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 were exchanged for 1.3190 shares of New LaPorte’s common stock so that LaPorte-Federal’s existing shareholders 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. 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 included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

The results for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 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. 2013-1 “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 2013-1 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-2 “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 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. Stock options of 215,221 and 280,311 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive. Stock options of 224,989 and 281,829 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Basic:

At September 30, 2013, the Company held 102 investments in debt securities which were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and one investment in debt securities which was in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months. At December 31, 2012, the Company held 18 investments in debt securities which were in an unrealized loss position of which all were in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. 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.

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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance of loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings totaled $1,302 and $842, respectively. At September 30, 2013, all of these loans were considered nonperforming troubled debt restructurings except for one commercial real estate loan totaling $974 and one mortgage loan totaling $58. At December 31, 2012, all of these loans were considered nonperforming troubled debt restructurings. The Company did not have any specific reserves allocated to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. Troubled debt restructurings previously disclosed resulted in no charge offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $25,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

The recorded investment in loans does not include accrued interest.

One commercial real estate loan defaulted within twelve months following the modification for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. There were no troubled debt restructurings that defaulted within twelve months following the modification for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

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.

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

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. The Bank monitors credit quality on loans not rated through the loan’s individual payment performance. As of September 30, 2013, the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans was as follows:

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.

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

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. 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.

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.

The table below presents the valuation methodology and unobservable inputs for impaired loans and other real estate owned at September 30, 2013.

	Valuation Methodology	Unobservable Inputs	Range of Inputs	Average of Inputs
Impaired loans:

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 September 30, 2013 was determined using a discount rate of 10.0%, prepayment speeds ranging from 7.5% to 21.9%, 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.

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 $30,250 as of September 30, 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.

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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $220 in cash and securities with a fair value of $2,241 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 the Plan totaled $61 and $61 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $181 and $183 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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 the Company'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.

The Company granted 8,000 options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and no options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The fair value of options granted in 2013 was determined by using a risk-free interest rate of 2.32%, an expected term of 7.5 years, an expected stock price volatility of 19.24% and a dividend yield of 1.57%.

As of September 30, 2013, there was $287 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

Restricted Share Awards

The Plan provides for the issuance of up to 119,298 of restricted shares to directors and employees. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date. The fair value of the stock was determined by obtaining the listed price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Shares vest 20% annually over five years. 2,388 shares were available for future grants at September 30, 2013.

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 of 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.

If an event of default occurs causing an early termination of an interest rate swap derivative, an early termination amount payable to one party by the other party may be reduced by set-off against any other amount payable by the one party to the other party. If a default in performance of any obligation of a repurchase agreement occurs, each party will set-off property held in respect of transactions against obligations owing in respect of any other transactions.

This document (including information incorporated by reference) contains future oral and written statements of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its management and may contain, forward-looking statements, as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company’s management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and certain subsidiaries are detailed in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In addition to these risk factors, there are other factors that may impact any public company, including ours, which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries. These additional factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• changes in prevailing real estate values and loan demand both nationally and within our current and future market area;

• increased competitive pressures among financial services companies;

• changes in consumer spending, borrowing, and savings habits;

• the amount of assessments and premiums we are required to pay for FDIC deposit insurance;

• legislative or regulatory changes that affect our business including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and its impact on our compliance costs;

• our ability to successfully manage our commercial lending;

• the financial health of certain entities, including government sponsored enterprises, the securities of which are owned or acquired by the Company;

• adverse changes in the securities market;

• the new capital rules which will take effect on January 1, 2015;

• the costs, effects, and outcomes of existing or future litigation;

• the economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war, or threats thereof and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks;

• the success of our mortgage warehouse lending program including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on the mortgage companies; and

• the ability of the Company to manage the risks associated with the foregoing factors as well as anticipated risk factors.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012

