Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries NWIN Risk Management, Inc. (a captive insurance subsidiary) and Peoples Bank SB (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Peoples Service Corporation, NWIN, LLC, NWIN Funding, Incorporated, and Columbia Development Company, LLC. The Bancorp’s business activities include being a holding company for the Bank as well as a holding company for NWIN Risk Management, Inc. The Bancorp’s earnings are primarily dependent upon the earnings of the Bank. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete presentation of consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated balance sheets of the Bancorp as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The income reported for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2 - Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period, as well as the disclosures provided. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates associated with the allowance for loan losses, fair values of foreclosed real estate, loan servicing rights, investment securities, deferred tax assets, goodwill, and the status of contingencies are particularly susceptible to material change in the near term.

Note 3 - Securities

The estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities and the related gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income were as follows:

Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because the securities are of high credit quality or have undisrupted cash flows. Management has the intent and ability to hold those securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and volatility in securities markets. The fair values are expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

The Bancorp has established a standard loan grading system to assist management, lenders and review personnel in their analysis and supervision of the loan portfolio. The use and application of theses grades by the Bancorp is uniform and conforms to regulatory definitions. The loan grading system is as follows:

2 – Moderate risk

Borrower consistently internally generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, working assets, and some capital expenditures. Risk of default considered low.

3 – Above average acceptable risk

Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service and some working assets and/or capital expansion needs. Profitability and key balance sheet ratios are at or slightly above peers. Current trends are positive or stable. Earnings may be level or trending down slightly or be erratic; however, positive strengths are offsetting. Risk of default is reasonable but may warrant collateral protection.

4 – Acceptable risk

Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service, but most working asset and all capital expansion needs are provided from external sources. Profitability ratios and key balance sheet ratios are usually close to peers but one or more ratios (e.g. leverage) may be higher than peer. Earnings may be trending down over the last three years. Borrower may be able to obtain similar financing from other banks with comparable or less favorable terms. Risk of default is acceptable but requires collateral protection.

5 – Marginally acceptable risk

Borrower may exhibit excessive growth, declining earnings, strained cash flow, increasing leverage and/or weakening market position that indicate above average risk. Limited additional debt capacity, modest coverage, and average or below average asset quality, margins and market share. Interim losses and/or adverse trends may occur, but not to the level that would affect the Bank’s position. The potential for default is higher than normal but considered marginally acceptable based on prospects for improving financial performance and the strength of the collateral.

6 – Pass/monitor

The borrower has significant weaknesses resulting from performance trends or management concerns. The financial condition of the company has taken a negative turn and may be temporarily strained. Cash flow may be weak but cash reserves remain adequate to meet debt service. Management weaknesses are evident. Borrowers in this category will warrant more than the normal level of supervision and more frequent reporting.

7 – Special mention (watch)

Special mention credits are considered bankable assets with no apparent loss of principal or interest envisioned but requiring a high level of management attention. Assets in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak. These borrowers are subject to economic, industry, or management factors having an adverse impact upon their prospects for orderly service of debt. The perceived risk in continued lending is considered to have increased beyond the level where such loans would normally be granted. These assets constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a classification of Substandard.

8 – Substandard

This classification consists of loans which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. Financial statements normally reveal some or all of the following: poor trends, lack of earnings and cash flow, excessive debt, lack of liquidity, and the absence of creditor protection. Loans are still considered collectible, but due to increased risks and defined weaknesses of the credit, some loss could be incurred in collection if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Performing loans are loans that are paying as agreed and are approximately less than ninety days past due on payments of interest and principal.

During the first six months of 2017, no loans were modified as a troubled debt restructuring. No troubled debt restructurings have subsequently defaulted during the periods presented. All of the loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are also considered impaired. The valuation basis for the Bancorp’s troubled debt restructurings is based on the present value of cash flows, unless consistent cash flows are not present, then the fair value of the collateral securing the loan is the basis for valuation.

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

As part of the acquisitions of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hammond (“First Federal”), which closed during the second quarter of 2014, and Liberty Savings Bank (‘Liberty”), which closed during the third quarter of 2015, the Bancorp acquired loans for which there was evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination and it was determined that it was probable that the Bancorp would be unable to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. At June 30, 2017, total purchased credit impaired loans with unpaid principal balances totaled $2.8 million with a recorded investment of $806 thousand, compared to December 31, 2016, which unpaid principal balances totaled $2.9 million with a recorded investment of $956 thousand. First Federal purchased credit impaired loans with unpaid principal balances totaled $1.1 million with a recorded investment of $400 thousand, compared to December 31, 2016, which unpaid principal balances totaled $1.2 million with a recorded investment of $507 thousand. Liberty purchased credit impaired loans with unpaid principal balances totaled $1.7 million with a recorded investment of $406 thousand compared to December 31, 2016, which unpaid principal balances totaled $1.7 million with a recorded investment of $449 thousand.

