Strategic Focus
We operate on a national basis through our scalable Internet banking platform to gather deposits and offer residential mortgage and consumer lending products rather than relying on a conventional brick and mortar branch system. We also primarily conduct commercial banking and related activities primarily on a local basis, except for our single tenant lease financing product which is offered nationwide. Our overriding strategic focus is enhancing franchise and shareholder value.value while maintaining strong risk management policies and procedures. We believe the continued creation of franchise and shareholder value will be driven by profitable growth in consumer and commercial banking, effective underwriting, strong asset quality and efficient technology-driven operations.

National Focus on Deposit and Consumer Banking Growth. Our first product offerings were basic deposit accounts, certificates of deposit, electronic bill pay and credit cards. Within 90 days of opening, we had accounts with consumers in all 50 states. Over the years, we added secured consumer loans, lines of credit, home equity loans and single-family mortgages. Our footprint for deposit gathering and these consumer lending activities is the entire nation. With the use of our Internet-based technology platform, we do not face geographic boundaries that traditional banks must overcome for customer acquisition. Armed with smart phones, tablets and computers, our customers can access our online banking system, bill pay, and remote deposit capture 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on a real timereal-time basis. In addition, we have dedicated banking specialists who can service customer needs via telephone, email or online chat. We intend to continue to expand our deposit base by leveraging technology and through cross-selling capabilities as well as targeted marketing efforts.
Commercial Banking Growth.Over the past several years, weWe have diversifiedcontinued to diversify our operations by adding commercial banking to complement our consumer platform. We offer traditional CRE loans, single tenant lease financing, C&I loans, asset based lending, corporate credit cards and treasury management services. Our commercial lending teams consist of seasoned commercial bankers, most of whom have had extensive careers with larger money center, super-regional or regional banks. These lenders leverage deep market knowledge and experience to serve commercial borrowers with a relationship-based approach. We are continuing to develop new products and services for this market which is expected to produce additional revenue. We also intend to grow and expand our commercial banking platform by hiring additional seasoned loan officers and relationship managers with specialized market or product expertise.
Experience.Our management team and our Board of Directors are integral to our success. Our management team and Board of Directors are led by David B. Becker, the founder of First Internet Bank of Indiana. Mr. Becker is a seasoned business executive and entrepreneur with over three decades of management experience in the financial services and financial technology space, and has served as our Chief Executive Officer since 2005. Mr. Becker has been the recipient of numerous business awards, including Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2002,2001, and is an inductee towas inducted into the Central Indiana Business Hall of Fame.Fame in 2008. The senior management team consists of individuals with backgrounds in both regional and community banking and financial technology services. The senior management team is complemented by a dedicated Board of Directors with a wide range of experience from careers in financial services, legal and regulatory services, and industrial services.
The leaders of our lending teams and members of their staff are highly seasoned, career bankers who bring deep banking knowledge and relationships from regional, super-regional or money center banks. Our management team has a wealth of banking knowledge from a wide variety of backgrounds which gives us significant market insight and allows us to leverage their comprehensive, long-term customer relationships. We organize our lending teams as follows: Commercial and Industrial, Commercial Real Estate, Consumer, and Mortgage Banking. We will continue to search for seasoned bankers who can add new lending verticals and sources of revenue.
Profitability. We intend to continue to leverage our technology, our long-term commercialcustomer relationships and our noninterest income sources to drive profitability. As we continue to grow, we believe that our model will produce a greater level of efficiency than more traditional community banks, with the goal of higher returns on assets and shareholders’ equity.
Maintain Asset Quality, Diversified Loan Portfolio and Effective Underwriting. We place an emphasis on our strong credit culture and strict underwriting standards of diverse loan products to maintain our excellent credit quality. AtAs of December 31, 2014,2015, the composition of our loan portfolio consistedwas 38.4% consumer loans, 61.1% commercial loans and 0.5% net deferred loan origination costs and premiums and discounts on purchased loans. As of 37.7% CRE, 10.6% C&I, 13.3%December 31, 2011, the composition of our loan portfolio was 82.9% consumer loans, 16.1% commercial loans and 38.4% residential real estate1.0% net deferred loan origination costs and premiums and discounts on purchased loans.
Efficiency Through Technology. To date, we have pursued growth in a prudent and disciplined fashion. We will continue to monitor our efficiency ratio and intend to invest in and utilize technology to compete more effectively as we grow in the future. Through our online account access services, augmented by our team of dedicated banking specialists, we can satisfy all of the needs of our retail and commercial customers in an efficient manner. Our data processing systems run on a “real-time” basis, unlike many banks that run a “batch system”,system,” so customers benefit from an up-to-the-minute picture of their financial position-particularlyposition, particularly our commercial customers who complete numerous transactions in a single day. We believe we have built a scalable banking infrastructure based upon technology, rather than a traditional branch network, and that our Internet banking processes are capable of supporting continued growth while improving operational efficiencies.
Expand Market Share Through Disciplined Acquisition Strategy. We may expand through acquisitions on an opportunistic basis, primarily as a means of securing additional asset generation capabilities and product or geographic expertise.

Lending Activities 
Residential Mortgage Lending. We offer first-lien residential mortgage loans in 50 states and second-lien (home equity)earn interest income on loans as well as home equity linesfee income from the origination of credit in 47 states. We offerloans. Lending activities include loans for home buyers (purchase money) as well as existing homeowners who wish to refinance their current loans. Over the past two years, we have re-focused our business model to emphasize purchase mortgage business while also allowing us the flexibility to capitalize on refinance activity. In 2014, approximately 60%individuals, which primarily consist of theresidential real estate loans, we originated were refinances, compared to 70% in 2013 and 87% in 2012.
We attract credit-worthy loan applicants through disciplined online lead generation efforts and through repeat business from past customers. We track our acquisition costs vigilantly and use customer relationship management tools to track prospects and identify the most likely sales opportunities on which to focus our efforts.
We currently sell the vast majority of our conforming conventional (fixed rate) loans in the secondary market and thereby avoid the potential interest rate risk of these loans. We generally retain variable rate non-conforming (jumbo) loans in our portfolio.

In 2014, we expanded our residential mortgage lending capabilities with a construction lending initiative. The program allows Central Indiana homeowners to finance the construction of a new home and convert the loan to a mortgage loan upon completion of construction, with only one visit to the closing table.
We also actively promote home equity loans and lines of credit, through our Internet channel, leveraging our robust yet easy-to-use customer-facing toolset. We continue to expand our efforts to complement our first-lien products.
Consumer Lending. While we offerand consumer loans, and credit cards through our websiteloans to a nationwide consumer base, the majority of our consumercommercial clients, which include commercial loans, have been acquired through indirect dealer networks, primarily horse trailers and recreational vehicles (RVs). In recent years, we expanded our recreational product dealer network and implemented a new loan origination system to improve both the customer experience and document tracking during the underwriting process.
Commercial Real Estate Lending. The vast majority of our traditional investmentcommercial real estate loans, are secured by office, retail, industrial, single family residential, and multi-family properties located in the State of Indiana, with single tenant, long term lease financing originated on a nationwide basis. At December 31, 2014, $273.9 million, or 37.7% of our loan portfolio consisted of CRE loans.
We believe our CRE portfolio will continue its growth in two ways: (1) regionally, in more traditional short and intermediate-term financing arrangements supporting local developers and conventional property types (office, retail, industrial, residential development & construction, multi-family); and (2) nationally, where we will concentrate on intermediate and longer term financing of properties occupied by single tenants committed to long-term leases with borrowers providing significant cash equity in relation to the amount borrowed.
Commercial and Industrial Lending. Historically, we originated C&I loans as a result of referrals we received from customers and third parties. In 2011, we established a C&I lending team through the recruitment of seasoned relationship managers focused on serving commercial borrowers in the Central Indiana area. In 2013, we expanded our commercial lending capabilities by opening a loan production office in Tempe, Arizona and by creating a new division that offers asset based lending services. Operating under the name First Internet Bank Business Capital, the new asset based lending division provides working capital to small-to-medium sized companies in the form of revolving lines of credit, backed by accounts receivableletters of credit, and inventory as well as term loans backed by real estate and equipment.

The recent increase in our C&I lending activity is intended to further diversify our lending portfolio and increase opportunities for new business. In addition to commercial loan originations, C&I relationships can result in new deposits, fee income from treasury management products, and opportunities to cross-sell other products such as residential mortgage loans and consumer home equity and installment loans. C&I customers and their advisors also serve as referral sources for additional new business opportunities. In order to attract deposits from C&I borrowers, which diversifies our deposit mix and reduces our cost of funds, and to enhance our noninterest income, we offer these borrowers expanded online account access and treasury management service capabilities.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless, in the judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized and in the process of collection. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectability of the loan. Restructured loans include troubled debt restructurings that involved forgiving a portion of interest or principal, granting interest rate concessions, or maturity date extensions to those borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulties. Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in the settlement of loans.

Allocation of Allowance for Loan Losses
The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision is one of our critical accounting policies that is subject to significant estimates, as discussed within the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Item 7 of Part II of this report, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The current level of the allowance for loan losses is a result of management’s assessment of the risks within the portfolio based on the information obtained through the credit evaluation process. The Company utilizes a risk-rating system on non-homogenous CRE and C&I loans that includes regular credit reviews to identify and quantify the risk in the commercial portfolio. Management conducts quarterly reviews of the entire loan portfolio and evaluates the need to establish allowances on the basis of these reviews.

7



Management actively monitors asset quality and, when appropriate, charges off loans against the allowance for loan losses. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used to determine the size of the allowance for loan losses.
The following tables reflect the allowance for loan losses and its allocations for the periods indicated.

Underwriting Procedures and Standards
Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory policies with loan approval limits approved by the Board of Directors. Loan officers have underwriting and approval authorization of varying amounts based on their years of experience in the lending field. Additionally, based on the amount of the loan, multiple approvals may be required. Per the Company’s legal lending limit, the maximum the Bank could lend to any one borrower at December 31, 2014 was $13.4 million.
Our goal is to have a well-diversified and balanced loan portfolio. In order to manage our loan portfolio risk, we establish concentration limits by borrower, product type, industry and geography. To supplement our internal loan review resources, we have engaged an independent third-party loan review group, which is a part of our internal loan review function.
Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential real estate loans generally include loans for the purchase or refinance of residential real estate properties consisting of 1-4 family units and home equity loans and lines of credit.  We currently sell substantially all of the long-term fixed rate residential real estate loans that we originate to secondary market investors. We also release the servicing of these loans upon sale. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of the borrowers and generally administering the loans.

We typically retain all adjustable rate residential real estate loans that exceed the government maximum conforming loan amount (which is currently $417,000). Loans secured by first liens on residential real estate retained in the portfolio typically do not exceed 80% of the value of the collateral, are adjustable rate, and have amortization periods of thirty years or less.
single tenant lease financing. Residential real estate loans are typically underwritteneither kept in our loan portfolio or sold to conformsecondary investors, with gains or losses from the sales being recognized within noninterest income. Refer to industry standards including criteria for maximum debt-to-income and loan-to-value ratios as well as minimum credit scores. Our underwriting focuses on the applicant’s ability to repay the loan from his or her employment and from other sources.  We verify an applicant’s credit information using third-party records and tax transcripts through the IRS.
Additionally, our residential mortgage underwriters use a third party product to assess the riskNote 4 of the loan transactionfinancial statements for both the collateral and applicant. The product helps us identify suspicious mortgage loans and analyzes the property and neighborhood characteristics forfurther discussion of each transaction.  From the date of application to the date of closing, all of an applicant’s credit activity is monitored.  All appraisals are reviewed by our collateral underwriter, who is an Indiana state certified appraiser.  The collateral underwriter has several third party products that help assess the quality of the appraisal, the comparables chosen, and the value determination.
We do not offer, and have never offered, “subprime loans” (loans that generally target borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios).
Consumer Loans. Consumer loans are primarily comprised of installment loans and credit cards. The majority of our consumer loans are horse trailer and recreational vehicle loans, underwritten by our staff for buyers whose applications were sent to us through a dealer network.  Minimum underwriting criteria have been established that consider credit score, debt-to-income ratio, employment history, the advance percentage and collateral coverage.  Typically, consumer loans are set up on monthly payments with amortization periods based on the type and age of the collateral.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. Traditional CRE loans are comprised of credit extended to developers or owners of real estate for the following purposes: (1) leasing space to non-related commercial entities; (2) construction and land development of residential and commercial projects; and (3) interim financing to developers/owners of multi-family residential structures, such as apartment buildings and condominiums.  CRE loans are underwritten primarily based on historical and projected cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the appraised value of the underlying real estate pledged as collateral on the debt. Single tenant lease financing activities target individual and institutional real estate investors purchasing commercial properties occupied under long-term leasing arrangements by national or regional tenants.  These transactions are typically longer term in nature given the longer contractual lease periods and the reliability of the cash flow from financially sound tenants.  For the various types of commercial real estate loans, minimum criteria have been established within the Bank’s loan policy regarding debt service coverage while maximum limits on loan-to-value, loan term and amortization periods have been defined.  Loan-to-value ratios range from 50% to 80% depending upon the type of real estate collateral, while the desired debt coverage ratio range is 1.05x to 1.80x.
The Bank’s CRE loan portfolio is monitored on an ongoing basis through the completion of periodic credit reviews and site inspections, and the review of financial statement updates, property rent rolls, guarantor tax returns and personal financial statements, insurance renewals and property tax payments.segment.
Commercial and Industrial Loans. C&I loans consist of loans for business expansion as well as working capital loans used to purchase inventory and fund accounts receivable that are secured by business assets other than real estate.  Also, new equipment financing is provided to businesses with these loans generally limited to 90% of the value of the collateral and amortization periods limited to seven years. C&I loans are often accompanied by a personal guaranty of the principal owners of a business. As with CRE loans, the underlying cash flow on a historic and projected basis of the business is the primary consideration in the underwriting process, with a desired minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.20x. We also assess the management’s operational effectiveness, level of equity invested in the business and customer relationships. We also consider relevant economic and industry factors, as well as competitor and supplier information relating to the applicant’s business.  The financial condition of commercial borrowers is monitored at least annually with the type of financial information required determined by the size of the relationship.  We address the needs of businesses with higher risk profiles through the use of government-assisted lending programs through the Small Business Administration. We determine the loan structure after evaluating what is appropriate for the specific situation and establish monitoring mechanisms for going forward.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds
 
We obtain deposits through the ACH network (direct deposit as well as customer-directed transfers of funds from outside financial institutions), remote and mobile deposit capture, mailed checks, wire transfers and a deposit-taking ATM network. We do not currently solicit brokered deposits, althoughAdditionally, we had approximately $13.5$12.8 million in brokered time deposits at December 31, 20142015 that were originated in prior years.
 
