Item 1. Business

LaPorte Bancorp, Inc.

On October 4, 2012, LaPorte Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company,” including as the context requires prior to October 4, 2012, LaPorte Bancorp, Inc., a federal corporation) completed its conversion and reorganization to the stock holding company form of organization. The Company became the new stock holding company for The LaPorte Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and 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 Bancorp, Inc., a federal corporation owned by the public were exchanged for 1.319 shares of the Company’s common stock so that existing shareholders of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc., a federal corporation, owned approximately the same percentage of the Company’s common stock as they owned of the common stock of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc., a federal corporation 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, the Company had approximately 6,205,250 shares outstanding on the date immediately following the offering.

The Company’s primary business activities, apart from owning the shares of The LaPorte Savings Bank, currently consists of loaning funds to The LaPorte Savings Bank’s ESOP, investing in checking and money market accounts at The LaPorte Savings Bank, and investing in other investment securities. The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Bank and LSB Risk Management, LLC, which was formed on December 27, 2013 as a pooled captive insurance company subsidiary to provide additional insurance coverage for the Company and its subsidiaries related to the operations of the Company for which insurance may not be economically feasible.

The Company is subject to regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. The Company, as the holding company of The LaPorte Savings Bank, is authorized to pursue other business activities permitted by applicable laws and regulations, which may include the acquisition of banking and financial services companies. On November 20, 2013, the Company elected to become a financial holding company. See “Supervision and Regulation—Holding Company Regulation” for a discussion of permitted activities. We currently have no specific arrangements or understandings regarding any such other activities.

The Company’s cash flow depends on dividends received from The LaPorte Savings Bank. The Company neither owns nor leases significant infrastructure, but instead pays a fee to the Bank for the use of its premises, equipment, and furniture. The Company employs only persons who are officers of the Bank to serve as officers of the Company. We will utilize support staff of the Bank from time to time and pay a fee to the Bank for the time devoted to Company business by those employees. However, these persons are not separately compensated by the Company. The Company may hire additional employees, as appropriate, to the extent it expands its business in the future.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had consolidated assets of $526.9 million, deposits of $346.7 million and total equity of $80.2 million.

The Company’s home office is located at 710 Indiana Avenue, LaPorte, Indiana 46350 and the telephone number is (219) 362-7511.

The LaPorte Savings Bank

The LaPorte Savings Bank is an Indiana-chartered savings bank that operates seven full-service locations in LaPorte and Porter Counties, Indiana and a mortgage loan production office in St. Joseph, Michigan. We offer a variety of deposit and loan products to individuals and businesses, most of which are located in our primary market areas of LaPorte and Porter Counties, Indiana. The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. The Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, LSB Investments, Inc., which manages a large portion of the investment portfolio for the Bank. LSB Investments, Inc. has one wholly-owned subsidiary, LSB Real Estate, Inc., which is a real estate investment trust that purchases mortgage loans originated by the Bank.

Our business consists primarily of accepting deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, in mortgage warehouse loans, commercial real estate loans, residential loans, commercial loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and to a lesser extent, construction and land loans, automobile, and other consumer loans. In addition, we invest in mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligation securities, municipal bond securities, U.S. treasury and agency securities, corporate bond securities and interest-earning time deposits at other financial institutions. We also offer trust services through a referral agreement with a third party. For a description of our business strategy, see “Item7 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Strategy.”

Market Area

Our primary market for both loans (with the exception of mortgage warehouse loans) and deposits is currently primarily around the areas where our full-service banking offices are located in LaPorte and Porter Counties in Indiana as well as the contiguous counties in Indiana and Michigan. We also increased our market area for residential mortgage loans to St. Joseph, Michigan, and its surrounding areas when we opened our loan production office in September 2013.

Because of its location at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, LaPorte County is a major access point to the Chicago market for both rail and highway. LaPorte County is the second largest county geographically in Indiana. The southern part of the county is rural and agricultural in nature. The northern part of the county is where LaPorte and Michigan City are located and the majority of the population is centered. LaPorte County has experienced a small growth in population of 1.0% from 110,106 in 2000 to 111,246 in 2012, according to the 2012 Indiana Business Research Center at Indiana University Kelley School of Business (“Indiana Business Research Center”). The economies of LaPorte and Michigan City are mainly large manufacturing; however, both have made the transition to health care and social services, light industry, and construction. Michigan City has seen growth in the tourism industry due to its location on Lake Michigan, as well as, the presence of a casino and large retail outlet mall. According to the Indiana Business Research Center, LaPorte County’s major employment sectors are manufacturing and health care and social assistance, and its unemployment rate was 10.0% at the end of 2012, which was above the state’s rate of 8.4% at the end of 2012. LaPorte County's median household income in 2012 was slightly below the state’s median household income. LaPorte County ranks 35th in the state for those with educations of college graduate or higher. We continued to experience moderately declining property values with pockets of stability in certain areas of LaPorte County during 2013.

Porter County, to the west of LaPorte County, has historically seen higher growth because of its proximity to the Chicago market. The population of Porter County grew 0.8% from the 2010 U.S. Census to 165,682 in 2012 according to the Indiana Business Research Center. Porter County’s major employment sectors are manufacturing, health care and social services, and government. The economy of Porter County is critical to the Northwest Indiana region, which is made up of seven counties. The majority of the population within Porter County is centered between Portage and Valparaiso. Our Chesterton branch is located between Portage and Valparaiso. The unemployment rate for Porter County of 6.9% as of the end of 2012 was below the state’s rate of 8.4% as of the end of 2012 and the median household income in 2010 ranked 5th highest in the state of Indiana according to the Indiana Business Research Center. It is the 13th highest ranking county in the state for those with educations of college graduate or higher also according to the Indiana Business Research Center. We also continue to experience moderately declining property values with pockets of stability in certain areas of Porter County during 2013.

Competition

We face significant competition in both originating loans and attracting deposits. Both LaPorte and Porter Counties have a significant concentration of financial institutions, many of which are significantly larger than us and have greater financial resources than we do. Our competition for loans comes principally from commercial banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions, leasing companies, insurance companies, and other financial service companies. In addition, our mortgage warehouse lending competition is nationwide, and we are often competing with institutions that are significantly larger and may be able to offer larger lines or facilities. Our most direct competition for deposits has historically come from commercial banks, savings banks, and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from non-depository competitors such as the mutual fund industry, securities and brokerage firms, and insurance companies.

We believe our convenient branch locations, our emphasis on personalized banking, and our ability for local decision-making in our banking business provide a competitive advantage over the competition in our market areas. Specifically, we promote and maintain relationships and build customer loyalty within the communities we serve by focusing our marketing and community involvement on the specific needs of these communities. Within LaPorte and Porter Counties in Indiana, the Bank had deposit market shares of 19.1% and 1.6%, respectively, at June 30, 2013, which represented the second and ninth largest deposit market shares in the respective counties.

Lending Activities

Historically, our principal lending activity had been the origination of first mortgage loans for the purchase or refinance of one- to four-family residential real estate properties. In 2007, we began to shift our focus to strategically grow our commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios in an effort to increase interest income and build commercial banking relationships. As part of this initiative, we hired additional experienced commercial lenders and separated our credit administration and lending departments into two departments. In 2011, as part of our strategy to grow this type of lending, we hired a new Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer who has over 16 years of experience in commercial lending.

During 2009, we also introduced a new mortgage warehouse lending department, led by an executive with over 16 years of experience in the field. This type of lending increased our profitability in recent years through higher interest income and yields as well as related fee income. Our mortgage lending business experienced a decline in average total outstanding balances during 2013 as mortgage loan interest rates increased and refinancing activity slowed. In an effort to offset the impact of these challenges, we added eight new mortgage warehouse lines which helped to diversify these lines geographically in the United States.

Even though these shifts in our lending types resulted in a reduction of our one- to four-family residential loan portfolio as a percentage of our total loans since 2007, we continued to originate fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans for sale into the secondary market and adjustable rate mortgages to retain within our loan portfolio. During the latter part of 2013, we began to retain some fixed mortgages with a 10-15 year term mortgages within our portfolio in order to increase our loan balances and to reduce the effect of the amortization of the older mortgages in the portfolio. Also during 2013, we strengthened our residential lending team and infrastructure by hiring an experienced residential mortgage lending manager to grow our mortgage origination business in our local market areas in Laporte and Porter Counties in Indiana. In addition, we established a mortgage loan production office in St. Joseph, Michigan, and hired two experienced mortgage originators and an underwriter within that market. At the end of 2013, we also hired an experienced mortgage originator in our Porter County market to increase our market share in that area. These strategic additions are intended to increase our purchase mortgage business to reduce the impact of the decline in mortgage refinances.

The volume of and risk associated with our loans are affected by general economic conditions, including the continued weakness in real estate values.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by management and approved by the Board of Directors. The lending policy is reviewed and updated at least annually, most recently in December 2013. The Board of Directors has granted loan approval authority to certain officers or groups of officers up to prescribed limits, based on the officer’s experience and tenure. In addition, our Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer has the authority to approve all commercial loans or lending relationships up to $500,000. Generally, all commercial loans or lending relationships greater than $500,000 but less than $1.25 million must be approved by our Officer Loan Committee, which is compromised of the Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, Senior Vice President – Mortgage Warehousing, and Senior Vice President – Commercial Lending. Individual loans or lending relationships with aggregate exposure in excess of $1.25 million but less than $3.5 million must be approved by our Board of Directors Loan Committee, which includes five outside directors. Loans or lending relationships in excess of $3.5 million must be approved by the full Board of Directors.

Our mortgage warehouse loan approval process is intended to minimize potential risk by establishing desirable relationships with experienced and well-managed mortgage companies (participants). The Bank is relying primarily upon the mortgagor to repay the loan or extension of credit, but the mortgage participant and their principal owners must guarantee the performance of those loans or extension of credits they have originated. All residential mortgage loans in excess of an individual mortgage warehouse staff member’s loan authority must be approved by two members of the Officer Loan Committee. We have also established limits on outstanding lines to each mortgage participant. A maximum limit of $30.0 million has been established for a single mortgage participant or for mortgage participants with common ownership. The Board of Directors has the authority to increase this limit up to 20%, and any temporary increase above these increased limits also requires the approval of the Board of Directors. However, each individual mortgage originated by a mortgage participant must be below our legal lending limit.

One- to Four-Family Residential Loans. At December 31, 2013, approximately $35.4 million, or 11.9% of our loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-family residential loans. The majority of the one- to four-family residential mortgage loans we originate are conventional, but we also offer FHA and VA loans. We do not, nor have we ever engaged in subprime lending, defined as mortgage loans to borrowers who do not qualify for market interest rates because of problems with their credit history. Our one- to four-family residential mortgage loans are currently originated in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property, although loans may be made with higher loan-to-value ratios at a higher interest rate to compensate for the increased credit risk. Private mortgage insurance is generally required on loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%. Fixed-rate loans are generally originated for terms between 10 and 30 years. Depending on market conditions, we generally sell a majority of our longer term fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans as part of our asset/liability management strategy. During the latter part of 2013, we strategically began to retain a small portion of 10 to 15 year fixed-rate loans within our loan portfolio. At December 31, 2013, our largest loan secured by one- to four-family real estate had a principal balance of approximately $1.9 million and was secured by a single family residence. This loan was performing in accordance with its original repayment terms at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, $1.2 million of our one- to four-family residential mortgage loans were classified as non-performing.

We also offer adjustable rate mortgage loans with fixed interest rate terms of three, five, or seven years before converting to an annual adjustment schedule based on changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate or the designated United States Treasury index. These adjustable rate mortgage loans may be sold on the secondary market or retained in our loan portfolio. We originated $3.3 million of adjustable rate one- to four-family residential loans during the year ended December 31, 2013. The adjustable rate mortgage loans that we originate provide for maximum rate adjustments of 200 basis points per adjustment, with a lifetime maximum adjustment of 600 basis points, and amortize over terms of up to 30 years.

Adjustable rate mortgage loans help decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates based on their periodic repricing terms. However, adjustable rate mortgage loans involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, so do the interest payments on the loan, which may increase the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents, and therefore, is potentially limited in effectiveness during periods of rapidly rising interest rates. At December 31, 2013, $13.0 million, or 37.5%, of our one- to four-family residential loans contractually due after December 31, 2014 had adjustable rates of interest.

All one- to four-family residential mortgage loans that we originate include “due-on-sale” clauses, which give us the right to declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid.

Regulations guide the amount that a savings bank may lend relative to the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan, as determined by an appraisal of the property at the time the loan is originated. For all loans, we utilize outside independent appraisers and/or appraisal management companies approved by the Board. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance. We also require fire and casualty insurance and, where circumstances warrant, flood insurance.

Mortgage Warehouse Lending. In May 2009, we introduced a mortgage warehousing lending line of business, headed up by an individual brought into the organization with an extensive background in mortgage warehouse lending. Under this program, we provide financing to approved mortgage companies for the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans. Each individual mortgage is assigned to us until the loan is sold to the secondary market by the mortgage company. We take possession of each original note, or in some instances a third party custodian takes possession, and forwards such note to the end investor once the mortgage company has sold the loan. These individual loans are typically sold by the mortgage company within 30 days and are seldom held more than 90 days. Interest income is accrued during this period and fee income for each loan sold is collected when the loan is sold. Agency eligible, governmental (FHA insured or VA guaranteed), and jumbo residential mortgage loans that are secured by mortgages placed on existing one- to four-family dwellings may be purchased and placed in the mortgage warehouse line.

We have established several controls intended to minimize potential risks related to the approval of potential mortgage warehouse participants. The Bank performs an on-site due diligence review of all potential participants to ensure satisfactory controls are being performed as they relate to all aspects of the mortgage business, which includes a review performed by an independent third party. We also obtain substantial reference checks on potential participants from a variety of sources to ensure these companies have a satisfactory track record. Once these reviews are completed, the Senior Vice President – Mortgage Warehousing prepares a “Request for Approval” summarizing this information and our Commercial Credit department performs a detailed financial analysis of potential participants. This information is then presented to the Board of Directors for approval.

We have also established several controls to minimize potential risks as they relate to approved mortgage warehouse participants. The Bank has engaged an outside mortgage due diligence firm to perform on-site due diligence reviews of the participants. Each participant is reviewed at least every three years; however, participants with higher approved line limits are reviewed every other year, and in some cases annually. We may have a special review performed on any of our participants at any time, if warranted. We maintain daily interaction with all of our participants and also continue our own on-site visits. Participants are required to maintain errors and omission insurance and fidelity bond coverage.

In an effort to minimize potential risks as they relate to the individual mortgage loans originated by the mortgage warehouse participants, we have established several controls. The Bank will not fund a mortgage loan unless there is a valid takeout commitment to purchase from an institutional secondary market investor on our approved investor list. We will only wire funds for the origination of a loan to title companies which are independent of the mortgage warehouse participant. We randomly select loans each month for internal verification purposes with results of the testing reported monthly to the Bank’s Officer Loan Committee. If a mortgage loan remains in the warehouse for more than 60 days, a principal curtailment payment is required from the warehouse participant, which results in the mortgage loan being paid off within 180 days of origination.

Lastly, the Bank maintains a financial institution’s Third Party Catastrophe Blanket Bond insurance policy. The policy provides coverage for any fraudulent acts committed by our mortgage warehouse participants or any fraudulent acts committed by a third party involved in the mortgage transaction. The limit of liability for this policy is $7.5 million, with a deductible of $1.0 million at December 31, 2013.

During 2013, we added eight new warehouse participants with credit lines ranging between $2.0 million and $15.0 million. We added the new participants to provide additional warehouse activity, interest income, and fee income to offset the impact the increased mortgage interest rates had on our warehouse business in 2013. We are uncertain as to the potential future impact on our mortgage warehouse business related to the 2014 rule from the Consumer and Financial Protection Bureau under the Dodd-Frank Act that addresses a lender’s liability related to qualifying and non-qualifying mortgages and the ability of a borrower to repay their mortgage.

At December 31, 2013, we had repurchase agreements with 18 mortgage companies and held $115.4 million of mortgage warehouse loans outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded interest income of $4.4 million, mortgage warehouse loan fees of $680,000 and wire transfer fees of $239,000. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded interest income of $5.2 million, mortgage warehouse loan fees of $835,000 and wire transfer fees of $295,000.

Commercial Real Estate and Five or More Family Loans. At December 31, 2013, $99.2 million, or 33.4%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of commercial real estate and five or more family loans. These types of loans are secured by retail, industrial, warehouse, service, medical, residential apartment complexes, and other commercial properties. We believe that these types of loans can be a helpful asset/liability management tool because on average, these loans have a shorter term to repricing and a higher yield than our residential loans.

We originate both fixed- and adjustable-rate commercial real estate and five or more family loans, including partially guaranteed U.S. Small Business Administration loans. At December 31, 2013, we had $3.0 million of U.S. Small Business Administration loans in this portfolio. Our originated fixed-rate commercial real estate and five or more family loans generally have initial terms of up to five years, with a balloon payment at the end of the term. Our originated adjustable-rate commercial real estate and five or more family loans generally have an initial term of three- to five-years and a repricing option. Our originated commercial real estate and five or more family loans generally amortize over 15 to 20 years with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of generally 80%. At December 31, 2013, our largest commercial real estate loan relationship was $5.9 million and was secured by a hotel. At December 31, 2013, our largest five or more family loan relationship was $4.2 million and was secured by three residential apartment complexes. At December 31, 2013, each of these loan relationships was performing in accordance with its original repayment terms.

We consider a number of factors in originating commercial real estate and five or more family loans. We evaluate the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including credit history, cash flows, and management expertise, as well as the value and condition of the mortgaged property securing the loan. When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, we consider the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property, and the borrower’s payment history with us and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors we consider include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property, and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service) to ensure that it is at least 1.20 times the annual debt service. It is our general policy to obtain personal guarantees from commercial real estate borrowers, although we may consider waiving this requirement based upon the loan-to-value ratio and the debt coverage ratio of the proposed loan. All purchase-money and mortgage refinance borrowers are required to obtain title insurance. We also require on-going financial reporting, fire, and casualty insurance and, where circumstances warrant, flood insurance.

Loans secured by commercial real estate generally are considered to present greater risk than one- to four-family residential loans. Commercial real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general, including declining real estate values. Accordingly, the nature of these loans makes them more difficult for management to monitor and evaluate and more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions. At December 31, 2013, $897,000 of our commercial real estate loans and none of our five or more family loans were classified as non-performing.

The following table sets forth information regarding our commercial real estate and five or more family loans at December 31, 2013.

Commercial Loans. At December 31, 2013, $17.6 million, or 5.9%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of commercial loans. Commercial credit is offered primarily to business customers, usually for asset acquisition, business expansion, or working capital purposes. Current term loan originations generally have a three- to five-year term with a balloon payment at the end of the term. Current term loan originations will not exceed 20 years without approval from the Bank’s Board of Directors. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our current commercial loan originations is generally between 50% to 80%, depending on the type and marketability of the loan’s underlying collateral. The extension of a commercial credit is based on the ability and stability of management, whether cash flows support the proposed debt repayment, the borrower’s earnings projections and related assumptions, and the value and marketability of any underlying collateral. At December 31, 2013, our largest commercial loan balance was $3.2 million, and was secured by medical equipment and was performing in accordance with its original terms.

Commercial loans generally have a greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay based on their income and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial loans are typically made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself, which may be highly vulnerable to changes in general economic conditions (including the weak economic environment experienced in recent years). Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, be difficult to appraise, and fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting standards. At December 31, 2013, $27,000 of our commercial loans were classified as nonperforming.

Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit. We originate fixed home equity loans and variable rate home equity lines of credit secured by the borrower’s residence. The home equity products we originate generally are limited to 80-90% of the property value less any other mortgages depending on tiered credit requirements as established in our credit policy. The variable interest rates for home equity lines of credit are determined by a specified margin over the Wall Street Journal prime rate and may not exceed a designated maximum over the life of the loan. Our home equity lines of credit have an interest rate floor, and at December 31, 2013, the interest rates on the majority of these lines of credit were at their floor. We currently offer home equity loans with terms of up to 15 years with principal and interest paid monthly from the closing date. Our home equity lines of credit provide terms up to 20 years with an initial draw period of up to 10 years and a 10 year repayment period. Historically, our home equity products have monthly repayment requirements that include principal and interest calculated based on 2% of the outstanding principal balance. We previously offered interest-only home equity loans up to a five year term with payments of monthly interest. At the end of the initial term, the line must be paid in full or renewed.

