Exhibit 28.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 16, 2002 FOR ADDITIoNAL INFORMATION CONTACT: RANDY J. SIZEMORE SR VICE PRESIDENT, CFO (260) 358-4680 NORTHEAST INDIANA BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS HUNTINGTON, INDIANA, -- Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc. (NEIB), the parent company of First Federal Savings Bank, today announced net income of $324,000 ($0.22 per diluted share) for the Company's second quarter ended June 30, 2002 compared to net income of $515,000 ($0.33 per diluted share) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001, a decrease in net income of $191,000 or 37.1%. Sequentially, the second quarter 2002 net income is $29,000 or 8.2% lower than the first quarter ended March 31, 2002. The current three months earnings represents an annualized return on average assets (ROA) of 0.56% and a return on average equity (ROE) of 4.91% as compared to an ROA of .84% and an ROE of 7.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Stephen E. Zahn, President and Chief Executive Officer, attributes the decrease in second quarter earnings for June 30, 2002 compared with June 30, 2001 to the following: increased loan loss provisions, a decline in the company's net interest margin, losses recognized on the sale of loans, and an increase in noninterest expenses between the two periods. Provision for loan losses increased to $175,000 during the second quarter of 2002 compared to $100,000 during the same quarter of 2001 as the company continued to monitor asset quality and overall market conditions in general. NEIB's ratio of reserves to total loans was 1.28% at June 30, 2002, an increase from 1.17% at June 30, 2001. "We have continued to see a decline in the asset quality of certain segments of the loan portfolio, which has led to both the increased provision and the net losses recognized on the sale of loans of ($35,000) for the current quarter as compared to lower provisions and net gains on the sale of loans of $18,000 during the second quarter of the prior year", according to Mr. Zahn. The company's net interest margin was 2.87% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, a decline from the 2.95% for the June 30, 2001 quarter end. The 2.87% does represent a slight improvement over the 2.84% attained for the first quarter of 2002, a sign that a positive trend is occurring in the current fiscal year. Noninterest expenses increased $78,000 to $1.25 million for the period ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $1.17 million for the period ended June 30, 2001 mainly due to increases in both salaries and other operating expenses. Results for the first half of the year showed net interest income at $3.18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $3.37 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a 5.8% decrease. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of 2.85% has decreased -MORE- compared to the same period in 2001 of 2.91%. This decrease is due to both the decline in loans receivable between periods and the lower yields currently available on alternative uses of funds such as interest earning deposits in correspondent banks and security investments. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $677,000 ($0.46 per diluted share) compared to $908,000 ($0.58 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2001. ROE for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 5.14% compared to 6.80% for the same period of 2001. Total assets at June 30, 2002 of $225.3 million compared to December 31, 2001 assets of $238.4 million reflects a 5.5% decrease. Asset reduction at June 30, 2002 compared to December 31, 2001 was due to a decrease in loan volume, selling long-term fixed rate residential mortgages to the secondary market and continued efforts to reposition the company's liabilities by allowing out of area time deposits to leave at their maturity dates. Shareholder's equity at June 30, 2002 was $26.6 million compared to $26.3 million at December 31, 2001, a 1.1% increase. The company repurchased 7,000 shares of treasury stock, at an average cost of $15.69, for a total cost of approximately $110,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. These repurchases help leverage Northeast Indiana Bancorp's remaining equity and tend to improve return on shareholder's equity. Northeast Indiana Bancorp has approximately 70,000 shares that may be repurchased under the current stock repurchase program, which was previously announced. The book value of NEIB's stock was $17.14 per share as of June 30, 2002. The number of outstanding shares was 1,549,743. The last reported trade of the stock on July 15, 2002 was $14.30 per share.
