Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

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 SB (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Peoples Service Corporation, NWIN, LLC, NWIN Funding, Incorporated, and Columbia Development Company, LLC. 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, ~~(loss),~~and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017. The income reported for the ~~three~~nine month period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 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 foreclosed real estate, loan servicing rights, investment securities, deferred tax assets, goodwill, and the status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term.

Note 3 - Acquisition Activity

On ~~February 20,~~July 26, 2018, the Bancorp ~~entered into an Agreement and Plan~~completed its previously announced acquisition of ~~Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with~~ First Personal Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation (“First Personal”). pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 20, 2018 (the “First Personal Merger Agreement”) between NWIN and First Personal. Pursuant to the terms of the First Personal Merger Agreement, First Personal ~~will merge~~merged with and into ~~the Bancorp,~~NWIN, with ~~the Bancorp~~NWIN as the surviving corporation (the ~~“Merger”~~“First Personal Merger”). AtSimultaneous with the ~~time of the~~First Personal Merger, First Personal Bank, an Illinois state chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of First Personal, ~~(“First Personal Bank”), will merge~~merged with and into Peoples Bank SB ~~the wholly-owned Indiana state chartered savings bank subsidiary of the Bancorp~~ (“Peoples Bank”), with Peoples Bank as the surviving bank.

~~The boards of directors of~~In connection with the ~~Bancorp and~~ First Personal have approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement. Subject to the approval of the Merger by First Personal’s stockholders, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions, the parties anticipate completing the Merger in the third quarter of 2018.

~~Upon completion of the~~ Merger, each First Personal stockholder ~~will have the right to receive~~holding 100 or more shares of First Personal common stock received fixed consideration of (i) 0.1246 shares of ~~Bancorp~~NWIN common stock, and (ii) $6.67 per share in cash for each outstanding share of First Personal’s common stock. Stockholders holding less than 100 shares of First Personal common stock ~~will have the right to receive~~received $12.12 in cash and no stock consideration for each outstanding share of First Personal common stock. Any fractional shares of NWIN common stock that a First Personal stockholder would have otherwise received in the First Personal Merger were cashed out in the amount of such fraction multiplied by $42.95.

NWIN issued a total of 161,875 shares of NWIN common stock to the former First Personal stockholders, and paid cash consideration of approximately $8.7 million. Based onupon the ~~Bancorp’s~~ closing ~~stock~~ price of ~~$42.80 as of February 20,~~NWIN common stock on July 25, 2018, the transaction ~~has~~had an implied valuation of approximately ~~$15.60~~$15.6 million.

~~Subject~~As of the closing date of the First Personal Merger, First Personal reported total assets of $138.9 million, total loans of $98.0 million, and total deposits of $125.1 million. Additionally, upon the closing of the merger the three former First Personal Bank branches in Cook County, Illinois became branches of Peoples Bank, thereby expanding the Peoples Bank branch network into Illinois.

Consideration paid for the First Personal acquisition included $8.7 million of cash and the issuance of $6.9 million of NWIN stock in exchange for First Personal common stock. Based on preliminary valuations of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on assumptions that are subject to ~~certain terms~~change, the First Personal acquisition added assets with fair values of approximately $140.5 million, including loans with a fair market value of approximately 94.6 million, and ~~conditions,~~liabilities with a fair market value of approximately $130.3 million, including deposits with a fair market value of approximately $124.9 million.

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 those securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and volatility in securities markets. The fair values are expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

The Bancorp has established a standard loan grading system to assist management, lenders and review personnel in their analysis and supervision of the loan portfolio. The use and application of these grades by the Bancorp is uniform and conforms to regulatory definitions. The loan grading system is as follows:

1 – Minimal Risk

Borrower demonstrates exceptional credit fundamentals, including stable and predictable profit margins, strong liquidity and a conservative balance sheet with superior asset quality. Excellent cash flow coverage of existing and projected debt service. Historic and projected performance indicates borrower is able to meet obligations under almost any economic circumstances.

2 – Moderate risk

Borrower consistently internally generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, working assets, and some capital expenditures. Risk of default considered low.

3 – Above average acceptable risk

Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service and some working assets and/or capital expansion needs. Profitability and key balance sheet ratios are at or slightly above peers. Current trends are positive or stable. Earnings may be level or trending down slightly or be erratic; however, positive strengths are offsetting. Risk of default is reasonable but may warrant collateral protection.

4 – Acceptable risk

Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, but most working asset and all capital expansion needs are provided from external sources. Profitability ratios and key balance sheet ratios are usually close to peers but one or more ratios (e.g. leverage) may be higher than peer. Earnings may be trending down over the last three years. Borrower may be able to obtain similar financing from other banks with comparable or less favorable terms. Risk of default is acceptable but requires collateral protection.

5 – Marginally acceptable risk

Borrower may exhibit excessive growth, declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing leverage and/or weakening market position that indicate above average risk. Limited additional debt capacity, modest coverage, and average or below average asset quality, margins and market share. Interim losses and/or adverse trends may occur, but not to the level that would affect the Bank’s position. The potential for default is higher than normal but considered marginally acceptable based on prospects for improving financial performance and the strength of the collateral.

6 – Pass/monitor

The borrower has significant weaknesses resulting from performance trends or management concerns. The financial condition of the company has taken a negative turn and may be temporarily strained. Cash flow may be weak but cash reserves remain adequate to meet debt service. Management weaknesses are evident. Borrowers in this category will warrant more than the normal level of supervision and more frequent reporting.

7 – Special mention (watch)

Special mention credits are considered bankable assets with no apparent loss of principal or interest envisioned but requiring a high level of management attention. Assets in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak. These borrowers are subject to economic, industry, or management factors having an adverse impact upon their prospects for orderly service of debt. The perceived risk in continued lending is considered to have increased beyond the level where such loans would normally be granted. These assets constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a classification of Substandard.

8 – Substandard

This classification consists of loans which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Financial statements normally reveal some or all of the following: poor trends, lack of earnings and cash flow, excessive debt, lack of liquidity, and the absence of creditor protection. Loans are still considered collectible, but due to increased risks and defined weaknesses of the credit, some loss could be incurred in collection if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Performing loans are loans that are paying as agreed and are approximately less than ninety days past due on payments of interest and principal.

During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of 2018, three commercial business loans totaling $355 thousand, three commercial real estate loans totaling $935 thousand, two residential real estate loans totaling ~~$115~~$114 thousand and ~~two~~five home equity loans totaling ~~$69~~$149 thousand were modified as a troubled debt restructuring. No troubled debt restructurings have subsequently defaulted during the periods presented. All of the loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are also considered impaired. The valuation basis for the Bancorp’s troubled debt restructurings is based on the present value of cash flows, unless consistent cash flows are not present, then the fair value of the collateral securing the loan is the basis for valuation.

Note 7 ~~- Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets,~~– Intangibles and Acquisition Related Accounting

The Bancorp established a goodwill balance totaling ~~$2.8~~$8.2 million with the acquisitions of First Personal, First Federal ~~Savings & Loan (First Federal)~~ and Liberty ~~Savings Bank (Liberty Savings).~~Savings. Goodwill of $5.4 million, $2.0 million, ~~was~~and $804 thousand were established with the acquisition of First Personal, First Federal, and ~~goodwill of $804 thousand was established with the acquisition of~~ Liberty ~~Savings.~~Savings, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. The Bancorp’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of the Bancorp to provide quality, cost effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. There has not been any impairment of goodwill identified or recorded. Goodwill totaled $8.2 million and $2.8 million ~~at March 31,~~as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2017, respectively.