Note 6 - Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, and Acquisition Related Accounting

The Bancorp established a goodwill balance totaling $2.8 million with the acquisitions of First Federal and Liberty. Goodwill of $2.0 million was established with the acquisition of First Federal and goodwill of $804 thousand was established with the acquisition of Liberty. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. The Bancorp’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of the Bancorp to provide quality, cost effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. There has not been any impairment of goodwill identified or recorded. During the second quarter of 2016, original estimates related to Liberty goodwill components were adjusted. Estimates of fair values related to a pool of purchased loans were determined to be lower than originally estimated, which led to the addition of $178 thousand to goodwill. Fixed asset valuations were also determined to be higher than originally estimated, which led to a reduction of $109 thousand to goodwill. Also, the valuation of the accrued withdrawal liability for the defined benefit plan was determined to be higher than originally estimated leading to the addition of $162 thousand to goodwill. Goodwill totaled $2.8 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

In addition to goodwill, a core deposit intangible of $93 thousand for the acquisition of First Federal was established and is being amortized over 7.9 years on a straight line basis. Approximately $6 thousand of amortization was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. It is estimated that an additional $6 thousand of additional amortization will occur during 2017 and the remaining amount of $48 thousand will be amortized through to the first quarter of 2022. A core deposit intangible of $471 thousand for the acquisition of Liberty was established and is being amortized over 8.2 years on a straight line basis. Approximately $29 thousand of amortization was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. It is estimated that $29 thousand of additional amortization will occur during 2017 and the remaining amount of $327 thousand will be amortized through to the third quarter of 2023.

For the First Federal acquisition, as part of the fair value of loans receivable, a net fair value discount was established for residential real estate, including home equity lines of credit, of $1.1 million that is being accreted over 55 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $73 thousand of accretion was taken into income for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $102 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016. It is estimated that $88 thousand of additional accretion will occur in 2017, and accretion of $147 thousand will occur during 2018. Similarly, for the Liberty acquisition, as part of the fair value of loans receivable, a net fair value discount was established for residential real estate, including home equity lines of credit, of $1.2 million that is being accreted over 44 months on a straight line basis. Approximately $152 thousand of accretion was taken into income for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $163 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016. It is estimated that $139 thousand of additional accretion will occur in 2017, accretion of $278 thousand will occur in 2018, and accretion of $46 thousand will occur during 2019.

For the Liberty acquisition, as part of the fair value of certificates of deposit, a fair value premium was established of $124 thousand that was amortized over 17 months on a straight line basis. No amortization expense was taken during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $44 thousand of amortization taken as expense during the six months ended June 30, 2016. No additional amortization expense will occur during 2017.

Note 7 - Concentrations of Credit Risk

The primary lending area of the Bancorp encompasses all of Lake County in northwest Indiana, where a majority of loan activity is concentrated. The Bancorp is also an active lender in Porter County, and to a lesser extent, LaPorte, Newton and Jasper counties in Indiana, and Lake, Cook and Will counties in Illinois. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including residences, commercial real estate, land development, business assets and consumer assets.

Note 8 - Earnings per Share

Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per common share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Note 9 - Stock Based Compensation

The Bancorp’s 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was adopted by the Bancorp’s Board of Directors on February 27, 2015 and approved by the Bancorp’s shareholders on April 24, 2015, permits the grant of equity awards for up to 250,000 shares of common stock. Awards granted under the Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, performance shares, or performance units.

As required by the Stock Compensation Topic, companies are required to record compensation cost for stock options and awards provided to employees in return for employment service. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, stock based compensation expense of $90 thousand was recorded, compared to $67 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016. It is anticipated that current outstanding unvested options and awards will result in additional compensation expense of approximately $102 thousand in 2017 and $147 thousand in 2018.

There were no incentive stock options granted during the first six months of 2017 or 2016. When options are granted, the cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employment service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options or awards.

A summary of incentive option activity under the Bancorp’s stock option and incentive plans described above for the six months ended June 30, 2017 follows:

					Weighted-
			Weighted-		Average
			Average		Remaining		Aggregate
			Exercise		Contractual		Intrinsic

Exercisable at June 30, 2017		500	$	28.50		0.7		6,000

There were 4,575 shares of restricted stock granted during the first six months of 2017 compared to 8,740 shares granted during the first six months of 2016. Restricted stock awards are issued with an award price equal to the market price of the Bancorp’s common stock on the award date and vest five years after the grant date. Forfeiture provisions exist for personnel that separate employment before the vesting period expires. A summary of restricted stock activity under the Bancorp’s incentive stock option and incentive plans described above for the six months ended June 30, 2017 follows:

			Weighted-
			Average

Note 10 - Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will supersede the current revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new guidance will be effective for the Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2018. The ASU permits application of the new revenue recognition guidance to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods. The Bancorp has not yet determined which application method it will use. Interest income is outside of the scope of the new standard and will not be impacted by the adoption of the standard. The Bancorp is still evaluating the impact of the new standard on its noninterest income.

