NorthWest Indiana Bancorp

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

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 September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018. The income reported for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 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 July 26, 2018, the Bancorp completed its previously announced acquisition of 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 NWINthe Bancorp and First Personal.

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.

10

 

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.

 

11

During the first ninethree months of 2018, three2019, one commercial business loansloan totaling $355$47 thousand three commercial real estate loans totaling $935 thousand, two residential real estate loans totaling $114 thousand and five home equity loans totaling $149 thousand were modifiedwas renewed 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.

The Bancorp's individually evaluated impaired loans are summarized below:

Note 7 – Intangibles and Acquisition Related Accounting

 

The Bancorp established a goodwill balance totaling $8.2$10.7 million with the acquisitions of AJSB, First Personal, First Federal and Liberty Savings. Goodwill of $2.6 million, $5.4 million, $2.0 million, and $804 thousand were established with the acquisition of AJSB, First Personal, First Federal, and Liberty 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$10.7 million and $2.8$8.2 million as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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 an initial period of 7.9 years on a straight line basis. A core deposit intangible of $471 thousand for the acquisition of Liberty Savings was established and is being amortized over an initial period of 8.2 years on a straight line basis. A core deposit intangible of $3.0 million for the acquisition of First Personal was established and is being amortized over an initial period of 6.4 years on a straight line basis. A core deposit intangible of $2.9 million for the acquisition of AJSB was established and is being amortized over an initial period of 6.5 years on a straight line basis. The table below summarizes the annual amortization:

For the First Personal acquisition, as part of the fair value of certificates of deposit, a fair value premium was established of $133 thousand that is being amortized over 8 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $32$48 thousand of amortization was taken as expenseincome during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. It is estimated that an additional $48$5 thousand of amortization will occur during 2018 and2019. For the AJSB acquisition, as part of the fair value of certificates of deposit, a fair value premium was established of $174 thousand that is being amortized over 14 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $25 thousand of amortization was taken as income during the three months ended March 31, 2019. It is estimated that an additional $53$114 thousand of amortization will occur during 2019.

As part2019 and an additional $34 thousand 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 alsoamortization 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 the trust preferred securities approximated their carrying value.occur during 2020.

Note 10 - Stock Based Compensation

 

The Bancorp’s 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the Plan)“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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, stock based compensation expense of $154$71 thousand was recorded, compared to $142$52 thousand for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. It is anticipated that current outstanding unvested awards will result in additional compensation expense of approximately $441$639 thousand through 2022 with an additional $50 thousand in 2018, $184$213 thousand in 2019, $150$251 thousand in 2020, $54$155 thousand in 2021, and $3$20 thousand in 2022.

 

There were no incentive stock options granted during the first ninethree months of 20182019 or 2017.2018. 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 September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, there were no outstanding incentive stock options.

 

There were 4,4337,407 shares of restricted stock granted during the first ninethree months of 20182019 compared to 4,5754,433 shares granted during the first ninethree months of 2017.2018. 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 plansPlan described above for the year ended December 31, 20172018 and ninethree months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 follows:

Note 11 – Change in Accounting Principles

 

In May 2014, FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (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 iswas 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 was not 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)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 iswas 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 MarchFebruary 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09:2016-02,Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—ImprovementsLeases, which superseded the lease requirements in ASC 840. The ASU requires lessees to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU seeks to reduce complexityrecognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition 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 paidoperations. Prior to this ASU, leases were classified as either capital or operating, with only capital leases recognized on the statementbalance sheet. The reporting of lease-related expenses in the statements of operations and cash flows when an employer withholds sharesunder the new guidance is generally consistent with the prior guidance. The new guidance is effective for tax withholding purposes, (6) the practical expedient for estimating the expected term,Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2019 and (7) intrinsic value.was adopted on January 1, 2019. The Bancorp adopted this ASU during 2017, and the adoption of this ASU has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.statements, as the Bancorp does not engage in the leasing of property or in leasing of any significant furniture, fixtures, equipment, or software.

 

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 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. GivenManagement has been actively monitoring developments and evaluating the amountuse of time leftdifferent methods allowed. Due to adoption, the appropriateness of the loss estimation methods chosen, and the continuing development of understanding of application, additional time is neededrequired to fully understand how this ASU will impactaffect the Bancorp’s financial statements. Management plans on running parallel calculations during the year and finalizing a method or methods of adoption in time for the effective date.

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.

17

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.

 

18

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.GAAP. 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 pooled trust preferred securities. The analysis is performed annually during December 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.GAAP. 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 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. Based on current market conditions and a review of the trustee reports, management performed an analysis of the pooled trust preferred securities and no additional impairment was taken at December 31, 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.2018. A specialist will be used to review all pooled trust preferred securities again at December 31, 2018.2019.