The Bank does not own or operate any ATMs. Through network participation, the Bank’s customers are able to use nearly any ATM worldwide to withdraw cash. The Bank currently rebates up to $10.00 per customer per month for surcharges our customers incur when using an ATM owned by another institution. Management believes this program is more cost effective for the Bank, and more convenient for customers, than it would be to build and maintain a proprietary nationwide ATM network for our customers.
 
By providing robust online capabilities, quality customer service and competitive pricing for the products and services offered, we have been able to develop relationships with our retail customers and build brand loyalty. As a result, we are not dependent upon costly account acquisition campaigns to attract new customers on a continual basis.

the entire United States. We also deliver ouroffer single tenant lease financing and asset based lending services nationally. We serve our traditionalon a nationwide basis.

CompetitionCompetition
 
The markets in which we compete to make loans and attract deposits are highly competitive.
 
For retail banking activities, we compete with other banks that use the Internet as a primary service channel, including Ally Bank, EverBank and Bank of Internet. However, we also compete with other banks, savings banks, credit unions, investment banks, insurance companies, securities brokerages and other financial institutions, as nearly all have some form of Internet delivery for their services. For residential mortgage lending, competitors that use the Internet as a primary service channel include Quicken Loans and Discover Home Loans.Loan Depot. However, we also compete with the major banks in residential mortgage lending, including Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo.
 
For our traditional commercial lending activities, we compete with larger financial institutions operating in the Midwest and Central Indiana regions, including Key Bank, PNC Bank, Chase, BMO Harris, Huntington National Bank and First Financial Bank. In the Southwest, competitors include Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Bank of Arizona and CoBiz Bank. AllFor our single tenant lease financing activities, we compete nationally with regional banks, local banks and credit unions, as well as life insurance companies and commercial mortgage-backed securities lenders. Examples of these competitors include Wells Fargo, Everbank and StanCorp. These competitors may have significantly greater financial resources and higher lending limits than we do, and may also offer specialized products and services that we do not. For our commercial clients, we offer a highly personalized relationship and fast, local decision making.
 
In the United States, banking has experienced widespread consolidation over the last decade leading to the emergence of several large nationwide banking institutions. These competitors have significantly greater financial resources and offer many branch locations as well as a variety of services we do not. We have attempted to offset some of the advantages of the larger competitors by leveraging technology to deliver product solutions and better compete in targeted segments. We have positioned ourselves as an alternative to these institutions for consumers who do not wish to subsidize the cost of large branch networks through high fees and unfavorable rates.

We anticipate that consolidation will continue in the financial services industry and perhaps accelerate as a result of ongoing financial stress, intensified competition for the same customer segments and significantly increased regulatory burdens and rules that are expected to increase expenses and put pressure on earnings.

Regulation and Supervision
 
General
 
WeBecause the Company is a public company, it is subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Under these regulations, the Company is considered to be an accelerated filer and, as such, must comply with SEC reporting requirements applicable to accelerated filers.

The Company and the Bank are extensively regulated under federal and state law. We areThe Company is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”) and, as such, areis subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). We areThe Company is required to file reports with the Federal Reserve on a quarterly basis.
 
The Bank is an Indiana-chartered bank formed pursuant to the Indiana Financial Institutions Act (the “IFIA”). As such, the Bank is regularly examined by and subject to regulations promulgated by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”) and the FDIC as its primary federal bank regulator. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.
 
The regulatory environment affecting usthe Company has been and continues to be altered by the enactment of new statutes and the adoption of new regulations as well as by revisions to, and evolving interpretations of, existing regulations. State and federal banking agencies have significant discretion in the conduct of their supervisory and enforcement activities and their examination policies. Any change in such practices and policies could have a material impact on ourthe Company’s operations and shareholders.
 
The following discussion is intended to be a summary of the material statutes, regulations and regulatory directives that are currently applicable to us. It does not purport to be comprehensive or complete and it is expressly subject to and modified by reference to the text of the applicable statutes, regulations and directives.
 
The Dodd-Frank Act
 
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) comprehensively reformed the regulation of financial institutions and the products and services they offer. Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act noted in this section are also discussed in other sections. Furthermore, many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require further study or rulemaking by federal agencies, a process which will take years to implement fully.
 
Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act provides for new capital standards that eliminate or restrict the treatment of trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital based on the asset size of an institution. The Company has never issued any trust preferred

securities. The Dodd-Frank Act permanently raised deposit insurance levels to $250,000, retroactive to January 1, 2008, and provided unlimited deposit insurance coverage for non-interest bearingnoninterest-bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012. Pursuant to modifications under the Dodd-Frank Act, deposit insurance assessments are now being calculated based on an insured depository institution’s assets rather than its insured deposits, and the minimum reserve ratio of the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”) has been raised to 1.35%. The payment of interest on business demand deposit accounts is permitted by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the Federal Reserve to regulate interchange fees for debit card transactions and established new minimum mortgage underwriting standards for residential mortgages. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act barred certain banking organizations from engaging in proprietary trading and from sponsoring and investing in hedge funds and private equity funds, except as permitted under certain limited circumstances. The Dodd-Frank Act empowered the newly established Financial Stability Oversight Council to designate certain activities as posing a risk to the U.S. financial system and to recommend new or heightened standards and safeguards for financial organizations engaging in such activities.

The Dodd-Frank Act also established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) as an independent agency within the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The CFPB has the exclusive authority to administer, enforce, and otherwise implement federal consumer financial laws, which includes the power to make rules, issue orders, and issue guidance governing the provision of consumer financial products and services. The CFPB has exclusive federal consumer law supervisory authority and primary enforcement authority over insured depository institutions with assets totaling over $10 billion. Authority for institutions with $10 billion or less rests with the prudential regulator, and in the case of the Bank will be enforced by the FDIC. The CFPB iswas also required to establish four offices: 1) Office of Fair Lending and Equal Opportunity, 2) Office of Financial Education, 3) Office of Service Member Affairs, and 4) Office of Financial Protection for Older Americans. Additionally, the Bureau iswas required to establish a Consumer Advisory Board to advise and consult with the Bureau in the exercise of its functions. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act established the Office of Financial Research, which has the power to require reports from other financial services companies.

On December 10, 2013, five federal agencies published the final “Volcker Rule” pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the Volcker Rule imposes significant limitations on certain activities by covered banks and bank holding companies, including restrictions on holding certain types of securities, proprietary trading and private equity investing. Most of the limitations imposed by the Volcker Rule are not likely to impact smaller banks which do not engage in proprietary trading or private equity activities. However, the restrictions on investing in hedge funds and similar entities could impact the ability to invest in collateralized debt obligations and other investments that many smaller banks hold. On January 14, 2014, through publication of an Interim Final Rule, the federal banking agencies clarified that investments by banks in certain trust preferred collateralized debt obligations are not prohibited by the Volcker Rule. However, the ultimate effect of theThe Volcker Rule did not have any material implications on the Bank remains uncertain.or our investments or activities.
 
On October 3, 2015, the CFPB’s final rules on integrated mortgage disclosures under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act became effective.  The new disclosures are intended to improve disclosures to consumers and also contain tolerance limitations that may cause lenders to refund fees charged to consumers when certain costs vary between the initial and final disclosure.

Holding Company Regulation
 
We are subject to supervision and examination as a bank holding company by the Federal Reserve under the BHCA. In addition, the Federal Reserve has the authority to issue orders to bank holding companies to cease and desist from unsafe or unsound banking practices and from violations of conditions imposed by, or violations of agreements with, the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is also empowered, among other things, to assess civil money penalties against companies or individuals who violate Federal Reserve orders or regulations, to order termination of nonbanking activities of bank holding companies and to order termination of ownership and control of a nonbanking subsidiary by a bank holding company. Federal Reserve approval is also required in connection with bank holding companies’ acquisitions of more than 5% of the voting shares of any class of a depository institution or its holding company and, among other things, in connection with the bank holding company’s engaging in new activities.
 
Under the BHCA, our activities are limited to businesses so closely related to banking, managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The BHCA also requires a bank holding company to obtain approval from the Federal Reserve before (1) acquiring or holding more than a 5% voting interest in any bank or bank holding company, (2) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company or (3) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.
 
We have not filed an election with the Federal Reserve to be treated as a “financial holding company,” a type of holding company that can engage in certain insurance and securities-related activities that are not permitted for a bank holding company.
 
Source of Strength. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength for the Bank in the event of the financial distress of the Bank. This provision codifies the longstanding policy of the Federal Reserve. Although the Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal banking agencies to issue regulations to implement the source of strength provisions, no regulations have been promulgated at this time. In addition, any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its depository subsidiaries are subordinate to the payment of deposits and to certain other indebtedness. In the event of

14



a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a depository subsidiary will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Regulatory Capital. The Federal Reserve sets risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. Under the guidelines and related policies, bank holding companies must maintain capital sufficient to meet both a risk-based asset ratio test and a leverage ratio test on a consolidated basis. The guidelines provide a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, takes off-balance sheet exposures expressly into account in evaluating capital adequacy and minimizes disincentives to holding assets considered by regulatory agencies to be liquid and low-risk. The risk-based ratio is determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments into risk-weighted categories, with higher weighting assigned to categories perceived as representing greater risk. The risk-based ratio represents total capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio is Tier 1 capital divided by total average assets adjusted as specified in the guidelines. The Bank, supervised by the FDIC and DFI, is subject to substantially similar capital requirements. Our applicable capital ratios as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized in Note 13 to the financial statements.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve published final rules (the “Basel III Capital Rules”) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. bank holding companies. The FDIC adopted substantially identical standards for institutions, like the Bank, subject to its jurisdiction in an interim final rule. The Basel III Capital Rules implement requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. These rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to depository institutions and their holding companies, including the Company and the Bank. The Basel III Capital Rules were effective for all banks as of January 1, 2015, subject to certain phase-in periods for some requirements.

Among other things, the Basel III Capital Rules (i) introduce a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) apply most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures to CET1 and not to the other components of capital, thus potentially requiring higher levels of CET1 in order to meet minimum ratios, and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions/adjustments from capital in comparison to current regulations.

As of December 31, 2015, the minimum capital ratios under Basel III Capital Rules were: 4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets, 6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, 8.0% Total capital (Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) to risk-weighted assets and 4.0% leverage ratio.

In addition, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above each level applicable to the CET1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratios will be required for banking institutions like the Company and the Bank to avoid restrictions on their ability to make capital distributions, including dividends, and pay certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The following are the Basel III regulatory capital levels that the Company and the Bank must satisfy to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividends, and discretionary bonus payments during the applicable transition period from January 1, 2015, until January 1, 2019:

Total capital to risk-weighted assets8.00% 8.625% 9.25% 9.875% 10.50%

The Basel III Capital Rules provide for multiple new deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These include, for example, the requirement that deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one category exceeds 10% of total CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1. Implementation of these adjustments began on January 1, 2015, and will be phased in over the following four years.

The Basel III Capital Rules also revise the prompt corrective action framework by (i) introducing a CET1 ratio requirement at each capital level, with a required CET1 ratio to remain well-capitalized at 6.5%, (ii) increasing the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement for each category, with the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio for well-capitalized status being increased to 8% and (iii) transitioning to a leverage ratio of 4% in order to qualify as adequately capitalized and a leverage ratio of 5% to be well-capitalized.

The Company believes that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company and the Bank would meet all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were then effective.

Regulation of Banks Generally
 
Business Activities. The Bank derives its lending and investment powers from the IFIA, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) and related regulations.
 
Loans-to-One Borrower Limitations. Generally, the Bank’s total loans or extensions of credit to a single borrower, including the borrower’s related entities, outstanding at one time, and not fully secured, cannot exceed 15% of the Bank’s unimpaired capital and surplus. If the loans or extensions of credit are fully secured by readily marketable collateral, the Bank may lend up to an additional 10% of its unimpaired capital and surplus.
 
Capital Requirements—Generally. Through December 31, 2014, FDIC regulations required insured non-member banks generally to maintain the following minimum capital standards:
a ratio of “core capital” to adjusted total assets (“leverage ratio”) of not less than 4%;

“Core capital” (also called “Tier 1 Capital”) for this purpose is defined to include common shareholders’ equity (excluding unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, less all intangibles assets other than mortgage and non-mortgage servicing assets and purchased credit card relationships, noneligible credit-enhancing interest-only strips and certain deferred tax assets.

a ratio of “core capital” to risk-weighted assets (“Tier 1 Capital Ratio”) of not less than 4%; and

a ratio of “total capital” (core and supplementary) to total risk-weighted assets (“Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio”) of not less than 8%, provided that the amount of supplementary capital used to satisfy this requirement may not exceed the amount of core capital.

