PART I

Item 1. Business

General

NorthWest Indiana Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (the “Bancorp”), was incorporated on January 31, 1994, and is the holding company for Peoples Bank SB, an Indiana savings bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bancorp. The Bancorp has no other business activity other than being the holding company for the Bank and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries.

The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and the origination of loans, mostly upon the security of single family residences and commercial real estate, as well as, construction loans and various types of consumer loans, commercial business loans and municipal loans, within its primary market area of Lake and Porter Counties, in northwest Indiana. In addition, the Bancorp's Wealth Management Group provides estate and retirement planning, guardianships, land trusts, profit sharing and 401(k) retirement plans, IRA and Keogh accounts, investment agency accounts, and serves as the personal representative of estates and acts as trustee for revocable and irrevocable trusts.

The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), an agency of the federal government. As the holding company for the Bank, the Bancorp is subject to comprehensive examination, supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), while the Bank is subject to comprehensive examination, supervision and regulation by both the FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”). The Bank is also subject to regulation by the FRB governing reserves required to be maintained against certain deposits and other matters. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Indianapolis, which is one of the twelve regional banks comprising the system of Federal Home Loan Banks.

The Bancorp maintains its corporate office at 9204 Columbia Avenue, Munster, Indiana, from which it oversees the operation of its eleven branch locations. For further information, see “Properties.”

Recent Developments

The Current Economic Environment. We are operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment, including generally uncertain national conditions and local conditions in our markets. The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than 24 months. The risks associated with our business become more acute in periods of a slowing economy or slow growth. Financial institutions continue to be affected by sharp declines in the real estate market and constrained financial markets. While we are taking steps to decrease and limit our exposure to problem loans, we nonetheless retain direct exposure to the residential and commercial real estate markets, and we are affected by these events.

Our loan portfolio includes residential mortgage loans, construction loans, and commercial real estate loans. Continued declines in real estate values, home sales volumes and financial stress on borrowers as a result of the uncertain economic environment, including job losses, could have an adverse effect on our borrowers or their customers, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the current level of low economic growth on a national scale, the occurrence of another national recession, or further deterioration in local economic conditions in our markets could drive losses beyond that which is provided for in our allowance for loan losses and result in the following other consequences: increases in loan delinquencies; problem assets and foreclosures may increase; demand for our products and services may decline; deposits may decrease, which would adversely impact our liquidity position; and collateral for our loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, in turn reducing customers’ borrowing power, and reducing the value of assets and collateral associated with our existing loans.

Impact of Recent and Future Legislation. Congress and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) have recently adopted legislation and taken actions to address the disruptions in the financial system and declines in the housing market. They also have proposed additional legislation that could materially affect the financial services industry, such as President Obama’s broad and complex plan for financial regulatory reform. See “Regulation and Supervisions — Recent Legislative Developments.” It is not clear at this time what impact the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, other liquidity and funding initiatives of the Treasury and other bank regulatory agencies that have been previously announced, and any additional programs that may be initiated in the future, will have on the financial markets and the financial services industry. The actual impact that EESA and such related measures undertaken to alleviate the credit crisis will have generally on the financial markets, including the levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced, is unknown. The failure of such measures to help stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, access to credit or the trading price of our common stock. Finally, there can be no assurance regarding the specific impact that such measures may have on us, or whether (or to what extent) we will be able to benefit from such programs. In addition to the legislation mentioned above, federal and state governments could pass additional legislation responsive to current credit conditions. For example, the Bancorp could experience higher credit losses because of federal or state legislation or regulatory action that reduces the amount the Bancorp’s borrowers are otherwise contractually required to pay under existing loan contracts. Also, the Bancorp could experience higher credit losses because of federal or state legislation or regulatory action that limits its ability to foreclose on property or other collateral or makes foreclosure less economically feasible.

Difficult Market Conditions Have Adversely Affected Our Industry. We are particularly exposed to downturns in the U.S. housing market. Dramatic declines in the housing market over the past two years, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures, unemployment and under-employment, have negatively impacted the credit performance of mortgage loans and securities and resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities, major commercial and investment banks, and regional financial institutions. Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced or ceased providing funding to borrowers, including to other financial institutions. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and widespread reduction of business activity generally. We do not expect that the difficult conditions in the financial markets are likely to improve in the near future. A worsening of these conditions would likely exacerbate the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions on us and others in the financial institutions industry. In particular, we may face the following risks in connection with these events:

We expect to face increased regulation of our industry. Compliance with such regulation may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities.

Our ability to assess the creditworthiness of our customers may be impaired if the models and approaches we use to select, manage and underwrite our customers become less predictive of future behaviors.

The process we use to estimate losses inherent in our credit exposure requires difficult, subjective and complex judgments, including forecasts of economic conditions and how these economic predictions might impair the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans, which may no longer be capable of accurate estimation which may, in turn, impact the reliability of the process.

Our ability to borrow from other financial institutions on favorable terms or at all could be adversely affected by further disruptions in the capital markets or other events, including actions by rating agencies and deteriorating investor expectations.

Competition in our industry could intensify as a result of the increasing consolidation of financial services companies in connection with current market conditions.

We may be required to pay significantly higher deposit insurance premiums because market developments have significantly depleted the insurance fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank has been injecting vast amounts of liquidity into the banking system to compensate for weaknesses in short-term borrowing markets and other capital markets. A reduction in the Federal Reserve’s activities or capacity could reduce liquidity in the markets, thereby increasing funding costs to the Bancorp or reducing the availability of funds to the Bancorp to finance its existing operations.

Concentrations of Real Estate Loans Could Subject the Bancorp to Increased Risks in the Event of a Protracted Real Estate Recession. A significant portion of the Bancorp’s loan portfolio is secured by real estate. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. A further weakening of the real estate market area could result in an increase in the number of borrowers who default on their loans and a reduction in the value of the collateral securing their loans, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our profitability and asset quality. If we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debt during a period of reduced real estate values, our earnings and capital could be adversely affected.

