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 and NWIN, LLC. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, and the consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The income reported for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 — Concentrations of Credit Risk

     The Bancorp grants residential, commercial real estate, commercial business and installment loans to customers in its primary market area of Lake County, in northwest Indiana. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including residences, business assets and consumer assets.

Note 4 — Reclassifications

     Certain amounts reported in the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements and the June 30, 2003 Form 10-Q have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2004 presentation.

Note 5 — Stock Compensation

     The following proforma information presents net income and basic and diluted earnings per share had the fair value method been used to measure compensation for stock options granted. The exercise price of options granted is equivalent to the market price of the underlying stock at the grant date; therefore, no compensation expense has been recorded for stock options granted.

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 June 30, 2004, the Bancorp had total assets of $539.0 million and total deposits of $442.0 million. Stockholders’ equity totaled $42.0 million or 7.8% of total assets, with book value per share at $15.18. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $3.0 million, or $1.09 earnings per common share for basic and $1.08 for diluted calculations. The annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.16%, while the annualized return on average stockholders’ equity (ROE) was 14.27%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Financial Condition

     During the six months ended June 30, 2004, total assets increased by $30.2 million (5.9%), with interest-earning assets increasing by $29.1 million (6.1%). At June 30, 2004, interest-earning assets totaled $505.7 million and represented 93.8% of total assets.

     Loans receivable totaled $420.1 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $409.8 million at December 31, 2003. At June 30, 2004, loans receivable represented 83.1% of interest-earning assets, 78.0% of total assets and 95.1% 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 diversification, and competitive and profitable pricing. The loan portfolio includes $27.6 million (6.6%) in construction and development loans, $235.6 million (56.1%) in residential mortgage loans, $9.8 million (2.3%) in multifamily loans, $90.7 million (21.6%) in commercial real estate loans, $5.8 million (1.4%) in consumer loans, $38.2 million (9.1%) in commercial business and $12.4 million (2.9%) in government and other loans. Adjustable rate loans comprised 45.2% of total loans at June 30, 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, loans increased by $10.3 million (2.5%), including $6.9 million in government, $3.9 million in construction & land development, $3.1 in residential mortgages, $2.4 million in commercial business, and $659 thousand in consumer loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, commercial real estate decreased by $6.1 million and multifamily loans decrease by $601 thousand. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, loan growth was affected by a decrease in loan originations and an increase in commercial loan payoffs. Management believes that, despite the moderate pace of its local economy, the positive trend in loan growth is likely to continue during the rest of 2004. Management expects to fund future loan growth with retail funds.

     The Bancorp is primarily a portfolio lender. Mortgage banking activities are generally limited to the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities generally exceeding 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. The Bancorp retains the servicing on all loans sold in the secondary market. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Bancorp sold $1.2 million in fixed rate mortgages compared to $10.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net gains realized from current year sales totaled $42 thousand compared to $316 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in gain on sale of loans is a result of the current interest rate environment and a reduction of loans originated for sale. Management believes that, during the remaining months of 2004 gains on sale of loans will be less than that reported during the prior year. At June 30, 2004, the Bancorp had $86 thousand classified as loans 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. Investments are generally for terms ranging from one day to seven years. The investment portfolio totaled $82.4 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $63.7 million at December 31, 2003. At June 30, 2004, the investment portfolio represented 16.9% of interest-earning assets, 15.8% of total assets and was invested as follows: 62.4% in U.S. government agency debt securities, 27.2% in U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and 10.4% in municipal securities. At June 30, 2004, securities available-for-sale (AFS) totaled $74.1 million or 89.9% 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 June 30, 2004, the Bancorp had $203 thousand in federal funds sold and $2.8 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, securities increased by $18.7 million (29.3%). The increase in securities was a result of deposit growth outpacing loan growth.

     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 collectibility 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; loans that management has internally classified as substandard, doubtful, loss, or watch; and, performing loans. Risk factors are based on an evaluation of the Bank’s own historical information, industry trends, and subjective assessment and interpretation. While management evaluates the loan portfolio as a pool, judgment is applied to determine risk factors associated with impaired loans and large commercial loans.

