NorthWest Indiana Bancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank SB (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Peoples Service Corporation and NWIN, LLC. The Bancorp has no other business activity other than being a holding company for the Bank. The Bancorp’s earnings are dependent upon the earnings of the Bank. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets of the Bancorp as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The income reported for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2 — Use of Estimates
     Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the disclosures provided. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates associated with the allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments and status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term.
Note 3 — Concentrations of Credit Risk
     The Bancorp grants residential, commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer 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, 2005 consolidated financial statements and the March 31, 2005 Form 10-Q have been reclassified to conform to the March 31, 2006 presentation.
Note 5 — Earnings Per Share
     Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per common share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 is presented below:

Note 6 — Stock Based Compensation
     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (FAS 123R), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (FAS 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”
     FAS 123R eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value based method. FAS 123R became effective January 1, 2006. Beginning January 1, 2006, the Bancorp adopted FAS 123R utilizing the modified prospective accounting method. Under the modified prospective method, the financial statements will not restate compensation expense for prior periods. FAS 123R requires companies to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employment service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employment service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. This will apply to awards granted or modified in fiscal years beginning in 2006. Compensation cost will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption. The effect on results of operations will depend on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided, and so cannot currently be predicted. During the first three months of 2006, option related compensation expense of $9,000 and tax benefit of $5,000 were recorded. Existing options that will vest after adoption date are expected to result in additional compensation expense of approximately $37,000 in 2006, $22,000 in 2007 and $2,000 in 2008.
     A summary of option activity under the Bancorp’s stock option plan for the three months ended March 31, 2006 is presented below:

Stockholders’ equity totaled $47.2 million or 7.7% of total assets, with book value per share at $16.90. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, was $1.7 million, or $0.60 earnings per common share for basic and diluted calculations. The annualized return on average assets (ROA) was 1.10%, while the annualized return on average stockholders’ equity (ROE) was 14.24%, for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Financial Condition
     During the three months ended March 31, 2006, total assets decreased by $12.2 million (-2.0%), with interest-earning assets decreasing by $10.5 million (1.8%). At March 31, 2006, interest-earning assets totaled $571.7 million and represented 92.9% of total assets.
     Loans receivable totaled $470.9 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $469.0 million at December 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006, loans receivable represented 82.4% of interest-earning assets, 76.6% of total assets and 92.4% of total deposits. The loan portfolio, which is the Bancorp’s largest asset, is a significant source of both interest and fee income. The Bancorp’s lending strategy stresses quality loan growth, product diversification, and competitive and profitable pricing. The loan portfolio includes $46.6 million (9.9%) in construction and development loans, $235.6 million (50.0%) in residential mortgage loans, $8.6 million (1.8%) in multifamily loans, $108.1 million (23.0%) in commercial real estate loans, $4.0 million (0.8%) in consumer loans, $49.8 million (10.6%) in commercial business and $18.2 million (3.9%) in government and other loans. Adjustable rate loans comprised 56.6% of total loans at March 31, 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, loans increased by $1.9 million (0.4%), primarily driven by growth in commercial real estate loans. During the period, growth in residential mortgages, construction and land development loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans was lower than projected as a result of lower than expected origination volume.
     The Bancorp is primarily a portfolio lender. Mortgage banking activities are generally limited to the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities generally exceeding 15 years. These loans are identified as held for sale when originated and sold, on a case-by-case basis, in the secondary market as part of the Bancorp’s efforts to manage interest rate risk. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Bancorp sold $913 thousand in fixed rate mortgages originated for sale compared to $920 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2005. Net gains realized from sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006 totaled $23 thousand compared to $28 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2005. At March 31, 2006, the Bancorp had $258 thousand in loans that were classified as loans held for sale.
     The primary objective of the Bancorp’s investment portfolio is to provide for the liquidity needs of the Bancorp and to contribute to profitability by providing a stable flow of dependable earnings. Funds are generally invested in federal funds, interest bearing balances in financial institutions, U.S. government securities, federal agency obligations and obligations of state and local municipalities. The investment portfolio totaled $100.5 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $113.1 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $12.6 million (11.1%). At March 31, 2006, the investment portfolio represented 17.6% of interest-earning assets and 16.3% of total assets. The securities portfolio was comprised of 48.5% in U.S. government agency debt securities, 33.6% in U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and 17.9% in municipal securities. At March 31, 2006, securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) totaled $83.8 million or 86.0% 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, 2006, the Bancorp had $3.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the securities portfolio increased by $7.4 million, while interest bearing balances in financial institutions decreased by $20.1 million as a result of a $25.0 million withdrawal of short-term local government funds.