Forward-Looking Statements

The words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions are also intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. The Bancorp cautions readers that forward-looking statements, including without limitation those relating to the Bancorp’s future business prospects, interest income and expense, net income, liquidity, and capital needs are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth above in “Recent Developments” and below in “Regulation and Supervision – Federal Home Loan Bank System” and “– Federal Deposit Insurance” of this Form 10-K.

Lending Activities

General. The Bancorp’s product offerings include residential mortgage loans, construction loans, commercial real estate loans, consumer loans, commercial business loans and loans to municipalities. The Bancorp’s lending strategy stresses quality growth, product diversification and, competitive and profitable pricing. While lending efforts include both fixed and adjustable rate products, the focus has been on products with adjustable rates and/or shorter terms to maturity. It is management’s goal that all programs are marketed effectively to our primary market area.

The Bancorp is primarily a portfolio lender. Mortgage banking activities are limited to the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities generally exceeding fifteen years and greater. 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. All loan sales are made to Freddie Mac. All loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value.

Under Indiana Law, an Indiana stock savings bank generally may not make any loan to a borrower or its related entities if the total of all such loans by the savings bank exceeds 15% of its unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus (plus up to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, in the case of loans fully collateralized by readily marketable collateral); provided, however, that certain specified types of loans are exempted from these limitations or subject to different limitations. The maximum amount that the Bank could have loaned to one borrower and the borrower’s related entities at December 31, 2009, under the 15% of capital and surplus limitation was approximately $8,749,000. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had no loans that exceeded the regulatory limitations.

At December 31, 2009, there were no concentrations of loans in any type of industry that exceeded 10% of total loans that were not otherwise disclosed as a loan category.

Loan Maturity Schedule. The following table sets forth certain information at December 31, 2009 regarding the dollar amount of loans in the Bancorp’s portfolio based on their contractual terms to maturity. Demand loans, loans having no schedule of repayments and no stated maturity, and overdrafts are reported as due in one year or less. Contractual principal repayments of loans do not necessarily reflect the actual term of the loan portfolio. The average life of mortgage loans is substantially less than their contractual terms because of loan prepayments and because of enforcement of due-on-sale clauses, which give the Bancorp the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the property subject to the mortgage. The amounts are stated in thousands (000’s).

	Maturing		After one

Lending Area. The primary lending area of the Bancorp encompasses all of Lake and Porter Counties in northwest Indiana, where a majority of loan activity is concentrated. To a lesser extent, the Bancorp also has lending activity in LaPorte, Newton and Jasper counties in Indiana, and Lake, Cook and Will counties in Illinois. The communities of Munster, Crown Point, Dyer, St. John, Merrillville, Schererville and Cedar Lake have experienced consistent growth and, therefore, have provided the greatest lending opportunities.

Loan Origination Fees. All loan origination and commitment fees, as well as incremental direct loan origination costs, are deferred and amortized into income as yield adjustments over the contractual lives of the related loans.

Loan Origination Procedure. The primary sources for loan originations are referrals from commercial customers, real estate brokers and builders, solicitations by the Bancorp’s lending and retail staff, and advertising of loan programs and rates. The Bancorp employs no staff appraisers. All appraisals are performed by fee appraisers that have been approved by the Board of Directors and who meet all federal guidelines and state licensing and certification requirements.

Designated officers have authorities, established by the Board of Directors, to approve loans. Loans up to $2,000,000 are approved by the loan officers loan committee. Loans from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 are approved by the senior officers loan committee. All loans in excess of $3,000,000, up to the legal lending limit of the Bank, must be approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors or its Executive Committee. (All members of the Bank’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee are also members of the Bancorp’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee, respectively.) The maximum in-house legal lending limit as set by the Board of Directors is $5,000,000. Requests that exceed this amount will be considered on a case-by-case basis, after taking into consideration the legal lending limit, by specific Board action. Peoples Bank will not extend credit to any of its executive officers, directors, or principal shareholders or to any related interest of that person, except in compliance with the insider lending restrictions of Regulation O under the Federal Reserve Act and in an amount that, when aggregated with all other extensions of credit to that person, exceeds $500,000 unless: (1) the extension of credit has been approved in advance by a majority of the entire Board of Directors of the Bank, and (2) the interested party has abstained from participating directly or indirectly in the voting.

All loans secured by personal property must be covered by insurance in an amount sufficient to cover the full amount of the loan. All loans secured by real estate must be covered by insurance in an amount sufficient to cover the full amount of the loan or restore the property to its original state. First mortgage loans must be covered by a lenders title insurance policy in the amount of the loan.

The Current Lending Programs

Residential Mortgage Loans. The primary lending activity of the Bancorp has been the granting of conventional mortgage loans to enable borrowers to purchase existing homes, refinance existing homes, or construct new homes. Conventional loans are made up to a maximum of 100% of the purchase price or appraised value, whichever is less. For loans made in excess of 80% of value, private mortgage insurance is generally required in an amount sufficient to reduce the Bancorp’s exposure to 80% or less of the appraised value of the property. Loans insured by private mortgage insurance companies can be made for up to 95% of value. During 2009, over 90% of mortgage loans closed were conventional loans with borrowers having 20% or more equity in the property. This type of loan does not require private mortgage insurance because of the borrower’s level of equity investment.

Fixed-rate loans currently originated generally conform to Freddie Mac guidelines for loans purchased under the one-to-four family program. Loan interest rates are determined based on secondary market yield requirements and local market conditions. Fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities generally exceeding fifteen years and greater may be sold and/or classified as held for sale to control exposure to interest rate risk.

