PEOPLES BANK
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
It is my pleasure to report that 1999 was not only a successful year
for your Bancorp, but an exciting one as well. Exciting in particular because we
began to see the emerging results of our efforts to blend quality service with
products and technology. These results included a growth of our core accounts,
recognition for supporting small businesses, increased loan volume, and improved
noninterest income.
As a community bank, we face new challenges caused by competition,
technology, and the evolving preferences of consumers. The comfortable way
things used to be has been transformed profoundly by the new economy where
technology and international markets have replaced the old order.
Today, what is happening on Wall Street is of more than a passing
interest to those of us in Northwest Indiana. While we can do little more than
watch the dramatic fluctuations in the stock market, we do have a great deal of
control over the quality of your Bancorp investment. We believe that the market
ultimately rewards strong management and consistent results.

The quality of our performance drives the quality of your investment.
At the same time, what really counts are the Main Streets of our
communities. What happens locally determines the Bancorp's policies as we
respond to the changing financial services landscape. Forging and holding
customer relationships requires us to respond to their changing needs by
providing a value-added relationship.
For 1999 the Bancorp's Board of Directors and management implemented
community banking strategies which resulted in record earnings. Income for the
year was $4.2 million up 12.6% over 1998 with earnings per share at $1.53. Our
return on assets was 1.20% and our return on equity was 13.17%.
As a community bank we have listened to our customers, recognized
their needs, and delivered products with a high standard of quality service.
Quality service means more than convenience. It means being there to meet our
customer needs and answer their questions. It means being flexible and able to
make timely decisions. And it means responding to opportunities to enhance the
delivery of our service.

During 2000 the Bancorp will open a state-of-the-art branch facility
in Hobart, Indiana. Our 8th location will provide new opportunities to extend
the Bancorp's products and services in a growing market. During 2000 we will
also roll-out an Internet banking product that provides both our retail
customers and our business customers with another avenue for meeting their
banking needs.
Quality service and competitively priced products combined this year
to add value to our presence as a financial resource in the community. Our
average daily balances for core accounts -- driven by a free checking product
featuring free checks, a free ATM and debit card, and telephone access to
account information -- grew $23.1 million.
More than market share, core account growth increased our market value
by fueling $22.4 million of loan growth. Our balance sheet was strengthened by
the Bancorp's ability to meet the competition of large regional money-center
banks.
Commercial business loan balances were up 28%, commercial real estate
loans were up 24% and consumer related loans were up 10%. Asset quality remained
high with loan delinquencies at .27% of total loans and our allowance for loan
losses at 1.12% of total loans or 412% of non-performing loans.

1999 SMALL BUSINESS ADVOCATE
OF THE YEAR, NORTHWEST INDIANA
ENTREPRENEURIAL EXCELLENCE
AWARDS PROGRAM
A key element of the Bancorp's community banking strategy has been to
react to the needs of small business for competitive, responsive services. Our
effort has been acknowledged by the Northwest Indiana Entrepreneurial Excellence
Awards Program who named Joel Gorelick, Chief Lending Officer, the 1999 Small
Business Advocate of the Year. Another recognition came from the Northwest
Indiana Regional Development Corporation (RDC) which designated Peoples Bank as
the Small Business Lender of the Year based upon the volume of our RDC loans.
The increasing demand for financial services has been met by our trust
department's ability to fashion individual investment and asset management plans
for our customers. We continue to expand our trust and investment services.
During the year, Jon DeGuilio, former U.S. Attorney and a well-respected lawyer,
joined our ranks as Senior Vice President and Trust Officer.
The book value of trust assets under management stood at $87 million
at year end. The trust activities along with income from banking operations
resulted in a 23.2% increase in the Bancorp's noninterest income.
Technology had a major impact on the Bancorp this year. Thanks to the
strong direction provided by Ed Furticella, our Chief Financial Officer, and the
day to day efforts of Tanya Buerger, Vice President for Information Systems, the
Bancorp made a seamless transition through the century change date, or Y2K. Our
readiness efforts had the ancillary effect of upgrading systems which measurably
impact operating efficiencies.
The Bancorp will continue to emphasize quality personal service which
has been the hallmark of our operation since 1910. We cannot ignore, however,
the opportunity technology presents to add value to our market presence.
Investing in technology provides the tools to help us better understand our own
customers, determine the shape of new products, and measure the value of our
relationships with our customers. At the same time, we recognize that people
will always be the driving force in creating growth and market value.
In April of 1999 Jim Crandall, a director of the Bancorp with over
forty years of combined service to the cause of community banking, retired from
our board. Jim's knowledge of the community, leadership, and steadfast advice
helped build our solid record of achievement. He is both a consummate
professional and good friend. We thank him for his continued service as a
Director Emeritus and wish him well in his retirement.

Shareholders elected Frank J. Bochnowski, Executive Vice President,
to the Board of Directors upon Jim Crandall's retirement. We welcome Frank and
thank him for his dedication and insight into our strategic direction. His
experience and wise counsel are a worthy addition to our working Board of
Directors.
Competition, technology, and the convergence of the financial services
industry will continue to challenge community banking. In January of 2000, we
celebrated our ninety year tradition of community banking. We are confident
that by blending quality service, products and technology the Bancorp will add
value to our community, our customers, and our shareholders.

NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the Bancorp) is a bank holding company
registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Peoples
Bank SB (the Bank), 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 Peoples Bank SB.
The Bancorp conducts business from its main office in Munster and its other
six full-service offices located in East Chicago, Hammond, Merrillville, Dyer
and Schererville, Indiana. The Bancorp is primarily engaged in the business of
attracting deposits from the general public and the origination of loans secured
by single family residences and commercial real estate, as well as, construction
loans and various types of consumer loans and commercial business loans. In
addition, the Bancorp's trust department provides estate administration, estate
planning, guardianships, land trusts, retirement planning, selfdirected IRA and
Keogh accounts, investment agency accounts, and serves as personal
representative of estates and acts as trustee for revocable and irrevocable
trusts.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Bancorp's earnings are dependent upon the earnings of the Bank. The
Bank's earnings are primarily dependent upon net interest margin. The net
interest margin is the difference between interest income earned on loans and
investments and interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings stated as a
percentage of average total assets. The net interest margin is perhaps the
clearest indicator of a financial institution's ability to generate core
earnings. The Bancorp's profitability is also affected by fees and service
charges, trust department income, gains and losses from the sale of loans,
provisions for loan losses, income taxes and operating expenses.
At December 31, 1999, the Bancorp had total assets of $361.7 million and
total deposits of $306.6 million. The Bancorp's deposit accounts are insured up
to applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) which is
administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an agency of
the federal government. At December 31, 1999, stockholders' equity totaled $32.5
million, with book value per share at $11.82. Net income for 1999 was $4.2
million, or $1.53 per common share and $1.52, assuming dilution. The return on
average assets (ROA) was 1.20%, while the return on average stockholders' equity
(ROE) was 13.17%.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk
Asset/liability management involves the funding and investment strategies
necessary to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets
and liabilities as well as to assure adequate liquidity. These strategies
determine the characteristics and mix of the balance sheet. They affect the
interest margins, maturity patterns, interest rate sensitivity and risk, as well
as resource allocation. For the Bancorp, the key components of asset/liability
management are loans, investments, deposits and borrowed funds. Over the years,
the Bancorp has directed its lending efforts toward construction loans,
adjustable rate residential loans, equity lines of credit, adjustable rate
commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans tied to the prime
rate of interest. Consumer loans are generally made for terms of five years or
less. Fixed rate residential real estate loans are generally made 10 for
contractual terms of fifteen years or less. The actual cash flows from these
loans generally results in a duration which is less than the contractual
maturity, providing protection against the possibility of rising interest rates.
The Bancorp is primarily a portfolio lender. Mortgage banking activities
are limited to the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities
of twenty-five years or longer. These loans are 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.
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 and federal agency obligations. Interest-bearing balances
in financial institutions include overnight deposits at the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Indianapolis (FHLB). Investments are generally for terms ranging from
one day to five years.
The Bancorp's cost of funds reacts rapidly to changes in market interest
rates due to the relatively short-term nature of its deposit liabilities.
Consequently, the levels of short- term interest rates have influenced the
Bancorp's results of operations. In order to reduce exposure to interest rate
risk, core deposits (checking, NOW accounts, savings and money market accounts)
have been aggressively marketed and certificate accounts have been competitively
priced. Account activity and maturities are monitored in order to guard against
the outflow of funds. Borrowed money is used to compensate for reductions in the
availability of other sources of funds and is generally accomplished through
repurchase agreements, as well as, through a line of credit and advances from
the FHLB. FHLB advances with maturities ranging from one to ten years are used
to fund securities and loans of comparable duration, as well as, to reduce the
impact that movements in short-term interest rates have on the Bancorp's overall
cost of funds. The Bancorp does not obtain funds through brokers.
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 which 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.
10
Because the Bancorp is liability sensitive (i.e., it has more rate
sensitive liabilities than rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing within a
one year time period) asset/liability management strategies designed to control
interest rate risk focus on investments and loans of short duration, adjustable
rate loans, core deposit growth, and a cost-effective mix of deposits and
borrowed funds. Increasing the amount of interest earning assets that are rate
sensitive, extending the maturities of customer deposits, increasing the
balances of core deposit accounts and utilizing cost effective borrowings are
all part of management's commitment toward reducing the Bancorp's overall
vulnerability to interest rate risk. While these steps may reduce the overall
vulnerability to interest rate risk, the Bancorp will still be adversely
affected by a rising or high interest rate environment, and is beneficially
affected by a falling or low interest rate environment because rate sensitive
liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing within a one year
time period.
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 December 31,1999 and
1998. The tables incorporate the Bancorp's internal system generated data as
related to the maturity, repricing 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.

-2% $ 12,528 - 1.9 - 20 $ 54,555 8.3 - 30
The tables show that the Bancorp has managed interest rate risk within the
policy limits set by the Board of Directors. At December 31, 1999, an increase
in interest rates of 2% would have resulted in an 8.9% decrease in net interest
income and an 18.0% decrease in the net economic value of equity compared to
decreases of 2.9% and 12.2%, at December 31, 1998. The increase in interest rate
risk during 1999 was due to the large increase in loan volume during 1999 funded
in part by reducing lower yielding interest bearing balances in financial
institutions and federal funds.
11
Financial Condition
During the year ended December 31, 1999, total assets increased by $16.3
million (4.7%), with interest-earning assets increasing by $13.3 million (4.1%).
At December 31, 1999, interest earning assets totaled $338.3 million and
represented 93.5% of total assets. Loans totaled $295.8 million and represented
87.4% of interest-earning assets, 81.8% of total assets and 96.5% of total
deposits. The loan portfolio includes $14.8 million (5.0%) in construction and
land development loans, $161.1 (54.5%) in residential real estate loans, $79.7
million (26.9%) in commercial and multifamily real estate loans, $10.4 million
(3.5%) in consumer loans and $29.8 million (10.1%) in commercial business and
other loans. During 1999, loans increased by $22.4 million (8.2%). Adjustable
rate loans comprised 53% of total loans at year-end. Growth during 1999 was a
result of a strong local economy, favorable interest rates and aggressive
marketing and call programs. Assuming the continuation of the current strength
of the local economy and an aggressive marketing and call program effort,
management believes that loan growth should remain strong during 2000 despite a
rising interest rate environment and increased price competition within the
Bancorp's market area. Management expects to fund loan growth with a mix of
deposits and borrowed funds.