“Supplementary capital” (also called “Tier 2 Capital”) for this purpose is defined to include the allowance for loan losses up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, cumulative perpetual and certain other preferred stock, mandatory convertible debt securities and subordinated debt up to a maximum of 50% of Tier 1 Capital. In addition, up to 45% of the unrealized gains on available for sale equity securities with a readily determinable fair value may be included in supplementary capital.
In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of the risk-based capital requirements, the Bank’s balance sheet assets and the credit conversion values of certain off-balance sheet items are multiplied by specified risk-weights, generally ranging from 0% for cash and obligations issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies to 100% for consumer and commercial loans, as specified by the FDIC regulations based on the degree of risk deemed to be inherent in the particular type of asset.
The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement its capital adequacy requirements through the system of prompt corrective action established by Section 38 of the FDIA. Under the prompt corrective action regulations, at December 31, 2014, a bank is “well capitalized” if it has: (1) a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 10.0% or greater; (2) a Tier 1 (Core) risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater; (3) a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (4) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. A bank is “adequately capitalized” if it has: (1) a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 8.0% or greater; (2) a Tier 1 (Core) risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater; and (3) a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater (3.0% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of “well capitalized”.
Regulators also must take into consideration: (1) concentrations of credit risk, (2) interest rate risk and (3) risks from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage those risks, when determining the adequacy of an institution’s capital. This evaluation will be made as a part of the institution’s regular safety and soundness examination.
Generally, a bank, upon receiving notice that it is not adequately capitalized (i.e., that it is “undercapitalized”), becomes subject to the prompt corrective action provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA that, for example, (1) restrict payment of capital distributions and management fees, (2) require that the FDIC monitor the condition of the bank and its efforts to restore its capital, (3) require submission of a capital restoration plan, (4) restrict the growth of the bank’s assets and (5) require prior regulatory approval of certain expansion proposals. A bank that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must concurrently submit a

15



performance guarantee by each company that controls the bank. A bank that is “critically undercapitalized” (i.e., has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%) will be subject to further restrictions, and generally will be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days.
We are also subject to capital adequacy regulations of the Federal Reserve. These capital requirements are substantially similar to those applicable to the Bank. For bank holding companies, through December 31, 2014, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 4% and the minimum Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 8%. In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the Federal Reserve requires top rated bank holding companies to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of Tier 1 capital (defined by reference to the risk-based capital guidelines) to its average total consolidated assets of at least 3.0%. For most other bank holding companies, the minimum leverage ratio is 4.0%. Bank holding companies with supervisory, financial, operational or managerial weaknesses, as well as bank holding companies that are anticipating or experiencing significant growth, are expected to maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve published final rules (the “Basel III Capital Rules”) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. bank holding companies. The FDIC adopted substantially identical standards for institutions, like the Bank, subject to its jurisdiction in an interim final rule. The Basel III Capital Rules implement requirements consistent with agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. These rules substantially revise the risk-based capital requirements applicable to depository institutions and their holding companies, including the Company and the Bank. The Basel III Capital Rules are effective for all banks as of January 1, 2015 (subject to certain phase-in periods for some requirements).

Among other things, the Basel III Capital Rules (i) introduce a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) apply most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures to CET1 and not to the other components of capital, thus potentially requiring higher levels of CET1 in order to meet minimum ratios, and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions/adjustments from capital in comparison to current regulations.

As of January 1, 2015, the minimum capital ratios are: 4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets, 6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, 8.0% Total capital (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets and 4.0% leverage ratio.

In addition, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above each of these levels will be required for banking institutions like the Company and the Bank to avoid restrictions on their ability to make capital distributions, including dividends, and pay certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer will be phased in over a three year period, beginning at 0.625% in 2016 and increasing by that amount each subsequent year on January 1.

The Basel III Capital Rules provide for multiple new deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These include, for example, the requirement that deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income and significant investments in non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one category exceeds 10% of total CET1 or all such categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1. Implementation of these adjustments will begin on January 1, 2015, and will be phased in over the following three years.

The Basel III Capital Rules also revise the prompt corrective action framework by (i) introducing a CET1 ratio requirement at each capital level, with a required CET1 ratio to remain well-capitalized at 6.5%, (ii) increasing the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement for each category, with the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio for well-capitalized status being increased to 8% and (iii) transitioning to a leverage ratio of 4% in order to qualify as adequately capitalized and a leverage ratio of 5% to be well-capitalized.

The Company believes that, as of December 31, 2014, the Company and the Bank would meet all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were then effective.

Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”), as implemented by FDIC regulations, the Bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with safe and sound banking practices, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the FDIC, in connection with its examinations of the Bank, to assess the Bank’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community and to take that record into account in evaluating certain applications for regulatory approvals that we may file with the FDIC. 

Due to its Internet-driven model and nationwide consumer banking platform, the Bank has opted to operate under a CRA Strategic Plan, which was submitted to and approved by the FDIC and sets forth certain guidelines the Bank must meet in order to achieve a “Satisfactory” or “Outstanding” rating.meet. The current Strategic Plan expired December 31, 2014 and the Bank has submitted a new plan for approval that will be in effect throughexpires December 31, 2017. The Bank received a “Satisfactory” CRA rating in its most recent CRA examination. Failure of an institution to receive at least a “Satisfactory” rating could inhibit such institution or its holding company from engaging in certain activities or pursuing acquisitions of other financial institutions.
 
Transactions with Affiliates. The authority of the Bank, like other FDIC-insured banks, to engage in transactions with its “affiliates” is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve’s Regulation W. An “affiliate” for this purpose is defined generally as any company that owns or controls the Bank or is under common ownership or control with the Bank, but excludes a company controlled by a bank. In general, transactions between the Bank and its affiliates must be on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices and at least as favorable to the Bank as comparable transactions between the Bank and non-affiliates. In addition, covered transactions with affiliates are restricted individually to 10% and in the aggregate to 20% of the Bank’s capital. Collateral ranging from 100% to 130% of the loan amount depending on the quality of the collateral must be provided for an affiliate to secure a loan or other extension of credit from the Bank. The Company is an “affiliate” of the Bank for purposes of Regulation W and Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. TheWe believe the Bank is in compliance with these provisions.
 
Loans to Insiders. The Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and principal stockholders,shareholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons (“Related Interests”), is governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve. Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to insiders: (1) be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and (2) not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of the Bank’s capital. In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved in advance by the Bank’s Board of Directors. Further, provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require that after July 21, 2011, any sale or purchase of an asset by the Bank with an insider must be on market terms and if the transaction represents more than 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus it must be approved in advance by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Bank. TheWe believe the Bank is in compliance with these provisions.
 
Enforcement. The DFI and the FDIC share primary regulatory enforcement responsibility over the Bank and its institution-affiliated parties (“IAPs”), including directors, officers and employees. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to appoint a conservator or receiver for the Bank, to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist orders, to seek judicial enforcement of administrative orders and to remove directors and officers from office and bar them from further participation in banking. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations of laws, regulations and administrative orders, as well as in response to unsafe or unsound banking practices or conditions.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. Pursuant to the FDIA, the federal banking agencies have adopted a set of guidelines prescribing safety and soundness standards. These guidelines establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth,

17



asset quality, earnings standards, compensation, fees and benefits. In general, the guidelines require appropriate systems and practices to identify and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines. We believe we are in compliance with the safety and soundness guidelines.
 
Dividends. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is limited by state and federal laws and regulations that require the Bank to obtain the prior approval of the DFI before paying a dividend that, together with other dividends it has paid during a calendar year, would exceed the sum of its net income for the year to date combined with its retained net income for the previous two years. The amount of dividends the Bank may pay may also be limited by the principles of prudent bank management.
 
Capital Distributions. The FDIC may disapprove of a notice or application to make a capital distribution if:
 
the Bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution;

the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or

the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement applicable to the Bank.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Bank is a member of the DIF, which is administered by the FDIC. All deposit accounts at the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor.
 
The FDIA, as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, requires the FDIC to set a ratio of deposit insurance reserves to estimated insured deposits—the designated reserve ratio (the “DRR”)—of at least 1.35%. The FDIC utilizes a risk-based assessment system that imposes insurance premiums based upon a risk matrix that takes into account a bank’s capital level and supervisory rating. On February 27, 2009, the FDIC introduced three possible adjustments to an institution’s initial base assessment rate: (1) a decrease of up to five basis points for long-term unsecured debt, including senior unsecured debt (other than debt guaranteed under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program) and subordinated debt and, for small institutions, a portion of Tier 1 capital; (2) an increase not to exceed 50 percent of an institution’s assessment rate before the increase for secured liabilities in excess of 25 percent of domestic deposits; and (3) for non-Risk Category I institutions, an increase not to exceed 10 basis points for brokered deposits in excess of 10 percent of domestic deposits.
On November 9, 2010, the FDIC proposed to change its assessment base from total domestic deposits to average total assets minus average tangible equity which is defined as Tier 1 capital, as required in the Dodd-Frank Act. The new assessment formula became effective on April 1, 2011, and was used to calculate the June 30, 2011 assessment. The FDIC plans to raise the same expected revenue under the new base as under the current assessment base. Since the new base is larger than the current base, the proposal would lower the assessment rate schedule to maintain revenue neutrality. Assessment rates would be reduced to a range of 2.5 to 9 basis points on the broader assessment base for banks in the lowest risk category (well capitalized and CAMELS I or II) and up to 30 to 45 basis points for banks in the highest risk category.
 
FDIC insurance expense, including assessments relating to Financing Corporation (FICO) bonds, totaled $0.6 million for 2014.2015.
 
Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and 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.
 
Liquidity. The Bank is required to maintain a sufficient amount of liquid assets to ensure its safe and sound operation. To fund its operations, the Bank historically has relied upon core deposits, fed funds lines with correspondent banks, Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLB”) borrowings, fed funds lines with correspondent banks and brokered deposits. The Bank does not currently solicit brokered deposits. The Bank believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its funding obligations.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB, which is one of the regional Federal Home Loan Banks comprising the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a central credit facility primarily for its member institutions. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB, is required to acquire and hold shares of FHLB capital stock. While the required percentage of stock ownership is subject to change by the FHLB, the Bank is in compliance with this requirement with an investment in FHLB stock at December 31, 20142015 of $5.4$8.6 million. Any advances from the FHLB must be secured by specified types of collateral, and long-termlong term advances may be used for the purpose of providing funds to make residential mortgage or commercial loans and to purchase investments. Long term advances may also be used to help alleviate interest rate risk for asset and liability management purposes. The Bank receives dividends on its FHLB stock.

18



 
Federal Reserve System. Although the Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, it is subject to provisions of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve’s regulations under which depository institutions may be required to maintain reserves against their deposit accounts and certain other liabilities. In 2008, the Federal Reserve Banks began paying interest on reserve balances. Currently, reserves must be maintained against transaction accounts (primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). As of December 31, 2014,2015, the Federal Reserve’s regulations required reserves equal to 3% on transaction account balances over $13.3$14.5 million and up to $89.0$103.6 million, plus 10% on the excess over $89.0$103.6 million. These requirements are subject to adjustment annually by the Federal Reserve. The Bank is in compliance with the foregoing reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements imposed by the FDIC.
 
Anti-Money Laundering and the Bank Secrecy Act. Under the Bank Secrecy Act (the “BSA”), a financial institution is required to have systems in place to detect and report transactions of a certain size and nature. Financial institutions are generally required to report to the U.S. Treasury any cash transactions involving more than $10,000. In addition, financial institutions are required to file suspicious activity reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and which the financial institution knows, suspects or has reason to suspect involves illegal funds, is designed to evade the requirements of the BSA or has no lawful purpose. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), which amended the BSA, is designed to deny terrorists and others the ability to obtain anonymous access to the U.S. financial system. The USA PATRIOT Act has significant implications for financial institutions and businesses of other types involved in the transfer of money. The USA PATRIOT Act, togetherin conjunction with the implementing regulationsimplementation of various federal regulatory agencies,agency regulations, has caused financial institutions, such as the Bank, to adopt and implement additional policies or amend existing policies and procedures with respect to, among other things, anti-money laundering compliance, suspicious activity, currency transaction reporting, customer identity verification and customer risk analysis.
 
The United States has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others. These sanctions, which are administered by the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), take many different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (1) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on “U.S. persons” engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (2) blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (for example, property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC.
 
Consumer Protection Laws. The Bank is subject to a number of federal and state laws designed to protect consumers and prohibit unfair or deceptive business practices. These laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Housing Act, Home Ownership Protection Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (the “FACT Act”), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLBA”), the Truth in Lending Act, the CRA, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the National Flood Insurance Act and various state law counterparts. These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must interact with customers when taking deposits, making loans, collecting loans and providing other services. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB, which has the responsibility for making and amending rules and regulations under the federal consumer protection laws relating to financial products and services. The CFPB also has a broad mandate to prohibit unfair or deceptive acts and practices and is specifically empowered to require certain disclosures to consumers and draft model disclosure forms. Failure to comply with consumer protection laws and regulations can subject financial institutions to enforcement actions, fines and other penalties. The FDIC will enforce applicable CFPB rules with respect to the Bank.

Mortgage Reform. The Dodd-Frank Act prescribes certain standards that mortgage lenders must consider before making a residential mortgage loan, including verifying a borrower’s ability to repay such mortgage loan. The Dodd-Frank Act also allows borrowers to assert violations of certain provisions of the Truth-in-Lending Act as a defense to foreclosure proceedings. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, prepayment penalties are prohibited for certain mortgage transactions and creditors are prohibited from financing insurance policies in connection with a residential mortgage loan or home equity line of credit. The Dodd-Frank Act requires mortgage lenders to make additional disclosures prior to the extension of credit, in each billing statement and for negative amortization loans and hybrid adjustable rate mortgages. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act prohibits mortgage originators from receiving compensation based on the terms of residential mortgage loans and generally limits the ability of a mortgage originator to be compensated by others if compensation is received from a consumer.
 
Customer Information Security. The federal banking agencies have adopted final guidelines for establishing standards for safeguarding nonpublic personal information about customers. These guidelines implement provisions of the GLBA.

19



Specifically, the Information Security Guidelines established by the GLBA require each financial institution, under the supervision and ongoing oversight of its board of directors or an appropriate committee thereof, to develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information (as defined under the GLBA), to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information and to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for banks on response programs for unauthorized access to customer information. This guidance, among other things, requires notice to be sent to customers whose “sensitive information” has been compromised if unauthorized use of this information is “reasonably possible.”
 
Identity Theft Red Flags. The federal banking agencies jointly issued final rules and guidelines in 2007 implementing Section 114 of the FACT Act and final rules implementing Section 315 of the FACT Act. The rules implementing Section 114 require each financial institution or creditor to develop and implement a written Identity Theft Prevention Program to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft in connection with the opening of certain accounts or certain existing accounts. In addition, the federal banking agencies issued guidelines to assist financial institutions and creditors in the formulation and maintenance of an Identity Theft Prevention Program that satisfies the requirements of the rules. The rules implementing Section 114 also require credit and debit card issuers to assess the validity of notifications of changes of address under certain circumstances. Additionally, the federal banking agencies issued joint rules, that became effective in 2008, under Section 315 that provide guidance regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when a consumer reporting agency sends the user a notice of address discrepancy.
 
Privacy. The GLBA requires financial institutions to implement policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. In general, the statute requires financial institutions to explain to consumers their policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of such nonpublic personal information and, except as otherwise required or permitted by law, financial institutions are prohibited from disclosing such information except as provided in their policies and procedures. The Bank is required to provide notice to its customers on an annual basis disclosing their policies and procedures on the sharing of nonpublic personal information. In December 2009, the federal banking agencies promulgated regulations that incorporate a two-page model form that financial institutions may use to satisfy their privacy disclosure obligations under the GLBA. These regulations became effective in January 2011.

