NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“New LaPorte”), successor to LaPorte Bancorp, Inc., a Federal corporation (“LaPorte-Federal”), its wholly owned subsidiary, The LaPorte Savings Bank (the “Bank”), the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, LSB Investments, Inc., (“LSB Inc.”) and LSB Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, LSB Real Estate, Inc., (“LSB REIT”), together referred to as “the Company”. LaPorte-Federal was formed in October 2007. New LaPorte was formed in June 2012. LSB Inc. was formed on October 1, 2011 to manage a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio. LSB REIT was formed on January 1, 2013. LaPorte-Federal was a majority owned (54.1%) subsidiary of LaPorte Savings Bank, MHC through September 30, 2012. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of LaPorte Savings Bank, MHC. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

On October 4, 2012, the Company completed its conversion and reorganization to the stock holding company form of organization. New LaPorte, the new stock holding company for the Bank, sold 3,384,611 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $27.1 million, in its stock offering. Concurrent with the completion of the offering, shares of common stock of LaPorte-Federal owned by the public have been exchanged for 1.3190 shares of New LaPorte’s common stock so that LaPorte-Federal’s existing shareholders now own approximately the same percentage of New LaPorte’s common stock as they owned of LaPorte-Federal’s common stock immediately prior to the conversion, as adjusted for the assets of LaPorte Savings Bank, MHC and their receipt of cash in lieu of fractional exchange shares. As a result of the offering and the exchange of shares, New LaPorte has approximately 6,205,250 shares outstanding. All share and per share information in this report for periods prior to conversion has been revised to reflect the 1.3190:1 conversion ratio on shares outstanding, including shares of LaPorte-Federal held by the former mutual holding company that were not publicly traded.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures which are necessary in the opinion of management to make the financial statements not misleading and for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented herein.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the interim consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 may not indicate the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU 2011-11. ASU 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria in the Accounting Standards Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2013-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented. The Company has adopted this standard. The effect of applying this standard is reflected in Note 10.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This ASU states that accumulated other comprehensive income is to be presented either on the face of the statement where net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income – but only if the item is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The Company has adopted this standard. The effect of applying this standard for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is reflected in Note 9.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. Diluted earnings per common share is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common share equivalents (50,522 and 0, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively). Stock options of 231,319 and 281,841 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive. The factors used in the earnings per common share computation follow:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2013			Three Months Ended March 31, 2012
Basic
Net income	$	1,088		$	927

Management periodically evaluates each investment security for potential other-than-temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports and observation of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. Management believes it will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the underlying investment securities and that the noted declines in fair value are considered temporary and due only to normal market interest rate fluctuations. The Company does not intend to sell the securities and is not more likely than not to be required to sell these debt securities before their anticipated recovery.

Sales of securities available for sale for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

A loan modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company grants a concession it would not otherwise consider but for the borrower’s financial difficulties. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance of loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings totaled $826 and $842, respectively. All of these loans were considered nonperforming troubled debt restructurings. The Company has allocated $0 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Troubled debt restructurings previously disclosed resulted in charge offs of $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Bank did not modify any loans which were considered to be troubled debt restructurings.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no troubled debt restructurings defaulted within twelve months following the modification.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed by the Company’s management loan committee.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorized loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. The analysis includes loans with risk ratings of Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

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 company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial asset:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2).

Loans Held for Sale and Loan Commitment Derivatives: The fair value of loans held for sale and residential mortgage loan commitments are determined by obtaining quoted prices for similar loans and commitments with similar interest rates and maturities from major secondary markets (Level 2).

Derivatives-Interest Rate Swaps: The fair value of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals performed by qualified independent third-party appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including cost, comparable sales and the income approach. The cost approach is based on the cost to replace the existing property. The comparable sales approach evaluates the sales prices of comparable properties within the same market area. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and the rate of return required by an investor. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent third-party appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals performed by qualified independent third-party appraisers.