The 15-year mortgage loan program has gained wide acceptance in the Bancorp’s primary market area. As a result of the shortened maturity of these loans, this product has been priced below the comparable 20 and 30 year loan offerings. Mortgage applicants for 15 year loans tend to have a larger than normal down payment; this, coupled with the larger principal and interest payment amount, has caused the 15 year mortgage loan portfolio to consist, to a significant extent, of second time home buyers whose underwriting qualifications tend to be above average.

The Bancorp’s Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loans (“ARMs”) include offerings that reprice annually or are “Mini-Fixed.” The “Mini-Fixed” mortgage reprices annually after a one, three, five or seven year period. ARM originations totaled $9.6 million for 2009 and $21.9 million for 2008. During 2009, ARMs represented 16.1% of total mortgage loan originations. The ability of the Bancorp to successfully market ARM’s depends upon loan demand, prevailing interest rates, volatility of interest rates, public acceptance of such loans and terms offered by competitors.

Construction Loans. Construction loans on residential properties are made primarily to individuals and contractors who are under contract with individual purchasers. These loans are personally guaranteed by the borrower. The maximum loan-to-value ratio is 80% of either the current appraised value or the cost of construction, whichever is less. Residential construction loans are typically made for periods of six months to one year.

Loans are also made for the construction of commercial properties. All such loans are made in accordance with well-defined underwriting standards. Generally if the loans are not owner occupied, these types of loans require proof of intent to lease and a confirmed end-loan takeout. In general, loans made do not exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property. Commercial construction loans are typically made for periods not to exceed two years or date of occupancy, whichever is less.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans are typically made to a maximum of 80% of the appraised value. Such loans are generally made on an adjustable rate basis. These loans are typically made for terms of 15 to 20 years. Loans with an amortizing term exceeding 15 years normally have a balloon feature calling for a full repayment within seven to ten years from the date of the loan. The balloon feature affords the Bancorp the opportunity to restructure the loan if economic conditions so warrant. Commercial real estate loans include loans secured by commercial rental units, apartments, condominium developments, small shopping centers, owner occupied commercial/industrial properties, hospitality units and other retail and commercial developments.

While commercial real estate lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than single-family residential lending due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and the effects of general economic conditions on real estate developers and managers, the Bancorp has endeavored to reduce this risk in several ways. In originating commercial real estate loans, the Bancorp considers the feasibility of the project, the financial strength of the borrowers and lessees, the managerial ability of the borrowers, the location of the project and the economic environment. Management evaluates the debt coverage ratio and analyzes the reliability of cash flows, as well as the quality of earnings. All such loans are made in accordance with well-defined underwriting standards and are generally supported by personal guarantees, which represent a secondary source of repayment.

Loans for the construction of commercial properties are generally located within an area permitting physical inspection and regular review of business records. Projects financed outside of the Bancorp’s primary lending area generally involve borrowers and guarantors who are or were previous customers of the Bancorp or projects that are underwritten according to the Bank’s underwriting standards.

Consumer Loans. The Bancorp offers consumer loans to individuals for personal, household or family purposes. Consumer loans are either secured by adequate collateral, or unsecured. Unsecured loans are based on the strength of the applicant’s financial condition. All borrowers must meet current underwriting standards. The consumer loan program includes both fixed and variable rate products. The Bancorp purchases indirect dealer paper from various well-established businesses in its immediate banking area.

Home Equity Line of Credit. The Bancorp offers a fixed and variable rate revolving line of credit secured by the equity in the borrower’s home. Both products offer an interest only option where the borrower pays interest only on the outstanding balance each month. Equity lines will typically require a second mortgage appraisal and a second mortgage lender’s title insurance policy. Loans are generally made up to a maximum of 80% of the appraised value of the property less any outstanding liens.

Home Improvement Loans and Equity Loans—Fixed Term. Home improvement and equity loans are made up to a maximum of 80% of the appraised value of the improved property, less any outstanding liens. These loans are offered on both a fixed and variable rate basis with a maximum term of 120 months. All home equity loans are made on a direct basis to borrowers.

Commercial Business Loans. Although the Bancorp’s priority in extending various types of commercial business loans changes from time to time, the basic considerations in determining the makeup of the commercial business loan portfolio are economic factors, regulatory requirements and money market conditions. The Bancorp seeks commercial loan relationships from the local business community and from its present customers. Conservative lending policies based upon sound credit analysis governs the extension of commercial credit. The following loans, although not inclusive, are considered preferable for the Bancorp’s commercial loan portfolio: loans collateralized by liquid assets; loans secured by general use machinery and equipment; secured short-term working capital loans to established businesses secured by business assets; short-term loans with established sources of repayment and secured by sufficient equity and real estate; and unsecured loans to customers whose character and capacity to repay are firmly established.

Government Loans. The Bancorp is permitted to purchase non-rated municipal securities, tax anticipation notes and warrants within the local market area.

Non-Performing Assets, Asset Classification and Provision for Loan Losses

Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are generally placed on a non-accrual status when, in the opinion of management, serious doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due. Consumer non-residential loans are generally charged off when the loan becomes over 120 days delinquent. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance, tax and insurance reserve or recorded as interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan.

The Bancorp’s mortgage loan collection procedures provide that, when a mortgage loan is 15 days or more delinquent, the borrower will be contacted by mail and payment requested. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts will be made to contact the delinquent borrower. In certain instances, the Bancorp will recast the loan or grant a limited moratorium on loan payments to enable the borrower to reorganize his, her or its financial affairs. If the loan continues in a delinquent status for 60 days, the Bancorp will generally initiate foreclosure proceedings. Any property acquired as the result of foreclosure or by voluntary transfer of property made to avoid foreclosure is classified as foreclosed real estate until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Bancorp. Foreclosed real estate is recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure. At foreclosure, any write-down of the property is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Costs relating to improvement of property are capitalized, whereas holding costs are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and a valuation allowance is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value less selling costs. Subsequent gains or losses on disposition, including expenses incurred in connection with the disposition, are charged to operations. Collection procedures for consumer loans provide that when a consumer loan becomes ten days delinquent, the borrower will be contacted by mail and payment requested. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts will be made to contact the delinquent borrower. In certain instances, the Bancorp may grant a payment deferral. If a loan continues delinquent after 90 days and all collection efforts have been exhausted, the Bancorp will initiate legal proceedings. Collection procedures for commercial business loans provide that when a commercial loan becomes ten days delinquent, the borrower will be contacted by mail and payment requested. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts will be made to contact the delinquent borrower pursuant to the commercial loan collection policy. In certain instances, the Bancorp may grant a payment deferral or restructure the loan. Once it has been determined that collection efforts are unsuccessful, the Bancorp will initiate legal proceedings.