     The allowance for loan losses (ALL) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries. A loan is charged-off against the allowance by management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur.

The determination of the amounts of the ALL and provisions for loan losses is based on management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio with consideration given to all known relevant internal and external factors that affect loan collectibility as of the reporting date. The appropriateness of the current year provision and the overall adequacy of the ALL are determined through a disciplined and consistently applied quarterly process that combines a review of the current position with a Risk Assessment Worksheet.
     The Risk Assessment Worksheet covers the residential, commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer loan portfolios. Management uses a risk rating system to assist in determining the appropriate level for the ALL. Management assigns risk factors to non-performing loans; loans that management has internally classified as impaired; loans that management has internally classified as substandard, doubtful, loss, or watch; and, performing loans.
     Risk factors for non-performing and internally classified loans are based on an analysis of the estimated collateral liquidation value for individual loans defined as substandard or doubtful. Estimated collateral liquidation values are based on established loan underwriting standards and adjusted for current mitigating factors on a loan-by-loan basis. Aggregate substandard loan collateral deficiencies are determined for residential, commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer loan portfolios. These deficiencies are then stated as a percentage of the total substandard balances to determine the appropriate risk factors.
     Risk factors for performing and non-classified loans are based on the average net charge-offs for the most recent five years, which are then stated as a percentage of average loans for the same period. Historical risk factors are calculated for residential, commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer loans. The historical factors are then adjusted for current subjective risks attributable to: local and national economic factors; loan growth and changes in loan composition; organizational structure; composition of loan staff; loan concentrations; policy changes and out of market lending activity.
     Non-performing loans include those loans that are 90 days or more past due and those loans that have been placed on non-accrual status. Non-performing loans totaled $2.7 million at March 31, 2006 compared to $2.1 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $569 thousand or 27%. The net increase in non-performing loans at March 31, 2006 is related to one borrower with one commercial business loan and two loans secured by real estate totaling $1.4 million that were placed on non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2006. These loans have been considered impaired at both March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. As a result, the impaired loan balances were included in the allowance for loan loss analysis at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and no additional provisions were required during the first quarter of 2006. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.57% at March 31, 2006 compared to 0.45% at December 31, 2005. The ratio of non-performing loans to total assets was 0.44% at March 31, 2006, compared to 0.34% at December 31, 2005. The March 31, 2006 balance includes $2.4 million in loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis and $259 thousand in accruing loans which were contractually past due 90 days or more. Loans internally classified as substandard totaled $3.1 million at March 31, 2006, a decrease of $109 thousand from the $3.2 million reported at December 31, 2005. No loans were classified as doubtful or loss. Substandard loans include non-performing loans and potential problem loans, where information about possible credit issues or other conditions causes management to question the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan covenants or repayment terms. In addition to identifying and monitoring non-performing and other classified loans, management maintains a list of watch loans. Watch loans represent loans management is more closely monitoring due to one or more factors that may cause the loan to become classified. Watch loans totaled $8.9 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
     At March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, included in non-performing loans were four loans totaling $1.7 million that have been classified as impaired. Included in the impaired loan balance are three loans to one commercial borrower totaling $1.4 million that are secured by business assets and real estate and are personally guaranteed by the owner of the business. In addition, one commercial business loan totaling $266 thousand continues to be classified as impaired. Impaired loans are loans where full payment under the loan terms is not expected. There were no other loans considered to be impaired loans as of, or for the quarter ended, March 31, 2006.
     At March 31, 2006, management is of the opinion that there are no loans, except those discussed above, where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as non-accrual, past due or restructured loans. Also, at March 31, 2006, there were no other interest bearing assets that would be required to be disclosed as non-accrual, past due, restructured or potential problems if such assets were loans. Management does not presently anticipate that any of the non-performing loans or classified loans would materially impact future operations, liquidity or capital resources.

     For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, no additions to the ALL account were required, compared to $65 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Although non-performing loans increased during the current period, no additional ALL provisions were required. The increase in non-performing loans was a result of three loans totaling $1.4 million that had been classified as impaired at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and were placed in non-accrual status during the first quarter of 2006. Since these loans were previously classified as impaired, the December 31, 2005 ALL contained a specific allowance for the collateral deficiency associated with these loans. Recoveries, net of charge-offs, totaled $15 thousand for the current quarter compared to charge-offs, net of recoveries, of $26 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The balance of $4.2 million in the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2006, is considered adequate by management based on its current analysis of loan portfolio credit quality, changes in the portfolio mix and local economic conditions.
