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 Banks wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Service Corporation. The Bancorp has no other business activity other than being a holding company for the Bank. The Bancorps earnings are dependent upon the earnings of the Bank. Peoples Service Corporation is inactive. 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 balance sheets of the Bancorp as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the statements of income and changes in stockholders equity for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The income reported for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 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 liabilites 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.
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, 2001 consolidated financial statements and the March 31, 2001 Form 10-Q have been reclassified to conform to the March 31, 2002 presentation.
Note 5 Commitments and Contingencies
The Bancorp is a party to financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuating interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit.
Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bancorp uses the same credit policy to make such commitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet items.
At March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, commitments to make loans totaled $50.4 million and $63.0 million, and standby letters of credit totaled $1.2 million and $716 thousand. At March 31, 2002, $41.8 million (83%) of the commitments were at variable rates.
Since commitments to make loans may expire without being used, this amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using managements credit evaluation of the borrower and may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, land and other items.

Managements 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 (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.
At March 31, 2002, the Bancorp had total assets of $450.3 million and total deposits of $371.0 million. Stockholders equity totaled $36.2 million or 8.0% of total assets, with book value per share at $13.25. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002, was $1.3 million, or $0.48 per common share for basic and diluted calculations. The annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.18%, while the annualized return on average stockholders equity (ROE) was 14.39%, for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
Financial Condition
During the three months ended March 31, 2002, total assets increased by $9.6 million (2.2%), with interest-earning assets increasing by $12.3 million (3.0%). At March 31, 2002, interest-earning assets totaled $425.4 million and represented 94.5% of total assets.
Loans receivable totaled $361.7 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $342.6 million at December 31, 2001. At March 31, 2002, loans receivable represented 85.0% of interest-earning assets, 80.3% of total assets and 97.5% of total deposits. The loan portfolio, which is the Bancorps largest asset, is a significant source of both interest and fee income. The Bancorps lending strategy stresses quality growth, product diversification, and competitive and profitable pricing. The loan portfolio includes $14.2 million (3.9%) in construction and development loans, $202.8 million (56.1%) in residential mortgage loans, $11.2 million (3.1%) in multifamily loans, $81.4 million (22.5%) in commercial real estate loans, $10.1 million (2.8%) in consumer loans, and $42.0 million (11.6%) in commercial business and other loans. Adjustable rate loans comprised 43% of total loans at March 31, 2002. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, loans increased by $19.1 million (5.6%), including $5.2 million in loan participations purchased. Growth was reported in all major areas of lending. The most significant growth was in residential real estate, commercial business, construction and development, and commercial real estate. Management believes that despite concerns about the pace of economic activity, loan growth will continue to improve during the remaining months of 2002 because of the low interest rate environment and an aggressive marketing and call program effort. Management expects to fund loan growth with a mix of deposits and borrowed funds.
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 Bancorps efforts to manage interest rate risk. The Bancorp retains the servicing on all loans sold in the secondary market. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Bancorp sold $2.7 million in fixed rate mortgages compared to $613 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net gains realized from current year sales totaled $49 thousand compared to $15 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2001. At March 31, 2002, the Bancorp had no loans classified as held for sale.

The primary objective of the Bancorps investment portfolio is to provide for the liquidity needs of the Bancorp and to contribute to profitability by providing a stable flow of dependable earnings. Funds are generally invested in federal funds, interest bearing balances in financial institutions, U.S. government securities 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 seven years. At March 31, 2002, the investment portfolio totaled $59.2 million and was invested as follows: 1.7% in U.S. government debt securities, 68.7% in U.S. government agency debt securities, and 29.6% in U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. At March 31, 2002, securities available-for-sale (AFS) totaled $56.9 million or 96.1% of total securities. AFS securities are those the Bancorp may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons. In addition, at March 31, 2002, the Bancorp had $1.8 million in interest bearing balances in financial institutions, $211 thousand in federal funds sold, and $2.4 million in FHLB stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, securities decreased by $7.0 million (11.0%), as proceeds from maturing securities and the sale of securities with expected calls were used to pay off short-term borrowings and provide funding for loan growth.