During 1999, the Bancorp sold $2.5 million in fixed rate mortgages compared
to $3.7 million in 1998 and $1.8 million in 1997. All loans sold had contractual
maturities of thirty years. Net gains realized from the sales totaled $30
thousand, $111 thousand and $26 thousand for 1999, 1998 and 1997. Net mortgage
loan servicing income totaled $16 thousand for 1999 and 1998, and $21 thousand
for 1997. At December 31, 1999, the Bancorp had $597 thousand classified as
loans held for sale. During 2000, the Bancorp expects to sell fixed rate
mortgage loans, with contractual maturities of twenty-five years or longer, on a
case-by-case basis as part of its efforts to manage interest rate risk.

At December 31, 1999, the Bancorp's investment portfolio totaled $40.2
million and was invested as follows: 85.7% in U.S. government agency debt
securities, 12.4% in U.S. government debt securities, and 1.9% in U.S.
government agency mortgage-backed securities. At December 31, 1999, securities
available-for-sale totaled $24.2 million or 60.2% of total securities. The
available- for-sale portfolio permits the active management of the Bancorp's
liquidity position. During 1999, the Bancorp did not have derivative instruments
and was not involved in hedging activities as defined by SFAS 133. The Bancorp
does not have a trading portfolio. In addition, at December 31, 1999, the
Bancorp had $1.8 million in FHLB stock. During 1999, investment securities
increased by $5.6 million (15.4%).
Management believes that the credit risk profile of the earning asset
portfolio is relatively low. At December 31, 1999, the Bancorp had $803 thousand
in non-performing loans. The December 31, 1999 balance includes $565 thousand in
loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis and $238 thousand in accruing loans
which were contractually past due 90 days or more. The total of these
nonperforming loans represents 0.27% of the total loan portfolio and 0.22% of
total assets. At December 31, 1999, $689 thousand of the Bancorp's loans were
internally classified as substandard. There were no loans classified as doubtful
or loss. Management does not anticipate that any of the non-performing loans or
classified loans will materially impact future operations, liquidity or capital
resources. At December 31, 1999, except as described above, there were no
material credits that would cause management to have serious doubts as to the
ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms.
At December 31, 1999, the Bancorp had no foreclosed real estate.

MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT THE CREDIT RISK PROFILE OF THE LOAN PORTFOLIO IS
RELATIVELY LOW. AT DECEMBER 31, 1999, THE BANCORP'S RATIO OF NON-PERFORMING
LOANS TO TOTAL LOANS WAS 0.27% (TWENTY-SEVEN HUNDREDTHS OF ONE PERCENT) WHICH
WAS BELOW THE INDUSTRY NORM.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because some loans may not be repaid in accordance with contractual
agreements, an allowance for loan losses (ALL) has been maintained. While
management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific
problem loans, the entire allowance is available to absorb all credit losses
that arise from the loan portfolio and is not segregated for, or allocated to,
any particular loan or group of loans. During 1999, additions to the ALL account
totaled $200 thousand compared to $110 thousand for 1998 and $221 thousand for
1997. The amount provided during 1999 was based on loan activity, changes within
the loan portfolio mix, and resulting changes in management's assessment of
portfolio risk. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $23 thousand during
1999.

NON-PERFORMING LOANS.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At December 31, 1999, the balance in the ALL account totaled $3.3 million
which is considered adequate by management after evaluation of the loan
portfolio, past experience and current economic and market conditions. 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, as well as, loans which have been
evaluated on a pooled basis. During 1999, additions to the ALL were allocated to
the commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans due to the growth
in these portfolios and the additional risk related to these products. At
December 31, 1999, no portion of the ALL was allocated to impaired loan balances
as the Bancorp had no individual loans considered to be impaired loans as of, or
for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Deposits are the major source of funds for lending and other investment
purposes. At December 31, 1999, deposits totaled $306.6 million. During 1999,
deposit growth totaled $13.4 million (4.6%). Money market deposit accounts
(MMDA's) increased $9.0 million (27.1%), NOW accounts increased $1.2 million
(4.4%), checking accounts increased $363 thousand (1.6%) and certificates of
deposit increased by $5.2 million (3.2%). Savings accounts decreased $2.4
million (4.9%). The growth in core deposits was a result of competitive product
offerings and an aggressive marketing program. At December 31, 1999, the deposit
base was comprised of 15.2% savings accounts, 13.8% MMDAs, 9.6% NOW accounts,
7.4% checking accounts and 54.0% certificates of deposit. Deposit growth has not
kept pace with asset growth principally due to a low rate of personal savings by
households and competition for depositor funds from higher-yielding investment
alternatives. At December 31, 1999, repurchase agreements totaled $3.1 million.
Other short-term borrowings totaled $1.5 million. The Bancorp had $14 million in
FHLB advances with a weighted-average maturity of 4.0 years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the Bancorp, liquidity management refers to the ability to generate
sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet savings deposit withdrawals,
and pay dividends and operating expenses. The Bancorp's primary goal for
liquidity management is to ensure that at all times it can meet the cash demands
of its depositors and its loan customers. A secondary purpose of liquidity
management is profit management. Because profit and liquidity are often
conflicting objectives, management attempts to maximize the Bancorp's net
interest margin by making adequate, but not excessive, liquidity provisions.
Finally, 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.
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 and maturity of investment securities. Financing activities
focus almost entirely on the generation of customer deposits. In addition, the
Bancorp utilizes borrowings (i.e., repurchase agreements and advances from the
FHLB) as a source of funds.

