, 2007.
          At September 30, 2007, management is of the opinion that there are no loans, except those discussed above, where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as non-accrual, past due or restructured loans. Also, at September 30, 2007, no other interest bearing assets were required to be disclosed as non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problems if such assets were loans. Management does not presently anticipate that any of the non-performing loans or classified loans would materially impact future operations, liquidity or capital resources.
     The Bancorp is a party to financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments, which include commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit, are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The Bancorp has a $1.1 million participation in a $6.4 million letter of credit, which acts as payment support to bondholders. The Bancorp’s management currently believes that the principal of the borrower has the financial capacity to meet future bond repayment obligations. Cash flows from the security collateralizing the letter of credit have been negatively impacted due to the closing of a major tenant. The letter of credit is also secured by a cash collateral account in the amount of $1.0 million. Management continues to monitor the letter of credit and bond repayments.
     For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, $85 thousand in additions to the ALL account were required, compared to $15 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The September 30, 2007 ALL contained $263 thousand in specific allowances for the collateral deficiency associated with two loans totaling $849 thousand, which had been classified as impaired at September 30, 2007. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $201 thousand for the current nine months, compared to charge-offs, net of recoveries of $65 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The ALL provisions take into consideration management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio, loan portfolio balances, changes in the portfolio mix and local economic conditions. In determining the provision for loan loss for the current period, management has given consideration to increased risks associated with in the local economy, changes in loan balances and mix, and asset quality.
     The ALL to total loans was 0.89% at September 30, 2007, compared to 0.90% at December 31, 2006, while the ALL to non-performing loans (coverage ratio) was 50.3% at September 30, 2007, compared to 138.6% at December 31, 2006. The decrease in the coverage ratio is attributable to the two commercial real estate participation loans totaling $5.0 million that were placed in nonaccrual status during the current quarter. The September 30, 2007 balance in the ALL account of $4.2 million is considered adequate by management after evaluation of the loan portfolio, past experience and current economic and market conditions. While management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loans, the whole allowance is available for any loan charge-offs that occur. The allocation of the ALL reflects performance and growth trends within the various loan categories, as well as consideration of the facts and circumstances that affect the repayment of individual loans, and loans which have been pooled as of the evaluation date, with particular attention given to non-performing loans and loans which have been classified as substandard, doubtful or loss. Management has allocated general reserves to both performing and non-performing loans based on current information available.
     At September 30, 2007, the Bancorp had two properties in foreclosed real estate totaling $120 thousand, compared to four properties totaling $323 thousand at December 31, 2006.
     Deposits are a fundamental and cost-effective source of funds for lending and other investment purposes. The Bancorp offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with the primary focus on building and expanding relationships. At September 30, 2007, deposits totaled $495.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, deposits decreased by $17.9 million (3.5%). Checking account balances increased by $3.6 million (3.3%). Savings account balances decreased by $355 thousand (0.7%) during the current period. Money market deposit accounts (MMDA’s) decreased by $25.0 million (18.2%), as a result of planned withdrawals by local governmental units. Certificates of deposit increased by $3.8 million (1.8%), as additional certificates of deposit balances were acquired to replace MMDA’s withdrawals. At September 30, 2007, the deposit base was comprised of 22.5% checking accounts, 22.7% MMDA’s, 10.9% savings accounts and 43.9% certificates of deposit.
     Borrowings are primarily used to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation. At September 30, 2007, borrowed funds totaled $71.6 million compared to $51.5 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $20.1 million (39.1%). During the current period, short-term variable borrowings were utilized for funding requirements, instead of higher rate term deposits, in anticipation of a decrease in the Fed funds rate by the Federal Reserve. Retail repurchase agreements totaled $13.9 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $14.7 million at December 31, 2006, a decrease