Cybersecurity. In March of 2015, federal regulators issued two related statements regarding cybersecurity. One statement indicates that financial institutions should design multiple layers of security controls to establish lines of defense and ensure that their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials, including security measures to reliably authenticate customers accessing internet-based services of the financial institution. The other statement indicates that a financial institution’s management is expected to maintain sufficient business continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid recovery, resumption, and maintenance of the institution’s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial institution is also expected to develop appropriate processes to enable recovery of data and business operations and address rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-attack. If the Company fails to observe the regulatory guidance, it could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties.

In support of its Internet banking platform, the Company relies heavily on electronic communications and information systems to conduct its operations and store sensitive data. The Company employs an in-depth approach that leverages people, processes, and technology to manage and maintain cybersecurity controls. In addition, the Company employs a variety of preventative and detective tools to monitor, block, and provide alerts regarding suspicious activity, as well as to report on any suspected advanced persistent threats. Notwithstanding the strength of the Company’s defensive measures, the threat from cyber-attacks is severe, attacks are sophisticated and increasing in volume, and attackers respond rapidly to changes in defensive measures. Although to date the Company has not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, its systems and those of its customers and third-party service providers are under constant threat and it is possible that the Company could experience a significant event in the future. Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats, as well as due to the expanding use of Internet and mobile banking and other technology-based products and services, by the Company and its customers.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors    
 
Risk factors which could cause actual results to differ from our expectations and which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations are discussed below and elsewhere in this report. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that are currently not believed to be significant to our business may also affect our actual results and could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the risks or uncertainties described below or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

11



RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
A failure of, or interruption in, the communications and information systems on which we rely to conduct our business could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
We rely heavily upon communications and information systems to conduct our business. Although we have built a level of redundancy into our information technology infrastructure and update our business continuity plan annually, any failure or interruption of our information systems, or the third-party information systems on which we rely, as a result of inadequate or failed processes or systems, human errors or external events, could adversely affect our Internet-based operations and slow the processing of applications, loan servicing, and deposit-related transactions. In addition, our communication and information systems may present security risks and could be susceptible to hacking or other unauthorized access. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our commercial loan portfolio exposes us to higher credit risks than residential real estate and consumer loans, including risks relating to the success of the underlying business and conditions in the market or the economy and concentrations in our commercial loan portfolio.
We are growing our CRE and C&I and CRE loan portfolios. At December 31, 2015, C&I loans amounted to $102.0 million, or 10.7% of total loans receivable, and CRE loans amounted to $480.9 million, or 50.4% of total loans receivable. These loans generally involve higher credit risks than residential real estate and consumer loans and are dependent upon our lenders maintaining close relationships with the borrowers. Payments on these loans are often dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying business or assets, and repayment of such loans may be influenced to a great extent by conditions in the market or the economy. Commercial loans are generallytypically involve larger loan balances than residential real estate or consumer loans and could lead to concentration risks within our commercial loan portfolio. In addition, our C&I loans have primarily been extended to small to medium sized businesses that generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities.Our failure to manage this growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, with respect to commercial real estate loans, federal and state banking regulators are examining commercial real estate lending activity with heightened scrutiny and may require banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans to implement more stringent underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for losses and capital levels as a result of commercial real estate lending growth and exposures. Because a significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial real estate loans, the banking regulators may require us to maintain higher levels of capital than we would otherwise be expected to maintain, which could limit our ability to leverage our capital and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Weakness in the economy may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the economy generally, which continue to be uncertain and include sluggish economic growth, accompanied by historically low interest rates. Dramatic declines in the housing market following the 2008 financial crisis, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. While conditions have improved, a return to a recessionary economy could result in financial stress on our borrowers that would adversely affect consumer confidence, a reduction in general business activity and increased market volatility. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and businesses and the lack of confidence in the financial markets could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. Our ability to properly assess the creditworthiness of our customers and to estimate the losses inherent in our credit exposure would be made more complex by these difficult market and economic conditions. Accordingly, if market conditions worsen, we may experience increases in foreclosures, delinquencies, write-offs and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds.
The market value of some of our investments could decline and adversely affect our financial position.
As of December 31, 2014,2015, we had a net unrealized holding loss of $0.2approximately $1.9 million on the available for sale portion of our $137.5$213.7 million investment securities portfolio. In assessing the impairment of investment securities, we consider the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and whether we have the intent to sell the security or will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. We also use economic models to assist in the valuation of some of our investment securities. If our investment securities experience a decline in value, we would need to determine whether the decline represented an other-than-temporary impairment, (“OTTI”), in which case we would be required to record a write-down of the investment and a corresponding charge to our earnings.

2112



Because our business is highly dependent on technology that is subject to rapid change and transformation, we are subject to risks of obsolescence.
The Bank conducts its consumer lending and deposit gathering activities through the Internet. The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological change, and we face constant evolution of customer demand for technology-driven financial and banking products and services. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvement and product development, marketing and implementation. Any failure to successfully keep pace with and fund technological innovation in the markets in which we compete could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may need additional capital resources in the future and these capital resources may not be available when needed or at all, without which our financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially impaired.
If we continue to experience significant growth, we may need to raise additional capital. Our ability to raise capital, if needed, will depend upon our financial performance and on conditions in the capital markets, as well as economic conditions generally. Accordingly, such financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, it would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The competitive nature of the banking and financial services industry could negatively affect our ability to increase our market share and retain long‑term profitability.
Competition in the banking and financial services industry is strong. 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 nationwide. Some of our competitors have greater name recognition and market presence than we do and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. In addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do, which could affect our ability to increase our market share and remain profitable on a long term basis. Our success will depend on the ability of the Bank to compete successfully on a long term basis within the financial services industry.
We rely on our management team and could be adversely affected by the unexpected loss of key officers.
Our future success and profitability is substantially dependent upon our management and the abilities of our senior executives. We believe that our future results will also depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified management. Competition for senior personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Changes in key personnel and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our businessesbusiness and could have a material adverse effect on our businesses,business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the loss of our chief executive officer could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability and affect the value of our assets.
Like other financial institutions, we are subject to interest rate risk. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience imbalances in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities and the relationships of various interest rates to each other. Over any defined period of time, our interest-earning assets may be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-bearing liabilities, or vice-versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying our loan and deposit products may not change to the same degree over a given time period. In any event, if market interest rates should move contrary to our position, earnings may be negatively affected. In addition, loan volume and quality and deposit volume and mix can be affected by market interest rates as can the businesses of our clients. Changes in levels of market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our net interest spread, asset quality, loan origination volume, deposit gathering efforts and overall profitability.
Market interest rates are beyond our control, and they fluctuate in response to economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”).Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, may negatively affect our ability to originate loans and leases, the value of our assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of our assets, all of which ultimately could affect our earnings.

2213



An inadequate allowance for loan losses would reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the quality of our assets, particularly the credit quality of our loans. In originating loans, there is a substantial likelihood that credit losses will be experienced. We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, that represents management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The risk of loss will vary with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthinesslevel of the borrower overallowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of industry concentrations; specific credit risks; loan loss experience; current loan portfolio quality; present economic, political and regulatory conditions; and unidentified losses inherent in the termcurrent loan portfolio. The determination of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the qualityappropriate level of the collateral. Although weallowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and requires us to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on our regulators regularly reviewfinancial statements. The allowance our management has established for loan portfolio and evaluate the adequacy of our allowance, and believe that the allowance islosses may not be adequate to absorb any inherent losses in our portfolio, there can be no assurance that we will not experience lossesloan portfolio. Continuing deterioration of economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside our control, may require an increase in excess of the allowance for loan losses.
Bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and be requiredmay require us to increase our provision for loan losses.losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. To the extent required charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, we may need additional provisions to increase the allowance. Any increases in the allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Consumer loans in our portfolio generally have greater risk of loss or default than residential real estate loans and may make it necessary to increase our provision for loan losses.
At December 31, 2014,2015, our consumer loans, excluding residential mortgage loans and home equity loans, totaled $97.1$108.3 million, representing approximately 13.3%11.4% of our total loan portfolio at such date. The overwhelming majority of our consumer loans are horse trailer and recreational vehicle loans acquired through our indirect dealer networks.network. Consumer loans generally have a greater risk of loss or default than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of loans that are secured by rapidly depreciating assets such as horse trailer and recreational vehicles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. It may become necessary to increase our provision for loan losses in the event that our losses on these loans increase.increase, which would reduce our earnings and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Portions of our commercial lending activities are geographically concentrated in the Midwest and Central Indiana, and changes in local economic conditions may impact their performance.
We offer our retail products and services throughout the United States through our web-based operations. However, both CRE and C&I relationships are highly dependent on strong lender/borrower relationships. We serve CRE borrowers primarily in Indiana and the surrounding Midwest states, and our more recent expansion into C&I lending has historically focused primarily on Central Indiana. Accordingly, the performance of our CRE and C&I lending depends upon demographic and economic conditions in those regions. The profitability of our CRE and C&I loan portfolio may be impacted by changes in those conditions. Additionally, unfavorable local or national economic conditions could reduce or limit the growth rate of our CRE and C&I loan portfolios for a significant period of time, or otherwise decrease the ability of those borrowers to repay their loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because of our holding company structure, we depend on capital distributions from the Bank to fund our operations.
We are a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank and have no business activities other than our ownership of the Bank. As a result, we primarily depend on dividends, distributions and other payments from the Bank to fund our obligations. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us is limited by state and federal law and depends generally on the Bank’s ability to generate net income. If we are unable to comply with applicable provisions of these statutes and regulations, the Bank may not be able to pay dividends to us, and we would not be able to pay dividends on our outstanding common stock.stock and our ability to service our debt would be materially impaired.

14



Lack of seasoning of our commercial loan portfolios may increase the risk of credit defaults in the future.
Due to our increasing emphasis on CRE and C&I lending, a substantial amount of the loans in our commercial loan portfolios and our lending relationships are of relatively recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for some period of time, a process referred to as “seasoning.” A portfolio of older loans will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio. As a result, because a large portion of our commercial loan portfolio is relatively new, the current level of delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that will prevail when the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If delinquencies and defaults increase, we may be required to increase our provision for loan losses.losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A sustained decline in the mortgage loan markets or the related real estate markets could reduce loan origination activity or increase delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures, which could adversely affect our financial results.
Historically, our mortgage loan business has provided a significant portion of our revenue and our ability to maintain or grow that revenue is dependent upon our ability to originate loans and sell them on the secondary market. DuringFor the yeartwelve months ended December 31, 2014, income from mortgage banking activities was $5.6 million, compared to $8.7and it was $9.0 million for the yeartwelve months ended December 31, 2013.2015. Mortgage loan originations are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including decreased economic activity, a slowdown in the housing market, and higher market interest rates, and has historically been cyclical, enjoying periods of strong growth and profitability followed by periods of lower volumes and market-wide losses. During periods of rising interest rates, refinancing originations for many mortgage products tend to decrease as the economic incentives for borrowers to refinance their existing mortgage loans are reduced. In addition, the mortgage loan origination business is affected by changes in real property values. A reduction in real property values could also negatively affect our ability to originate mortgage loans because the value of the real properties underlying the loans is a primary source of repayment in the event of foreclosure. The national market for residential mortgage loan refinancing has recently declined in recent years and a continuation of that trend mayfuture declines could adversely impact our business. Any sustained period of increased delinquencies, foreclosures or losses could harm our ability to originate and sell mortgage loans,

23



and the price received on the sale of such loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Reputational risk and social factors may negatively affect us.
 
Our ability to attract and retain depositors and customers is highly dependent upon consumer and other external perceptions of our business practices and financial condition. Adverse perceptions could damage our reputation to a level that could lead to difficulties in generating and maintaining deposit accounts and accessing credit markets as well as increased regulatory scrutiny of our business. Borrower payment behaviors also affect us. To the extent that borrowers determine to stop paying their loans where the financed properties’ market values are less than the amount of their loans, or for other reasons, our costs and losses may increase. Adverse developments or perceptions regarding the business practices or financial condition of our competitors, or our industry as a whole, may also indirectly adversely affect our reputation.
 
In addition, adverse reputational developments with respect to third parties with whom we have important relationships may adversely affect our reputation. All of the above factors may result in greater regulatory and/or legislative scrutiny, which may lead to laws or regulations that may change or constrain the manner in which we engage with our customers and the products we offer and may also increase our litigation risk. If these risks were to materialize, they could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks,cyber-attacks, could disrupt our business, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses.
We depend upon our ability to process, record and monitor our client transactions on a continuous basis. As client, public and regulatory expectations regarding operational and information security have increased, our operational systems and infrastructure must continue to be safeguarded and monitored for potential failures, disruptions and breakdowns. Our business, financial, accounting and data processing systems, or other operating systems and facilities, may stop operating properly or become disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors, including events that are wholly or partially beyond our control. For example, there could be electrical or telecommunications outages; natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes; disease pandemics; events arising from local or larger scale political or social matters, including terrorist acts; and, as described below, cyber-attacks. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, our business operations may be adversely affected by significant and widespread disruption to our physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our business and clients. 

15



Information security risks for financial institutions such as ours have generally increased in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists and other external parties. As noted above, our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential information in our computer systems and networks. Our business relies on our digital technologies, computer and email systems, software and networks to conduct its operations. In addition, to access our products and services, our clients may use personal smartphones, tablets, personal computers and other mobile devices that are beyond our control systems. Although we have information security procedures and controls in place, our technologies, systems, networks and our clients’ devices may become the target of cyber-attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of our or our clients’ confidential, proprietary and other information, or otherwise disrupt our or our clients’ or other third parties’ business operations. 
Third parties with whom we do business or that facilitate our business activities, including financial intermediaries or vendors that provide services or security solutions for our operations, could also be sources of operational and information security risk to us, including from breakdowns or failures of their own systems or capacity constraints.
Although to date we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer such losses in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters remains heightened because of the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cyber securitycybersecurity and the continued development and enhancement of our controls, processes and practices designed to protect our systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a focus for us. As threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate information security vulnerabilities. 

