PART I
Item 1. Business
General
LSB Financial Corp. (“LSB Financial” or the “Company”) is an Indiana corporation which was organized in 1994 by Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB (“Lafayette Savings”) for the purpose of becoming a thrift institution holding company. Lafayette Savings is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Lafayette, Indiana. Originally organized in 1869, Lafayette Savings converted to a federal savings bank in 1984. Lafayette Savings’ deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Bank Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). In February 1995, Lafayette Savings converted to the stock form of organization through the sale and issuance of 1,029,576 shares of its common stock to LSB Financial. LSB Financial’s principal asset is the outstanding stock of Lafayette Savings. LSB Financial presently has no separate operations and its business consists only of the business of Lafayette Savings. References in this Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to LSB Financial and/or Lafayette Savings as the context requires.
We have been, and intend to continue to be, a community-oriented financial institution. Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds primarily in permanent first mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences, and to a lesser extent, non-owner occupied one- to four-family residential, commercial real estate, multi-family, construction and development, consumer and commercial business loans. We currently serve Tippecanoe County, Indiana and its surrounding counties through our five retail banking offices. At December 31, 2006, we had total assets of $368.4 million, deposits of $255.3 million and shareholders’ equity of $34.8 million.
Our revenues are derived principally from interest on mortgage and other loans and interest on securities.
Our executive offices are located at 101 Main Street, Lafayette, Indiana 47901. Our telephone number at that address is (765) 742-1064.
Market Area
Tippecanoe County and the eight surrounding counties comprise Lafayette Savings’ primary market area. Lafayette is the county seat of Tippecanoe County and West Lafayette is the home of Purdue University. In addition to the jobs provided by these two major employers, Greater Lafayette has a strong manufacturing sector as well as many high-tech industries attracted to the area by the presence of Purdue University. The Purdue Research Park continues to attract high-tech jobs to the area, housing over 140 companies and employing nearly 2,900 people. Further growth is expected in this area. Tippecanoe County consistently shows better growth and lower unemployment rates than Indiana or the national economy because of the diverse employment base. The unemployment rate in Tippecanoe County in December 2006 was 3.7% compared to 4.7% for the State of Indiana and 4.3% nationally. This represents an improvement from 2005 when the comparable numbers were 4.6%, 5.3% and 4.9%, respectively.
Lending Activities
General. Our principal lending activity is the origination of conventional mortgage loans for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, or refinancing owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate located in our primary market area. We also originate non-owner occupied one- to four-family residential, multi-family and land development, commercial real estate, consumer and commercial business loans.
We originate both adjustable rate loans and fixed rate loans. We generally originate adjustable rate loans for retention in our portfolio in an effort to increase the percentage of loans with more frequent repricing than traditional long-term fixed rate loans. As a result of continued consumer demand for long-term fixed rate loans, we have continued to originate such loans. We underwrite these mortgages utilizing secondary market guidelines allowing them to be salable, without recourse. The sale of these loans results in additional short-term income and improves our interest-rate risk position. We generally retain servicing rights on loans sold to Freddie Mac, but release the servicing rights on loans sold to other third parties. Furthermore, in order to limit our potential exposure to increasing interest rates caused by our traditional emphasis on originating single-family mortgage loans, we have diversified our portfolio by increasing our emphasis on the origination of short-term or adjustable rate multi-family and commercial real estate loans and commercial
business and consumer loans. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability Management” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.
Our loan officers and certain executive officers in combination with a senior loan officer have approval authority on loans up to $500,000 based on the borrower’s aggregate indebtedness and debt services coverage. Our officers’ loan committee has approval authority on loans up to $1.5 million, also qualified by the borrower’s aggregate indebtedness and debt services coverage. The Board of Directors’ loan committee approves all loans where aggregate debt is over $1.5 million or where debt coverage is below certain minimum thresholds. All loans over $500,000 are approved by the Board of Directors’ loan committee.
At December 31, 2006, the maximum amount we could have loaned to any one borrower and the borrower’s related entities was $5.5 million. Our largest lending relationship to a single borrower or a group of related borrowers at December 31, 2006, totaled $4.9 million, consisting of a single land development loan, two loans on commercial properties and a single unsecured line of credit. The second largest lending relationship at December 31, 2006 to a single borrower or a group of related borrowers totaled $4.8 million, consisting of a single loan on a commercial property and a loan secured by a one- to four-family residence. The third largest lending relationship to a single borrower or a group of related borrowers totaled $4.8 million, consisting of a single line of credit secured by various residential properties, a single loan on a multi-family property and two unsecured lines of credit, one of which paid off on January 2, 2007. All of these loans were performing in accordance with their terms at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, we had thirty other loans or lending relationships to a single borrower or group of related borrowers with a principal balance in excess of $2.0 million.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending
Our lending program focuses on the origination of permanent loans secured by mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. We also originate loans secured by non-owner occupied, one- to four-family residences. Substantially all of these loans are secured by properties located in our primary market area. We originate a variety of residential loans, including conventional 15- and 30-year fixed rate loans, fixed rate loans convertible to adjustable rate loans, adjustable rate loans and balloon loans.