The President/Chief Financial Officer (“President/CFO”) and Executive Vice President – Credit (“EVP – Credit”) are responsible for determining the valuation processes and procedures for the fair value measurement of impaired loans and other real estate owned properties. The President/CFO and EVP – Credit review impaired loans and other real estate owned properties on a quarterly basis to determine the accuracy of third party appraisals, auction values, values derived from trade publications and any additional data received from the borrower, and the appropriateness of unobservable inputs, generally discounts due to collection issues and current market conditions which are utilized in determining the fair value. The EVP – Credit determines discounts based on the valuation source and asset type for impaired loans. These discounts are reviewed periodically, annually at a minimum, for appropriateness. Current trends in market values and gains and losses on sales of similar assets are also considered when determining discounts of asset categories.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE - continued

Mortgage Servicing Rights: On a quarterly basis, loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an individual tranche exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that tranche so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. Fair value is determined at a tranche level, based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data (Level 2). Fair value at March 31, 2013 was determined using a discount rate of 10%, prepayment speeds ranging from 12.6% to 25.0%, depending on the stratification of the specific right, and a weighted average default rate of approximately 0.5%. Fair value at December 31, 2012 was determined using a discount rate of 10.0%, prepayment speeds ranging from 14.9% to 30.3%, depending on the stratification of the specific right, and a weighted average default rate of approximately 0.5%.

The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Cash and due from financial institutions: The carrying amounts of cash and due from financial institutions approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Interest-earning time deposits at other financial institutions: The fair values of the Company’s interest-earning time deposits at other financial institutions are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of interest-earning time deposits and are classified as Level 2.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock: It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

Loans: The fair values of loans is based on discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in Level 2 classification.

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE – continued

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are estimated using a cash flow calculation reduced by decay rate assumptions. These cash flows are discounted to the current market rate and a functional cost to recognize the inherent costs of servicing these accounts. This results in a Level 2 classification. Fair values of fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a cash flow calculation reduced by known maturities, estimated principal payments and estimated early withdrawal amounts. These cash flows are discounted to the current market rate. This results in a Level 2 calculation.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances: The fair values of the Company’s Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Subordinated Debentures: The fair value of the Company’s subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Short-term Borrowings: The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate fair values and are classified Level 2.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification based on the underlying asset or liability.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVES

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swap does not represent an amount exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreement.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges: Interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $30.25 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were designated as cash flow hedges of subordinated debentures, certain CDARS deposits and FHLB advances, and were determined to be fully effective during all periods presented. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets (liabilities) with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. The hedge would no longer be considered effective if a portion of the hedge becomes ineffective, the item hedged is no longer in existence or the Company discontinues hedge accounting. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining terms of the swaps. The Company does not expect any amounts to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) over the next 12 months.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVES – continued

The counterparty to the Company’s derivatives is exposed to credit risk whenever the derivative is in a liability position. As a result, the Company has collateralized the liability with cash and security collateral held in safekeeping by Bank of New York. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $220 in cash and securities with a fair value of $2,636 and $2,586, respectively, posted as collateral for these derivatives.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

During the month of September 2011, the Company implemented the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which was approved by shareholders on May 10, 2011. The Plan provides for issuance of stock options or restricted share awards to employees and directors. Total shares authorized for issuance under the Plan is 417,543 which is further discussed below. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for those plans totaled $61 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees or directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards.

Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Stock Options

The Plan permits the grant of stock options to its employees or directors for up to 298,246 shares of common stock. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant; those option awards have vesting periods of 5 years and have 10-year contractual terms. Options granted generally vest 20% annually.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of companies within LaPorte Bancorp, Inc.’s peer group. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date.