In addition to goodwill, a core deposit intangible of $93 thousand for the acquisition of First Federal was established and is being amortized over 7.9 years on a straight line basis. Approximately $3 thousand of amortization was taken during the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017. It is estimated that an additional $9 thousand of additional amortization will occur during 2018, and $12 thousand of additional amortization will occur annually from 2019 to 2021, and the remaining amount will be amortized through to the first quarter of 2022. A core deposit intangible of $471 thousand for the acquisition of Liberty Savings was established and is being amortized over 8.2 years on a straight line basis. ~~Approximately $15 thousand~~A core deposit intangible of ~~amortization~~$3.0 million for the acquisition of First Personal was ~~taken during~~established and is being amortized over 6.4 years on a straight line basis. The table below summarizes the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017. It is estimated that $43 thousand of additional amortization will occur during 2018, and $58 thousand of additional amortization will occur annually from 2019 to 2022, and the remaining amount will be amortized through to the third quarter of 2023.annual amortization:

For the First ~~Federal~~Personal acquisition, as part of the fair value of ~~loans receivable,~~certificates of deposit, a ~~net~~ fair value ~~discount~~premium was established ~~for residential real estate, including home equity lines~~ of ~~credit, of $1.1 million~~$133 thousand that is being ~~accreted~~amortized over 558 months on a straight line basis. Approximately ~~$36~~$32 thousand of ~~accretion~~amortization was taken ~~into income for~~as expense during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2018, compared to $37 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017.~~September 30, 2018. It is estimated that ~~$123~~an additional $48 thousand of ~~additional accretion~~amortization will occur ~~in 2018. Similarly, for the Liberty Savings acquisition, as~~during 2018 and an additional $53 thousand of amortization will occur during 2019.

As part of the First Personal acquisition, the Bancorp acquired First Personal Statutory Trust I. NWIN guarantees the payment of distributions on the trust preferred securities issued by First Personal Statutory Trust I. First Personal Statutory Trust I issued $4.124 million in trust preferred securities in May 2004. The trust preferred securities carry a variable rate of interest priced at the three-month LIBOR plus 275 basis points, payable quarterly and maturing on June 17, 2034. Proceeds from the issuance of these securities were used to purchase junior subordinated debentures with the same financial terms as the trust preferred securities issued by First Personal Statutory Trust I. Management of the Bancorp has determined that the continued maintenance of the trust preferred securities issued by First Personal Statutory Trust I and the corresponding junior subordinated debentures are unnecessary to the Bancorp’s ongoing operations. As a result, the Bancorp’s board of directors has approved the redemption of the junior subordinated debentures, which also will result in the trustee of the First Personal Statutory Trust I redeeming all $4.124 million of the trust preferred securities. The junior subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities will be redeemed on or before December 31, 2018, and therefore, the fair value of loans receivable, a net fair value discount was established for residential real estate, including home equity lines of credit, of $1.2 million that is being accreted over 44 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $68 thousand of accretion was taken into income for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $81 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017. It is estimated that $196 thousand of additional accretion will occur in 2018, and accretion of $44 thousand will occur during 2019.trust preferred securities approximated their carrying value.

Note 8 - Concentrations of Credit Risk

The primary lending area of the Bancorp encompasses ~~all of~~ Lake County in northwest Indiana and Cook County in northeast Illinois, where collectively a majority of loan activity is concentrated. The Bancorp is also an active lender in Porter County, and to a lesser extent, LaPorte, Newton and Jasper counties in ~~Indiana,~~Indiana; and Lake ~~Cook~~ and Will counties in Illinois. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including residences, commercial real estate, land development, business assets and consumer assets.

Note 10 - Stock Based Compensation

The Bancorp’s 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was adopted by the Bancorp’s Board of Directors on February 27, 2015 and approved by the Bancorp’s shareholders on April 24, 2015, permits the grant of equity awards for up to 250,000 shares of common stock. Awards granted under the Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, performance shares, or performance units.

As required by the Stock Compensation Topic, companies are required to record compensation cost for stock options and awards provided to employees in return for employment service. For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, stock based compensation expense of ~~$52~~$154 thousand was recorded, compared to ~~$47~~$142 thousand for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. It is anticipated that current outstanding unvested ~~options and~~ awards will result in additional compensation expense of approximately ~~$542~~$441 thousand through ~~2021~~2022 with ~~$153~~an additional $50 thousand in 2018, $184 thousand in 2019, $150 thousand in 2020, ~~and $55~~$54 thousand in ~~2021.~~2021 and $3 thousand in 2022.

There were no incentive stock options granted during the first ~~three~~nine months of 2018 or 2017. When options are granted, 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 or awards. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, there were no outstanding incentive stock options.

There were 4,433 shares of restricted stock granted during the first~~three~~ nine months of 2018 compared to 4,575 shares granted during the first ~~three~~nine months of 2017. Restricted stock awards are issued with an award price equal to the market price of the Bancorp’s common stock on the award date and vest between three and five years after the grant date. Forfeiture provisions exist for personnel that separate employment before the vesting period expires. A summary of restricted stock activity under the Bancorp’s incentive stock option and incentive plans described above for the ~~three~~year ended December 31, 2017 and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 ~~follows:~~follows:

Note 11 – Change in Accounting Principles

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), superseding the current revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new guidance is effective for the Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2018 and has been adopted as of January 1, 2018. The use of the modified retrospective approach has been used for implementing this standard. Interest income is outside of the scope of the new standard and ~~will~~was not be impacted by the adoption of the standard. Management mapped noninterest income accounts to their associated income streams and applied the five step model to identify the contract, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the total transaction price, allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation, and ensure revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. A review of the Bancorp’s noninterest income has not resulted in a change in revenue recognition since adoption.

In January 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01,Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The ASU covers various changes to the accounting, measurement, and disclosures related to certain financial instruments, including requiring equity investments to be accounted for at fair value with changes recorded through earnings, the use of the exit price when measuring fair value, and disaggregation of financial assets and liabilities by category for disclosure purposes. The new guidance is effective for the Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2018 and was adopted on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, as the Bancorp does not hold any equity securities with unrealized gains or losses. The new reporting requirements have been incorporated into the fair value of financial instruments table and disclosures.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09:Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU seeks to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The areas for simplification in ASU No. 2016-09, identified through outreach for the Simplification Initiative, pre-agenda research for the Private Company Council, and the August 2014 Post-Implementation Review Report on FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including (1) accounting for income taxes, (2) classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flow, (3) forfeitures; (4) minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, (5) classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes, (6) the practical expedient for estimating the expected term, and (7) intrinsic value. The Bancorp adopted this ASU during 2017, and the adoption of this ASU has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 12 - Upcoming Accounting Standards

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases, which will supersede the current lease requirements in ASC 840. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with only capital leases recognized on the balance sheet. The reporting of lease-related expenses in the statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with the current guidance. The new lease guidance will be effective for the Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2019 and will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method to the beginning of the earliest period presented. Management does not believe the adoption of this update will have a material effect on the Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements, as the Bancorp does not engage in the leasing of property or in leasing of any significant furniture, fixtures, equipment, or software.