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01,Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The ASU covers various changes to the accounting, measurement, and disclosures related to certain financial instruments, including requiring equity investments to be accounted for at fair value with changes recorded through earnings, the use of the exit price when measuring fair value, and disaggregation of financial assets and liabilities by category for disclosure purposes. The new guidance will be effective for the Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as early as periods ending after December 31, 2017 with some additional options for early application. The Bancorp does not believe adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 in the future will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Bancorp has not yet quantified the impact of the change.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016-02,Leases, which will supersede the current lease requirements in ASC 840. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with only capital leases recognized on the balance sheet. The reporting of lease-related expenses in the statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with the current guidance. The new lease guidance will be effective for the Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2019 and will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method to the beginning of the earliest period presented. Management does not believe the adoption of this update will have a material effect on the Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU includes increased disclosures and various changes to the accounting and measurement of financial assets including the Bancorp’s loans and available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities. Each financial asset presented on the balance sheet would have a unique allowance for credit losses valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and instead, reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses using reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new credit loss guidance will be effective for the Bancorp's year ending December 31, 2020. Upon adoption, the ASU will be applied using a modified retrospective transition method to the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. Early adoption for all institutions is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact adoption of this update will have on the Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 11 - Fair Value

The Fair Value Measurements Topic establishes a hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Topic describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined on a recurring basis by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or pricing models utilizing significant observable inputs such as matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Different judgments and assumptions used in pricing could result in different estimates of value. In certain cases where market data is not readily available because of a lack of market activity or little public disclosure, values may be based on unobservable inputs and classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

At the end of each reporting period, securities held in the investment portfolio are evaluated on an individual security level for other-than-temporary impairment in accordance with theInvestments – Debt and Equity SecuritiesTopic. Impairment is other-than-temporary if the decline in the fair value is below its amortized cost and it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be received. Significant judgments are required in determining impairment, which include making assumptions regarding the estimated prepayments, loss assumptions and the change in interest rates. The Bancorp considers the following factors when determining an other-than-temporary impairment for a security: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than amortized cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; the underlying fundamentals of the relevant market and the outlook for such market for the near future; an assessment of whether the Bancorp (1) has the intent to sell the debt securities or (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the debt securities before their anticipated market recovery. If either of these conditions is met, management will recognize other-than-temporary impairment. If, in management’s judgment, an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the cost basis of the security will be written down for the credit loss, and the unrealized loss will be transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an immediate reduction of current earnings.

The Bancorp’s management utilizes a specialist to perform an other-than-temporary impairment analysis for each of its four pooled trust preferred securities. The analysis is performed semiannually on June 30 and December 31 and utilizes analytical models used to project future cash flows for the pooled trust preferred securities based on current assumptions for prepayments, default and deferral rates, and recoveries. The projected cash flows are then tested for impairment consistent with theInvestments – OtherTopic and theInvestments – Debt and Equity SecuritiesTopic. The other-than-temporary impairment testing compares the present value of the cash flows from quarter to quarter to determine if there is a “favorable” or “adverse” change. Other-than-temporary impairment is recorded if the projected present value of cash flows is lower than the book value of the security. To perform the semi-annual other-than-temporary impairment analysis, management utilizes current reports issued by the trustee, which contain principal and interest tests, waterfall distributions, note valuations, collection detail and credit ratings for each pooled trust preferred security. In addition, a detailed review of the performing collateral was performed. The review of the collateral began with a review of financial information provided by SNL Financial, a comprehensive database, widely used in the industry, which gathers financial data on banks and thrifts from U.S. GAAP financial statements for public companies (annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, respectively), as well as regulatory reports for private companies, including consolidated financial statements for bank holding companies (FR Y-9C reports) and parent company-only financial statements for bank holding companies (FR Y-9LP reports) filed with the Federal Reserve, and bank call reports filed with the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of Currency. Using the information sources described above, for each bank and thrift examined the following items were examined: nature of the issuer’s business, years of operating history, corporate structure, loan composition and loan concentrations, deposit mix, asset growth rates, geographic footprint and local economic environment. The issuers’ historical financial performance was reviewed and their financial ratios were compared to appropriate peer groups of regional banks or thrifts with similar asset sizes. The analysis focused on six broad categories: profitability (revenue streams and earnings quality, return on assets and shareholder’s equity, net interest margin and interest rate sensitivity), credit quality (charge-offs and recoveries, non-current loans and total non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans, loan loss reserve coverage and the adequacy of the loan loss provision), operating efficiency (non-interest expense compared to total revenue), capital adequacy (Tier-1, total capital and leverage ratios and equity capital growth), leverage (tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets, short-term and long-term borrowings and double leverage at the holding company) and liquidity (the nature and availability of funding sources, net non-core funding dependence and quality of deposits). In addition, for publicly traded companies’ stock price movements were reviewed and the market price of publicly traded debt instruments was examined. Based on current market conditions and a review of the trustee reports, management performed an analysis of the four pooled trust preferred securities and no additional impairment was taken at June 30, 2017. A specialist will be used to review all four pooled trust preferred securities again at December 31, 2017.

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

(1) - Default rates > 3 years are evaluated on a issuer by issuer basis and range from 0.25% to 5.00%.

(2) - Recovery assumptions are evaluated on a issuer by issuer basis and range from 0% to 15% with a five year lag.

In the preceding table, the Bancorp’s subordination for each trust preferred security is calculated by taking the total performing collateral and subtracting the sum of the total collateral within the Bancorp’s class and the total collateral within all senior classes, and then stating this result as a percentage of the total performing collateral. This measure is an indicator of the level of collateral that can default before potential cash flow disruptions may occur. In addition, management calculates subordination assuming future collateral defaults by utilizing the default/deferral assumptions in the Bancorp’s other-than-temporary-impairment analysis. Subordination assuming future default/deferral assumptions is calculated by deducting future defaults from the current performing collateral. At June 30, 2017, management reviewed the subordination levels for each security in context of the level of current collateral defaults and deferrals within each security; the potential for additional defaults and deferrals within each security; the length of time that the security has been in “payment in kind” status; and the Bancorp’s class position within each security.