	2011
Risk-free interest rate	1.42%
Expected term	7 1/2 Years
Expected stock price volatility	27.34%
Dividend yield	1.60%

NOTE 10 – OFFSETTING FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities. These changes require an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The enhanced disclosures will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to understand and evaluate the effect or potential effect of master netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect of rights to setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. Other than the additional disclosure requirements, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012

General: Total assets decreased $8.5 million, or 1.7%, to $484.2 million at March 31, 2013 from $492.8 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net loans of $22.2 million which was offset in part by an increase in securities available for sale of $13.5 million. The Company experienced a decrease in total deposits of $8.4 million, or 2.4%, primarily due to a decrease in brokered time deposits, which matured and the Company did not renew, totaling $10.0 million. Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) advances decreased $1.3 million, or 2.7%, to $47.7 million at March 31, 2013 due to a decrease in short-term borrowings. Total shareholders’ equity increased $556,000 primarily due to net income of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income of $399,000 and dividends paid during the first quarter of 2013 of $248,000.

Investment Securities: Total securities available for sale increased $13.5 million, or 10.7%, to $139.1 million at March 31, 2013 from $125.6 million at December 31, 2012 primarily attributable to the decrease in net loans of $22.2 million.

At March 31, 2013, management reviewed the securities portfolio for possible other-than-temporary impairment and determined there were no impairment charges to be recorded. The total available-for-sale securities portfolio reflected a net unrealized gain of $4.8 million at March 31, 2013 compared to a net unrealized gain of $5.6 million at December 31, 2012.

Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale increased $1.1 million, or 98.8%, to $2.3 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to the timing of when residential mortgage loans were originated and subsequently sold to the secondary market.

Net Loans: Net loans decreased $22.2 million, or 7.1%, to $291.5 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $313.7 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in mortgage warehouse loans due to a decrease in originations and an increase in competition for this type of lending during the first quarter of 2013.

Mortgage warehouse loans decreased $17.3 million, or 12.6%, to $120.2 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $137.5 million at December 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, the Bank experienced a decrease in loan volume related to a decrease in refinance activity which typically occurs during the first quarter and an increase in competition from other Banks providing this service.

Commercial real estate loans decreased $2.4 million, or 2.9%, to $77.5 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $79.8 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease in commercial real estate loans was primarily the result of two loans being paid off prior to maturity during the first quarter which totaled $1.4 million at December 31, 2012, in addition to normal amortization of all other commercial real estate loans.

One- to four-family residential loans decreased $1.6 million, or 4.3%, to $35.4 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $37.0 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in this portfolio was primarily attributable to continued refinance activity and normal amortization of the seasoned loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2013. We have continued to sell the majority of our fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans originated. Management expects to continue selling the majority of the long term fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans originated in the near future to reduce interest rate risk exposure of generally lower yielding fixed rate long term mortgages remaining on the balance sheet.

There was no material change in balances of commercial business, five or more family residential, construction, land, home equity or consumer loans at March 31, 2013 when compared to December 31, 2012.

The allowance for loan losses balance decreased $88,000, or 2.0%, to $4.2 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2012 due to net charge-offs of $91,000, partially offset by a provision for loan losses of $3,000 during the first quarter of 2013. Net charge-offs of $69,000 had been specifically reserved for in prior periods. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.43% at March 31, 2013 compared to 1.35% at December 31, 2012.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Total nonperforming loans were $7.8 million at March 31, 2013 down from $8.4 million at December 31, 2012. Total nonperforming loans to total loans ratio was 2.64% at March 31, 2013 compared to 2.63% at December 31, 2012 primarily due to the decrease in net loans of $22.2 million during the first quarter as nonperforming loans decreased $545,000 from December 31, 2012. The decrease in nonperforming loans was due to three relationships totaling $404,000 at December 31, 2012 moving to other real estate owned during the first quarter of 2013. A nonaccrual loan relationship in the entertainment and recreation business decreased by $301,000 as a result of payments being received from the bankruptcy courts during the first quarter of 2013. Three one- to four-family residential loans totaling $280,000 moved to nonaccrual status during the first quarter of 2013.