Our one- to four-family residential adjustable rate loans are fully amortizing loans with contractual maturities of up to 30 years. The interest rates on the majority of the adjustable rate loans originated by us are subject to adjustment at one-, three- or five-year intervals. Our adjustable rate mortgage products generally carry interest rates which are reset to a stated margin over the weekly average of the one-, three- or five-year U.S. Treasury rates. Increases or decreases in the interest rate of our one-year adjustable rate loans are generally limited to 2% annually with a lifetime interest rate cap of 6% over the initial rate. Increases or decreases in the interest rate of three-year and five-year adjustable rate loans are limited to a 3% annual adjustment cap with a 5% lifetime interest rate cap over the initial rate. Our one-year adjustable rate loans may be convertible into fixed rate loans after the first year and before the sixth year upon payment of a fee, do not contain prepayment penalties and do not produce negative amortization. Initial interest rates offered on our adjustable rate loans may be below the fully indexed rate. Borrowers are qualified at 2% over the initial interest rate for our one-year adjustable rate loans and at the initial interest rate for our three-year and five-year adjustable rate loans. We generally retain adjustable rate loans in our portfolio pursuant to our asset/liability management strategy. Five-year adjustable rate mortgage loans represented $12.2 million, three-year adjustable rate mortgage loans represented $74.2 million and one-year adjustable rate mortgage loans represented $4.5 million of our adjustable rate mortgage loans at December 31, 2006. We also offer a floating rate mortgage loan based on national prime rate, generally on non-owner-occupied residential loans. These loans represented $4.7 million of our adjustable rate mortgage loans at December 31, 2006.
We offer fixed rate mortgage loans to owner-occupants with maturities up to 30 years and which conform to Freddie Mac standards. We currently sell in the secondary market the majority of our long-term, conforming, fixed rate loans with terms over 15 years. Loans designated as held for sale are carried on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or market value. At December 31, 2006, we had $1.0 million in loans held for sale. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability Management” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K. Interest rates charged on these fixed rate loans are priced on a daily basis in accordance with Freddie Mac pricing standards. These loans do not include prepayment penalties.
We also offer 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans, which, after five or seven years, convert to our standard one-year adjustable rate mortgage for the remainder of the term. Of these, $5.4 million have less than three years to their adjustment date and are included in adjustable rate loans.
We had $89.1 million in non-owner occupied one- to four-family residential loans at December 31, 2006. These loans are underwritten using the same criteria as owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential loans, but are provided at higher rates than owner-occupied loans. We offer fixed rate, adjustable rate and convertible rate loans, with terms of up to 30 years.
We originate residential mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios of up to 95% for owner-occupied residential loans and up to 80% for non-owner occupied residential loans. We require private mortgage insurance in an amount intended to reduce our exposure to 80% or less of the lesser of the purchase price or appraised value of the underlying collateral. We occasionally originate FHA loans in excess of 95% loan-to-value, all of which are sold, with the servicing rights released, to a third party.
In underwriting one- to four-family residential real estate loans, we evaluate both the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments and the value of the property securing the loan. Properties securing owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we make are appraised by independent fee appraisers. We require borrowers to obtain title insurance and fire insurance, extended coverage casualty insurance and flood insurance, if appropriate. Real estate loans that we originate contain a “due on sale” clause allowing us to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property.
Multi-Family and Commercial Real Estate Lending
We originate permanent loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate. Our permanent multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolio includes loans secured by apartment buildings, office buildings, churches, warehouses, retail stores, shopping centers, small business facilities and farm properties, most of which are located within our primary market area.
Permanent multi-family and commercial real estate loans are originated as three-year and five-year adjustable rate loans with up to a 24-year amortization. To a substantially lesser extent, such loans are originated as fixed rate or balloon loans or at a floating rate based on national prime rate, at terms up to 15 years. The adjustable rate loans are tied to an index based on the weekly average of the three-year or five-year U.S. Treasury rate, respectively, plus a stated margin over the index. Multi-family loans and commercial real estate loans have been written in amounts of up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value of the property or the purchase price, and borrowers are generally personally liable for all or part of the indebtedness.
Appraisals on properties securing multi-family and commercial real estate loans originated in excess of $100,000 by us are performed by independent appraisers designated by us at the time the loan is made and reviewed by management. In addition, our underwriting procedures generally require verification of the borrower’s credit history, income and financial statements, banking relationships and income projections for the property.
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by one- to four-family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or renewed, or a bankruptcy court modifies a lease term, or a major tenant is unable to fulfill its lease obligations), the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
Construction, Land and Land Development Lending
We make construction loans to individuals for the construction of their residences as well as to builders and developers for the construction of one- to four-family residences, multi-family dwellings and commercial real estate projects. At December 31, 2006, substantially all of these loans were secured by property located within our primary market area.