24



Disruptions or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our business and clients, or cyber-attacks or security breaches of the networks, systems or devices that our clients use to access our products and services could result in client attrition, regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, claims or litigation, reimbursement or other compensation costs and/or additional compliance costs, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition orand results of operations.
RISKS RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF OUR INDUSTRY
We operate in a highly regulated environment, which could restrain our growth and profitability.
We are subject to extensive laws and regulations that govern almost all aspects of our operations. These laws and regulations, and the supervisory framework that oversees the administration of these laws and regulations, are primarily intended to protect depositors, the Deposit Insurance Fund and the banking system as a whole, and not shareholders. These laws and regulations, among other matters, affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, operations and growth. Compliance with the myriad laws and regulations applicable to our organization can be difficult and costly. In addition, these laws, regulations and policies are subject to continual review by governmental authorities, and changes to these laws, regulations and policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of these laws, regulations and policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways and often impose additional compliance costs. Further, any new laws, rules and regulations such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and regulatory capital rules, could make compliance more difficult or expensive. All of these laws and regulations, and the supervisory framework applicable to our industry, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Federal and state regulators periodically examine our business and we may be required to remediate adverse examination findings.
The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the DFIIndiana Department of Financial Institutions periodically examine our business, including our compliance with laws and regulations. If, as a result of an examination, a federal or state banking agency were to determine that our financial condition, capital resource,resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of any of our operations had become unsatisfactory, or that we were in violation of any law or regulation, it may take a number of different remedial actions as it deems appropriate. These actions include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in our capital, to restrict our growth, to assess civil monetary penalties against our officers or directors, to remove officers and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to terminate our deposit insurance and place us into receivership or conservatorship. Any regulatory action against us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

16



Our FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments may increase which would reduce our profitability.
The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and, accordingly, subject to the payment of FDIC deposit insurance assessments. The Bank’s regular assessments are determined by its risk classification, which is based on its regulatory capital levels and the level of supervisory concern that it poses. High levels of bank failures since the beginning ofduring and following the financial crisis and increases in the statutory deposit insurance limits have increased resolution costs to the FDIC and put significant pressure on the Deposit Insurance Fund. In order to maintain a strong funding position and restore the reserve ratios of the Deposit Insurance Fund, the FDIC increased deposit insurance assessment rates and charged a special assessment to all FDIC-insured financial institutions. Further increases in assessment rates or special assessments may occur in the future, especially if there are significant additional financial institution failures. Any future special assessments, increases in assessment rates or required prepayments in FDIC insurance premiums could reduce our profitability or limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities.opportunities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The short term and long term impact of recently adopted regulatory capital rules is uncertain and a significant increase in our capital requirements could have an adverse effect on our business and profitability.
In July 2013, the federal banking agenciesFDIC and the Federal Reserve approved rulesa new rule that will significantly changesubstantially amends the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to the Bank and the Company. The final rule implements the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The final rule includes new minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which became effective for the Bank and the Company on January 1, 2015, and refines the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating these ratios. The new minimum capital requirements are: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of all banking institutions4.5%; (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 United States.following minimum ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 8.5%; and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new rules are designed to implement the recommendations with respect to regulatory capital standards, commonly known as Basel III, approved by the International Basel Committee on Bank Supervision. Weconservation buffer requirement will becomebe phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will 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 new rules over a multi-year transition period commencing January 1, 2015. The new rulesbuffer amount. These limitations will establish a new regulatorymaximum percentage of eligible retained income that can be used for such actions.

The rules also change how a number of the regulatory capital components are calculated. The new rules will generally require usBank and the BankCompany 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 to maintain greater amountsbe unable to comply with such requirements, any of regulatory capital. A significant increase in our capital requirementswhich could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.profitability.

We are subject to numerous laws designed to protect consumers, including the Community Reinvestment Act and fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to a wide variety of sanctions.
The Community Reinvestment Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act and other fair lending laws and regulations impose nondiscriminatory lending requirements on financial institutions. The Department of Justice and other federal agencies are responsible for enforcing these laws and regulations. A successful regulatory challenge to an institution’s performance under the Community Reinvestment Act or fair lending laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of sanctions, including damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief, restrictions on mergers and acquisitions activity, restrictions on expansion and restrictions on entering new business lines. Private parties may also have the ability to challenge an institution’s performance under fair lending laws in private class action litigation. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

17



We are subject to evolving and expensive regulations and requirements. Our failure to adhere to these requirements or the failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously harm our business. 
We are subject to extensive regulation as a financial institution and are also required to follow the corporate governance and financial reporting practices and policies required of a company whose stock is registered under the Exchange Act and listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Compliance with these requirements means we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur before 2013 and are not reflected in our historical financial statements prior to that time. Compliance also requires a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Although we have reviewed, and will continue to review, our disclosure controls and procedures in order to determine whether they are effective, our controls and procedures may not be able to prevent errors or frauds in the future. Faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to adhere to established controls and procedures may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of the control system will be met. A failure of our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of operations.
We face a risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.
The Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and other laws and regulations require financial institutions, among other duties, to institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as appropriate. The federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for violations of those requirements and has recently engaged in coordinated enforcement efforts with the individual federal banking regulators, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service. We are also subject to increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. If our policies, procedures and systems are deemed deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan, including our acquisition plans. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK 
There is a limited trading market for our common stock and you may not be able to resell your shares.
Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 22, 2013 and we issued common stock through a follow-on public offering in late 2013; however, trading remains relatively limited. Although we expect that a more liquid market for our common stock will develop, we cannot guarantee that you would be able to resell shares of our common stock at an attractive price or at all.
The market price of our common stock can be volatile and may decline.
Securities that are not heavily traded can be more volatile than stock trading in an active market. Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly and may decline in response to a variety of factors including:
Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations;
Developments in our business or the financial sector generally;
Recommendations by securities analysts;
Operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
News reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry;
Perceptions in the marketplace regarding us or our competitors;
New technology used or services offered by competitors;
Significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint venture or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;
Failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;
Regulatory changes affecting our industry generally or our business or operations; or
Geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

18



General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.
Federal banking laws limit the acquisition and ownership of our common stock.
Because we are a bank holding company, any purchaser of 5% or morecertain specified amounts of our common stock may be required to file a notice with or obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, or the BHCA.amended. Specifically, under regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve, (1) any other bank holding company may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring 5% or more of our common stock and (2) any person other than a bank holding company may be required to file a notice with and not be disapproved by the Federal Reserve to acquire 10% or more of our common stock and will be required to file a notice with and not be disapproved by the Federal Reserve to acquire 25% or more of our common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions could negatively impact our shareholders.
Provisions of Indiana law and provisions of our Articlesarticles of Incorporationincorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. We are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under the Indiana Business Corporation Law. Additionally, our Articlesarticles of Incorporationincorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock without shareholder approval and such preferred stock could be issued as a defensive measure in response to a takeover proposal.
Although these provisions do not preclude a takeover, they may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or deferring a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in his or her best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price of our common stock. Such provisions will also render the removal of the board of directors and of management more difficult and, therefore, may serve to perpetuate current management. These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us even if an acquisition might be inpotentially adversely affect the best interestmarket price of our shareholders.

Our shares of common stock are not an insured deposit and as such are subject to loss of entire investment.
The shares of our common stock are not a bank deposit and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. YourAn investment in our common stock is subject to investment risk and youan investor must be capable of affording the loss of yourthe entire investment.

26



If we were to issue preferred stock, the rights of holders of our common stock and the value of such common stock could be adversely affected.
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue classes or series of preferred stock, without any action on the part of theour shareholders. The Board of Directors also has the power, without shareholder approval, to set the terms of any such classes or series of preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights and preferences over theour common stock with respect to dividends or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our business and other terms. If we issue preferred stock in the future that has a preference over theour common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of theour common stock, the rights of holders of theour common stock or the value of theour common stock would be adversely affected.
We may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock in the future, which could dilute existing shareholders.
Our articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors, generally without shareholder approval, to, among other things, issue additional shares of common stock up to a total of forty-five million shares or up to five million shares of preferred stock. The issuance of any additional shares of common or preferred stock could be dilutive to a shareholder’s ownership of our common stock. To the extent that currently outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common stock are exercised, or to the extent that we issue additional options or warrants to purchase our common stock in the future and the options or warrants are exercised, our shareholders may experience further dilution. In addition, we may issue preferred stock that is convertible into shares of our common stock, and upon conversion would result in our common shareholders’ ownership interest being diluted. Holders of shares of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, shareholders may not be permitted to invest in future issuances of common or preferred stock. We and the Bank are required by federal and state regulatory authorities, as applicable, to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. Accordingly, regulatory requirements and/or deterioration in our asset quality may require us to sell common stock to raise capital under circumstances and at prices which result in substantial dilution.

19



If we default on our subordinated debt, we will be prohibited from paying dividends or distributions on our common stock.
During 2013, we issued a $3.0 million subordinated debenture to a third party, and during 2015, we issued $10.0 million in subordinated notes to a third party. The purchase agreementagreements under which the subordinated debenture wasand subordinated notes were issued prohibitsprohibit us from paying any dividends on our common stock or making any other distributions to our shareholders at any time when there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the applicable agreement.
Events of default generally consist of, among other things, our failure to pay any principal or interest on the subordinated debenture or subordinated notes, as applicable, when due, our failure to comply with certain agreements, terms and covenants under the agreement (without curing such default following notice), and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation relating to us.
If an event of default were to occur and we did not cure it, we would be prohibited from paying any dividends or making any other distributions to our shareholders or from redeeming or repurchasing any of our common stock, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common stock. Moreover, without notice to or consent from the holders of our common stock, we may enter into additional financing arrangements that may limit our ability to purchase or to pay dividends or distributions on our common stock.
We are subject to evolving and expensive corporate governance regulations and requirements. Our failure to adhere to these requirements or the failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously harm our business.
We are subject to extensive regulation as a financial institution and are also required to follow the corporate governance and financial reporting practices and policies required of a company whose stock is registered under the Exchange Act and listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Compliance with these requirements means we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur in the past and are not reflected in our historical financial statements. Compliance will also require a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, and will require changes in corporate governance practices. Although we have reviewed, and will continue to review, our disclosure controls and procedures in order to determine whether they are effective, our controls and procedures may not be able to prevent errors or frauds in the future. Faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to adhere to established controls and procedures may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of the control system will be met. A failure of our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of operations.

Tangible common equity, tangible assets and tangible book value per common share are financial measures not recognized by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Our management, banking regulators, many financial analysts and other investors use these non-GAAP financial measures to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of preferred equity and/or goodwill or other intangible assets, which typically stem from the use of the purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share or related measures should not be considered as a substitute for total shareholders’ equity, total assets, book value per share or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these measures may differ from those of other companies reporting measures with similar names. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP performance measures and a capital ratio using such measuresRefer to the most directly comparable GAAP measure or ratio.“Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of Item 7 of Part II of this report, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Financial Conditionfive most recent years.

ComparisonDuring the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net income was $8.9 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 toand net income of $4.6 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 20132013.

Total assets were $970.5The increase in net income of $4.6 million atfor the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was primarily due to an $8.5 million increase in net interest income and a $3.0 million increase in noninterest income. This was partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in income tax expense, a $2.6 million increase in noninterest expense and a $1.6 million increase in provision for loan losses.

The decrease in net income of $0.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $802.3 million atthe twelve months ended December 31, 2013 representing an increase of $168.2 million, or 21.0%.

In 2014, the Company continued to experience strong growth in its commercial and residential real estate loan portfolios. Loans receivable increased $231.3 million, or 46.1%, in 2014, compared to December 31, 2013. CRE loans, which include owner occupied CRE loans, increased $131.4 million, or 92.3%, from the prior year end. Single tenant lease financing, a component of CRE, experienced the largest growth in the commercial loan portfolio as balances increased $108.4 million, or 128.8%, from December 31, 2013. There was also solid growth in the C&I loan portfolio during 2014 as balances increased $22.1 million, or 40.0%, from December 31, 2013. Residential real estate loans, which increased $88.0 million, or 46.1%, from December 31, 2013, further contributed to the increase in loan balances. The increase in residential real estate loans was primarily due to the Company deploying excess balance sheet capacity to acquire $104.9a $2.3 million of high quality, adjustable rate residential mortgage assets during the year to complement its organic loan growth.decrease in noninterest income, a $2.2 million increase in noninterest expense and a $0.6 million increase in income tax expense, partially offset by a $4.8 million increase in net interest income.

Total nonperforming loans atDuring the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, return on average assets and return on average shareholders’ equity were 0.81% and 8.89%, respectively, compared to 0.50% and 4.61%, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, declined $1.6 million, or 84.0%and 0.67% and 7.10%, from December 31, 2013, reflectingrespectively, for the resolution of a nonaccrual CRE credit that experienced significant charge-offs in prior periods. The allowance for loan losses was 0.79% of total loans at December 31, 2014, versus 1.09% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans declined to 0.04% at December 31, 2014, compared to 0.37% at December 31, 2013, and the allowance for loan losses to total nonperforming loans increased to 1,959.5% at December 31, 2014, versus 293.0% at December 31, 2013.

Securities available for sale decreased from $181.4 million at December 31, 2013 to $137.5 million at December 31, 2014, a decline of $43.9 million, or 24.2%. The decrease was primarily due to the Company restructuring its securities portfolio in 2014, which included the liquidation of the entire portfolio of odd lot and long duration municipal securities, which had a fair value of $46.3 million at December 31, 2013.

Total deposits increased $85.5 million, or 12.7%, to $758.6 million at December 31, 2014, compared with $673.1 million at December 31, 2013. A significant portion of the growth related to certificates of deposit, which increased $68.5 million, or 23.4%, fromtwelve months ended December 31, 2013.


3325



Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) increased $75.1 million, or 236.2%, from $31.8 million at December 31, 2013 to $106.9 million at December 31, 2014 as management elected to increase the utilization of FHLB advances in 2014 to reduce the Company's overall funding costs.

Tangible common equity increased $5.9 million, or 6.82%, from $86.2 million at December 31, 2013 to $92.1 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was due to net income of $4.3 million, other comprehensive income of $2.2 million, and stock compensation expense of $0.5 million, less dividends declared of $1.1 million.
Results of Operations
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2014 vs. Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013
Net income decreased $0.3 million, or 5.9%, to $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $4.6 million for the 2013 period. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.55, or 36.4%, from $1.51 in 2013 to $0.96 in 2014. The 1.5 million, or 47.8%, year-over-year increase in diluted average common shares outstanding negatively impacted the Company’s earnings per share ratio.