At March 31, 2013, nonaccrual loans to rental, real estate and land developers totaled $4.4 million, to accommodation and food services totaled $1.0 million, to construction businesses $279,000 and to all other commercial industry types totaled $122,000. One- to four-family residential loans on nonaccrual totaled $2.0 million at March 31, 2013. All other consumer loans on nonaccrual status totaled $80,000 at March 31, 2013.

Total nonperforming assets to total assets ratio increased to 1.89% at March 31, 2013 compared to 1.88% at December 31, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in total assets of $8.5 million during the first quarter as nonperforming assets decreased $127,000 from December 31, 2012. Other real estate owned increased $418,000, or 46.3%, to $1.3 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $902,000 at December 31, 2012. Three properties were transferred into other real estate owned during the first quarter of 2013 with a recorded fair value of $509,000. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, write-downs totaling $92,000 were recorded on other real estate owned properties. The current balance in other real estate owned includes the current market value of a property the Company acquired in its acquisition of City Savings Bank in 2007, which was held for future branch development. The current market value of this property was $230,000 at March 31, 2013. The Company anticipates listing this property for sale in the future but does not anticipate that to occur in the near term. Subsequent to March 31, 2013, two properties were sold resulting in a decrease of $662,000 in other real estate owned.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Our goodwill totaled $8.4 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Accounting standards require goodwill to be tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds it fair value, which is determined through a two-step impairment test. Step 1 includes the determination of the carrying value of the reporting unit, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, and estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we are required to perform a second step to the impairment test. The most recent annual impairment review of the $8.4 million of goodwill previously recorded was performed in February 2013 as of October 31, 2012. Based on this evaluation completed in February 2013, management determined that the fair value of the reporting unit, which is defined as LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. as a whole, exceeded the book value of the goodwill, based on the opinion of an independent expert in valuations, such that the sales price per common share would exceed our book value per common share. Accordingly, no goodwill impairment was recognized in 2012.

Our stock price has increased from the previous analysis and earnings have continued to increase, therefore, management determined that an updated analysis from an independent third party as of the end of the first quarter of 2013 was not necessary. As our market price per common share is currently less than its tangible book value per common share, it is reasonably possible that management may conclude that goodwill, totaling $8.4 million at March 31, 2013, is impaired as a result of a future assessment. If our goodwill is determined to be impaired, the related charge to earnings could be material.

Deposits: Total deposits decreased $8.4 million, or 2.4%, to $340.5 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $349.0 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in certificate of deposit and IRA balances partially offset by increases in noninterest bearing demand deposit and savings accounts.

Certificates of deposit and IRA balances decreased $12.0 million, or 9.6%, to $112.8 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $124.8 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to a decrease in brokered time deposits of $10.0 million, which matured and were not renewed during the first quarter of 2013. Non-brokered certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits decreased $2.0 million during the first quarter of 2013, due to the continued competitive and low interest rate environment. Although management believes the interest rates offered on certificates of deposit have remained competitive, we have positioned them at or below the average rates offered in the market due to the pricing on alternative sources of funding.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $2.5 million, or 4.9%, to $53.4 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $50.9 million at December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the continued increase in balances of commercial deposit accounts as well as personal estate accounts during the first quarter of 2013. Savings accounts increased $2.3 million, or 4.0%, to $58.9 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $56.6 million at December 31, 2012.

Borrowed Funds: Total borrowed funds decreased $297,000, or 0.5%, to $53.9 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $54.2 million at December 31, 2012. FHLBI advances decreased $1.3 million primarily due to a decrease in short-term borrowings when comparing March 31, 2013 to December 31, 2012 which was offset by an increase in other borrowings of $1.0 million at March 31, 2013. The Company has been granted unsecured lines of credit at First Tennessee Bank in the amount of $15.0 million and at Zions Bank in the amount of $9.0 million. At March 31, 2013, the Company did not utilize the line of credit with First Tennessee Bank. At March 31, 2013, the Company borrowed $1.0 million from its line of credit with Zions Bank.

