LSB FINANCIAL CORP.
Dear Shareholder:
Good news! In 2005, net income amounted to $3.3 million, resulting in a return on equity of 10.2 percent. The absolute dollar level of earnings - virtually unchanged from 2004 - doesn’t meet our expectations. However, based on events in the fourth quarter, explained in the next paragraph, we felt that prudence required us to address some unanticipated demands on our loan loss reserves. I am especially pleased that the efforts of our management team resulted in an 8.9 percent increase in net interest income and a 12.1 percent increase in noninterest income.
In our market in 2005, residential construction in the market was down 19 percent over the previous year. The unemployment rate in Tippecanoe County, although relatively low nationally at 4.6 percent, is at a 15-year high. Also, Indiana ranks among the nation’s highest in number of bankruptcy filings, and foreclosures were up 14 percent over the previous year. The new bankruptcy law, which went into effect in November, had a significant impact on us. Accordingly, we took a loan loss provision of $1.2 million during the year. We are confident, based on our analysis of the nonperforming loans, that our reserve levels are adequate to cover anticipated losses.
Back to the good news. The price of our stock increased 6.2 percent for the year, closing at $27.60 per share. Also, we delivered our ninth straight year of increasing dividends. For the second consecutive year, we paid a 5.0 percent stock dividend in addition to increasing the cash dividend to $0.64 annually. This represents a 21 percent increase in the cash dividend. Total shareholder return for the year was 14.14 percent.
Our success is recognized by the business community. For the third consecutive year, LSB Financial was named to U.S. Banker magazine's list of top 200 publicly traded community banks. Using our three-year average return on equity as the metric, we ranked 91st in the nation. Additionally, Indianapolis Business Journal named LSB Financial as the 20th best-performing public company headquartered in Indiana. The FDIC’s deposit summary for Tippecanoe County at June 30, 2005, showed that we moved up one place to the number three position in deposit market share. We continue to invest time, expertise, and financial resources in Greater Lafayette, and we receive business and goodwill in return.
Looking ahead, the board of directors is committed to increasing shareholder value. The employees of Lafayette Savings Bank are dedicated to “exceeding expectations everyday.” We, as your management team, are anticipating the coming opportunities and challenges. Thank you for your continued support as we grow our company.
Respectfully,
Randolph F. WilliamsPresident & Chief Executive Officer

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Executive Overview
General
LSB Financial Corp., an Indiana corporation (“LSB Financial” or the “Company”), is the holding company of Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB (“Lafayette Savings” or the “Bank”). LSB Financial has no separate operations and its business consists only of the business of Lafayette Savings. References in this Annual Report to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to LSB Financial and/or Lafayette Savings as the context requires.
Lafayette Savings is and intends to continue to be, an independent, community-oriented financial institution. The Bank has been in business for 136 years and differs from many of our competitors in having a local board and local decision-making in all areas of business. In general our business consists of attracting deposits and lending that money out primarily as real estate loans to construct and purchase single-family residential properties, and to a lesser extent, multi-family and commercial properties and to fund land development projects. We also make a limited number of commercial business and consumer loans.
We have an experienced and committed staff and enjoy a good reputation for understanding the people of the community and their financial needs and for finding a way to meet those needs. We contribute time and money to improve the quality of life in our market area and many of our employees volunteer for local non-profit agencies. We believe this sets us apart from the other 18 banks and credit unions who compete with us. We also believe that the fact that we have kept the same name and remained independent over 136 years is a benefit to us—especially now, as acquisitions and consolidations of local financial institutions continue. Focusing time and additional marketing dollars on customers of these acquired institutions who may be feeling disenfranchised by their no-longer-local bank proved to be a successful strategy.
The greater Lafayette area enjoys diverse employment including major manufacturers such as Subaru, Caterpillar, Wabash National and Greater Lafayette Health Services; a strong education sector with Purdue University and a large local campus of Ivy Tech Community College; government offices of Lafayette, West Lafayette and Tippecanoe County and a growing high-tech presence with the Purdue Research Park. In the past this diversity insulated us from economic downturns but the slowdowns of the last few years had a noticeable effect on the area. While the unemployment situation continues to slowly improve, we have a number of borrowers who have fallen substantially behind on their loans. The majority of these loans are secured by real estate and we believe we have sufficient reserves to cover probable losses. The challenge is to get delinquent borrowers back on a working payment schedule or to get control of their properties through an overburdened court system.
The funds used to make loans come primarily from deposits from customers in our market area, from brokered deposits and from Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”)advances. In addition we maintain an investment portfolio of available-for-sale securities to provide liquidity
as needed. Our intention is to seek out the least expensive source of funds but if the need is immediate we will acquire pre-payable FHLB advances which can be replaced with local or brokered deposits as they become available. Our reliance on brokered deposits increased in 2004 and at December 2005 represented 25.2% of total deposits. We find the rates to be competitive with the cost of raising money locally, the deposits are available with a range of terms and the money is completely predictable as the money cannot be withdrawn early except in the case of the death of the depositor and there is no option to have the money rollover at maturity. While we always welcome local deposits, the cost and convenience of brokered funds make them a useful alternative. We will continue to rely on Federal Home Loan Bank advances to provide immediate liquidity and also to help manage interest rate risk.
Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest expense incurred on deposits and borrowings. Our net interest income depends on the balance of our loan and investment portfolios and the size of our net interest margin—the difference between the income generated from loans and the cost of the funding. A major area of concern in the growth of net interest income is the continuing flattening and inversion of the yield curve. Short-term rates increased steadily over 2004 and 2005 while long-term rates have remained comparatively flat. Because deposits are generally tied to shorter-term market rates, and loans are generally tied to longer-term rates, the shrinking spread between the two has made it more difficult to maintain desired operating income levels. Our expectation for 2006 is that short-term rates will continue to rise as the Federal Reserve Board responds to inflation concerns and the growing strength of the economy. Long-term rates have remained low because the purchase of U.S. government bonds has driven up the price of long-term bonds and kept their returns low. Until this situation changes we expect the yield curve to remain flat or inverted.