Management calculated the other-than-temporary impairment model assumptions based on the specific collateral underlying each individual security. The following assumption methodology was applied consistently to each of the four pooled trust preferred securities: For collateral that has already defaulted, no recovery was assumed; no cash flows were assumed from collateral currently in deferral, with the exception of the recovery assumptions. The default and recovery assumptions were calculated based on a detailed collateral review. The discount rate assumption used in the calculation of the present value of cash flows is based on the discount margin (i.e., credit spread) at the time each security was purchased using the original purchase price. The discount margin is then added to the appropriate 3-month LIBOR forward rate obtained from the forward LIBOR curve.

At June 30, 2017, three of the trust preferred securities with a cost basis of $3.6 million continue to be in “payment in kind” status. The Bancorp’s securities that are classified as “payment in kind” are a result of not receiving the scheduled quarterly interest payments. For the securities in “payment in kind” status, management anticipates to receive the unpaid contractual interest payments from the issuer, because of the self-correcting cash flow waterfall provisions within the structure of the securities. When a tranche senior to the Bancorp’s position fails the coverage test, the Bancorp’s interest cash flows are paid to the senior tranche and recorded as a reduction of principal. The coverage test represents an over collateralization target by stating the balance of the performing collateral as a percentage of the balance of the Bancorp’s tranche, plus the balance of all senior tranches. The principal reduction in the senior tranche continues until the appropriate coverage test is passed. As a result of the principal reduction in the senior tranche, more cash is available for future payments to the Bancorp’s tranche. Consistent with theInvestments – Debt and Equity Securities Topic, management considered the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest payments in determining whether a credit loss existed. Management will not capitalize the “payment in kind” interest payments to the book value of the securities and will keep these securities in non-accrual status until the quarterly interest payments resume.

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses or loans for which charge-offs have been taken is generally based on a present value of cash flows or, for collateral dependent loans, based on recent real estate appraisals. Appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. The recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $3.0 million and the related specific reserves totaled approximately $791 thousand, resulting in a fair value of impaired loans totaling approximately $2.2 million, at June 30, 2017. The recorded investment of impaired loans was approximately $3.5 million and the related specific reserves totaled approximately $1.2 million, resulting in a fair value of impaired loans totaling approximately $2.3 million, at December 31, 2016. Fair value is determined, where possible, using market prices derived from an appraisal or evaluation, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs. However, certain assumptions and unobservable inputs are often used by the appraiser, therefore, qualifying the assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of foreclosed real estate is similarly determined by using the results of recent real estate appraisals. The numerical range of unobservable inputs for these valuation assumptions is not meaningful to this presentation.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments presented in the preceding table for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Cash and cash equivalents carrying amounts approximate fair value. The fair values of securities available-for-sale are obtained from broker pricing (Level 2), with the exception of collateralized debt obligations, which are valued by a third-party specialist (Level 3). Loans held-for-sale comprise residential mortgages and are priced based on values established by the secondary mortgage markets (Level 1). The estimated fair value for net loans receivable is based on estimates of the rate the Bancorp would charge for similar such loans, applied for the time period until estimated repayment, in addition to appraisals which may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach (Level 3). Federal Home Loan Bank stock is estimated at book value due to restrictions that limit the sale or transfer of the security. Fair value of accrued interest receivable and payable approximates book value, as the carrying values are determined using the observable interest rate, balance, and last payment date.

Non-interest and interest bearing deposits, which include checking, savings, and money market deposits, are estimated to have fair values based on the amount payable as of the reporting date (Level 1). The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit (included in interest bearing deposits) are based on estimates of the rate the Bancorp would pay on similar deposits, applied for the time period until maturity (Level 2). Estimated fair values for short-term repurchase agreements, which represent sweeps from demand deposits to accounts secured by pledged securities, are estimated based on the amount payable as of the reporting date (Level 1). Longer-term repurchase agreements, with contractual maturity dates of three months or more, are based on estimates of the rate the Bancorp would pay on similar deposits, applied for the time period until maturity (Level 2). Short-term borrowings are generally only held overnight, therefore, their carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value (Level 1). The fair value of FHLB Advances (included in borrowed funds) are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using quoted rates from the FHLB for similar advances with similar maturities (Level 2). The estimated fair value of other financial instruments, and off-balance sheet loan commitments, approximate cost and are not considered significant to this presentation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Summary

NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Bancorp”) is a financial holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Peoples Bank SB (“the Bank”), an Indiana savings bank, and NWIN Risk Management, Inc., a captive insurance company, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bancorp. The Bancorp has no other business activity other than being a holding company for the Bank and NWIN Risk Management, Inc.

At June 30, 2017, the Bancorp had total assets of $921.2 million, total loans of $593.9 million and total deposits of $787.0 million. Stockholders' equity totaled $89.3 million or 9.69% of total assets, with a book value per share of $31.18. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, was $2.5 million, or $0.89 earnings per common share for both basic and diluted calculations. For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the return on average assets (ROA) was 1.11%, while the return on average stockholders’ equity (ROE) was 11.30%. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017, was $4.8 million, or $1.69 earnings per common share for both basic and diluted calculations. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the return on average assets (ROA) was 1.07%, while the return on average stockholders’ equity (ROE) was 10.97%.