Construction loans to individuals for their residences typically run six to eight months and are generally structured to be converted to permanent loans at the end of the construction phase. These construction loans are fixed rate loans, with interest rates higher than those we offer on one- to four-family loans. During the construction phase, the borrower pays interest only. Residential construction loans are underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential loans. At December 31, 2006, we had $5.4 million of construction loans to borrowers intending to live in the properties upon completion of construction.
Construction loans to builders of one- to four-family residences generally have terms of six to eight months and require the payment of interest only at a fixed rate for the loan term. We limit builders to one home construction loan at a time, but would consider requests for more than one if the homes are presold. At December 31, 2006, we had $6.5 million of construction loans to builders of one- to four-family residences.
We make construction loans to builders of multi-family dwellings and commercial projects with terms up to one year and require payment of interest only at a fixed rate for the construction phase of the loan. These loans are generally structured to be converted to one of our permanent commercial loan products at the end of the construction phase. At December 31, 2006, we had $7.3 million of loans to finance the construction of multi-family dwellings and commercial projects.
We also make loans to builders for the purpose of developing one- to four-family lots and residential condominium projects. These loans typically have terms of two to three years with interest rates tied to national prime. The maximum loan-to-value ratio is 75%. The principal in these loans is typically paid down as lots or units are sold. These loans may be structured as revolving lines of credit with maturities of generally two years or less. At December 31, 2006, we had $14.8 million of development loans to builders. We also make land acquisition loans. At December 31, 2006, we had $3.7 million in loans secured by land.
Construction and development loans are obtained principally through continued business from developers and builders who have previously borrowed from us, as well as referrals from existing customers and realtors, and walk-in customers. The application process includes a submission to us of accurate plans, specifications and costs of the project to be constructed/developed which are used as a basis to determine the appraised value of the subject property. Loans are based on the lesser of current appraised value and/or the cost of construction, which is the land plus the building. At December 31, 2006, our largest construction and development loan was a development loan for a mixed use project for $2.6 million.
Construction and land development loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by one- to four-family residences. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating land development and construction costs and the market for the project upon completion, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project, the related loan-to-value ratios and the likelihood of ultimate success of the project. Construction and land development loans to borrowers other than owner-occupants also involve many of the same risks discussed above regarding multi-family and commercial real estate loans and tend to be more sensitive to general economic conditions than many other types of loans. We had one non-performing construction and development loan totaling $93,000 at December 31, 2006.
Consumer Lending
We originate a variety of different types of consumer loans, including home equity loans, direct automobile loans, home improvement loans, deposit account loans and other secured and unsecured loans for household and personal purposes. Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. The largest component of consumer lending is home equity loans, which totaled $16.3 million or 5.0% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2006. We are currently offering a revolving line of credit home equity loan on which the total commitment amount, when combined with the balance of the first mortgage lien and other priority liens, may not exceed 90% of the appraised value of the property, with a five-year term and minimum monthly payment requirement of interest only. At December 31, 2006, we had $18.4 million of unused credit available under our home equity line of credit program.
Our underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and the applicant’s ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, our underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount. Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.
Commercial Business Lending
Our current commercial business lending activities encompass predominantly secured and unsecured lines of credit and loans secured by small business equipment and vehicles. At December 31, 2006, we had $4.0 million of unsecured loans and lines of credit outstanding (with $2.7 million of unused credit available) and $8.8 million of loans and lines of credit (with $1.4 million of unused credit available) secured by inventory or accounts receivable, small business equipment and vehicles. We also had $1.1 million of unused credit available on letters of credit.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income and which are secured by real property the value of which tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself, which is likely to be dependent upon the general economic environment. Our commercial business loans are sometimes, but not always, secured by business assets. However, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
We recognize the increased risks associated with commercial business lending. Our commercial business lending policy emphasizes credit file documentation and analysis of the borrower’s character, capacity to repay the loan, the adequacy of the borrower’s capital and collateral as well as an evaluation of the industry conditions affecting the borrower. Analysis of the borrower’s past, present and future cash flows is also an important aspect of our credit analysis.
Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales
Real estate loans are originated by our staff of salaried loan officers and our residential mortgage loan originators who receive applications from existing customers, walk-in customers, and referrals from realtors. While we originate both adjustable rate and fixed rate loans, our ability to originate loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for loans in our market. Demand is affected by the interest rate environment. Currently, the majority of conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans with maturities of 15 years and over are originated for sale in the secondary market. Based on our interest-rate risk considerations, we occasionally will keep fixed rate residential mortgage loans in our portfolio to generate income and to be available for substitution in the event a loan committed for sale fails to close as expected. These loans are sold either to Freddie Mac while we retain the servicing rights, or to ABN Amro with servicing released. These loans are originated to satisfy customer demand and to generate fee income and are sold to achieve the goals of our asset/liability management program.
When loans are sold to Freddie Mac, we retain the responsibility for collecting and remitting loan payments, inspecting the properties, making certain that insurance and real estate tax payments are made on behalf of borrowers, and otherwise servicing the loans. We receive a servicing fee for performing these services. We serviced mortgage loans for others totaling $148.8 million at December 31, 2006.
