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, NWIN, LLC and NWIN Funding, Inc.  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 necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets of the Bancorp as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  The income reported for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 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 investment securities and status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term.

Note 3 – Securities
The fair value of available-for-sale securities and the related gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows:

      Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the securities are of high credit quality or have undisrupted cash flows.  Management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates.  The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

Note 7 – Stock Based Compensation
The Bancorp’s 2004 Stock Option Plan (the Plan), which is stockholder-approved, permits the grant of share options to its employees for up to 250,000 shares of common stock. Awards granted under the Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-incentive stock options, or restricted stock.  As required by the Compensation – Stock Compensation Topic (formerly Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (FAS 123R,), “Share-Based Payments”), companies are required to record compensation cost for stock options provided to employees in return for employment service.  The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employment service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options.  Compensation cost will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, stock based compensation expense of $33,000 was recorded, compared to $45,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  It is anticipated that current outstanding vested and unvested options will result in additional compensation expense of approximately $11,000 in 2009 and $42,000 in 2010.

There were 2,500 shares of restricted stock granted during the first nine months of 2009, compared to 600 shares during the first nine months of 2008.

Note 8 – Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Effective for periods on or after September 15, 2009, references to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which is sometimes referred to as the Codification or ASC.  The Codification does not change how NorthWest Indiana Bancorp accounts for its transactions or the nature of related disclosures made.  However, when referring to GAAP, the Bancorp refers to topics in the ASC. We have updated references to GAAP to reflect the guidance in the Codification.

The Fair Value Measurements Topic of the ASC (formerly known as FAS No. 157), establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This Topic establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.  The Topic was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  In February 2008, this Topic was updated (formerly FSP 157-2) to delay the effective date of  the Standard for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In October 2008, the Topic was updated (formerly FSP 157-3) to clarify the application of the Topic in a market that is not active.  In April 2009, the Topic was updated  (formerly FSP 157-4)  to provide additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with the Topic when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability being measured have significantly decreased.  This update also included guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.  This update was effective for reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.

The Compensation – Retirement Benefits Aspects Topic (formerly known as EITF No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”) requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement.  The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement.  This issue was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.  A liability of $104,000 has been recorded and reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings since adoption.

The Financial Instruments Topic was updated (formerly FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”) to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies that were previously only required to be disclosed in annual financial statements.  This update was effective for the Bancorp’s interim period ending on June 30, 2009 and has been included as part of Note 9, Fair Value.
 
The Investments – Debt and Equity Securities Topic was updated (formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”) to amend current other-than-temporary impairment guidance in the Topic for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements.  This update does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities.  The Topic is effective for the Bancorp’s interim period ending on June 30, 2009.

The Subsequent Events Topic (formerly FAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”) establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  In particular, this Topic sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  In accordance with this Topic, an entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.

The Transfers and Servicing Topic was updated (formerly FAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”) to remove the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from the Topic and removes the exception from applying the Consolidations Topic (formerly FASB Interpretation No. 46R)  The objective in issuing this update is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets.  This update must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  The impact of adoption is not expected to be material.

The Consolidations Topic was amended (formerly FAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”) to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities.  The amendment addresses (1) the effects on certain provisions of the Topic as they relate to the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in the Transfers and Servicing Topic and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of the Topic including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Topic do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity.  This amendment shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter.  The impact of adoption is not expected to be material.

Note 9 – Fair Value
The Fair Value Measurements Topic establishes a hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Topic describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.

 
10

 

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined on a recurring basis by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or pricing models utilizing significant observable inputs such as matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.  Different judgment and assumptions used in pricing could result in different estimates of value.  In certain cases where market data is not readily available because of lack of market activity or little public disclosure, values may be based on unobservable inputs and classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