Financial Condition

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, total assets increased by $7.6 million (0.8%), with interest-earning assets increasing by $9.0 million (1.1%). At June 30, 2017, interest-earning assets totaled $861.3 million compared to $852.2 million at December 31, 2016. Earning assets represented 93.5% of total assets at June 30, 2017 and 93.3% of total assets at December 31, 2016. The increase in total assets and interest earning assets for the six months was the result of internally generated growth.

Net loans receivable totaled $593.9 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $576.0 million at December 31, 2016. The loan portfolio, which is the Bancorp’s largest asset, is the primary source of both interest and fee income. The Bancorp’s lending strategy emphasizes quality loan growth, product diversification, and competitive and profitable pricing.

The Bancorp’s end-of-period loan balances were as follows:

The Bancorp is primarily a portfolio lender. Mortgage banking activities historically have been limited to the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities greater than 15 years. These loans are identified as held for sale when originated and sold, on a loan-by-loan basis, in the secondary market. The Bancorp will also retain fixed rate mortgage loans with a contractual maturity greater than 15 years on a limited basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Bancorp originated $17.6 million in new fixed rate mortgage loans for sale, compared to $18.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net gains realized from the mortgage loan sales totaled $471 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $541 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016. At June 30, 2017, the Bancorp had $2.7 million in loans that were classified as held for sale, compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2016.

The allowance for loan losses (ALL) is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses, and decreased by charge-offs net of recoveries. A loan is charged-off against the allowance by management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur. The determination of the amounts of the ALL and provisions for loan losses is based on management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio with consideration given to all known relevant internal and external factors that affect loan collectability as of the reporting date. The appropriateness of the current period provision and the overall adequacy of the ALL are determined through a disciplined and consistently applied quarterly process that reviews the Bancorp’s current credit risk within the loan portfolio and identifies the required allowance for loan losses given the current risk estimates.

Non-performing loans include those loans that are 90 days or more past due and those loans that have been placed on non-accrual status. Non-performing loans totaled $5.6 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $6.1 million at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $530 thousand or 8.7%. The decrease in non-performing loans for the first six months of 2017 is primarily due to a partial charge-off totaling $829 thousand for twenty-six Investor Owned Residential Real Estate loans. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.93% at June 30, 2017, compared to 1.05% at December 31, 2016. The ratio of non-performing loans to total assets was 0.61% at June 30, 2017, compared to 0.67% at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, all non-performing loans are also accounted for on a non-accrual basis, except for three loans totaling $403 thousand that remained accruing and more than 90 days past due.

Loans internally classified as substandard totaled $5.8 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $6.1 million at December 31, 2016 a decrease of $304 thousand or 5.0%. The decrease in substandard loans is primarily due to a partial charge-off totaling $829 thousand for twenty-six Investor Owned Residential Real Estate loans, a charge-off totaling $290 thousand for three commercial business loans, and one residential real estate loan totaling $272 thousand that was upgraded to watch. The decrease is largely offset by $526 thousand in two commercial business loans, $241 thousand in four commercial real estate loans, and $185 thousand in one home equity loan that was added to the substandard classification. Substandard loans include non-performing loans and potential problem loans, where information about possible credit issues or other conditions causes management to question the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan covenants or repayment terms. No loans were internally classified as doubtful or loss at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. In addition to identifying and monitoring non-performing and other classified loans, management maintains a list of watch loans. Watch loans represent loans management is closely monitoring due to one or more factors that may cause the loan to become classified as substandard. Watch loans totaled $21.3 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of 101.2%. The increase in watch loans is primarily due to the addition of three related commercial real estate loans totaling $10.4 million.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a borrower will be unable to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. At June 30, 2017, impaired loans totaled $3.0 million, compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $542 thousand or 15.4%. The decrease in impaired loans for the first six months of 2017 is primarily due to a partial charge-off totaling $829 thousand for twenty-six Investor Owned Residential Real Estate loans which was offset by the addition of two commercial business loans totaling $526 thousand. The June 30, 2017 impaired loan balances consist of seven commercial real estate loans, ten commercial business loans, and one in-market participation loan, all of which total $1.6 million that are secured by business assets and real estate, and are personally guaranteed by the owners of the businesses. In addition, 78 residential real estate and home equity line of credit loans totaling $1.4 million, which are troubled debt restructurings, purchased credit impaired, or Investor Owned Residential Real Estate have also been classified as impaired. At June 30, 2017 the ALL contained $791 thousand in specific reserves for impaired loans, compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 2016. There were no other loans considered to be impaired loans as of June 30, 2017. Typically, management does not individually classify smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgages or consumer loans, as impaired, unless they are troubled debt restructurings.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date. Purchased loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination are considered purchased credit impaired loans. Expected future cash flows at the purchase date in excess of the fair value of loans are recorded as interest income over the life of the loans if the timing and amount of the future cash flows is reasonably estimable (“accretable yield”). The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable difference and represents probable losses in the portfolio. In determining the acquisition date fair value of purchased credit impaired loans, and in subsequent accounting, the Bancorp aggregates these purchased loans into pools of loans by common risk characteristics, such as credit risk rating and loan type. Subsequent to the purchase date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the purchase date are recognized as interest income prospectively. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. During the second quarter of 2016, initial estimates of fair values related to a pool of Liberty loans were found to be lower than expected. This change led to the addition of $178 thousand to non-accretable discount. At June 30, 2017, purchased credit impaired loans with unpaid principal balances totaled $2.8 million with a recorded investment of $806 thousand.