~~In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09:~~~~Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting~~. This ASU seeks to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The areas for simplification in ASU No. 2016-09, identified through outreach for the Simplification Initiative, pre-agenda research for the Private Company Council, and the August 2014 Post-Implementation Review Report on FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including (1) accounting for income taxes, (2) classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flow, (3) forfeitures; (4) minimum statutory tax withholding requirements, (5) classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax withholding purposes:, (6) the practical expedient for estimating the expected term, and (7) intrinsic value. The Bancorp adopted this ASU during 2017.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU includes increased disclosures and various changes to the accounting and measurement of financial assets including the Bancorp’s loans and available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities. Each financial asset presented on the balance sheet would have a unique allowance for credit losses valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses using reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new credit loss guidance will be effective for the Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2020. Upon adoption, the ASU will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method to the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. Early adoption for all institutions is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact adoption of this update will have on the Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. This process of evaluation has engaged multiple areas of the Bancorp’s management in discussing loss estimation methods and the application of these methods to specific segments of the loans receivable portfolio. Given the amount of time left to adoption, the appropriateness of the loss estimation methods chosen, and the continuing development of understanding of application, additional time is needed to fully understand how this ASU will impact the Bancorp’s financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This Standard simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity, prior to the amendments in ASU No. 2017-04, had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities, including unrecognized assets and liabilities, in accordance with the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. However, under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should (1) perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and (2) recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, with the understanding that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, ASU No. 2017-04 removes the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Finally, this ASU amends the Overview and Background sections of the Accounting Standards Codification as part of the FASB’s initiative to unify and improve such sections across Topics and Subtopics. The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2020.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08,Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This Standard amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. In particular, the amendments in this ASU require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not, however, require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; instead, the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in this ASU more closely align the amortization period of premiums and discounts to expectations incorporated in market pricing on the underlying securities. In fact, in most cases, market participants price securities to the call date that produces the worst yield when the coupon is above current market rates (i.e., the security is trading at a premium), and price securities to maturity when the coupon is below market rates (i.e., the security is trading at a discount), in anticipation that the borrower will act in its economic best interest. The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2020. Management will recognize amortization expense as dictated by the amount of premiums and the differences between maturity and call dates at the time of adoption.

Note 13 - 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 an asset or liability.

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 judgments and assumptions used in pricing could result in different estimates of value. In certain cases where market data is not readily available because of a 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 theInvestments – Debt and Equity SecuritiesTopic. Impairment is other-than-temporary if the decline in the fair value 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. The Bancorp considers 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 (1) has the intent to sell the debt securities or (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the debt securities before their 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.

The Bancorp’s management utilizes a specialist to perform an other-than-temporary impairment analysis for each of its ~~four~~ pooled trust preferred securities. The analysis is performed ~~semiannually on June 30 and~~annually during December 31 and 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 then tested for impairment consistent with theInvestments – OtherTopic and theInvestments – Debt and Equity SecuritiesTopic. 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 of cash flows is lower than the book value of the security. To perform the ~~semi-annual~~annual other-than-temporary impairment analysis, management utilizes current reports issued by the trustee, which contain principal and interest tests, waterfall distributions, note valuations, collection detail and credit ratings for each pooled trust preferred security. In addition, a detailed review of the performing collateral was performed. The review of the collateral began with a review of financial information provided by SNL Financial, a comprehensive database, widely used in the industry, which gathers financial data on banks and thrifts from U.S. GAAP financial statements for public companies (annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, respectively), as well as regulatory reports for private companies, including consolidated financial statements for bank holding companies (FR Y-9C reports) and parent company-only financial statements for bank holding companies (FR Y-9LP reports) filed with the Federal Reserve, and bank call reports filed with the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of Currency. Using the information sources described above, for each bank and thrift examined the following items were examined: nature of the issuer’s business, years of operating history, corporate structure, loan composition and loan concentrations, deposit mix, asset growth rates, geographic footprint and local economic environment. The issuers’ historical financial performance was reviewed and their financial ratios were compared to appropriate peer groups of regional banks or thrifts with similar asset sizes. The analysis focused on six broad categories: profitability (revenue streams and earnings quality, return on assets and shareholder’s equity, net interest margin and interest rate sensitivity), credit quality (charge-offs and recoveries, non-current loans and total non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans, loan loss reserve coverage and the adequacy of the loan loss provision), operating efficiency (non-interest expense compared to total revenue), capital adequacy (Tier-1, total capital and leverage ratios and equity capital growth), leverage (tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets, short-term and long-term borrowings and double leverage at the holding company) and liquidity (the nature and availability of funding sources, net non-core funding dependence and quality of deposits). In addition, for publicly traded companies’ stock price movements were reviewed and the market price of publicly traded debt instruments was examined. Based on current market conditions and a review of the trustee reports, management performed an analysis of the ~~four~~ pooled trust preferred securities and no additional impairment was taken at ~~March~~December 31, ~~2018.~~2017. During the second quarter of 2018, upon management review, the Bancorp decided to review for trust preferred security impairment annually, a change from semi-annual review previously disclosed. A specialist will be used to review all ~~four~~ pooled trust preferred securities again at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2018.

In the preceding table, the Bancorp’s 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 subordination assuming future collateral defaults by utilizing the default/deferral assumptions in the Bancorp’s other-than-temporary-impairment analysis. Subordination assuming future default/deferral assumptions is calculated by deducting future defaults from the current performing collateral. At March 31, 2018, management reviewed the 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.

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: For collateral that has already defaulted, no recovery was assumed; no cash flows were assumed from collateral currently in deferral, with the exception of the recovery assumptions. The default and recovery assumptions were calculated based on a detailed collateral review. 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.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, ~~three of the~~ trust preferred securities with a cost basis of $3.5 million continue to be in “payment in kind” status. ~~The Bancorp’s~~These trust preferred securities ~~that are~~ classified as “payment in kind” are a result of not receiving the scheduled quarterly interest payments. For ~~the~~these trust preferred 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 theInvestments – 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 on a consistent basis.

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses or loans for which charge-offs have been taken is generally based on a present value of cash flows or, for collateral dependent loans, based on recent real estate appraisals. Appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. The recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately ~~$2.0~~$7.2 million and the related specific reserves totaled approximately ~~$59~~$376 thousand, resulting in a fair value of impaired loans totaling approximately ~~$1.9~~$6.8 million, at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018. The recorded investment of impaired loans was approximately $2.5 million and the related specific reserves totaled approximately $704 thousand, resulting in a fair value of impaired loans totaling approximately $1.8 million, at December 31, 2017. Fair value is determined, where possible, using market prices derived from an appraisal or evaluation, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs. However, certain assumptions and unobservable inputs are often used by the appraiser, therefore, qualifying the assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of foreclosed real estate is similarly determined by using the results of recent real estate appraisals. The numerical range of unobservable inputs for these valuation assumptions is not meaningful to this presentation.

The following table shows carrying values and related estimated fair values of financial instruments as of the dates indicated. Estimated fair values are further categorized by the inputs used to measure fair value. Items that are not financial instruments are not included.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments presented in the preceding table for the ~~periods~~period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018:

Cash and cash equivalents carrying amounts approximate fair value. ~~The~~Certificates of deposit in other financial institutions carrying amounts approximate fair value (Level 2).The fair values of securities available-for-sale are obtained from broker pricing (Level 2), with the exception of collateralized debt obligations, which are valued by a third-party specialist (Level 3). Loans held-for-sale comprise residential mortgages and are priced based on values established by the secondary mortgage markets (Level 1). The estimated fair value for net loans receivable is based on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity, and marketability factors (Level 3). This is not comparable with the fair values disclosed for December 31, 2017, which were based on estimates of the rate the Bancorp would charge for similar such loans, applied for the time period until estimated repayment, in addition to appraisals which may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income ~~approach (Level 3).~~approach. Federal Home Loan Bank stock is estimated at book value due to restrictions that limit the sale or transfer of the security. Fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates book value, as the carrying values are determined using the observable interest rate, balance, and last payment date.