     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 $1.8 million at June 30, 2004 compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $55 thousand or 3.2%. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.42% at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. The ratio of non-performing loans to total assets was 0.33% at June 30, 2004, compared to 0.34% at December 31, 2003. The June 30, 2004 balance includes $1.5 million in loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and $249 thousand in accruing loans which were contractually past due 90 days or more. Loans, internally classified as substandard totaled $2.6 million at June 30, 2004, a decrease of $93 thousand from the $2.7 million reported at December 31, 2003. 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 more closely monitoring due to one or more factors that may cause the loan to become classified. Watch loans were $7.9 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $8.3 million at December 31, 2003.

     At June 30, 2004, the balance for non-performing and substandard loans includes three loans to three borrowers totaling $530 thousand that have been classified as impaired. Impaired loans are loans where full payment under the loan terms is not expected. There were no other loans considered to be impaired loans as of, or for the six months ended June 30, 2004. 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 June 30, 2004, there were no other interest bearing assets that would be required to be disclosed as non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problems if such assets were loans. Management does not anticipate that any of the non-performing loans or classified loans would materially impact future operations, liquidity or capital resources.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2004, additions to the ALL account totaled $135 thousand compared to $260 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease during the current year was due to an improvement in non-performing loan ratios and a reduction in loan charge-offs. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $38 thousand for the current period compared to $92 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Changes in the provision are directionally consistent with changes in observable data and take into consideration management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio, loan portfolio growth, changes in the portfolio mix and local economic conditions. While the quality of the loan portfolio remains sound, provisions during the current period were warranted because of increased average daily loan balances and continued apparent weaknesses in the local economy.

     The ALL to total loans was 0.92% at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, while the ALL to non-performing loans (coverage ratio) was 218.9% compared to 220.3% for the same periods. A consistently strong coverage ratio is an indicator that sufficient provisions for loan losses have been established. The June 30, 2004 balance in the ALL account of $3.9 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 June 30, 2004, foreclosed real estate totaled $114 thousand compared to $0 at December 31, 2003. The current year balance is comprised of two residential properties. Management is actively seeking a purchaser for the properties.

     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 June 30, 2004, deposits totaled $442.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, deposits increased by $20.4 million (4.8%). Checking accounts increased by $10.7 million (11.5%), money market deposit accounts (MMDA’s) increased $13.6 million (19.9%) and savings accounts increased $2.2 million (3.1%). During the current period, certificates of deposits decreased by $6.1 million (3.2%). At June 30, 2004, the deposit base was comprised of 23.5% checking accounts, 18.5% MMDA’s, 16.4% savings accounts and 41.6% certificates of deposit. The growth in deposits was a result of competitive product offerings and an aggressive marketing program.

     Borrowings are primarily used to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation. At June 30, 2004, borrowed funds totaled $50.7 million compared to $40.9 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $9.8 million (24.0%). Retail repurchase agreements totaled $12.1 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $11.5 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $687 thousand (6.0%). FHLB advances totaled $35.5 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $26.5 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $9.0 million, as the Bancorp extended the maturity structure of interest-bearing liabilities at cost effective interest rates. Other short-term borrowings totaled $3.1 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2003, an increase of $115 thousand as the Bancorp increased short-term funding.

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 the Bancorp is subject to legal reserve requirements under Federal Reserve Regulation D, liquidity is managed to ensure that the Bancorp maintains an adequate level of legal reserves. In addition, liquidity is managed to meet the cash demands of depositors and its loan customers. 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 six months ended June 30, 2004, cash and cash equivalents increased $1.5 million compared to a $5.6 million decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase for the current period was principally due to deposit growth and proceeds from FHLB advances. The primary sources of cash were proceeds from maturities and sales of securities, loan sales, deposit growth, FHLB advances and cash provided by operating activities. The primary uses of cash were loan originations, purchase of securities and the payment of common stock dividends. During the current six months cash provided by operating activities totaled $3.8 million compared to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Cash outflows from investing activities totaled $31.0 million compared to $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The change for the current period was due primarily to an increase in security purchases and a decrease in proceeds from security maturities and pay downs. Net cash inflows from financing activities totaled $28.7 million during the current period compared to net cash outflows of $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in net cash inflows was primarily due to an increase in deposits, principally core deposit growth and additional FHLB advances. The Bancorp paid dividends on common stock of $1.7 million during the current six months compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