General: Total assets at September 30, 2013 increased $6.9 million, or 1.4%, to $499.6 million compared to $492.8 million at December 31, 2012 due to an increase in securities available for sale which was offset by a decrease in gross loans. Total deposits at September 30, 2013 decreased $13.5 million, or 3.9%, to $335.4 million from $349.0 million at December 31, 2012 due to a decrease in brokered time deposits of $10.0 million and a decrease in customer time deposits of $7.8 million, which were partially offset by increases in interest-bearing checking and savings accounts. Total shareholders’ equity decreased $654,000, or 0.8%, to $83.4 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $84.1 million at December 31, 2012. Shareholders' equity was impacted by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, attributable to decreases of unrealized gains on available for sale securities as a result of the increase in interest rates during 2013. This decrease was partially offset by a $2.4 million increase in retained earnings.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Investment Securities: Total securities available for sale increased $42.1 million, or 33.5% to $167.7 million at September 30, 2013 from $125.6 million at December 31, 2012 as the proceeds received from the $40.1 million decrease in gross loans were primarily reinvested into our securities available for sale portfolio.

At September 30, 2013, management reviewed the securities portfolio for possible other-than-temporary impairment and determined there were no impairment charges to be recorded. The net unrealized losses on the available for sale securities portfolio totaled $231,000 at September 30, 2013, a decrease of $5.8 million from net unrealized gains totaling $5.6 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily attributable to increased interest rates during 2013 and did not reflect a deterioration of the credit quality of the issuers of these securities.

Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale decreased $747,000, or 64.7%, to $408,000 at September 30, 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 combined with a decrease in refinance activity during the year as mortgage interest rates trended up during 2013.

Net Loans: Net loans decreased $40.1 million, or 12.8%, to $273.6 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $313.7 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in the balances and activity for mortgage warehouse loans.

Mortgage warehouse loans decreased $32.2 million, or 23.4%, to $105.3 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $137.5 million at December 31, 2012. During 2013, a decrease in refinance activity from rising mortgage interest rates and an increase in mortgage warehouse competition resulted in lower loan volume and activity.

Commercial real estate loans decreased $2.2 million, or 2.8%, to $77.7 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $79.8 million at December 31, 2012. During 2013, we originated new commercial real estate loans totaling $9.7 million. The decrease in this portfolio from December 31, 2012 was primarily due to six relationships totaling $4.2 million being paid off prior to maturity totaling $4.2 million and four commercial relationships totaling $1.5 million moving to other real estate owned during the first nine months of 2013, in addition to normal amortization of all other commercial real estate loans.

One- to four-family residential loans decreased $4.3 million, or 11.6%, to $32.7 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $37.0 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily attributable to slowing refinance activity and normal amortization of the seasoned loan portfolio during the first nine months of 2013. We have continued to sell a 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 adding generally lower yielding fixed rate long term mortgages to the balance sheet.

Commercial business loans decreased $3.2 million, or 15.8%, to $17.0 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $20.2 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to loan repayments and payoffs totaling $5.6 million, partially offset by new loan originations totaling $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Five or more family residential loans increased $1.3 million, or 9.1%, to $15.6 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to four new loan relationships during the first nine months of 2013 totaling $8.8 million and was partially offset by one relationship being paid off during the first nine months of 2013 which totaled $6.4 million at December 31, 2012.

Construction loans increased $1.1 million, or 37.9%, to $4.0 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to draws on existing residential mortgage construction loans during the first nine months of 2013.

There was no material change in balances of land, home equity, or consumer loans at September 30, 2013 when compared to December 31, 2012.

The allowance for loan losses balance decreased $81,000, or 1.9%, to $4.2 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2012 due to net charge-offs of $287,000, partially offset by a provision for loan losses of $206,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Net charge-offs of $118,000 had been specifically reserved for in prior periods. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio increased to 1.52% at September 30, 2013 compared to 1.35% at December 31, 2012 due to both a decrease in gross loans of $40.1 million and an increase in specific reserve allocations of $417,000.

Nonperforming Assets: The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

(1) At September 30, 2013, $155,000 of one- to four-family residential loans, $54,000 of commercial real estate loans, $27,000 of commercial loans and $34,000 of automobile and other loans were classified as troubled debt restructured loans. At December 31, 2012, $127,000 of one- to four-family residential loans, $648,000 of commercial real estate loans, $29,000 of commercial loans and $38,000 of automobile and other loans were classified as troubled debt restructured loans.