9.7% 9.3% 9.2% 9.2% 9.0%
MANAGEMENT FIRMLY BELIEVES THAT THE SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS OF THE BANCORP
IS ENHANCED BY MAINTAINING A HIGH LEVEL OF CAPITAL. AT DECEMBER 31, 1999, THE
BANCORP'S CAPITAL EXCEEDED ALL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. THE BANCORP IS
CATEGORIZED AS "WELL CAPITALIZED". THE RATIO OF TIER I CAPITAL TO ADJUSTED
AVERAGE ASSETS REFLECTS THE CHANGE IN CAPITAL OVER THE PERIODS PRESENTED AS A
RESULT OF PROFITABILITY AND SUCCESS IN MANAGING GROWTH. IN ADDITION, TIER I
CAPITAL TO RISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS WAS 13.5% AND TOTAL CAPITAL TO RISK-WEIGHTED
ASSETS WAS 14.8%.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During 1999, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $12.7 million compared
to increases of $16.7 million for 1998 and $4.1 million for 1997. The decrease
reflects the reduction of interest bearing balances in financial institutions
and federal funds sold, as these funds were used for the Year 2000 cash
build-up, security investments and loan originations. During 1999, cash provided
by operating activities totaled $5.1 million, compared to $4.0 million for 1998
and $5.2 million for 1997. The increase during 1999 was due to an increase in
net income and a reduction in cash flows from loan sales. Cash flows from
investing activities reflect an increase in loan production during 1999. The net
change in loans receivable and loan participations purchased totaled $22.6
million during 1999, compared to $1.8 million for 1998 and $28.1 million for
1997. Cash flows from financing activities totaled $12.0 million during 1999,
compared to $21.3 million for 1998 and $16.3 million for 1997. The Bancorp paid
dividends on common stock of $2.3 million during 1999, compared to $2.0 million
for 1998 and $1.8 million for 1997. Deposit growth during 1999 totaled $13.4
million, compared to $21.1 million for 1998 and $15.7 million for 1997. The
increase in FHLB advances and other borrowed funds totaled $1.3 million during
1999, compared to $2.2 million for 1998 and $2.4 million for 1997.
On August 18, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase
program for 50,000 shares of the Bancorp's Common Stock, representing
approximately 1.8% of the total common shares outstanding. As of December 31,
1999, the Bancorp purchased 21,100 shares of treasury stock at $21.00-$21.50 per
share for $447 thousand.
During 2000, the Bancorp will open a state-of-the-art branch facility in
Hobart, Indiana. The cost of the new facility will be approximately $2.1
million. The facility will not have a material impact on noninterest expense
during 2000. The new facility provides opportunities to expand market share for
the Bancorp's products and services in Hobart and the surrounding areas.
At December 31, 1999, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled $61.3
million. Approximately 82% 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 safety and soundness is enhanced by
maintaining a high level of capital. During 1999, stockholders' equity increased
by $1.2 million (3.7%). The increase resulted primarily from earnings of $4.2
million for 1999. In addition, $21 thousand represents proceeds from the
exercise of 4,347 stock options. The Bancorp paid $2.3 million in cash dividends
and $447 thousand for the purchase of treasury stock during 1999. The net
unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities was $336 thousand. At December
31, 1999, book value per share was $11.82 compared to $11.34 at December 31,
1998.
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. These regulations divide capital into two tiers. The first tier (Tier
I) includes common equity, certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and
minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated
14
subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Supplementary
(Tier II) capital includes, among other things, cumulative perpetual and
long-term limited-life preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities,
certain hybrid capital instruments, term subordinated debt and the allowance for
loan losses, subject to certain limitations, less required deductions. The
Bancorp and the Bank are required to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio
of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier I capital. In addition, the FRB and FDIC
regulations provide for a minimum Tier I leverage ratio (Tier I 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 I leverage ratio of 3% plus an
additional cushion of at least one to two percent.
The following table shows that, at December 31, 1999, the Bancorp's capital
exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. At December 31, 1999, the
Bancorp's and the Bank's regulatory capital ratios were substantially the same.