In periods of rising interest rates, our ability to originate large dollar volumes of real estate loans may be substantially reduced or restricted, with a resultant decrease in related operating earnings. In addition, our ability to sell loans may substantially decrease as potential buyers reduce their purchasing activities.
We occasionally purchase a limited amount of participation interests in real estate loans from other financial institutions outside our primary market area. We review and underwrite all loans to be purchased to insure that they meet our underwriting standards.
The following table shows our loan and mortgage-backed security origination, purchase, sale and repayment activities for the periods indicated. One- to four-family fixed rate loans include $2.2 million, $1.3 million and $1.5 million of loans originated during 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively, which carry a fixed rate of interest for the initial five or seven years and then convert to a one-year adjustable rate of interest for the remaining term of the loan.

Asset Quality
Loan payments are generally due the first day of each month. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, we attempt to cause the delinquency to be cured by contacting the borrower. In the case of residential loans, a late notice is sent for accounts seven or more days delinquent. If the delinquency is not cured by the 15th day, the borrower will be assessed a late charge. Additional written and oral contacts may be made with the borrower between 20 and 30 days after the due date. If the full scheduled payment on the loan is not received prior to the 1st day of the succeeding month, the loan is considered 30 days past due and more formal collection procedures may be instituted. If the delinquency continues for a period of 60 days, we usually send a default letter to the borrower and, after 90 days, institute appropriate action to foreclose on the property. If foreclosed, the property is sold at public auction and we may purchase it. Delinquent consumer loans are handled in a similar manner. Our procedures for repossession and sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under Indiana consumer protection laws.
Delinquent Loans. The following table sets forth information concerning delinquent loans at December 31, 2006, in dollar amounts and as a percentage of each category of our loan portfolio.

In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above under the caption “Non-Performing Assets,” as of December 31, 2006, there was also an aggregate of $21.8 million in net book value of loans with respect to which past payment history of the borrowers may cause management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories. Included in the other loans of concern are (i) 92 loans to six borrowers who each had an average of 15 one- to four-family rental properties with a total outstanding balance of $6.4 million, where management has concerns about the ability of the borrowers to keep the rental properties leased and about the cash flow of the borrowers; (ii) a land development loan to a single borrower with an outstanding balance of $2.5 million, where management has concerns about the scheduled take-down of the lots; and (iii) four commercial business loans to a single borrower with an outstanding balance of $2.0 million, secured by various types of collateral, where management has concerns about the cash flow of the borrower.
Classified Assets. Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) to be of lesser quality, as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss.” An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard,” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated “special mention” by management.
When an insured institution classifies problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, it may establish general allowances for loan losses in an amount deemed prudent by management. General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been allocated to particular problem assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as “loss,” it is required either to establish a specific allowance for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge off such amount. An institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by the OTS and the FDIC, which may order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances.
In connection with the filing of our periodic reports with the OTS and in accordance with our classification of assets policy, we regularly review the problem assets in our portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. At December 31, 2006, we had classified $17.4 million of our loans as substandard, $4 million as doubtful and none as loss. At December 31, 2006, we had designated $4.6 million in loans as special mention.
Allowance 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 factors. We also consider the loss experience of similar portfolios in comparable lending markets as well as using the services of a consultant to assist in the evaluation of our growing commercial 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.
Our analysis of the loan portfolio begins by assigning each new loan a risk rating at the time the loan is originated, corresponding to one of ten risk categories. If the loan is a commercial credit, the borrower will also be assigned a rating. Adjustments are made to these ratings on a quarterly basis, based on the performance of the individual loan. Loans no longer performing as agreed are assigned a lower risk rating, eventually resulting in their being regarded as classified loans. A collateral re-evaluation form is completed on all classified loans, identifying expected losses, generally based on an analysis of the collateral securing those loans. A portion of the loan loss reserve is allocated to the classified loans in the amount identified as at risk.
Portions of the allowance are also allocated to non-classified loan portfolios which have been segregated into categories of loans having similar characteristics and similar inherent risk. These categories include loans on: one- to four-family owner-occupied properties, one- to four-family non-owner-occupied properties, multi-family rental properties, non-residential properties, land and land development projects, construction projects, second mortgages and home equity loans, unsecured commercial business loans, secured commercial business loans, and consumer loans. Factors considered in determining the percentage allocation for each category include: historical loss experience, underwriting standards, trends in property values, trends in delinquent and non-performing loans, and economic trends affecting our market. Although we believe we use the best information available to make such determinations, future adjustments to reserves may be necessary, and net income could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations - Provision for Loan Losses” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.
The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses.

Investment Activities
We must maintain minimum levels of securities that qualify as liquid assets under the OTS regulations. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Historically, we have maintained liquid assets at levels we believe adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows. Cash flow projections are regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained. At December 31, 2006 our liquidity ratio, liquid assets as a percentage of net withdrawable savings deposits and current borrowings was 6.09%. Our level of liquidity is a result of management’s asset/liability strategy. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability Management” and “- Liquidity and Capital Resources” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.
Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers’ acceptances, repurchase agreements and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, federally chartered savings institutions may also invest their assets in investment grade commercial paper and corporate debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly.
Generally, we invest funds among various categories of investments and maturities based upon our asset/liability management policies, concern for the highest investment quality, liquidity needs and performance objectives. It is our general policy to purchase securities which are U.S. Government securities, investment grade municipal and corporate bonds, commercial paper, federal agency obligations and interest-bearing deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank.
The following table sets forth the composition of our securities portfolio at the dates indicated. As of December 31, 2006, our investment portfolio did not contain securities of any issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our shareholders’ equity, excluding those issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies.

The following table sets forth the composition and contractual maturities of our securities portfolio at December 31, 2006. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because issuers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At December 31, 2006, all of our securities were classified as available for sale and as such were reported at fair value. The weighted average yields on tax exempt obligations have been computed on a tax equivalent basis.

Sources of Funds
General. 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.
Deposits. We offer a variety of deposit accounts. Our deposits consist of passbook and statement savings accounts, money market accounts, NOW accounts and certificate accounts. In addition, we periodically solicit broker originated certificates of deposit when issues are available that meet our interest rate and liquidity needs. Brokered deposits at December 31, 2006 totaled $65.6 million. We rely primarily on competitive pricing policies, on-line and off-line advertising, and customer service to attract and retain these deposits.
The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates and competition. The variety of deposit accounts we offer has allowed us to be competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. We manage the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset/liability management, profitability and growth objectives. Based on our experience, we believe that our savings, interest- and non-interest-bearing checking accounts are relatively stable sources of deposits. However, our ability to attract and maintain certificates of deposit, and the rates paid on these deposits, has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions.

Borrowings. Our other available sources of funds include borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and other borrowings. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis, we are required to own capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank and are authorized to apply for borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Each Federal Home Loan Bank credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, and the programs have a range of maturities. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis may prescribe the acceptable uses for these funds, as well as limitations on the size of the borrowings and repayment provisions.
We utilize Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings as part of our asset/liability management strategy in order to extend the maturity of our liabilities in a cost-effective manner. We may be required to pay a commitment fee upon application and may be subject to a prepayment fee if we prepay the advance. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders attached as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.

Subsidiaries and Other Activities
Lafayette Savings owns a service corporation, L.S.B. Service Corporation. In April 1994, Lafayette Savings made an initial investment of $51,000 in L.S.B. Service Corporation when it became a 14.16% limited partner in a low-income housing project in Lafayette, Indiana, pursuant to a 10-year commitment totaling $500,000. During 2006, L.S.B. Service Corporation received a $5,000 tax credit related to its investment in the project and recorded net losses of $525. At December 31, 2006, our total investment in L.S.B. Service Corporation was $512,000.
Lafayette Savings formed Lafayette Insurance and Investments, Inc., an Indiana corporation, on December 31, 1996. Lafayette Insurance and Investments, Inc. began offering various insurance, annuity and investment products and services to our customers in June of 1997. At December 31, 2006, our total investment in Lafayette Insurance and Investments, Inc. was $23,000. During 2002, Lafayette Insurance and Investments, Inc. became inactive and remained so in 2006.
Competition
We face strong competition, both in originating real estate and other loans and in attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers making loans secured by real estate located in Tippecanoe County, our primary market area. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending.
We attract the majority of our deposits through our branch offices, primarily from the communities in which those branch offices are located; therefore, competition for those deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks and credit unions located in the same communities as well as mutual funds and other financial intermediaries. We compete for these deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours and branch locations and Internet banking with interbranch deposit and withdrawal privileges.
There are 21 other savings institutions, credit unions and banks in our primary market area. We estimate our share of the savings market and mortgage loans in Tippecanoe County to be approximately 14%.
Regulation
General. Lafayette Savings is a federally chartered savings bank, the deposits of which are federally insured and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Accordingly, we are subject to broad federal regulation, primarily by the OTS, and oversight extending to all of our operations. Lafayette Savings is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and is subject to certain limited regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As the thrift holding company of Lafayette Savings, LSB Financial is also subject to federal regulation and oversight by the OTS.
Insurance of Deposits. The Bank's deposits are insured to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the “Reform Act”), which was signed into law in February 2006, has resulted in significant changes to the federal deposit insurance program:
· | Effective March 31, 2006, the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (“SAIF”) were merged to create a new fund, called the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) |
· | The current $100,000 deposit insurance coverage is subject to adjustment for inflation beginning in 2010 and every succeeding five years |
· | Deposit insurance coverage for individual retirement accounts and certain other retirement accounts has been increased from $100,000 to $250,000 and also will subject to adjustment for inflation |
Pursuant to the Reform Act, the FDIC is authorized to set the reserve ratio for the DIF annually at between 1.15% and 1.5% of estimated insured deposits and the FDIC has been given discretion to set assessment rates according to risk regardless of the level of the fund reserve ratio. On November 2, 2006, the FDIC adopted final regulations that set the designated reserve ratio for the DIF at 1.25% beginning January 1, 2007.