Total nonperforming loans decreased $2.3 million, or 27.5%, to $6.1 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2012. Total nonperforming loans to total loans ratio decreased to 2.18% at September 30, 2013 compared to 2.63% at December 31, 2012. The decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily due to nine loan relationships which moved to other real estate owned during the first nine months of 2013 which totaled $2.1 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, two loan relationships totaling $887,000 at December 31, 2012 were paid off in 2013. These decreases were partially offset by by one commercial loan relationship totaling $613,000, five one- to four-family residential loans and one home equity loan totaling $329,000 that were moved to nonaccrual status during the first nine months of 2013.

At September 30, 2013, nonaccrual loans to rental, real estate and land developers totaled $4.2 million, to construction businesses totaled $201,000 and to all other commercial industry types totaled $82,000. One- to four-family residential loans on nonaccrual totaled $1.5 million at September 30, 2013. All other consumer loans on nonaccrual status totaled $73,000 at September 30, 2013.

Total nonperforming assets to total assets ratio decreased to 1.54% at September 30, 2013 compared to 1.88% at December 31, 2012 primarily due to a 17.1% decrease in nonperforming assets totaling $1.6 million during the first nine months of 2013. Other real estate owned increased $715,000, or 79.3%, to $1.6 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $902,000 at December 31, 2012. During the first nine months of 2013, 16 properties were transferred into other real estate owned with a recorded fair value of $2.1 million and seven properties were sold resulting in proceeds of $1.3 million. Write-downs totaling $119,000 were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 on other real estate owned properties. The current balance in other real estate owned includes the current market value of a property we acquired in our acquisition of City Savings Bank in 2007 and held for future branch development. The current market value of this property was $230,000 at September 30, 2013. Management anticipates listing this property for sale in the future but does not anticipate that to occur in the near term.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Our goodwill totaled $8.4 million at September 30, 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 its 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. We were not required to conduct the second step of the impairment analysis. Accordingly, no goodwill impairment was recognized during 2012.

Our stock price has increased from the previous analysis and the Company continues to be profitable, therefore, management determined that an updated analysis from an independent third party as of the end of the third quarter of 2013 was not necessary. As our market price per common share is currently less than our tangible book value per common share, it is reasonably possible that management may conclude that goodwill, totaling $8.4 million at September 30, 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 $13.5 million, or 3.9%, to $335.4 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $349.0 million at December 31, 2012 due to decreases in certificates of deposit and IRA balances partially offset by increases in savings deposits.

Certificates of deposit and IRA balances decreased $17.8 million, or 14.3%, to $107.0 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $124.8 million at December 31, 2012 due to a decrease in brokered time deposits of $10.0 million and a decrease in customer time deposits of $7.8 million. 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.

Savings deposits increased $3.3 million, or 2.7%, to $123.7 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $120.4 million at December 31, 2012. Noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits totaling $51.2 million and $53.6 million, respectively, at September 30, 2013 were relatively stable as compared to $50.9 million and $52.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012.

Borrowed Funds: Total borrowed funds increased $21.4 million, or 39.5%, to $75.5 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $54.2 million at December 31, 2012. Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) advances increased $21.0 million due to an increase in short-term advances of $11.0 million, which offset a $10.0 million decrease in brokered certificates of deposit. Long-term advances also increased by $10.0 million at September 30, 2013. During 2013, management elected to obtain two $5.0 million long-term advances and lock in to a fixed interest rate over the next several years as part of

its interest rate risk strategy. The Bank also has unsecured lines of credit at First Tennessee Bank totaling $15.0 million and at Zions Bank totaling $9.0 million. At September 30, 2013, the Company did not utilize the First Tennessee Bank line. The outstanding balance of the Zions Bank line was $400,000 at September 30, 2013.

Total Shareholders’ Equity: Total shareholders’ equity decreased $654,000, or 0.8%, to $83.4 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $84.1 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in other comprehensive income of $3.4 million offset by an increase in retained earnings of $2.4 million. The decrease in other comprehensive income was primarily due to a decrease of $5.8 million ($3.8 million net of tax effect) in the fair value of securities offset by an increase of $615,000 ($405,000 net of tax effect) in the fair value of interest rate swap derivatives . Both of these changes in fair value were the result of an increase in overall interest rates during 2013. The increase in retained earnings was primarily due to net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $3.1 million which was offset in part by $745,000 in shareholder dividends declared during the first nine months of 2013.