Results of Operations - Comparison of 1999 to 1998
Net income for 1999 was $4.2 million, compared to $3.8 million for 1998, an
increase of $473 thousand (12.6%). The earnings represent a return on average
assets of 1.20% for 1999 compared to 1.14% for 1998. The return on average
equity was 13.17% for 1999 compared to 12.35% for 1998.
Net interest income for 1999 was $14.3 million, up $1.4 million (10.8%)
from $12.9 million for 1998. The increase in net interest income was primarily
due to a lower cost of funds. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning
assets was 7.61% for 1999 compared to 8.00% for 1998. The weighted-average cost
of funds was 3.54% for 1999 compared to 4.16% for 1998. The impact of the 7.61%
return on interest earning assets and the 3.54% cost of funds resulted in a net
interest spread of 4.07% for 1999 compared to 3.84% for 1998. During 1999, total
interest income increased by $372 thousand (1.5%) while total interest expense
decreased by $1.0 million (8.4%). The net interest margin was 4.04% for 1999
compared to 3.91% for 1998.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During 1999, interest income from loans increased by $108 thousand (0.5%)
compared to 1998. The increase was due to an increase in average daily balances
for the loan portfolio. The weighted-average yield on loans outstanding was
7.90% for 1999 compared to 8.31% for 1998. Higher average loan balances have
contributed to the increase in interest income as loans averaged $286.6 million
for 1999, up $15.2 million (5.6%) from $271.4 million for 1998. During 1999,
interest income on investments and other deposits increased by $264 thousand
(9.8%) compared to 1998. The increase was due to higher average daily balances.
The weighted- average yield on investments and other deposits was 5.92% for 1999
compared to 6.13% for 1998. Securities and other deposits averaged $49.9 million
for 1999, up $6.0 million (13.7%) from $43.9 million for 1998.
Interest expense for deposits decreased by $1.0 million (9.2%) during 1999
compared to 1998. The decrease was due to a lower cost of funds. The
weighted-average rate paid on deposits for 1999 was 3.45% compared to 4.09% for
1998. The lower cost of funds was due to growth in core deposits. Core deposits
averaged $141.4 million during 1999, up $23.1 million (19.5%) from $118.3
million for 1998. Total deposit balances averaged $300.4 million for 1999, up
$21.3 million (7.6%) from $279.1 million for 1998. Interest expense on borrowed
funds increased by $18 thousand (2.0%) during 1999 due to higher average daily
balances. The weighted-average cost of borrowed funds was 5.11% for 1999
compared to 5.41% for 1998. Borrowed funds averaged $18.1 million during 1999,
up $1.4 million (8.4%) from $16.7 million for 1998. Borrowed funds have provided
a cost-effective supplement to certificates of deposit, as deposit pricing
within the Bancorp's local market area has been very competitive.
Noninterest income was $1.7 million for 1999, up
$312 thousand (23.2%) from $1.4 million during 1998. During 1999, management
continued to implement initiatives focused on improving noninterest income from
Bancorp operations. As a result, fees and service charges increased $389
thousand (44.7%) and income from Trust operations increased $42 thousand
(14.2%).
15
Noninterest expense for 1999 was $8.8 million, up $836 thousand (10.5%)
from $7.9 million for 1998. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to
additional staffing, annual salary increases and the increased cost of employee
benefits. The increases in occupancy and equipment, and data processing reflect
investments in technology and new products and services. Other expense changes
were due to costs related to the century date change and standard increases in
operations. The Bancorp's efficiency ratio for 1999 was 54.9% compared to 55.6%
for 1998. 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 1999 totaled $2.8 million
compared to $2.5 million for 1998, an increase of $314 thousand (12.8%). The
increase was due to an increase in pretax earnings during 1999. The combined
effective federal and state tax rates for the Bancorp were 39.6% for 1999 and
39.5% for 1998.
Results of Operations - Comparison of 1998 to 1997
Net income for 1998 was $3.8 million, compared to $3.4 million for 1997, an
increase of $347 thousand (10.2%). The earnings represent a return on average
assets of 1.14% for 1998 compared to 1.13% for 1997. The return on average
equity was 12.35% for 1998 compared to 11.87% for 1997.
Net interest income for 1998 was $12.9 million, up $977 thousand (8.2%)
from $11.9 million for 1997. The increase in net interest income was due to the
growth in average interest-earning assets and a decrease in the cost of funds.
Interest-earning assets averaged $315.3 million for 1998, up $25.3 million
(8.7%) from $290.1 million for 1997. The weighted-average yield on
interest-earning assets was 8.00% for 1998 compared to 8.16% for 1997.
The weighted-average cost of funds was 4.16% for 1998 compared to 4.32% for
1997. The impact of the 8.00% return on interest earning assets and the 4.16%
cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of 3.84% for both 1998 and
1997. During 1998, total interest income increased by $1.6 million (6.6%) while
total interest expense increased by $589 thousand (5.0%). The net interest
margin was 3.91% for 1998 compared to 3.94% for 1997.
During 1998, interest income from loans increased by $1.2 million (5.5%)
compared to 1997. The increase was due to an increase in average daily balances
for the loan portfolio. The weighted-average yield on loans outstanding was
8.31% for 1998 compared to 8.41% for 1997. Higher average loan balances
contributed to the increase in interest income as loans averaged $271.4 million
for 1998, up $17.2 million (6.8%) from $254.2 million for 1997. During 1998,
interest income on investments and other deposits increased by $393 thousand
(17.1%) compared to 1997. The increase was due to higher average daily balances.
The weighted- average yield on investments and other deposits was 6.13% for 1998
compared to 6.42% for 1997. Securities and other deposits averaged $43.9 million
for 1998, up $8.1 million (22.6%) from $35.8 million for 1997.
Interest expense for deposits increased by $98 thousand (0.9%) during 1998
compared to 1997. The increase was due to an increase in average daily balances.
The weighted-average rate paid on deposits for 1998 was 4.09% compared to 4.30%
for 1997. Deposit balances averaged $279.1 million for 1998, up $16.0 million
(6.1%) from $263.1 million for 1997. Interest expense on borrowed funds
increased by $491 thousand (118.6%) during 1998 due to the increased cost of
borrowed funds and higher average daily balances. The weighted-average cost of
borrowed funds was 5.41% for 1998 compared to 5.13% for 1997. The increase was
due to lengthening the maturities of borrowed funds. Borrowed funds averaged
$16.7 million during 1998, up $8.6 million (107.1%) from $8.1 million for 1997.
Noninterest income was $1.3 million for 1998, up $281 thousand (26.4%) from
$1.1 million during 1997. During 1998, management focused on initiatives
designed to review and enhance noninterest income. During 1998, income from fees
and service charges increased $176 thousand (25.3%) and income from Trust
operations increased by $40 thousand (15.6%) due to increased fees from services
provided and growth. In addition, increased gains from the sale of fixed rate
loans ($85 thousand) and foreclosed real estate ($37 thousand) contributed to
the increase in noninterest income.
Noninterest expense for 1998 was $7.9 million, up $784 thousand (11.0%)
from $7.2 million for 1997. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to
additional staffing, annual salary increases and the increased cost of employee
benefits. Other expense changes were due to standard increases in operations.
The Bancorp's efficiency ratio for 1998 was 55.6% compared to 55.0% for 1997.
Income tax expenses for 1998 totaled $2.5 million compared to $2.2 million
for 1997, an increase of $238 thousand (10.7%). The increase was due to an
increase in pretax earnings during 1998. The combined effective federal and
state tax rates for the Bancorp were 39.5% for 1998 and 39.4% for 1997.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation. The primary assets and liabilities of the
Bancorp are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more
significant impact on the Bancorp's performance than the effects of general
levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or magnitude as the prices of goods and services.