Non-interest and interest bearing deposits, which include checking, savings, and money market deposits, are estimated to have fair values based on the amount payable as of the reporting date (Level 1). The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit (included in interest bearing deposits) are based on estimates of the rate the Bancorp would pay on similar deposits, applied for the time period until maturity (Level 2). Estimated fair values for short-term repurchase agreements, which represent sweeps from demand deposits to accounts secured by pledged securities, are estimated based on the amount payable as of the reporting date (Level 1). Longer-term repurchase agreements, with contractual maturity dates of quarter or more, are based on estimates of the rate the Bancorp would pay on similar deposits, applied for the time period until maturity (Level 2). Short-term borrowings are generally only held overnight, therefore, their carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value (Level 1). The fair value of FHLB Advances (included in borrowed funds) are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using quoted rates from the FHLB for similar advances with similar maturities (Level 2). The estimated fair value of other financial instruments, and off-balance sheet loan commitments, approximate cost and are not considered significant to this presentation.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of First Personal Financial Corp.On ~~February 21,~~July 26, 2018, the Bancorp completed its previously announced ~~the execution~~acquisition of ~~an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) on February 20, 2018 with~~ First Personal Financial Corp., a Delaware corporation (“First Personal”), pursuant to ~~which~~an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 20, 2018 (the “First Personal Merger Agreement”) between the Bancorp ~~will acquire~~and First ~~Personal and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Personal Bank, through a stock and cash merger. Under~~Personal. Pursuant to the terms of the First Personal Merger Agreement, First Personal merged with and into the Bancorp, with the Bancorp as the surviving corporation (the “First Personal Merger”). Simultaneous with the First Personal Merger, First Personal Bank, an Illinois state chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of First Personal, merged with and into Peoples Bank SB, with Peoples Bank as the surviving bank.

In connection with the First Personal Merger, each First Personal stockholder ~~will have the right to receive~~holding 100 or more shares of First Personal common stock received fixed consideration of (i) 0.1246 shares of Bancorp common stock, and (ii) $6.67 per share in cash for each outstanding share of First ~~Personal’s~~Personal common stock. ~~First Personal stockholders~~Stockholders holding less than 100 shares of First Personal common stock ~~will have the right to receive~~received $12.12 in cash and no stock consideration for each outstanding share of First Personal common stock. ~~The merger is expected to close~~Any fractional shares of Bancorp common stock that a First Personal stockholder would have otherwise received in the ~~third~~First Personal Merger were cashed out in the amount of such fraction multiplied by $42.95.

The Bancorp issued a total of approximately 161,875 shares of Bancorp common stock to the former First Personal stockholders, and paid cash consideration of approximately $8.7 million. Based upon the closing price of Bancorp’s common stock on July 25, 2018, the transaction had an implied valuation of approximately $15.6 million.

Merger Agreement with AJS Bancorp, Inc. On July 30, 2018, the Bancorp entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “AJSB Merger Agreement”) with AJS Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“AJSB”). Pursuant to the AJSB Merger Agreement, AJSB will merge with and into NWIN, with NWIN as the surviving corporation (the “AJSB Merger”). Simultaneously with the AJSB Merger, A.J. Smith Federal Savings Bank, a federally chartered savings bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of AJSB (“ AJS Bank”), will merge with and into Peoples Bank SB, with Peoples Bank as the surviving bank.

The boards of directors of each of NWIN and AJSB have approved the AJSB Merger and the AJSB Merger Agreement. Subject to the approval of the AJSB Merger by AJSB’s stockholders, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions, the parties anticipate completing the AJSB Merger early in the first quarter of ~~2018.~~2019.

Upon completion of the AJSB Merger, each AJSB stockholder who holds 100 or more shares of AJSB common stock will have the right to receive fixed consideration of (i) 0.2030 shares of NWIN common stock, and (ii) $7.20 per share in cash for each outstanding share of AJSB’s common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the AJSB Merger Agreement.

The Bancorp is primarily a portfolio lender. Mortgage banking activities historically have been limited to the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities greater than 15 years. These loans are identified as held for sale when originated and sold, on a loan-by-loan basis, in the secondary market. The Bancorp will also retain fixed rate mortgage loans with a contractual maturity greater than 15 years on a limited basis. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, the Bancorp originated ~~$8.3~~$41.8 million in new fixed rate mortgage loans for sale, compared to ~~$6.3~~$31.6 million during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. Net gains realized from the mortgage loan sales totaled ~~$211~~$1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $883 thousand for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2018, compared to $200 thousand for the three months ended March 31,~~September 30, 2017. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, the Bancorp had ~~$1.9~~$4.5 million in loans that were classified as held for sale, compared to $1.6 million at December 31, 2017.

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs net of recoveries. A loan is charged-off against the allowance by management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur. The determination of the amounts of the ALL and provisions for loan losses is based on management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio with consideration given to all known relevant internal and external factors that affect loan collectability as of the reporting date. The appropriateness of the current period provision and the overall adequacy of the ALL are determined through a disciplined and consistently applied quarterly process that reviews the Bancorp’s current credit risk within the loan portfolio and identifies the required allowance for loan losses given the current risk estimates.

Non-performing loans include those loans that are 90 days or more past due and those loans that have been placed on non-accrual status. Non-performing loans totaled $4.0 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $1.2 million or 22.5%. The decrease in non-performing loans for the first three months of 2018 is primarily due to a charge-off totaling $526 thousand for two related commercial business loans, a charge-off of $119 thousand for a commercial real estate loan, and the removal of nine residential real estate loans. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.65% at March 31, 2018, compared to 0.84% at December 31, 2017. The ratio of non-performing loans to total assets was 0.43% at March 31, 2018, compared to 0.56% at December 31, 2017. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, all non-performing loans are also accounted for on a non-accrual basis, except for ~~two~~six residential real estate loans totaling ~~$51~~$885 thousand and one home equity loan totaling $50 thousand that remained accruing and more than 90 days past due.

~~Loans internally classified as substandard totaled $4.7 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $1.2 million or 20.5%.~~ The ~~decrease in non-performing~~Bancorp's nonperforming loans ~~for the first three months of 2018 is primarily~~are loans that are more than 90 days past due ~~to a charge-off totaling $526 thousand for two related commercial business~~and those loans ~~a charge-off of $119 thousand for a commercial real estate loan, an upgrade of a $450 thousand commercial business loan~~that have been placed on non-accrual status and ~~the removal of nine residential real estate loans.~~ are summarized below:

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. No loans were internally classified as doubtful or loss at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

In addition to identifying and monitoring non-performing and other classified loans, management maintains a list of ~~watch~~special mention loans. ~~Watch~~Special mention loans represent loans management is closely monitoring due to one or more factors that may cause the loan to become classified as substandard. ~~Watch~~

The Bancorp's special mention loans totaled $12.4 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $11.7 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of $753 thousand or 6.4%. The increase in watch loans is primarily due to the addition of two related commercial real estate loans totaling $1.6 million, five related commercial business loans totaling $712 thousand, and four related commercial business loans totaling $626 thousand and one commercial business loan for $430 thousand offset by the payoff of one commercial real estate loan for $2.3 million.are summarized below:

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 March 31, 2018, impaired loans totaled $2.0 million, compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2017, a decrease of $490 thousand or 19.4%. The decrease in impaired loans for the first three months of 2018 is primarily due to a charge-off totaling $526 thousand for two commercial business loans and a charge-off of $119 thousand for a commercial real estate loan. The March 31, 2018 impaired loan balances consist of four commercial real estate loans, four commercial business loans, and one construction and land development loan, all of which total $690 thousand that are secured by business assets and real estate, and are personally guaranteed by the owners of the businesses. In addition, 66 Investor Owned Residential Real Estate and purchased credit impaired loans totaling $1.3 million have also been classified as impaired. At March 31, 2018 the ALL contained $59 thousand in specific reserves for impaired loans, compared to $704 thousand at December 31, 2017. There were no other loans considered for impairment as of March 31, 2018. Typically, management does not individually classify smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgages or consumer loans, as impaired, unless they are troubled debt restructurings.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date. Purchased loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination are considered purchased credit impaired loans. Expected future cash flows at the purchase date in excess of the fair value of loans are recorded as interest income over the life of the loans if the timing and amount of the future cash flows is reasonably estimable (“accretable yield”). The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable difference and represents probable losses in the portfolio. In determining the acquisition date fair value of purchased credit impaired loans, and in subsequent accounting, the Bancorp aggregates these purchased loans into pools of loans by common risk characteristics, such as credit risk rating and loan type. Subsequent to the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. ~~At March 31, 2018,~~

The Bancorp's impaired loans, including purchased credit impaired loans, ~~with unpaid principal balances totaled $2.4 million with a recorded investment of $712 thousand.~~are summarized below:

At ~~March 31, 2018,~~times, the Bancorp ~~classified nine loans totaling $717 thousand as troubled debt restructurings, which involves modifying~~will modify the terms of a loan to forego a portion of interest or principal or ~~reducing~~reduce the interest rate on the loan to a rate materially less than market rates, or materially ~~extending~~extend the maturity date of a ~~loan. The Bancorp’s~~loan as part of a troubled debt restructurings include four residential real estate loans in the amount of $417 thousand, one commercial business loan in the amount of $180 thousand for which a reduction in interest rate and change in amortization was granted with no change to the maturity date, two home equity loans in the amount of $69 thousand for which an extension of amortization and reduction in rate was granted, and two accruing commercial business loans totaling $51 thousand for which a reduction in principal payments was granted.restructuring. The valuation basis for the Bancorp’s troubled debt restructurings is based on the present value of expected future cash flows; unless consistent cash flows are not present, then the fair value of the collateral securing the loan is the basis for valuation.

The Bancorp's troubled debt restructured loans are summarized below:

The increase in the troubled debt restructure loans reflected in the table above for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was the result of a $1.1 million commercial relationship as well as a $129 thousand commercial business loan which were modified as part of a troubled debt restructure or renewed with cash flow difficulties. These restructurings along with seven residential real estate and home equity restructurings all contributed to the increase in impaired loans. The $1.1 million relationship was classified as substandard and remains in accrual status.

The increase in the nonperforming, substandard, special mention, and impaired loans reflected in the tables above for the nine months ending September 30, 2018, are the result of the completion of the acquisition of First Personal as well as two large commercial relationships and one commercial customer which were all not related to the acquisition. One $531 thousand commercial real estate loan and First Personal loans totaling $761 thousand contributed to the September 30, 2018 increase in nonperforming loans. One large $1.1 million commercial relationship, one $531 thousand commercial real estate loan and First Personal loans totaling $761 thousand contributed to the September 30, 2018 increase in substandard loans. One $2.1 million commercial relationship and First Personal loans totaling $4.1 million contributed to the September 30, 2018 increase in watch loans, which was offset by the payoff of one $2.3 million commercial real estate loan. One large $1.1 million commercial relationship, one $531 thousand commercial real estate loan, and First Personal purchased credit impaired loans totaling $4.0 million contributed to the September 30, 2018 increase in impaired loans.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, management is of the opinion that there are no loans, except certain of 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 will imminently result in such loans being classified as past due, non-accrual or a troubled debt restructure. Management does not presently anticipate that any of the non-performing loans or classified loans would materially affect future operations, liquidity or capital resources.

~~For~~The allowance for loan losses (ALL) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the three months ended March 31, 2018, $341 thousand in provisions to the ALL were required, compared to $234 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $107 thousand or 45.7%.

The March 31,~~September 30, 2018 balance in the ALL account ~~of $7.1 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 increase in certificate of deposits in other financial institutions is the result of First Personal merger.

Deposits are a fundamental and cost-effective source of funds for lending and other investment purposes. The Bancorp offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with the primary focus on building and expanding relationships.

The Bancorp’s end-of-period deposit portfolio balances were as follows:

The overall increase in total deposits is a result of ~~management’s sales efforts along with current customer preferences~~the acquisition of First Personal. When adjusted for ~~short-term, liquid investment alternatives.~~the First Personal acquisition, overall deposits decreased during the period ended September 30, 2018. This decrease reflects the cyclical nature and timing of municipality money market deposits.

The Bancorp’s borrowed funds are primarily used to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation. The Bancorp’s end-of-period borrowing balances were as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the Bancorp, liquidity management refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals, and pay dividends and operating expenses. Because profit and liquidity are often conflicting objectives, management attempts to maximize the Bank’s net interest margin by making adequate, but not excessive, liquidity provisions. Furthermore, funds are managed so that future profits will not be significantly impacted as funding costs increase.

Changes in the liquidity position result from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities are generally the cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the determination of net income. The primary investing activities include loan originations, loan repayments, investments in interest bearing balances in other financial institutions, and the purchase, sale, and maturity of investment securities. Financing activities focus almost entirely on the generation of customer deposits. In addition, the Bancorp utilizes borrowings (i.e., repurchase agreements, FHLB advances and federal funds purchased) as a source of funds.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents increased by ~~$9.4~~$2.9 million compared to a ~~$29.3~~$31.0 million decrease for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The primary sources of cash and cash equivalents were sales of loans originated for sale, proceeds from maturities, pay downs, calls, and sales of available-for-sale securities, proceeds from FHLB advances, and ~~borrowed funds.~~additional borrowings. The primary uses of cash and cash equivalents were loan originations, the purchase of securities, ~~loan originations,~~ and the repayment of FHLB advances. Cash provided by operating activities totaled ~~$3.0~~$2.3 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, compared to cash provided of ~~$3.7~~$9.1 million for the ~~three~~nine month period ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily a result of an increase in ~~origination~~loans originated for sale offset by the sale of loans originated for ~~sale.~~sale and accrued expenses and other liabilities. Cash outflows from investing activities totaled ~~$6.7~~$10.4 million for the current period, compared to cash outflows of ~~$16.8~~$33.0 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. Cash outflows from investing activities for the current ~~three~~nine months were primarily related to the origination of loans receivable and purchases of securities, offset by the sale and maturities for securities available-for-sale, and ~~pay downs~~cash used for the acquisition of ~~securities.~~First Personal. Net cash inflows from financing activities totaled ~~$13.1~~$11.0 million during the current period compared to net cash outflows of ~~$16.2~~$7.1 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The net cash inflows from financing activities ~~was~~were primarily a result of proceeds from FHLB ~~advances.~~advances and increased borrowing. On a cash basis, the Bancorp paid dividends on common stock of ~~$833 thousand~~$2.5 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and ~~$800 thousand~~$2.4 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled ~~$140.4~~$185.3 million. Approximately ~~55.4%~~51.4% of the commitments were at variable rates. Standby letters of credit, which are conditional commitments issued by the Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party, totaled ~~$8.7~~$10.2 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018. Management believes that the Bancorp has sufficient cash flow and borrowing capacity to fund all outstanding commitments and letters of credit, while maintaining proper levels of liquidity.