     The ALL to total loans was 0.89% at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, while the ALL to non-performing loans (coverage ratio) was 156.6% at March 31, 2006, compared to 198.1% at December 31, 2005. A consistently strong coverage ratio is an indicator that sufficient provisions for loan losses have been established. The March 31, 2006 balance in the ALL account of $4.2 million is considered adequate by management after evaluation of the loan portfolio, past experience and current economic and market conditions. While management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loans, the whole allowance is available for any loan charge-offs that occur. The allocation of the ALL reflects performance and growth trends within the various loan categories, as well as consideration of the facts and circumstances that affect the repayment of individual loans, and loans which have been pooled as of the evaluation date, with particular attention given to non-performing loans and loans which have been classified as substandard, doubtful or loss. Management has allocated a general allowance to both performing and non-performing loans based on current information available.
     At March 31, 2006, the Bancorp had one property in foreclosed real estate totaling $119, compared to two properties totaling $260 thousand at December 31, 2005.
     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, 2006, deposits totaled $509.8 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, deposits decreased by $15.9 million (3.0%). Money market deposit accounts (MMDA’s) decreased by $13.0 million (9.1%), as a result of a $25.0 million withdrawal of short-term local government funds. Certificates of deposit increased by $816 thousand (0.4%). During the current period, checking accounts decreased by $2.4 million (2.3%) and savings balances decreased by $1.4 million (2.2%). At March 31, 2006, the deposit base was comprised of 20.4% checking accounts, 25.5% MMDA’s, 11.8% savings accounts and 42.3% certificates of deposit.
     Borrowings are primarily used to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation. At March 31, 2006, borrowed funds totaled $53.9 million compared to $51.2 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $2.8 million (5.5%). Retail repurchase agreements totaled $14.2 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $12.1 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $2.1 million (17.6%). FHLB advances totaled $35.0 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $37.5 million at December 31, 2005. In addition, other short-term borrowings totaled $4.7 million at March 31, 2006, compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $3.2 million. The increase in other short-term borrowings was a result of line of credit balances.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     For the Bancorp, liquidity management refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals, and pay dividends and operating expenses. Because the Bancorp is subject to legal reserve requirements under Federal Reserve Regulation D, liquidity is managed to ensure that the Bancorp maintains an adequate level of legal reserves. In addition, liquidity is managed to meet the cash demands of depositors and its loan customers. Because profitability and liquidity are often conflicting objectives, management attempts to maximize the Bancorp’s net interest margin by making adequate, but not excessive, liquidity provisions.
     Changes in the liquidity position result from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities are generally the cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the determination of net income. The primary investing activities include loan originations, loan repayments, investments in interest bearing balances in financial institutions, and the purchase, sale, and maturity of investment securities. Financing activities focus almost entirely on the generation of customer deposits. In addition, the Bancorp utilizes borrowings (i.e., retail repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB) as a source of funds.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $23.8 million compared to a $4.9 million increase for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The primary sources of cash were proceeds from pay downs of securities, loan sales, loan repayments and proceeds from FHLB advances and other borrowed funds. The primary uses of cash were the purchase of securities, funding of withdrawals for short-term local government funds, repayment of FHLB advances, purchase of loan participations, purchase of bank owned life insurance and the payment of common stock dividends. Cash provided for operating activities totaled $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to an increase of $1.5 million for the period ended March 31, 2005. Cash outflows from investing activities totaled $11.7 million for the current period, compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The change for the current period was primarily due to an increase in security investing activities. Net cash outflows from financing activities totaled $13.9 million during the current period compared to net cash inflows of $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The change in net cash inflows from financing activities was primarily due to a $25.0 million withdrawal of short-term local government funds. The Bancorp paid dividends on common stock of $918 thousand during the current three month period compared to $859 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
     At March 31, 2006, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled $82.7 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 maintaining a high level of capital enhances safety and soundness. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, stockholders’ equity increased by $731 thousand (1.6%). The increase resulted primarily from earnings of $1.7 million during the period. The Bancorp declared $976 thousand in cash dividends for the three month period ended March 31, 2006. The net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities, net of tax was $94 thousand for the current period. During the current three month period, the Bancorp received $124 thousand from the issuance of Bancorp common stock from stock-based compensation plans.