At March 31, 2002, non-performing loans, which include those loans that are 90 days or more past due and those loans that have been placed on non-accrual status, totaled $3.3 million, an increase of $345 thousand from December 31, 2001. The ratio of non-performing loans to total assets was 0.72% at March 31, 2002, compared to 0.66% at December 31, 2001. The March 31, 2002 balance includes $2.4 million in loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and $838 thousand in accruing loans which were contractually past due 90 days or more. At March 31, 2002, $2.4 million of the Bancorps loans were internally classified as substandard compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2001. There were no loans classified as doubtful or loss. Substandard loans include non-performing loans and potential problem loans, where information about possible credit problems causes management to question the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment terms.
The balances for non-performing and substandard loans includes of two loans totaling $1.4 million to a company, and its guarantors, that specializes in heavy hauling, trucking and excavating. The two loans have been classified as impaired. Impaired loans are loans where full payment under the loan terms is not expected. No other loan were considered to be impaired loans as of, or for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
At March 31, 2002, management of the Bancorp is of the opinion that there are no loans, except those discussed above, where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as non-accrual, past due or restructured loans. Also, at March 31, 2002, there are no other interest bearing assets that would be required to be disclosed as non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problem 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.
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 the three months ended March 31, 2002, additions to the ALL account totaled $130 thousand compared to $45 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The provision is based on managements 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 portfolio remains sound, provisions during the three months ended March 31, 2002 were warranted because of
7
increased average daily loan balances, apparent weaknesses in the local economy, and the inherent risk associated with growth in commercial real estate and commercial business loans. During the current quarter net recoveries totaled $1 thousand, compared to charge-offs, net of recoveries, of $288 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The appropriateness of the current year provision and the overall adequacy of the ALL were determined through a disciplined and consistently applied quarterly process that combines a review of current activity with a risk assessment worksheet.
At March 31, 2002, the ALL to total loans was 0.91% compared to 0.92% at December 31, 2001, while the ALL to nonperforming loans (coverage ratio) was 101.1% compared to 108.6% for the same periods. The March 31, 2002 balance in the ALL account of $3.3 million 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 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 all non-performing loans based on current information available. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, additions to the ALL were allocated to commercial business loans due to the increase in non-performing balances resulting from two impaired loans and growth in this product area.
Deposits are a fundamental and cost-effective source of funds for lending and other investment purposes. The Bancorp offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with the primary focus on building and expanding relationships. At March 31, 2002, deposits totaled $371.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, deposit growth totaled $15.7 million (4.4%). Checking accounts increased $2.9 million (3.9%), money market deposit accounts (MMDAs) increased $1.3 million (2.9%), savings accounts increased $5.7 million (3.2%), and certificates of deposit increased $5.8 million (3.2%). At March 31, 2002, the deposit base was comprised of 21.1% checking accounts, 12.7% MMDAs, 15.1% savings accounts and 51.1% certificates of deposit. The growth in deposits was a result of competitive product offerings, an aggressive marketing program, and volatility in the financial markets.
Borrowings are primarily used to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation. At March 31, 2002, borrowed funds totaled $38.5 million compared to $45.0 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $6.5 million (14.5%). Repurchase agreements totaled $16.9 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $15.6 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $1.3 million (8.1%). FHLB advances totaled $20 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $17 million at December 31, 2001, an increase of $3 million, as the Bancorp extended the maturity structure of interest-bearing liabilities at cost effective interest rates. Other short-term borrowings totaled $1.6 million at March 31, 2002, compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2001, a decrease of $10.8 million as the Bancorp paid off short-term funding.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Bancorps primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Bancorps 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 Bancorps 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 Bancorps asset/liability management committee (ALCO). The ALCO is
8
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 Bancorps 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 Bancorps sensitivity to changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001. The tables incorporate the Bancorps 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 Bancorps historical experience, managements 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 March 31, 2002, an increase in interest rates of 2% would have resulted in a 7.6% decrease in net interest income and a 20.3% decrease in the net economic value of equity compared to decreases of 7.8% and 19.5% at December 31, 2001. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Bancorp has managed interest rate risk by increasing interest bearing balances in financial institutions, selling fixed rate loans and reducing short-term borrowings.