Rate changes could be expected to have an impact on interest income. Rising rates generally increase borrower preference for variable rate products which we typically keep in our portfolio. Additionally, existing adjustable rate loans can be expected to reprice to higher rates, both of which could be expected to have a favorable impact on interest income. Alternatively, continuing low interest rates could have a negative impact on our interest income as new loans are put on the books at comparatively low rates and our existing adjustable rate loans reprice to lower rates. Even if rates do fall, because so many borrowers refinanced their mortgages in the last few years, we do not expect to see a return to a high volume of refinancing. However, low rates may be expected to encourage borrowers to initiate additional real estate related purchases.
Our primary expense is interest on deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances which are used to fund loan growth. We offer customers in our market area time deposits for terms ranging from three months to five years, checking accounts and savings accounts. We also purchase brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances as needed to provide funding or to improve our interest rate risk position. Generally when interest rates are low, depositors will choose shorter-term products and conversely when rates are high, depositors will choose longer-term products.
We consider expected changes in interest rates when structuring our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities. When rates are expected to increase we try to book
shorter-term assets that will reprice relatively quickly to higher rates over time, and book longer-term liabilities that will remain for a longer time at lower rates. Conversely, when rates are expected to fall, we would like our balance sheet to be structured such that loans will reprice more slowly to lower rates and deposits will reprice more quickly. We currently offer a three-year and a five-year certificate of deposit that allows depositors one opportunity to have their rate adjusted to the market rate at a future date to encourage them to choose longer-term deposit products. However since we are not able to predict market interest rate fluctuations, our asset-liability management strategy may not prevent interest rate changes from having an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our results of operations may also be affected by general and local competitive conditions, particularly those with respect to changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
2005 Summary
Our strategy in 2005 included loan portfolio growth, progress in dealing with non-performing loans, controlling the cost of funds, and growth in other income.
Part of our strategy was to increase the size of our loan portfolio in 2005 by taking advantage of the changing interest rate environment and the unprecedented merger and acquisition activity in the greater Lafayette area. The slight increase in mortgage interest rates was sufficient to shift borrowers’ preference to adjustable rate products which we keep in our portfolio. We increased our average balance in our loan portfolio by $27.1 million in 2005 and increased interest income on loans by $2.2 million. Part of the increase in interest income on loans was also due to the upward repricing of adjustable rate mortgages. We sold $19.2 million of fixed rate loans originated in 2005 for a gain of $322,000.
We were able to decrease the average rate paid on Federal Home Loan Bank advances by 22 basis points as higher-rate, longer-term advances were replaced with lower-rate medium-term advances and short-term, prepayable advances. The average rate on our deposits increased by 33 basis points as a result of our depositors’ preference for short-to medium-term deposits because of their assumption that rates would continue to rise. Because short-term rates did indeed rise, many of these deposits repriced to higher rates.
The slowdown in the economy for the last few years caused an increase in delinquencies, foreclosures and bankruptcies. Because of the change in the bankruptcy law we saw filings by our borrowers increase from 14 for the first eight months of the year to 18 in September and October alone. We conduct ongoing assessments of these situations, and in 2005 our analysis led us to allocate reserves at a higher level, increasing from $500,000 in 2004 to $1.2 million in 2005. We added an additional $450,000 to our loan loss reserves at December 31, 2005, bringing the total allocation in the fourth quarter to $725,000. A total of $328,000 was allocated to a single borrower where we have concerns about the borrower’s liquidity. In addition, the number of bankruptcy filings received by the Bank increased in the fourth quarter prior to the new bankruptcy law taking effect in October 2005. We charged $492,000 against loan loss reserves on 29 loans either written off or taken into other real estate owned. The increased
provision during 2005 was necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio and cover anticipated charge-offs. The Office of Thrift Supervision, which recently completed an examination of the Bank, also concluded that increased reserves are appropriate. While our delinquencies are still higher than we would like, based on our analysis we believe we have sufficient reserves to cover inherent losses.
Other non-interest income, excluding the gain on sale of loans, increased by $540,000, primarily from a $534,000 increase in service charges and fees on deposit accounts resulting from the introduction of a program that allows qualified customers to overdraw their account by up to $500. The Bank agrees to cover the check and the customer pays a fee for the service.
Other non-interest expense increased $557,000, primarily because of a $330,000 increase in other expenses due to preparations for Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance and expenses on foreclosed properties and properties held in other real estate owned.
2006 Overview
We expect that in 2006 most of the loans we originate will remain in our portfolio because of a continuing customer preference for adjustable rate products. While we do not expect long-term rates to rise substantially, we do expect the Federal Reserve to continue to increase short-term rates with the overall effect being a slowing in the demand for loans from levels seen in 2005.
Our operating results will also continue to be affected by several factors involving the disposition of properties in foreclosure or held in other real estate owned, including the level of the provision for loan losses, gains and losses on the sale of properties once we acquire title to them, and non-interest expenses incurred in obtaining, marketing and disposing of the properties. In 2006 we expect to dispose of a significant percentage of properties securing loans that are currently non-performing. We monitor these and all other loans in our loan portfolio carefully and perform specific impairment analyses on any loans over 90 days delinquent. Based on our analysis, we believe that our current loan loss reserve is sufficient to cover probable losses.
Other challenges facing the Bank in 2006 include the implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 dealing with internal controls over financial reporting. Because of the change in implementation dates and the continuing discussion as to how the rules will be applied to companies our size, much of the work involved in complying with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 was delayed while awaiting guidance from the SEC. We expect and intend to devote considerable resources to this process in 2006. We have hired a consulting firm to assist in the design of a program and have dedicated a staff member to working through the process of establishing, documenting and testing controls. We expect the cost of implementing this regulation to be less than $100,000 this year, although the exact amount depends on the final guidance issued by the regulators.
Significant external factors impacting our results of operations include the general economic environment, changes in the level of market interest rates, government policies,
actions by regulatory authorities and competition. Our cost of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for real estate loans and other types of loans, which are in turn affected by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions affecting loan demand and the availability of funds for lending activities.
We intend to continue to follow a strategy for growth that includes (1) maintaining a strong capital position, (2) managing our vulnerability to changes in interest rates by emphasizing adjustable-rate and/or shorter-term loans, (3) optimizing our net interest margin by supplementing our traditional residential mortgage lending with multi-family and commercial real estate, consumer and construction loans, (4) expanding commercial business lending, and (5) funding our growth by using longer-term deposits and advances when possible.