At December 31, 2013, $11.4 million or 3.8% of our total loan portfolio consisted of home equity loans and lines of credit. At December 31, 2013, our largest home equity loan balance was $207,000 and was performing in accordance with its original terms.

Home equity lending is subject to the same risks as one- to four-family residential lending except that, since home equity loans and lines of credit tend to carry higher loan-to-value ratios and more household debt than one- to four-family residential loans, there is often a somewhat higher degree of credit risk, particularly in a period of economic difficulties such as those experienced in recent years. At December 31, 2013, $43,000 of our home equity loans were classified as non-performing.

Construction and Land Loans. At December 31, 2013, $12.9 million, or 4.3%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of construction and land loans. We make commercial land development and residential land loans. These loans generally have an interest-only phase during construction then convert to permanent financing. The maximum loan-to-value ratio applicable to these loans is generally 80%. At December 31, 2013, our total balance of commercial land development and residential land loans was $8.4 million. At December 31, 2013, our largest commercial real estate development loan relationship, which was secured by developed land, totaled $2.1 million and was considered a nonperforming loan. We are currently receiving payments on this relationship through the bankruptcy court and based on our most recent collateral value assessment, in addition to judgment liens on unencumbered real estate, management believes no additional provision for loan losses will be required.

We may also make loans to builders and developers for the development of one- to four-family lots in our market area. Land loans are generally made in amounts up to a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75% based upon an independent appraisal. It is our general policy to obtain personal guarantees from the builders and developers for our land loans.

A majority of our mortgage construction loans are for the construction of residential properties and carry fixed rates. Most of our current residential construction loan originations are structured for permanent mortgage financing within our policy guidelines for one- to four-family residential loans once the construction is completed. Depending on the terms of the permanent mortgage loans, we may decide to sell the loan on the secondary market. At December 31, 2013, our largest residential construction loan balance was $188,000, which was secured by the construction of a one- to four-family residence and performing in accordance with its original terms.

We also make construction loans for commercial development projects such as hospitality, apartment, small retail, and office buildings. These loans generally have an interest-only phase during construction then convert to permanent financing. Disbursements of construction loan funds are processed through a title company at our discretion based on the progress of construction. The maximum loan-to-value ratio limit applicable to these loans is generally 80%. At December 31, 2013, we had construction loans with an outstanding aggregate balance of $3.6 million and $540,000 of available commitments which were secured by commercial property. At December 31, 2013, our largest commercial construction loan relationship was $1.8 million, which was secured by the construction of two restaurants and was performing in accordance with its original terms.

11

The majority of our current commercial construction loans are subject to our normal underwriting procedures prior to being converted to permanent financing. Most of our current construction loans, once converted to permanent financing, repay over a period of 20 years. In addition, most of our current construction loans have interest only payments during the construction period. Such loans are made up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value of the completed property or contract price plus value of the land improvements. Funds are disbursed based on our inspections in accordance with a projection completion schedule.

In the past, we occasionally have made loans to builders and developers “on speculation” to finance the construction of residential property where justified by an independent appraisal. Whether we are willing to provide permanent takeout financing to the purchaser of the home is determined independently of the construction loan by a separate underwriting process. At December 31, 2013, we had no construction loans outstanding secured by one- to four-family residential property built on speculation. Given the recent economic conditions and overall concerns with the construction development industry, we no longer participate in this type of lending and do not anticipate a change in this strategy in the near future.

For all construction and land loans, we utilize outside independent appraisers approved by the Bank’s Officer Loan Committee. All borrowers are required to obtain title insurance. We also require builders risk insurance on construction loans and, where circumstances warrant, flood insurance on properties.

Construction and land lending generally affords us an opportunity to receive higher origination and other loan fees. In addition, such loans are generally made for relatively short terms. Nevertheless, construction and land lending to persons other than owner-occupants generally involve a higher level of credit risk than permanent one- to four-family residential lending due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on construction projects (including the recent economic slowdown), real estate developers, and managers. In particular, a slow real estate market, as we have recently experienced, will likely have a significant impact on the ability of the borrower to sell newly constructed units. In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are more difficult to evaluate and monitor. Our risk of loss on a construction or land loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value upon completion of the project (which may fluctuate based on market demand) and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment and/or the possibility of having to make substantial investments to complete and sell the project. Because defaults in repayment may not occur during the construction period, it may be difficult to identify problem loans at an early stage. When loan payments become due, the cash flow from the property may not be adequate to service the debt. In such cases, we may be required to modify the terms of the loan.

The table below sets forth by type the amount of our construction and land loans, including the amount of such non-performing loans at December 31, 2013. All of the loans are secured by properties located within our market area.

	Net Principal Balance		Non-Performing
	(Dollars in thousands)
One- to four-family construction	$	503	$	—
Multi-family construction	383		—
Commercial construction	3,566		—
Land	8,438		2,747
Total construction and land loans	$	12,890	$	2,747

Consumer and Other Loans. We offer a variety of loans that are secured by assets other than real estate such as deposits, recreational vehicles or boats, and automobiles. Our automobile loans are currently originated directly by us. In recent years, we had originated these loans indirectly through local automobile dealerships. At December 31, 2013, our consumer and other loans totaled $4.9 million, or 1.7%, of the total loan portfolio. At December 31, 2013, $508,000 million, or 0.2%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of indirect automobile loans, down from $1.2 million, or 0.4%, of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2012.

The terms of our consumer and other loans vary according to the type of collateral, length of contract, and creditworthiness of the borrower. We generally will originate direct automobile loans for up to 100% of the retail value for a new or used automobile. The repayment schedule of loans covering both new and used vehicles is consistent with the expected life and normal depreciation of the vehicle. The majority of the loans for recreational vehicles and boats were originated by City Savings Bank prior to the City Savings Bank merger and were written for no more than 80% of the estimated sales price of the collateral, for a term that is consistent with the vehicle’s expected life and normal depreciation.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of loans which are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances and the overall economy, including the weak economic environment we have experienced in recent years. Furthermore, the application of various state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such loans.

Loan Originations, Purchases, and Sales. Our loan origination activities have been primarily concentrated in our local market area. New loans are generated primarily from local realtors, walk-in customers, customer referrals, and other parties with whom we do business, and from the efforts of commissioned residential mortgage originators and advertising. Loan applications are underwritten and processed at our main office, or at our St. Joseph, Michigan loan production office. All loans receive final approval at our main office.

From time to time, we purchase loans from third parties to supplement loan production. In particular, we may purchase loans of a type that are not available, or that are not available with as favorable terms, in our own market area. We generally use the same underwriting standards in evaluating loan purchases as we do in originating loans. We made no loan purchases during 2013 and 2012. During 2011, we purchased one U.S. Department of Agriculture guaranteed loan from a third party which was subsequently repaid in 2012. At December 31, 2013, $930,000, or less than 1% of our loan portfolio consisted of purchased loans, and all of these purchased loans were serviced by others.

We often sell some of our originated loans in the secondary market. We generally make decisions regarding the amount of loans we wish to sell based on interest rate and/or credit risk management considerations. For instance, during 2013 and 2012, we sold the majority of our fixed-rate residential loan production as the lower interest rate environment made such loans attractive to consumers but unattractive to us as long-term investments. We base our decision on servicing residential mortgage loans based on customer preference and adjust the rate accordingly. If a customer desires for us to service the residential mortgage loan, then we generally sell the loan to Freddie Mac with servicing retained, otherwise we generally sell the residential mortgage loan with servicing released to a private investor. At December 31, 2013, we serviced $66.1 million of loans for others, the majority of which were mortgage loans serviced for Freddie Mac. In addition, we occasionally sell participation interests in our large, multi-family and commercial real estate loans in order to diversify our risk.

Nonperforming Loans and Assets. We use the accrual method of accounting for all performing loans. The accrual of interest income is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest previously credited to income is reversed. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectibility of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and ultimate collectibility of total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. Loans considered to be troubled debt restructurings follow the same policy for accrual of interest income as mentioned above.

In our collection efforts, we will first attempt to cure any delinquent loan. If a real estate secured loan is placed on nonaccrual status, it will be subject to transfer to the other real estate owned (“OREO”) portfolio (properties acquired by or in lieu of foreclosure), upon which our Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer will pursue the sale of the real estate. Prior to this transfer, the loan balance may be reduced, with a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses if necessary, to reflect its current market value less estimated costs to sell. Write downs of OREO that occur after the initial transfer from the loan portfolio and costs of holding the property are recorded as other operating expenses, except for significant improvements which are capitalized to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed estimated net realizable value.

14

Fair values for determining the value of collateral are estimated from various sources, such as real estate and equipment appraisals, financial statements, and from any other reliable sources of available information. For those loans deemed to be impaired, collateral value is reduced for the estimated costs to sell. Reductions of collateral value are based on historical loss experience, current market data, and any other source of reliable information specific to the collateral.

This analysis process is inherently subjective, as it requires us to make estimates that are susceptible to revisions as more information becomes available. Although we believe that we have established the allowance for loan losses at levels to absorb probable incurred losses, future additions may be necessary if economic or other conditions in the future differ from the current environment.

The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. None of our mortgage warehouse loans have been considered nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

(1) At December 31, 2013, $146,000 of one- to four-family residential loans, $54,000 commercial real estate loans, and $27,000 commercial loans were classified as nonaccruing troubled debt restructured loans. At December 31, 2012, $127,000 of one- to four-family residential loans; $648,000 commercial real estate loans; $29,000 commercial loans; and $38,000 automobile and other loans were classified as nonaccuring troubled debt restructured loans.

(2) At Decmeber 31, 2013, $1.9 million of commercial real estate loans, $58,000 of one- to four-family loans, and $32,000 of automobile and other loans were classified as accruing troubled debt restructured loans.

Total nonperforming loans decreased $3.4 million, or 41.3%, to $4.9 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in nonperforming loans was primarily due to the transfer of three commercial real estate loan relationships totaling $1.3 million, one commercial real estate and one- to four-family loan relationship totaling $390,000, and four one- to four-family relationships totaling $394,000 to other real estate owned during 2013. Also, two nonperforming commercial real estate loan relationships totaling $887,000 and one nonperforming one- to four-family loan relationship totaling $158,000 were repaid in full during 2013. Finally, three nonperforming one- to four-family and consumer relationships totaling $397,000 at December 31, 2012 were transferred back to accrual status during 2013.

Nonperforming commercial real estate and land loans totaled $3.6 million at December 31, 2013, of which $2.9 million was attributable to one loan relationship secured primarily by developed land with close proximity to Lake Michigan that was originally intended for residential use. We are currently receiving payments through a bankruptcy filing granted to this borrower.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, contractual gross interest income of $352,000 would have been recorded on non-performing loans if those loans had been current in accordance with their original terms and been outstanding throughout the year or since origination. For the year ended December 31, 2013, gross interest income that was recorded related to such non-performing loans totaled $75,000.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans. A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring if we grant a concession to the borrower and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. According to our current loan policy, loans with a risk grade of five or higher which are in the process of being renewed, refinanced, or modified are reviewed by the Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer or the Bank’s Officer Loan Committee, depending upon the amount of the loan, to determine if the loan should be considered a troubled debt restructuring. All other borrower-requested modifications are reviewed by the Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer to determine if the loan should be considered a troubled debt restructuring. These loans may also be reviewed by the Officer Loan Committee. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $2.2 million and $842,000, respectively, in loans classified as troubled debt restructurings. Of the total troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2013, $227,000 were on nonaccrual status and included $54,000 of commercial real estate loans, $146,000 of one- to four-family residential loans, and $27,000 of commercial loans. The remaining $2.0 million of our troubled debt restructurings were performing in accordance with their revised agreements and included $1.9 million of commercial real estate loans, $58,000 of one- to four-family residential loans, and $32,000 of automobile loans.

For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, gross interest income that would have been recorded had our nonperforming troubled debt restructurings been current in accordance with their original terms was $16,000 and $17,000, respectively. We did not record any gross interest income during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 related to our nonperforming troubled debt restructurings.

Delinquencies and Problem Assets. After a real estate secured loan becomes 15 days late, or 10 days for consumer and commercial loans, we deliver a computer generated late charge notice to the borrower and will attempt to contact the borrower by telephone to make arrangements for payment. We attempt to make satisfactory arrangements to bring the account current, including interviewing the borrower, until the loan is brought current or a determination is made to recommend foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or other appropriate action. After a loan becomes delinquent between 20 and 30 days or more, we will generally refer the matter to the Management Collections Committee, comprised of the Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, Assistant Vice President of Mortgage Warehousing, and the Collections Manager, which may authorize legal counsel to commence foreclosure proceedings.

All delinquent loans are reviewed on a regular basis and such loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become more than 90 days delinquent with the only exception being with matured loans in which full payment of principal and interest is expected. When loans are placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid accrued interest for the current year is reversed from interest income, any prior year unpaid accrued interest is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. Further income is recognized only to the extent received, if there is no risk of loss of principal, in which case all payments are applied to principal.

Classified Assets. Banking regulations and our Asset Classification Policy provide that loans and other assets considered to be of lesser quality should be classified as “substandard,” “doubtful,” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. We classify an asset as “special mention” if the asset has a potential weakness that warrants management’s close attention. While such assets are not impaired, management has concluded that if the potential weakness in the asset is not addressed, the value of the asset may deteriorate, thereby adversely affecting the repayment of the asset.

An institution is required to establish specific allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management for loans classified substandard or doubtful, as well as for other problem loans. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of the amount of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances are subject to review by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.

The loan portfolio is reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Not all classified assets constitute nonperforming assets.

18

On the basis of this review of our assets, we had classified or identified as special mention the following assets as of the date indicated:

	At December 31,
	2013		2012		2011
	(Dollars in thousands)
Special mention	$	7,995	$	11,404	$	17,741
Substandard	13,100		12,712		9,026
Doubtful	23		—		61
Loss	—		—		—
Total classified and special mention assets	$	21,118	$	24,116	$	26,828

On the basis of management’s review of our assets, at December 31, 2013, we identified approximately $8.0 million of our assets as special mention and classified $13.1 million as substandard and $23,000 as doubtful. Substandard loans increased $388,000 at December 31, 2013 when compared to December 31, 2012. The increase in substandard loans during 2013 was due to the downgrade from special mention to substandard during 2013 of two relationships totaling $3.8 million, which decreased special mention assets. Offsetting this increase in substandard loans was the transfer to other real estate owned properties of eight relationships totaling $2.1 million, the repayment in full of three relationships totaling $702,000, and the repayment of $321,000 and related charged-off of $58,000 of another relationship. In addition, special mention assets also decreased due to the repayment of one relationship totaling $1.5 million and the short sale of one relationship totaling $646,000, which we recognized a charge off of $102,000 which had been specifically reserved for during the third quarter of 2013. The decreases in special mention were partially offset by the 2013 identification of six relationships totaling $3.0 million as special mention.

Other than as provided above, there are no potential problem loans that are accruing but where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. All individually classified commercial and commercial real estate loans are evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.

We are subject to periodic examinations by our federal and state regulatory examiners and may be required by such regulators to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their assessment of credit information available to them at the time of their examinations. The process of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is necessarily subjective. Further, and particularly in times of economic weakness, it is reasonably possible that future credit losses may exceed historical loss levels and may also exceed management’s current estimates of incurred credit losses inherent within the loan portfolio. As such, there can be no assurance that future charge-offs will not exceed management’s current estimate of what constitutes a reasonable allowance for loan losses.

19

While management uses available information to recognize probable and reasonably estimable loan losses, future loss provisions may be necessary based on changing economic conditions. Payments received on impaired loans that are on nonaccrual are applied first to principal until there is no risk of loss of the principal. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and such losses were both probable and reasonably estimable.

The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for loan losses for the years indicated. We have not experienced any charge-offs or recoveries in our five or more family real estate loans or mortgage warehouse portfolio for the years indicated.

Securities Activities

Our securities investment policy was established by our Board of Directors. This policy dictates that investment decisions be made based on the safety of the investment, liquidity requirements, potential returns, cash flow targets, and consistency with our interest rate risk management strategy.

Our investment policy is reviewed annually by our Board of Directors, and all policy changes recommended by management must be approved by the Board. Authority to make investments under the approved guidelines are delegated to appropriate officers. While general investment strategies are developed and authorized by the Board, the execution of specific actions with respect to securities held by the Bank rests with the Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer who are authorized to execute investment transactions with respect to securities held by the Bank within the scope of the established investment policy.

We have retained an independent financial institution to provide us with portfolio accounting services related to our securities portfolio, including a monthly portfolio performance analysis. These reports, together with another quarterly third party review, are reviewed by management in making investment decisions. The Asset/Liability Management Committee and the Board of Directors review a summary of these reports on a monthly basis. We also use this financial institution along with other third party brokers to effect security purchases and sales.

On October 1, 2011, the Bank formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, LSB Investments, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“LSB Investments”) after receiving approval from the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. A significant portion of the Bank’s investment securities were transferred to and held by LSB Investments, consisting primarily of mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and agency securities and interest-earning time deposits. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of such securities held by LSB Investments was $64.0 million. In addition, at December 31, 2013, $4.4 million of interest-earning time deposits were also held by LSB Investments. Because LSB Investments is located in Nevada and makes decisions independently from the Bank, the earnings attributable on such securities are not taxable to us for Indiana state income tax purposes. Investment decisions with respect to LSB Investments are made by a third party company based in Nevada, The Key State Companies, who have performed such services for over 20 years for other financial institutions. In general, The Key State Companies utilize investment guidelines similar to ours. The Board of Directors of LSB Investments consists of two employees of The LaPorte Savings Bank and one employee of The Key State Companies to ensure effective oversight.

Our current investment policy generally permits security investments in debt securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, municipal bonds, and corporate debt obligations, as well as investments in common stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. The policy permits investments in mortgage-backed securities, including pass-through securities issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the U.S. Small Business Administration. In addition, we may invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”), Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (“REMICs”) and other mortgage-related products, corporate debt, interest-earning time deposits, and Community Reinvestment Act Qualified Investment Funds. The Company has established guidelines and limitations in certain sectors of the securities portfolio and any exceptions are reported to the Board of Directors. At December 31, 2013, there were no exceptions to these guidelines and limitations to report.

Our investment policy outlines the pre-purchase analysis, credit, and interest rate risk assessment guidelines and due diligence documentation required for all permissible investments. In addition, our policy requires management to routinely monitor the investment portfolio as well as the markets for changes which may have a material, negative impact on the credit of our holdings. We engage an independent third party to review municipal and corporate securities annually.

At the time of purchase, we designate a security as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent. Securities available-for-sale or trading are reported at fair value, while securities held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. All of our securities are classified as available-for-sale.

Some of our securities are callable by the issuer. Although these securities may have a yield somewhat higher than the yield of similar securities without such features, these securities are subject to the risk that they may be redeemed by the issuer prior to maturing in the event general interest rates decline. At December 31, 2013, we had $38.6 million of securities which were subject to redemption by the issuer prior to their stated maturity.

In part as a result of their attractive after tax yields, we have increased our acquisitions of state and municipal securities. Permissible municipal investments include both general obligation and revenue issues which are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization and for which a pre-purchase safety and soundness banking assessment is completed. Investment in local, state non-rated municipal securities are considered only after the creditworthiness of the issuer has been analyzed and determined to be a prudent, safe, and sound investment as outlined in the investment policy. We also invest in taxable municipal securities. At December 31, 2013, we held $5.6 million in taxable municipal securities.

We purchase mortgage-backed securities in order to generate positive interest rate spreads with limited administrative expense, limited credit risk, and significant liquidity. We also use mortgage-backed securities to supplement our lending activities. Mortgage-backed securities are created by pooling mortgages and issuing a security collateralized by the pool of mortgages with an interest rate that is less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, although most of our mortgage-backed securities are collateralized by single-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities (generally U.S. government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae) pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors, such as the Bank, and guarantee the payment of principal and interest to these investors. Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the cost of payment guarantees and credit enhancements. However, mortgage-backed securities are usually more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize borrowings and other liabilities.

Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual prepayments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such instruments, thereby affecting the net yield on such securities. We review prepayment estimates for our mortgage-backed securities at the time of purchase to ensure that prepayment assumptions are reasonable considering the underlying collateral for the securities at issue and current interest rates, and to determine the yield and estimated maturity of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Periodic reviews of current prepayment speeds are performed in order to ascertain whether prepayment estimates require modification that would cause amortization or accretion adjustments.