Total Shareholders’ Equity: Total shareholders’ equity increased $556,000, or 0.66%, to $84.6 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $84.1 million at December 31, 2012 due to an increase in retained earnings of $840,000 offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income of $399,000. The increase in retained earnings was primarily due to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $1.1 million which was offset in part by $248,000 in shareholder dividends paid during the first quarter. The decrease in other comprehensive income was primarily due to a decrease in the fair market value of securities of $804,000 ($530,000 net of tax effect) offset by an increase in the fair market value of interest rate swap derivatives of $198,000 ($131,000 net of tax effect).

Comparison of Operating Results for Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012

Net Income: Net income increased $161,000, or 17.4%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $927,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Return on average assets for the first quarter 2013 was 0.92% compared to 0.79% for the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in non-interest income of $317,000 as well as a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $225,000, partially offset by a decrease of $203,000 in net interest income.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased $203,000, or 5.4%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $3.8 million for the same prior year period. Net interest margin also decreased to 3.27% compared to 3.53%, over the same time period. The decrease in net interest income was partially due to the recognition of adjustments of approximately $112,000 in interest income on loans during the first quarter of 2013. A purchased USDA commercial real estate loan with a remaining premium of approximately $70,000 paid off prior to maturity as well as a reduction of approximately $42,000 in interest income on adjustable rate mortgage loans acquired through the acquisition of City Savings Bank in which the interest rates were not properly adjusted. Excluding these adjustments, the net interest margin would have been 3.38% for the three month period ended March 31, 2013. Also substantially impacting the net interest margin was the increase in lower yielding short-term interest earning deposits attributable to the capital raised in the second step conversion which was not fully deployed at March 31, 2013. Downward pressure on interest rates on both loans and investments continues to impact net interest margin as well, however our average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 29 basis points during the same time period, partially offsetting the decrease in net interest margin.

Interest and Dividend Income: Interest and dividend income decreased $557,000, or 11.2%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $5.0 million for the prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in interest and fee income on loans of $532,000. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased 59 basis points to 4.08% over the same time period due to the low market interest rates. Average outstanding loan balances decreased $17.8 million, primarily due to decreases in one-to-four family residential, five or more family residential, and commercial real estate loans. Over the same time period, average outstanding balances on both taxable and non-taxable securities increased $4.1 million and $2.2 million respectively.

Interest and fee income on one-to-four family residential loans decreased $191,000, or 29.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding balance of $8.1 million, as well as a decrease in the average yield. The average yield for the current quarter decreased 82 basis points, of which 45 basis points were attributable to the $42,000 adjustment to interest income on variable rate mortgages.

Interest and fee income on commercial real estate loans decreased $146,000, or 12.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to the $70,000 write-off of the remaining premium on a purchased USDA loan which paid off prior to maturity, in addition to a decrease of 99 basis points in the average yield on the portfolio. An increase in competition, along with the decrease in overall interest rates has led to the decline in the average yield.

Interest and fee income on five or more family residential loans decreased $61,000, or 24.3%, primarily due to a decrease in average outstanding balances of $3.7 million. The decrease in average balance was attributable to a loan relationship that the Bank chose to exit and refinanced elsewhere.

Interest and fee income on mortgage warehouse loans remained relatively unchanged for the current quarter compared to the same prior year period, however volume has decreased from the previous quarter. Management anticipates refinance volume may continue to slow in the near future given the current interest rate environment and near term outlook. Management is working to add additional mortgage companies to assist in mitigating the impact to the overall volume in the future.

Interest and fee income from taxable securities decreased $41,000, or 8.2% to $462,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, attributable to a decrease in the average yield of 27 basis points. The average outstanding balance increased $4.1 million over the same time period; however the continued low interest rate environment continues to negatively impact the overall yield on the portfolio. Interest income from other interest-earning deposits increased to $25,000 for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $5,000 for the same prior year period, attributable to an increase in the average outstanding balance of $19.6 million. A majority of the capital raised through the second step conversion in October 2012 were placed into shorter term certificates of deposit and federal funds sold until they are fully deployed into higher earning loans or longer-term investments.

Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $354,000, or 28.8%, to $874,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $1.2 million for the same prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 29 basis points. The average balance of interest bearing liabilities decreased $32.2 million, which also contributed to the decrease in interest expense.

Interest expense on certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits decreased $207,000, or 30.8%, to $464,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $671,000 for the same prior year period. The continued decrease in interest rates offered on new and renewing certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits compared to the rates on those maturing have contributed to a 27 basis point decrease in the average cost of those deposits. The average outstanding balance of certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits decreased $27.3 million due to the non-renewal of certain brokered time deposits. In addition, savings deposits and money market/NOW deposits combined average outstanding balances increased $21.7 million over the same time period, at a much lower average cost to the Company. Interest expense on money market accounts decreased $14,000, or 11.7%, due to a 12 basis point decrease in the average cost of such deposits.

Interest expense on FHLBI advances decreased $95,000, or 29.5%, to $227,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $322,000 for the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding balance of $24.0 million over the same time period as maturing long-term advances were paid off. Both decreased loan balances and the additional capital raised in the second step conversion contributed to our ability to pay off the advances instead of renewing them.

Provision for Loan Losses: We recognize a provision for loan losses, which is charged to earnings, to increase the allowance for loan losses to a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loan loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as future events occur. After an evaluation of these factors management recognized a $3,000 provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $228,000 for the prior year period. The primary reason for the decrease in the provision for loan losses was attributable to the decrease in the average outstanding loan balances of $17.8 million, in addition to a decrease in non-performing loans of $545,000 during the first quarter 2013 from the previous quarter ended December 31, 2012. Net charge-offs were $91,000 for the first quarter of 2013, of which $69,000 was specifically reserved for in prior periods.

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income increased $317,000, or 53.8%, to $906,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $589,000 for the same prior year period. Net gains on sales of securities increased $144,000 for the current quarter compared to the prior year period. Gains on mortgage banking activities increased $118,000 due to continued refinance activity over the same time period. The Bank is starting to experience a slight increase in purchase activity; however the majority of the originations continue to be from refinance activity. Losses on other assets decreased $59,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same prior year period, due to a decrease in the amount of write-downs recorded on other real estate owned. Service charge income, ATM and debit card fees and all other income remained relatively unchanged over the same time period.

Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 remained consistent at $3.0 million. Salaries and wages remained relatively unchanged at 0.54% increase. Data processing expense increased $58,000, or 45.7%, primarily due to costs associated with changes to our general ledger accounting software to integrate both our real estate investment trust and investment subsidiaries. The nonrecurring costs associated with this change were approximately $28,000, which affected the first quarter 2013 when compared to the same prior year period. Also contributing to the increase in data processing are the costs associated with the mobile banking product and upgrades to the credit analyzing software, which were implemented late in 2012 and not reflected in the prior year period expense, which accounted for approximately $14,000 of the increase. Collection and other real estate related expenses increased $37,000, primarily attributable to the legal fees related to the workout and collection of troubled credits. Advertising expense increased $17,000, which was primarily attributable to the increase in fees associated with the printing and XBRL detail tagging of the Company’s public filings, when compared to the prior year period.

Other expenses remained relatively unchanged with an increase of $10,000, or 2.6%, however other miscellaneous services increased $28,000 compared to the prior year period, primarily attributable to consulting fees associated with strategic planning as well as recruitment fees. Attorney fees, as a part of other expenses, decreased $34,000 primarily due to a lower level of expenses incurred related to troubled loans during the three months ended March 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year period.