The results of our business strategy in 2005 may be illustrated as follows: | One- to four-family loans (including loans held for sale) decreased by 2.4%, from $140.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $137.0 million at December 31, 2005. |
| All other real estate loans, net, including multi-family, land and land development, construction and commercial real estate loans increased by 9.2%, from $146.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $160.0 million at December 31, 2005. |
| Commercial business lending increased by 27.8%, from $15.8 million at December 31, 2004, to $20.2 million at December 31, 2005. |
| At December 31, 2005, 75.29% of our gross loan portfolio had adjustable interest rates. |
| Total deposit accounts increased from $256.6 million at December 31, 2004 to $266.0 million at December 31, 2005, with core deposits decreasing from $83.2 million to $77.1 million over the same period. |
Critical Accounting Policies
Generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgments to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management of LSB Financial Corp. must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. For a complete discussion of LSB Financial Corp.'s significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2005. Certain policies are considered critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of LSB Financial Corp.'s Board of Directors. These policies include the following:
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable losses inherent in Lafayette Savings' loan portfolios. In determining the appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses, management makes numerous assumptions, estimates and assessments.
The strategy also emphasizes diversification on an industry and customer level, regular credit quality reviews and quarterly management reviews of large credit exposures and loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality.
Lafayette Savings' allowance consists of three components: probable losses estimated from individual reviews of specific loans, probable losses estimated from historical loss rates, and probable losses resulting from economic or other deterioration above and beyond what is reflected in the first two components of the allowance.
Larger commercial loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses and all loans that are rated substandard or lower are subject to individual review. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management's estimate of the borrower's ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the Bank. Included in the review of individual loans are those that are impaired as provided in SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Any allowances for impaired loans are determined by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or fair value of the underlying collateral. Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific reserve allocations.
Homogenous smaller balance loans, such as consumer installment and residential mortgage loans are not individually risk graded. Reserves are established for each pool of loans based on the expected net charge-offs for one year. Loss rates are based on the average net charge-off history by loan category.
Historical loss rates for commercial and consumer loans may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management's judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition. Factors which management considers in the analysis include the effects of the national and local economies, trends in the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs and nonaccrual loans), changes in mix, asset quality trends, risk management and loan administration, changes in the internal lending policies and credit standards, collection practices and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and the Bank's internal loan review.
An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring loss when evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of loans. Allowances on individual loans are reviewed quarterly and historical loss rates are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions and actual collection and charge-off experience.
Lafayette Savings' primary market area for lending is Tippecanoe County, Indiana. When
evaluating the adequacy of allowance, consideration is given to this regional geographic concentration and the closely associated effect of changing economic conditions on Lafayette Savings' customers.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The value of the capitalized servicing rights represents the present value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans in the portfolio. Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests. The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance. Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans. The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, the servicing rights are compared to a valuation prepared based on a discounted cash flow methodology, utilizing current prepayment speeds and discount rates. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of intangible assets.

Referring to the chart above, the net balance in our loan portfolio increased by $12.0 million from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005. The decrease in residential mortgage loans is primarily due to the run-off in fixed rate mortgage loans and the increased competition to originate residential mortgage loans with 377 entities having originated residential loans in the Tippecanoe County Metropolitan Statistical Area in 2004 according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) report based on Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) information they collected. The increase in other real estate loans, which includes multi-family, land and land development, construction and commercial real estate loans was primarily from local lending and the result of a successful commercial loan contact program. Participation loans decreased slightly over the twelve month period. We typically participate in loans with banks in our market area or with which we have an established relationship. The loans are underwritten using the same criteria as for loans we originate internally. Generally the participations are designed to keep the lead bank within regulatory limits for loans to one borrower.
Comparing the loan sales in 2005 with that of the prior year, we sold fixed rate loans with servicing rights retained totaling $29.0 million in 2004 and $19.2 million in 2005. These sales of primarily 15- to 30-year fixed rate loans were sold on the secondary market based upon asset/liability management considerations. See “Asset/Liability Management.” Adjustable rate loans were retained in our loan portfolio.
The $4.5 million increase in our securities and short-term investments was done to replenish short-term investments used for day-to-day liquidity needs and maintain a laddered security portfolio for longer-term liquidity purposes. We monitor cash in-clearings and outflows on a daily basis to maximize to avoid having a surplus of cash on a day-to-day basis.
Deposit balances increased by $9.4 million from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005. This increase was due primarily to the increase in brokered deposits, desirable because of their competitive cost, their availability and their predictability. This increase was offset by a decrease in other deposits, primarily from our money market accounts as depositors look for higher rates in other types of investments.
We utilize advances available through the Federal Home Loan Bank to provide additional funding for loan growth as well as for asset/liability management purposes. At December 31, 2005, we had $72.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding. Based on the collateral we currently have listed under a blanket collateral arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank we could borrow up to $8.1 million in additional advances. We have other collateral available if needed.
These advances are generally available on the same day as requested and allow us the flexibility of keeping our daily cash balances lower than we otherwise might.
Non-performing assets, which include non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days past due and foreclosed assets, increased from $5.9 million at December 31, 2004 to $10.6 million at December 31, 2005. Non-performing assets at December 31, 2005 consisted of $7.7 million of loans on residential real estate, $2.8 million of loans on land or commercial property, $8,000 of commercial business loans and $7,000 of non-accruing consumer loans. Non-performing assets also include $2.0 million foreclosed assets. At December 31, 2005, our allowance for loan losses equaled 0.85% of total loans (including loans held for sale) compared to 0.65% at December 31, 2004. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2005 totaled 27.00% of nonperforming assets compared to 35.51% at December 31, 2004, and 33.32% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2005 compared to 44.66% at December 31, 2004. Our non-performing assets equaled 2.83% of total assets at December 31, 2005 compared to 1.67% at December 31, 2004.
Non-performing assets at December 31, 2005 included $6.9 million in loans that were in litigation in addition to foreclosed assets. When a non-performing loan is added to our classified loan list, an impairment analysis is completed to determine expected losses upon final disposition of the property. This analysis is updated quarterly. An adjustment to loan loss reserves is made at that time for any anticipated losses.