The table that follows sets forth information with respect to the Bancorp’s non-performing assets at December 31, for the periods indicated. During 2009, the Bancorp classified three loans totaling $7.2 million as troubled debt restructurings, which involves foregoing a portion of interest or principal on any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than market rates or terms. The troubled debt restructurings are comprised of one construction development participation hotel loan in the amount of $1.6 million, for which a significant deferral of principal repayment was granted. The second troubled debt restructuring is for a commercial real estate participation hotel loan in the amount of $5.0 million, for which a significant deferral of principal repayment and extension in maturity was granted. The third troubled debt restructuring, which is currently in bankruptcy proceedings is for a commercial real estate loan in the amount of $588 thousand, for which a significant deferral of principal repayment was granted. The three loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are currently in nonaccrual status and classified as impaired. The valuation basis for the three troubled debt restructurings is based on the fair value of the collateral securing these loans.

The amounts are stated in thousands (000’s).

During 2009, gross interest income of $1,067,000 would have been recorded on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis if the loans had been current throughout the period. Interest on such loans included in income during the period amounted to $509,000.

Federal regulations require savings banks to classify their own loans and to establish appropriate general and specific allowances, subject to regulatory review. These regulations are designed to encourage management to evaluate loans on a case-by-case basis and to discourage automatic classifications. Loans classified as substandard or doubtful must be evaluated by management to determine loan loss reserves. Loans classified as loss must either be written off or reserved for by a specific allowance. Amounts reported in the general loan loss reserve are included in the calculation of the Bancorp’s total risk-based capital requirement (to the extent that the amount does not exceed 1.25% of total risk-based assets), but are not included in Tier 1 leverage ratio calculations and Tier 1 risk-based capital requirements. Amounts reserved for by a specific allowance are not counted toward capital for purposes of any of the regulatory capital requirements. Loans internally classified as substandard totaled $22.7 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $11.4 million at December 31, 2008. No loans are internally classified as doubtful oat December 31, 2009, compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2008. No loans were classified as loss at either December 31, 2009 or 2008. 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 closely monitoring due to one or more factors that may cause the loan to become classified. Watch loans totaled $26.7 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $22.7 million at December 31, 2008. The increase in watch loans for 2009 is a result of the addition of two commercial real estate borrowers with loan balances of $7.8 million, and one land development borrower with loan balances of $2.0 million.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a borrower will be unable to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. At December 31, 2009, impaired loans totaled $17.0 million, compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2008. The December 31, 2009, impaired loan balances consist of twenty commercial real estate and commercial business loans that are secured by business assets and real estate, and are personally guaranteed by the owners of the businesses. The December 31, 2009 ALL contained $1.2 million in specific allowances for collateral deficiencies, compared to $1.7 million in specific allowances at December 31, 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2009, two additional commercial business loans totaling $2.8 million were classified as impaired and two additional commercial real estate loans totaling $241 thousand were classified as impaired. Management’s current estimate indicates there are no collateral deficiencies for these loans. During the third quarter of 2009, the Bancorp’s Ann Arbor, Michigan commercial real estate participation loan in the amount was $3.8 million was transferred to foreclosed real estate and removed from impaired status. Prior to foreclosure, the lead lender for this commercial real estate participation loan provided management with an updated appraisal that indicated a further decline in market value. As a result, a charge-off of $1.9 million was recorded during September and the remaining loan balance of $1.9 million transferred to foreclosed real estate. For the Ann Arbor commercial real estate participation loan, during the first quarter of 2008, management filed a lawsuit against the lead lender to actively pursue potential material violations of the participation agreement and the underlying loan documentation. Management and its legal counsel will continue to actively pursue the claims asserted within the lawsuit. As of December 31, 2009, all loans classified as impaired were also included in the previously discussed substandard loan balances. There were no other loans considered to be impaired for the year ended, December 31, 2009. Typically, management does not individually classify smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as mortgage or consumer, as impaired.

At December 31, 2009, 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 December 31, 2009, no other interest bearing assets were required to be disclosed as non-accrual, past due or restructured. Management does not presently anticipate that any of the non-performing loans or classified loans would materially impact future operations, liquidity or capital resources.

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. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The Bancorp has a $1.1 million participation in a $6.4 million letter of credit, which acts as payment support to bondholders. The letter of credit is secured by a cash collateral account in the amount of $2.2 million and a collateralized guarantee in the amount of $1.0 million. For the past two years, the cash flows from the security collateralizing the letter of credit have been negatively impacted as the property was vacant. Currently, the letter of credit participants have secured a signed lease from a new tenant that opened for operations during May 2009. The signing of the lease resolved one of the defaults that existed under the letter of credit document. The bank group is currently in negotiations with the borrower to arrive at a resolution to the remaining items of default. Management will continue to monitor the letter of credit, bond repayments and the operating results of the new tenant.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, $8.5 million in provisions to the ALL account were required, compared to $2.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The increase in the 2009 ALL provision was related to the need for additional specific allowances for the collateral deficiencies and subsequent charge-offs for the previously mentioned commercial real estate participation loans. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $8.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $1.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The ALL provisions take into consideration management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio, loan portfolio balances, changes in the portfolio mix and local economic conditions. In determining the provision for loan losses for the current period, management has given consideration to increased risks associated with in the local economy, changes in loan balances and mix, and asset quality.