23

Collateralized mortgage obligations are also backed by mortgages; however, they differ from mortgage-backed securities because the principal and interest payments of the underlying mortgages are financially engineered to be paid to the security holders of pre-determined classes or tranches of these securities at a faster or slower pace. The receipt of these principal and interest payments, which depends on the proposed average life for each class, is contingent on a prepayment speed assumption assigned to the underlying mortgages. Variances between the assumed payment speed and actual payments can significantly alter the average lives of such securities. To quantify and mitigate this risk, we undertake a high level of payment analysis before purchasing these securities. We invest in collateralized mortgage obligations classes or tranches in which the payments on the underlying mortgages are passed along at a pace fast enough to provide an average life of two to five years with no change in market interest rates. At December 31, 2013, our collateralized mortgage obligations portfolio had a fair value of $72.3 million and were issued by either a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or the U.S. Small Business Administration.

We hold Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis common stock to qualify for membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to borrow funds under the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis advance program. There is no trading market for the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis stock. The aggregate carrying value of our Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis stock as of December 31, 2013 was $4.4 million based on its par value. No unrealized gains or losses have been recorded because we have determined that the par value of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis stock represents its carrying value. However, there can be no assurance that the value of such securities will not decline in the future. We owned shares of Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis stock at December 31, 2013 with a par value that was more than we were required to own to maintain our membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System and to be eligible to obtain advances. We are required to purchase additional stock if our outstanding advances increase.

We review equity and debt securities with significant declines in fair value on a periodic basis to determine whether they should be considered temporarily or other than temporarily impaired. In making these determinations, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost; (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions; and (4) our intent not to sell the security and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. For fixed maturity investments with unrealized losses due to interest rates where it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery, declines in value below cost are not assumed to be other than temporary. If a decline in the fair value of a security is determined to be other than temporary, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: (1) the portion of the other than temporary impairment that is related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement, and (2) the portion of the other than temporary impairment related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows to be expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. There were no charges related to other than temporary impairment on securities held by us during the year ended December 31, 2013 or the year ended December 31, 2012.

All of our securities are classified as available-for-sale. The following table sets forth the composition of our investment securities portfolio at the dates indicated.

At December 31, 2013, all of our mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and all of our collateralized mortgage obligations were issued by either U.S. government-sponsored enterprises or the U.S. Small Business Administration.

At December 31, 2013, we had no investments in a single entity (other than U.S. government or agency sponsored securities) that had an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our shareholders’ equity.

The composition and contractual maturities of the investment securities portfolio at December 31, 2013 are summarized in the following table. Mortgage-backed securities are anticipated to be repaid in advance of their contractual maturities as a result of projected mortgage loan prepayments. In addition, under the structure of some of our collateralized mortgage obligations, the short- and intermediate-tranche interests have repayment priority over the longer term tranches of the same underlying mortgage pool. Finally, some of our U.S. Treasury and other securities are callable at the option of the issuer.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits, borrowings, repayments and prepayments of loans and securities, proceeds from maturing securities, and cash flows from operations are the primary sources of our funds for use in lending, investing, and for other general purposes.

Deposits. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Our deposit accounts consist of savings accounts, health savings accounts, NOW accounts, checking accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). We also provide commercial checking accounts for businesses.

At December 31, 2013, our deposits totaled $346.7 million. Interest-bearing NOW, regular, and other savings and money market deposits totaled $177.9 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, we had a total of $117.8 million in certificates of deposit and IRAs. Noninterest bearing demand deposits totaled $51.0 million. A significant portion of our deposits are liquid money market accounts ($62.9 million at December 31, 2013). We monitor activity on these accounts and, based on our historical experience and our current pricing strategy, we believe we will maintain a large portion of these accounts in the near future. However, $34.2 million of these money market accounts are public fund deposits at December 31, 2013, which may be withdrawn with little notice.

25

Our deposits are obtained predominantly from the areas in which our branch offices are located. We rely on our favorable locations, customer service, and competitive pricing to attract and retain these deposits. While we accept certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000 for which we may provide preferential rates, we generally do not solicit such deposits as they are more difficult to retain than core deposits. At December 31, 2013, we held $24.0 million in brokered certificates of deposits through the Certificate of Deposit Registry Service (“CDARS”) program and pre-approved brokers. During the fourth quarter of 2009, we acquired $10.8 million in floating rate CDARS funds and entered into a $10.3 million fixed rate interest rate swap for five years in order to address the potential for rising interest rates. During the third quarter of 2010, we acquired $5.3 million in fixed rate individual time deposit accounts through a pre-approved broker. These time deposits will mature in September 2020, however, they have the option to be called monthly beginning on September 15, 2012. We also entered into a $5.0 million variable rate fair value swap with matching maturity and call terms to these individual time deposits. On September 15, 2012, the fair value swap was called resulting in the Bank calling these time deposits as well. As of December 31, 2013, all of our brokered certificates of deposit were purchased through CDARS. Brokered certificates of deposits are purchased only through CDARS and pre-approved brokers.

Borrowings

From time to time during recent years, we have utilized short-term borrowings to fund loan demand. We have also used borrowings where market conditions permit us to purchase securities of a similar duration in order to increase our net interest income by the amount of the spread between the asset yield and the borrowing cost. Finally, from time to time, we have obtained advances with terms of three years or more to extend the term of our liabilities.

We may obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLB”) collateralized by our investment in FHLB capital stock and certain of our mortgage, home equity, and commercial real estate loans and mortgage-backed securities. Such advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. To the extent such borrowings have different maturities or repricing terms than our deposits, our interest rate risk profile may change.

Our borrowings consist of advances and overnight borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis totaling $86.8 million at December 31, 2013. Based on our current FHLB stock ownership, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had access to additional FHLB advances of up to $223,000 and $26.8 million, respectively. We also had access at December 31, 2013 and 2012 to additional overnight borrowings of up to $3.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, at the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) discount window and access to additional short term borrowings of up to $15.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, at First Tennessee Bank. If we increased our ownership in FHLB stock to the maximum allowable and increased our pledged collateral accordingly, we could borrow an additional $12.5 million from the FHLB at December 31, 2013. We also have an agreement with Zions First National Bank to borrow federal funds up to $9.0 million. At December 31, 2013, we had $2.4 million outstanding on our line with Zions First National Bank.

The following table sets forth information concerning balances and interest rates on our borrowings at the dates and for the periods indicated. For additional information, see Notes 9 and 10 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2007, the Company assumed subordinated debentures as a result of the City Savings Financial Corporation acquisition. In 2003, City Savings Financial Corporation formed the City Savings Bank Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”) and the trust issued 5,000 floating Trust Preferred Securities (the “Securities”) with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per preferred security in a private placement to an offshore entity for an aggregate offering price of $5,000,000. The proceeds of the $5,000,000 were used by the Trust to purchase $5,155,000 in Floating Rate Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) from City Savings Financial Corporation. The Debentures and Securities have a term of 30 years and carry an interest rate adjusted quarterly of three month LIBOR plus 3.10%. At December 31, 2013, this rate was 3.35%.

27

On April 15, 2009, the Company executed an interest rate swap against the $5.0 million floating rate debentures for five years at an effective fixed rate of 5.54%.

In addition, during February 2009, The LaPorte Savings Bank issued a $5.0 million note due February 15, 2012 under the FDIC Temporary Debt Guarantee Program. The note bore an interest rate of 2.74% in addition to the 100 basis point FDIC guarantee fee paid by The LaPorte Savings Bank. All legal and placement fees associated with this transaction were capitalized as debt issuance costs and were amortized to interest expense over the repayment period. This note was paid in full on February 15, 2012.

In February 2010, The LaPorte Savings Bank executed two interest rate swaps against $15.0 million in maturing FHLB advances. The first interest rate swap was against a $10.0 million adjustable rate advance tied to the three month LIBOR plus 0.25% for six years at an effective fixed rate of 3.69% and began in July 2010. The second interest rate swap was against a $5.0 million adjustable rate advance tied to the three month LIBOR plus 0.22% for five years with an effective fixed rate of 3.54% and began in September 2010.

Subsidiary Activities

The Company has three subsidiaries, The LaPorte Savings Bank; City Savings Statutory Trust I; and LSB Risk Management LLC, a Nevada corporation established through a $250,000 capital contribution in December 2013 to participate in a pooled captive insurance company. LSB Risk Management LLC provides the Company and all of its subsidiaries with additional insurance coverage that includes coverage for insurance deductibles related to our current insurance policies. The insurance premiums paid by the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized as premium income at LSB Risk Management LLC. The LaPorte Savings Bank has one subsidiary, LSB Investments, Inc. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company established LSB Real Estate, Inc. which is a subsidiary of LSB Investments, Inc. LSB Real Estate, Inc. invests primarily in assets originated by The LaPorte Savings Bank which are secured by residential or commercial real estate properties.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, we had 103 full-time employees and 13 part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that we have good working relations with our employees.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

The LaPorte Savings Bank is an Indiana-chartered savings bank that is regulated, examined, and supervised by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund and depositors, and not for the protection of security holders. Under this system of state and federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market interest rates. The Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”) governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. The FDIC and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions examine the Bank and prepares reports for the consideration of its Board of Directors on any operating deficiencies. The Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a much lesser extent, state law, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of the Bank’s loan documents. The Bank is also a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System.

As a savings and loan holding company, the Company is required to comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. It is required to file certain reports with and is subject to examination by and the enforcement authority of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

Any change in applicable laws or regulations, whether by the FDIC, the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, the Federal Reserve Board or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and the Bank and their operations.

28

Set forth below is a brief description of material regulatory requirements that are applicable to the Bank and the Company. The description is limited to certain material aspects of the statutes and regulations addressed and is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on the Bank and the Company.

Dodd-Frank Act

The Dodd-Frank Act significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and is affecting the lending, investment, trading and operating activities of depository institutions and their holding companies. As of July 21, 2011, the Federal Reserve Board assumed regulatory jurisdiction from the Office of Thrift Supervision over savings and loan holding companies, such as the Company, in addition to its role of supervising bank holding companies.

The Dodd-Frank Act also created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with expansive powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets, such as the Bank, will continue to be examined by their applicable federal bank regulators for compliance with such regulations. The legislation gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.

The Dodd-Frank Act also broadened the base for FDIC assessments for deposit insurance and permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance to $250,000. The legislation also, among other things, requires originators of certain securitized loans to retain a portion of the credit risk, stipulates regulatory rate-setting for certain debit card interchange fees, repealed restrictions on the payment of interest on commercial demand deposits and contains a number of reforms related to mortgage originations. The Dodd-Frank Act increased shareholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give shareholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.

The Dodd-Frank Act contained the so-called “Volcker Rule,” which generally prohibits banking organizations from engaging in proprietary trading and from investing in, sponsoring or having certain relationships with hedge or private equity funds (“covered funds”). On December 13, 2013, federal agencies issued a final rule implementing the Volcker Rule which, among other things, requires banking organizations to restructure and limit certain of their investments in and relationships with covered funds.

In addition, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has finalized a rule implementing the “Ability to Pay” requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. The regulations generally require creditors to make a reasonable, good faith determination as to a borrower’s ability to repay most residential mortgage loans. The final rule establishes a safe harbor for certain “Qualified Mortgages,” which contain certain features deemed less risky and omit certain other characteristics considered to enhance risk. The Ability to Repay final rules were effective January 1, 2014.

Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to delayed effective dates and/or require the issuance of implementing regulations. Their impact on operations cannot yet fully be assessed. However, there is a significant possibility that the Dodd-Frank Act will, in the long run, increase regulatory burden, compliance costs and interest expense for the Bank and the Company.

As an Indiana-chartered savings bank, the Bank is subject to federal regulation and supervision by the FDIC and to state regulation and supervision by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.

Both federal and Indiana law extensively regulate various aspects of the banking business such as reserve requirements, truth-in-lending and truth-in-savings disclosures, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting, trading in securities and other aspects of banking operations. Current federal law also requires savings banks, among other things, to make deposited funds available within specified time periods.

Under FDIC regulations, an insured state-chartered bank, such as the Bank, is prohibited from making equity investments that are not permissible for national banks. Such a savings bank is also prohibited from engaging as principal in activities that are not permitted for national banks, unless: (i) the FDIC determines that the activity would pose no significant risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund and (ii) the Bank is, and continues to be, in compliance with all applicable capital standards.

29

Branching and Interstate Banking

The establishment of branches by the Bank is subject to approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and FDIC and geographic limits established by state laws. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Riegle-Neal Act”), as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act, facilitates the interstate expansion and consolidation of banking organizations by permitting, among other things, (i) bank holding companies that are adequately capitalized and managed to acquire banks located in states outside their home state regardless of whether such acquisitions are authorized under the law of the host state, (ii) the interstate merger of banks, subject to the right of individual states to have “opted out” of this authority, and (iii) banks to establish new branches on an interstate basis provided that the proposed branch would be permitted for a state bank chartered in the target state.

Loans-to-One-Borrower

We generally may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of our unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which is defined to include certain financial instruments and bullion, but generally does not include real estate. As of December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with our loans-to-one-borrower limitations.

Standards for Safety and Soundness

Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe for insured depository institutions under its jurisdiction standards relating to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, employee compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. The federal banking agencies adopted Interagency Guidelines Prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness to implement the safety and soundness standards required under federal law. The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to submit or implement an acceptable plan, the appropriate federal banking agency may issue an enforceable order requiring correction of the deficiencies.

Capital Requirements

Under FDIC regulations, state chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System, such as the Bank, are required to maintain a minimum leverage capital requirement consisting of a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of 3% if the FDIC determines that the institution is not anticipating or experiencing significant growth and has well-diversified risk, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent asset quality, high liquidity, good earnings, and in general, is a strong banking organization, rated composite 1 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System (the CAMELS rating system) established by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. For all but the most highly rated institutions meeting the conditions set forth above, the minimum leverage capital ratio is at least 4%. Tier 1 capital is the sum of common shareholders’ equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (including any related surplus) and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets (other than certain mortgage servicing assets, purchased credit card relationships, credit-enhancing interest-only strips and certain deferred tax assets), identified losses, investments in certain financial subsidiaries and non-financial equity investments.

In addition to the leverage capital ratio (the ratio of Tier I capital to total assets), state chartered nonmember banks must maintain a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%, of which at least half must be Tier 1 capital. Qualifying total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital (also referred to as supplementary capital) items. Tier 2 capital items include allowances for loan losses in an amount of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, cumulative preferred stock and preferred stock with a maturity of over 20 years, certain other capital instruments and up to 45% of pre-tax net unrealized holding gains on equity securities. The includable amount of Tier 2 capital cannot exceed the institution’s Tier 1 capital. Qualifying total capital is further reduced by the amount of the bank’s investments in banking and finance subsidiaries that are not consolidated for regulatory capital purposes, reciprocal cross-holdings of capital securities issued by other banks, most intangible assets and certain other deductions. Under the FDIC risk-weighted system, all of a bank’s balance sheet assets and the credit equivalent amounts of certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of four broad risk-weight categories from 0% to 100%, based on the risks inherent in the type of assets or item. The aggregate dollar amount of each category is multiplied by the risk weight assigned to that category. The sum of these weighted values equals the bank’s risk-weighted assets.

At December 31, 2013, the Bank met each of its capital requirements.

30

In July 2013, the FDIC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a uniform leverage ratio requirement of 4% of total assets, provides for a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The final rule also implements the Dodd-Frank Act’s directive to apply to savings and loan holding companies consolidated capital requirements that are not less stringent than those applicable to their subsidiary institutions. The final rule is effective January 1, 2015. The “capital conservation buffer” will be phased in from January 1, 2016 to January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer will be effective.

Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action

Under the federal prompt corrective action statute, the FDIC is required to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings institutions under its jurisdiction, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s level of capital. A savings institution that has total risk-based capital of less than 8% or a leverage ratio or a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that generally is less than 4% is considered to be undercapitalized. A savings institution that has total risk-based capital less than 6%, a Tier 1 core risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be “significantly undercapitalized.” A savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.”

Generally a receiver or conservator must be appointed for a savings institution that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the FDIC within 45 days of the date a savings institution receives notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” Any holding company for the savings institution required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee the lesser of an amount equal to 5% of the savings institution’s assets at the time it was notified or deemed to be undercapitalized by the FDIC, or the amount necessary to restore the savings institution to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the FDIC notifies the savings institution that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters, and the FDIC has the authority to require payment and collect payment under the guarantee. Various restrictions, such as on capital distributions and growth, also apply to “undercapitalized” institutions. The FDIC may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized institutions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.

In connection with the final capital rule described earlier, the federal banking agencies have adopted amendments, effective January 1, 2015, to the prompt corrective action framework. The various categories will be revised to incorporate the new common equity capital requirement as well as the increases in the tier 1 to risk-based capital requirement.

Capital Distributions

Under Indiana law, the Bank may pay capital distributions of so much of its undivided profits (generally, earnings less losses, bad debts, taxes and other operating expenses) as is considered expedient by the Bank’s board. However, the Bank must obtain the approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions for the payment of a capital distribution if the total of all distributions declared by the Bank during the current year, including the proposed distribution, would exceed the sum of retained net income for the year to date plus its retained net income for the previous two years. For this purpose, “retained net income” means net income as calculated for call report purposes, less all dividends declared for the applicable period. Also, the FDIC has the authority to prohibit the Bank from paying a capital distribution if, in its opinion, the payment of the distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the Bank. Capital distributions are also prohibited if the institution would fail any regulatory capital requirement after the distribution. In addition, as a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, the Bank must file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the board declares a capital distribution and receive the Federal Reserve Board’s non-objection to pay the dividend.

31

Transactions with Related Parties

A savings institution’s authority to engage in transactions with related parties or “affiliates” is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulation, Federal Reserve Board Regulation W. The term “affiliate” generally means any company that controls or is under common control with an institution, including the Company and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Applicable law limits the aggregate amount of “covered” transactions with any individual affiliate, including loans to the affiliate, to 10% of the capital and surplus of the savings institution. The aggregate amount of covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the savings institution’s capital and surplus. Certain covered transactions with affiliates, such as loans to or guarantees issued on behalf of affiliates, are required to be secured by specified amounts of collateral. Purchasing low quality assets from affiliates is generally prohibited. Regulation W also provides that transactions with affiliates, including covered transactions, must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited by law from lending to any affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and no savings institution may purchase the securities of any affiliate other than a subsidiary.

Our authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors and 10% or greater shareholders (“insiders”), as well as entities controlled by these persons, is governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing regulation, the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation O. Among other things, loans to insiders must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. There is an exception for bank-wide lending programs that do not discriminate in favor of insiders. Regulation O also places individual and aggregate limits on the amount of loans that may be made to insiders based, in part, on the institution’s capital position, and requires that certain prior board approval procedures be followed. Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be made. At December 31, 2013, we were in compliance with these regulations.

Enforcement

The Indiana Department of Financial Institutions has authority to take a variety of actions to enforce applicable laws and regulations and prevent unsafe or unsound practices. These include authority to issue cease and desist orders and civil penalties. The Indiana Department of Financial Institutions also has the authority to appoint a receiver or conservator for Indiana-chartered savings banks under certain circumstances. The FDIC has primary federal enforcement responsibility over Indiana-chartered savings banks, including the authority to bring enforcement action against “institution-related parties,” such as officers, directors, certain shareholders, and attorneys, appraisers and accountants, who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution, receivership, conservatorship or the termination of deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1.0 million per day.

Deposit Insurance

The Bank is a member of the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is administered by the FDIC. Deposit accounts in the Bank are insured up to a maximum of $250,000 for each separately insured depositor.

The FDIC imposes an assessment for deposit insurance on all depository institutions. Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels and certain other factors. An institution’s assessment rate depends upon the category to which it is assigned and certain adjustments specified by FDIC regulations, with less risky institutions paying lower rates. Assessment rates (inclusive of possible adjustments) currently range from 2¹/2 to 45 basis points of each institution’s total assets less tangible capital. The FDIC may increase or decrease the scale uniformly, except that no adjustment can deviate more than two basis points from the base scale without notice and comment rulemaking. The FDIC’s current system represents a change, required by the Dodd-Frank Act, from its prior practice of basing the assessment on an institution’s volume of deposits.

In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation is authorized to impose and collect, through the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs and custodial fees on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the Financing Corporation are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the annualized Financing Corporation assessment was equal to 64 basis points of total assets less tangible capital.

32

The Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum target Deposit Insurance Fund ratio from 1.15% of estimated insured deposits to 1.35% of estimated insured deposits. The FDIC must seek to achieve the 1.35% ratio by September 30, 2020. Insured institutions with assets of $10 billion or more are supposed to fund the increase. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the 1.5% maximum fund ratio, instead leaving it to the discretion of the FDIC and the FDIC has exercised that discretion by establishing a long-term fund ratio of 2%.