We added an additional $450,000 to our loan loss reserves at December 31, 2005, bringing the total allocation in the fourth quarter to $725,000. A total of $328,000 was allocated to a single borrower where we have concerns about the borrower’s liquidity. Because Indiana has the second largest number of bankruptcies in the nation, the court systems frequently have backlogs in scheduling loan hearings. It may take up to two years for a loan to move through the system to the point where we can obtain title to and dispose of a property. In addition, the number of bankruptcy filings received by the Bank increased in the fourth quarter prior to the new bankruptcy law taking effect in October 2005. Consequently, although the non-performing loan balance remains high, we believe our allowance to be adequate to cover any losses upon the final disposition of these loans.
We made significant progress in obtaining title to foreclosed properties in the final quarter of 2005. We also received an agreement to obtain deeds-in-lieu-of-foreclosure on 29 rental properties from a borrower not previously delinquent or identified as being of concern. As a result, non-performing assets totaling $492,000 were charged off in 2005. This along with an increase in the unemployment rate and in bankruptcy filings resulted in an increased allocation to loan loss reserves in the fourth quarter. Although we believe we use the best information available to determine the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, and net income could be significantly affected, if circumstances and/or economic conditions cause substantial changes in the estimates we use in making the determinations about the levels of the allowance for losses. Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require the recognition of additions to the allowance based upon their judgments of information available at the time of their examination. The Office of
Thrift Supervision, which recently completed an examination of the Bank, also concluded that increased reserves are appropriate.
Shareholders’ equity increased $2.4 million, or 7.99%, during 2005 primarily as a result of net income of $3.3 million, partially offset by our payment of dividends on common stock and the repurchase of 32,087 shares of our stock as part of a stock repurchase plan. Shareholders’ equity to total assets was 8.81% at December 31, 2005 compared to 8.56% at December 31, 2004.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations depend primarily on the levels of net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on loans and securities and other interest earning assets, and the interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds. Our results of operation are also dependent upon the level of our non-interest income including fee income and service charges, gains or losses on the sale of loans and the level of our non-interest expenses, including general and administrative expenses. Net interest income is dependent upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and upon the interest rate which is earned or paid on these items. Our results of operations are also affected by the level of the provision for loan losses. We, like other financial institutions, are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than our interest-earning assets.
Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields
The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest income earned on average interest- earning assets and the resultant yields on such assets, as well as the interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the rates paid on such liabilities. No tax equivalent adjustments were made. All average balances are monthly average balances. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income
The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The change in total interest income and total interest expense is allocated between those related to changes in the outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and change due to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004.
General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $3.3 million, virtually unchanged from net income for the year ended December 31, 2004. While net interest income increased $964,000 in 2005 compared to 2004, and non-interest income increased by $269,000, these increases were largely offset by a $700,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $557,000 increase in non-interest expenses.
Our return on average assets was 0.89% for the year ended 2005, compared to 0.95% for the year ended 2004. Return on equity was 10.21% for the year ended 2005,
compared to 11.19% for 2004. During 2005 we paid regular quarterly cash dividends on common stock totaling $941,000 for the year, or $.64 per share, representing a dividend payout ratio, dividends declared per share divided by diluted net income per share, of approximately 29%.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $964,000 over the same period in 2004. Our net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) increased from 3.32% at December 31, 2004 to 3.36% at December 31, 2005. Many of our adjustable rate mortgages started adjusting upwards in 2005, although the flat yield curve because of continuing low long-term rates is expected to keep the return on fixed rate mortgages fairly flat. Interest expenses on deposits, primarily on time accounts, increased as expected since many of these deposits are tied to rising shorter-term market interest rates. The majority of our longer-term deposits had already rolled down to lower rates and are likely to remain at that level until longer-term market rates begin to increase. Rates on borrowings decreased slightly in 2005, but may be expected to increase as interest rates climb generally.
Interest income on loans increased $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. The average volume of loans in our portfolio increased by $27.1 million while the average yield increased from 6.18% for the year ended December 31, 2004 to 6.34% for the year ended December 31, 2005. We expect to see somewhat slower growth in our loan portfolio in 2006 with higher mortgage interest rates, a slightly weaker local economy and concern that segments of the economy may be overbuilt. We expect moderate growth in our commercial and multi-family real estate, commercial business and home equity loan production as a result of our call program and the increased capacity of our commercial loan back office. It is also our intention to keep some of our shorter-term fixed rate residential mortgages in our portfolio. There was also an increase in interest income on investments as we increased the size of that portfolio, and replaced maturing investments with higher yielding products.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $1.3 million over the same period in 2004. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 2.69% in 2004 to 2.89% in 2005, reflecting the generally higher interest rates over the period, and by an increase of $21.6 million in average interest-bearing liabilities. Specifically, the higher interest expense was primarily caused by a $1.3 million increase in interest on time accounts from an increase in average balance of $19.3 million and an increase in average rate from 2.94% to 3.33%. This higher expense was offset slightly by a $27,000 decrease in the cost of Federal Home Loan Bank advances resulting primarily from a 24 basis point decrease in the average rate offset by a $2.9 million increase in the average balance.
Provision for Loan Losses. We establish our provision for loan losses based on a systematic analysis of risk factors in the loan portfolio. The analysis includes consideration of concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current economic
conditions, the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, delinquencies and other relevant factors. From time to time, we also use the services of a consultant to assist in the evaluation of our growing commercial real estate loan portfolio. On at least a quarterly basis, a formal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance is prepared and reviewed by management and the Board of Directors. This analysis serves as a point in time assessment of the level of the allowance and serves as a basis for provisions for loan losses.
More specifically, our analysis of the loan portfolio will begin at the time the loan is originated, at which time each loan is assigned a risk rating. If the loan is a commercial credit, the borrower will also be assigned a similar rating. Loans that continue to perform as agreed will be included in one of ten non-classified loan categories. Portions of the allowance are allocated to loan portfolios in the various risk grades, based upon a variety of factors including, historical loss experience, trends in the type and volume of the loan portfolios, trends in delinquent and non-performing loans, and economic trends affecting our market. Loans no longer performing as agreed are assigned a higher risk rating, eventually resulting in their being regarded as classified loans. A collateral re-evaluation is completed on all classified loans. This process results in the allocation of specific amounts of the allowance to individual problem loans, generally based on an analysis of the collateral securing those loans. These components are added together and compared to the balance of our allowance at the evaluation date.