Year 2000
The transition into the year 2000 was a success for the Bancorp, its
service providers and customers. Management will continue to monitor its systems
and equipment throughout 2000 to avoid the risk of disruptions to customer
service or Bancorp operations caused by specific future dates. Informal
discussions on year 2000 issues and dates will continue with vendors and major
customers. Costs related to year 2000 readiness totaled approximately $140
thousand during 1999. The total cost for the year 2000 initiative was
approximately $300 thousand of which approximately $200 thousand was invested in
new computers and software providing enhanced functionality over the systems
that were replaced.
Forward-Looking Statements
When used in this report and in other filings by the Bancorp with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Bancorp's press releases or other
public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, 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
intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in economic
conditions in the Bancorp's market area, changes in policies by regulatory
agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Bancorp's
market area and competition, all or some of which could cause actual results to
differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or
projected.
The Bancorp wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any
such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and
advise readers that various factors, including regional and national economic
conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and
other risks of lending and investment activities and competitive and regulatory

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
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 PSA Insurance Corporation. 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. Peoples Service Corporation is
inactive. During 1997, PSA Insurance Corporation was dissolved. All significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates - Preparing financial statements in conformity with
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 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.
Concentrations of Credit Risk - The Bancorp grants residential, commercial
real estate, commercial business and installment loans to customers primarily of
Lake County, in northwest Indiana. Substantially all loans are secured by
specific items of collateral including residences, business assets and consumer
assets.
Cash Flow Reporting - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
Bancorp considers cash on hand, noninterest bearing balances in financial
institutions, all interest-bearing balances in financial institutions with
original maturities of ninety days or less and federal funds sold to be cash and
cash equivalents. The Bancorp reports net cash flows for customer loan and
deposit transactions and short-term borrowings with maturities of 90 days or
less.
Securities - The Bancorp classifies securities into held-to-maturity,
available-for-sale, or trading categories. Held-to-maturity securities are those
which the Bancorp has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and
are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are those the
Bancorp may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management
or other reasons. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value,
with unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. The
Bancorp does not have a trading portfolio. Realized gains and losses resulting
from the sale of securities are computed by the specific identification method.
Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of premium or discount,
is included in earnings. Securities are written down to fair value when a
decline in fair value is not temporary.
During June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. On October 1, 1998, the Bancorp adopted SFAS
No. 133 and as permitted transferred securities from the held-to-maturity
portfolio to the available-for-sale portfolio. At the date of transfer, these
securities had an amortized cost of $12,241,000, and the transfer increased the
unrealized appreciation on securities available-for-sale by $194,000 and
increased stockholders equity by $117,000, net of tax of $77,000.
During 1999 and 1998, the Bancorp did not have derivative instruments and
was not involved in hedging activities as defined by SFAS No. 133.
Loans Held for Sale - Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in
the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value
in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance
by charges to income.
Loans and Loan Income - Loans are stated net of loans in process, deferred
loan fees and costs, and unearned income. Discounts on consumer loans are
recognized over the lives of the loans using the interest method. Interest
income on other loans is accrued over the term of the loans based upon the
principal outstanding except where serious doubt exists as to the collectibility
of a loan, in which case the accrual of interest is discontinued. Income is
subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received
until, in management's judgment, the borrower has the ability to make
contractual interest and principal payments, in which case the loan is returned
to accrual status. Net deferred loan fees and costs are amortized on the
interest method over the loan term.
Allowance for Loan Losses - Because some loans may not be repaid in full,
an allowance for loan losses is maintained. Increases to the allowance are
recorded by a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Estimating the risk
of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective.
Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered
adequate based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information
about specific borrower situations including their financial position and
collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change
over time. 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. 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.
Loans considered to be impaired are reduced to the present value of
expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral, by allocating a
portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans. If these allocations
cause the allowance for loan losses to require increase, such increase is
reported in the provision for loan losses. Smaller-balance homogeneous loans are
evaluated for impairment in total.
23
Such loans include residential first mortgage loans secured by one-to-four
family residences, residential construction loans, automobile, home equity and
second mortgage loans. Commercial loans and mortgage loans secured by other
properties are evaluated individually for impairment. When analysis of borrower
operating results and financial condition indicates that underlying cash flows
of the borrower's business are not adequate to meet its debt service
requirements, the loan is evaluated for impairment. Impaired loans, or portions
thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The Bank is a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank system and is required to invest in capital stock of the Federal Home
Loan Bank (FHLB). The amount of the required investment is based upon the
balance of the Bank's outstanding home mortgage loans and advances from the FHLB
and is carried at cost.
Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Premises and related components are depreciated using
the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 26 to 40 years.
Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with
useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense and improvements are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation
applicable to assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the
accounts and the gain or loss on disposition is credited or charged to
operations.
Foreclosed Real Estate - Real estate properties acquired through, or in
lieu of, loan foreclosure are recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure.
Costs relating to improvement of property are capitalized, whereas holding
costs are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and
an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying
value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value less selling costs.
Mortgage Servicing Rights - Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as
assets for the allocated value of retained servicing rights on loans sold.
Mortgage servicing rights are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based on the fair
value of the rights, using groupings of the underlying loans as to interest
rates and then, secondly as to prepayment characteristics. Any impairment of a
grouping is reported as a valuation allowance.
Long-term Assets - These assets are reviewed for impairment when events
indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted
cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at discounted amounts.
Repurchase Agreements - Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities
represent amounts advanced by various customers that are not covered by federal
deposit insurance and are secured by securities owned by the Bancorp.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions - The Bancorp sponsors a
defined benefit postretirement plan that provides comprehensive major medical
benefits to all eligible retirees. Postretirement benefits are accrued based on
the expected cost of providing postretirement benefits to employees during the
years the employees have rendered service to the Bancorp.
Income Taxes - The Bancorp records income tax expense based on the amount
of taxes due on its tax return, plus deferred taxes computed based on the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates. A
valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
Loss Contingencies - Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions
arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the
likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably
estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per common share is net income divided
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per common share, includes the dilutive effect of additional
potential common shares issuable under stock options.
On February 28, 1999, the Bancorp effected a two-for-one common stock
split as a share dividend. Earnings and dividends per share and other share
related information is restated for all stock splits and dividends through the
date of issue of the financial statements.
Comprehensive Income - Comprehensive income consists of net income and
other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income for the Bancorp includes
unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, which is also
recognized as a separate component of equity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Fair values of financial instruments
are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more
fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties
and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk,
prepayments and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for
particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could
significantly affect the estimates.
Industry Segments - Internal financial information is primarily reported
and aggregated in the line of business of banking.
Reclassification - Certain amounts appearing in the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 1999 presentation.