The FDIC has authority to increase insurance assessments. Any significant increases would have an adverse effect on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. Management cannot predict what assessment rates will be in the future.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. Management of the Bank does not know of any practice, condition or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, we are required to acquire and hold a specified amount of shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws

Savings institutions have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. An institution’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in an inability to receive regulatory approval for certain activities such as branching and acquisitions. The Bank received a “Satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent examination.

Other Regulations

Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by the Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. The Bank’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

• Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

• Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, requiring that borrowers for mortgage loans for one- to four-family residential real estate receive various disclosures, including good faith estimates of settlement costs, lender servicing and escrow account practices, and prohibiting certain practices that increase the cost of settlement services;

• Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

• Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

• Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;

• Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;

• Truth in Savings Act; and

• Rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

33

The operations of the Bank also are subject to the:

• Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

• Electronic Funds Transfer Act, which governs automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services;

• Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check;

• The USA PATRIOT Act, which requires banks and savings institutions to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs and due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement pre-existing compliance requirements that apply to financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and

• The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties and requires all financial institutions offering products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and allow such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

Holding Company Regulation

The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board, which replaced the Office of Thrift Supervision in that capacity due to the Dodd-Frank Act regulatory restructuring. The Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over the Company and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, that authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a risk to the Bank.

As a savings and loan holding company, the Company’s activities are limited to those activities permissible by law for financial holding companies, bank holding companies under section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. Such activities include lending activities, insurance and underwriting equity securities. A savings and loan holding company must elect such status in order to engage in activities permissible for a financial holding company, meet the qualitative requirements for a bank holding company to qualify as a financial holding company and conduct the activities in accordance with the requirements that would apply to a financial holding company’s conduct of the activity. In December 2013, the Company elected financial holding company status in order to establish its wholly-owned subsidiary, LSB Risk Management, LLC, which was formed to participate in a pooled captive insurance company.

Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company without prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board and from acquiring or retaining control of any depository not insured by the FDIC. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider such things as the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors. An acquisition by a savings and loan holding company of a savings institution in another state to be held as a separate subsidiary may not be approved unless it is a supervisory acquisition under Section 13(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or the law of the state in which the target is located authorizes such acquisitions by out-of-state companies.

To be regulated as a savings and loan holding company by the Federal Reserve Board, we are required to satisfy a qualified thrift lender (“QTL”) test, under which we either must qualify as a “domestic building and loan” association as defined by the Internal Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of our “portfolio assets” in “qualified thrift investments.” “Qualified thrift investments” consist primarily of residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed and related securities. “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets less specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets and the value of property used to conduct business. A savings institution that fails the QTL test must operate under specified restrictions. The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test also subject to agency enforcement action for a violation of law. As of December 31, 2013, we maintained 69.4% of our portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, we met the qualified thrift lender test.

34

Savings and loan holding companies have not historically been subjected to consolidated regulatory capital requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, required the FRB to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of components of capital, than those applicable to their subsidiary depository institutions. Instruments such as cumulative preferred stock and trust-preferred securities, which are currently includable within Tier 1 capital by bank holding companies within certain limits, would no longer be includable as Tier 1 capital, subject to certain grandfathering. The previously discussed final rule regarding regulatory capital requirements implements the Dodd-Frank Act as to savings and loan holding companies. Consolidated regulatory capital requirements identical to those applicable to the subsidiary depository institutions will apply to savings and loan holding companies as of January 1, 2015. As is the case with institutions themselves, the capital conservation buffer will be phased in between 2016 and 2019.

The Dodd-Frank Act extends the “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies. The Federal Reserve Board promulgated regulations implementing the “source of strength” policy that requires holding companies act as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.

The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies that it has made applicable to savings and loan holding companies as well. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends’ previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. The policy statement also provides for regulatory consultation prior to a holding company redeeming or repurchasing regulatory capital instruments when the holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock that would result in a net reduction as of the end of a quarter in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of the Company to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

Federal Securities Laws

The Company’s common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of common stock issued in the Company’s public offering does not cover the resale of those shares. Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not affiliates of the Company may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by an affiliate of the Company will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. If the Company meets the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate of the Company that complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliate’s sale to be aggregated with those of other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of 1% of the outstanding shares of the Company, or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. In the future, the Company may permit affiliates to have their shares registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting. We have existing policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with these regulations, and we are further enhancing and documenting such policies, procedures and systems to ensure continued compliance with these regulations.

35

Change in Control Regulations

Under the Change in Bank Control Act, no person may acquire control of a savings and loan holding company such as the Company unless the Federal Reserve Board has been given 60 days’ prior written notice and has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition. Control, as defined under federal law, means ownership, control of or holding irrevocable proxies representing more than 25% of any class of voting stock, control in any manner of the election of a majority of the institution’s directors, or a determination by the regulator that the acquiror has the power to direct, or directly or indirectly to exercise a controlling influence over, the management or policies of the institution. Acquisition of more than 10% of any class of a savings and loan holding company’s voting stock constitutes a rebuttable determination of control under the regulations under certain circumstances including where, as is the case with the Company, the issuer has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

TAXATION

The Company and the Bank are subject to income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal and state taxation is intended only to summarize certain pertinent income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the Company, or the Bank.

Federal Taxation

General. The Bank’s federal tax returns are not currently under audit, and have not been audited during the past five years.

Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, the Company currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31 for filing its federal and state income tax returns.

Bad Debt Reserves. Prior to 1996, savings institutions that qualified were permitted to use certain favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. Pursuant to the Small Business Protection Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”), savings institutions were required to recapture any excess reserves over those established as of October 31, 1988 (base year reserve).

At December 31, 2013, our total federal pre-1988 base year reserve was $2.7 million. However, under current law, pre-1988 base year reserves remain subject to recapture should the Bank make certain non-dividend distributions, repurchase any of its stock, pay dividends in excess of tax earnings and profits, or cease to maintain a bank charter.

Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences (“alternative minimum taxable income” or “AMTI”). The AMT is payable to the extent such AMTI is in excess of an exemption amount and the AMT exceeds the regular income tax. Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of AMTI. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years.

Net Operating Loss Carryovers. A financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. At December 31, 2013, the Bank had no net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

Capital Loss Carryovers. A financial institution may carry back capital losses to the preceding three taxable years and forward to the succeeding five taxable years. At December 31, 2013, the Bank had $1.9 million in capital loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes expiring in 2014.

Corporate Dividends-Received Deduction.The Company may exclude from its income 100% of dividends received from the Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations. The corporate dividends received deduction is 80% in the case of dividends received from corporations in which a corporate recipient owns more than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend, and corporations which own less than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend may deduct only 70% of dividends received or accrued on their behalf.

36

State Taxation

As a Maryland business corporation, the Company is required to file an annual report with and pay franchise taxes to the state of Maryland. The Company also pays tax in various states in which it operates.

The Bank is subject to Indiana’s Financial Institutions Tax (“FIT”), which is imposed at a flat rate of 8.5% on “adjusted gross income,” which for purposes of FIT, begins with taxable income as defined by Section 63 of the Code and, thus, incorporates federal tax law to the extent that it affects the computation of taxable income. Federal taxable income is then adjusted by several Indiana modifications. Other applicable state taxes include generally applicable sales and use taxes plus real and personal property taxes.

In the last five years, the Bank’s state income tax returns have not been subject to any other examination by a taxing authority.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

A significant portion of our loans are commercial loans, consisting of commercial real estate, five or more family and commercial business loans, which carry greater credit risk than loans secured by owner occupied one- to four-family real estate.

At December 31, 2013, $116.8 million, or 39.3% of our loan portfolio, consisted of commercial real estate, five or more family and commercial business loans. We intend to increase our commercial lending in future periods. Given their larger balances and the complexity of the underlying collateral, commercial real estate, five or more family and commercial business loans generally expose a lender to greater credit risk than loans secured by owner occupied one- to four-family real estate. These loans also have greater credit risk than residential real estate for the following reasons:

• commercial real estate loans—repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover operating expenses and debt service.

• five or more family loans – repayment is dependent on income being generated in amounts sufficient to cover property maintenance and debt service.

• commercial business loans—repayment is generally dependent upon the successful operation of the borrower’s business.

If loans that are collateralized by real estate or other business assets become troubled and the value of the collateral has been significantly impaired, then we may not be able to recover the full contractual amount of principal and interest that we anticipated at the time we originated the loan, which could cause us to increase our provision for loan losses and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Because our mortgage warehousing line of business produces a significant portion of our interest income, the loss of such income due to increased competition, the loss of key personnel, or a reduction in volume of originations would negatively affect our net income.

We operate a mortgage warehousing line of business. Under this program, we provide financing to approved mortgage companies for the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans. Each individual mortgage is assigned to us until the loan is sold to the secondary market by the mortgage company. We take possession of each original note and forward such note to the end investor once the mortgage company has sold the loan. For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest income (including fees) from mortgage warehouse lending totaled $5.1 million, or 29.2%, of total interest income.

Competition in mortgage warehouse lending has increased on a national level as new lenders, especially community and regional banks, have begun entering the mortgage warehouse business. If increased competition occurs and our mortgage warehousing line of business declines, we would be forced to invest our funds in potentially lower yielding interest earning assets which would negatively affect our earnings. The competition for qualified personnel in the financial services industry is intense, and the loss of key personnel in our mortgage warehousing line of business, such as our Senior Vice President/Mortgage Warehouse Lending, could adversely affect our business. In addition, if interest rates rise, the demand for residential mortgage loans could decline, and as a result, our mortgage warehousing line of business could decline, which would adversely affect our net income.

37

If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings will decrease.

We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loans and our loss and delinquency experience and we evaluate economic conditions. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our allowance. While our allowance for loan losses was $3.9 million, or 1.31%, of total loans at December 31, 2013, material additions to our allowance could materially decrease our net income. In addition, bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities might have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The LaPorte Savings Bank’s reliance on public funds and brokered deposits could adversely affect its liquidity and operating results.

Among other sources of funds, The LaPorte Savings Bank relies on public funds and brokered deposits to provide funds with which to make loans and provide for its other liquidity needs. On December 31, 2013, public funds and brokered deposits amounted to $63.9 million and $24.0 million, or 18.4% and 6.9%, respectively, of total deposits. All of the public funds deposits at December 31, 2013 were multiple deposit relationships with local public entities within LaPorte and Porter Counties of Indiana. Public funds often fluctuate based on the municipalities' liquidity needs as well as interest rates paid. All of the brokered deposits are from CDARS, a brokered deposit network that allows members to mitigate the liquidity risk related to brokered deposits. Generally public funds and brokered deposits may not be as stable as other types of deposits. In the future, those depositors may not replace their deposits when they mature, or The LaPorte Savings Bank may have to pay a higher rate of interest to keep those deposits or to replace them with other deposits or with funds from other sources. Not being able to maintain or replace those deposits as they mature would adversely affect The LaPorte Savings Bank’s liquidity. Paying higher deposit rates to maintain or replace those deposits would adversely affect The LaPorte Savings Bank’s net interest margin and its operating results.

Changing interest rates may hurt our profits and asset values.

Our ability to make a profit largely depends on our net interest income, which could be negatively affected by changes in interest rates. Net interest income is the difference between:

• the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities; and

• the interest expense we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings.

Our liabilities generally have shorter maturities than our assets. This imbalance can create significant earnings volatility as market interest rates change. In periods of rising interest rates, the interest income earned on our assets may not increase as rapidly as the interest paid on our liabilities, resulting in a decline in our net interest income. In periods of declining interest rates, our net interest income is generally positively affected although such positive effects may be reduced or eliminated by prepayments of loans and redemptions of callable securities. In addition, when long-term interest rates are not significantly higher than short-term rates a “flat” yield curve is created and the Company’s interest rate spread may decrease thus reducing net interest income. Finally, federal initiatives designed to reduce mortgage interest rates may reduce our loan income without a corresponding reduction in funding costs, thus decreasing our spreads. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Management of Interest Rate Risk.”

Changes in interest rates also affect the current market value of our interest-earning securities portfolio. Generally, the value of securities moves inversely with changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of our securities classified as available for sale totaled $164.3 million. Unrealized net losses on available-for-sale securities totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2013 and are reported, net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. However, a rise in interest rates could cause a decrease in the fair value of securities available for sale in future periods which would have an adverse effect on shareholders’ equity.

Depending on market conditions, we often place more emphasis on enhancing our net interest margin rather than matching the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. In particular, we believe that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of our asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of stable or declining interest rates provide high enough returns to justify increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates. As a result, our results of operations, net interest margin and the economic value of our equity will remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to declines in the difference between long- and short-term rates.

38

Income from secondary mortgage market operations is volatile, and we may incur losses or charges with respect to our secondary mortgage market operations which would negatively affect our earnings.

We generally sell in the secondary market the longer term fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that we originate, earning noninterest income in the form of gains on sale. When interest rates rise, the demand for mortgage loans tends to fall and may reduce the number of loans available for sale. In addition to interest rate levels, weak or deteriorating economic conditions also tend to reduce loan demand. Although we sell loans in the secondary market without recourse, we are required to give customary representations and warranties to the buyers. If we breach those representations and warranties, the buyers can require us to repurchase the loans and we may incur a loss on the repurchase. Because we retain the servicing rights on many loans we sell in the secondary market, we are required to record a mortgage servicing right asset, which we test quarterly for impairment. The value of mortgage servicing rights tend to increase with rising interest rates and to decrease with falling interest rates. If we are required to take an impairment charge, that would hurt our earnings.

We could potentially recognize goodwill impairment charges, which may negatively impact our results of operations.

In connection with our acquisition of City Savings Financial Corporation, we recorded goodwill equaling $8.4 million. The Company annually measures the fair value of its investment in The LaPorte Savings Bank to determine that such fair value equals or exceeds the carrying value of its investment, including goodwill. If the fair value of our investment in The LaPorte Savings Bank does not equal or exceed its carrying value, we will be required to record goodwill impairment charges which may adversely affect future earnings. The fair value of a banking franchise can fluctuate downward based on a number of factors that are beyond management’s control, (e.g. adverse trends in the general economy or interest rates). As a result of impairment testing performed as of October 31, 2013, no impairment charge was recorded by the Company. However, as our market price per share is currently trading below its tangible book value per common share, it is reasonably possible that management may conclude that goodwill is impaired in a future assessment. There can be no assurance that our banking franchise value will not decline in the future to a level necessitating goodwill impairment charges to operations that could be material to our results of operations.

Historically low interest rates may adversely affect our net interest income and profitability.

In recent years it has been the policy of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain interest rates at historically low levels through its targeted federal funds rate and the purchase of mortgage-backed securities. As a result, market rates on the loans we have originated and the yields on securities we have purchased have been at lower levels than available prior to 2008. This has been a significant factor in the decrease in the yield of our interest-earning assets to 3.97% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 4.59% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our ability to lower our interest expense is limited at these interest rate levels while the average yield on our interest-earning assets may continue to decrease. The Federal Reserve Board has indicated its intention to maintain low interest rates in the near future. Accordingly, our net interest income (the difference between interest income earned on assets and interest expense paid on liabilities) may be adversely affected and may even decrease, which may have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Negative developments in the financial industry and the domestic and international credit markets may adversely affect our operations and results.

Since the latter half of 2008, negative developments in the global credit and securitization markets have resulted in uncertainty in the financial markets and a general weak economic environment which has continued into 2013. The economic downturn was accompanied by deteriorated loan portfolio quality at many institutions, including The LaPorte Savings Bank. In addition, the value of real estate collateral supporting many home mortgages has declined and may continue to decline. Bank and bank holding company stock prices have been negatively affected, as has the ability of banks and bank holding companies to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets. These negative developments, along with the turmoil and uncertainties that have accompanied them, have heavily influenced the formulation and enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act. In addition to the many future implementing rules and regulations of the Dodd-Frank Act, the potential exists for other new federal or state laws and regulations regarding lending and funding practices, capital requirements and liquidity standards to be enacted. Bank regulatory agencies are expected to continue to be active in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations. Negative developments in the financial industry and the domestic and international credit markets, and the impact of new legislation in response to those developments, may negatively impact our operations by increasing our costs, restricting our business operations, including our ability to originate or sell loans, and adversely impact our financial performance. In addition, these risks could affect the value of our loan portfolio as well as the value of our investment portfolio, which would also negatively affect our financial performance.

39

Adverse conditions in the local economy or real estate market could hurt our profits.

Our local economy may affect our future growth possibilities and operations in our primary market area. Our future growth opportunities depend on the growth and stability of our regional economy and our ability to expand in our market area. Although we have expanded into the St. Joseph, Michigan market and increased lending in other contiguous counties surrounding our market area, a majority of our loans are to customers in LaPorte and Porter counties, Indiana, with the exception of our warehouse lending customers. Continued adverse conditions or minimal improvement in our local economy may limit funds available for deposit and may negatively affect our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans on a timely basis, both of which could have an impact on our profitability. Also, a decline in real estate valuations in this market would lower the value of the collateral securing our loans.

Slow growth in our market area has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our performance.

Economic and population growth within our market area has for several decades been below the national average. Management believes that these factors have adversely affected our profitability and our ability to increase our loans and deposits. Our acquisition of City Savings Financial Corporation facilitated our entrance into the Michigan City and Chesterton, Indiana markets, which are growing more rapidly than eastern LaPorte County. However, these markets have experienced a significant decline in real estate values and economic activity as a result of the weak economic environment that began in 2008. According to the Greater Northwest Indiana Association of Realtors, the average sales price of homes in LaPorte and Porter Counties has decreased 13.7% and 15.2%, respectively from 2008 to 2013. The average sales price of homes in Southwest Michigan, which is the market area for our St. Joseph, Michigan, loan production office increased 3.5% from 2010 to 2013. The average sales price of commercial real estate properties in the cities of LaPorte and Michigan City, Indiana has remained steady from 2008 to 2013, primarily due to one large sale in LaPorte which helped to increase the average sales prices for 2012.

Financial reform legislation has, among other things, tightened capital standards and created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and will result in new laws and regulations that are expected to increase our costs of operations.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The federal agencies are given significant discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations, and consequently many of the details and much of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years.

Among other things, as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act:

• the Federal Reserve Board now supervises and regulates all savings and loan holding companies that were formerly regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision, including LaPorte Bancorp, Inc.;

• the federal prohibition on paying interest on demand deposits has been eliminated, thus allowing businesses to have interest-bearing checking accounts. This change has increased our interest expense;

• the Federal Reserve Board is required to set minimum capital levels for depository institution holding companies that are as stringent as those required for their insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of Tier 1 capital are required to be restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. New capital rules take effect on January 1, 2015;

• the federal banking regulators are required to implement new leverage and capital requirements that take into account off-balance sheet activities and other risks, including risks relating to securitized products and derivatives;

• a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been established, which has broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets, like The LaPorte Savings Bank, will be examined by their applicable bank regulators; and

• state attorneys general have the ability to enforce federal consumer protection laws.

In addition to the risks noted above, we expect that our operating and compliance costs, and possibly our interest expense, could increase as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act and the implementing rules and regulations. The need to comply with additional rules and regulations, will also divert management’s time from managing our operations. Higher capital levels would reduce our ability to grow and increase our interest-earning assets which would adversely affect our return on shareholders’ equity.

40

New regulations could restrict our ability to originate and sell loans.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has issued a rule designed to clarify for lenders how they can avoid legal liability under the Dodd-Frank Act, which would hold lenders accountable for ensuring a borrower’s ability to repay a mortgage. Loans that meet this “qualified mortgage” definition will be presumed to have complied with the new ability-to-repay standard. Under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s rule, a “qualified mortgage” loan must not contain certain specified features, including:

• excessive upfront points and fees (those exceeding 3% of the total loan amount, less “bona fide discount points” for prime loans);

• interest-only payments;

• negative-amortization; and

• terms longer than 30 years.

Also, to qualify as a “qualified mortgage,” a borrower’s total monthly debt-to-income ratio may not exceed 43%. Lenders must also verify and document the income and financial resources relied upon to qualify the borrower for the loan and underwrite the loan based on a fully amortizing payment schedule and maximum interest rate during the first five years, taking into account all applicable taxes, insurance and assessments. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s rule on qualified mortgages could limit our ability or desire to make certain types of loans or loans to certain borrowers, or could make it more expensive/and or time consuming to make these loans, which could limit our growth or profitability.