10


Table of Contents

of $773 thousand (5.2%). Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) fixed, variable and line of credit advances totaled $55.3 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $35.1 million at December 31, 2006, an increase of $20.2 million (57.5%). During the three months ended September 30, 2007, advance balances increased by $19.4 million as a result of decreases in deposit balances. In addition, other short-term borrowings totaled $2.4 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2006, a decrease of $717 thousand (42.2%).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     For the Bancorp, liquidity management refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals, and pay dividends and operating expenses. Because profitability and liquidity are often conflicting objectives, management attempts to maximize the Bancorp’s net interest margin by making adequate, but not excessive, liquidity provisions.
     Changes in the liquidity position result from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities are generally the cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the determination of net income. The primary investing activities include loan originations, loan repayments, investments in interest bearing balances in financial institutions, and the purchase, sale, and maturity of investment securities. Financing activities focus almost entirely on the generation of customer deposits. In addition, the Bancorp utilizes borrowings (i.e., retail repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB) as a source of funds.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents increased by $432 thousand compared to a $9.2 million decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The primary sources of cash were proceeds from pay downs of securities, loan sales, loan repayments and proceeds from FHLB advances and other borrowed funds. The primary uses of cash were the purchase of securities, funding of withdrawals for short-term local government funds, repayment of FHLB advances, purchase of loan participations and the payment of common stock dividends. Cash provided for operating activities totaled $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $5.1 million for the period ended September 30, 2006. Cash outflows from investing activities totaled $4.3 million for the current period, compared to cash outflows of $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The change for the current period was primarily due the maturities and sales of available-for-sale securities. Net cash outflows from financing activities totaled $548 thousand during the current period compared to net cash outflows of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The change in net cash outflows from financing activities was primarily due to an increase in net proceeds from FHLB advance balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Bancorp paid dividends on common stock of $3.0 million during the current nine month period compared to $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
     At September 30, 2007, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled $123.0 million. Approximately 48% of the commitments were at variable rates. Management believes that the Bancorp has sufficient cash flow and borrowing capacity to fund all outstanding commitments and to maintain proper levels of liquidity.
     During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Bancorp will complete the construction of a state-of-the-art banking center in Crown Point, Indiana. The cost of the new facility is expected to be approximately $1.2 million. During the current nine months, construction disbursements totaled $636 thousand. Approximately $564 thousand in additional construction disbursements will occur in 2007. The funding for these disbursements will be acquired from current period cash inflows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, capitalized interest totaled $2 thousand. The facility will not have a material impact on noninterest expense during 2007. The new facility will provide opportunities to expand market share for the Bancorp’s products and services in Crown Point and the surrounding areas.
     Management strongly believes that maintaining a high level of capital enhances safety and soundness. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, stockholders’ equity increased by $1.8 million (3.6%). The increase was primarily a result of the Bancorp’s $4.4 million in net income for the current nine month period. The Bancorp declared $3.0 million in cash dividends for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. The net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities, net of tax was $252 thousand for the current nine months. During the current nine month period, the Bancorp received $171 thousand from the issuance of Bancorp common stock from stock-based compensation plans.
     The Bancorp is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”), and the Bank is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the FDIC. As applied to the Bancorp and the Bank, the FRB and FDIC capital requirements are substantially identical. The Bancorp and the Bank are required to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1 capital. In addition, the FRB and FDIC regulations provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital

11


Table of Contents

to adjusted average assets) of 3% for financial institutions that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing or anticipating significant growth. All other financial institutions are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional cushion of at least one to two percent.
     The table on the following page shows that, at September 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the Bancorp’s capital exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bancorp’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios were substantially the same at both dates. The dollar amounts are in millions.

     The Bancorp’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is entirely dependent upon the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Bancorp. Under Indiana law, the Bank may pay dividends from its undivided profits (generally, earnings less losses, bad debts, taxes and other operating expenses) as is considered expedient by the Bank’s Board of Directors. However, the Bank must obtain the approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions for the payment of a dividend if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank during the current year, including the proposed dividend, would exceed the sum of retained net income for the year to date plus its retained net income for the previous two years. For this purpose, “retained net income,” means net income as calculated for call report purposes, less all dividends declared for the applicable period. Moreover, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board may prohibit the payment of dividends if it determines that the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the Bank.

Results of Operations — Comparison of the Quarter Ended September 30, 2007 to the Quarter Ended September 30, 2006
     Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $1.4 million, compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $143 thousand (9.0%). The earnings represent a ROA of 0.94% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to 1.02% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The ROE was 11.12% for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared to 13.11% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
     Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $4.5 million, a decrease of $269 thousand (5.7%), compared to $4.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in net interest income has been negatively impacted by short-term interest rates and slow loan and checking account growth. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was 6.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to 6.15% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The weighted-average cost of funds for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, was 3.23% compared to 2.94% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The impact of the 6.24% return on interest earning assets and the 3.23% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of 3.01% for the current quarter compared to 3.21% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. During the current quarter, total interest income increased by $66 thousand (0.7%) while total interest expense increased by $335 thousand (8.0%). The net interest margin was 3.10% for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to 3.26% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. On a tax equivalent basis, the Bancorp’s net interest margin was 3.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to