      At the end of each reporting period securities held in the investment portfolio are evaluated on an individual security level for other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with the Investments – Debt and Equity Securities Topic.  An impairment is other-than-temporary if the decline in the fair value of the security is below its amortized cost and it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be received.  Significant judgments are required in determining impairment, which include making assumptions regarding the estimated prepayments, loss assumptions and the change in interest rates.  We consider the following factors when determining an other-than-temporary impairment for a security: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than amortized cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; the underlying fundamentals of the relevant market and the outlook for such market for the near future; an assessment of whether the Bancorp has (1) the intent to sell the debt securities or (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the debt securities before its anticipated market recovery.  If either of these conditions is met, management will recognize other-than-temporary impairment.  If, in management’s judgment, an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the cost basis of the security will be written down for the credit loss, and the unrealized loss will be transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an immediate reduction of current earnings.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Bancorp’s management performed an other-than-temporary impairment analysis for each of its four pooled trust preferred securities.  The analysis utilizes analytical models used to project future cash flows for the pooled trust preferred securities based on current assumptions for prepayments, default and deferral rates, and recoveries.  The projected cash flows are than tested for impairment consistent with the Investments – Other Topic (formerly FSP EITF 99-20-1) and the Investments – Debt and Equity Securities Topic (formerly FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2).  The other-than-temporary impairment testing compares the present value of the cash flows from quarter to quarter to determine if there is a “favorable” or “adverse” change.  Other-than-temporary impairment is recorded if the projected present value is lower than the book value of the security.  To perform the quarterly other-than-temporary impairment analysis, management utilizes current reports issued by the trustee, which contains principal and interest tests, waterfall distributions, note valuations, collection detail and credit ratings for each pooled trust preferred security.  In addition, for the performing collateral, management monitors the level of non-performing assets and capital adequacy to determine trends of future defaults or deferrals.  The other-than-temporary impairment analysis indicated that one of the trust preferred securities has other-than-temporary impairment in the amount of $44 thousand.  The unrealized loss for the remaining three trust preferred securities represents a decline in value that is considered a temporary impairment.  These investments are collateralized by underlying investments in trust preferred securities issued by many different banks and insurance companies.  We believe the increase in the net unrealized loss is the result of the current economic decline, the low trade volume of the security, and the lack of confidence in the financial services industry.

The table below shows the credit loss roll forward for the Bancorp’s trust preferred securities that have been classified with other-than-temporary impairment:

In the table above, the Bancorp’s excess subordination for each trust preferred security is calculated by taking the total performing collateral and subtracting the sum of the total collateral within the Bancorp’s class and the total collateral within all senior classes, and then stating this result as a percentage of the total performing collateral.  This measure is an indicator of the level of collateral that can default before potential cash flow disruptions may occur.  In addition, management calculates excess subordination assuming future collateral defaults by utilizing the default/deferral assumptions in the Bancorp’s OTTI analysis.  Excess subordination assuming future default/deferral assumptions is calculated by deducting future defaults from the current performing collateral.  At September 30, 2009, management reviewed the excess subordination levels for each security in context of the level of current collateral defaults and deferrals within each security; the potential for additional defaults and deferrals within each security; the length of time that the security has been in “payment in kind” status; and the Bancorp’s class position within each security.
 
In the table above, management calculated the other-than-temporary impairment model assumptions based on the specific collateral underlying each individual security.  The following assumption methodology was applied consistently to each of the four pooled trust preferred securities:  All defaulted collateral was identified and removed from the bank pool; no cash flows were assumed from the banks currently in deferral, with the exception of the recovery assumptions; and for each bank remaining in the bank pool the most recent financial data submitted by the banks for regulatory purposes was used to identify capitalization levels and asset quality.  The default and recovery assumptions were calculated based on the level of capital adequacy and asset quality for each bank contained in the collateral pool.  The discount rate assumption used in the calculation of the present value of cash flows is based on the discount margin (i.e., credit spread) at the time each security was purchased using the original purchase price.  The discount margin is then added to the appropriate 3-month LIBOR forward rate obtained from the forward LIBOR curve.  The assumption for prepayments was 1% for each of the four pooled trust preferred securities.  At September 30, 2009, based on the current information available regarding the specific collateral underlying the securities, management’s OTTI analysis indicated that three of the four trust preferred securities had other-than-temporary impairment of $44 thousand in the aggregate.
 
At September 30, 2009, three of the trust preferred securities with a cost basis of $4.2 million have been placed in “payment in kind” status.   The Bancorp’s securities that are classified as “payment in kind” are a result of not receiving the scheduled quarterly interest payments.  For the securities in “payment in kind” status, management anticipates to receive the unpaid contractual interest payments from the issuer, because of the self correcting cash flow waterfall provisions within the structure of the securities.  When a tranche senior to the Bancorp’s position fails the coverage test, the Bancorp’s interest cash flows are paid to the senior tranche and recorded as a reduction of principal.  The coverage test represents an over collateralization target by stating the balance of the performing collateral as a percentage of the balance of the Bancorp’s tranche, plus the balance of all senior tranches.  The principal reduction in the senior tranche continues until the appropriate coverage test is passed.  As a result of the principal reduction in the senior tranche, more cash is available for future payments to the Bancorp’s tranche.  Consistent with the Investments – Debt and Equity Securities Topic management considered the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest payments in determining whether a credit loss existed.  Management will not capitalize the “payment in kind” interest payments to the book value of the securities and will keep these securities in non-accrual status until the quarterly interest payments resume.