     The Bancorp is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”), and the Bank is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the FDIC. As applied to the Bancorp and the Bank, the FRB and FDIC capital requirements are substantially identical. The Bancorp and the Bank are required to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1 capital. In addition, the FRB and FDIC regulations provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital 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, 2006, and December 31, 2005, the Bancorp’s capital exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bancorp’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios were substantially the same at both dates. The dollar amounts are in millions.

     The Bancorp’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is entirely dependent upon the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Bancorp. Under Indiana law, the Bank may pay dividends from its undivided profits (generally, earnings less losses, bad debts, taxes and other operating expenses) as is considered expedient by the Bank’s Board of Directors. However, the Bank must obtain the approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions for the payment of a dividend if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank during the current

year, including the proposed dividend, would exceed the sum of retained net income for the year to date plus its retained net income for the previous two years. For this purpose, “retained net income” means net income as calculated for call report purposes, less all dividends declared for the applicable period. Moreover, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board may prohibit the payment of dividends if it determines that the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the Bank. The aggregate amount of dividends, which may be declared by the Bank in 2006, without prior regulatory approval, approximates $5,176,000 plus current 2006 net profits.
Results of Operations — Comparison of the Quarter Ended March 31, 2006 to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2005
     Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.7 million compared to $1.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $69 thousand (4.3%). The earnings represent a ROA of 1.10% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared to 1.14% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The ROE was 14.24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared to 14.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
     Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $5.04 million, a decrease of $19 thousand (0.4%), compared to $5.06 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in net interest income has been negatively impacted by the flat treasury yield curve, lower than projected loan growth, an increase in MMDA and certificate of deposit average balances and an increase in the Bank’s overall cost of funds. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to 5.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The weighted-average cost of funds for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, was 2.33% compared to 1.51% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The impact of the 5.79% return on interest-earning assets and the 2.33% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of 3.46% for the current quarter compared to 3.84% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. During the current quarter, total interest income increased by $1.30 million (18.5%) while total interest expense increased by $1.32 million (67.6%). The net interest margin was 3.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to 3.86% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. On a tax equivalent basis, the Bancorp’s net interest margin was 3.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to 3.93% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005
     During the three months ended March 31, 2006, interest income from loans increased by $1.0 million (16.3%) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase was due to higher average daily loan balances and an increase in the weighted-average yield. Average daily loan balances was affected by strong growth in commercial real estate loans, while growth in real estate, commercial business and consumer loans were lower than expected due to low origination volume. The weighted-average yield on loans outstanding was 6.22% for the current quarter compared to 5.73% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Loan balances averaged $465.2 million for the current quarter, up $31.1 million (7.2%) from $434.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, interest income on investments and other deposits increased by $282 thousand (35.6%) compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase was due to higher security portfolio average balances, an increase in portfolio yields and a significant increase in interest-bearing balances in financial institutions. The weighted-average yield on securities and other deposits was 3.98% for the current quarter compared to 3.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Securities and other deposits averaged $108.1 million for the current quarter, up $18.6 million (20.8%) from $89.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
     Interest expense for deposits increased by $1.3 million (81.6%) during the current quarter compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005. The change was due to an increase in the weighted-average rate paid on deposits and increased average balances. The weighted-average rate paid on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was 2.21% compared to 1.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Total deposit balances averaged $507.1 million for the current quarter, up $43.2 million (9.3%) from $463.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $60 thousand (14.7%) during the current quarter due to an increase in the weighted-average rate paid and an increase in average daily balances. The weighted-average cost of borrowed funds was 3.54% for the current quarter compared to 3.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Borrowed funds averaged $52.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $1.1 million (2.1%) from $51.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
     Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $1.0 million, an increase of $233 thousand (29.1%) from $802 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. During the current quarter fees and service charges totaled $716 thousand, an increase of $203 thousand (39.6%) from $513 thousand for the quarter ended

March 31, 2005. The change was primarily due to the Bancorp’s recently implemented overdraft privilege program. Fees from Trust operations totaled $162 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $11 thousand (7.3%) from $151 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Income from increases in the cash value of bank owned life insurance totaled $75 thousand during the current quarter. Gains from loan sales totaled $23 thousand for the current quarter, compared to $28 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Gains from the sale of foreclosed real estate totaled $42 thousand for the current period, compared to $9 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2005. No gains or losses from the sale of securities were realized during the current period.
     Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was $3.6 million, up $204 thousand (6.0%) from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005. During the current quarter, compensation and benefits totaled $1.88 million, an increase of $18 thousand (1.0%) from $1.86 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Occupancy and equipment totaled $612 thousand for the current quarter, an increase of $49 thousand (8.7%) compared to $563 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase was a result of additional real estate tax and depreciation expense related to banking operations. Data processing expense totaled $202 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $17 thousand (9.2%) from $185 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The change was a result of increased transaction volume with the Bancorp’s core data processing system. Marketing expense related to banking products totaled $97 thousand for the current quarter, an increase of $26 thousand (36.6%) from $71 thousand for the first quarter of 2005. The increase in marketing expense is related to advertising the Bancorp’s brand within local markets. Other expense totaled $828 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $94 thousand (12.8%) from $734 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The increase was due to expense associated with third party professional services and the Bancorp’s investment in limited partnerships. The Bancorp’s efficiency ratio was 59.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared to 58.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. 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, 2006 totaled $778 thousand, compared to $772 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $6 thousand (0.8%). The combined effective federal and state tax rates for the Bancorp was 31.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to 32.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
Critical Accounting Policies
     Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that management believes are most important to the portrayal of the Bancorp’s financial condition and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The Bancorp’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Bancorp’s earnings and capital will be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. The primary approach to interest rate risk management is one that focuses on adjustments to the Bancorp’s asset/liability mix in order to limit the magnitude of interest rate risk. The Board of Directors has delegated the responsibility for measuring, monitoring and controlling interest rate risk to the Bancorp’s asset/liability capital and technology management committee (ALCTM). The ALCTM is responsible for developing and implementing interest rate risk management strategies, establishing and maintaining a system of limits and controls, and establishing and utilizing an interest rate risk measurement system. The ALCTM, which is made up of members of senior management, generally meets monthly with board presentations occurring quarterly.
     Performance from an interest rate risk perspective can be measured in many ways. Methodologies used by the Bancorp focus on net interest income and the net economic value of equity. Net interest income is defined as interest income less interest expense. Variability in net interest income arises because its components — interest income and interest expense — do not change equally as rates vary. This mismatch occurs because individual assets and liabilities reprice differently as rates change. Factors which affect net interest income include changes in the level of interest rates, changes in the relationship between Bancorp yield rates and interest costs, changes in the volume of assets and liabilities outstanding, and changes in the composition or mix of assets and liabilities. Management uses rate shock (i.e., instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve in 1% increments up and down 2% for stress testing the net interest income under several rate change levels. In order to simulate activity, maturing balances are replaced with new balances at the new rate level and repricing balances are adjusted to the new rate shock level. The results are compared to limits set by the Board of Directors and are monitored to identify unfavorable trends. Net economic value of equity is the net present value of the Bancorp’s portfolio of assets and liabilities. By marking-to-market the components of the balance sheet, management can compute the net economic value of equity. As rates change over time, the market values of Bancorp assets and liabilities will change, with longer-term products fluctuating more than short-term products. In most cases, rate-sensitive assets and liabilities will not have the same maturity characteristics. Therefore, as rates vary, the market value of the rate-sensitive assets will not change equally with the market value of rate-sensitive liabilities. This will cause the net economic value of equity to vary. The focus of the net economic value of equity is to determine the percentage decline in the net economic value of equity caused by a 2% increase or decrease in interest rates, whichever produces the larger decline. A large value indicates a large percentage decline in the net economic value of equity due to changes in interest rates and, thus, high interest rate sensitivity. A low value indicates a small percentage decline in the net economic value of equity due to changes in interest rates and, thus, low interest rate sensitivity. As with net interest income, the results are compared to limits set by the Board of Directors and are monitored to identify unfavorable trends.
     Presented in the following tables is forward-looking information about the Bancorp’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates as of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The tables incorporate the Bancorp’s internal system generated data as related to the maturity and repayment/withdrawal of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Prepayment assumptions are based on published data. Present value calculations use current published market interest rates. For core deposits that have no contractual maturity, the table presents principal cash flows and, as applicable, related weighted-average interest rates based on the Bancorp’s historical experience, management’s judgment, and statistical analysis, as applicable, concerning their most likely withdrawal behaviors, but not as to when they could be repriced.

     The tables show that the Bancorp has managed interest rate risk within the policy limits set by the Board of Directors. At March 31, 2006, an increase in interest rates of 2% would have resulted in a 3.6% decrease in net interest income and a 14.8% decrease in the net economic value of equity compared to decreases of 2.9% and 14.5% at December 31, 2005. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Bancorp has managed interest rate risk by generally selling fixed rate loans with contractual maturities exceeding 15 years, maintaining the short duration of the securities portfolio, and implementing deposit pricing strategies.