The Bancorp had qualified under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to
deduct from taxable income a provision for bad debts in excess of the provision
for such losses charged to income in the financial statements, if any.
Accordingly, retained earnings at December 31, 1999 and 1998 includes
approximately $6,000,000 for which no provision for federal income taxes has
been made. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any
purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, federal income taxes would be
imposed at the then applicable rates. The unrecorded deferred income tax
liability on the above amounts was approximately $2,000,000 at December 31,
1999. Tax legislation passed in August 1996 now requires the Bancorp to deduct a
provision for bad debts for tax purposes based on actual loss experience and to
recapture the excess bad debt reserve accumulated in tax years after 1986. The
related amount of deferred tax which must be recaptured is $855,000 and is
payable over a six year period beginning in 1998.
NOTE 7 - Deposits
The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit with a balance of $100,000

1999 - 5.56%; 1998 - 5.42% ......................... $13,000 $8,000
Variable and fixed rate advances are payable at maturity, with a prepayment
penalty. Putable advances are fixed for a period of one to three years and then
may adjust quarterly to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate until
maturity. Once the putable advance interest rate adjusts, the Bancorp has the
option to prepay the advance on specified quarterly interest rate reset dates.
The advances were collateralized by $174,813,000 and $159,915,000 of securities
and mortgage loans under a blanket lien arrangement at December 31, 1999 and
1998.
The limited partnership obligation represents an investment interest in a
partnership formed for the construction, ownership and management of affordable
housing projects. The amount of the note is $500,000 with funding to begin
during 2000 and to continue over a nine year period. Payments are required
within ten days of written demand. The obligation to make payment is absolute

NOTE 9 - Employees' Benefit Plans
The Bancorp maintains a Profit Sharing Plan and Trust for all employees who
meet the plan qualifications. Employees are eligible to participate in the
Employees' Profit Sharing Plan and Trust if they are 21 years of age or older
and have completed one year of employment with more than 1,000 hours of service
to the Bancorp. The plan is noncontributory on the part of the employee.
Contributions to the Employees' Profit Sharing Plan and Trust are made at the
discretion of the Bancorp's Board of Directors. Contributions during the year
ended December 31, 1999 were based on 12% of the participants' total
compensation excluding incentives. Contributions during the years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997 were based on 10% and 9% of the participants' total
compensation excluding incentives. Participants in the plan become 100% vested
upon completion of five years of service. The benefit plan expense amounted to
$354,000, $274,000 and $204,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997.
The Bancorp maintains an Unqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan).
The purpose of the Plan is to provide deferred compensation to key senior
management employees of the bancorp in order to recognize their substantial
contributions to the Bank and provide them with additional financial security
as inducement to remain with the Bank. The Compensation Committee selects which
persons shall be participants in the Plan. Participants' accounts are credited
each year with an amount based on a formula involving the participant's employer
funded contributions under all qualified plans and the limitations imposed by
Internal Revenue Code subsection 401(a)(17) and Code section 415.
On December 1, 1999, the Bancorp established a supplemental executive
Retirement Plan (the Plan). The Plan is established as an unfunded,
non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The Plan provides a means for the
payment of supplemental retirement benefits to a select group of key senior
management employees, in recognition of their substantial contribution to the
operation of the Bancorp, and to provide those individuals with additional
financial security. The Board of Directors determines plan participants and
contributions. The Plan expense amounted to $55,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999.
During 1999, the Bancorp terminated its Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP) as directed by the Board of Directors and approved by the Internal
Revenue Service. All shares of the Bancorp's common stock held by the ESOP were
distributed to its participants. No contributions were made to the ESOP during
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. Contributions during the year ended
27
December 31, 1997 were based on 1% of the participants total compensation
excluding incentives. The ESOP expense amounted to $0, $0 and $23,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997.
NOTE 10 - Defined Benefit Postretirement Plan
The Bancorp sponsors a defined benefit postretirement plan that provides
comprehensive major medical benefits to all eligible retirees. Eligible retirees
are those who have attained age 65, have completed at least 18 years of service
and are eligible for coverage under the employee group medical plan as of the
date of their retirement. Spouses of eligible retirees are covered if they
were covered as of the employee's date of retirement. Surviving spouses are
covered if they were covered at the time of the retiree's death. Dependent
children of eligible retirees are generally covered to the later of age 19 or
until the child ceases being a full-time student. Surviving dependent children
are subject to the same eligibility restrictions if they were covered at the
time of the retiree's death. The Bancorp pays 50% of any future premium
increases for retiree medical coverage. Retirees pay 100% of the premiums for
all dependent medical coverage.
The following tables sets forth a reconciliation of the Bancorp's
postretirement benefit plan funding status and expense for the periods