Insured depository institutions that were in existence on December 31, 1996 and paid assessments prior to that date (or their successors) are entitled to a one-time credit against future assessments based on their past contributions to the BIF or SAIF. In 2006, the Bank received a one-time credit of $163,379 against future assessments.
Also on November 2, 2006, the FDIC adopted final regulations that establish a new risk-based premium system. Under the new system, the FDIC will evaluate each institution's risk based on three primary sources of information: supervisory ratings for all insured institutions, financial ratios for most institutions, and long-term debt issuer ratings for large institutions that have such ratings. An institution’s assessments will be based on the insured institution's ranking in one of four risk categories. Effective January 1, 2007, well-capitalized institutions with the CAMELS ratings of 1 or 2 will be grouped in Risk Category I and will be assessed for deposit insurance at an annual rate of between five and seven cents for every $100 of domestic deposits. Institutions in Risk Categories II, III and IV will be assessed at annual rates of 10, 28 and 43 cents, respectively. An increase in assessments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s earnings.
FDIC-insured institutions remain subject to the requirement to pay assessments to the FDIC to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation (“FICO”), an agency of the Federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the SAIF. These assessments will continue until the FICO bonds mature in 2017. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the FICO assessment rate was equal to 1.24 cents for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.
Federal Regulation of Savings Associations. The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings institutions. As part of this authority, we are required to file periodic reports with the OTS and are subject to periodic examinations by the OTS and the FDIC.
The OTS also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings institutions and their holding companies. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions.
Lafayette Savings’ general permissible lending limit for loans to one borrower is equal to the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus, except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired capital and surplus. At December 31, 2006, our lending limit under this restriction was $5.5 million.
Regulatory Capital Requirements. To be considered adequately capitalized, under the prompt corrective action regulations, a savings association must maintain the following capital ratios: a leverage ratio (the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets) of at least 4% (unless its supervisory condition allows a 3% ratio), a Tier 1 risk-based ratio (the ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets) of at least 4%, and a total risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets) of at least 8%. Total capital consists of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
Tier 1 capital generally consists of common stockholders’ equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and other tangible capital plus certain intangible assets, including a limited amount of purchased credit card receivables. Tier 2 capital consists generally of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments and allowances for loan and lease losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. When determining total capital, Tier 2 capital may not exceed Tier 1 capital. At December 31, 2006, we had no intangible assets which were included in Tier 1 capital, other than mortgage servicing rights of $1.2 million.
To determine the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a risk weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type of asset. For example, the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one- to four-family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 90% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
To be considered well capitalized, a savings association must have a leverage ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of at least 6% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10%. As of December 31, 2006, Lafayette Savings qualified as well capitalized, with a leverage ratio of 9.2%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.1% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.0%. The OTS may reclassify a savings association in a lower capital category or require it to hold additional capital based upon supervisory concerns on a case-by-case basis.
Under the prompt corrective action regulations, the OTS and the FDIC are authorized, and under certain circumstances required, to take certain actions against a savings association that is not at least adequately capitalized. Such an association must submit a capital restoration plan and, until the plan is approved by the OTS, may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. For a savings association controlled by a holding company, the capital restoration plan must include a guarantee by the holding company limited to the lesser of 5% of the association’s assets when it failed the “adequately capitalized” standard or the amount needed to satisfy the plan, and, in the event of the bankruptcy of the holding company, the guaranty would have priority over the claims of general creditors. Additional and more stringent restrictions may be applicable, depending on the financial condition of the association and other circumstances. If an association becomes critically undercapitalized, because it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets of 2% or less, appointment of a receiver or conservator may be required.
Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions. OTS regulations impose various restrictions on savings institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account.
A savings association that is a subsidiary of a holding company, such as Lafayette Savings, may make a capital distribution with prior notice to the OTS, in an amount that does not exceed its net income for the calendar year-to-date plus retained net income for the previous two calendar years (less any dividends previously paid) if the savings association has a regulatory rating in the two top examination categories, is not of supervisory concern, and would remain well-capitalized following the proposed distribution. All other institutions or those seeking to exceed the noted amounts must obtain approval from the OTS for a capital distribution before making the distribution.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. All savings institutions are required to meet a qualified thrift lender test to avoid certain restrictions on their operations. This test requires a savings institution to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. As an alternative, the savings institution may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under either test, these assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and investments. At December 31, 2006, Lafayette Savings met the test.
Any savings institution that fails to meet the qualified thrift lender test must either convert to a national bank or restrict its branching rights, new activities and investments and dividends to those permissible for a national bank. If the institution has not requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the failure, it must sell all investments and stop all activities not permissible for a national bank. If any institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is controlled by a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the holding company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all restrictions on bank holding companies.
Transactions with Affiliates. Generally, transactions between a savings association or its subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the association as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of these transactions, such as loans to an affiliate, are restricted to a percentage of the association’s capital and are subject to collateralization requirements. Affiliates of Lafayette Savings include LSB Financial and any company which is under common control with Lafayette Savings. In addition, a savings association may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or acquire the securities of an affiliate. The OTS has the discretion to further restrict transactions of a savings association with an affiliate on a case-by-case basis.