We will become subject to more stringent capital requirements, which may adversely impact our return on equity, require us to raise additional capital, or constrain us from paying dividends or repurchasing shares.

In July 2013, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board approved a new rule that will substantially amend the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to The LaPorte Savings Bank and LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. The final rule implements the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

The final rule includes new minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which will be effective for The LaPorte Savings Bank and LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. on January 1, 2015, and refines the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating these ratios. The new minimum capital requirements will be: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 6% (increased from 4%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The final rule also establishes a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5%, and will result in the following minimum ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7%, (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 8.5%, and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation buffer requirement would be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and would increase each year until fully implemented in January 2019. An institution will be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations will establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that can be utilized for such actions.

The application of more stringent capital requirements for The LaPorte Savings Bank and LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. could, among other things, result in lower returns on equity, require the raising of additional capital, and result in regulatory actions constraining us from paying dividends or repurchasing shares if we were unable to comply with such requirements.

Strong competition within our market area may limit our growth and profitability.

Competition in the banking and financial services industry within our market area is intense. In our market area we compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than we have and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market area. The greater resources and broader range of deposit and loan products offered by our competition may limit our ability to increase our interest-earning assets and profitability. We expect competition to remain intense in the future as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered barriers to entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans could limit our ability to successfully implement our business plan, and could adversely affect our results of operations in the future.

41

We operate in a highly regulated environment, and changes in laws and regulations to which we are subject may adversely affect our results of operations.

The LaPorte Savings Bank is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, as its chartering authority, and by the FDIC. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board regulates and oversees the Company. We also belong to the Federal Home Loan Bank system and, as a member of such system, we are subject to certain limited regulations promulgated by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. This regulation and supervision limits the activities in which we may engage. The purpose of regulation and supervision is primarily to protect our depositors and borrowers and, also in the case of FDIC regulation, the FDIC’s insurance fund. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in the exercise of their supervisory and enforcement powers. They may, among other things, impose restrictions on the operation of a banking institution, the classification of assets by such institution and such institution’s allowance for loan losses. Regulatory and law enforcement authorities also have wide discretion and extensive enforcement powers under various consumer protection and civil rights laws, including the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. Any change in the laws or regulations applicable to us, or in banking regulators’ supervisory policies or examination procedures, whether by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, other state or federal regulators, or the U.S. Congress could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our stock price may be volatile due to limited trading volume.

LaPorte Bancorp’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market. However, the average daily trading volume in LaPorte Bancorp’s common stock has been relatively small, averaging less than approximately 6,545 shares per day during 2013. As a result, trades involving a relatively small number of shares may have a significant effect on the market price of the common stock, and it may be difficult for investors to acquire or dispose of large blocks of stock without significantly affecting the market price.

Our information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.

We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. Any failure, interruption, or breach in security or operational integrity of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan, and other systems. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption, or security breach of our information systems, we cannot assure you that any such failures, interruptions, or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions, or security breaches of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The Board of Directors has the authority to declare cash dividends on shares of common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. In determining whether and in what amount to pay a cash dividend, the Board takes into account a number of factors, including capital requirements, our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations and general economic conditions. No assurances can be given that cash dividends will continue to be paid or that, if paid, will not be reduced.

The available sources of funds for the payment of a cash dividend in the future are interest and principal payments with respect to LaPorte Bancorp, Inc.’s loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and dividends from The LaPorte Savings Bank.

Under the rules of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board, The LaPorte Savings Bank is not permitted to make a capital distribution if, after making such distribution, it would be undercapitalized. For information concerning additional federal laws and regulations regarding the ability of The LaPorte Savings Bank to make capital distributions, including the payment of dividends to LaPorte Bancorp, see “Taxation—Federal Taxation” and “Supervision and Regulation—Capital Distributions.”

Unlike The LaPorte Savings Bank, the Company is not restricted by FDIC regulations on the payment of dividends to its shareholders. However, the Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends by bank holding companies that it has also made applicable to savings and loan holding companies as well. In general, the Federal Reserve Board’s policies provide that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. Federal Reserve Board guidance provides for prior regulatory review of capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion and analysis reflects our consolidated financial statements and other relevant statistical data, and is intended to enhance your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. The information in this section has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements, which appear beginning on page 67 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. You should read the information in this section in conjunction with the business and financial information regarding the Company provided in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Our results of operations depend mainly on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on our loan and investment portfolios and interest expense paid on our deposits and borrowed funds. Results of operations are also affected by fee income from deposits, lending and mortgage banking operations, provisions for loan losses, gains (losses) on sales and other than temporary impairment charges of loans and securities, and other miscellaneous income. Our noninterest expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, advertising, bank examination fees, amortization of intangibles, collection and other real estate owned related expense, FDIC insurance, and income tax expense (benefit). Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly with respect to changes in interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations or government policies may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 1A-Risk Factors.”

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is intended to increase profitability by:

• Increasing Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Business Lending. In order to increase the yield of and reduce the term to repricing of our loan portfolio, we have increased our commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios while maintaining the practice of sound credit decisions. Our commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios have grown from $59.3 million and $17.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2007 to $83.8 million and $17.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, non-performing commercial real estate and commercial business loans totaled $924,000, which decreased $2.4 million, or 72%, from December 31, 2012.

• Maintaining the Quality of Our Loan Portfolio. Maintaining the quality of our loan portfolio is a key factor in managing our operations, particularly during a period of economic weakness. We will continue to use customary risk management techniques, such as independent internal and external loan reviews, portfolio credit analysis, and field inspections of collateral in overseeing the performance of our loan portfolio. Our asset quality remains better than many Indiana banks and thrifts with a nonperforming loans to total loans ratio of 1.65% at December 31, 2013 and a nonperforming assets to total assets ratio of 1.16% at December 31, 2013, which is the lowest level we have experienced since September 30, 2008.

• Continuing Moderate Growth in Mortgage Warehouse Lending. We entered the mortgage warehouse line of business in order to increase the yield of our loan portfolio and increase noninterest income. Our mortgage warehouse lending business has grown from $604.8 million in originations in 2009 to $2.8 billion in originations in 2013. The rising mortgage interest rates during 2013 combined with increased competition for mortgages negatively impacted the amount of mortgage activity nationwide. The tighter spreads, slower turn times, and reduced fees reduced our interest income and fee income related to mortgage warehouse lending. During 2013, we added eight mortgage lenders to mitigate the impact of the changing mortgage industry and increased competition.

• Increasing Revenue with Our Mortgage Banking Strategy. We made the strategic decision to grow our mortgage banking area by adding qualified mortgage lenders in LaPorte and Porter counties in Indiana and opening a new mortgage loan production office in St. Joseph, Michigan. We believe that our infrastructure will allow us to grow market share within and around our markets. While we intend to sell the majority of our originated mortgage loans to continue to generate fee income and gains on mortgage banking activities, we are strategically retaining certain of these loans within our portfolio, focusing on adjustable rate mortgages and fixed rate mortgages with 10 to 15 year terms.

47

• Maintaining Our Status As An Independent Community Oriented Institution. We intend to use our customer service and our knowledge of our local community to enhance our status as an independent community financial institution. We are also committed to upgrading technology where necessary to provide high quality service to our customers for online banking and making mortgage and consumer lending decisions. In addition, having employees who understand and value our clientèle and their business is a key component to our success. We believe that our present staff is one of our competitive strengths and thus the retention of such persons and our ability to continue to attract quality personnel is a high priority.

• Managed Growth. We intend to use our capital to grow organically and we may use a portion of the net proceeds of our 2012 second-step conversion and offering to pursue future acquisitions of commercial banks, savings institutions, financial services companies, and branch offices of such institutions if we find the right opportunity. We have no current arrangements or agreements with respect to any such acquisitions.

• Managing Interest Rate Risk. We believe that it is difficult to achieve satisfactory levels of profitability in the financial services industry without assuming some level of interest rate risk, especially with the continued low interest rate market. However, we believe that such risk must be carefully managed to avoid undue exposure to changes in interest rates. Accordingly, we seek to manage to the extent practical our interest rate risk, which may include the use of interest rate swap agreements as a part of our strategy.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or make significant assumptions that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income, to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies:

Securities. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost and further review will be performed for all securities that have been in a loss position for greater than one year and at a current loss of 10% or more; (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer and whether it has the ability to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the debt security; (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions; and (4) our intent not to sell the debt security and whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.

Management reviews a performance report issued by a third party on each of its mortgage-backed securities on a quarterly basis. This review includes information on each security, including the overall credit score and loan to value ratios for the underlying mortgage of these securities.

Management completes a quarterly review of its corporate bond portfolio. The third party review report includes each bond’s investment grade. We continue to closely monitor the corporate bonds due to ongoing economic concerns and spreads on these securities.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.

48

A loan is impaired with specific allowance amounts allocated, if applicable, when based on current information and events it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. Loans included for analysis for potential impairment are all commercial and commercial real estate loans classified by us as Substandard, Doubtful, or Loss. Such loans are analyzed to determine if specific allowance allocations are required under either the fair value of collateral method, for all collateral dependent loans, or using the present value of estimated future cash flows method, using the loan’s existing interest rate as the discount factor. Other factors considered in the potential specific allowance allocation measurement are the timing and reliability of collateral appraisals or other collateral valuation sources, the confidence in our lien on the collateral, historical losses on similar loans, and any other factors known to management at the time of the measurement that may affect the valuation. Based on management’s consideration of these factors for each individual loan that is reviewed for potential impairment, a specific allowance allocation is assigned to the loan, if applicable, and such allocations are periodically monitored and adjusted as appropriate.

Non-specific general allowance amounts are allocated to all other loans not considered in the specific allowance allocation analysis described above. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. A minimum and maximum allowance allocation estimate is determined for each general loan category or loan pool based on the current three year historical average annual loss ratios as well as consideration of significant recent changes in annual historical loss ratios, classified loan trends by category, delinquency ratios, and inherent risk factors attributable to current local and national economic conditions.

All of the allowance for loan losses is allocated under the specific and general allowance allocation methodologies described above. Management reviews its allowance allocation estimates and loan collateral values at least quarterly and adjusts the allowance for loan losses for changes in specific and general allowance allocations, as appropriate. Any differences between the estimated and actual observed loan losses are adjusted through increases or decreases to the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly and such losses are then factored into the revised historical average annual loss ratios for future quarterly allowance allocations.

The LaPorte Savings Bank is subject to periodic examinations by its federal and state regulatory examiners and may be required by such regulators to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their assessment of credit information available to them at the time of their examinations. The process of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is necessarily subjective. In times of economic weakness, it is reasonably possible that future credit losses may exceed historical loss levels and may also exceed management’s current estimates of incurred credit losses inherent within the loan portfolio. As such, there can be no assurance that future charge-offs will not exceed management’s current estimate of what constitutes a reasonable allowance for loan losses.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense (benefit) is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

49

Valuation of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We assess the carrying value of our goodwill at least annually in order to determine if this intangible asset is impaired. In reviewing the carrying value of our goodwill, we assess the recoverability of such assets by evaluating the fair value of the related business unit. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the excess and the carrying value of goodwill is reduced accordingly. Any impairment would be required to be recorded during the period identified.

At December 31, 2013, the Company had core deposit intangibles of $274,000 subject to amortization and $8.4 million of goodwill, which is not subject to amortization. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets arising from the acquisition of City Savings Financial in 2007. Accounting standards require an annual evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment using various estimates and assumptions. The Company’s common stock at the close of business on December 31, 2013 was $11.12 per common share, compared to a book value of $13.56 per common share. Management believes the lower market price in relation to book value of the Company’s common stock is due to the overall decline in the financial industry sector and is not specific to the Company. Further, the Company engaged an independent expert in valuations to perform an impairment test of its goodwill. The impairment test was performed in February 2014 as of October 31, 2013 and resulted in an implied fair value for the Company sufficiently above the book value of its common stock to support the carrying value of goodwill. As the Company’s stock price per common share is currently less than its book value per common share, it is possible that management may conclude that goodwill, totaling $8.4 million at December 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.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles arising from a whole bank acquisition and were initially measured at fair value and are amortized on an accelerated method over the estimated useful live of 15 years. The core deposit intangibles are periodically evaluated for impairment and, if in the future, are determined to be impaired, our financial results could be materially impacted.

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

General: Total assets increased $34.1 million, or 6.9%, to $526.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $492.8 million at December 31, 2012. The increase at December 31, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in cash and due from financial institutions of $11.4 million and in securities available-for-sale of $38.7 million partially offset a decrease of $20.4 million in loans receivable. The increases in cash and securities available-for-sale were a result of the decrease in mortgage warehouse lending balances of $22.0 million in 2013 due to the increase in mortgage interest rates which slowed mortgage and refinance activity industry-wide. We continue to see a shift in our deposit composition when comparing balances at December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2012, with a $7.1 million reduction in time deposits and a $4.8 million increase in interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing demand, savings, and money market accounts. We attribute this change primarily to the continued low interest rate environment along with our strategic approach to pricing deposits and overall interest rate management. The Company experienced an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) advances at December 31, 2013 of $37.8 million, or 77.1%, of which $26.8 million were short term advances utilized to fund the fluctuating warehouse lending balances and were repaid during January 2014. Total shareholders’ equity decreased $3.8 million in 2013 primarily due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $4.2 million as unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale decreased as a result of rising interest rates during 2013. In addition, the Company repurchased 296,009 shares of its common stock for $3.2 million in accordance with its repurchase plan announced in October 2013 and paid $987,000 in dividends to shareholders. These decreases were partially offset by net income totaling $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

52

Investment Securities and Interest-earning Time Deposits: Total securities available-for-sale increased $38.7 million, or 30.8%, to $164.3 million at December 31, 2013 from $125.6 million at December 31, 2012 due to $95.8 million of purchases of mortgage-backed securities, government agency CMOs, and state and municipal investments as the proceeds from the decrease in gross loans were invested. Partially offsetting the purchases were $32.9 million of sales and $16.6 million of maturities, calls, and principal repayments of securities available-for-sale during 2013.

At December 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 loss of $1.6 million at December 31, 2013 compared to a net unrealized gain of $5.6 million at December 31, 2012. The change in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities was primarily related to the 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 were relatively stable at $1.1 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2012. Changes in the balance of loans held for sale are primarily due to the timing of when residential mortgage loans are originated and subsequently sold to the secondary market.

Net Loans: Net loans decreased $20.4 million, or 6.5%, to $293.3 million at December 31, 2013 from $313.7 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in mortgage warehouse loans, which was partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate, construction and five or more family residential loans during 2013.

Mortgage warehouse loans decreased $22.0 million, or 16.0%, to $115.4 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $137.5 million at December 31, 2012. The volume of loans originated by the mortgage companies decreased to $2.3 billion in 2013 from $2.8 billion in 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.

Commercial real estate loans increased $4.0 million, or 5.0%, to $83.8 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $79.8 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in commercial real estate loans was due to the origination of $18.4 million in new loans which was offset by loan repayments and payoffs totaling $12.3 million and six relationships totaling $2.4 million which were transferred to other real estate owned or were charged-off during 2013.

Construction loans increased $1.6 million, or 53.5%, to $4.5 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to the origination of four commercial construction loans totaling $1.9 million and draws of $1.4 million on existing commercial construction loans offset by $714,000 of commercial construction loans moving to permanent financing during 2013. The overall increase in commercial construction loans was offset by a decrease in residential construction loans as $934,000 of such loans converted to permanent financing during 2013.

Five or more family residential loans increased $1.1 million, or 7.8%, to $15.4 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to four new loan relationships during 2013 totaling $9.2 million and was partially offset by two relationships that paid off during 2013 which totaled $7.8 million at December 31, 2012.

Commercial business loans decreased $2.5 million, or 12.6%, to $17.6 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $20.2 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to loan repayments and payoffs totaling $6.1 million, partially offset by new loan originations and draws on existing loans totaling $3.5 million during 2013.

One- to four-family residential loans decreased $1.6 million, or 4.2%, to $35.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $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 2013. We have continued to sell a majority of our fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans originated, but will retain in our portfolio shorter-term fixed rate and variable rate loans when deemed appropriate in an effort to replace some of the older one- to four-family residential loans that have been refinanced or repaid. 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.

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

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses balance decreased $403,000, or 9.4%, to $3.9 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to a decrease in the provision for loan losses to $6,000 for 2013 compared to $1.0 million for 2012. The decrease in the provision during 2013 was primarily due to a decrease in the total outstanding gross loan balances when compared to December 31, 2012, a $384,000 decrease in specific reserve requirements related to one commercial real estate relationship based upon updated appraisals, and a continued improvement in asset quality metrics. The provision amounts recorded reflect management’s continuing assessment of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, which is impacted by various trends, including nonperforming loans, classified assets, charge-off ratios, delinquencies, and current economic conditions. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was relatively stable at 1.31% at December 31, 2013 compared to 1.35% at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was impacted by the decrease in gross loans and the decrease in specific reserve allocations of $332,000 when comparing balances at December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2012.

Asset quality metrics continued to improve during the year ended December 31, 2013. Total nonperforming loans decreased $3.5 million, or 41.3%, to $4.9 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $8.4 million at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, nonperforming loans to total loans ratio decreased to 1.65% from 2.63% at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 79.6% at December 31, 2013 compared to 51.5% at December 31, 2012 primarily due to the decrease in nonperforming loans during 2013.

Commercial real estate nonperforming loans decreased by $1.8 million, or 68.1%, during 2013 due to the payoff of one relationship totaling $508,000, the transfer to other real estate owned of four relationships totaling $1.5 million, and the repayment of $321,000 and related charge-off of $58,000 on another relationship. In addition, one- to four-family real estate nonperforming loans decreased $787,000 during 2013 due to five loans totaling $546,000 being transferred to other real estate owned, two loans totaling $331,000 returning to accrual status as the borrowers were current and performing according to the terms of their agreements, and repayments totaling $187,000. These decreases in one- to four- family real estate loans were partially offset by five loans totaling $295,000 being transferred to nonaccrual status during 2013.

As of December 31, 2013, nonaccrual loans to rental, real estate and land developers totaled $3.6 million, to construction businesses totaled $201,000, and to all other commercial industry types totaled $105,000. One- to four-family residential loans on nonaccrual totaled $988,000 as of December 31, 2013. All other consumer loans on nonaccrual status totaled $46,000 at December 31, 2013.

Total nonperforming assets decreased $3.2 million, or 34.2%, to $6.1 million at December 31, 2013 from $9.3 million at December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, nonperforming assets to total assets ratio decreased to 1.16% from 1.88% at December 31, 2012 primarily due to the decrease in nonperforming loans mentioned above which was partially offset by an increase of $286,000 in other real estate owned. Eleven properties were sold during 2013 with a recorded fair value of $1.6 million, and 17 new properties were transferred into other real estate owned during the current year with a fair value of $2.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2013, write-downs totaling $340,000 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 $205,000 at December 31, 2013. The Company anticipates listing this property for sale in the future but does not anticipate that to occur in the near future.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Our goodwill totaled $8.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 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 2014 as of October 31, 2013. Based on this evaluation, 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 2013.

As the Company’s market price per common share is currently less than its tangible book value per common share, it is possible that management may conclude that goodwill, totaling $8.4 million at December 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.

54

Deposits: Total deposits decreased $2.3 million, or 0.7%, to $346.7 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $349.0 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to decreases in certificates of deposit and IRA balances partially offset by increases in money market deposits.

Noninterest bearing demand deposits were relatively stable at $51.0 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $50.9 million at December 31, 2012. Savings and money market accounts increased $3.6 million, or 3.0%, to $124.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $120.4 million at December 31, 2012. Interest-bearing checking accounts increased $1.0 million, or 2.0%, to $53.9 million at December 31, 2013.

Certificates of deposit and IRA balances decreased $7.1 million, or 5.7%, to $117.8 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to the continued low interest rate environment. Non-brokered certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits decreased $10.2 million during 2013, primarily due to the continued competitive market 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. Partially offsetting this decrease in non-brokered certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits was an increase of $3.1 million in brokered deposits during 2013. During 2013, we utilized lower costing brokered deposits through CDARS as a funding source for loans and warehouse mortgage lending.

Borrowed Funds: Total borrowed funds increased $40.2 million, or 74.2%, to $94.3 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $54.2 million at December 31, 2012. FHLBI advances increased $37.8 million during 2013 due to an increase in short-term advances of $17.8 million. Long-term advances also increased by $20.0 million at December 31, 2013 to $60.0 million. 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 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 December 31, 2013, the Company's borrowed funds included $2.4 million of short-term borrowings from Zions Bank. The increase in short-term FHLBI advances and Zions Bank borrowings at December 31, 2013 was related to the fluctuating balances during December for our warehouse lending. All of the Company's short-term advances and borrowings were repaid during January 2014.