Total interest income increased $5.7 million, or 22.2%, to $31.2 million for the 2014 period, compared to $25.5 million in the prior year period. Interest income from loans accounted for $7.0 million of the increase, which was partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in interest income from tax-exempt municipal securities. The increase in interest income from loans was due to a $195.9 million, or 45.0%, increase in average loan balances, partially offset by a 37 basis point decrease in the yield earned on the loan portfolio. Interest income from tax-exempt municipal securities decreased from the prior year period due primarily to the 2014 restructuring of the investment portfolio.

Total interest expense increased $0.8 million, or 10.4%, from $8.1 million in 2013 to $8.9 million in 2014. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a $141.2 million, or 24.9%, increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances, which was partially offset by a 13 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. Although the Company’s average other borrowings increased $14.0 million, or 44.3%, from the prior year period, the cost of those borrowing decreased 109 basis points, thus having minimal impact on 2014 interest expense in comparison to the prior year.

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $22.3 million, compared to $17.5 million for the prior year, an increase of $4.8 million, or 27.7%. Net interest margin decreased 2 basis points to 2.65% for the 2014 period, compared to 2.67% for the prior year period.
Noninterest income was $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 24.6%. Most of the decrease was attributable to income from mortgage banking activities, which decreased $3.1 million, or 35.4%, from $8.7 million in the prior year period to $5.6 million in 2014. The decrease in mortgage banking income was primarily due to a decrease in the volume of loans sold, which was partially offset by an increase in the gain on sale margin. The volume of mortgage loans sold declined $374.6 million, or 47.8%, from $784.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 to $409.5 million during the 2014 period. The decline in income from mortgage banking activities was partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in gains recorded on the sales of investment securities during 2014.

Noninterest expenses increased$2.2 million, or 10.6%, to $22.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $20.5 million for the prior year period. The most significant increase was in salaries and employee benefits which increased $2.1 million, or 20.5%, from the prior year period, primarily due to increased headcount.

The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.0%, compared to an income tax provision of $1.6 million and an effective tax rate of 25.4% in the prior year period. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate was due primarily to the restructuring of the investment portfolio earlier in 2014 during which the Company liquidated its entire portfolio of odd lot and long duration municipal securities.

Noninterest income as a percentage of average assets decreased from 1.39% for the year ended December 31, 2013 to 0.82% for the 2014 period. The decrease was primarily caused by a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in average assets.

Noninterest expense to average assets decreased from 2.99% for the year ended December 31, 2013 to 2.60% for the 2014 period as asset growth outpaced noninterest expense growth.


34



Return on average assets for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 0.50%, versus 0.67% for the prior year, driven primarily by the 27.4% increase in average assets and, to a lesser extent, the decrease in net income.

Return on average shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 4.61%, compared to 7.10% for the prior year, which reflects the decrease in net income and the additional $29.1 million of new capital issued in late 2013.

Net interest margin was 2.65% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2.67% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by an increase in average interest-earning assets of $187.2 million, or 28.6%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The modest decline in net interest margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was driven primarily by the decline in market interest rates during 2014 as the yield on interest-earnings assets decreased 19 bps and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 17 bps.

2015v.2014

Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $25.3 million, compared to $22.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The increase of $2.6 million, or 11.6%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $0.5 million in consulting and professional services, an increase of $0.3 million in marketing, advertising and promotion, and an increase $0.1 million in deposit insurance premium expenses, slightly offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in premises and equipment expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increased headcount driven by the Company's continued growth, increased equity compensation expense, and increased bonus expense. The increase in bonus expense was primarily attributable to improved profitability in 2015, which resulted in senior management earning annual cash bonuses under the 2015 Senior Management Bonus Plan. In 2014, there were no cash bonuses earned under the 2014 Senior Management Bonus Plan because the threshold criterion for payment was not met. The increase in consulting and professional services was due primarily to an increase in legal and other professional fees consistent with the Company's balance sheet and operational growth as well as increased regulatory compliance matters. The increase in marketing, advertising and promotion was due to higher sponsorships and online channel origination costs related to the increase in mortgage origination activity.

2014v.2013

Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $22.7 million, compared to $20.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The increase of $2.2 million, or 10.6%, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was due to an increase of $2.1 million in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $0.7 million in premises and equipment, and an increase of $0.1 million in deposit insurance premium expenses, partially offset by decreases of $0.4 million in marketing, advertising and promotion, $0.3 million in consulting and professional services, and $0.2 million in loan expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was attributable to increased headcount driven by the Company's continued growth.

Total consumer loans decreased $10.0 million, or 2.7%, as of December 31, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014, due primarily to decreases of $15.2 million, or 25.9%, in home equity and $6.1 million, or 2.7%, in residential mortgages. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $11.2 million, or 11.6%, in other consumer loans.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority
Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory policies with loan approval limits approved by the board of directors of the Bank. Loan officers have underwriting and approval authorization of varying amounts based on their years of experience in the lending field. Additionally, based on the amount of the loan, multiple approvals may be required. Based on the Company’s legal lending limit, the maximum the Bank could lend to any one borrower at December 31, 2015 was $16.9 million.
Our goal is to have a well-diversified and balanced loan portfolio. In order to manage our loan portfolio risk, we establish concentration limits by borrower, product type, industry and geography. To supplement our internal loan review resources, we have engaged an independent third-party loan review group, which is a key component of our overall risk management process related to credit administration.

A loan is designated as impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with delays generally not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be considered to be impaired. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.
Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Nonperforming loans are comprised of total nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due and accruing. Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets, which consist of repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets also included investments that were classified as other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The decrease in total nonperforming assets was due primarily to declines in loans 90 days past due and accruing and in nonaccrual loans. Total nonperforming loans decreased $0.1 million, or 43.6%, to $0.2 million as of December 31, 2015 compared to $0.3 million as of December 31, 2014. Other nonperforming assets increased by less than $0.1 million, or 3.7%, as of December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014. As a result, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans receivable improved to 0.02% as of December 31, 2015 compared to 0.04% as of December 31, 2014, and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets improved to 0.37% as of December 31, 2015 compared to 0.50% as of December 31, 2014.

As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had one commercial property in other real estate owned with a carrying value of $4.5 million. This property consists of two buildings which are residential units adjacent to a university campus. Improvements to the property have been made in collaboration with the university and the property continues to be occupied.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision is one of our critical accounting policies that is subject to significant estimates, as discussed within the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section below. The current level of the allowance for loan losses is a result of management’s assessment of the risks within the portfolio based on the information obtained through the credit evaluation process. The Company utilizes a risk-rating system on non-homogenous commercial loans that includes regular credit reviews to identify and quantify the risk in the commercial portfolio. Management conducts quarterly reviews of the entire loan portfolio and evaluates the need to establish allowances on the basis of these reviews.
Management actively monitors asset quality and, when appropriate, charges off loans against the allowance for loan losses. Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used to determine the size of the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses was $8.4 million as of December 31, 2015, compared to $5.8 million as of December 31, 2014. The increase of $2.6 million, or 44.0%, was due primarily to the continued growth in commercial loan balances. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded net recoveries of $0.6 million, compared to net recoveries of less than $0.1 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the net recoveries were driven primarily by a $0.5 million recovery of an investor commercial real estate loan that had been previously charged-off and a $0.4 million recovery of a residential mortgage loan, of which $0.3 million related to the recapture of principal previously charged-off. The recoveries were partially offset by charge-offs of $0.6 million in residential mortgage and other consumer loans. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the net recoveries were driven primarily by a $0.5 million recovery of an investor commercial real estate loan. The recoveries were mostly offset by charge offs of $0.9 million, primarily related to residential mortgage and other consumer loans.


33



The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans receivable increased to 0.88% as of December 31, 2015, compared to 0.79% as of December 31, 2014, and as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 5,000.6% as of December 31, 2015, compared to 1,959.5% as of December 31, 2014. The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans receivable was primarily driven by a $2.6 million increase in the allowance related to total commercial loans at December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014.  Under the Company’s allowance for loan losses methodology, commercial loans are assigned higher reserve factors than consumer loans.  Since December 31, 2014, commercial loan growth has outpaced consumer loan growth, and as of December 31, 2015, total commercial loans represented 61.1% of total loans receivable compared to 47.9% as of December 31, 2014.  The combination of higher growth and higher reserve factors related to commercial loans resulted in the increased percentage of allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans as of December 31, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was also due to the increase in the allowance for loan losses and the decline in nonperforming loans.

On December 10, 2013, five federal agencies (the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission) published the final Volcker Rule pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. The Volcker Rule restricts certain activities by covered bank holding companies, including private equity investing, proprietary trading, and restrictions on certain types of investments.

On January 14, 2014, the same five federal agencies revised the Volcker Rule’s application to permit banking entities to retain interests in certain CDOs backed primarily by trust preferred securities from the investment prohibitions of section 619 of the Volcker Rule. Under the interim final rule, the agencies permit the retention of an interest in or sponsorship of covered funds by banking entities if certain criteria are met. In addition, the agencies released a non-exclusive list of issuers that meet the criteria of the interim final rule. 

At December 31, 2013, the Company had investments in two different trust preferred CDOs. One of the Company’s CDOs was included in the list of non-exclusive issuers that are not subject to the Volcker Rule. The Company sold both of these CDOs in 2014. Refer to Note 3 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for further information.

The approximate fair value of investment securities available-for-sale increased $76.2 million, or 55.4%, to $213.7 million as of December 31, 2015 compared to $137.5 million as of December 31, 2014. The increase was due primarily to increases of $24.2 million in U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, $21.5 million in municipal securities, $14.4 million in asset-backed securities and $19.1 million in corporate securities, partially offset by a decrease of $4.0 million in mortgage-backed securities. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company deployed funds generated through deposit growth to purchase additional securities to further diversify the securities portfolio and enhance net interest income, while supporting liquidity and interest rate risk management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

While the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its cash and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months, including any cash dividends it may pay, the Company intends to continue pursuing its growth strategy, which may require additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure such capital at favorable terms, its ability to execute its growth strategy could be adversely affected.

Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations. Liquidity, represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. While scheduled payments and maturities of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Therefore, the Company supplements deposit growth and enhances interest rate risk management through borrowings, which are generally advances from the FHLB.

The Company maintains cash and investment securities that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations and meet its financial commitments. At December 31, 2015, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $239.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing time deposits and investment securities available-for-sale and $36.5 million in loans held-for-sale that were generally available for its cash needs. The Company can also generate funds from wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. At December 31, 2015, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $99.0 million in advances from the FHLB and correspondent bank Fed Funds lines of credit.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common shareholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash maintained at the holding company level and dividends from the Bank, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limits. At December 31, 2015, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $6.9 million in cash generally available for its cash needs.
The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing financial commitments, including withdrawals by depositors, credit commitments to borrowers, operating expenses and capital expenditures. At December 31, 2015, approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $131.9 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2015 totaled $287.7 million. Generally, the Company believes that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

In March 2013, the Company borrowed $4.0 million from the Bank for the purchase of the Company’s principal executive offices. The original scheduled maturity date of the loan was March 6, 2014. Effective March 6, 2014, the Company entered into an Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that, among other things, extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2015. Effective March 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2016.  Effective February 26, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2017. The loan bears interest during the term at a variable rate equal to the then applicable prime rate (as determined by the Bank with reference to the “Prime Rate” published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 1.00% per annum. The loan agreement contains customary warranties and representations, affirmative covenants and events of default. The loan agreement provides that the loan is to be secured by a first priority mortgage and lien on the acquired property and requires that the Company, at all times, maintain collateral securing the loan with an “as is” market value of not less than 1.3 times the principal balance of the loan.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This annual report on Form 10-K contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, tangible assets, average tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity and tangible common equity to tangible assets are used by management to measure the strength of its capital and its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the following table.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Allowance for Loan Losses. We believe the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. An estimate of potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio areis determined and an allowance for those losses is established by considering factors including historical loss rates, expected cash flows, and estimated collateral values. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses quarterly. If the underlying assumptions later prove to be inaccurate based on subsequent loss evaluations, the allowance for loan losses is adjusted.
 

38



Management estimates the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses by separately evaluating impaired and non-impaired loans. A specific allowance is assigned to an impaired loan when expected cash flows or collateral do not justify the carrying amount of the loan. The methodology used to assign an allowance to a non-impaired loan is more subjective. Generally, the allowance assigned to non-impaired loans is determined by applying historical loss rates to existing loans with similar risk characteristics, adjusted for qualitative factors including changes in economic conditions, changes in underwriting standards, and changes in concentrations of credit risk, and changes in industry conditions. Because the economic and business climate in any given industry or market, and its impact on any given borrower, can change rapidly, the risk profile of the loan portfolio is periodically assessed and adjusted when appropriate. Notwithstanding these procedures, there still exists the possibility that the assessment could prove to be significantly incorrect and that an immediate adjustment to the allowance for loan losses would be required.
 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. We classify investments in debt and equity securities as available for saleavailable-for-sale in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 320, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” Securities classified as held-to-maturity would be recorded at cost or amortized cost. Available for saleAvailable-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Fair value calculations are based on quoted market prices, when such prices are available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimates of fair value are computed using a variety of pricing sources, including Reuters/EJV, Interactive Data and Standard & Poors. Due to the subjective nature of the valuation process, it is possible that the actual fair values of these investments could differ from the estimated amounts, thereby affecting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. If the estimated value of investments is less than the cost or amortized cost, management evaluates whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If such an event or change has occurred and management determines that the impairment is other-than-temporary, a further determination is made as to the portion of impairment that is related to credit loss. The impairment of the investment that is related to the credit loss is expensed in the period in which the event or change occurred. The remainder of the impairment is recorded in other comprehensive income.income (loss).
 
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”). OREO acquired through loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. The adjustment at the time of foreclosure is recorded through the allowance for loan losses. Due to the subjective nature of establishing the fair value when the asset is acquired, the actual fair value of the OREO or foreclosed asset could differ from the original estimate. If it is determined that fair value declines subsequent

38



to foreclosure, a valuation adjustment is recorded through noninterest expense. Net operating costs associated with the assets after acquisition are also recorded as noninterest expense. Gains and losses on the disposition of OREO and foreclosed assets are netted and posted through noninterest income.
 
Impairment of Goodwill. As a result of the Company’s previous acquisition of Landmark Financial Corporation, goodwill, an intangible asset with an indefinite life, is reflected on the balance sheet. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, unless there are factors present that indicate a potential impairment, in which case, the goodwill impairment test is performed more frequently.
 