At June 30, 2017, the Bancorp classified three loans totaling $327 thousand as troubled debt restructurings, which involves modifying the terms of a loan to forego a portion of interest or principal or reducing the interest rate on the loan to a rate materially less than market rates, or materially extending the maturity date of a loan. The Bancorp’s troubled debt restructurings include one accruing residential real estate loan in the amount of $272 thousand for which an extension of amortization and reduction in rate was granted and two accruing commercial business loans totaling $55 thousand for which a reduction in principal payments was granted. The valuation basis for the Bancorp’s troubled debt restructurings is based on the present value of expected future cash flows; unless consistent cash flows are not present, then the fair value of the collateral securing the loan is the basis for valuation.

At June 30, 2017, management is of the opinion that there are no loans, except certain of those discussed above, where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which will imminently result in such loans being classified as past due, non-accrual or a troubled debt restructure. Management does not presently anticipate that any of the non-performing loans or classified loans would materially affect future operations, liquidity or capital resources.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, $557 thousand in provisions to the ALL were required, compared to $584 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $27 thousand or 4.6%. The ALL provision for the current six month period is primarily a result of overall loan portfolio growth. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $1.2 million, compared to charge-offs, net of recoveries of $200 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net charge-offs the first six months of 2017 is primarily due to a partial charge-off totaling $829 thousand for twenty-six Investor Owned Residential Real Estate loans related to previous acquisitions. The net loan charge-offs for the first six months of 2017 were comprised of $903 thousand in residential real estate loans, $26 thousand in consumer loans, $228 thousand in commercial business loans, and $25 thousand in home equity loans. The ALL provisions take into consideration management’s current judgments about the credit quality of the loan portfolio, loan portfolio balances, changes in the portfolio mix and local economic conditions. In determining the provision for loan losses for the current period, management has considered risks associated with the local economy, changes in loan balances and mix, and asset quality.

The ALL-to-total loans was 1.18% at June 30, 2017, compared to 1.32% at December 31, 2016. The ALL-to-non-performing loans (coverage ratio) was 126.9% at June 30, 2017, compared to 126.1% at December 31, 2016. The June 30, 2017 balance in the ALL account of $7.1 million is considered adequate by management after evaluation of the loan portfolio, past experience and current economic and market conditions. While management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loans, the whole allowance is available for any loan charge offs that occur. The allocation of the ALL reflects performance and growth trends within the various loan categories, as well as consideration of the facts and circumstances that affect the repayment of individual loans, and loans which have been pooled as of the evaluation date, with particular attention given to non-performing loans and loans which have been classified as substandard, doubtful or loss. Management has allocated reserves to both performing and non-performing loans based on current information available.

At June 30, 2017, foreclosed real estate totaled $2.2 million, which was comprised of nineteen properties, compared to $2.7 million and twenty-six properties at December 31, 2016. The decrease in foreclosed real estate is the result of the sale of properties. Net gains from the sale of foreclosed real estate totaled $93 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and were the result of proceeds received from the sale of foreclosed properties. At the end of June 2017 all of the Bancorp’s foreclosed real estate is located within its primary market area.

The primary objective of the Bancorp’s investment portfolio is to provide for the liquidity needs of the Bancorp and to contribute to profitability by providing a stable flow of dependable earnings. Funds are generally invested in federal funds, interest bearing balances in other financial institutions, U.S. government securities, federal agency obligations, obligations of state and local municipalities and corporate securities. The securities portfolio, all of which is designated as available-for-sale, totaled $240.7 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $233.6 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $7.1 million (3.0%). The increase in the securities portfolio is a result of continued investment of excess liquidity in securities. At June 30, 2017, the securities portfolio represented 28.1% of interest-earning assets and 26.1% of total assets compared to 27.4% of interest-earning assets and 25.6% of total assets at December 31, 2016.

The net decrease in interest bearing balances in other financial institutions is primarily the result of the seasonality of municipality deposit accounts and a decrease in certificates of deposit. The net increase in fed funds sold is primarily the result of timing of liquidity needs. Federal Home Loan Bank stock corresponds to stock ownership requirements based on borrowing needs.

Deposits are a fundamental and cost-effective source of funds for lending and other investment purposes. The Bancorp offers a variety of products designed to attract and retain customers, with the primary focus on building and expanding relationships.

The Bancorp’s core deposits include checking, savings, and money market accounts. The overall increase in core deposits is a result of management’s sales efforts along with current customer preferences for short-term, liquid investment alternatives.