The ALL to total loans was 1.33% at December 31, 2009, compared to 1.19% at December 31, 2008. The ALL to non-performing loans (coverage ratio) was 32.9% at December 31, 2009, compared to 47.0% at December 31, 2008. The December 31, 2009 balance in the ALL account of $6.1 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 reserves to both performing and non-performing loans based on current information available.

The table that follows sets forth the allowance for loan losses and related ratios for the periods indicated. There were no charge-offs or recoveries of real estate construction loans during the periods presented. The amounts are stated in thousands (000’s).

Investment Activities

The primary objective of the 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. Securities are classified as either held-to-maturity (HTM) or available-for-sale (AFS) at the time of purchase. No securities are classified as trading. At December 31, 2009, AFS securities totaled $124.8 million or 86.5% of total securities. AFS securities are those the Bancorp may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management or other reasons. During 2009, the Bancorp did not have derivative instruments and was not involved in hedging activities as defined by Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging. It has been the policy of the Bancorp to invest its excess cash in U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and municipal securities. In addition, short-term funds are generally invested as interest-bearing balances in financial institutions and federal funds. At December 31, 2009, the Bancorp’s investment portfolio totaled $144.3 million. In addition, the Bancorp had $4.1 million federal funds sold, and $3.7 million in FHLB stock.

During 2009, the Bancorp’s management was notified that the quarterly interest payments for three of its four investments in trust preferred securities have been placed in “payment in kind” status. Payment in kind status results in a temporary delay in the payment of interest. As a result of a delay in the collection of the interest payments, management placed these securities in non-accrual status. At December 31, 2009, the cost basis of the three trust preferred securities in non-accrual status totaled $4.2 million. Current estimates indicate that the interest payment delays may exceed ten years. One trust preferred security with a cost basis of $1.3 million remains in accrual status.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits are the major source of the Bancorp’s funds for lending and other investment purposes. In addition to deposits, the Bancorp derives funds from maturing investment securities and certificates of deposit, dividend receipts from the investment portfolio, loan principal repayments, repurchase agreements, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLB) and other borrowings. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of other sources of funds. They may also be used on a longer-term basis for general business purposes. The Bancorp uses repurchase agreements, as well as, a line-of-credit and advances from the FHLB for borrowings. At December 31, 2009, the Bancorp had $15.9 million in repurchase agreements. Other borrowings totaled $47.1 million, of which $38.0 million represents FHLB advances.

Deposits. Retail and commercial deposits are attracted principally from within the Bancorp’s primary market area. The Bancorp offers a broad selection of deposit instruments including checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificate accounts and retirement savings plans. Deposit accounts vary as to terms, with the principal differences being the minimum balance required, the time period the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. Certificate accounts currently range in maturity from ten days to 42 months. The deregulation of federal controls on insured deposits has allowed the Bancorp to be more competitive in obtaining funds and to be flexible in meeting the threat of net deposit outflows. The Bancorp does not obtain funds through brokers.

The following table presents the average daily amount of deposits bearing interest and average rates paid on such deposits for the years indicated. The amounts are stated in thousands (000’s).

Borrowings. Borrowed money is used on a short-term basis 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. Repurchase agreements generally mature within one year and are generally secured by U.S. government securities or U.S. agency securities, under the Bancorp’s control. FHLB advances with maturities ranging from one year to five 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. Fixed rate advances are payable at maturity, with a prepayment penalty. Putable advances are fixed for a period of one to five years and then may adjust annually to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) until maturity. Once the putable advance interest rate adjusts, the Bancorp has the option to prepay the advance on specified annual interest rate reset dates without prepayment penalty.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of the Bancorp for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by old rate) and (2) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by old volume). Changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate. The amounts are stated in thousands (000's).

Bank Subsidiary Activities

Peoples Service Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank was incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana. The subsidiary currently provides insurance and annuity investments to the Bank’s wealth management customers. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had an investment balance of $130 thousand in Peoples Service Corporation.

NWIN, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. NWIN, LLC was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as an investment subsidiary. The investment subsidiary currently holds Bank security investments, which are managed by a professional portfolio manager. In addition, the investment subsidiary is the parent of a real estate investment trust, NWIN Funding, Inc., that invests in real estate loans originated by the Bank. At December 31, 2009, the Bank had an investment balance of $211.2 million in NWIN, LLC. The investment balance represents a decrease of $4.9 million, as a result of return of capital to the Bank during 2009.

NWIN Funding, Inc. is a subsidiary of NWIN, LLC, and was formed as an Indiana Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). The formation of NWIN Funding, Inc. provides the Bancorp with a vehicle that may be used to raise capital utilizing portfolio mortgages as collateral, without diluting stock ownership. In addition, NWIN Funding, Inc. will receive favorable state tax treatment for income generated by its operations. At December 31, 2009, the REIT held assets of $64.8 million in real estate loans.

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bancorp include the assets, liabilities, net worth and results of operations of the Bank and its subsidiaries. Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Competition

The Bancorp’s primary market area for deposits, loans and financial services encompasses Lake and Porter Counties, in northwest Indiana, where all of its offices are located. Ninety-five percent of the Bancorp’s business activities are within this area.

The Bancorp faces strong competition in its primary market area for the attraction and retention of deposits and in the origination of loans. The Bancorp’s most direct competition for deposits has historically come from commercial banks, savings associations and credit unions located in its primary market area. Particularly in times of high interest rates, the Bancorp has had significant competition from mutual funds and other firms offering financial services. The Bancorp’s competition for loans comes principally from savings associations, commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, insurance companies and other institutional lenders.