Comparison of Operating Results for Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012

Net Income: Net income decreased $503,000, or 36.7%, to $868,000, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net income was primarily due to decreases in net interest income totaling $599,000 and noninterest income of $462,000 and was partially offset by a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $253,000.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased $599,000, or 14.9%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $4.0 million for the same prior year period. Net interest margin decreased to 3.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 3.69% for the same prior year period. The decrease in the net interest margin was primarily due to a decrease in interest and fee income on loans of $853,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 due to continued low loan interest rates, as well as a decrease in average outstanding loan balances of $41.5 million over the same time period. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings of $215,000 over the same time period. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 18 basis points during the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same prior year period. During the third quarter of 2013, management utilized excess liquidity to purchase $15.5 million in new securities available for sale when interest rates moved higher and the yield curve steepened. We anticipate that the positive impact of such purchases on our net interest margin will be more evident during the fourth quarter of 2013 and into 2014, however, we anticipate that there will still be continued pressure on net interest income in the near future.

Interest and Dividend Income: Interest and dividend income decreased $814,000, or 16.0%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $5.1 million for the prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in interest and fee income on loans of $853,000, which was partially offset by an increase of $25,000 from interest and dividend income on tax exempt securities and $11,000 on fed funds sold and other interest-earning deposits. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased to 3.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 4.67% for the prior year period due to the continued low interest rates and the related impact on new and renewed loans, as well as securities.

Interest and fee income on mortgage warehouse loans decreased $458,000, or 27.4%, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield of 59 basis points. Although the interest rates charged on these loans are tied to prime, the spread has narrowed due to the competitive landscape for this line of business. Average outstanding balances on warehouse loans decreased $22.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period primarily due to an industry-wide decrease in mortgage loan originations and refinances as mortgage interest rates were higher during the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year period. During the third quarter of 2013, management added 4 new warehouse participants to help offset the decreased mortgage warehouse balances and anticipates that these new lenders will help maintain outstanding balances in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2014, given the outlook for mortgage volume.

Interest and fee income on one- to four-family residential loans decreased $119,000, or 21.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding balances of $6.9 million, as well as a decrease in the average yield of 27 basis points. The Company continues to sell the majority of residential fixed rate loans originated, and as a result, the outstanding balances continue to decrease due to normal amortization and refinance activity.

Interest and fee income on commercial real estate loans decreased $118,000, or 10.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in average outstanding balances of $7.5 million, as well as a decrease in the average yield of six basis points. The decrease was primarily attributable to two purchased loans totaling $1.8 million that paid off prior to maturity combined with normal amortization and paydowns and payoffs.

The following table sets forth the average balance sheet, average annualized yield and cost, and certain other information for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The annualized yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Interest and fee income on commercial loans decreased $62,000, or 24.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield of 79 basis points and a decrease in the average outstanding balances of $2.1 million. The decrease in the average yield was due to the decrease in overall interest rates over the last several years. New and renewed loans have been originated with lower interest rates when compared to loans currently in the portfolio.

Interest and fee income on automobile and other consumer loans decreased $30,000, or 30.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding balances of $1.0 million, as well as a decrease in the average yield of 104 basis points. The decrease in the average outstanding balance was primarily the continued runoff of the indirect automobile portfolio, as the Company has elected to exit that line of business. The decrease in the average yield was due to the overall decrease in interest rates on new loans originated, in addition to the decrease in the indirect automobile portfolio which historically provided a higher yield when compared to the other loans within this portfolio.

Interest income from taxable securities was relatively stable at $489,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period. The $30.2 million increase in the average outstanding balance during the 2013 period compared to the same prior year period provided the increase in interest income, however the new investments and the cash flow derived from the existing portfolio was reinvested at significantly lower interest rates resulting in a decrease in the average yield on these securities of 62 basis points for the 2013 time period.

Interest income from tax exempt securities increased $25,000, or 7.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of $5.4 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of 20 basis points as tax exempt securities purchased during 2013 were at significantly lower interest rates when compared to the other tax exempt securities in the portfolio.

Dividend income from FHLBI stock increased $5,000, or 17.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period and was attributable to an increase in the dividend yield of 53 basis points as a result of an increase in the annualized dividend declared by the FHLBI when comparing the two time periods.