     At June 30, 2004, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled $71.0 million. Approximately 84% 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 six months ended June 30, 2004, stockholders’ equity increased by $443 thousand (1.1%). The increase resulted primarily from earnings of $3.0 million during the period. In addition, $226 thousand represents proceeds from the exercise of 10,421 stock options. The Bancorp declared $1.7 million in cash dividends for the six month period ended June 30, 2004. The net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities, net of tax was $1.1 million for the current period.

     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 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 June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, 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 the light of the financial condition of the Bank. The aggregate amount of dividends, which may be declared by the Bank in 2004, without prior regulatory approval, approximates $5,420,000 plus current 2004 net profits.

Results of Operations — Comparison of the Quarter Ended June 30, 2004 to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2003

     Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.543 million compared to $1.466 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $77 thousand (5.3%), principally due to a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The earnings represent a ROA of 1.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to 1.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The ROE was 14.57% for the current quarter compared to 14.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

     Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $4.9 million, up $319 thousand (6.9%), compared to $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase in net interest income was due to a lower cost of funds. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 5.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The weighted-average cost of funds for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, was 1.35% compared to 1.76% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The impact of the 5.26% return on interest-earning assets and the 1.35% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of 3.91% for the current quarter compared to 3.98% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. During the current quarter, total interest income increased by $26 thousand (0.4%) while total interest expense decreased by $293 thousand (15.1%).

     During the three months ended June 30, 2004, interest income from loans decreased by $174 thousand (2.9%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease was due to lower yields on loans outstanding, as the current interest rate environment resulted in new originations at low rates. While residential mortgage modifications and refinances have slowed, commercial loan payoffs have occurred during the current period. The weighted-average yield on loans outstanding was 5.68% for the current quarter compared to 6.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Loan balances averaged $411.7 million for the current quarter, up $24.2 million (6.2%) from $387.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, interest income on investments and other deposits increased by $200 thousand (37.4%) compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase was due to higher average balances and an increase in portfolio yields. The weighted-average yield on securities and other deposits was 3.33% for the current quarter compared to 3.08% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Securities and other deposits averaged $88.4 million for the current quarter, up $18.7 million (26.8%) from $69.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

     Interest expense for deposits decreased by $338 thousand (21.0%) during the current quarter compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease was due to a reduction in the weighted-average rate paid on deposits. The weighted-average rate paid on deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 1.17% compared to 1.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Total deposit balances averaged $436.5 million for the current quarter, up $33.8 million (8.4%) from $402.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $45 thousand (13.8%) during the current quarter due to an increase in average daily balances. The weighted-average cost of borrowed funds was 3.07% for the current quarter compared to 3.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Borrowed funds averaged $48.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $11.2 million (30.2%) from $37.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

     Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $747 thousand, a decrease of $59 thousand (7.3%) from $806 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The current quarter noninterest income has been impacted by a decrease in gains from loan sales of $154 thousand, as the amount of loans sold during the three months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $791 thousand compared to $5.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003. During the current quarter fees and service charges totaled $482 thousand, an increase of $17 thousand (3.7%) from $465 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily due to deposit account growth and increased customer activity. Fees from Trust operations totaled $129 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $17 thousand (15.2%) from $112 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. During the current quarter gains on the sale of securities totaled $102 thousand, an increase of $59 thousand (137.2%) from $43 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Securities sales for the three months ended June 30, 2004, totaled $3.1 million compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. There were no gains or losses from the sale of foreclosed real estate during the current quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

     Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $3.3 million, up $305 thousand (10.3%) from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Increases were due primarily to account growth, system usage and expansion of banking activities. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to additional staffing for current operations. The increase in occupancy expense was due to increased depreciation, real estate taxes and utilities. Other expense changes were due to standard increases in operations. The Bancorp’s efficiency ratio was 57.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to 54.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. 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 June 30, 2004 totaled $815 thousand compared to $872 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $57 thousand (6.5%). The decrease was due to an increased investment in tax-exempt investments and loans. The combined effective federal and state tax rates for the Bancorp was 34.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 37.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2003.

     Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $6.5 million, up $671 thousand (11.4%) from $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Increases were due primarily to account growth, system usage and expansion of banking activities. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to additional staffing for current operations. The increase in occupancy expense was due to increased depreciation, real estate taxes and utilities. Other expense changes were due to standard increases in operations. The Bancorp’s efficiency ratio was 57.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 54.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

     Income tax expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $1.6 million compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $126 thousand (7.3%). The decrease was due to an increased investment in tax-exempt investments and loans. The combined effective federal and state tax rates for the Bancorp was 34.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 37.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Critical Accounting Policies

     Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that management believes are most important to the portrayal of the Bancorp’s financial condition and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The Bancorp’s critical accounting policies from December 31, 2003 remain unchanged.

Forward-Looking Statements

     Statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions are also intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The Bancorp cautions readers that forward-looking statements, including without limitation those relating to the Bancorp’s future business prospects, interest income and expense, net income, liquidity, and capital needs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, due to, among other things, factors identified in this filing, including the following:

     Regulatory Risk. The banking industry is heavily regulated. These regulations are intended to protect depositors, not shareholders. The Bank and Bancorp are subject to regulation and supervision by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The burden imposed by federal and state regulations puts banks at a competitive disadvantage compared to less regulated competitors such as finance companies, mortgage banking companies and leasing companies. The banking industry continues to lose market share to competitors.

     Legislation. Because of concerns relating to the competitiveness and the safety and soundness of the industry, Congress continues to consider a number of wide-ranging proposals for altering the structure, regulation, and competitive relationships of the nation’s financial institutions. Management cannot predict whether or in what form any of these proposals will be adopted or the extent to which the business of the Bancorp or the Bank may be affected thereby.

     Credit Risk. One of the greatest risks facing lenders is credit risk, that is, the risk of losing principal and interest due to a borrower’s failure to perform according to the terms of a loan agreement. While management attempts to provide an allowance for loan losses at a level adequate to cover probable incurred losses based on loan portfolio growth, past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations, and other factors, future adjustments to reserves may become necessary, and net income could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ substantially from assumptions used with respect to such factors.

     Exposure to Local Economic Conditions. The Bank’s primary market area for deposits and loans encompasses Lake County, in northwest Indiana, where all of its offices are located. Ninety-five percent of the Bank’s business activities are within this area. This concentration exposes the Bank to risks resulting from changes in the local

economy. A dramatic drop in local real estate values would, for example, adversely affect the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

     Interest Rate Risk. The Bancorp’s earnings depend to a great extent upon the level of net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rate risk (IRR) is the risk that the earnings and capital will be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. Further discussion of interest rate risk can be found in this report under Item 3., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”. During the third quarter of 2004, management expects to sell approximately $10.2 million in fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities exceeding fifteen years. The purpose of the restructuring is to reduce IRR by moving funds from fixed rate to variable rate instruments.

     Competition. The activities of the Bancorp and the Bank in the geographic market served involve competition with other banks as well as with other financial institutions and enterprises, many of which have substantially greater resources than those available to the Bancorp. In addition, non-bank competitors are generally not subject to the extensive regulation applicable to the Bancorp and the Bank.

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 management committee (ALCO). The ALCO 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 ALCO, 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 June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003. 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 June 30, 2004, an increase in interest rates of 2% would have resulted in a 4.0% decrease in net interest income and a 17.7% decrease in the net economic value of equity compared to decreases of 5.7% and 17.2% at December 31, 2003. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, 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, growing core account balances, implementing net interest income pricing strategies and extending the maturity of rate-sensitive liabilities through FHLB advances.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

     (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

     The Bancorp maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Bancorp in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Bancorp in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Bancorp’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Bancorp’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluates the effectiveness of the Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each quarter. Based on that evaluation as of June 30, 2004, the Bancorps’ principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

     (b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

     There was no change in the Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting.