The Bancorp competes for loans principally through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and the efficiency and quality of the services it provides borrowers and other third-party sources . It competes for deposits by offering depositors a wide variety of savings accounts, checking accounts, competitive interest rates, convenient banking center locations, drive-up facilities, automatic teller machines, tax-deferred retirement programs, electronic banking and other miscellaneous services.

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

Personnel

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had 158 full-time and 33 part-time employees. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining agreement. Management believes its employee relations are good. The Bancorp has five officers (listed below under Item 4.5 “Executive Officers of the Bancorp”), but has no other employees. The Bancorp’s officers also are full-time employees of the Bank, and are compensated by the Bank.

Regulation and Supervision

Bank Holding Company Regulation. As a registered bank holding company for the Bank, the Bancorp is subject to the regulation and supervision of the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). Bank holding companies are required to file periodic reports with and are subject to periodic examination by the FRB.

Under the BHCA, without the prior approval of the FRB, the Bancorp may not acquire direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any company, including a bank, and may not merge or consolidate with another bank holding company. In addition, the Bancorp is generally prohibited by the BHCA from engaging in any nonbanking business unless such business is determined by the FRB to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. Under the BHCA, the FRB has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the FRB's determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.

Under FRB policy, a bank holding company is expected to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. It is the policy of the FRB that, pursuant to this requirement, a bank holding company should stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. This support may be required by the FRB at times when the Bancorp may not have the resources to provide it or, for other reasons, would not be inclined to provide it. Additionally, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is required to provide limited guarantee of the compliance by any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become "undercapitalized" (as defined in the statute) with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal banking agency.

Savings Bank Regulation. As an Indiana stock savings bank, the Bank is subject to federal regulation and supervision by the FDIC and to state regulation and supervision by the DFI. The Bank's deposit accounts are insured by DIF, which is administered by the FDIC. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.

Both federal and Indiana law extensively regulate various aspects of the banking business such as reserve requirements, truth-in-lending and truth-in-savings disclosures, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting, trading in securities and other aspects of banking operations. Current federal law also requires savings banks, among other things, to make deposited funds available within specified time periods.

Under FDICIA, insured state chartered banks are prohibited from engaging as principal in activities that are not permitted for national banks, unless: (i) the FDIC determines that the activity would pose no significant risk to the appropriate deposit insurance fund, and (ii) the bank is, and continues to be, in compliance with all applicable capital standards.

Branches and Affiliates. The establishment of branches by the Bancorp is subject to approval of the DFI and FDIC and geographic limits established by state laws. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Riegle-Neal Act") facilitates the interstate expansion and consolidation of banking organizations by permitting, among other things,(i) bank holding companies that are adequately capitalized and managed to acquire banks located in states outside their home state regardless of whether such acquisitions are authorized under the law of the host state, (ii) the interstate merger of banks, subject to the right of individual states to “opt out” of this authority, and (iii) banks to establish new branches on an interstate basis provided that such action is specifically authorized by the law of the host state.

Transactions with Affiliates. Under Indiana law, the Bank is subject to Sections 22(h), 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which restrict financial transactions between banks and affiliated companies, such as the Bancorp. The statute limits credit transactions between a bank and its executive officers and its affiliates, prescribes terms and conditions for bank affiliate transactions deemed to be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, and restricts the types of collateral security permitted in connection with a bank's extension of credit to an affiliate.

Capital Requirements. The FRB and the FDIC have issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines that are applicable to the Bancorp and the Bank. These guidelines require a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total required capital must be "Tier 1 capital," consisting principally of common stockholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less certain goodwill items. The remainder ("Tier 2 capital") may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses.

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Bancorp and the Bank are subject to a Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio which requires a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to adjusted average assets of 3% in the case of financial institutions that have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating significant growth or expansion. All other institutions are expected to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum.

FDICIA requires, among other things, federal bank regulatory authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements. The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA, which, among other things, define the relevant capital measures for five capital categories. An institution is deemed to be "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and is not subject to a regulatory order, agreement or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.

The following table shows that, at December 31, 2009, the Bancorp’s capital exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. At December 31, 2009, the Bancorp’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios were substantially the same. At December 31, 2009, the Bancorp and the Bank were categorized as well capitalized. The dollar amounts are stated in millions.

						Required for					To be well
	Actual					adequate capital					capitalized
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio
Total capital to risk weighted assets	$	58.7		11.5	%	$	40.8		8.0	%	$	51.0		10.0	%
Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets	$	52.6		10.3	%	$	20.4		4.0	%	$	30.6		6.0	%
Tier 1 capital to adjusted average assets	$	52.6		7.8	%	$	20.1		3.0	%	$	33.5		5.0	%

Banking regulators may change these requirements from time to time, depending on the economic outlook generally and the outlook for the banking industry. The Bancorp is unable to predict whether and when higher capital requirements would be imposed and, if so, to what levels and on what schedule.

Dividend Limitations. The Bancorp is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The primary source of the Bancorp’s cash flow, including cash flow to pay dividends on the Bancorp’s Common Stock, is the payment of dividends to the Bancorp by the Bank. 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 DFI 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. Also, the FDIC has the authority to prohibit the Bank from paying dividends if, in its opinion, 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 that may be declared by the Bank in 2010, without prior regulatory approval, approximates $1,775,000 plus current 2010 net profits. In addition, under FRB supervisory policy, a bank holding company generally should not maintain its existing rate of cash dividends on common shares unless (i) the organization's net income available to common shareholders over the past year has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends and (ii) the prospective rate of earnings retention appears consistent with the organization's capital needs, assets, quality, and overall financial condition.

Federal Deposit Insurance. The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of federally insured banks and savings associations and safeguards the safety and soundness of the banking and savings industries. Due to the recent difficult economic conditions, deposit insurance per depositor has been raised to $250,000 for all types of accounts until December 31, 2013. The FDIC administers the DIF, which generally insures commercial bank, savings association and state savings bank deposits. The DIF was created as a result of the merger of the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”), pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “Reform Act”). The Bank is a member of the DIF and its deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC up to prescribed limits.