Total Shareholders’ Equity: Total shareholders’ equity decreased $3.8 million, or 4.5%, to $80.2 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $84.1 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to a $4.2 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income as unrealized securities gains decreased as a result of rising interest rates during 2013 and dividends paid during 2013 of $987,000. In addition, total equity decreased by $3.2 million as the Company repurchased 296,009 shares of its common stock in accordance with its repurchase plan announced in October 2013. There were 14,800 shares remaining to be repurchased under this plan at December 31, 2013. These decreases in total equity were partially offset by $4.0 million in net income for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Comparison of Operating Results For the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012

Net Income: Net income totaled $4.0 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Return on average assets for 2013 was 0.83% compared to 0.91% for 2012, and return on average equity was 4.81% for 2013 compared to 6.91% for the same period in 2012. Net income was primarily impacted by decreases in net interest income of $1.3 million and noninterest income of $173,000 which were partially offset by a decrease in provision for loan losses of $1.0 million and an increase in noninterest expense of $116,000.

The Company experienced a decrease in both mortgage warehouse and mortgage banking activity during 2013 as compared to 2012 due to the rising mortgage interest rates which reduce mortgage and refinancing activity. The impact of the the change in the mortgage banking environment contributed significantly to the decrease in net income. The average outstanding balance of mortgage warehouse loans decreased $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the prior year period. Gains on mortgage banking activities decreased $424,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year period due to the lower level of mortgage banking activities.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased $1.3 million, or 8.3%, to $14.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $15.4 million for the prior year. Net interest rate spread decreased to 2.98% for 2013 compared to 3.37% for the prior year. Net interest margin decreased to 3.20% for 2013 compared to 3.57% for the prior year. The decreases in the net interest spread and net interest margin were partially due to a decrease in interest income on loans of $2.4 million and average yields earned on securities due to the continued low interest rate environment combined with an 8.5% decrease in average outstanding loan balances in 2013. The decrease in loan interest income was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings totaling $971,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013.

55

Interest and Dividend Income: Interest and dividend income decreased $2.3 million, or 11.4%, to $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $19.8 million for the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in interest and fee income on loans of $2.4 million, or 14.6%. The average outstanding balance of loans decreased $24.8 million to $268.1 million, while the average yield on loans decreased 38 basis points to 5.21% for 2013.

Interest and fee income on mortgage warehouse loans decreased $914,000, or 15.1%, to $5.1 million during 2013 when compared to 2012 due to the decrease of $8.9 million in the average balance of mortgage warehouse loans combined with a decrease in the average yield of 42 basis points on these loans during 2013. The volume of these loans originated by the mortgage companies decreased to $2.3 billion in 2013 from $2.8 billion in 2012. The year ended December 31, 2013 was impacted by the industry-wide decrease in mortgage originations and refinances due to rising interest rates on mortgage loans.

Interest and fee income from commercial real estate loans and one- to four- family mortgage loans held in portfolio decreased $445,000 and $469,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year due to decreases in the average outstanding balances combined with lower average yields earned on such loans. The average yield on commercial real estate loans and the average yield on one- to four-family residential loans decreased 21 and 32 basis points, respectively, during 2013 when compared to the prior year. The Bank continues to sell the majority of its fixed rate one- to four-family residential loans originated, and as a result, the slow down in mortgage refinance activity during 2013 contributed to the decrease in both the average outstanding balance and interest income from these loans. The average yield on one- to four-family residential loans decreased 32 basis points during 2013 when compared to the prior year.

Interest income on automobile and other consumer loans decreased $127,000, or 30.6%, to $288,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The average outstanding balance of these loans decreased $1.3 million during 2013 when compared to the prior year as the Company's portfolio of indirect dealer auto loans continues to decrease through repayments. The Company does not currently lend under any indirect dealer auto program.

Interest income on taxable securities was $1.9 million in 2013 and 2012. The average outstanding balance of taxable securities increased $21.7 million, which was offset by the decrease in the average yield of 44 basis points in 2013. Interest income on tax exempt securities increased $65,000 in 2013 primarily due to an increase of $5.2 million in the average outstanding balance and partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of 29 basis points in 2013 compared to 2012. The current low interest rate environment continues to negatively impact interest income and management anticipates this trend to continue in the near future.

Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $971,000, or 22.1%, to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from to $4.4 million for the prior year. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 23 basis points to 0.99% during 2013 from 1.22% for the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits as well as a decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds. In addition, the average outstanding balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $15.0 million during 2013 to $344.9 million from $360.0 million in 2012.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $694,000, or 24.2%, to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the prior year. The average cost of certificates of deposit and IRA time deposits decreased 20 basis points to 1.54% for 2013 from 1.74% in 2012 and the average outstanding balance of these deposits decreased $22.9 million resulting in a decrease of $615,000 in interest expense on these deposits. The average cost of money market and interest-bearing checking accounts decreased 11 basis points to 0.34% in 2013 from 0.45% in 2012. The impact of the decrease in the cost of money market and interest-bearing checking accounts was partially offset by a $9.6 million increase in the average outstanding balance of these deposits in 2013 to $117.3 million from $107.8 million in 2012. The Company has continued to offer competitive interest rates on money market accounts in order to attract these relatively low cost deposits to help fund the mortgage warehouse division.

Interest expense on FHLBI advances decreased $240,000, to $969,000 during 2013 primarily due to a 34 basis point decrease in the average cost of FHLBI advances to 1.93% in 2013 as we were able to replace a significant portion of matured borrowings with the lower cost advances. Interest expense on the FDIC guaranteed unsecured borrowing which The LaPorte Savings Bank entered into in 2009 decreased $37,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year, as the borrowing matured and was paid off during the first quarter of 2012.

56

Provision for Loan Losses: The Bank recognizes a provision for loan losses, which is charged to earnings, at 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 loan 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 provision for loan losses of $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $1.0 million for the prior year. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to a decrease in the total outstanding gross loan balances when compared to 2012, a $384,000 decrease in specific reserve requirements related to one commercial real estate relationship based upon updated appraisals, and a continued improvement in asset quality metrics in 2013. Net charge-offs for 2013 and 2012 were $409,000 and $501,000, respectively. Specific reserves of $242,000 were previously recorded for current year net charge-offs.

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income decreased slightly to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $3.2 million in 2012, primarily attributable to decreases in gains on mortgage banking activities of $424,000 due to the decreases in refinance and purchase activity as mortgage interest rates increased during the second half of 2013. In addition, other income decreased $184,000 during 2013 when compared to the prior year due to gains realized in 2012 on the call of certain brokered deposits combined with lower wire transfer fees realized as a result of the decrease in mortgage warehouse activity.

Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $340,000 from net gains on sales of securities, which were realized to reduce price volatility, and an increase of $129,000 in loan servicing fees due to recent increases in mortgage interest rates which reduced the provision for the valuation allowance on mortgage servicing rights required during 2013.

Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense increased $116,000, or 1.0%, to $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $11.8 million for the prior year. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to an increase in data processing of $103,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 when compared to the prior year due to processing expenses related to the establishment of a real estate investment trust, annual fees related to the Bank’s mobile banking service during 2013, and costs related to certain system upgrades and higher annual license and maintenance fees. The real estate investment trust company was established in January 2013 and the Bank’s mobile banking service was implemented beginning in June 2012.

Collection and other real estate owned expense increased $99,000 during 2013 compared to the prior year due to increased real estate taxes related to the number of properties held as other real estate owned during 2013 when compared to 2012. In addition, other expenses increased $56,000 during 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to the Company incurring $150,000 of expenses related to the formation of a captive insurance company, which was partially offset by a decrease in charitable contributions, legal and consulting fees, and other expenses. During 2012, the Company incurred $95,000 related to the formation of its real estate investment trust.

The above increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decrease in occupancy expense totaling $174,000 primarily related to a reduction in real estate taxes on bank owned properties as LaPorte County finalized the provisional tax bills related to previous years. Salaries and wages expense also decreased for the year ended December 31, 2013 by $40,000 which was primarily related to a decrease in the costs of the supplemental retirement plan as well as an increase in the deferred lending costs from new loan originations in 2013. The decreases in salaries and wages expense were partially offset by increases in payroll expense primarily attributable to an increase in the number of mortgage banking personnel compared to the prior year and normal annual merit pay increases.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense decreased $269,000, to $1.2 million for 2013 compared to $1.5 million for 2012, primarily due to a decrease in income before taxes of $541,000, as well as a decrease in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rates for 2013 and 2012 were 23.4% and 25.9%, respectively. The establishment of the Company's real estate investment trust company in early 2013 combined with the increase of the bank owned life insurance had a favorable impact by lowering our effective state income tax rate in 2013. We anticipate that the late 2013 establishment of the Company's pooled captive insurance company will also contribute to a lower effective federal income tax rate in future years. Also impacting the income tax expense in 2012, was the estimated state net operating losses and other credits that were utilized for 2012 which resulted in a state income tax expense of $173,000 in 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet both our short- and long-term liquidity needs. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund loan commitments, repay our borrowings, and fund deposit outflows. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives. Liquidity levels fluctuate significantly based upon the demand in the mortgage warehouse lending division.

Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations, as well as access to Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competition. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits.

A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents and borrowings, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $18.2 million and $6.9 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the maturities of securities, principal repayments of mortgage-backed securities and increases in deposit accounts.

Based on our current FHLBI stock ownership, as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $86.8 million and $49.0 million, respectively in borrowings outstanding from the FHLBI. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 we had access to additional FHLBI advances of up to approximately $223,000 and $26.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, if we increased our ownership in FHLBI stock to the maximum allowable and increased our pledged collateral accordingly, we could borrow an additional $12.5 million and $49.5 million, respectively, from the FHLBI. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had access to approximately $8.0 million but did not have any borrowings outstanding from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window.

The Company also has accommodations from First Tennessee Bank National Association to borrow federal funds up to $15.0 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The federal funds accommodation is not 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, at its sole discretion. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no borrowings from First Tennessee Bank National Association. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has an agreement with Zions First National Bank for an unsecured line of credit to borrow federal funds up to $9.0 million. This federal funds line of credit was established at the discretion of Zions First National Bank and may be terminated at any time in its sole discretion. At December 31, 2013, the Company had $2.4 million outstanding on this line. The Company did not have any outstanding borrowings on this line at December 31, 2012. The market value of unpledged available for sale securities which could be pledged for additional borrowing purposes was $37.8 million and $83.5 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

At December 31, 2013, we had $34.2 million in loan commitments outstanding, of which $17.6 million was committed to originate unused home equity lines of credit, $4.6 million was committed to originate commercial lines of credit, $920,000 was committed to originate unused commercial standby letters of credit, $3.5 million was committed to unused overdraft lines of credit, $2.4 million was committed to originate commercial real estate loans, $4.0 million was committed to originate unused commercial construction loans, $918,000 was committed to originate unused residential construction loans, $293,000 was committed to originate residential mortgage loans and $40,000 was committed to originate consumer loans. At December 31, 2012, we had $34.8 million in loan commitments outstanding, of which $18.0 million was committed to originate unused home equity lines of credit, $4.9 million was committed to originate commercial lines of credit, $1.9 million was committed to originate unused commercial standby letters of credit, $4.3 million was committed to unused overdraft lines of credit, $866,000 was committed to originate commercial real estate loans, $463,000 was committed to originate commercial loans, $3.4 million was committed to originate unused commercial construction loans and $934,000 was committed to originate unused residential construction loans.

Certificates of deposit and IRAs due within one year of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 totaled $74.4 million, or 63.2% and $65.0 million, or 52.1%, respectively of certificates of deposit and IRAs. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit, IRAs and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before December 31, 2013. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

As reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, our cash flows are classified for financial reporting purposes as operating, investing, or financing cash flows. Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.6 million and $9.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Net cash utilized in investing activities was $29.0 million and $21.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Investment securities utilized the majority of the Company's funding resources during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, as net cash utilized in purchases amounted to $95.8 million and $41.4 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, which was partially offset by cash flows from sales and maturities totaling $49.5 million and $47.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $33.8 million and $10.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During 2013, the majority of our cash inflows from financing activities were related to proceeds from FHLBI advances and short-term borrowings which totaled $45.2 million. Partially offsetting these cash inflows, we utilized $3.2 million for the repurchase of our common stock during 2013. During 2012, the net proceeds from our stock offering comprised a majority of our financing activity in addition to deposit cash flows. The net effect of our operating, investing, and financing activities was to increase our cash and cash equivalents from $6.9 million at the beginning of 2013 to $18.2 million at December 31, 2013. The net effect of our operating, investing, and financing activities was to decrease our cash and cash equivalents from $8.1 million at the beginning of 2012 to $6.9 million at December 31, 2012.

We also have obligations under our post retirement plans as described in Notes 12 and 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The post retirement benefit plans will require future payments to eligible plan participants. We contributed $58,000 and $52,000, respectively, to our 401(k) plan for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. In addition, as part of the 2012 second-step conversion and offering, the employee stock ownership plan trust borrowed funds from the Company and used those funds to purchase shares to be allocated to participants in our ESOP.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements. In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. For information about our loan commitments, letters of credit, and unused lines of credit, see Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not engage in any off-balance-sheet transactions other than loan origination commitments, unused lines of credit, and standby letters of credit in the normal course of our lending activities.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial data presented herein regarding the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, because such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Management of Interest Rate Risk

Our asset/liability management strategy attempts to manage the impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income, our primary source of earnings.

Historically, we have relied on funding longer term higher interest-earning assets with shorter term lower interest-bearing deposits to earn a favorable net interest rate spread. As a result, we have been vulnerable to adverse changes in interest rates. Over the past several years, management has implemented an asset/liability strategy to manage, subject to our profitability goals, our interest rate risk. Among the techniques we are currently using to manage interest rate risk are: (i) expanding, subject to market conditions, our commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and mortgage warehouse loans as they generally reprice more quickly than residential mortgage loans; (ii) selling on the secondary market most of our originations of long-term fixed-rate one- to four-family residential mortgage loans; (iii) subject to market conditions and consumer demand, originating residential adjustable rate mortgages for our portfolio; (iv) using interest rate swaps, caps or floors to hedge our assets and/or liabilities; and (v) reducing the amount of long term, fixed rate mortgage-backed and CMO securities, which are vulnerable to an increasing interest rate environment and will extend in duration. We have also used structured rates with redemption features to improve our yield and may consider interest rate swaps and other hedging instruments although we have not done so recently.

59

While this strategy has helped manage our interest rate exposure, it does pose risks. For instance, the prepayment options embedded in adjustable rate one- to four-family residential loans and the mortgage-backed securities and CMOs, which allow for early repayment at the borrower’s discretion may result in prepayment before the loan reaches the fully indexed rate. Conversely, in a falling interest rate environment, borrowers may refinance their loans and redeemable securities may be called. In addition, non-residential lending generally presents higher credit risks than residential one- to four-family lending.

Our Board of Directors is responsible for the review and oversight of management’s asset/liability strategies. Our Asset/Liability Committee is charged with developing and implementing an asset/liability management plan. This committee meets monthly to review pricing and liquidity needs and assess our interest rate risk. We currently utilize a third party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates. In addition, on a monthly basis, the committee reviews our current liquidity position, investment activity, deposit and loan repricing and terms, interest rate swap effectiveness testing, and Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowing strategies.

Depending on market conditions, we often place more emphasis on enhancing net interest margin rather than matching the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. In particular, we believe that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of our asset and liabilities portfolios can, during periods of stable interest rates, provide high enough returns to justify increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates. As a result of this philosophy, our results of operations will remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates.

Quantitative Analysis. The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2013, the estimated changes in the net interest margin and the economic value of equity that would result from the designated changes in the United States Treasury yield curve over a 12 month non-parallel ramp for The LaPorte Savings Bank. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

Changes in Interest  Rates (basis points) (1)			Estimated Increase (Decrease) in NIM							Estimated Increase (Decrease) in EVE					EVE as Percentage of  Economic Value of Assets
	Estimated NIM (2)		Amount			Percent		Estimated EVE (3)		Amount			Percent		EVE  Ratio(4)		Changes in Basis Points

(1) Assumes changes in interest rates over a 12 month non-parallel ramp.

(2) NIM or Net Interest Margin measures The LaPorte Savings Bank’s exposure to net interest income due to changes in a forecast interest rate environment.

(3) EVE or Economic Value of Equity at Risk measures The LaPorte Savings Bank’s exposure to equity due to changes in a forecast interest rate environment.

(4) EVE Ratio represents Economic Value of Equity divided by the economic value of assets which should translate into built in stability for future earnings.

The table above indicates that at December 31, 2013, in the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates over a 12 month non-parallel ramp, we would experience a 2.95%decrease in net interest income. In the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates over a 12 month non-parallel ramp, the net interest income would increase0.74%.

The table above indicates that at December 31, 2013, in the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates over a 12 month non-parallel ramp, we would experience a 0.38%decrease in economic value of equity. In the event of a 100 basis point increase in interest rates over a 12 month non-parallel ramp, the economic value would decrease4.78% in economic value of equity.

60

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. 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 table 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 the table 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 table does not take into account the changes in the credit risk of our assets which can occur in connection with changes in interest rates.

The Company is also continuing to take steps to address its exposure to rising interest rates. For instance management executed an interest rate swap to address the exposure on its $5.0 million floating rate trust preferred debenture in April 2009, by swapping for a fixed five year effective rate of 5.54%. In October 2009, the Company executed a $10.3 million interest rate swap which took $10.3 million five year floating rate brokered certificates of deposit and swapped for a fixed five year effective rate of 3.19%. In February 2010, The LaPorte Savings Bank executed two interest rate swaps against $15.0 million in maturing FHLB

advances. The first interest rate swap was against a $10.0 million adjustable rate advance tied to the three month LIBOR plus 0.25% for six years at an effective fixed rate of 3.69% and began in July 2010. The second interest rate swap was against a $5.0 million adjustable rate advance tied to the three month LIBOR plus 0.22% for five years with an effective fixed rate of 3.54% and began in September 2010. We will continue to look for opportunities to address our exposure to rising interest rates utilizing hedging strategies in the future. We are also continuing to sell most of the fixed rate one- to-four family residential real estate loans originated and continuing to originate the majority of commercial real estate loans at a variable rate with interest rate floors attached.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

LaPorte Bancorp, Inc.

LaPorte, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The 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”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, LSB Investments Inc., Nevada (“LSB Inc.”), together referred to as “the Company”. LaPorte-Federal was formed on October 12, 2007. LSB Inc. was formed on October 1, 2011 to manage a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio. LaPorte-Federal was a majority owned (54.11)% subsidiary of LaPorte Savings Bank, MHC through September of 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 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. At the time of the offering and the exchange of shares, New LaPorte had 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 Company provides financial services through its offices in LaPorte and Porter counties in Indiana. The Company also provides residential lending through its loan production office in St. Joseph, Michigan. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area. The Company established LSB Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank incorporated in Nevada to manage a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio beginning October 1, 2011. On January 4, 2013, the Company established LSB Real Estate, Inc. (“LSB Real Estate”), a real estate investment trust, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of LSB Inc., and is incorporated in Maryland. On December 27, 2013, the Company established LSB Risk Management, LLC (“LSB Risk Management”), a pooled captive insurance company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of New LaPorte and is incorporated in Nevada.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, consideration of other than temporary declines in fair values of securities, the fair values of securities and other financial instruments, consideration of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial institutions with original maturities under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds purchased, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Interest-Earning Time Deposits in Other Financial Institutions: Interest-earning time deposits in other financial institutions mature between one and four years and are carried at cost.

Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized holding gains and losses included in income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. The fair value includes the servicing value of the loans.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged-off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still accruing include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. A loan is moved to nonaccrual status in accordance with the Company’s policy, typically after 90 days of non-payment. The Company follows the same nonaccrual policy for troubled debt restructurings.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The recorded investment in loans is the loan balance plus unamortized net deferred loan costs less unamortized net deferred loan fees. The recorded investment in loans does not include accrued interest. The total amount of accrued interest on loans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $650,000 and $677,000, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within La Porte County. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in the La Porte County area.