Deferred Income Tax Assets/Liabilities. Our net deferred income tax asset arises from differences in the dates that items of income and expense enter into our reported income and taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for these items as they arise. From an accounting standpoint, deferred tax assets are reviewed to determine if they are realizable based on the historical level of taxable income, estimates of future taxable income and the reversals of deferred tax liabilities. In most cases, the realization of the deferred tax asset is based on future profitability. If we were to experience net operating losses for tax purposes in a future period, the realization of deferred tax assets would be evaluated for a potential valuation reserve.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial transactions to extend credit and forms of commitments that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We enter into forward contracts relating to our mortgage banking business to hedge the exposures we have from commitments to extend new residential mortgage loans to our customers and from our mortgage loans held-for-sale. At December 31, 20142015 and December 31, 2013,2014, we had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $55.1$42.7 million and $30.6$55.1 million, respectively. These contracts mature in less than one year.

Item 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The primary source of market risk for the Company is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and the value of the Company’s equity resulting from changes in market interest rates and arises in the normal course of business to the extent that there are timing and volume differences between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, re-priced or mature in specified periods. The Company seeks to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and equity while managing volatility arising from shifts in market interest rates.
The Company monitors its interest rate risk position using income simulation models and economic value of equity (“EVE”) sensitivity analysis that capture both short-term and long-term interest rate risk exposure. Income simulation involves forecasting net interest income (“NII”) under a variety of interest rate scenarios. The Company uses EVE sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in interest rates on long-term cash flows, income and capital. EVE is calculated by discounting the cash flows for all balance sheet instruments under different interest-rate scenarios. Modeling the sensitivity of NII and EVE to changes in market interest rates is highly dependent on the assumptions incorporated into the modeling process. The Company continually reviews and refines the assumptions used in its interest rate risk modeling.
Presented below is the estimated impact on the Company's NII and EVE position as of December 31, 2015, assuming parallel shifts in interest rates:
 % Change from Base Case for Parallel Changes in Rates
 
-100 Basis Points 1
 +100 Basis Points +200 Basis Points
NII - next twelve months(1.06)% 0.11 % 0.21 %
EVE1.60 % (5.16)% (9.52)%

1 Because certain current interest rates are at or below 1.00%, the 100 basis point downward shock assumes that certain corresponding interest rates approach an implied floor that, in effect, reflects a decrease of less than the full 100 basis point downward shock.
The Company’s objective is to manage the balance sheet with a bias toward asset sensitivity while simultaneously balancing the potential earnings impact of this strategy. A “risk-neutral” position refers to the absence of a strong bias toward either asset or liability sensitivity.  An “asset sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate higher net interest income when interest rates, primarily short-term rates, increase as rates earned on interest-earning assets would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice.  A “liability sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate lower net interest income when short-term interest rates increase as rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates earned on interest-earning assets.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20142015 and 2013,2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended.in the three-year period ended December 31, 2015. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audits included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and 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 First Internet Bancorp as of December 31, 20142015 and 2013,2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years thenin the three-year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), First Internet Bancorp’sBancorp's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014,2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992)(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 13, 2015,10, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Shareholders
First Internet Bancorp
Indianapolis,Fishers, Indiana

We have audited First Internet Bancorp’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014,2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992)(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management’s Assessment of Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, First Internet Bancorp maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014,2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992)(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of First Internet Bancorp and our report dated March 13, 2015,10, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Note 1:        Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The accounting policies of First Internet Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies follows:
 
Description of Business
 
The Company was incorporated on September 15, 2005, and was approved to consummateconsummated a plan of exchange on March 21, 2006, by which the Company became a bank holding company owningand 100% owner of First Internet Bank of Indiana (the “Bank”).
 
The Bank provides commercial and retail banking services, with operations conducted on the Internet at www.firstib.com and primarily through its corporate office located in Indianapolis,Fishers, Indiana as well as a loan production officesoffice in Tempe, Arizona and Portland, Oregon.Arizona. The majority of the Bank’s income is derived from commercial lending, retail lending, and mortgage banking activities. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank is regulated by certain state and federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
 
JKH Realty Services, LLC was established August 20, 2012 as a single member LLC wholly owned by the Bank to manage other real estate owned properties as needed.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary.direct and indirect subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s business activities are currently limited to one reporting unit and reportable segment, which is commercial banking.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company utilizes processes that involve the use of significant estimates and the judgment of management in determining the amount of the Company’s allowance for credit losses and income taxes, as well as fair value measurements of investment securities, derivatives, goodwill, and loans held-for-sale.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
Securities
 
The Company classifies its securities in one of three categories and accounts for the investments as follows:

Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and reported at amortized cost. The Company had no securities classified as “held to maturity” at December 31, 2014 and 2013.2015 or 2014.

Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the objective of generating economic profits on short-term differences in market characteristics are classified as “trading securities” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The Company had no securities classified as “trading securities” at December 31, 2014 and 2013.2015 or 2014.

Securities not classified as either “held to maturity” or “trading securities” are classified as “securities available for sale” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, after applicable taxes, excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Declines in the value of debt securities and marketable equity securities that are considered to be other-than-temporary are recorded as an other-than-temporary impairment of securities available for sale with other-than-temporary impairment losses recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

F-9F-8




First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(DollarTabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of premium or discount, is included in earnings using the effective interest rate method. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets on the trade date. Gains and losses from security sales or disposals are recognized as of the trade date in the consolidated statements of income for the period in which securities are sold or otherwise disposed of. Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined onusing the specific-identification method.
 
Loans Held-for-Sale
 
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under best-efforts pricing agreements are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income.

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements are carried at fair value to facilitate hedging of the loans. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are included in noninterest income.

Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Interest income on loans is accrued as earned using the interest method based on unpaid principal balances except for interest on loans in nonaccrual status. Interest on loans in nonaccrual status is recorded as a reduction of loan principal when received.
 
Premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest rate method.
 
Loan fees, net of certain direct origination costs, primarily salaries and wages, are deferred and amortized to interest income as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan.
     
Loans Receivable
 
Loans that management has the intent and abilityintends to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any unamortized deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
 
For loans recorded at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses Methodology
 
Company policy is designed to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”). Primary responsibility for ensuring that the Company has processes in place to consistently assess the adequacy of the ALLL rests with the Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Board has charged management with responsibility for establishing the methodology to be used and to assess the adequacy of the ALLL. The Board reviews recommendations from management on a quarterly basis to adjust the allowance as appropriate.
 
The methodology employed by management for each portfolio segment, at a minimum, contains the following:

1.Loans are segmented by type of loan.


F-9




First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

2.The required ALLL for types of performing homogeneous loans which do not have a specific reserve is determined by applying a factor based on historical losses averaged over the past twelve months. In those instances where the Company’s historical experience is not available, management develops factors based on industry experience and best practices.

F-10

First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)


3.All criticized, classified and impaired loans are tested for impairment by applying one of three methodologies:

a.Present value of future cash flows;

b.Fair value of collateral less costs to sell; or

c.The loan’s observable market price

4.All troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) are considered impaired loans.

5.Loans tested for impairment are removed from other pools to prevent layering (double-counting).

6.The required ALLL for each group of loans are added together to determine the total required ALLL for the Company. The required ALLL is compared to the existing ALLL to determine the provision required to increase the ALLL or credit to decrease the ALLL.
   
The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based onconsiders two weighted average net charge-off trends: 1) the actualCompany’s average loss history experienced over the prior twelve months.previous sixteen quarters; and 2) average loss history over the previous sixteen quarters for a peer group. Management believes the historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment, as it captures loss rates that are comparable to the current period being analyzed.
 
The Company also factors in the following qualitative considerations:

1.Changes in policies and procedures;

2.Changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions;

3.Changes in the composition and size of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

4.Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

5.Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

6.Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system;

7.Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;

8.The existence and effect of any concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

9.The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

During 2015, management elected to further segment the presentation of the Company’s loan portfolio.  The revised segmentation groups loans with similar characteristics, allows for greater insight of qualitative considerations and is consistent with how the Company manages its loan portfolio. This revision did not have a material impact on the overall balance of the allowance. December 31, 2014 loan balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion of each loan portfolio segment’s risk characteristics.

Provision for Loan Losses
 
A provision for estimated losses on loans is charged to income based upon management’s evaluation of the potential losses. Such an evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full repayment may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, as applicable, economic conditions, loan loss experience, and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment in the near term. While management attempts to use the best information available in making its evaluations, future allowance adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions change substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations.
 
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates or the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.

F-11

First Internet Bancorp

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)


Nonaccrual Loans
 
Any loan which becomes 90 days delinquent or for which the full collection of principal and interest may be in doubt will be considered for nonaccrual status. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued but unpaid interest will be reversed from interest income. Placing the loan on nonaccrual status does not relieve the borrower of the obligation to repay interest. A loan placed on nonaccrual status may be restored to accrual status when all delinquent principal and interest has been brought current, and the Company expects full payment of the remaining contractual principal and interest.
 
Impaired Loans
 
A loan is designated as impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments with insignificant delays generally not exceeding 90 days outstanding are generally not considered impaired. Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be considered to be impaired. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.
Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in TDRs where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, requires that impaired loans be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates or the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”)
 
The loan portfolio includes certain loans that have been modified in a TDR, where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from loss mitigation efforts and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and typically are returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally not less than six months.
 
When loans are modified in a TDR, any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans is evaluated based on either the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If it is determined that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded balance of the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific ALLL or charge-off to the ALLL. In periods subsequent to modification, all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, are evaluated for possible impairment, and impairment is recognized through the ALLL.

Policy for Charging Off Loans
 
A loan should be generally charged off at any point in time when it no longer can be considered a bankable asset, meaning collected within the parameters of policy. A secured loan generally should be charged off to the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, no later than when it is 120 days past due as to principal or interest. An unsecured loan generally should be charged off no later than when it is 180 days past due as to principal or interest. All charge-offs are approved by the Chief Credit Officer.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Indianapolis Stock
 
Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB system to hold common stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This investment is stated at cost, which represents redemption value, and may be pledged as collateral for FHLB advances.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Other Real Estate Owned
 
Other real estate owned represents real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and is recorded at its fair value less estimated costs to sell. When property is acquired, it is recorded at its fair value at the date of acquisition with any resulting write-down charged against the ALLL. Any subsequent deterioration of the property is charged directly to operating expense. Costs relating to the development and improvement of other real estate owned are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding and maintaining the property are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Premises and Equipment
 
Premises and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years for software and equipment, 39 years for buildings, and ten years for land improvements.improvements, and 39 years for buildings.

Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Company enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and enters into interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. The forward contracts are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to fund the loans.
 
AllEach of these items are considered derivatives, but are not designated as accounting hedges, and therefore, are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of derivative instruments with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets while derivative instruments with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company records or discloses certain assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels in a valuation hierarchy. ASC Topic 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 

F-12




First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Level 2Observable 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
 
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

There were no transfers that occurred and, therefore, recognized, between any of the fair value hierarchy levels at December 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
  
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws and regulations. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based upon the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to period, subject to an ongoing assessment of realization of deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, Indiana, and other state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.

ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions that it believes should be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2014,2015, the fair value of available for saleavailable-for-sale investment securities pledged as collateral was $130,600.$150.8 million. The Company pledged the securities for various types of transactions, including FHLB advances and derivative financial instruments.
 
Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 20142015 and 20132014 was $86,873$166.1 million and $109,946,$86.9 million, which is approximately 63%78% and 61%63%, respectively, of the Company’s available for saleavailable-for-sale securities portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from fluctuations in market interest rates after purchase.
    
Except as discussed below, managementManagement believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.
 
Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced with the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is identified.

 U.S. Government-Sponsored Agencies, Municipal Securities, and MunicipalCorporate Securities
 
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities issued by U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, municipal organizations and municipal securitiescorporate entities were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost bases over the term of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.2015.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities
 
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities were caused by interest rate changes. The Company expects to recover the amortized cost bases over the term of the securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.2015.

For identified mortgage-backed securities in the investment portfolio, an extensive, quarterly review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Various inputs to the economic models are used to determine if an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary. The most significant inputs are voluntary prepayment rates, default rates, liquidation rates, and loss severity.Other Securities

To determine if the unrealized loss for mortgage-backed securities is other-than-temporary, the Company projects total estimated defaults of the underlying assets (mortgages) and multiplies that calculated amount by an estimate of realizable

The Company also evaluates the current credit enhancement underlying the security to determine the impact on cash flows. If the Company determines that a given mortgage-backed security position will be subject to a write-down or loss, the Company records the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings.

Other Securities

The Company’s unrealized loss on investments in other securities at December 31, 2013 primarily consisted of two investments, both of which were sold in the second quarter of 2014.

The first investment was a $2,000 par investment in I-PreTSL I B-2 pooled trust security. The unrealized loss was primarily caused by a sector downgrade by several industry analysts. The determination of no credit loss was calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the investment.
The second investment was a $2,000 par investment in ALESCO IV Series B2 pooled trust security for which the Company had recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss. The unrealized loss was primarily caused by: (a) a decrease in performance; and (b) a sector downgrade by several industry analysts. The credit loss was calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the investment.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are summarized as follows:

Commercial Real Estateand Industrial: : These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loansCommercial and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. These loans may also incorporate a personal guarantee. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and theindustrial loans’ source of repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of property type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on property financial performance, collateral value, and other risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing special use projects or properties outside of its designated market areas unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner-occupied loans.
Commercial: Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Loans are made for working capital, equipment purchases, or other purposes. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-termguarantee.

Owner-Occupied Commercial Real Estate: The primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower, or an affiliate of the borrower, who owns the property. This portfolio is generally concentrated in the Central Indiana and greater Phoenix, Arizona markets and often times is secured by manufacturing and service facilities, as well as office buildings.

Investor Commercial Real Estate: These loans are underwritten primarily based on the cash flow expected to be generated from the property and are secondarily supported by the value of the real estate. These loans typically incorporate a personal guarantee. This portfolio typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Investor commercial real estate loans may be mademore adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets, changing industry dynamics, or the overall health of the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s investor commercial real estate portfolio tend to be diverse in terms of property type and are typically located in the state of Indiana and markets adjacent to Indiana. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on an unsecured basis.property financial performance, collateral value, guarantor strength, and other risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing special use projects or properties outside of its designated market areas unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk.