Community Reinvestment Act. Under the Community Reinvestment Act, every FDIC insured institution has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with safe and sound banking practices to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the OTS, in connection with our examination, to assess our record of meeting the credit needs of our community and to take this record into account in its evaluation of certain applications, such as a merger or the establishment of a branch, by Lafayette Savings. An unsatisfactory rating may be used as the basis for the denial of an application by the OTS. We were examined for Community Reinvestment Act compliance in 2004 and received a rating of “Outstanding.”
Holding Company Regulation. LSB Financial is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory oversight by the OTS. LSB Financial is required to register and file reports with the OTS and is subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the OTS has enforcement authority over us and our non-savings institution subsidiaries.
LSB Financial generally is not subject to activity restrictions. If LSB Financial acquired control of another savings institution as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and loan holding company, and its activities and any of its subsidiaries (other than Lafayette Savings or any other savings institution) would generally become subject to additional restrictions.
USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”). The PATRIOT Act, among other things, is intended to strengthen the ability of U.S. law enforcement to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The PATRIOT Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires financial institutions to implement additional policies and procedures with respect to, or additional measures designed to address, any or all the following matters, among others: money laundering, suspicious activities and currency transaction reporting, and currency crimes. Many of the provisions in the PATRIOT Act were to have expired December 31, 2005, but the U.S. Congress authorized renewals that extended the provisions until March 10, 2006. In early March 2006, the U.S. Congress approved the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 (the “Reauthorization Act”) and the USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act of 2006 (the “PATRIOT Act Amendments”), and they were signed into law by President Bush on March 9, 2006. The Reauthorization Act makes permanent all but two of the provisions that had been set to expire and provides that the remaining two provisions, which relate to surveillance and the production of business records under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, will expire in four years. The PATRIOT Act Amendments include provisions allowing recipients of certain subpoenas to obtain judicial review of nondisclosure orders and clarifying the use of certain subpoenas to obtain information from libraries. We do not anticipate that these changes will materially affect our operations.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s stated goals include enhancing corporate responsibility, increasing penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and protecting investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
Among other things, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act creates the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board as an independent body subject to SEC supervision with responsibility for setting auditing, quality control and ethical standards for auditors of public companies. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires public companies to make faster and more extensive financial disclosures, requires the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of public companies to provide signed certifications as to the accuracy and completeness of financial information filed with the SEC, and provides enhanced criminal and civil penalties for violations of the federal securities laws.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also addresses functions and responsibilities of audit committees of public companies. The statute makes the audit committee directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the company’s outside auditor, and requires the auditor to report directly to the audit committee. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act authorizes each audit committee to engage independent counsel and other advisors, and requires a public company to provide the appropriate funding, as determined by its audit committee, to pay the company’s auditors and any advisors that its audit committee retains. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires public companies to include an internal control report and assessment by management, along with an attestation to this report prepared by the company’s registered public accounting firm, in their annual reports to stockholders.
Although LSB Financial will incur additional expense in complying with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the resulting regulations, management does not expect that such compliance will have a material impact on LSB Financial’s results of operations or financial condition.
Other Recent Legislative Developments. The Securities and Exchange Commission in 2006 adopted significant changes to its proxy statement disclosure rules relating to executive compensation. Among other things, several tables, more detailed narrative disclosures, and a new compensation discussion and analysis section are required in proxy statements. These changes have required and will require a significant commitment of managerial resources and will result in increased costs to us which could adversely affect results of operations, or cause fluctuations in results of operations, in the future.
Federal and State Taxation
Federal Taxation. Savings institutions that meet certain definitional tests relating to the composition of assets and other conditions prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, are permitted to establish reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions which may, within specified formula limits, be taken as a deduction in computing taxable income for federal income tax purposes. The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction is computed under the experience method.
In addition to the regular income tax, corporations, including savings institutions, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on alternative minimum taxable income, which is the sum of a corporation’s regular taxable income (with certain adjustments) and tax preference items, less any available exemption. The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the extent it exceeds the corporation’s regular income tax and net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income.
A portion of our reserves for losses on loans which are presented on the statement of financial condition of retained earnings, may not, without adverse tax consequences, be utilized for the payment of cash dividends or other distributions to a shareholder, including distributions on redemption, dissolution or liquidation, or for any other purpose except to absorb bad debt losses. As of December 31, 2006, the portion of our reserves subject to this treatment for tax purposes totaled approximately $1.9 million. We file consolidated federal income tax returns with our subsidiaries on a calendar year basis using the accrual method of accounting. We have not been audited by the IRS during the last five fiscal years.
Indiana Taxation. The State of Indiana imposes an 8.5% franchise tax on corporations transacting the business of a financial institution in Indiana. Included in the definition of corporations transacting the business of a financial institution in Indiana are holding companies of thrift institutions, as well as thrift institutions. Net income for franchise tax purposes will constitute federal taxable income before net operating loss deductions and special deductions, adjusted for certain items, including Indiana income taxes and bad debts. Other applicable Indiana taxes include sales, use and property taxes.