Mortgage Warehouse Loans: A mortgage warehouse lending division was established at the Bank. This division has approved specific mortgage companies through which individual mortgage loans are originated by the mortgage company and funded by the Bank as a secured borrowing with the pledge of collateral under the Bank’s agreement with the mortgage company. The individual mortgage loans are held between the time of origination and subsequent repurchase by the mortgage company for sale of the loan into the secondary market. Each individual mortgage is assigned to the Bank until the loan is repurchased and sold to the secondary market by the mortgage company. Also, the Bank takes possession of each original note and forwards such note to the end investor once the mortgage company has sold the loan. The individual loans are typically sold by the mortgage company within 30 days of origination and are seldom held more than 90 days. Interest income is accrued by the Bank during this period and fee income for each loan sold is collected when the sale has been completed.

(continued)

Purchased Loans: The Company purchased a group of loans through the acquisition of City Savings Financial Corporation on October 12, 2007. Purchased loans that showed evidence of credit deterioration since their origination are recorded at an allocated fair value, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses. After acquisition, incurred losses are recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses.

Purchased loans are accounted for individually or aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics (e.g., credit score, loan type, and date of origination). The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each purchased loan or pool, and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield). The excess of the loan’s or pool’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference).

Over the life of the loan or pool, expected cash flows continue to be estimated. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded. If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

All individually classified commercial and commercial real estate loans are evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over certain time periods. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 18 months for the commercial portfolio segment and over the last 12 months for all other portfolio segments. For the fourth quarter of 2012 through the third quarter of 2013, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 24 months for the commercial portfolio segment and over the last 3 years for all other portfolio segments. For the fourth quarter of 2013, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 3 years for all portfolio segments. Management determined this change in assumption better represents current probable losses related to non-impaired loans as of December 31, 2013 by incorporating a longer loss history which includes the most recent economic downturn. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each

portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other change in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

The following portfolio segments have been identified: Commercial, Mortgage, Mortgage Warehouse, Residential Construction, Indirect Auto, Home Equity, and Consumer and Other. The risk characteristics of each of the identified portfolio segments are as follows:

Commercial – Subject to decreases in demand for certain products or services; increasing production costs; increases in interest rates on adjustable rate loans may impact borrowers’ ability to continue payments; and adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral.

Mortgage – Subject to adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral; adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and incremental rate increases on adjustable rate mortgages may impact borrowers’ ability to continue payments.

Mortgage Warehouse – Subject to higher fraud risk than our other lending areas and decreased market values in real estate throughout the country.

Residential Construction – Subject to adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral; and adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates.

Indirect Auto – Subject to higher fraud risk than our other lending areas; adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased value of the underlying collateral.

Home Equity – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased market values due to adverse real estate market conditions.

Consumer and Other – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased value of the underlying collateral.

The Bank is subject to periodic examinations by its federal and state regulatory examiners, and may be required by such regulators to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their assessment of credit information available to them at the time of their examinations. The process of assessing the allowance for loan losses is necessarily subjective. Further, and particularly in times of economic downturns, it is reasonably possible that future credit losses may exceed historical loss levels and may also exceed management’s current estimates of incurred credit losses inherent within the loan portfolio. As such, there can be no assurance that future charge-offs will not exceed management’s current estimate of what constitutes a reasonable allowance for loan losses.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in net gains on mortgage banking activities. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds, and default rates and losses. The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type, and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with loan servicing fees, net on the consolidated statements of income. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

Servicing fee income, which is reported on the consolidated statements of income as loan servicing fees, net, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. Loan servicing fees, net totaled $103,000 and $(26,000) for the years ended December 2013 and 2012. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material.

Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

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. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated on an accelerated or straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of FHLB stock based on the level of FHLB borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: All goodwill on the Company’s balance sheet resulted from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected October 31st as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets arising from a whole bank acquisition. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 4 to 15 years.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Derivatives: At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value hedge”), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”), or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”). As of December 31, 2013, the Company had entered into four cash flow hedge transactions. For a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in current earnings as fair values change. For a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For both types of hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not highly effective in hedging the changes in fair value or expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported currently in earnings, as noninterest income.

Net cash settlements on derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in interest income or interest expense, based on the item being hedged. Net cash settlements on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported in noninterest income. Cash flows on hedges are classified in the cash flow statement the same as the cash flows of the items being hedged.

The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, a hedged firm commitment is no longer firm, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended.

When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded as noninterest income. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transactions are still expected to occur, gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are amortized into earnings over the same periods which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives: Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest rate on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in net gains on mortgage banking activities on the consolidated statements of income.

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, 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.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Split-dollar life insurance plan expense and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The cost of shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, includes net changes in net unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, net of tax, reclassification adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, which are also recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Bancorp or by the Bancorp to shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments: While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: 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 2013-01 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 20.

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, or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net 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 19.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04 “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure.” This ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and states that a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The new requirements are effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Adopting this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

At December 31, 2013, the Company held 122 investments in debt securities which were in an unrealized loss position, of which 110 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 it is not more likely than not it will 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, the outstanding balance of loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings totaled $2.2 million and $842,000, respectively. At December 31, 2013, $1.9 million of loans modified as troubled debt restructurings were considered performing and in accordance with their repayment terms, and $227,000 of loans modified as troubled debt restructurings were considered nonperforming. At December 31, 2012, all loans modified as troubled debt resturcturings were considered nonperforming. The Company has allocated $61,000 and $0, respectively of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts as of December 31, 2013 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The following table presents loans by class that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the year ending December 31, 2013:

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 under the Company’s management loan committee.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes 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:

23

LAPORTE BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(continued)

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. The Bank monitors credit quality on loans not rated through the loan’s individual payment performance.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

There were no such loans purchased during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Income is not recognized on certain purchased loans if the Company cannot reasonably estimate cash flows expected to be collected. The carrying amounts of such loans were $49,000 and $50,000, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 4 – 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 values 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, less estimated costs to sell. 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 foreclosures are initially recorded at fair value less cost 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 and 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.

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 December 31, 2013 was determined using a discount rate of 10.0%, prepayment speeds ranging from 6.5% to 23.0%, 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%.

At December 31, 2012, loans held for sale were carried at the fair value of $1.2 million, which is made up of the outstanding balance of $1.1 million, net of a valuation of $34,000 at December 31, 2012, resulting in net losses of $10,000 for the year ending December 31, 2012.

For items for which the fair value option has been elected, interest income is recorded within the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) based on the contractual amount of interest income earned on financial assets (none were delinquent or in nonaccrual status).

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 a Level 2 classification.

Deposits: The carrying amounts of demand deposits approximate fair values and are classified as Level 2. Fair value 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 classification.

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 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s goodwill totaled $8.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company determined that no impairment of its goodwill existed during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. 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 Company’s single reporting unit, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, and estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. Management determined the fair value of the reporting unit and compared it to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step to the impairment test is required. The Company’s annual impairment analysis performed as of October 31, 2013 indicated that the Step 2 analysis was not necessary.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s core deposit intangible assets had a net carrying value of $274,000 and $363,000, respectively. The total gross carrying amount of the core deposit intangible assets totaled $1.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012 and is reported net of accumulated amortization of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Aggregate amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $89,000 and $111,000, respectively.

NOTE 10 – OTHER BORROWINGS

On February 11, 2009, the Bank issued a $5.0 million note due on February 15, 2012 under the FDIC Temporary Debt Guarantee Program. The note had an interest rate of 2.74% in addition to the 100 basis point FDIC guarantee fee paid by the Bank. Interest payments were required to be made semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 in each year commencing on August 15, 2009 through the maturity date. All legal and placement fees associated with this transaction were capitalized as debt issuance costs and were amortized to interest expense over the repayment period on a straight-line basis. This note matured on February 15, 2012 and was paid in full by the Bank.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had 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 a confirmed line of credit or loan, and First Tennessee Bank National Association may cancel, in whole or in part, the accommodation at any time without cause or notice in its sole discretion. The Company did not have an outstanding balance on this accommodation at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had an agreement with Zions First National Bank to borrow federal funds up to $9.0 million. This federal funds line amount was established at the discretion of Zions First National Bank and may be terminated at any time in its sole discretion. At December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on this federal funds line was $2.4 million. The Company did not have an outstanding balance at December 31, 2012.

NOTE 11 – SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In June 2003, City Savings Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a trust formed by City Savings Financial Corporation, closed a pooled private offering of 5,000 trust preferred securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. City Savings Financial Corporation issued $5.2 million of subordinated debentures to the Trust in exchange for ownership of all of the common security of the Trust and the proceeds of the preferred securities sold by the Trust. On October 12, 2007, the Company purchased the ownership of the common securities of the Trust as a result of its acquisition of City Savings Financial Corporation. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this Trust (variable interest entity), therefore the Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability. The Company’s investment in the common stock of the Trust was $155,000 and is included in other assets in the December 31, 2013 and 2012 consolidated balance sheets.

The Company may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole or in part, in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000, on or after June 26, 2008 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The subordinated debentures mature on June 26, 2033.

The Company has the right to defer interest payments by extending the interest payment period during the term of the subordinated debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods.

The subordinated debentures are also redeemable in whole or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of specific events defined within the Trust indenture.

The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The subordinated debentures have a variable rate of interest equal to the 3-Month LIBOR plus 3.10% which was 3.35% and 3.41%, respectively at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 12 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Plan: The Bank maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan (“401(k) Plan”) for all employees. Employees must be 21 years of age to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Employees are eligible to enter the 401(k) Plan upon the day of the quarter following employment and are eligible for matching employer contributions upon the day of the quarter following one year of employment. Voluntary participant contributions may be made in the range of 1% to 75% of employee compensation. The Company will make matching employer contributions equal to 25% of the participant’s voluntary contributions on the first 6% of the participant’s voluntary contributions. Employee contributions are 100% vested. Employer matching contributions are vested over five years. The Company made matching contributions totaling $58,000 and $52,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan: Effective August 1, 2002, a supplemental retirement plan was established to cover selective officers. The Bank records an expense equal to the projected present value of payments due at retirement based on the projected remaining years of service. The obligation under the plans was $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The expense attributable to the plan, included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income, was $128,000 and $288,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plans: Effective January 1, 2003, life insurance plans were provided for certain officers on a split-dollar basis. The officer’s designated beneficiary(s) is entitled to a percentage of the death proceeds from the split-dollar policies. The Bank is entitled to the remainder of the death proceeds less any loans on the policies and unpaid interest or cash withdrawals previously incurred by the Bank. The cash surrender value of these life insurance policies related to the Bank’s supplemental employee retirement plan totaled $13.7 million and $11.3 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Bank is the owner of the split-dollar policies.

NOTE 13 – EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

During 2007, the Bank implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), which covers substantially all of its employees. In connection with the second step stock offering on October 4, 2012, the Company issued 270,768 shares of common stock which were added to 59,650 allocated converted shares and 178,949 unallocated converted shares from the original ESOP for a total of 509,367 shares. The 449,717 unallocated shares of common stock are eligible for allocation under the ESOP in exchange for a twenty-year note in the amount of $3.6 million. The $3.6 million for the ESOP share purchase was borrowed from the Company with the ESOP shares being pledged as collateral for the loan.

The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets. The Company is able to make discretionary contributions to the ESOP, as well as pay dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and ESOP expense is recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts.

Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. During the year ended December 31, 2013, 8,354 allocated shares were distributed to former participants.

Contributions to the ESOP during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $163,000 and $201,000, respectively. ESOP related expenses totaled $229,000 and $195,000, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The valuation allowance has been established against the portion of the Company’s net state tax deferred tax asset that management feels is not realizable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company has an Indiana net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1.5 million at December 31, 2013 which will expire in 2028, if not used. The Company also has Indiana enterprise zone credit carryforwards of approximately $53,000 at December 31, 2013 which will expire in 2015 through 2017, if not used. The Company also has a state capital loss carryforward of $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012 which will expire in 2014.

Total income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes as a result of the following:

	At December 31,

Unrecognized Tax Benefits:

The Company has no unrecognized tax positions at December 31, 2013 or 2012 not already addressed by the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The Company does not expect a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

Federal income tax laws provided savings banks with additional bad debt deductions through 1995 which total $2.7 million for the Company. Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which liability would otherwise total $904,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012. If the Company were liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank or if tax laws change, the $904,000 would be recorded as expense.

NOTE 16 – 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 the 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 expense related to the Plan totaled $243,000 and $243,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees or directors, based on their grant date fair value. 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 grant date is used for restricted stock awards.

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

Stock Options

The Plan permits stock option grants 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, vesting periods of five years, and a 10-year contractual term. Options granted generally vest 20% annually.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model based on the assumptions noted 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 Company granted 8,000 options during the year ended December 31, 2013 and no options during the year ended December 31, 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%. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $2.09.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan for the year ended December 31, 2013 follows:

	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Outstanding at beginning of year	281,829		$	6.44	8.0 years	$	659
Granted	8,000		10.19		10.0 years

Forfeited or expired	(5,667	)	6.44
Outstanding at end of year	271,194		6.55		7.8 years	1,239
Fully vested and expected to vest	271,194		6.55		7.8 years	1,239
Exercisable at end of year	98,570		6.44		7.8 years	461

During the year ended December 31, 2013, 12,968 options were exercised which had an intrinsic value of $52,000. The Company received $84,000 in cash and realized $28,000 in tax benefits related to the exercise of these options. There were no options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, there was $260,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 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 grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock as determined by the listing price on the respective date. Shares vest 20% annually over five years. The Plan had 388 shares available for future grant at December 31, 2013.

A summary of changes in the Company’s nonvested restricted shares for the year ended December 31, 2013 follows:

	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair  Value
Nonvested at beginning of year	93,528		$	6.44
Granted	2,000		10.19
Vested	(23,382	)	6.44
Forfeited	—		—
Nonvested at end of year	72,146		6.54

As of December 31, 2013, there was $427,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested shares granted under the Plan. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. At December 31, 2013, the nonvested shares had an intrinsic value of $330,000.

NOTE 17 – REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of December 31, 2013, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Companies under $500 million in consolidated assets at the beginning of the year are not required to report consolidated regulatory capital ratios.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

The Qualified Thrift Lender test requires at least 65% of assets be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified areas. If this test is not met, limits are placed on growth, branching, new investments, FHLB advances, and dividends, or the Bank must convert to a commercial bank charter. Management believes that this test is met at December 31, 2013.

Dividend Restrictions – The Parent Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above. At December 31, 2013, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $6.1 million to the Parent Company.

NOTE 18 – 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 swaps does not represent amounts 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 agreements.

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 both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $220,000 in cash and securities with fair market values of $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, posted as collateral for these derivatives.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges: Interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $30.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, were designated as cash flow hedges of subordinated debentures, certain CDARS deposits, and FHLB advances and were determined to be fully effective during the years then ended. 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 reclassed from other comprehensive income (loss) over the next 12 months.

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.

NOTE 21 – LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The 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”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, LSB Investments Inc., Nevada (“LSB Inc.”), together referred to as “the Company”. LaPorte-Federal was formed on October 12, 2007. LSB Inc. was formed on October 1, 2011 to manage a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio. LaPorte-Federal was a majority owned (54.11)% subsidiary of LaPorte Savings Bank, MHC through September of 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 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. At the time of the offering and the exchange of shares, New LaPorte had 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 Company provides financial services through its offices in LaPorte and Porter counties in Indiana. The Company also provides residential lending through its loan production office in St. Joseph, Michigan. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area. The Company established LSB Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank incorporated in Nevada to manage a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio beginning October 1, 2011. On January 4, 2013, the Company established LSB Real Estate, Inc. (“LSB Real Estate”), a real estate investment trust, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of LSB Inc., and is incorporated in Maryland. On December 27, 2013, the Company established LSB Risk Management, LLC (“LSB Risk Management”), a pooled captive insurance company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of New LaPorte and is incorporated in Nevada.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, consideration of other than temporary declines in fair values of securities, the fair values of securities and other financial instruments, consideration of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial institutions with original maturities under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds purchased, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Interest-Earning Time Deposits in Other Financial Institutions

Interest-Earning Time Deposits in Other Financial Institutions: Interest-earning time deposits in other financial institutions mature between one and four years and are carried at cost.

Securities

Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized holding gains and losses included in income.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. The fair value includes the servicing value of the loans.

Loans

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged-off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still accruing include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. A loan is moved to nonaccrual status in accordance with the Company’s policy, typically after 90 days of non-payment. The Company follows the same nonaccrual policy for troubled debt restructurings.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The recorded investment in loans is the loan balance plus unamortized net deferred loan costs less unamortized net deferred loan fees. The recorded investment in loans does not include accrued interest.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk: Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within La Porte County. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in the La Porte County area.

Mortgage Warehouse Loans

Mortgage Warehouse Loans: A mortgage warehouse lending division was established at the Bank. This division has approved specific mortgage companies through which individual mortgage loans are originated by the mortgage company and funded by the Bank as a secured borrowing with the pledge of collateral under the Bank’s agreement with the mortgage company. The individual mortgage loans are held between the time of origination and subsequent repurchase by the mortgage company for sale of the loan into the secondary market. Each individual mortgage is assigned to the Bank until the loan is repurchased and sold to the secondary market by the mortgage company. Also, the Bank takes possession of each original note and forwards such note to the end investor once the mortgage company has sold the loan. The individual loans are typically sold by the mortgage company within 30 days of origination and are seldom held more than 90 days. Interest income is accrued by the Bank during this period and fee income for each loan sold is collected when the sale has been completed.

Purchased Loans

Purchased Loans: The Company purchased a group of loans through the acquisition of City Savings Financial Corporation on October 12, 2007. Purchased loans that showed evidence of credit deterioration since their origination are recorded at an allocated fair value, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses. After acquisition, incurred losses are recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses.

Purchased loans are accounted for individually or aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics (e.g., credit score, loan type, and date of origination). The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each purchased loan or pool, and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield). The excess of the loan’s or pool’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference).

Over the life of the loan or pool, expected cash flows continue to be estimated. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded. If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

All individually classified commercial and commercial real estate loans are evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over certain time periods. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 18 months for the commercial portfolio segment and over the last 12 months for all other portfolio segments. For the fourth quarter of 2012 through the third quarter of 2013, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 24 months for the commercial portfolio segment and over the last 3 years for all other portfolio segments. For the fourth quarter of 2013, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 3 years for all portfolio segments. Management determined this change in assumption better represents current probable losses related to non-impaired loans as of December 31, 2013 by incorporating a longer loss history which includes the most recent economic downturn. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other change in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

The following portfolio segments have been identified: Commercial, Mortgage, Mortgage Warehouse, Residential Construction, Indirect Auto, Home Equity, and Consumer and Other. The risk characteristics of each of the identified portfolio segments are as follows:

Commercial – Subject to decreases in demand for certain products or services; increasing production costs; increases in interest rates on adjustable rate loans may impact borrowers’ ability to continue payments; and adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral.

Mortgage – Subject to adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral; adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and incremental rate increases on adjustable rate mortgages may impact borrowers’ ability to continue payments.

Mortgage Warehouse – Subject to higher fraud risk than our other lending areas and decreased market values in real estate throughout the country.

Residential Construction – Subject to adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral; and adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates.

Indirect Auto – Subject to higher fraud risk than our other lending areas; adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased value of the underlying collateral.

Home Equity – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased market values due to adverse real estate market conditions.

Consumer and Other – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased value of the underlying collateral.

The Bank is subject to periodic examinations by its federal and state regulatory examiners, and may be required by such regulators to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their assessment of credit information available to them at the time of their examinations. The process of assessing the allowance for loan losses is necessarily subjective. Further, and particularly in times of economic downturns, it is reasonably possible that future credit losses may exceed historical loss levels and may also exceed management’s current estimates of incurred credit losses inherent within the loan portfolio. As such, there can be no assurance that future charge-offs will not exceed management’s current estimate of what constitutes a reasonable allowance for loan losses.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage Servicing Rights: When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in net gains on mortgage banking activities. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds, and default rates and losses. The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type, and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with loan servicing fees, net on the consolidated statements of income. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

Servicing fee income, which is reported on the consolidated statements of income as loan servicing fees, net, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Other Real Estate Owned

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. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated on an accelerated or straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of FHLB stock based on the level of FHLB borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: All goodwill on the Company’s balance sheet resulted from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected October 31st as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets arising from a whole bank acquisition. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 4 to 15 years.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Derivatives

Derivatives: At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value hedge”), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”), or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”). As of December 31, 2013, the Company had entered into four cash flow hedge transactions. For a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in current earnings as fair values change. For a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For both types of hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not highly effective in hedging the changes in fair value or expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported currently in earnings, as noninterest income.