Construction: Construction loans are secured by real estate and improvements and are made to assist in the construction of new structures, which may include commercial (retail, industrial, office, multi-family) properties or single family residential properties offered for sale by the builder. These loans generally finance a variety of project costs, including land, site preparation, construction, closing and soft costs and interim financing needs. The cash flows of builders, while initially predictable, may fluctuate with market conditions, and the value of the collateral securing these loans may be subject to fluctuations based on general economic changes.
Single Tenant Lease Financing: These loans are made to property owners of real estate subject to long term lease arrangements with single tenant operators. The real estate is typically operated by regionally, nationally or globally branded businesses.  The loans are underwritten based on the financial strength of the borrower, characteristics of the real estate, cash flows generated from the lease arrangements and the financial strength of the tenant.  Similar to the other loan portfolios, management monitors and evaluates these loans based on borrower and tenant financial performance, collateral value, industry trends and other risk grade criteria.

Residential Real Estate and ConsumerMortgage:: With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generallytypically establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the financial circumstances of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers in geographically diverse locations throughout the country.
Home Equity:Home equity loans and lines of credit are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences. The properties securing the Company’s residential loanCompany's home equity portfolio are generally geographically diverse as the Company offers these loansproducts on a nationwide basis. Repayment on residentialof home equity loans canand lines of credit may be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties.properties and unemployment levels, among other economic conditions and financial circumstances in the market.
Other Consumer: These loans primarily consist of consumer loans and credit cards. Consumer loans aremay be secured by consumer assets such as horse trailers or recreational vehicles, or automobiles.vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured, such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of consumer loans is primarily dependent upon the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers in geographically diverse locations throughout the country.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. A description of the general characteristics of the nine risk grades is as follows:
 
“Pass” (Grades 1-5) - Higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

“Special Mention” (Grade 6) - Loans that possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserve close attention.

“Substandard” (Grade 7) - Loans that possess a defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the

deficiencies are not corrected. Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

“Doubtful” (Grade 8) - Such loans have been placed on nonaccrual status and may be heavily dependent upon collateral possessing a value that is difficult to determine or based upon some near-term event which lacks clear certainty. These loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard; however, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of the principal balance highly improbable.

“Loss” (Grade 9) - Loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets is not warranted.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance in ASC Topic 310, Receivables, when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

In the course of working with troubled borrowers, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certainThe table below presents average balances and interest income recognized for impaired loans in an effort to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to optimize the collectability of the loan. Any loan modified is reviewed by the Company to identify if a TDR has occurred, which is when the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider based on economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status or the loan may be restructured to secure additional collateral and/or guarantees to support the debt, or a combination of the two.
Loans classified as a TDR during the yearstwelve months ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 are shown in the tables below.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a $50.0 million option-embedded advance that is scheduled to mature on April 17, 2020.  The advance will convert from a variable rate of 3-month LIBOR minus 0.75% to a fixed rate equal to 1.0525% on April 18, 2016.  The FHLB has the option to put the advance prior to its scheduled maturity date.  If the advance is put by the FHLB, the Company has the option to request to convert the advance to an adjustable rate advance of predetermined index for the remaining term to maturity, at the FHLB’s discretion.
As of December 31, 2015 the Company had a $40.0 million symmetrical fixed rate bullet advance that is scheduled to mature on January 19, 2021. The terms of the advance allow the Company to terminate the advance prior to its scheduled maturity date.  If the Company elects to terminate the advance prior to its scheduled maturity date and the interest rate for the advance is above market rates relative to an advance with a similar remaining term, the Company will be required to pay a prepayment fee based on the mark-to-market adjustment of the advance.  If the Company elects to terminate the advance prior to its scheduled maturity date and the interest rate for the advance is below market rates relative to an advance with a similar remaining term, the Company would be eligible for a prepayment credit and could realize a gain, which is limited to 10% of the advance principal balance, when the advance is prepaid.    

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a $15.0 million fixed rate advance that is scheduled to mature on September 2, 2025.  The FHLB has a one-time option to put the advance on September 2, 2020.  If the FHLB exercises its option to put the advance, the advance will be prepayable without a fee at the Company’s option on the exercise date.  If the Company requests to convert the advance to an adjustable rate after the FHLB has put the advance, the Company may prepay the advance without a fee on any subsequent quarterly reset date.

Note 9:        Subordinated Debt

In connection with the debenture, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase up to 48,750 shares of common stock at an initial per share exercise price equal to $19.33. The warrant became exercisable on June 28, 2014 and, unless previously exercised, will expire on June 28, 2021. The Company has the right to force an exercise of the warrant after the debenture has been repaid in full if the 20-day volume-weighted average price of a share of its common stock exceeds $30.00.
The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to assign a fair value of $0.3 million to the warrant as of June 28, 2013. The following assumptions were used to value the warrant: a risk-free interest rate of 0.66% per the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of issuance; an expected dividend yield of 1.19% calculated using the dividend rate and stock price at the date of the issuance; and an expected volatility of 34% based on the estimated volatility of the Company’s stock over the expected term of the warrant, which is estimated to be three years.

Further, in management’s opinion, these loans did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
 
Management evaluated related party loans and extensions of credit at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and deemed the balances immaterial.

Note 12:13:        Regulatory Capital Requirements
 
The Company and the Bank are each subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking regulatory agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capitalCapital adequacy guidelines and, the regulatory frameworkadditionally 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 about components, risk weighting and other factors.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions. Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital, as defined in the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (“Leverage Ratio”).

When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules will require the Company and the Bank to maintain: 1) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0% upon full implementation); 2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation); 3) a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation); and 4) a minimum Leverage Ratio of 4.0%.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will phase in over a four-year period increasing by increments of that amount on each subsequent January 1 until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to maintain the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio plus the capital conservation buffer will result in potential restrictions on a banking institution’s ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees.

The following table presents actual and other factors. Furthermore, the regulatorsrequired capital ratios as of December 31, 2014 for the Company and Bank could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

Quantitative measures that have been established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. As of December 31, 2014, the most recent notification from the FDIC 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 Bank’s categories.capital rules then in effect.

Note 14:15:        Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASU Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2Observable 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
 
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
 
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
Securities
 
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid mutual funds. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.
 
Level 2 securities include U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, mortgage-andmortgage and asset-backed securities, state and municipal securities, and certain corporate securities. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities.

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain other securities.hierarchy. Fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows. Discounted cash flows are calculated based off of the anticipated future cash flows updated to incorporate loss severities and volatility.severities. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as default and deferral activity are reviewed and incorporated into the calculation. The Company did not own any securities classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy as of December 31, 2015 or 2014.

Loans Held-for-Sale (mandatory pricing agreements)

The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).

Forward Contracts

The fair values of forward contracts on to-be-announced securities are determined using quoted prices in active markets, or benchmarked thereto (Level 1).

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The fair value of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are determined using the projected sale price of individual loans based on changes in market interest rates, projected pull-through rates (the probability that an IRLC will ultimately result in an originated loan), the reduction in the value of the applicant’s option due to the passage of time, and the remaining origination costs to be incurred based on management’s estimate of market costs (Level 3).

The following tables present the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 20142015 and 2013:2014:

Following is a description ofThe following describes the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)
 
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, for collateral dependent loans.
 
If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value.

Note 16:        Mortgage Banking Activities

The Company’s residential real estate lending business originates mortgage loans for customers and sells a majority of the originated loans into the secondary market. The Company hedges its mortgage banking pipeline by entering into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and entering into interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. To facilitate the hedging of the loans, the Company has elected the fair value option for loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements. Changes in the fair value of loans held-for-sale, interest rate lock commitments and forward contracts are recorded in the mortgage banking activities line item within noninterest income.  Refer to Note 17 for further information on derivative financial instruments. 

During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company originated mortgage loans held-for-sale of $502.7 million, $409.7 million, and $741.1 million, respectively, and sold $509.4 million, $409.5 million, and $784.1 million of mortgage loans, respectively, into the secondary market.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities. The Company enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and enters into IRLCs with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market. The forward contracts are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to fund the loans.

Note 16:        Subordinated Debenture
On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a subordinated debenture purchase agreement with a third party and issued a subordinated debenture in the principal amount of $3,000 which bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 8.00% and is scheduled to mature on June 28, 2021; however, the Company can repay the debenture without premium or penalty at any time after June 28, 2016. The debenture qualifies for treatment as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes. The purchase agreement and the debenture contain customary subordination provisions and events of default; however, the right of the investor to accelerate the payment of the debenture is limited to bankruptcy or insolvency.
As partial inducement for the third party to purchase the debenture, the Company issued to the third party a warrant to purchase up to 48,750 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial per share exercise price equal to $19.33. The warrant became exercisable on June 28, 2014, and unless previously exercised, will expire on June 28, 2021. The Company has the right to force an exercise of the warrant after the debenture has been repaid in full if the 20-day volume-weighted average price of a share of its common stock exceeds $30.00.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to assign a fair value of $255 to the warrant as of June 28, 2013. The following assumptions were used to value the warrant: a risk-free interest rate of 0.66% per the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of issuance, an expected dividend yield of 1.19% calculated using the dividend rate and stock price at the date of the issuance, and an expected volatility of 34% based on the estimated volatility of the Company’s stock over the expected term of the warrant, which is estimated to be three years.

Note 17:18:     Shareholders’ Equity

In 2013, the Company completed a public offering of 1.587 million shares of its common stock and received net proceeds of approximately $29,101.$29.1 million.

This Update permits entitiesis part of an initiative to make anreduce complexity in accounting policy electionstandards (the “Simplification Initiative”) implemented by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to accountidentify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for their investmentswhich cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in qualified affordable housing projects usingthis Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the proportional amortization method if certain conditionsbalance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are met. The ASU modifiesnot affected by the conditions that an entity must meet to be eligible to use a method other than the equity or cost methods to account for qualified affordable housing project investments.

This Update shouldwill be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.presented, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted this Update during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and has included the required disclosures in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Accounting Standards Update 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date (August 2015)

The amendments in this Update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Update 2014-09 provides a five-step model for revenue recognition that all industries will apply to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of a good or service. Public business entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a significant effect on the ASUCompany’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement - Period Adjustments (September 2015)

This Update is part of the Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this Update require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this Update require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this Update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be implemented using the prospective method. Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-04,Accounting Standards Update 2016-01, ReceivablesFinancial Instruments - Troubled Debt Restructurings by CreditorsOverall (Subtopic 310-40)825-10): ReclassificationRecognition and Measurement of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(January 2014) (January 2016)

The objective of this Update is to reduce diversity by clarifying when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The amendments in this Update mayaffect all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. The amendments in this Update supersede the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories (that is, trading or available-for-sale) and require equity securities (including other ownership interests, such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures, and limited liability companies) to be adopted usingmeasured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. An entity’s equity investments that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or result in consolidation of an investee are not included within the scope of this Update. The amendments allow equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values to be remeasured at fair value either a modified retrospective transition methodupon the occurrence of an observable price change or a prospective transition method. Adoptionupon identification of an impairment. The amendments also require enhanced disclosures about those investments.

The amendments in this Update also simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring assessment for impairment qualitatively at each reporting period. That impairment assessment is similar to the qualitative assessment for long-lived assets, goodwill, and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Upon determining that impairment exists, an entity should calculate the fair value of that investment and recognize as an impairment in net income any amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the ASU is not expectedinvestment.

The amendments in this Update require public business entities that are required to have a significant effectdisclose fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the Company’s consolidatedbalance sheet to measure that fair value using the exit price notion consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. This change to GAAP eliminates the entry price method previously used by some entities for disclosure purposes for some financial assets. Previously, GAAP permitted entities an option to measure fair value in two different ways.

The amendments in this Update require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. That presentation addresses financial statement users’ feedback that presenting the total change in fair value of a liability in net income reduced the decision usefulness of an entity’s net income when it had a deterioration in its credit worthiness. This amendment excludes from net income gains or losses that the entity may not realize because those financial liabilities are not usually transferred or settled at their fair values before maturity.

The amendments in this Update require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, RevenueThe amendments in this Update reduce diversity in current practice by clarifying that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The feedback received by the Financial Accounting Standards Board indicated that there is diversity in practice in that some entities evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities separately from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (May 2014)their other deferred tax assets.

Section B - Conforming Amendments to Other Topics and Subtopics inFor public business entities, the Codification and Status Tables
Section C - Background Information and Basis for Conclusions

The topic of revenue recognition had become broad with several other regulatory agencies issuing standards which lacked cohesion. The new guidance establishes a “comprehensive framework” and “reduces the number of requirements to which an entity must consider in recognizing revenue” and yet provides improved disclosures to assist stakeholders reviewing financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periodsfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company will adopt2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be implemented using the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required.prospective method.

ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (June 2014)

This Update addresses the concerns of stakeholders’ by changing the accounting practices surrounding repurchase agreements. The new guidance changes the “accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings to secured borrowing accounting, which is consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements.” The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (June 2014)

This Update defines the accounting treatment for share-based payments and “resolves the diverse accounting treatment of those awards in practice.” The new requirement mandates that “a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition.” Compensation cost will now be recognized in the period in which it becomes likely that the performance target will be met. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted.

ASU 2014-14, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (August 2014)

The objective of this Update is to reduce diversity in practice by addressing the classification of foreclosed mortgage loans that are fully or partially guaranteed under government programs. Currently, some creditors reclassify those loans to real estate as with other foreclosed loans that do not have guarantees; others reclassify the loans to other receivables. The amendments affect creditors that hold government-guaranteed mortgage loans, including those guaranteed by the FHA and the VA.

An entity should adopt the amendments in this Update using either a prospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method.  For prospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments in this Update to foreclosures that occur after the date of adoption.  For the modified retrospective transition, an entity should apply the amendments in the Update by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment (through a reclassification to a separate other receivable) as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  Prior periods should not be adjusted.  However, a reporting entity must apply the same method of transition as elected under ASU 2014-04.  The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2015 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted if the entity already has adopted Update 2014-04. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (August 2014)

The Update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (February 2016)

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended its standards with respect to the accounting for leases. The amended standard serves to replace all current GAAP guidance on this topic and requires that an operating lease be recognized by the lessee on the balance sheet as a “right-of-use” asset along with a corresponding liability representing the rent obligation. Key aspects of current lessor accounting remain unchanged from existing guidance. This standard is expected to result in an increase to assets and liabilities recognized and, therefore, increase risk-weighted assets for regulatory capital purposes. The amended standard requires the use of the modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases that have not expired before the date of initial application and will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier application of the amended standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