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 Bancorps 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 Bancorps 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2002, cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.2 million compared to a $16.6 million increase for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The primary sources of cash were deposit growth, proceeds from maturities and sales of securities and cash provided by operating activities. The primary uses of cash were loan originations, loan participations purchased, the repayment of short-term borrowings and the payment of common stock dividends. During the current three months cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.5 million compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The primary source of the increase during the current three months was the increase in net income and the sale of fixed rate loans. Cash outflows from investing activities totaled $12.3 million compared to cash inflows of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The current period reflects loan growth. Cash flows from financing activities totaled $8.6 million during the current period compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. While deposit growth has been strong, the decrease reflects the repayment of short-term borrowings. The Bancorp paid dividends on common stock of $708 thousand during the current three months compared to $649 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
At March 31, 2002, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled $50.4 million. Approximately 83% of the commitments were at variable rates. Management believes that the Bancorp has sufficient cash flow and borrowing capacity to fund all outstanding commitments and to maintain proper levels of liquidity.
Management strongly believes that maintaining a high level of capital enhances safety and soundness. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, stockholders equity increased by $349 thousand (1.0%). The increase resulted primarily from earnings of $1.3 million during the period. In addition, $72 thousand represents proceeds from the exercise of 5,668 stock options. The Bancorp declared $765 thousand in cash dividends. The net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities, net of tax was $264 thousand for the 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 March 31, 2002, and December 31, 2001, the Bancorps capital exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bancorps and the Banks regulatory capital ratios were substantially the same at both dates. The dollar amounts are in millions.

The net interest margin was 3.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to 3.73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
During the three months ended March 31, 2002, interest income from loans decreased by $493 thousand (7.5%) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease was due to lower yields on loans outstanding. The weighted-average yield on loans outstanding was 6.85% for the current quarter compared to 8.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Loan balances averaged $352.7 million for the current quarter, up $27.6 million (8.5%) from $325.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, interest income on investments and other deposits increased by $188 thousand (30.0%) compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The increase was due to higher average daily balances. The weighted-average yield on securities and other deposits was 4.84% for the current quarter compared to 5.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Securities and other deposits averaged $67.4
12
million for the current quarter, up $24.1 million (55.7%) from $43.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
Interest expense for deposits decreased by $867 thousand (27.5%) during the current quarter compared to the three months ended March 31, 2001. 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 March 31, 2002 was 2.55% compared to 3.92% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Total deposit balances averaged $358.0 million for the current quarter, up $36.8 million (11.5%) from $321.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased by $14 thousand (3.6%) during the current quarter due to a reduction in the weighted-average rate paid on borrowed funds for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The weighted-average cost of borrowed funds was 3.44% for the current quarter compared to 5.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Borrowed funds averaged $43.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2002, up $14.2 million (47.8%) from $29.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $636 thousand, up $90 thousand (16.5%) from $546 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2001. During the period income from Trust operations totaled $103 thousand, an increase $13 thousand (14.4%) from $90 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. During the current quarter the Bancorp reported $36 thousand in gains on sale of loans compared to gains of $13 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2001. In addition, the Bancorp reported $89 thousand in gains on securities compared to $30 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2001, and $9 thousand in gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate, while no gains were reported during the quarter ended March 31, 2001.
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $2.6 million, up $196 thousand (8.1%) from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to annual salary increases and additional staffing for current operations. Other expense changes were due to standard increases in operations. The Bancorps efficiency ratio was 53.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to 57.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The ratio is determined by dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income for the period.
Income tax expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 totaled $792 thousand compared to $655 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2001, an increase of $137 thousand (20.9%).