Net cash settlements on derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in interest income or interest expense, based on the item being hedged. Net cash settlements on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported in noninterest income. Cash flows on hedges are classified in the cash flow statement the same as the cash flows of the items being hedged.

The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, a hedged firm commitment is no longer firm, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended.

When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded as noninterest income. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transactions are still expected to occur, gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are amortized into earnings over the same periods which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

Mortgage Banking Derivatives: Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest rate on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in net gains on mortgage banking activities on the consolidated statements of income.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, 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.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Retirement Plans

Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Split-dollar life insurance plan expense and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The cost of shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, includes net changes in net unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, net of tax, reclassification adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, which are also recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Loss Contingencies

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.

Dividend Restriction

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Bancorp or by the Bancorp to shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments

Operating Segments: While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: 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 2013-01 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 20.

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, or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net 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 19.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04 “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure.” This ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and states that a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The new requirements are effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Adopting this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Regulatory Capital Matters

Banking and Thrift [Abstract]

REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of December 31, 2013, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. Companies under $500 million in consolidated assets at the beginning of the year are not required to report consolidated regulatory capital ratios.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Actual and required Bank capital amounts and ratios are presented below at the dates indicated.

	Actual				Required For Capital Adequacy  Purposes				Minimum Required To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Regulations
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
	(Dollars in thousands)
At December 31, 2013:
Total Capital to risk weighted assets Bank	$	66,300	19.1	%	$	27,700	8.0	%	$	34,600	10.0	%
Tier 1 (Core) Capital to risk weighted assets Bank	62,400		18.0		13,900		4.0		20,800		6.0
Tier 1 (Core) Capital to average assets Bank	62,400		13.0		19,200		4.0		24,000		5.0
At December 31, 2012:
Total Capital to risk weighted assets Bank	$	67,300	18.9	%	$	28,400	8.0	%	$	35,600	10.0	%
Tier 1 (Core) Capital to risk weighted assets Bank	63,000		17.7		14,200		4.0		21,300		6.0
Tier 1 (Core) Capital to average assets Bank	63,000		13.4		18,800		4.0		23,500		5.0

The Qualified Thrift Lender test requires at least 65% of assets be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified areas. If this test is not met, limits are placed on growth, branching, new investments, FHLB advances, and dividends, or the Bank must convert to a commercial bank charter. Management believes that this test is met at December 31, 2013.

Dividend Restrictions – The Parent Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above. At December 31, 2013, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $6.1 million to the Parent Company.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The 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”) and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, LSB Investments Inc., Nevada (“LSB Inc.”), together referred to as “the Company”. LaPorte-Federal was formed on October 12, 2007. LSB Inc. was formed on October 1, 2011 to manage a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio. LaPorte-Federal was a majority owned (54.11)% subsidiary of LaPorte Savings Bank, MHC through September of 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 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. At the time of the offering and the exchange of shares, New LaPorte had 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 Company provides financial services through its offices in LaPorte and Porter counties in Indiana. The Company also provides residential lending through its loan production office in St. Joseph, Michigan. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area. The Company established LSB Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank incorporated in Nevada to manage a portion of the Bank’s investment portfolio beginning October 1, 2011. On January 4, 2013, the Company established LSB Real Estate, Inc. (“LSB Real Estate”), a real estate investment trust, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of LSB Inc., and is incorporated in Maryland. On December 27, 2013, the Company established LSB Risk Management, LLC (“LSB Risk Management”), a pooled captive insurance company, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of New LaPorte and is incorporated in Nevada.

Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, mortgage servicing rights, consideration of other than temporary declines in fair values of securities, the fair values of securities and other financial instruments, consideration of impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance are particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other financial institutions with original maturities under 90 days, and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds purchased, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Interest-Earning Time Deposits in Other Financial Institutions: Interest-earning time deposits in other financial institutions mature between one and four years and are carried at cost.

Securities: Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Trading securities are carried at fair value, with changes in unrealized holding gains and losses included in income.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. The fair value includes the servicing value of the loans.

Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged-off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days still accruing include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. A loan is moved to nonaccrual status in accordance with the Company’s policy, typically after 90 days of non-payment. The Company follows the same nonaccrual policy for troubled debt restructurings.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The recorded investment in loans is the loan balance plus unamortized net deferred loan costs less unamortized net deferred loan fees. The recorded investment in loans does not include accrued interest. The total amount of accrued interest on loans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $650,000 and $677,000, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk: Most of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within La Porte County. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in the La Porte County area.

Mortgage Warehouse Loans: A mortgage warehouse lending division was established at the Bank. This division has approved specific mortgage companies through which individual mortgage loans are originated by the mortgage company and funded by the Bank as a secured borrowing with the pledge of collateral under the Bank’s agreement with the mortgage company. The individual mortgage loans are held between the time of origination and subsequent repurchase by the mortgage company for sale of the loan into the secondary market. Each individual mortgage is assigned to the Bank until the loan is repurchased and sold to the secondary market by the mortgage company. Also, the Bank takes possession of each original note and forwards such note to the end investor once the mortgage company has sold the loan. The individual loans are typically sold by the mortgage company within 30 days of origination and are seldom held more than 90 days. Interest income is accrued by the Bank during this period and fee income for each loan sold is collected when the sale has been completed.

Purchased Loans: The Company purchased a group of loans through the acquisition of City Savings Financial Corporation on October 12, 2007. Purchased loans that showed evidence of credit deterioration since their origination are recorded at an allocated fair value, such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses. After acquisition, incurred losses are recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses.

Purchased loans are accounted for individually or aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics (e.g., credit score, loan type, and date of origination). The Company estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each purchased loan or pool, and the expected cash flows in excess of amount paid is recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield). The excess of the loan’s or pool’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference).

Over the life of the loan or pool, expected cash flows continue to be estimated. If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded. If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.

A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

All individually classified commercial and commercial real estate loans are evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Company determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over certain time periods. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 18 months for the commercial portfolio segment and over the last 12 months for all other portfolio segments. For the fourth quarter of 2012 through the third quarter of 2013, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 24 months for the commercial portfolio segment and over the last 3 years for all other portfolio segments. For the fourth quarter of 2013, the historical loss experience was based on the actual loss history experienced over the last 3 years for all portfolio segments. Management determined this change in assumption better represents current probable losses related to non-impaired loans as of December 31, 2013 by incorporating a longer loss history which includes the most recent economic downturn. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other change in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.

The following portfolio segments have been identified: Commercial, Mortgage, Mortgage Warehouse, Residential Construction, Indirect Auto, Home Equity, and Consumer and Other. The risk characteristics of each of the identified portfolio segments are as follows:

Commercial – Subject to decreases in demand for certain products or services; increasing production costs; increases in interest rates on adjustable rate loans may impact borrowers’ ability to continue payments; and adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral.

Mortgage – Subject to adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral; adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and incremental rate increases on adjustable rate mortgages may impact borrowers’ ability to continue payments.

Mortgage Warehouse – Subject to higher fraud risk than our other lending areas and decreased market values in real estate throughout the country.

Residential Construction – Subject to adverse market conditions, which may cause a decrease in the value of underlying collateral; and adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates.

Indirect Auto – Subject to higher fraud risk than our other lending areas; adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased value of the underlying collateral.

Home Equity – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased market values due to adverse real estate market conditions.

Consumer and Other – Subject to adverse employment conditions in the local economy, which may lead to an increase in default rates; and decreased value of the underlying collateral.

The Bank is subject to periodic examinations by its federal and state regulatory examiners, and may be required by such regulators to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their assessment of credit information available to them at the time of their examinations. The process of assessing the allowance for loan losses is necessarily subjective. Further, and particularly in times of economic downturns, it is reasonably possible that future credit losses may exceed historical loss levels and may also exceed management’s current estimates of incurred credit losses inherent within the loan portfolio. As such, there can be no assurance that future charge-offs will not exceed management’s current estimate of what constitutes a reasonable allowance for loan losses.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: When mortgage loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in net gains on mortgage banking activities. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds, and default rates and losses. The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type, and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with loan servicing fees, net on the consolidated statements of income. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

Servicing fee income, which is reported on the consolidated statements of income as loan servicing fees, net, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. Loan servicing fees, net totaled $103,000 and $(26,000) for the years ended December 2013 and 2012. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material.

Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

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. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated on an accelerated or straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of FHLB stock based on the level of FHLB borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: All goodwill on the Company’s balance sheet resulted from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected October 31st as the date to perform the annual impairment test. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.

Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets arising from a whole bank acquisition. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, which range from 4 to 15 years.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Derivatives: At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value hedge”), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”), or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”). As of December 31, 2013, the Company had entered into four cash flow hedge transactions. For a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in current earnings as fair values change. For a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For both types of hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not highly effective in hedging the changes in fair value or expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported currently in earnings, as noninterest income.

Net cash settlements on derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in interest income or interest expense, based on the item being hedged. Net cash settlements on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported in noninterest income. Cash flows on hedges are classified in the cash flow statement the same as the cash flows of the items being hedged.

The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship. This documentation includes linking fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or terminates, a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, a hedged firm commitment is no longer firm, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge is no longer appropriate or intended.

When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded as noninterest income. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transactions are still expected to occur, gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are amortized into earnings over the same periods which the hedged transactions will affect earnings.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives: Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest rate on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in net gains on mortgage banking activities on the consolidated statements of income.

Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, 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.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Split-dollar life insurance plan expense and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan: The cost of shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of shares as they are committed to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ESOP shares reduce debt and accrued interest.

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities for this calculation. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.

Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, includes net changes in net unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, net of tax, reclassification adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges, which are also recognized as a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.

Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the Bancorp or by the Bancorp to shareholders.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

Operating Segments: While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Operating segments are aggregated into one as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards: 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 2013-01 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 20.

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, or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net 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 19.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04 “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans Upon Foreclosure.” This ASU clarifies when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and states that a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The new requirements are effective for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Adopting this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES

LOAN COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES

Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk were as follows at the dates indicated:

	December 31,
	2013				2012
	Fixed Rate		Variable Rate		Fixed Rate		Variable Rate
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to make loans	$	2,326	$	676	$	777	$	1,852

Total	$	8,043	$	26,197	$	5,777	$	29,028

Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less. The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates from 2.74% to 9.04% and maturities of up to 180 months at December 31, 2013. The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates from 5.30% to 5.95% and a maturity of 60 months at December 31, 2012.

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.

	$	2,376		$	694

The valuation allowance has been established against the portion of the Company’s net state tax deferred tax asset that management feels is not realizable as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company has an Indiana net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1.5 million at December 31, 2013 which will expire in 2028, if not used. The Company also has Indiana enterprise zone credit carryforwards of approximately $53,000 at December 31, 2013 which will expire in 2015 through 2017, if not used. The Company also has a state capital loss carryforward of $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012 which will expire in 2014.

Total income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes as a result of the following:

	At December 31,
	2013			2012
	(Dollars in thousands)
Expected income tax expense at:
Federal tax rate	$	1,782		$	1,966
State tax expense, net of federal benefit	55			114
Increase (decrease) resulting from:
Effect of tax exempt income (net)	(652		)	(626		)
Other, net	42			42
Total income tax expense	$	1,227		$	1,496
Effective tax rate	23.4		%	25.9		%

Unrecognized Tax Benefits:

The Company has no unrecognized tax positions at December 31, 2013 or 2012 not already addressed by the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The Company does not expect a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

Federal income tax laws provided savings banks with additional bad debt deductions through 1995 which total $2.7 million for the Company. Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which liability would otherwise total $904,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012. If the Company were liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank or if tax laws change, the $904,000 would be recorded as expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

12 Months Ended

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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 the 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 expense related to the Plan totaled $243,000 and $243,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees or directors, based on their grant date fair value. 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 grant date is used for restricted stock awards.

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

Stock Options

The Plan permits stock option grants 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, vesting periods of five years, and a 10-year contractual term. Options granted generally vest 20% annually.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model based on the assumptions noted 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 Company granted 8,000 options during the year ended December 31, 2013 and no options during the year ended December 31, 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%. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $2.09.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan for the year ended December 31, 2013 follows:

	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Outstanding at beginning of year	281,829		$	6.44	8.0 years	$	659
Granted	8,000		10.19		10.0 years
Exercised	(12,968	)	6.44
Forfeited or expired	(5,667	)	6.44
Outstanding at end of year	271,194		6.55		7.8 years	1,239
Fully vested and expected to vest	271,194		6.55		7.8 years	1,239
Exercisable at end of year	98,570		6.44		7.8 years	461

During the year ended December 31, 2013, 12,968 options were exercised which had an intrinsic value of $52,000. The Company received $84,000 in cash and realized $28,000 in tax benefits related to the exercise of these options. There were no options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, there was $260,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 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 grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock as determined by the listing price on the respective date. Shares vest 20% annually over five years. The Plan had 388 shares available for future grant at December 31, 2013.

A summary of changes in the Company’s nonvested restricted shares for the year ended December 31, 2013 follows:

	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair  Value
Nonvested at beginning of year	93,528		$	6.44
Granted	2,000		10.19
Vested	(23,382	)	6.44
Forfeited	—		—
Nonvested at end of year	72,146		6.54

As of December 31, 2013, there was $427,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested shares granted under the Plan. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. At December 31, 2013, the nonvested shares had an intrinsic value of $330,000.

Fair Value

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE

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 values 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, less estimated costs to sell. 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 foreclosures are initially recorded at fair value less cost 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 and 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 December 31, 2013.

	Valuation Methodology	Unobservable Inputs	Range of Inputs	Average of Inputs
Impaired loans:
Commercial:
Real Estate	Appraisals	Discounts for changes in market conditions	10-65%	21%
Land	Appraisals	Discounts for changes in market conditions	0-10%	8%

	Valuation Methodology	Unobservable Inputs	Range of Inputs	Average of Inputs
Impaired loans:
Commercial:
Real Estate	Appraisals	Discount for changes in market conditions	10-30%	20%
Land	Appraisals	Discount for changes in market conditions	0-40%	17%
Mortgage	Appraisals	Discount for changes in market conditions	0-20%	11%

Land	Appraisals	Discount for changes in market conditions	6-17%	11%
Mortgage	Appraisals	Discount for changes in market conditions	7-29%	18%

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 December 31, 2013 was determined using a discount rate of 10.0%, prepayment speeds ranging from 6.5% to 23.0%, 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%.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option, are summarized below:

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 a Level 2 classification.

Deposits: The carrying amounts of demand deposits approximate fair values and are classified as Level 2. Fair value 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 classification.

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.

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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, the outstanding balance of loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings totaled $2.2 million and $842,000, respectively. At December 31, 2013, $1.9 million of loans modified as troubled debt restructurings were considered performing and in accordance with their repayment terms, and $227,000 of loans modified as troubled debt restructurings were considered nonperforming. At December 31, 2012, all loans modified as troubled debt resturcturings were considered nonperforming. The Company has allocated $61,000 and $0, respectively of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts as of December 31, 2013 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

During the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2012, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

The following table presents loans by class that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the year ending December 31, 2013:

	Number of Loans	Pre-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment		Post-Modification Outstanding Recorded Investment

Real estate	3	$	1,884	$	1,882

The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0 and resulted in charge-offs of $0 during the year ending December 31, 2013.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the year ending December 31, 2012:

The troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0 and resulted in charge-offs of $0 during the year ending December 31, 2013.

The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the year ending December 31, 2012:

	Number of Loans	Recorded Investment
Troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted:	(Dollars in thousands)
Mortgage	1	$	127
Total	1	$	127

The troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $0 and resulted in charge-offs of $0 during the year ending December 31, 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 under the Company’s management loan committee.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes 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. The Bank monitors credit quality on loans not rated through the loan’s individual payment performance.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In June 2003, City Savings Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a trust formed by City Savings Financial Corporation, closed a pooled private offering of 5,000 trust preferred securities with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per security. City Savings Financial Corporation issued $5.2 million of subordinated debentures to the Trust in exchange for ownership of all of the common security of the Trust and the proceeds of the preferred securities sold by the Trust. On October 12, 2007, the Company purchased the ownership of the common securities of the Trust as a result of its acquisition of City Savings Financial Corporation. The Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of this Trust (variable interest entity), therefore the Trust is not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability. The Company’s investment in the common stock of the Trust was $155,000 and is included in other assets in the December 31, 2013 and 2012 consolidated balance sheets.

The Company may redeem the subordinated debentures, in whole or in part, in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000, on or after June 26, 2008 at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The subordinated debentures mature on June 26, 2033.

The Company has the right to defer interest payments by extending the interest payment period during the term of the subordinated debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods.

The subordinated debentures are also redeemable in whole or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence of specific events defined within the Trust indenture.

The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier I capital (with certain limitations applicable) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The subordinated debentures have a variable rate of interest equal to the 3-Month LIBOR plus 3.10% which was 3.35% and 3.41%, respectively at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s goodwill totaled $8.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company determined that no impairment of its goodwill existed during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. 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 Company’s single reporting unit, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, and estimating the fair value of the reporting unit. Management determined the fair value of the reporting unit and compared it to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step to the impairment test is required. The Company’s annual impairment analysis performed as of October 31, 2013 indicated that the Step 2 analysis was not necessary.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s core deposit intangible assets had a net carrying value of $274,000 and $363,000, respectively. The total gross carrying amount of the core deposit intangible assets totaled $1.5 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012 and is reported net of accumulated amortization of $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Aggregate amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $89,000 and $111,000, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense related to the Company’s core deposit intangibles for each of the next five years is as follows:

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

During 2007, the Bank implemented an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), which covers substantially all of its employees. In connection with the second step stock offering on October 4, 2012, the Company issued 270,768 shares of common stock which were added to 59,650 allocated converted shares and 178,949 unallocated converted shares from the original ESOP for a total of 509,367 shares. The 449,717 unallocated shares of common stock are eligible for allocation under the ESOP in exchange for a twenty-year note in the amount of $3.6 million. The $3.6 million for the ESOP share purchase was borrowed from the Company with the ESOP shares being pledged as collateral for the loan.

The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets. The Company is able to make discretionary contributions to the ESOP, as well as pay dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and ESOP expense is recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts.

Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. During the year ended December 31, 2013, 8,354 allocated shares were distributed to former participants.

Contributions to the ESOP during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $163,000 and $201,000, respectively. ESOP related expenses totaled $229,000 and $195,000, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Shares held by the ESOP were as follows at the dates indicated:

	At December 31,

Allocated to participants	96,268		82,136

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVES

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 swaps does not represent amounts 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 agreements.

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 both December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $220,000 in cash and securities with fair market values of $2.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively, posted as collateral for these derivatives.

Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges: Interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $30.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, were designated as cash flow hedges of subordinated debentures, certain CDARS deposits, and FHLB advances and were determined to be fully effective during the years then ended. 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 reclassed from other comprehensive income (loss) over the next 12 months.

Information related to the interest-rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges were as follows for the periods presented:

At December 31, 2013, the Company held 122 investments in debt securities which were in an unrealized loss position, of which 110 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 it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell these debt securities before their anticipated recovery.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Plan: The Bank maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan (“401(k) Plan”) for all employees. Employees must be 21 years of age to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Employees are eligible to enter the 401(k) Plan upon the day of the quarter following employment and are eligible for matching employer contributions upon the day of the quarter following one year of employment. Voluntary participant contributions may be made in the range of 1% to 75% of employee compensation. The Company will make matching employer contributions equal to 25% of the participant’s voluntary contributions on the first 6% of the participant’s voluntary contributions. Employee contributions are 100% vested. Employer matching contributions are vested over five years. The Company made matching contributions totaling $58,000 and $52,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan: Effective August 1, 2002, a supplemental retirement plan was established to cover selective officers. The Bank records an expense equal to the projected present value of payments due at retirement based on the projected remaining years of service. The obligation under the plans was $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The expense attributable to the plan, included in salaries and employee benefits in the consolidated statements of income, was $128,000 and $288,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plans: Effective January 1, 2003, life insurance plans were provided for certain officers on a split-dollar basis. The officer’s designated beneficiary(s) is entitled to a percentage of the death proceeds from the split-dollar policies. The Bank is entitled to the remainder of the death proceeds less any loans on the policies and unpaid interest or cash withdrawals previously incurred by the Bank. The cash surrender value of these life insurance policies related to the Bank’s supplemental employee retirement plan totaled $13.7 million and $11.3 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Bank is the owner of the split-dollar policies.