3.36% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Comparing the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis more accurately compares the returns on tax-exempt loans and securities to those on taxable interest-earning assets.
     During the three months ended September 30, 2007, interest income from loans decreased by $132 thousand (1.7%), compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average daily loan balances. The weighted-average yield on loans outstanding was 6.64% for the current quarter, compared to 6.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Loan balances averaged $462.7 million for the current quarter, a decrease of $12.7 million (2.7%) from $475.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in average daily loan balances was affected by several large commercial real estate and commercial business loan pay-offs. During the three months ended September 30, 2007, interest income on securities and other interest bearing balances increased by $198 thousand (18.1%), compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increase was due to higher securities balances and an increase in the weighted-average portfolio yield. The weighted-average yield on securities and other interest bearing balances was 4.60%, for the current quarter, compared to 4.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Securities balances averaged $110.7 million for the current quarter, up $12.4 million (12.6%) from $98.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Other interest bearing balances averaged $1.8 million for the current quarter, down $3.9 million (68.4%) from $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
     Interest expense on deposits increased by $354 thousand (10.1%) during the current quarter compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. The change was primarily due to an increase in the weighted-average rate paid on deposits. The weighted-average rate paid on deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was 3.08%, compared to 2.80% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Total deposit balances averaged $498.8 million for the current quarter, up $11.5 thousand (0.0%) from $498.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased by $19 thousand (2.8%) during the current quarter due to a decrease in average daily balances for borrowed funds. The weighted-average cost of borrowed funds was 4.38% for the current quarter compared to 3.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Borrowed funds averaged $61.5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $8.8 million (12.5%) from $70.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

During the current quarter, compensation and benefits totaled $1.90 million, an increase of $36 thousand (1.9%) from $1.86 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the addition of more employees. Occupancy and equipment totaled $610 thousand for the current quarter, an increase of $22 thousand (3.8%) compared to $588 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increase was a result of additional depreciation expense for capital expenditures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The Bancorp’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Bancorp’s earnings and capital will be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. The primary approach to interest rate risk management is one that focuses on adjustments to the Bancorp’s asset/liability mix in order to limit the magnitude of interest rate risk. The Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility for measuring, monitoring and controlling interest rate risk to the Bancorp’s asset/liability, capital and technology management committee (ALCTM). The ALCTM is responsible for developing and implementing interest rate risk management strategies, establishing and maintaining a system of limits and controls, and establishing and utilizing an interest rate risk measurement system. The ALCTM, which is made up of members of senior management, generally meets monthly with board presentations occurring quarterly.
     Performance from an interest rate risk perspective can be measured in many ways. Methodologies used by the Bancorp focus on net interest income and the net economic value of equity. Net interest income is defined as interest income less interest expense. Variability in net interest income arises because its components — interest income and interest expense — do not change equally as rates vary. This mismatch occurs because individual assets and liabilities reprice differently as rates change. Factors which affect net interest income include changes in the level of interest rates, changes in the relationship between Bancorp yield rates and interest costs, changes in the volume of assets and liabilities outstanding, and changes in the composition or mix of assets and liabilities. Management uses rate shock (i.e., instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve in 1% increments up and down 2%) for stress testing the net interest income under several rate change levels. In order to simulate activity, maturing balances are replaced with new balances at the new rate level and repricing balances are adjusted to the new rate shock level. The results are compared to limits set by the Board of Directors and are monitored to identify unfavorable trends. Net economic value of equity is the net present value of the Bancorp’s portfolio of assets and liabilities. By marking-to-market the components of the balance sheet, management can compute the net economic value of equity. As rates change over time, the market values of Bancorp assets and liabilities will change, with longer-term products fluctuating more than short-term products. In most cases, rate-sensitive assets and liabilities will not have the same maturity characteristics. Therefore, as rates vary, the market value of the rate-sensitive assets will not change equally with the market value of rate-sensitive liabilities. This will cause the net economic value of equity to vary. The focus of the net economic value of equity is to determine the percentage decline in the net economic value of equity caused by a 2% increase or decrease in interest rates, whichever produces the larger decline. A large value indicates a large percentage decline in the net economic value of equity due to changes in interest rates and, thus, high interest rate sensitivity. A low value indicates a small percentage decline in the net economic value of equity due to changes in interest rates and, thus, low interest rate sensitivity. As with net interest income, the results are compared to limits set by the Board of Directors and are monitored to identify unfavorable trends.
     Presented in the following tables is forward-looking information about the Bancorp’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The tables incorporate the Bancorp’s internal system generated data as related to the maturity and repayment/withdrawal of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Prepayment assumptions are based on published data. Present value calculations use current published market interest rates. For core deposits that have no contractual maturity, the table presents principal cash flows and, as applicable, related weighted-average interest rates based on the Bancorp’s historical experience, management’s judgment, and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors, but not as to when they could be repriced.

     The tables show that the Bancorp has managed interest rate risk within the policy limits set by the Board of Directors. At September 30, 2007, an increase in interest rates of 2% would have resulted in an 9.3% decrease in net interest income and a 17.1% decrease in the net economic value of equity compared to decreases of 8.9% and 14.1% at December 31, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Bancorp has managed interest rate risk by generally selling fixed rate loans with contractual maturities exceeding 15 years, maintaining the short duration of the securities portfolio, and implementing deposit funding and pricing strategies.