Management strongly believes that maintaining a high level of capital enhances safety and soundness. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, stockholders' equity ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$2.3~~$4.4 million ~~(2.4%~~(4.8%). During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, stockholders’ equity was primarily increased by net income of ~~$2.6 million.~~$6.7 million and the issuance of 161,875 shares for $6.9 million as part of the acquisition of First Personal. Decreasing stockholders’ equity was the declaration of ~~$833 thousand~~$2.6 million in cash dividends and a decrease to net unrealized gains (losses) on securities available-for-sale of ~~$4.0~~$6.7 million. On April 24, 2014 the Bancorp’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 50,000 shares of the Bancorp’s outstanding common stock, from time to time and subject to market conditions, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not expire and is only limited by the number of shares that can be purchased. The stock repurchase program will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. No shares were repurchased under the program during the first ~~three~~nine months of 2018 or 2017. During 2018, 7,700 restricted stock shares vested under the program outlined in Note 10 of the financial statements, of which 1,658 of these shares were withheld in the form of a net surrender to cover the withholding tax obligations of the vesting employees. The repurchase of these surrendered shares is considered outside of the scope of the formal stock repurchase program.

The Bancorp is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the FRB), and the Bank is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the FDIC. As applied to the Bancorp and the Bank, the FRB and FDIC capital requirements are substantially the same. These regulations divide capital into multiple tiers. The first tier (Common Equity Tier 1 Capital) includes common shareholders’ equity, after deductions for various items including goodwill and certain other intangible assets, and after certain other adjustments. Common Equity Tier 1 Capital also includes accumulated other comprehensive income (for organizations that do not make opt-out elections). The next tier (Tier 1 Capital) is comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital plus other qualifying capital instruments such as perpetual noncumulative preferred stock and junior subordinated debt issued to trusts, and other adjustments. The third tier (Tier 2 Capital) includes instruments such as subordinated debt that have a minimum original maturity of at least five years and are subordinated to the claims of depositors and general creditors, total capital minority interest not included in Tier 1 Capital, and limited amounts of the allowance for loan losses, less applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions. The Bancorp and the Bank are required to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6%, and a Total Capital ratio (comprised of Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) of 8%. In addition, the capital regulations provide for a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted average assets) of 4%.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 required the FRB to set minimum capital levels for bank holding companies that are as stringent as those required for insured depository subsidiaries. However, under the FRB’s “Small Bank Holding Company” exemption from consolidated bank holding company capital requirements, bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with less than $1$3 billion in consolidated assets, such as the Bancorp, are exempt from consolidated regulatory capital requirements, unless the FRB determines otherwise in particular cases. ~~The Bancorp would have approximately $1.1 billion of total assets when factoring in the acquisition of First Personal based on estimated total assets at closing.~~

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, the Bancorp’s and Bank’s regulatory capital ratios continued to be negatively impacted by regulatory requirements regarding collateralized debt obligations. The regulatory requirements state that for collateralized debt obligations that have been downgraded below investment grade by the rating agencies, increased risk based asset weightings are required. The Bancorp currently holds ~~four~~ pooled trust preferred securities with a cost basis of ~~$4.8~~$3.5 million. ~~Three of these~~These investments currently have ratings that are below investment grade. As a result, approximately ~~$19.4~~$18.9 million of risk-based assets are generated by the trust preferred securities in the Bancorp’s and Bank’s total risk based capital calculation.

The following table shows that, at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Bancorp’s capital exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements. The dollar amounts are in millions.

The Bancorp’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is primarily dependent upon the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Bancorp. Under Indiana law, the Bank may pay dividends from its undivided profits (generally, earnings less losses, bad debts, taxes and other operating expenses) as is considered expedient by the Bank’s Board of Directors. However, the Bank must obtain the approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) 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. An exemption from DFI approval would require that the Bank have been assigned a composite uniform financial institutions rating of 1 or 2 as a result of the most recent federal or state examination; the proposed dividend would not result in a Tier 1 leverage ratio below 7.5%; and that the Bank not be subject to any corrective action, supervisory order, supervisory agreement, or board approved operating agreement. The aggregate amount of dividends that may be declared by the Bank in 2018, without the need for qualifying for an exemption or prior DFI approval, is $10.2 million plus 2018 net profits. Moreover, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board may prohibit the payment of dividends if it determines that the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the Bank. On ~~February 16,~~August 31, 2018 the Board of Directors of the Bancorp declared a ~~first~~third quarter dividend of ~~$0.29~~$0.30 per share. The Bancorp’s ~~first~~third quarter dividend was paid to shareholders on ~~April 6,~~October 9, 2018.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the Quarter Ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 to the Quarter Ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017

For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, the Bancorp reported net income of ~~$2.6~~$1.6 million, compared to net income of ~~$2.3~~$2.2 million for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$263~~$623 thousand ~~(11.4%~~(27.7%). For the quarter, the ROA was ~~1.10%~~0.62%, compared to ~~1.02%~~0.98% for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The ROE was ~~11.20%~~6.70% for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, compared to ~~10.73%~~9.82% for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017.

Net interest income for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 was ~~$7.8~~$9.0 million, an increase of ~~$320 thousand (4.3%~~$1.2 million (16.0%), compared to ~~$7.5~~$7.8 million for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was ~~3.99%~~4.26% for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, compared to ~~3.84%~~3.94% for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The weighted-average cost of funds for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 was ~~0.43%~~0.56% compared to ~~0.28%~~0.32% for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The impact of the ~~3.99%~~4.26% return on interest earning assets and the ~~0.43%~~0.56% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of ~~3.56%~~3.69% for the current quarter, ~~which was~~an increase from the ~~same~~3.61% spread for the ~~three months~~quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. The net interest margin on earning assets was ~~3.58%~~3.72% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 and ~~March 31,~~3.63% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. On a tax equivalent basis, the Bancorp’s net interest margin was ~~3.80%~~3.92% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, compared to ~~3.82%~~3.86% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017. Comparing the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis more accurately compares the returns on tax-exempt loans and securities to those on taxable interest-earning assets.

Information relating to the average consolidated balance sheet and the yield on average earning assets and cost of average liabilities for the periods indicated are in the following table. Dividing the related interest, on an annualized basis, by the average balance of assets or liabilities drives the disclosed rates. Average balances are derived from daily balances.

The increase in gains on sale of loans is a result of overall increase in loan origination volume. Current market conditions provided opportunities to maintain securities cash flows, while recognizing gains from the sales of securities. The increase in gain on sale of foreclosed real estate is the result of normal course of business sales from other real estate owned. The increase in other noninterest income is primarily driven by rental income from other real estate owned properties.

The increase in compensation and benefits is primarily the result of aincreased compensation in the amount of approximately $200 thousand that resulted from the acquisition of First Personal. Additional increases to compensation and benefits can be attributed to management’s continued focus on talent management and retention. The ~~decrease~~increase in ~~occupancy and equipment~~data processing expense is primarily the result of ~~lower building operating expenses.~~data conversion expenses of approximately $600 thousand related to the acquisition of First Personal as well as increased utilization of systems.

The efficiency ratio is determined by dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income for the period. The acquisition of First Personal is discussed in Note 3 of the financial statements.

Income tax expenses for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018 totaled ~~$415~~$245 thousand, compared to income tax expense of ~~$468~~$509 thousand for the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2017, a decrease of ~~$53~~$264 thousand ~~(11.3%~~(51.9%).

