Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp” or “NWIN”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries NWIN Risk Management, Inc. (a captive insurance subsidiary) and Peoples Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Peoples Service Corporation, NWIN, LLC, NWIN Funding, Incorporated, and Columbia Development Company, LLC. Peoples Bank (formerly known as “Peoples Bank SB”) was an Indiana-chartered stock savings bank until its conversion to an Indiana-chartered commercial bank effective May 22, 2020. The Bancorp’s business activities include being a holding company for the Bank as well as a holding company for NWIN Risk Management, Inc. The Bancorp’s earnings are primarily 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 consolidated 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, 2020, and December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, and consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019. The income reported for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