Other interest income increased $11,000, or 100.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period and was attributable to an increase in the average balance of federal funds sold and other interest-earning deposits due to higher liquidity during the 2013 period.

Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $215,000, or 20.1%, to $855,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.1 million for the same prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 18 basis points. Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense was a decrease in the average outstanding balance of interest bearing liabilities of $22.7 million.

Interest expense on certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits decreased $126,000, or 22.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in average outstanding balances of $24.7 million combined with a nine basis point decrease in the average cost of these deposits. The Company has been able to shift a significant percentage of its deposit mix from fixed, higher cost certificates of deposits into lower cost money market, NOW, and savings accounts, which has assisted in lowering the Company's average cost of funds. Interest expense on money market and NOW accounts decreased $24,000, or 19.5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period due to a decrease in the average cost of these deposits of 10 basis points which more than offset the increase of $7.1 million in the average outstanding balances during the same periods.

Interest expense on FHLBI advances decreased $67,000, or 21.1%, to $251,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $318,000 for the same prior year period, attributable to both a decrease in the average outstanding balance of $4.4 million combined with a decrease in the average cost of these borrowings of 33 basis points. As advances have matured, the Company paid off a portion of the borrowings with excess liquidity and renewed a portion of the borrowings at lower current market interest rates.

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 our 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 $100,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $353,000 for the same prior year period. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily related to improving credit quality trends and a decrease in the total outstanding gross loan balances when compared to the prior year period. Net charge-offs were $110,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $316,000 for the same prior year period. Net charge-offs for the 2013 and 2012 periods included $48,000 and $80,000, respectively, of specific reserves established in prior periods.

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income decreased $462,000, or 42.1%, to $635,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.1 million for the same prior year period. The primary reason for the decrease in noninterest income was due to a $325,000 decrease in gain on mortgage banking activities as mortgage interest rates began to rise during the beginning of the third quarter of 2013, which slowed refinance activity. Net gains on sales of securities decreased $117,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the same prior year period due to fewer sales during the 2013 period. In addition, other income decreased $158,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to $141,000 of gains realized on the call of certain brokered deposits during the 2012 period.

Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense increased $92,000, or 3.3%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $2.8 million for the prior year period. This increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $99,000, or 6.2%, increase in salaries and wages expense primarily due to an increase in the officer bonus accrual compared to the prior year period combined with normal annual merit pay increases. The release of additional unearned ESOP shares purchased through our second step conversion completed in the fourth quarter of 2012 also contributed to the increase in salaries and wages expense during the third quarter of 2013. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in commission expense due to the lower volume of mortgage loan production. Advertising expense increased $23,000, or 56.1%, primarily due to new marketing campaigns during the third quarter of 2013.

Partially offsetting these increases in noninterest expense was a decrease in FDIC insurance expense of $17,000, or 18.7%, primarily due to the increase in the Bank's capital as a result of the second step conversion in October 2012 which reduced our assessment base. Bank examination fees expense decreased $16,000, or 12.9%.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense decreased $397,000, or 66.6%, to $199,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $596,000 for the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in income before taxes of $900,000, as well as a decrease in our effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 18.7% compared to 30.3% for the same prior year period. During the third quarter of 2012, we estimated all state net operating losses and other credits were utilized for 2012 resulting in a state income tax expense of $98,000 being recorded. The Company established a real estate investment trust company in January 2013 as an additional vehicle to raise capital which will have the ancillary effect of lowering our effective state income tax rate.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Comparison of Operating Results for Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012

Net Income: Net income decreased $235,000, or 7.0%, to $3.1 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $3.3 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decrease in net interest income of $969,000 as well as an increase in noninterest expense of $265,000, partially offset by a decrease of $678,000 in provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased $969,000, or 8.4%, to $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $11.5 million for the prior year period. Net interest margin decreased to 3.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 3.58% for the same prior year period. The decrease in the net interest margin was primarily due to a decrease in interest and fee income on loans of $1.8 million due to the low interest rate environment , as well as a $25.2 million, or 8.6%, decrease in average outstanding loan balances over the same time period. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings totaling $861,000. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 25 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the prior year period. The Company continues to focus on profitability growing its commercial loan portfolio, which is challenging in this competitive rate environment. Management is also continuing its efforts to deploy the capital raised in the second step conversion and as a result, expects to see continued pressure on net interest income in the near future.