NOTE 11 - Regulatory Capital
The Bancorp and Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements
administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt
corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors, and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure
to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could
have a direct material effect on the financial statements. The prompt corrective
action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and
critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent
overall financial condition.
At year end, capital levels (in millions) for the Bancorp and the Bank were
substantially the same. Actual capital levels, minimum required levels and
levels needed to be classified as well capitalized for the Bancorp are
summarized below:
Minimum

The Bancorp and the Bank were categorized as well capitalized at December
31, 1999 and 1998. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 1999
that management believes have changed the Bancorp's or Bank's category.
The Bancorp's ability to pay dividends is entirely dependent upon the
Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Bancorp. Under Indiana law, the Bank may
pay dividends of so much of 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
28
(approximately $4,778,000 at December 31, 1999). 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.
NOTE 12 - Stock Option Plan
Pursuant to a stock option plan (the Plan), an aggregate of 240,000 shares
of the Bancorp's common stock were reserved for issuance in respect of incentive
awards granted to officers and other employees of the Bancorp and the Bank.
Awards granted under the Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, or non-incentive
stock options or restricted stock. The purposes of the Plan are to attract and
retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentives for all
employees and to encourage their continued employment by facilitating employees'
purchases of an equity interest in the Bancorp.
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 requires pro forma disclosures for
companies that do not adopt its fair value accounting method for stock-based
employee compensation. Accordingly, the following pro forma information
presents net income and earnings per share had the fair value method been used
to measure compensation cost for stock option plans. No compensation cost was
recognized for stock options during 1999, 1998 and 1997.

1999 1998 1997
------ ------ -------
Risk free interest rate .............. 6.78% 5.73% 6.50%
Stock price volatility ............... 6.49% 5.57% 5.62%
Expected dividend rate ............... 4.02% 3.61% 4.00%
The expected life for the options for 1999, 1998 and 1997 is 7 to 8 years.
In future years, the pro forma effect of not applying this standard is
expected to increase as additional options are granted.
Options granted prior to 1995 were immediately exercisable. Options
granted since 1995 generally are exercisable upon completion of five years of
service after the date of grant. Information about option grants is provided in
the following schedule:

NOTE 15 - Commitments and Contingencies
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.
The Bancorp's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by
the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to originate loans
and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The Bancorp uses the
same credit policy to make such commitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet
items. Since commitments to make loans may expire without being used, the amount
does not necessarily represent future cash commitments.
The Bancorp had outstanding commitments to originate loans as follows:
(Dollars in thousands)
Fixed Variable
Rate Rate Total
------- ------- -------
December 31, 1999:
Real estate ....................... $10,791 $19,411 $30,202
Consumer loans .................... -- 526 526
Commercial business ............... -- 30,620 30,620
------- ------- -------
Total ............................ $10,791 $50,557 $61,348

December 31, 1998:
Real estate ....................... $ 5,193 $15,361 $20,554
Consumer loans .................... -- 468 468
Commercial business ............... -- 18,946 18,946
------- ------- -------
Total ............................ $ 5,193 $34,775 $39,968
======= ======= =======
The $10,791,000 in fixed rate commitments outstanding at December 31,
1999 had interest rates ranging from 6.75% to 9.00%, for a period not to exceed
forty-five days.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bancorp
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At December 31,
1999 and 1998, the Bancorp had standby letters of credit totaling $1,120,000 and
$1,945,000. The Bancorp evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case by
case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the
Bancorp upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of
the borrower. Collateral obtained may include accounts receivable, inventory,
property, land or other assets.
NOTE 16 - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Accrued interest payable ................... (1,098) (1,098)
For purposes of the above disclosures of estimated fair value, the
following assumptions were used as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. The estimated
fair value for cash and cash equivalents, Federal Home Loan Bank stock and
investments in real estate limited partnerships are considered to approximate
cost. The estimated fair value for securities is based on quoted market values
for the individual securities or equivalent securities. The estimated fair value
for loans is based on estimates of the rate the Bancorp would charge for similar
such loans at December 31, 1999 and 1998, applied for the time period until
estimated repayment. The estimated fair value for demand and savings deposits is
based on their carrying value. The estimated fair value for certificates of
deposits is based on estimates of the rate the Bancorp would pay on such
deposits at December 31, 1999 and 1998, applied for the time period until
maturity. The estimated fair value for borrowed funds is based on current rates
for similar financing. The estimated fair value of other financial instruments,
including mortgage servicing rights, and off-balance sheet loan commitments
approximate cost and are not considered significant to this presentation.
While these estimates of fair value are based on management's judgment of
the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that were the Bancorp to
have disposed of such items at December 31, 1999 and 1998, the estimated fair
values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values
may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 should not necessarily be considered to apply at
subsequent dates.