The Bancorp’s borrowed funds are primarily used to fund asset growth not supported by deposit generation. The Bancorp’s end-of-period borrowing balances were as follows:

Repurchase agreements increased as part of normal account fluctuations within that product line. Borrowed funds decreased as FHLB fixed advances matured and were not replaced.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the Bancorp, liquidity management refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals, and pay dividends and operating expenses. Because profit and liquidity are often conflicting objectives, management attempts to maximize the Bank’s net interest margin by making adequate, but not excessive, liquidity provisions. Furthermore, funds are managed so that future profits will not be significantly impacted as funding costs increase.

Changes in the liquidity position result from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities are generally the cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the determination of net income. The primary investing activities include loan originations, loan repayments, investments in interest bearing balances in other financial institutions, and the purchase, sale, and maturity of investment securities. Financing activities focus almost entirely on the generation of customer deposits. In addition, the Bancorp utilizes borrowings (i.e., repurchase agreements, FHLB advances and federal funds purchased) as a source of funds.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $17.4 million compared to a $19.8 million increase for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The primary sources of cash and cash equivalents were increased deposits, sales of loans originated for sale, and proceeds from maturities, pay downs, calls, and sales of available-for-sale securities. The primary uses of cash and cash equivalents were loan originations, the purchase of securities, and the repayment of FHLB advances. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to cash provided of $9.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily a result of a decrease in clearing accounts that facilitate customer transactions. Cash outflows from investing activities totaled $23.4 million for the current period, compared to cash outflows of $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Cash outflows for the current six months were primarily related to the origination of loans receivable and maturities and pay downs of securities. Net cash inflows from financing activities totaled $1.0 million during the current period compared to net cash inflows of $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The net cash inflows from financing activities was primarily a result of deposits and other borrowed funds. On a cash basis, the Bancorp paid dividends on common stock of $1.60 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $1.54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2017, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled $141.3 million. Approximately 54.3% of the commitments were at variable rates. Standby letters of credit, which are conditional commitments issued by the Bancorp to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party, totaled $8.6 million at June 30, 2017. Management believes that the Bancorp has sufficient cash flow and borrowing capacity to fund all outstanding commitments and letters of credit, while maintaining proper levels of liquidity.

Management strongly believes that maintaining a high level of capital enhances safety and soundness. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, stockholders' equity increased by $5.2 million (6.2%). During the six months ended June 30, 2017, stockholders’ equity was primarily increased by net income of $4.8 million and an increase to net unrealized gains on security sales of $1.9 million. Decreasing stockholders’ equity was the declaration of $1.63 million in cash dividends. On April 24, 2014 the Bancorp’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 50,000 shares of the Bancorp’s outstanding common stock, from time to time and subject to market conditions, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not expire and is only limited by the number of shares that can be purchased. The stock repurchase program will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. No shares were repurchased during the first six months of 2017 or 2016.

The Bancorp is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the FRB), and the Bank is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the FDIC. As applied to the Bancorp and the Bank, the FRB and FDIC capital requirements are substantially the same. These regulations divide capital into multiple tiers. The first tier (Common Equity Tier 1 Capital) includes common shareholders’ equity, after deductions for various items including goodwill and certain other intangible assets, and after certain other adjustments. Common Equity Tier 1 Capital also includes accumulated other comprehensive income (for organizations that do not make opt-out elections). The next tier (Tier 1 Capital) is comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital plus other qualifying capital instruments such as perpetual noncumulative preferred stock and junior subordinated debt issued to trusts, and other adjustments. The third tier (Tier 2 Capital) includes instruments such as subordinated debt that have a minimum original maturity of at least five years and are subordinated to the claims of depositors and general creditors, total capital minority interest not included in Tier 1 Capital, and limited amounts of the allowance for loan losses, less applicable regulatory adjustments and deductions. The Bancorp and the Bank are required to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio of 4.5%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of 6%, and a Total Capital ratio (comprised of Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) of 8%. In addition, the capital regulations provide for a minimum leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted average assets) of 4%.

The Dodd-Frank Act required the FRB to set minimum capital levels for bank holding companies that are as stringent as those required for insured depository subsidiaries. However, under the FRB’s “Small Bank Holding Company” exemption from consolidated bank holding company capital requirements, bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies with less than $1 billion in consolidated assets, such as the Bancorp, are exempt from consolidated regulatory capital requirements, unless the FRB determines otherwise in particular cases.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Bancorp’s and Bank’s regulatory capital ratios continued to be negatively impacted by regulatory requirements regarding collateralized debt obligations. The regulatory requirements state that for collateralized debt obligations that have been downgraded below investment grade by the rating agencies, increased risk based asset weightings are required. The Bancorp currently holds four pooled trust preferred securities with a cost basis of $4.9 million. Three of these investments currently have ratings that are below investment grade. As a result, approximately $18.9 million of risk-based assets are generated by the trust preferred securities in the Bancorp’s and Bank’s total risk based capital calculation.

The following table shows that, at June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Bancorp’s capital exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements. The dollar amounts are in millions.

