Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 Banks 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 Bancorps 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007, and the consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholders equity for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007. The income reported for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 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 4 Concentrations of Credit Risk
The primary lending area of the Bancorp encompasses all of Lake County in northwest Indiana,
where a majority of loan activity is concentrated. 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.
Note 5 Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and
diluted earnings per common share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and March
31, 2007 is presented below:

Note 6 Stock Based Compensation
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 March 31, 2008, stock based compensation expense of $16,000
was recorded, compared to $19,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. It is anticipated that
current outstanding
vested and unvested options will result in additional compensation expense of approximately $41,000
in 2008 and $35,000 in 2009.
A summary of option activity under the Bancorps stock option plan for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 is presented below:

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Bancorp granted 1,000 shares from the stock
option plan. There were no options granted during the first quarter of 2007. The total intrinsic
value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, was $9,231 and
$47,810.
Note 7 Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions
used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on
the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial
6
Table of Contents
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a
recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report
selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement
attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company did not elect the fair value
option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008, the effective date
of the standard.
In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4, Accounting
for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life
Insurance Arrangements. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period
when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants employment or
retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit
cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the
contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2007. The impact of adoption was not material.
On November 5, 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan
Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings (SAB 109). Previously, SAB 105, Application
of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, stated that in measuring the fair value of a
derivative loan commitment, a company should not
incorporate the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the
loan. SAB 109 supersedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to
the associated servicing of the loan should be included in measuring fair value for all written
loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 105 also indicated
that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a
derivative loan commitment, and SAB 109 retains that view. SAB 109 is effective for derivative
loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The
Bancorp does not expect the impact of this standard to be material.
Note 8 Fair Value
Statement 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The
standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets
that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entitys own assumptions
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.
The
fair values of securities available for sale are determined by a matrix pricing, which is a
mathematical technique widely used to in the industry to value debt securities without relying
exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities
relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.

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 March 31, 2008, the Bancorp had total assets of $641.7 million, total loans of $482.3
million and total deposits of $519.8 million. Stockholders equity totaled $54.2 million or 8.5%
of total assets, with book value per share at $19.29. Net income for the quarter ended March 31,
2008, was $1.6 million, or $0.59 earnings per common share for basic and $0.58 for diluted
calculations. The annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.04%, while the annualized return
on average stockholders equity (ROE) was 12.39%, for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Financial Condition
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, total assets increased by $13.0 million (2.1%),
with interest-earning assets increasing by $13.5 million (2.3%). At March 31, 2008,
interest-earning assets totaled $602.0 million and represented 93.8% of total assets.
Loans receivable totaled $482.3 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $468.5 million at
December 31, 2007. At March 31, 2008, loans receivable represented 80.1% of interest-earning
assets, 75.2% of total assets and 92.8% of total deposits. The loan portfolio, which is the
Bancorps largest asset, is a significant source of both interest and fee income. The Bancorps
lending strategy stresses quality loan growth, product and geographic diversification, and
competitive and profitable pricing. The loan portfolio includes $46.7 million (9.7%) in
construction and development loans, $228.6 million (47.4%) in residential mortgage loans, $11.8
million (2.4%) in multifamily loans, $0.8 million (0.2%) in a farmland loan, $126.3 million (26.2%)
in commercial real estate loans, $2.1 million (0.4%) in consumer loans, $51.6 million (10.7%) in
commercial business loans and $14.4 million (3.0%) in government and other loans. Adjustable rate
loans comprised 57.9% of total loans at March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31,
2008, loans increased by $13.8 million (3.0%). During the period, growth occurred in commercial
real estate, commercial business, government loans, and construction and development, while
multifamily, residential, and consumer loan balances decreased. During the three month period,
loan balances increased as a result of stable loan demand within the Bancorps primary market area.
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 Bancorps efforts to manage interest
rate risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Bancorp sold $1.7 million in
fixed rate mortgages originated for sale compared to $2.9 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2007. Net gains realized from sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008, totaled
$39 thousand compared to $54 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007. At March 31,
2008, the Bancorp had $595 thousand in loans that were classified as held for sale.