Interest and Dividend Income: Interest and dividend income decreased $1.8 million, or 12.2%, to $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $15.0 million for the prior year period, which was primarily related to a decrease in interest and fee income on loans of $1.8 million. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 66 basis points to 3.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from the same prior year period due to the continued low interest rates and the related impact on new and renewed loans and securities.

Interest and fee income on mortgage warehouse loans decreased $547,000, or 12.4%, primarily due to the decrease in the average yield of 35 basis points. Although the interest rates charged on these loans are tied to prime, the spread has narrowed due to the competitive landscape for that line of business. Average outstanding balances on warehouse loans decreased $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period primarily due to an industry-wide decrease in mortgage loan originations and refinance activity in 2013 due to rising mortgage interest rates. During 2013, management added 5 new warehouse participants to help offset the decreased mortgage warehouse balances and anticipates that these new lenders will help maintain outstanding balances in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2014, given the outlook for mortgage volume.

Interest and fee income on one-to four-family residential loans decreased $445,000, or 24.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period due to a decrease in average outstanding balances of $7.2 million combined with a decrease in the average yield of 53 basis points. The Company continues to sell the majority of one-to four-family residential fixed rate loans originated, and as a result the outstanding balances continue to decrease due to normal amortization and refinance activity. Also during the the first quarter of 2013, a $42,000 adjustment to interest income was recorded on variable rate mortgages.

Interest and fee income on commercial real estate loans decreased $404,000, or 11.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the average outstanding balances of $5.5 million combined with a decrease in the average yield of 30 basis points. The decrease in outstanding loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to two purchased loans totaling $1.8 million that paid off prior to maturity combined with regular amortization, paydowns and payoffs, transfers to other real estate owned, and charge-offs during the first nine months of 2013 which were partially offset by new commercial real estate originations totaling $9.7 million. During the first quarter of 2013, a premium of $70,000 was written-off related to one of the purchased loans mentioned above which paid off prior to maturity.

Interest and fee income on commercial loans decreased $142,000, or 18.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield of 67 basis points. The decrease in the average yield was due to the decrease in overall interest rates over the last several years. New and renewed loans have been originated with lower interest rates when compared to loans currently in the portfolio. Average outstanding balances decreased $1.2 million over the same time period.

Interest and fee income on automobile and other consumer loans decreased $106,000, or 32.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in average outstanding balances of $1.5 million, as well as a decrease in the average yield of 78 basis points. The decrease in the average outstanding balance was primarily the continued runoff of the indirect automobile loan portfolio, as the Company elected to exit this line of business. The decrease in the average yield was due to the overall decrease in interest rates on new loans originated, in addition to the decrease in the indirect automobile portfolio which historically has provided a higher yield when compared to the other loans within this portfolio.

Interest income from taxable securities decreased $72,000, or 4.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, attributable to a decrease in the average yield of 46 basis points. The average outstanding balance increased $17.1 million over the same time period; however the cash flow derived from the portfolio was reinvested at significantly lower interest rates resulting in an overall decrease in interest income.

Interest income from tax exempt securities increased $25,000, or 2.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period. An increase in the average outstanding balance of $4.5 million was offset by a decrease in the average yield on these securities of 31 basis points as tax exempt securities purchased during 2013 were at significantly lower interest rates when compared to the other tax exempt securities in the portfolio.

Dividend income on FHLBI stock increased $17,000, or 20.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, attributable to an increase in the dividend yield of 59 basis points as a result of an increase in the annualized dividend declared by the FHLBI when comparing the two time periods.

Other interest income increased $43,000, or 165.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same prior year period and was attributable to a $13.5 million increase in the average balance of federal funds sold and other interest-earning deposits due to higher liquidity during the 2013 period resulting from the Company's second step conversion in October 2012.

Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $861,000, or 25.0%, to $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $3.4 million for the prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 25 basis points. Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense was a decrease in the average outstanding balance of interest bearing liabilities of $23.8 million.

Interest expense on certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits decreased $521,000, or 28.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in average outstanding balances of $26.1 million, as well as a 20 basis point decrease in the average cost of these deposits. The Company has been able to shift a significant percentage of its deposit mix from fixed, higher cost certificates of deposits into lower cost money market, NOW, and savings accounts, which has assisted in lowering the cost of funds. Interest expense on money market and NOW accounts decreased $61,000, or 16.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to a decrease in the average cost of 11 basis points which more than offset the impact of a $11.1 million increase in the average outstanding balances of these deposits.