The Bancorp’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is primarily dependent upon the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Bancorp. Under Indiana law, the Bank may pay dividends from its undivided profits (generally, earnings less losses, bad debts, taxes and other operating expenses) as is considered expedient by the Bank’s Board of Directors. However, the Bank must obtain the approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank during the current year, including the proposed dividend, would exceed the sum of retained net income for the year to date plus its retained net income for the previous two years. For this purpose, “retained net income,” means net income as calculated for call report purposes, less all dividends declared for the applicable period. An exemption from DFI approval would require that the Bank have been assigned a composite uniform financial institutions rating of 1 or 2 as a result of the most recent federal or state examination; the proposed dividend would not result in a Tier 1 leverage ratio below 7.5%; and that the Bank not be subject to any corrective action, supervisory order, supervisory agreement, or board approved operating agreement. The aggregate amount of dividends that may be declared by the Bank in 2017, without the need for qualifying for an exemption or prior DFI approval, is $10.2 million plus 2017 net profits. Moreover, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Board may prohibit the payment of dividends if it determines that the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of the financial condition of the Bank. On May 19, 2017 the Board of Directors of the Bancorp declared a second quarter dividend of $0.29 per share. The Bancorp’s first quarter dividend was paid to shareholders on July 7, 2017.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the Quarter Ended June 30, 2017 to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2016

For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Bancorp reported net income of $2.5 million, compared to net income of $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $287 thousand (12.8%). For the current quarter the ROA was 1.11%, compared to 1.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The ROE was 11.30% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to 10.49% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $7.7 million, an increase of $298 thousand (4.0%), compared to $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was 3.89% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 3.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The weighted-average cost of funds for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and the quarter ended June 30, 2016, was 0.30%. The impact of the 3.89% return on interest earning assets and the 0.30% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of 3.59% for the current quarter, compared to 3.57% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, total interest income increased by $320 thousand (4.0%) while total interest expense increased by $22 thousand (3.7%). The net interest margin was 3.60% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 3.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. On a tax equivalent basis, the Bancorp’s net interest margin was 3.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 3.82% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Comparing the net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis more accurately compares the returns on tax-exempt loans and securities to those on taxable interest-earning assets.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, interest income from loans increased by $237 thousand (3.7%), compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The change was due to an increase in average balances. The weighted-average yield on loans outstanding was 4.42% for the current quarter, compared to 4.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Loan balances averaged $603.5 million for the current quarter, an increase of $22.8 million (3.9%) from $580.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, interest income on securities and other interest bearing balances increased by $83 thousand (5.4%), compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The change was due to an increase in average balances. The weighted-average yield on securities and other interest bearing balances was 2.64%, for the current quarter, compared to 2.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Other interest bearing balances averaged $4.9 million for the current period, up $2.9 million (148.7%) from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in other interest bearing balance averages is a result of the seasonality of municipal deposits.

Interest expense on deposits increased by $57 thousand (12.9%) during the current quarter compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The change was due to an increase in average balances outstanding and an increase in the weighted-average rate paid. The weighted-average rate paid on deposits for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was 0.26% compared to 0.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Total deposit balances averaged $771.3 million for the current quarter, an increase of $49.4 million (6.8%) from $721.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased by $35 thousand (23.2%) during the current quarter due to a decrease in average balances compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.

During the current quarter, fees and service charges totaled $821 thousand, an increase of $105 thousand (14.7%) from $716 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase in fees and service charges is the result of the Bancorp’s growing depository base. Fees from Wealth Management operations totaled $398 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of $36 thousand (8.3%) from $434 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Gains from loan sales totaled $271 thousand for the current quarter, a decrease of $20 thousand (6.9%), compared to $291 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Gains from the sale of securities totaled $252 thousand for the current quarter, an increase of $87 thousand (52.7%) from $165 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Current market conditions continued to provide opportunities to maintain securities cash flows, while recognizing gains from the sales of securities.

During the current quarter, compensation and benefits totaled $3.14 million, an increase of $69 thousand (2.2%) from $3.07 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The increase in compensation and benefits is the result of a continued focus on talent management and retention. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $815 thousand for the current quarter, a decrease of $149 thousand (15.5%), compared to $964 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense is the result of lower building operating expenses. Data processing expense totaled $360 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $22 thousand (6.5%) from $338 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Data processing expense has increased as a result of increased system utilization. Federal deposit insurance premiums expense totaled $81 thousand for the current quarter, a decrease of $50 thousand (38.2%), compared to $131 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Marketing expense totaled $199 thousand for the current quarter, an increase of $69 thousand (53.1%), compared to $130 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The Bancorp proactively markets its products, but varies its timing based on projected benefits and needs. Other expense totaled $1.4 million for the current quarter, an increase of $125 thousand (9.6%), compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. The marginal increase in other operating expenses is related to generally higher cost for procuring goods and services. The Bancorp’s efficiency ratio was 62.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to 65.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The improved efficiency ratio is primarily the result of higher interest income and noninterest income. The ratio is determined by dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and total noninterest income for the period.

Income tax expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 totaled $738 thousand, compared to income tax expense of $658 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $80 thousand (12.2%). The combined effective federal and state tax rates for the Bancorp was 22.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 22.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Bancorp’s lower current quarter effective tax rate is a result of increasing investment in low income housing projects, increasing investment in the Bancorp’s real estate investment trust, as well as a new self-insurance program through a wholly owned captive insurance company.

The weighted-average cost of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2017, was 0.29%, compared to 0.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The impact of the 3.87% return on interest earning assets and the 0.29% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate spread of 3.58% for the current six months, compared to 3.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