The FDIC is authorized to establish annual deposit insurance assessment rates for members of the DIF, and to increase assessment rates if it determines such increases are appropriate to maintain the reserves of the insurance fund. In addition, the FDIC is authorized to levy emergency special assessments on DIF members. A significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank, and management cannot predict what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.

Pursuant to the final regulations adopted under the Reform Act, the FDIC’s deposit insurance premiums are now assessed through a risk-based system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of four categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their level of capital and risk profile. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is assigned. The Bank paid deposit insurance assessments of $708 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2009. For 2009, the deposit insurance assessment rate before applying one time credits was approximately 0.131% of insured deposits. No institution may pay a dividend if it is in default of the federal deposit insurance assessment. Future increases in deposit insurance premiums or changes in risk classification would increase the Bank’s deposit related costs.

The FDIC is authorized to set the reserve ratio for the DIF at between 1.15% and 1.5% of estimated insured deposits. The designated reserve ratio is currently 1.25% and as a result of the deterioration in banking and economic conditions and recent failures of banks, the reserve ratio was 0.22% as of June 30, 2009. The FDIC expects a higher ratio of insured institution failures in the next few years, which may result in a continued decline in the reserve ratio. The FDIC has seven years to attain a reserve ratio of 1.15%. In addition, during 2009 the FDIC adopted an interim rule that imposed a special assessment of 20 basis points as of June 30, 2009, which was collected on September 30, 2009. The FDIC’s interim rule also provides for the imposition of additional special assessments of up to 10 basis points if necessary. Under the new assessment system, banks in the best risk category will pay from 12 cents to 16 cents per $100 of insured deposits on an annual basis. The special assessment for the Bank paid on September 30, 2009 was $306 thousand. On December 30, 2009, banks also were required to pay the third quarter FDIC assessment and to prepay estimated insurance assessments for the years 2010 through 2012 on that date. The Bank paid an aggregate of $3.7 million in premiums on December 30, 2009, $3.5 million of which constituted prepaid premiums.

In addition, all institutions with deposits insured by the FDIC are required to pay assessments to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, an agency of the Federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the SAIF. The Bank paid interest payment assessments of $57 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2009. The interest payment assessment rate for 2009 was approximately 0.010% of insured deposits. These assessments will continue until the Financing Corporation bonds mature in 2017.

Due to the anticipated continued failures of unaffiliated FDIC-insured depository institutions and the increased premiums noted above, we anticipate that our FDIC deposit insurance premiums could increase significantly in the future, which would adversely impact our future earnings.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from funds deposited by member institutions and proceeds from the sale of consolidated obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. It makes loans to members (i.e., advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of trustees of the Federal Home Loan Bank. As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of its aggregate unpaid residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts or similar obligations at the beginning of each year or 5% of our outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. At December 31, 2009, the Bank was in compliance with this requirement.

At December 31, 2009, the Bancorp owned $3.65 million of stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) and had outstanding borrowings of approximately $38 million from the FHLBI. The FHLBI stock entitles us to dividends from the FHLBI. The Bancorp recognized dividend income of approximately $80 thousand in 2009. Due to various financial difficulties in the financial institution industry in 2008, including the write-down of various mortgage-backed securities held by the FHLBI (which lowered its regulatory capital levels), the FHLBI temporarily suspended dividends during the 1st quarter of 2009. When the dividends were finally paid, they were reduced by 75 basis points from the dividend rate paid for the previous quarter. Continued and additional financial difficulties at the FHLBI could further reduce or eliminate the dividends we receive from the FHLBI.

At December 31, 2009, the Bancorp’s excess borrowing capacity from the FHLBI was $53 million. Generally, the loan terms from the FHLBI are better than the terms the Bancorp can receive from other sources making it cheaper to borrow money from the FHLBI. Continued and additional financial difficulties at the FHLBI could reduce or eliminate our additional borrowing capacity with the FHLBI which could force us to borrow money from other sources. Such other monies may not be available when we need them or, more likely, will be available at higher interest rates and on less advantageous terms, which will impact our net income and could impact our ability to grow.

Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”), the Bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the FDIC in connection with its examination of the Bank, to assess its record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take that record into account in its evaluation of certain applications by the Bank. For example, the regulations specify that a bank’s CRA performance will be considered in its expansion (e.g., branching) proposals and may be the basis for approving, denying or conditioning the approval of an application. As of the date of its most recent regulatory examination, the Bank was rated “satisfactory” with respect to its CRA compliance.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("Gramm-Leach"), bank holding companies are permitted to offer their customers virtually any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting) and merchant banking. In order to engage in these new financial activities, a bank holding company must qualify and register with the FRB as a "financial holding company" by demonstrating that each of its bank subsidiaries is well capitalized, well managed and has at least a satisfactory rating under the CRA. The Bancorp has no current intention to elect to become a financial holding company under Gramm-Leach.

Gramm-Leach established a system of functional regulation, under which the federal banking agencies regulate the banking activities of financial holding companies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulates their securities activities and state insurance regulators regulate their insurance activities.

Under Gramm-Leach, federal banking regulators adopted rules limiting the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. The rules require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to nonaffiliated third parties. The privacy provisions of Gramm-Leach affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial services companies and conveyed to outside vendors.

The Bancorp does not disclose any nonpublic information about any current or former customers to anyone except as permitted by law and subject to contractual confidentially provisions which restrict the release and use of such information.

Recent Legislative Developments. In response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and going concern threats to investment banks and other financial institutions, on October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law creating the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”). Pursuant to the EESA, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has the authority to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities, and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.