Non-classified loan categories include first mortgage loans on the following types of properties: one- to four-family owner occupied, one- to four-family non-owner occupied, multi-family, non-residential, land and land development, and construction. Additional categories include: second mortgage and home equity loans, unsecured commercial business loans, secured commercial business loans, and consumer loans.
We recorded a $1.2 million provision for loan losses during 2005 as a result of our analysis of our current loan portfolios, compared to $500,000 during 2004. We added an additional $450,000 to our loan loss reserves at December 31, 2005, bringing the total allocation in the fourth quarter to $725,000. A total of $328,000 was allocated to a single borrower where we have concerns about the borrower’s liquidity. The increased provision during 2005 was necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio and cover anticipated charge-offs. The Office of Thrift Supervision, which recently completed an examination of the Bank, also concluded that increased reserves are appropriate. The increase in bankruptcy filings in the fourth quarter prior to the change in the bankruptcy laws in October 2005, the increase in unemployment rates in Tippecanoe County and the adverse effect of increased property tax assessments are all indications of a slowdown in the local economy. During the year 2005, we charged $492,000 against loan loss reserves on 29 loans either written off or taken into other real estate owned. We expect to obtain possession of many properties in 2006 that are currently in the process of foreclosure. The final disposition of these properties may be expected to result in a loss in some cases. The $1.2 million provision for loan losses in 2005 was considered adequate to cover further charge-offs based on our evaluation and our loan mix.
At December 31, 2005 non-performing assets, consisting of non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 or more days delinquent and other real estate owned, totaled $10.6 million compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2004. In addition to our non-performing assets, we identified $2.0 million other loans of concern where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such loans as non-performing assets in the future. The vast majority of these loans, as well as our non-performing assets, are well collateralized.
At December 31, 2005, we believe that our allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb estimated probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Our allowance for losses equaled 0.85% of net loans receivable and 27.00% of non-performing assets at December 31, 2005 compared to 0.65% and 35.38% at December 31, 2004, respectively.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased by $269,000 or 12.01% compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily due to a $534,000 increase in fees on deposit accounts largely the result of the introduction of our Courtesy Coverage Program that allows qualified customers to overdraw their checking account by up to $500 for a $30 per overdraft fee. The increase was partially offset by a $271,000 decrease in gains on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market due to a $9.8 million decrease in loans sold.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased $557,000 over the same period in 2004. The major components of this increase included a $135,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits due primarily to increased compliance staffing and increased health insurance costs, and a $330,000 increase in other expenses including costs of maintaining foreclosed properties and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs.
Income Tax Expense. The Company’s income tax provision decreased by $28,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily as a result of tax savings relating to our Bank Owned Life Insurance program and increased lending in an area in Lafayette designated as an urban enterprise zone, qualifying for enterprise zone tax credits.
Financial Condition at December 31, 2004 compared to Financial Condition at December 31, 2003.
The balance of our net loan portfolio increased by $41.4 million from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. The growth in residential mortgage loans is primarily due to the increased borrower interest in adjustable rate mortgage loans, which we keep in our portfolio. The increase in other real estate loans, which includes multi-family, land and land development, construction and commercial real estate loans, was augmented by a $6.8 million increase in participation loans. We typically participate in loans with banks in our market area or with which we have an established relationship. The loans
are underwritten using the same criteria as for loans we originate internally. Generally the participations are designed to keep the lead bank within regulatory limits for loans to one borrower. In 2004, we also hired another commercial loan officer with experience in commercial business loans, which accounts for the increase in those loans.
Comparing the loan sales in 2004 with that of prior years, we sold fixed rate loans with servicing rights retained totaling $53.1 million in 2002 and $113.4 million in 2003, compared with $29.0 million in 2004. These 15- to 30-year fixed rate loans were sold on the secondary market based upon asset/liability management considerations. See “Asset/ Liability Management.” Adjustable rate loans were retained in our loan portfolio.
The $6.8 million decrease in our securities and short-term investments was done to minimize low interest earning short-term investments used for day-to-day liquidity needs while maintaining a laddered security portfolio for longer-term liquidity purposes. We monitor cash in-clearings and outflows on a daily basis to maximize to avoid having a surplus of cash on a day-to-day basis.
Deposit balances increased by $31.1 million from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. This increase was due primarily to the increase in brokered deposits, desirable because of their competitive cost, their availability and their predictability; and by an increase in core deposits, including a $3.7 million increase in our Money Market Deposit Account as depositors were attracted to the comparatively higher rates combined with the access available with a money market account, a $1.9 million increase in non-interest earning deposit accounts largely tied to our commercial lending relationships, and a $1.0 million increase in DDA accounts.
We utilize advances available through the Federal Home Loan Bank to provide additional funding for loan growth as well as for asset/liability management purposes. At December 31, 2004, we had $66.8 million in FHLB advances outstanding. Based on the collateral we currently have listed under a blanket collateral arrangement with the Federal Home Loan Bank we could borrow up to $16.3 million in additional advances. Other collateral is available if needed. These advances are available on the same day requested and allow us the flexibility of keeping our daily cash balances lower than we otherwise might.
Non-performing assets, which include non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days past due and foreclosed assets, increased from $4.6 million at December 31, 2003 to $5.9 million at December 31, 2004. Non-performing loans at December 31, 2004 consisted of $3.3 million of loans on residential real estate, $1.1 million of loans on land or commercial property, $262,000 of commercial business loans and $34,000 of non-accruing consumer loans. Non-performing assets also include $1.2 million foreclosed assets. At December 31, 2004, our allowance for loan losses equaled 0.65% of total loans (including loans held for sale) compared to 1.10% at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2004 totaled 35.38% of nonperforming assets compared to 67.55% at December 31, 2003, and 44.66% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2004 compared to 72.96% at December 31, 2003. Our non-performing
assets equaled 1.67% of total assets at December 31, 2004 compared to 1.44% at December 31, 2003.