Interest expense on FHLBI advances decreased $244,000, or 25.6%, to $709,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $953,000 for the prior year period, attributable to both a decrease in the average outstanding balance of $11.3 million, as well as a decrease in the average cost of these borrowings of 17 basis points. As advances have matured, the Company paid off a portion with excess liquidity and renewed a portion at lower interest rates than the maturing advances.

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 $206,000 provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $884,000 for the prior year period. The lower provision for loan losses during the current period compared to the prior year period was primarily related to improving asset quality trends and a specific reserve allocation made during the second quarter of 2012 related to one significant loan relationship attributable to updated collateral values obtained at that time. Net charge-offs were $287,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, of which $118,000 was specifically reserved for in prior periods, compared to net charge-offs totaling $351,000 for the prior year period.

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income remained relatively stable at $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. Net gains on sales of securities increased $176,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 when compared to the prior year period. During the second quarter of 2013, management elected to sell a portion of collateralized mortgage obligations and reinvested the proceeds into adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities to protect against a significant impact on earnings if interest rates increase in the future, and was able to record the additional securities gains. Also positively impacting noninterest income was a decrease in net losses on other assets of $153,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to a decrease in the amount of write downs recorded on other real estate owned properties when compared to the prior year period. Loan servicing fee income increased $100,000 during the first nine months of 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in the mortgage servicing rights provision based on our quarterly third party evaluation. Offsetting these increases in noninterest income was a decrease of $238,000 in gains on mortgage banking activities during the first nine months of 2013 compared to the prior year period due to a decrease in refinance and purchase activity as mortgage rates increased during 2013.

Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense increased $265,000, or 3.1%, to $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $8.5 million for the prior year period. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $189,000, or 3.9%, primarily attributable to an increase in the officer bonus accrual compared to the prior year period, normal annual merit pay increases, and increased expense related to the release of additional ESOP shares which were purchased through our second step conversion completed in October 2012. Data processing expense increased $71,000, or 18.1%, primarily due to costs associated with changes to our general ledger accounting software to integrate both our real estate investment trust and investment subsidiaries. Also contributing to the increase in data processing expense were upgrades to our credit analyzing software, which were implemented late in 2012. Advertising expense increased $48,000, or 29.8%, which was primarily attributable to an increase in marketing promotions and an increase in fees associated with the printing and XBRL detail tagging of the Company’s public filings when compared to the prior year period. Collection and other real estate owned expense increased $43,000, or 38.1%, primarily due to continued legal expenses and carrying costs of other real estate owned. Partially offsetting these increases in noninterest expense was a decrease in occupancy expense of $60,000, or 4.3%, primarily attributable to a decrease in real estate taxes of $75,000.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense decreased $257,000, or 22.5%, to $888,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $1.1 million for the prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in income before taxes of $492,000, as well as a decrease in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 22.2% compared to 25.5% for the prior year period. During the third quarter of 2012, we estimated all state net operating losses and other credits were utilized for 2012 resulting in a state income tax expense of $98,000 being recorded. The Company established a real estate investment trust company in January 2013 as an additional vehicle to raise capital which will have the ancillary effect of lowering our effective state income tax rate.

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 $140.7 million at September 30, 2013 and constituted 28.2% 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 $72.9 million at September 30, 2013, of which $70.0 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 September 30, 2013, we had $125.7 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 September 30, 2013, $20.0 million of these advances were due within one year, and $50.0 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2013 totaled $5.2 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2013, the Company’s borrowings from Zions First National Bank totaled $400,000.

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 21.2% and 20.0%, respectively, at September 30, 2013, and was “well-capitalized” under the regulatory guidelines.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

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 September 30, 2013, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 14.2%. 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.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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 September 30, 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 $(89,000), or (0.61)%, and $(310,000), or (2.11)%, 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 September 30, 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 (24.36)%, and (0.40)%, 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 September 30, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with its IRRM Policy limits regarding shocks between +3.00% and -1.00% 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

55

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK - continued

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.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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.