The Bancorp’s lower current quarter effective tax rate is primarily a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that, among other changes, reduces the corporate federal income tax rate from 34% to 21% and was effective January 1, 2018.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Bancorp reported net income of $6.7 million, compared to net income of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $378 thousand (5.3%). For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the ROA was 0.92%, compared to 1.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The ROE was 9.56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 10.54% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $24.7 million, an increase of $1.8 million (7.8%), compared to $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 3.89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The weighted-average cost of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 0.51% compared to 0.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The impact of the 4.11% return on interest earning assets and the 0.51% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of 3.60% for the current nine months, which is a decrease from the spread of 3.59% as of September 30, 2017. The net interest margin on earning assets was 3.62% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 3.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. On a tax equivalent basis, the Bancorp’s net interest margin was 3.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 3.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Comparing the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis more accurately compares the returns on tax-exempt loans and securities to those on taxable interest-earning assets.

The increase in interest income for interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions and federal funds sold was primarily the result of higher average rates received from increases in short term rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in interest income for certificates of deposit in other financial institutions was the result of higher average balances and higher average rates received from increases in short term rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in interest income for securities available-for-sale and loans receivable was the result of higher average balances and higher weighted average rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in interest expense for total deposits and borrowed funds was the result of higher average balances and higher weighted average rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in interest expense for repurchase agreements was the result of higher weighted average rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The increase in fees and service charges is the result of the Bancorp’s continued focus on maintaining competitive fees within its market place, as well as the acquisition of First Personal. Current market conditions provided opportunities to maintain securities cash flows, while recognizing gains from the sales of securities. The increase in gain on sale of loans held for sale is the result of continued efforts on loan growth and normal course of business sales. The increase in other noninterest income is primarily driven by rental income from other real estate owned properties.

The following table shows the change in noninterest expense for the nine ending September 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017.

	Nine Months Ended

The increase in compensation and benefits is the result of a continued focus on talent management and retention, as well as the acquisition of First Personal. The increase in data processing expense is primarily the result of data conversion expenses related to the acquisition of First Personal and accounts for approximately $960 thousand of the increase shown. The remainder of the increase in data processing is due to increased system utilization. The increase in marketing expense is a result of the acquisition of First Personal. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily related to the acquisition of First Personal and accounts for approximately $700 thousand of the increase shown. The remainder of the increase in other noninterest expense is primarily related to a shared loss of $125 thousand from the operation of the wholly-owned subsidiary NWIN Risk Management, Inc. (a captive insurance subsidiary), as well as generally higher third party costs. The Bancorp’s efficiency ratio was 72.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 66.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increased ratio is related primarily to the increase in noninterest expense. The efficiency ratio is determined by dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income for the period. The acquisition of First Personal is discussed in Note 3 of the financial statements.

Income tax expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $1.0 million, compared to income tax expense of $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $690 thousand (40.2%). The combined effective federal and state tax rates for the Bancorp was 13.3% for the nine ended September 30, 2018, compared to 19.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The Bancorp’s lower current quarter effective tax rate is primarily a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that, among other changes, reduces the corporate federal income tax rate from 34% to 21% and was effective January 1, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those accounting policies that management believes are most important to the portrayal of the Bancorp’s financial condition and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. The Bancorp’s critical accounting policies from December 31, 2017 remain unchanged.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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, merger and acquisition activities, 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, among other things, factors identified in this report, including those identified in the Bancorp’s 2017 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

As part of its normal operations, the Bancorp is subject to interest-rate risk on the assets it invests in (primarily loans and securities) and the liabilities it funds (primarily customer deposits and borrowed funds), as well as its ability to manage such risk. Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair market values of the Bancorp’s financial instruments, cash flows, and net interest income. Like most financial institutions, the Bancorp has an exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates.

The Bancorp manages various market risks in its normal course of operations, including credit risk, liquidity risk, and interest-rate risk. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Bancorp’s business activities and operations. In addition, since the Bancorp does not hold a trading portfolio, it is not exposed to significant market risk from trading activities. The Bancorp’s interest rate risk exposures estimated at March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, are outlined in the table below for a period of 12 months based on projected results from the asset/liability model and does not consider other forecast assumptions.

The Bancorp's net income can be significantly influenced by a variety of external factors, including: overall economic conditions, policies and actions of regulatory authorities, the amounts of and rates at which assets and liabilities reprice, variances in prepayment of loans and securities other than those that are assumed, early withdrawal of deposits, exercise of call options on borrowings or securities, competition, a general rise or decline in interest rates, changes in the slope of the yield-curve, changes in historical relationships between indices (such as LIBOR and prime), and balance sheet growth or contraction. The Bancorp's ALCO seeks to manage interest rate risk under a variety of rate environments by structuring the Bancorp's balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions. The Bancorp enters into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments to help its commercial customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with customer contracts, the Bancorp enters into an offsetting derivative contract. The notional amount of these derivative instruments was $3.6 million with an estimated fair value loss of $19 thousand at March 31, 2018. The Bancorp manages its credit risk, or potential risk of default by its commercial customers through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures. Interest rate risk is monitored and managed within approved policy limits.

The Bancorp utilizes simulation analysis to quantify the impact of various rate scenarios on net interest income. Specific cash flows, repricing characteristics, and embedded options of the assets and liabilities held by the Bancorp are incorporated into the simulation model. Earnings at risk is calculated by comparing the net interest income of a stable interest rate environment to the net interest income of different interest rate environments in order to determine the percentage change. The analysis does not calculate scenarios for a decline of 3% or more due to current market interest rates. The simulation analysis is not indicative of expected actual results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Bancorp maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Sections 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e)) of regulations promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Bancorp in the reports that it files or submits under the "Exchange Act" is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Bancorp in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Bancorp's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Bancorp's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluate the effectiveness of the Bancorp's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each quarter. Based on that evaluation as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2018, the Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that ~~date~~ datein ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Bancorp under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and ~~forms.~~forms.

~~(b)~~

PART II - Other Information

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

The Bancorp and its subsidiaries, from time to time, are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business against its debtors and are defendants in legal actions arising from normal business activities. Management, after consultation with legal counsel believes that the ultimate liabilities, if any, resulting from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Bank or on the consolidated financial position of the Bancorp.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

~~The following describes some of the principal risks and uncertainties to which our industry in general, is subject:~~Not Applicable.

The banking industry in which we operate is subject to extensive regulation and supervision under federal and state laws and regulations. The restrictions imposed by such laws and regulations limit the manner in which we conduct our business, undertake new investments and activities and obtain financing. These regulations are designed primarily for the protection of the deposit insurance funds and consumers and not to benefit our shareholders. Financial institution regulation has been the subject of significant legislation in recent years and may be the subject of further significant legislation, none of which is in our control. Significant new laws or changes in, or repeals of, existing laws (including changes in federal or state laws affecting corporate taxpayers generally or financial institutions specifically) could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects credit conditions, and any unfavorable change in these conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We conduct business from offices that are located in Lake and Porter County in north-western Indiana. Because of the geographic concentration of our operations and customer base, our results depend largely upon economic conditions in this area. Any material deterioration in the economic conditions in these markets could have direct or indirect material adverse impacts on us, or on our customers or on the financial institutions with whom we deal as counterparties to financial transactions. Such deterioration could negatively impact customers’ ability to obtain new loans or to repay existing loans, diminish the values of any collateral securing such loans and could cause increases in the number of the Bancorp’s customers experiencing financial distress and in the levels of the Bancorp’s delinquencies, non-performing loans and other problem assets, charge-offs and provision for credit losses, all of which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures that we have adopted cannot eliminate the risk that we might incur losses on account of factors relating to the economy like those identified above, and those losses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

A significant source of risk for any bank or other enterprise that lends money arises from the possibility that losses will be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail (because of financial difficulties or other reasons) to perform in accordance with the terms of their loan agreements. In our case, we originate many loans that are secured, but some loans are unsecured depending on the nature of the loan. With respect to secured loans, the collateral securing the repayment of these loans includes a wide variety of real and personal property that may be insufficient to cover the obligations owed under such loans, due to adverse changes in collateral values caused by changes in prevailing economic, environmental and other conditions, including declines in the value of real estate and other external events.

Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, demand for loans, securities and deposits, and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the monetary policies of the FRB. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, our net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. We maintain an investment portfolio consisting of various high quality liquid fixed-income securities. The nature of fixed-income securities is such that increases in prevailing market interest rates negatively impact the value of these securities, while decreases in prevailing market interest rates positively impact the value of these securities. Any substantial, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We compete with much larger regional, national, and international competitors, including competitors that have no (or only a limited number of) offices physically located within our markets, many of which compete with us via Internet and other electronic product and service offerings. In addition, banking and other financial services competitors (including newly organized companies) that are not currently represented by physical locations within our geographic markets could establish office facilities within our markets, including through their acquisition of existing competitors. In December 2016, the OCC announced its intent to make special purpose national bank charters available to financial technology companies. While the agency issued a draft supplement to its licensing manual in March 2017, providing more details on how companies applying for such charters would be evaluated, the OCC has not given any definitive indication as to whether or not it intends to move forward in making such special purpose charters available to financial technology companies. In any event, developments increasing the nature or level of our competition, or decreasing the effectiveness by which we compete, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Our financial condition and results of operations that are presented in our consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, and selected financial data appearing in this Report, are, to a large degree, dependent upon our accounting policies. The selection of and application of these policies involve estimates, judgments and uncertainties that are subject to change, and the effect of any change in estimates or judgments that might be caused by future developments or resolution of uncertainties could be materially adverse to our reported financial condition and results of operations. In addition, authorities that prescribe accounting principles and standards for public companies from time to time change those principles or standards or adopt formal or informal interpretations of existing principles or standards. Such changes or interpretations (to the extent applicable to us) could result in changes that would be materially adverse to our reported financial condition and results of operations.

Liquidity is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of securities or loans and other sources could have a substantial negative effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities or the terms of which are acceptable to us could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry or economy in general. Although we have historically been able to replace maturing deposits and borrowings as necessary, we might not be able to replace such funds in the future if, among other things, our results of operations or financial condition or the results of operations or financial condition of our lenders or market conditions were to change.

Our ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial services companies are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services companies, or the financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of our counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount due us.

Prices and volumes of transactions in the nation’s securities markets can be affected suddenly by economic crises, or by other national or international crises, such as national disasters, acts of war or terrorism, changes in commodities markets, or instability in foreign governments. Disruptions in securities markets may detrimentally affect the value of securities that we hold in our investment portfolio, such as through reduced valuations due to the perception of heightened credit and liquidity risks. There can be no assurance that declines in market value associated with these disruptions will not result in other than temporary impairments of these assets, which would lead to accounting charges that could have a material adverse effect on our net income and capital levels.

Competition for qualified employees and personnel in the financial services industry is intense and there are a limited number of qualified persons with knowledge of our markets. Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract and retain qualified loan origination executives and sales executives for our trust and investment products and services. We also depend upon the continued contributions of our management personnel, and in particular upon the abilities of our executive management, and the loss of the services of one or more of them could harm our business.

Management regularly reviews and updates our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In the normal course of our business, we collect, process and retain sensitive and confidential client and customer information on our behalf and on behalf of other third parties. Despite the security measures we have in place, our facilities and systems may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks, security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and / or human errors, or other similar events.

Information security risks for financial institutions like us have increased recently in part because of new technologies, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies (including mobile devices) to conduct financial and other business transactions and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, perpetrators of fraud, hackers, terrorists and others. In addition to cyber-attacks or other security breaches involving the theft of sensitive and confidential information, hackers recently have engaged in attacks against large financial institutions, particularly denial of service attacks, designed to disrupt key business services such as customer-facing web sites. We may not be able to anticipate or implement effective preventive measures against all security breaches of these types. Although we employ detection and response mechanisms designed to contain and mitigate security incidents, early detection may be thwarted by sophisticated attacks and malware designed to avoid detection.

We also face risks related to cyber-attacks and other security breaches in connection with credit card transactions that typically involve the transmission of sensitive information regarding our customers through various third parties. Some of these parties have in the past been the target of security breaches and cyber-attacks, and because the transactions involve third parties and environments that we do not control or secure, future security breaches or cyber-attacks affecting any of these third parties could impact us through no fault of our own, and in some cases we may have exposure and suffer losses for breaches or attacks relating to them. We also rely on numerous other third party service providers to conduct other aspects of our business operations and face similar risks relating to them. We cannot be sure that their information security protocols are sufficient to withstand a cyber-attack or other security breach.

Any cyber-attack or other security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential customer information could severely damage our reputation, erode confidence in the security of our systems, products and services, expose us to the risk of litigation and liability, disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business.

We outsource certain information system and data management and processing functions to third party providers. These third party service providers are sources of operational and informational security risk to us, including risks associated with operational errors, information system interruptions or breaches, and unauthorized disclosures of sensitive or confidential client or customer information. If third party service providers encounter any of these issues, or if we have difficulty communicating with them, we could be exposed to disruption of operations, loss of service or connectivity to customers, reputational damage, and litigation risk that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or our business.

While we have selected these third party vendors carefully, we do not control their actions. Any problems caused by these third parties, including as a result of their not providing us their services for any reason or their performing their services poorly, could adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to our customers and otherwise to conduct our business. Replacing these third party vendors could also entail significant delay and expense.

We may acquire other banks, bank branches and other financial-service-related businesses and assets in the future. Acquiring other banks, businesses, or branches involves various risks commonly associated with acquisitions, including, among other things:

~~potential exposure to unknown or contingent liabilities of the acquired assets, operations or company;~~

~~exposure to potential asset quality issues of the acquired assets, operations or company;~~

~~environmental liability with acquired real estate collateral or other real estate;~~

~~difficulty and expense of integrating the operations, systems and personnel of the acquired assets, operations or company;~~

~~potential disruption to our ongoing business, including diversion of our management's time and attention;~~

~~the possible loss of key employees and customers of the acquired operations or company;~~

~~difficulty in estimating the value of the acquired assets, operations or company;~~

~~and potential changes in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the acquired assets, operations or company.~~

We may not be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with mergers or acquisitions. Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market values, and, therefore, some dilution of the Company’s tangible book value per common share or net income per common share (or both) may occur in connection with any future transaction. We may incur substantial costs to expand by acquisition, and such acquisitions may not result in the levels of profits we seek. Integration efforts for any future acquisitions may not be successful and following any future acquisition, after giving it effect, we may not achieve financial results comparable to or better than our historical experience.

Our common stock price constantly changes in response to a variety of factors (some of which are beyond our control), and we expect that our stock price will continue to fluctuate in the future. Factors impacting the price of our common stock include, among others:

~~actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly results of operations;~~

~~recommendations or research reports about us or the financial services industry in general published by securities analysts;~~

~~the failure of securities analysts to cover, or continue to cover, us;~~

~~operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors believe are comparable to us;~~

~~news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry;~~

~~perceptions in the marketplace regarding us, or our reputation, competitors or other financial institutions;~~

~~actual or anticipated sales of our equity or equity-related securities;~~

~~our past and future dividend practice;~~

~~departure of our management team or other key personnel;~~

~~new technology used, or services offered, by competitors;~~

~~significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;~~

~~failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;~~

existing or increased regulatory and compliance requirements, changes or proposed changes in laws or regulations, or differing interpretations thereof affecting our business, or enforcement of these laws and regulations; and

~~litigation and governmental investigations.~~