Partially offsetting these increases in noninterest expense was a decrease in occupancy expense of $58,000, or 6.8%, attributable to a decrease in real estate taxes of $28,000 as well as an increase in rent income on an OREO property of $22,000. This rent income helped to offset occupancy expenses, however this rent will not continue in future periods, as the property was subsequently sold after the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense increased $87,000, or 35.2%, to $334,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $247,000 for the same prior year period, primarily due to an increase in income before taxes of $248,000, as well as an increase in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 23.5% compared to 21.1% for the same prior year period. The effective tax rates fluctuate based on the ratio of total income before tax attributable to tax-exempt securities, income derived from the REIT subsidiary, and life insurance income, in addition to the amount of loan charge-offs during the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Maintenance of adequate liquidity requires that sufficient resources be available at all times to meet cash flow requirements of the Company. Liquidity in a banking institution is required primarily to provide for deposit withdrawals and the credit needs of customers and to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. A bank may achieve desired liquidity from both assets and liabilities. Cash and deposits held in other financial institutions, Federal funds sold, other short term investments in interest-earning time deposits in other financial institutions and securities available-for-sale, maturing loans and investments, payments of principal and interest on loans and investments, and potential loan sales are sources of asset liquidity. Deposit growth and access to credit lines established with correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and market sources of funds are sources of liability liquidity. The Company reviews its liquidity position on a regular basis based upon its current position and expected trends of loans and deposits. The policy of the Board of Directors is to maintain sufficient capital at not less than the “well-capitalized” thresholds established by banking regulators. Management believes that the Company maintains adequate sources of liquidity to meet its liquidity needs.

The Company’s liquid assets, defined as cash and due from financial institutions interest earning time deposits in other financial institutions and the market value of unpledged securities available-for-sale, totaled $113.2 million at March 31, 2013 and constituted 23.4% of total assets at that date, compared to $97.4 million, or 19.8%, of total assets at December 31, 2012.

The Company also maintains lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The total of these lines of credit were $74.3 million at March 31, 2013, of which $47.7 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances were outstanding. The Company has additional securities and certain approved real estate loans available to pledge as collateral in order to increase our lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank. At March 31, 2013, we had $100.6 million in unpledged securities available for sale. The Company actively utilizes its borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank to manage liquidity and to provide a funding alternative to time deposits, if the Federal Home Loan Bank’s rates and terms are more favorable. The advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank can have maturities from overnight to multiple years. At March 31, 2013, $7.7 million of these advances were due within one year, and $40.0 million had maturities greater than a year.

The Company may also utilize the Federal Reserve discount window as a source of short-term funding. At March 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding overnight borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. The Company’s borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank discount window is based on the collateral value of pledged securities. During the second quarter of 2010, the Federal Reserve announced the discount window would return to its original intent of being a “lender of last resort”. The collateral value of securities pledged to the Federal Reserve discount window at March 31, 2013 totaled $6.8 million.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company was extended an accommodation from First Tennessee Bank National Association to borrow federal funds up to the amount of $15.0 million. This federal funds accommodation is not and shall not be a confirmed line or loan, and First Tennessee Bank National Association may cancel such accommodation at any time, in whole or in part, without cause or notice, in its sole discretion. At March 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings from First Tennessee Bank National Association.

Also during 2012, the Company signed a Federal Funds Line Agreement with Zions First National Bank to borrow federal funds up to the amount of $9.0 million. The credit limit amount is at the discretion of Zions First National Bank and may be modified at any time. At March 31, 2013, the Company’s borrowings from Zions First National Bank totaled $1.0 million.

Federal regulations establish guidelines for calculating “risk-adjusted” capital ratios and minimum ratio requirements. Under these regulations, banks are required to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets and a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (primarily total shareholders’ equity less intangible assets) of at least 4.0% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank had total and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of 20.2% and 19.0%, respectively, at March 31, 2013, and was “well-capitalized” under the regulatory guidelines.

In addition, regulators have adopted a minimum leverage ratio standard for Tier 1 capital to average assets. The minimum ratio for top-rated institutions may be as low as 3%. However, regulatory agencies have stated that most institutions should maintain ratios at least 1 to 2 percentage points above the 3% minimum. As of March 31, 2013, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 14.1%. Capital levels for the Bank remain above the established regulatory capital requirements.