The primary objective of the Bancorps 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 $118.0 million at March 31, 2008, compared
to $118.2 million at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $197 thousand (0.2%). At March 31, 2008, the
securities portfolio represented 19.6% of interest-earning assets and 18.4% of total assets. The
securities portfolio was comprised of 15.0% in U.S. government agency debt securities, 47.8% in
U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, 30.9% in
municipal securities, 1.8% in corporate securities, and 4.5% in trust preferred securities. At
March 31, 2008, securities available-for-sale (AFS) totaled $95.3 million or 83.3% 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 March 31, 2008, the Bancorp had $3.6
million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock.
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.

Table of Contents
The determination of the amounts of the ALL and provisions for loan losses is based on
managements 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 $9.0 million at March
31, 2008, compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $428 thousand or 0.05%.
The increase in non-performing loans at March 31, 2008, is related to one additional commercial
real estate loan in the amount of $692 thousand that has been classified as substandard and
impaired during the first quarter of 2008. This loan is adequately secured by real estate and is
personally guaranteed by the borrower. As previously reported, the Banks March 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 non-performing and impaired loan balances have been negatively impacted by two
past due commercial real estate participation loans that carry a balance of $4.1 million and $956
thousand. These loans were originally classified as substandard and impaired during the third
quarter of 2007. For both loans, management is in contact with the lead lenders and continues to
gather information regarding steps required for protection of the Banks 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. At March 31, 2008, for the first commercial real estate participation, a $4.1 million loan for a condominium
conversion project in Ann Arbor, Michigan, managements current estimates indicate a collateral
deficiency. In addition, management has retained legal counsel to actively pursue potential
material violations of the participation agreement and the underlying loan documentation by the
lead lender. During the current quarter, management filed a lawsuit against the lead lender. For
the second commercial real estate participation loan totaling $956 thousand, a condominium project
in Portland, Oregon, managements current estimates indicate a collateral deficiency. Based on the
current collateral deficiencies, the appropriate specific allowances have been established for both
commercial real estate participation loans. 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 for both commercial real estate participation loans.
The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.88% at March 31, 2008, compared to
1.84% at December 31, 2007. The ratio of non-performing loans to total assets was 1.41% at March
31, 2008, compared to 1.37% at December 31, 2007. The March 31, 2008, non-performing loan balances
include $8.5 million in loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and $590 thousand in accruing
loans, which were contractually past due 90 days or more. Loans, internally classified as
substandard totaled $11.3 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $10.9 million at December 31,
2007. The increase in substandard loans at March 31, 2008, is related to the previously mentioned
commercial real estate loan in the amount of $692 thousand. 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 $10.5 million at March
31, 2008, compared to $10.8 million at December 31, 2007.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable
that a borrower will be unable to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement. At March 31, 2008, impaired loans totaled $6.7 million, compared to $6.0 million
at December 31, 2007. The March 31, 2008, impaired loan balances consist of seven loans to five
commercial borrowers that are secured by business assets and real estate, and are personally
guaranteed by the owners of the businesses. The March 31, 2008 ALL contained $848 thousand in
specific allowances for collateral deficiencies, compared to $824 thousand in specific allowances
at December 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, one additional commercial real estate loan
in the amount of $692 thousand was classified as impaired. Managements current estimate indicates
that a specific allowance is not required for this loan. The March 31, 2008, impaired loan
balances were also included in the 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, March 31, 2008.
At March 31, 2008, 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 March 31, 2008, no other interest bearing assets were required to be
disclosed as non-accrual, past due or restructured. 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. Cash flows from the security collateralizing the letter of credit have been
negatively impacted due to the closing of the tenant. The letter of credit is also secured by a
cash collateral account in the amount of $1.0 million. At March 31, 2008, based on current
estimates management believes that a collateral deficiency of $72 thousand exists for this
financial instrument. Management has established a contingent liability for the collateral
deficiency. Currently, an active search for a purchaser is in place and an intent to purchase is
being evaluated. Management will continue to monitor the letter of credit and bond repayments.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $130 thousand in additions to the ALL account were
required, compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The March 31, 2008 ALL
contained $848 thousand in specific allowances for the collateral deficiency associated with five
loans to three borrowers totaling $5.3 million, which had been classified as impaired at March 31,
2008. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $5 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2008, compared to charge-offs, net of recoveries $3 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The ALL provisions take into consideration managements 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 0.98% at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, while the ALL to
non-performing loans (coverage ratio) was 52.0% at March 31, 2008, compared to 53.2% at December
31, 2007. The March 31, 2008 balance in the ALL account of $4.7 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 March 31, 2008, the Bancorp had seven properties in foreclosed real estate totaling $338
thousand, compared to four properties totaling $134 thousand at December 31, 2007.