On October 14, 2008, the Treasury also announced it would offer to qualifying U.S. banking organizations the opportunity to sell preferred stock, along with warrants to purchase common stock, to the Treasury on what may be considered attractive terms under the TARP Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”). The CPP allows financial institutions to issue non-voting preferred stock to the Treasury in an amount ranging between 1% and 3% of its total risk-weighted assets. After a careful review of the terms of participation in the CPP, along with consideration of the capital requirements applicable to the Bancorp and the Bank, both of which have remained above the “well-capitalized” regulatory guidelines, the Bancorp’s board of directors decided it was not in the best interests of the Bancorp and its shareholders to participate in the CPP.

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”). The ARRA amends, among other things, the TARP program legislation by directing the Treasury to issue regulations implementing strict limitations on compensation paid or accrued by financial institutions participating in the TARP, which regulations do not apply to the Bancorp.

The EESA and ARRA followed, and have been followed by, numerous actions by the Federal Reserve, Congress, Treasury, the SEC and others to address the current liquidity and credit crisis that has followed the sub-prime meltdown that commenced in 2007. These measures include homeowner relief that encourage loan restructuring and modification; the establishment of significant liquidity and credit facilities for financial institutions and investment banks; the lowering of the federal funds rate; emergency action against short selling practices; a temporary guaranty program for money market funds; the establishment of a commercial paper funding facility to provide back-stop liquidity to commercial paper issuers; coordinated international efforts to address illiquidity and other weaknesses in the banking sector; and legislation that would require creditors that transfer loans and securitizations of loans to maintain a material portion (generally at least 10%) of the credit risk of the loans transferred or securitized.

In addition, President Obama has proposed, and the House of Representatives and Senate are currently considering, legislation providing for broad and complex regulatory reform which would restructure the regulation of depository institutions. The House Financial Services Committee already has approved several elements of this plan, including the establishment of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (“CFPA”), which would have broad rulemaking, interpretative, supervisory, examination and enforcement authority over financial services providers such as the Bancorp. Other aspects of President Obama’s proposals range from the merger of the Office of Thrift Supervision with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates national banks, to the creation of an independent federal agency that would assume the regulatory responsibilities of the Office of Thrift Supervision, FDIC, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board. Savings and loan holding companies would become regulated as bank holding companies under certain other proposals being considered. The CFPA proposal and other aspects of the President’s plan remain controversial, and many obstacles exist to achieving the President’s goal of enacting these reforms in 2010. On October 22, 2009, the Federal Reserve issued proposed supervisory guidance designed to ensure that incentive compensation practices of banking organizations are consistent with safety and soundness. Uncertainty exists regarding the interpretation and application of this guidance, and the impact of the guidance on recruitment, retention and motivation of key officers and employees.

Various other legislation, including proposals to substantially change the financial institution regulatory system and to expand or contract the powers of banking institutions and bank holding companies, is from time to time introduced. This legislation may change banking statutes and the operating environment of the Bancorp and the Bank in substantial and unpredictable ways. If enacted, such legislation could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions and other financial institutions. The Bancorp cannot accurately predict whether any of this potential legislation will ultimately be enacted, and, if enacted, the ultimate effect that it, or implementing regulations, would have upon the financial condition or results of operations of the Bancorp or the Bank.

It is not clear at this time what impact the EESA, ARRA, CPP, TARP, other liquidity and funding initiatives of the Federal Reserve and other agencies that have been previously announced, and any additional programs that may be initiated in the future will have on the financial markets, including the extreme levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced, or on the U.S. banking and financial industries and the broader U.S. and global economies. Further adverse effects could have an adverse effect on the Bancorp and its business.

Federal Taxation

For federal income tax purposes, the Bank reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting. The Bancorp and the Bank file a consolidated federal income tax return for each fiscal year ending December 31. During 2008, the Bank’s 2006 federal income tax return was subject to an examination by the Internal Revenue Service. No improper tax positions were identified during the examination. In the last five years, the Bank’s federal income returns have not been subject to any other examination by a taxing authority.

State Taxation

The Bank is subject to Indiana’s Financial Institutions Tax (“FIT”), which is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on “adjusted gross income.” “Adjusted gross income,” for purposes of FIT, begins with taxable income as defined by Section 63 of the Code and, thus, incorporates federal tax law to the extent that it affects the computation of taxable income. Federal taxable income is then adjusted by several Indiana modifications. Other applicable state taxes include generally applicable sales and use taxes plus real and personal property taxes.

During 2007, the Bank’s state income tax returns were subject to an examination by the Indiana Department of Revenue. No improper tax positions were identified during the examination. In the last five years, the Bank’s state income returns have not been subject to any other examination by a taxing authority.

Accounting for Income Taxes

At December 31, 2009, the Bancorp’s consolidated total deferred tax assets were $4.6 million and the consolidated total deferred tax liabilities were $2.1 million, resulting in a consolidated net deferred tax asset of $2.5 million. Management believes it is probable that approximately 80% of the deferred tax asset benefit will be realized after considering the historical and anticipated future levels of pretax earnings.

Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp”) conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by the Bancorp in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments.

The Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors meets regularly with the independent registered public accounting firm, Plante & Moran PLLC, and representatives of management to review accounting, financial reporting, internal control and audit matters, as well as the nature and extent of the audit effort. The Risk Management Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors. The independent auditors have free access to the Risk Management Committee.

Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

(i)

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

The Bancorp’s management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of all information presented in this report including the financial statements contained in the Annual Report to shareholders which are incorporated by reference into Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Management believes the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions and that the financial statements fairly represent the Bancorp’s financial position and results of operations for the periods and as of the dates stated therein.

(ii)

Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the Bancorp is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Bancorp as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Bancorp; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Bancorp are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Bancorp; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Bancorp’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time.

With the participation of the Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management determined that the Bancorp’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Bancorp’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Bancorp’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Bancorp to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in the Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting in the fourth quarter of 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting.