 

The table below shows the credit loss roll forward on a year-to-date basis for the Bancorp’s pooled trust preferred securities that have been classified with other-than-temporary impairment:

 Collateralized 
 debt obligations 
 other-than-temporary  Collateralized debt obligations

Additions not previously recognized  -   - 
Ending balance, September 30, 2018 $271 
Ending balance, March 31, 2019 $235 

 

At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, trust preferred securities with a cost basis of $3.5 million continue to be in “payment in kind” status. These trust preferred securities classified as “payment in kind” are a result of not receiving the scheduled quarterly interest payments. For 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,GAAP, 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 $7.2$6.9 million and the related specific reserves totaled approximately $376$265 thousand, resulting in a fair value of impaired loans totaling approximately $6.8$6.6 million, at September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The recorded investment of impaired loans was approximately $2.5$5.8 million and the related specific reserves totaled approximately $704$246 thousand, resulting in a fair value of impaired loans totaling approximately $1.8$5.5 million, at December 31, 2017.2018. 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 methods were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments presented in the preceding table for the period ended September 30, 2018:

 

Cash and cash equivalents carrying amounts approximate fair value. 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. 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.

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. 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 times, the Bancorp will modify the terms of a loan to forego a portion of interest or principal or reduce the interest rate on the loan to a rate materially less than market rates, or materially extend the maturity date of a loan as part of a troubled debt 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.

At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, 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.

 

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.

The ALL provisions take into consideration management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio, loan portfolio balances, changes in the portfolio mix and local economic conditions. In determining the provision for loan losses for the current period, management has considered risks associated with the local economy, changes in loan balances and mix, and asset quality.

 

In addition, management considers additional reserves that have been established from acquisition activity. The Bancorp acquired loans for which there was evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination and it was determined that it was probable that the Bancorp would be unable to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. At March 31, 2019, total purchased credit impaired loans reserves totaled $3.0 million compared to $3.1 million at Decmber 31, 2018. Additionally, the Bancorp has acquired loans where there was not evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination and has marked these loans to their fair values. As part of the fair value of loans receivable, a net fair value discount was established for loans acquired of $5.2 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2018. Details on these fair value marks and the additional reserves created can be found in Note 5, Loans Receivable.

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.

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 ninethree months of 20182019 or 2017.2018. During 2018, 7,7002019, 3,302 restricted stock shares vested under the programIncentive Plan outlined in Note 10 of the financial statements, of which 1,658843 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)“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 $3 billion in consolidated assets, such as the Bancorp, are exempt from consolidated regulatory capital requirements, unless the FRB determines otherwise in particular cases.

 

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, 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 pooled trust preferred securities with a cost basis of $3.5 million. These investments currently have ratings that are below investment grade. As a result, approximately $18.9$17.5 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 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 2018,2019, without the need for qualifying for an exemption or prior DFI approval, is $10.2$1.5 million plus 20182019 net profits. Moreover, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve BoardFRB 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 August 31, 2018February 22, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Bancorp declared a thirdfirst quarter dividend of $0.30 per share. The Bancorp’s thirdfirst quarter dividend was paid to shareholders on October 9, 2018.April 5, 2019.

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.

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

  Nine Months Ended       
(Dollars in thousands) September 30,  Nine Months Ended 
  2018  2017  $ Change  % Change 
Noninterest income:                
Fees and service charges  2,830   2,404  $426   17.7%
Wealth management operations  1,253   1,267   (14)  -1.1%
Gain on sale of securities, net  1,155   758   397   52.4%
Gain on sale of loans held-for-sale, net  1,021   883   138   15.6%
Increase in cash value of bank owned life insurance  358   349   9   2.6%
Gain on sale of foreclosed real estate, net  154   95   59   62.1%
Other  104   64   40   62.5%
Total noninterest income $6,875  $5,820  $1,055   18.1%

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       
(Dollars in thousands) September 30,  Nine Months Ended 
  2018  2017  $ Change  % Change 
Noninterest expense:                
Compensation and benefits  12,045   10,847  $1,198   11.0%
Occupancy and equipment  2,524   2,542   (18)  -0.7%
Data processing  2,076   1,092   984   90.1%

Federal deposit insurance premiums  250   242   8   3.3%

Total noninterest expense $22,930  $19,253  $3,677   19.1%

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%(18.1%). The combined effective federal and state tax rates for the Bancorp was 13.3% for the ninequarter ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, compared to 19.5%13.9% 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,March 31, 2018.