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 March 31, 2008, deposits totaled
$519.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, deposits increased by $26.5 million
(5.4%). Checking account balances increased by $29.2 million (25.1%). The increase in checking
account balances is primarily related to local municipalities that received tax distributions from
the local county treasurer. Savings account balances increased by $62 thousand (0.1%) during the
current period. Money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) decreased by $3.8 million (3.4%). The
decrease in MMDAs was a result
11
Table of Contents
of withdrawals by a local governmental unit. Certificates of
deposit increased by $973 thousand (0.5%). At March 31, 2008, the deposit base was comprised of
28.0% checking accounts, 20.5% MMDAs, 10.1% savings accounts and 41.4% certificates of deposit.
Borrowings are primarily used to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation. At
March 31, 2008, borrowed funds totaled $62.6 million compared to $76.9 million at December 31,
2007, a decrease of $14.3 million (18.6%). During the current period, borrowings were repaid from
funds received as a result of the increase in checking account balances. Retail repurchase
agreements totaled $11.5 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $14.2 million at December 31, 2007,
a decrease of $2.7 million (19.1%). The decrease in retail repurchase agreements was related to a
reduction is sweep account balances for commercial business. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) fixed,
variable and line of credit advances totaled $50.2 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $61.8
million at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $11.6 million (18.8%). During the three months ended
March 31, 2008, FHLB fixed and variable advance balances decreased by $17.0 million as a result of
increases in deposit balances. In addition, other short-term borrowings totaled $922 thousand at
March 31, 2008, compared to $897 thousand at December 31, 2007, a increase of $25 thousand (2.8%).
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 Bancorps 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 three months ended March 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.5
million compared to a $1.0 million decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2007. 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 $969 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared
to $2.4 million for the period ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in cash provided for operating
activities was a result of a reduction in loan sales for the current period. Cash outflows from
investing activities totaled $13.7 million for the current period, compared to cash inflows of $3.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The change was related to the increase in loan
originations during the current quarter. Net cash inflows from financing activities totaled $11.2
million during the current period compared to net cash outflows of $7.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. The change in net cash inflows from financing activities was a result
of the deposit growth during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The Bancorp paid dividends on
common stock of $1.0 million during the current three month period compared to $976 thousand for
the three months ended March 31, 2007.
At March 31, 2008, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled $111.3 million.
Approximately 31% 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.
Management strongly believes that maintaining a high level of capital enhances safety and
soundness. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, stockholders equity increased by $1.5
million (2.9%). The increase was primarily a result of the Bancorps $1.6 million in net income
for the current three month period. The Bancorp declared $1.0 million in cash dividends for the
three month period ended March 31, 2008. The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities,
net of tax was $808 thousand for the current three months. During the current three month period,
the Bancorp received $37 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
12
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 following table shows that, at March 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007, the Bancorps
capital exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bancorps and the Banks
regulatory capital ratios were substantially the same at both dates. The dollar amounts are
in millions.

The Bancorps ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is entirely dependent upon
the Banks 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 Banks 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. The aggregate amount of dividends, which may be declared
by the Bank in 2008, without prior regulatory approval, approximates $4,907,000 plus current
2008 net profits.
Results of Operations Comparison of the Quarter Ended March 31, 2008 to the Quarter Ended
March 31, 2007
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1.6 million, compared to $1.5
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $162 thousand (10.9%). The
earnings represent a ROA of 1.04% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to 0.96%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The ROE was 12.39% for the quarter ended March 31,
2008, compared to 11.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $5.0 million, an
increase of $552 thousand (12.5%), compared to $4.4 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2007. The increase in net interest income has been positively impacted by the strong loan
growth for the current quarter and the Federal Reserves action in lowering short-term
interest rates. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.92% for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 6.18% for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The weighted-average cost of funds for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, was 2.67%
compared to 3.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The impact of the 5.92% return on
interest earning assets and the 2.67% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of
3.25% for the current quarter compared to 3.02% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. During
the current quarter, total interest income decreased by $35 thousand (0.4%) while total
interest expense decreased by $587 thousand (13.2%). The net interest margin was 3.33% for
the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 3.08% for the quarter ended March 31,
2007. On a tax equivalent basis, the Bancorps net interest margin was 3.48% for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, compared to 3.17% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
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 March 31, 2008, interest income from loans decreased by
$311 thousand (4.0%), compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The change was
primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average yield of the loan portfolio. The
weighted-average yield on loans outstanding was 6.24% for the current quarter, compared to
6.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Loan balances averaged $476.2 million for
the current quarter, an increase of $6.5 million (1.4%) from $469.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, interest income
on securities and other interest bearing balances increased by $276 thousand (24.5%),
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007. 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 4.66%, for the current quarter,
compared to 4.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Securities balances averaged
$120.6 million for the current quarter, up $22.1 million (22.4%) from $98.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in security average balances is a result of
consistent portfolio growth during 2007. Other interest bearing balances averaged $605
thousand for the current quarter, down $1.2 million (66.7%) from $1.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007.