Impact of Inflation

The primary impact of inflation on the Bank is its effect on interest rates. The Bank’s primary source of income is net interest income, which is affected by changes in interest rates. The Bank attempts to limit the impact of inflation on its net interest margin through management of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities and analyses of interest rate sensitivity. The effect of inflation on premises and equipment as well as on noninterest expenses has not been significant for the periods presented.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Proper management of the interest rate sensitivity and maturities of our assets and liabilities is required to protect and enhance our net interest margin and asset values, subject to market conditions. Interest rate sensitivity spread management is an important tool for achieving this objective and for developing ways in which to improve profitability.

The Company constantly monitors interest earning asset and deposit levels, developments and trends in interest rates, liquidity, capital adequacy and marketplace opportunities. Management responds to all of these to protect and possibly enhance net interest income while managing risks within acceptable levels as set forth in the Company’s policies. In addition, alternative business plans and transactions are contemplated for their potential impact. This process is known as asset/liability management and is carried out by changing the maturities and relative proportions of the various types of loans, investments, deposits and borrowings in the ways described above.

A commonly used tool to manage and analyze the interest rate sensitivity of a bank is a computer simulation model. To quantify the extent of risks in both the Company’s current position and in transactions it might make in the future, the Company uses a model to simulate the impact of different interest rate scenarios on net interest income. The hypothetical impact of a 12 month nonparallel ramp (generally, a nonparallel change in interest rates of +/- 3.00%) and smaller incremental interest rate changes are modeled at least quarterly, representing the primary means the Company uses for interest rate risk management decisions.

At March 31, 2013, given a +3.00% or –1.00% shock in interest rates, our model results in the Bank’s net interest income for the next twelve months changing by $1,166,000, or 7.63%, and $(478,000), or (3.13)%, respectively. The Bank’s Interest Rate Risk Management (“IRRM”) Policy sets limits for changes in net interest income given a +3.00% or -1.00% shock in interest rates of (15.00)% and (5.00)%, respectively.

The Company measures its economic value of equity at risk on a quarterly basis. Economic value of equity at risk measures the Company’s exposure to changes in its economic value of equity due to changes in a forecast interest rate environment. At March 31, 2013, given a +3.00% or -1.00% shock in interest rates, our model results in the Bank’s economic value of equity at risk for the next twelve months changing by (3.52)%, and (3.56)%, respectively. The Bank’s IRRM Policy sets limits for changes in the Bank’s economic value of equity at risk given a +3.00% or -1.00% shock in interest rates of (25.00)% and (15.00)%, respectively.

At March 31, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with its IRRM Policy limits regarding shocks in interest rates for changes in its net interest income and its economic value of equity.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in the economic portfolio value of equity and net interest margin require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in interest rates. In this regard, the information above assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that particular changes in interest rates occur at different times and in different amounts in response to a designed change in the yield curve for U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, although this information provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income. Finally, the above information does not take into account the changes in the credit risk of our assets which can occur in connection with changes in interest rates.

When preparing its modeling, the Company makes significant assumptions about the lag in the rate of change in various asset and liability categories. The Company bases its assumptions on past experience and comparisons with other banks, and tests the validity of its assumptions by reviewing actual results with projected expectations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company has adopted disclosure controls and procedures designed to facilitate financial reporting. The Company’s disclosure controls currently consist of communications among the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and each department head to identify any transactions, events, trends, risks or contingencies which may be material to its operations. These disclosure controls also contain certain elements of the Company’s internal controls adopted in connection with applicable accounting and regulatory guidelines. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Audit Committee and independent registered public accounting firm also meet on a quarterly basis to discuss disclosure matters. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and found them to be effective.

The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting. There have not been any significant changes in such internal control over financial reporting in the last quarter that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