Non-performing assets at December 31, 2004 included $3.4 million in loans that were in litigation. Because Indiana has the second largest number of bankruptcies in the nation, the court systems frequently have backlogs in scheduling loan hearings. It may take up to two years for a loan to move through the system to the point where we can obtain title to and dispose of a property. When a non-performing loan is added to our classified loan list, an impairment analysis is completed to determine expected losses upon final disposition of the property. This analysis is updated quarterly. An adjustment to loan loss reserves is made at that time for any anticipated losses. Consequently, although the non-performing loan balance remains high, we believe our allowance to be adequate to cover any losses upon the final disposition of these loans.
Non-performing assets totaling $1.5 million were charged off in 2004. These charge-offs were largely covered by existing reserves and, based on management’s analysis, no additional provisions to the allowance were necessary for the amounts charged off.
Shareholders’ equity increased $2.7 million, or 9.62%, during 2004 primarily as a result of net income of $3.3 million, partially offset by our payment of dividends on common stock and the repurchase of 6,300 shares of our stock as part of a stock repurchase plan. Shareholders’ equity to total assets was 8.56% at December 31, 2004 compared to 8.68% at December 31, 2003.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.
General. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $3.3 million, an increase of $315,000 over net income for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to a $329,000 increase in net interest income, a $725,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $188,000 decrease in non-interest expenses partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in the gain on sale of mortgage loans.
Our return on average assets was 0.95% for the year ended 2004, compared to 0.94% for the year ended 2003. Return on equity was 11.19% for the year ended 2004, compared to 11.03% for 2003. During 2004 we paid regular quarterly cash dividends on common stock totaling $801,000 for the year, or $.56 per share, representing a dividend payout ratio, dividends declared per share divided by diluted net income per share, of approximately 25%.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004 increased $329,000 over the same period in 2003. Our net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) decreased from 3.50% where it had been at both December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 to 3.32% at December 31, 2004.
Interest income on loans increased $434,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ended December 31, 2003. Although the average volume of loans in our portfolio increased by $35.6 million from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004, the continuing low market rates resulted in lower rates for both new loans and on the adjustments for variable rate mortgages resulting in a decrease in the yield on loans from 6.84% for the year ended December 31, 2003 to 6.18% for the year ended December 31, 2004. There was also a decrease in interest income on investments as we decreased the size of that portfolio, taking advantage of the opportunity to invest that money in higher yielding mortgages.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased $113,000 over the same period in 2003. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities from 2.98% in 2003 to 2.69% in 2004, reflecting the generally lower interest rates over the period, partially offset by an increase of $26.0 million in average interest-bearing liabilities. The higher interest expense of $152,000 on the average balance of customer deposit accounts was primarily due to the $18.5 million increase in the average balance in time accounts offset somewhat by a 28 basis point decrease in the average yield. This higher expense was offset by a $265,000 decrease in the cost of Federal Home Loan Bank advances resulting primarily from a 66 basis point decrease in the average rate.
Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a $500,000 provision for loan losses during 2004 as a result of our analysis of our current loan portfolios compared to $1.2 million during 2003. The increased provision during 2003 was necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio and cover anticipated charge-offs. During the year 2004 we recorded charge-offs of $1.5 million. The $500,000 provision for loan losses in 2004 was considered adequate to cover further charge-offs based on our evaluation and our loan mix.
At December 31, 2004, non-performing assets, consisting of non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 or more days delinquent and other real estate owned, totaled $5.9 million compared to $4.6 million at December 31, 2003. In addition to our non-performing assets, we identified $9.8 million of other loans of concern where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such loans as non-performing assets in the future. The vast majority of these loans, as well as our non-performing assets, are well collateralized.
At December 31, 2004, we believe that our allowance for loan losses was adequate to absorb estimated probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Our allowance for losses equaled 0.65% of net loans receivable and 35.38% of non-performing assets at December 31, 2004 compared to 1.12% and 67.57% at December 31, 2003, respectively.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased by $1.1 million, or 32.26% compared to the same period in 2003. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in gains on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market due to a $84.8 million decrease in loans sold. The increase in loan sales in 2003 was due to the increased mortgage refinance activity as borrowers sought to lock in lower-rate, fixed-rate mortgages. For interest rate risk reasons we sell fixed-rate residential mortgages on the secondary market. The decrease in gains on loan sales was partially offset by a $69,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts and a $70,000 increase in other non-interest income, primarily the result of an increase in the value of our Bank Owned Life Insurance.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004 decreased $188,000 over the same period in 2003. The major components of this decrease included a $186,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits partly due to the decreased lending activity, and to the termination of an incentive program.
Income Tax Expense. The Company’s income tax provision decreased by $140,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to the year ended December 31, 2003 primarily as a result of tax savings relating to our Bank Owned Life Insurance program and increased lending in an area in Lafayette designated as an urban enterprise zone, qualifying for enterprise zone tax credits.
Asset/Liability Management
We, like other financial institutions, are subject to interest rate risk to the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities reprice on a different basis than our interest-earning assets. The Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), our primary regulator, supports the use of a net portfolio value (“NPV”) approach to the quantification of interest rate risk. In essence, this approach calculates the difference between the present value of expected cash flows from assets and the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities, as well as cash flows from off-balance-sheet contracts. An NPV ratio, in any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPV in that rate scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario—essentially a market value adjusted capital ratio.
It has been and continues to be a priority of the Board of Directors and management to manage interest rate risk to maintain an acceptable level of potential changes to interest income as a result of interest rate changes. Our asset/liability policy, established by the Board of Directors, sets forth acceptable limits on the amount of change in net portfolio value given certain changes in interest rates. We have an asset/liability management committee which meets quarterly to review our interest rate position, and an investment committee which reviews the interest rate risk position and other related matters with the Board of Directors, and makes recommendations for adjusting this position to the full Board of Directors. In addition, the investment committee of the Board of Directors meets semi-annually with our outside investment advisors to review our investment portfolio and strategies relating to interest rate risk.
Specific strategies have included the sale of long-term, fixed rate loans to reduce the average maturity of our interest-earning assets and the use of Federal Home Loan Bank advances to lengthen the effective maturity of our interest-bearing liabilities. In the future, our community banking emphasis, including the origination of commercial business loans, is intended to further increase our portfolio of short-term and/or adjustable rate loans.