Interest expense on deposits decreased by $394 thousand (10.7%) during the current
quarter compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The change was primarily due to
an increase in average daily balances. The weighted-average rate paid on deposits for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 was 2.54%, compared to 3.00% for the quarter ended March
31, 2007. Total deposit balances averaged $517.9 million for the current quarter, up $29.0
million (5.9%) from $488.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Interest expense on
borrowed funds decreased by $193 thousand (24.9%) during the current quarter due to a
decrease in average daily balances and a decrease in the weighted average paid for borrowing
funds. The weighted-average cost of borrowed funds was 3.82% for the current quarter
compared to 4.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Borrowed funds averaged $60.9
million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $12.7 million (17.3%) from
$73.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1.20 million, an increase
of $159 thousand (15.3%) from $1.04 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. During the
current quarter, fees and service charges totaled $695 thousand, a decrease of $15 thousand
(2.2%) from $680 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Fees from Wealth Management
operations totaled $208 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $39
thousand (23.1%) from $169 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase in
Wealth Management income is related to consistent asset growth that has occurred during the
past twelve months. Gains from the sale of securities totaled $116 thousand for the current
quarter, an increase of $87 thousand (300.0%) from $29 thousand for the quarter ended March
31, 2007. Current market conditions provided opportunities to recognize gains from the sales
of securities, while reinvesting in different sectors with similar yields. Gains from loan
sales totaled $39 thousand for the current quarter, a decrease of $15 thousand (27.8%),
compared to $54 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in gains from
the sale of loans is a result of changing customer preference to adjustable rate loans, which
the Bank retains in its portfolio. Income from an increase in the cash value of bank owned
life insurance totaled $103 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $5
thousand (5.1%), compared to $98 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. For the
quarter ended March 31, 2008, a $19 thousand gain from the sale of foreclosed real estate was
realized. There were no gains from the sale of foreclosed real estate for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $4.07 million, an increase of
$559 thousand (15.9%) from $3.51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the
current quarter, compensation and benefits totaled $2.18 million, an increase of $332 thousand
(17.9%) from $1.85 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The change in compensation and
benefits is related to the increase in additional personnel for lending and retail banking
activities. Occupancy and equipment totaled $696 thousand for the current quarter, an increase of
$83 thousand (13.5%) compared to $613 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The increase
is related to the operations of a new banking center in Crown Point, Indiana that was opened during
December 2007. Data processing expense totaled $212 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2008, a decrease of $9 thousand (4.1%) from $221 thousand for the three months ended March 31,
2007. Marketing expense related to banking products totaled $103 thousand for the current quarter,
an increase of $44 thousand (74.6%) from $59 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
The additional marketing expense is associated with the Banks newly reengineered marketing
function. During the current quarter, the change in marketing expense is associated with increased
communications of its brand and products offerings, and the implementation of new marketing
systems. Other expenses related to banking operations totaled $874 thousand for the quarter ended
March 31, 2008, an increase of $109 thousand (14.2%) from $765 thousand for the quarter ended March
31, 2007. The change in other expenses is a result of an increase in third- party professional
services, community contributions and operating expenses related to loan and deposit products. The
Bancorps efficiency ratio was 66.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to 64.4% for
the three months

ended March 31, 2007. The ratio is determined by dividing total noninterest
expense by the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income for the period.
Income tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $314 thousand, compared
to $454 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $140 thousand (30.8%).
The combined effective federal and state tax rates for the Bancorp was 16.0% for the three months
ended March 31, 2008, compared to 23.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in
the effective tax rate for the quarter is a result of the reversal of an $84 thousand tax
liability, which had been established for municipal securities held in the Banks investment
subsidiary. During the current quarter, management received tax information that indicated the
established reserve was no longer required.