Employees
At December 31, 2006, we had a total of 96 employees, including 7 part-time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management considers its employee relations to be good.
Investors should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, which are some of the factors that could materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. The risks and uncertainties described below are not necessarily the only ones that we may face.
Changes in market interest rates could adversely affect our financial condition and 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. 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.
We 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. 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.
While we attempt to adjust our asset/liability mix in order to limit the magnitude of interest-rate risk, interest-rate risk management is not an exact science. Rather, it involves estimates as to how changes in the general level of interest rates will impact the yields earned on assets and the rates paid on liabilities. Moreover, rate changes can vary depending upon the level of rates and competitive factors. Further discussion of interest-rate risk can be found under the caption “Asset/Liability Management” in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K.
The preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates that may vary from actual results.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. One of our most critical estimates is the level of the allowance for loan losses. Due to the inherent nature of these estimates, we cannot provide absolute assurance that we will not have to increase the allowance for loan losses and/or sustain loan losses that are significantly higher than the provided allowance. While management attempts to provide an allowance for loan losses at a level adequate to cover probable incurred losses based on loan portfolio growth, past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations, and other factors, future adjustments to reserves may become necessary, and net income could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from assumptions used with respect to such factors. 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.
An economic slowdown in Tippecanoe County could affect our business.
Our primary market area for deposits and loans is Tippecanoe County, Indiana. An economic slowdown in this area could hurt our business. Possible consequences of such a downturn could include the following:
· increases in loan delinquencies and foreclosures;
· declines in the value of real estate and other collateral for loans; and
· a decline in the demand for our products and services.
We are subject to extensive regulation which limits the manner and scope of our business activities.
Our operations are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local governmental authorities and are subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions imposing requirements and restrictions on them. Policies adopted or required by these governmental authorities can affect our business operations and the availability, growth and distribution of Lafayette Savings’ investments, borrowings and deposits. In addition, the OTS periodically conducts examinations of LSB Financial and Lafayette Savings and may impose various requirements or sanctions. See “Regulation” in the description of our Business in Item 1 above for detailed information on the laws and regulations to which we are subject.
Changes in laws, regulations and policies could adversely affect our business.
Proposals to change the laws governing financial institutions are frequently raised in Congress and before bank regulatory authorities. Changes in applicable laws or policies could materially affect our business, and the likelihood of any major changes in the future and their effects are impossible to determine. Moreover, it is impossible to predict the ultimate form any proposed legislation might take or how it might affect us.
Our increased emphasis on short-term or adjustable rate multi-family, commercial real estate and land development lending and commercial business and consumer lending may expose us to increased credit risk.
One of the greatest risks facing lenders is credit risk, that is, the risk of losing principal and interest due to a borrower’s failure to perform according to the terms of a loan agreement. At December 31, 2006, $123.4 million, or 37.94%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of multi-family, commercial real estate and land development loans. Multi-family, commercial real estate and land development loans generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family loans because they typically have large balances and are more affected by adverse conditions in the economy. Because payments on land development loans, loans secured by multi-family properties and commercial real estate often depend upon the successful operation and management of the properties and the businesses which operate from within them, repayment of such loans may be affected by factors outside the borrower’s control, such as adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy or changes in government regulation.
At December 31, 2006, $20.9 million, or 6.44%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of commercial loans. Commercial loans generally have greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans because repayment of these loans often depends on the successful business operations of the borrowers. These loans also typically have much larger loan balances than residential mortgage loans.
At December 31, 2006, $19.5 million, or 6.01%, of our total loan portfolio consisted of consumer loans. Consumer loans generally involve greater risk than residential mortgage loans because they are unsecured or secured by assets that depreciate in value. Although we undertake a variety of underwriting, monitoring and reserving protections with respect to these types of loans, there can be no guarantee that we will not suffer unexpected losses.
Competition in our primary market area may reduce our ability to attract and retain deposits and obtain loans.
We operate in a competitive market for both originating real estate and other loans and attracting deposits. Competition in originating real estate loans comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and mortgage bankers making loans secured by real estate located in our primary market area. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending. In addition, non-bank competitors are generally not subject to the extensive regulation applicable to us. Competition for loan originations and deposits may limit our future growth and earnings prospects.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
Not Applicable.
Item 2. Properties
We conduct our business at our main office and four other locations in Lafayette and West Lafayette, Indiana. We own our main office and three branch offices. The fourth branch office is leased with the term of the lease expiring in 2009. The total net book value of our premises and equipment (including land, building and leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment) at December 31, 2006 was approximately $6.8 million. We have also purchased an office building adjacent to the main office location as our growth rate has required space for additional personnel and will for the next few years.
We maintain an on-line database of depositor and borrower customer information. The net book value of our data processing, computer equipment and software at December 31, 2006 was $323,000.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are, from time to time, involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel representing us in the proceedings, that the resolution of any prior and pending proceedings should not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