Presented below, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, is an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the effect on NPV caused by instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve, in 100 basis point increments, up and down 300 basis points, and compared to our Board policy limits. (One hundred basis points equals one percent.) The Board Limit column indicates the lowest allowable limits for NPV after each interest rate shock. Assumptions used in calculating the amounts in this table are OTS assumptions. No information is provided for a negative 300 basis point shift in interest rates, due to a low prevailing interest rate environment making such scenarios unlikely.
Change in | | Board Limit | | At December 31, 2005 | | At December 31, 2004 |
Interest Rate | | Post-shock | | Post-shock | | Change | | Post-shock | | Change |
(Basis Points) | | NPV Ratio | | NPV Ratio | | (Basis Points) | | NPV Ratio | | (Basis Points) |

In evaluating our exposure to interest rate risk, certain shortcomings inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table must be noted. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayments and early withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. As a result, the actual effect of changing interest rates may differ from that presented in the foregoing table.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment and prepayment of loans, interest earned on or maturation of investment securities and short-term investments, borrowings and funds provided from operations. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general market interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
We monitor our cash flow carefully and strive to minimize the level of cash held in low rate overnight accounts or in cash on hand. We also carefully track the scheduled delivery of loans committed for sale to be added to our cash flow calculations.
Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Bank originated loans totaling $123.2 million. These investment activities were funded primarily by principal repayments and prepayments on loans and maturities of investment securities totaling $87.7 million. The proceeds from the sale of loans totaled $19.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. We sold one security for $1.4 million in 2004. There were no security sales in 2005.
The major sources of cash from financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2005 was an increase in deposits of $9.4 million and an increase in borrowings of $5.2 million. We currently use, and intend to continue to use, Federal Home Loan Bank advances as a source of funding for loans when advantageous interest rate risk matches can be found.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function for our senior management. We adjust our investment strategy, within the limits established by the investment policy, based upon assessments of expected loan demand, expected cash flows, Federal Home Loan Bank advance opportunities, market yields and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Base levels of liquidity have generally been invested in interest-earning overnight and time deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Funds for which a demand is not foreseen in the near future are invested in investment and other securities for the purpose of yield enhancement and asset/liability management.
Our current internal policy for liquidity is 4%. Our liquidity ratio at December 31, 2005 was 4.87% as a percentage of total assets.
We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. At December 31, 2005, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans and available lines of credit totaling $58.2 million and commitments to provide borrowers the funds needed to complete current construction projects in the amount of $5.5 million. Certificates of deposit that will mature in one year or less at December 31, 2005 totaled $78.8 million. Based on our experience, our certificates of deposit have been a relatively stable source of long-term funds as such certificates are generally renewed upon maturity since we have established long-term banking relationships with our customers. Therefore, we believe a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although this cannot be assured.
LSB Financial also has a need for, and sources of liquidity. Liquidity is required to fund our operating expenses, fund stock repurchase programs, as well as for the payment of dividends to shareholders. At December 31, 2005, LSB Financial had $646,000 in liquid assets on hand. The primary source of liquidity on an ongoing basis is dividends from
Lafayette Savings. Dividends totaling $2.1 million were paid from the Bank to LSB Financial during the year ended December 31, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005, LSB Financial paid dividends to shareholders totaling $941,000.
Regulatory agencies have established capital adequacy standards which are used in their monitoring and control of the industry. These standards relate capital to levels of risk by assigning different weightings to assets and certain off-balance-sheet activity. As shown in the footnote to the consolidated financial statements (“Regulatory Matters”), our capital levels exceed the requirements to be considered well capitalized at December 31, 2005.
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any off-balance-sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, change in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance-sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement, or other contractual arrangement to which any entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party and under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements regarding off-balance-sheet commitments.
The Company’s contractual obligations as of December 31, 2005 are summarized in the following table.
| | Payments due by period | |

Impact of Accounting Changes
Future Accounting Matters
Share-Based Compensation. In December, 2004, FASB issued an amendment to SFAS 123 (SFAS 123R), which eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value-based method. On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the compliance date for SFAS 123R from the beginning of the first interim or annual period that begins after June 15, 2005 to the next fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006. The effect on the Company’s results of operations depends on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided and possible performance condition requirements, and so cannot currently be predicted for future awards.
SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted after the effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. The statement establishes standards for accounting for share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment transactions are those in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services or in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of these equity instruments. SFAS 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans.
As of January 1, 2006, the Company applied SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. This method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards over the requisite service period (generally the vesting schedule). For liability-classified awards, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on its current fair value. The fair value is re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date, and changes in fair value are recognized as compensation cost. For equity-classified awards, the grant date fair value is recognized in earnings over the requisite service period.
Earnings Per Share. The FASB has issued a proposed amendment to SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, to clarify guidance for mandatorily convertible instruments, the treasury stock method, contingently issuable shares, and contracts that may be settled in cash or share. The primary impact on the Company of the proposed Statement is the change to the treasury stock method for year-to-date diluted earnings per share.
Currently SFAS 128 requires that the number of incremental shares included in the denominator be determined by computing a year-to-date weighted average of the number of incremental shares included in each quarterly diluted earnings per share computation. Under this proposed Statement, the number of incremental shares included in year-to-date diluted earnings per share would be computed using the average market price of common shares for the year-to-date period, independent of the quarterly computations. This computational change is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s diluted earnings per share.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
The Company’s primary assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on our performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates, however, do not necessarily move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as the price of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation. In a period of rapidly rising interest rates, the liquidity and maturities structures of our assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.
The principal effect of inflation, as distinct from levels of interest rates, on earnings is in the area of noninterest expense. Such expense items as employee compensation, employee benefits and occupancy and equipment costs may be subject to increases as a result of inflation. An additional effect of inflation is the possible increase in the dollar value of the collateral securing loans that the Company has made. The Company is unable to determine the extent, if any, to which properties securing our loans have appreciated in dollar value due to inflation.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LSB Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LSB Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1: | Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Operations
LSB Financial Corp. (“Company”) is a thrift holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lafayette Savings Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers in Tippecanoe and surrounding counties in Indiana. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank is subject to the regulation of certain federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
The Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, LSB Service Corporation (LSBSC) and Lafayette Insurance and Investments, Inc. (LI&I) provide various financial services to its customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is secured by single and multi-family residential mortgages.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, LSBSC and LI&I. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, fair value of servicing rights and financial instruments. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
Securities
Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in other comprehensive income.
Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded as interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses are recorded as net security gains (losses). Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific-identification method.
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market 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 income.
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoffs are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term. Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status at ninety days past due and interest is considered a loss, unless the loan is well-secured. Accrued interest for loans placed on non-accrual status is reversed against interest income.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements.
Premises and Equipment
Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 3 to 39 years.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank system. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula.
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net income or expense from foreclosed assets.

Servicing Rights
Servicing rights on originated loans that have been sold are capitalized by allocating the total cost of the mortgage loans between the mortgage servicing rights and the loans based on their relative fair values. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated servicing revenues. Impairment of mortgage-servicing rights is assessed based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The predominant characteristic currently used for stratification is type of loan. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for a stratum exceed their fair value and is recorded through a valuation allowance.
Stock Options
At December 31, 2005, the Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 13. The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted-average common shares outstanding during each year. Unearned ESOP shares and RRP shares which have not vested have been excluded from the computation of average shares outstanding. During 2005 and 2004, the Company paid a five percent stock dividend. Accordingly, all share and per share data have been restated to reflect the stock dividend for all years presented.
Operating Segments
While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, the identifiable segments are not material and operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 and 2003 financial statements to conform to the 2005 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
Note 2: Restriction on Cash and Due From Banks
The Bank is required to maintain reserve funds in cash and/or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserve required at December 31, 2005 was $1,066.

Gross gains of $0, $11 and $0 resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities were realized for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively, less tax expense of $4 in 2004.
Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $10,204 and $5,298, which is approximately 88% and 67% of the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from recent increases in market interest rates.
Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, credit rating information and information obtained from regulatory filings, management 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 and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net operating losses would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate. The deferred income tax liabilities on the preceding amounts that would have been recorded if they were expected to reverse into taxable income in the foreseeable future were approximately $737 at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Note 11: Regulatory Matters
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking 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 Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below). Management believes, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table.

The Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare without prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 2005, approximately $2,561 of retained earnings were available for dividend declaration without prior regulatory approval.
LSB converted from a mutual to a stock institution, and a “liquidation account” was established at $8,066, which was net worth reported in the conversion prospectus. Eligible depositors who have maintained their accounts, less annual reduction to the extent they have reduced their deposits, would receive a distribution from this account if the Bank liquidated. Dividends may not reduce shareholders’ equity below the required liquidation account balance.

Stock awarded under the RRP is restricted as to certain rights at the time of issuance. These restrictions are removed over a 5-year period. If an employee leaves LSB prior to vesting, the remaining restricted shares are returned to the Company. During 2005 and 2004, no shares were forfeited by RRP participants. The cost of awarded shares is amortized over the vesting period. Expense recorded for the RRP totaled $29, $29 and $29 for 2005, 2004 and 2003.

Note 15: Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Company does not know whether the fair values shown below represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.
| | December 31, 2005 | | December 31, 2004 | |
| | Carrying Amount | | Fair Value | | Carrying Amount | | Fair Value | |
Financial assets | | | | | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 9,384 | | $ | 9,384 | | $ | 9,213 | | $ | 9,213 | |

Interest payable | | | 416 | | | 416 | | | 308 | | | 308 | |
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Interest-Bearing Deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Securities
Fair values equal quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices of similar securities.
LSB Financial Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
Loans
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations.
Deposits
Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Interest Receivable and Interest Payable
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.
Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit
Loan commitments and letters-of-credit generally have short-term, variable rate features and contain clauses which limit the Bank’s exposure to changes in customer credit quality. Accordingly, their carrying values, which are immaterial at the respective balance sheet dates, are reasonable estimates of fair value.
Note 16: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

At year-end, these financial instruments are summarized as follows:
| | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Commitments to extend credit | | | | | |
Fixed rate | | $ | 7,891 | | $ | 2,886 | |
Variable rate | | | 4,058 | | | 5,922 | |
Unused portions of lines of credit | | | 46,264 | | | 49,411 | |
Letters of credit | | | 2,561 | | | 5,041 | |
The commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established under the contract. Generally, such commitments are for no more than 60 days. At December 31, 2005, the fixed rate loan commitments were at rates ranging from 5.50% to 8.25%. Unused portions of lines of credit include balances available on commercial and home equity loans and are variable rate.

Note 18: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Future Accounting Matters
Share-Based Compensation
In December 2004, FASB issued an amendment to SFAS 123 (SFAS 123R), which eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value-based method. On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the compliance date for SFAS 123R from the beginning of the first interim or annual period that begins after June 15, 2005 to the next fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006. The effect on the Company’s results of operations depends on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided and possible performance condition requirements, and so cannot currently be predicted for future awards.
SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted after the effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. The statement establishes standards for accounting for share-based payment transactions. Share-based payment transactions are those in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services or in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of these equity instruments. SFAS 123R covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee stock purchase plans.
As of January 1, 2006, the Company applied SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. This method requires that compensation expense be recorded for all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards over the requisite service period (generally the vesting schedule). For liability-classified awards, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on its current fair value. The fair value is re-measured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date, and changes in fair value are recognized as compensation cost. For equity-classified awards, the grant date fair value is recognized in earnings over the requisite service period.
Earnings Per Share
The FASB has issued a proposed amendment to SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, to clarify guidance for mandatorily convertible instruments, the treasury stock method, contingently issuable shares, and contracts that may be settled in cash or shares. The primary impact on the Company of the proposed Statement is the change to the treasury stock method for year-to-date diluted earnings per share.
LSB Financial Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003
(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
Currently, SFAS No. 128 requires that the number of incremental shares included in the denominator be determined by computing a year-to-date weighted average of the number of incremental shares included in each quarterly diluted EPS computation. Under this proposed Statement, the number of incremental shares included in year-to-date diluted earnings per share would be computed using the average market price of common shares for the year-to-date period, independent of the quarterly computations. This computational change is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s diluted earnings per share.
