                            NORTHWEST INDIANA BANCORP
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NorthWest
Indiana Bancorp (the Company), its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank SB (the
Bank), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company has no other
business activity other than being a holding company for the Bank. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the balance sheets of the
Company as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the statements of income
and changes in stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.
The income reported for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 is not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

         The Bank grants residential, commercial real estate, commercial
business and installment loans to customers in its primary market area of Lake
County, in northwest Indiana. Substantially all loans are secured by specific
items of collateral including residences, business assets and consumer assets.

NOTE 3 - RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain amounts reported in the December 31, 1996 consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 1997
presentation. All reclassifications are of a normal recurring nature.

NOTE 4 - CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

         The balance sheet of December 31, 1996 has been taken from the audited
financial statements at that date.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         The Bank is a party to financial instruments in the normal course of
business to meet financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure
to fluctuating interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments
to make loans and standby letters of credit.

         Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Bank uses the same credit policy to make such commitments as it uses for
on-balance-sheet items.

         At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, commitments to make loans
totaled $42.3 million and $34.1 million, respectively and standby letters of
credit totaled $323 thousand and $519 thousand, respectively. At June 30, 1997,
$32.4 million (77%) of the commitments were at variable rates.

         Since commitments to make loans may expire without being used, the
amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Collateral
obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using management's credit
evaluation of the borrower, and may include accounts receivable, inventory,
property, land and other items.

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

         The weighted average number of shares used in the calculation of
earnings per share during the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were
1,381,421 and 1,379,500, respectively. The weighted average number of shares
used in the calculation of earnings per share during the six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996 were 1,380,851 and 1,379,470, respectively. The effect of
common stock equivalents is not material in these periods.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

     NorthWest Indiana Bancorp, an Indiana corporation (NWIB or the Company), is
the holding company for Peoples Bank SB (the Bank), an Indiana stock savings
bank. Peoples Bank SB is a wholly owned subsidiary of NWIB. The Company has no
other business activity other than being the holding company for Peoples Bank
SB.

     At June 30, 1997, the Company had total assets of $303.9 million and total
deposits of $260.6 million. Stockholders' equity totaled $28.6 million or 9.4%
of total assets, with book value per share at $20.73. The annualized return on
average assets (ROA) was 1.13%, while the annualized return on average
stockholders' equity (ROE) was 11.83%, for the six month period.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         During the six months ended June 30, 1997, total assets increased by
$4.4 million (1.5%), with interest-earning assets increasing by $3.3 million
(1.2%). Total loans increased by $9.0 million (3.7%). The increase in loans was
funded with deposit growth of $4.2 million (1.6%) and maturing securities as the
securities held-to-maturity portfolio decreased $5.5 million (13.7%). At June
30, 1997, interest-earning assets totaled $289.1 million and represented 95.1%
of total assets. Loans receivable totaled $253.7 million and represented 87.8%
of interest-earning assets, 83.5% of total assets and 97.3% of total deposits.
The loan portfolio includes $15.2 million (6.0%) in construction and development
loans, $153.6 million (60.6%) in residential mortgage loans, $60.5 million
(23.8%) in commercial and multifamily real estate loans, $5.5 million (2.2%) in
consumer loans, and $18.9 million (7.4%) in commercial business and other loans.
Adjustable rate loans comprised 64% of the total investment in loans at June 30,
1997.

         The Bank is primarily a portfolio lender. Mortgage banking activities
are limited to the sale of fixed rate mortgage loans with contractual maturities
of thirty years. These loans are sold in the secondary market because of the
additional exposure to interest rate risk associated with this product. The Bank
retains the servicing on all loans sold in the secondary market. During the six
months ending June 30, 1997, the Bank sold $917 thousand in fixed rate mortgage
loans. The amount includes 10 loans. Net gains realized from the sales totaled
$14 thousand. Mortgage loan servicing income totaled $10 thousand. At June 30,
1997, the Bank had no loans classified as held for sale.

         The primary objective of the investment portfolio is to provide for the
liquidity needs of the Bank and to contribute to profitability by providing a
stable flow of dependable earnings. Funds are generally invested in federal
funds, interest-bearing balances in financial institutions, U.S. government
securities and federal agency obligations. Interest-bearing balances in
financial institutions include overnight deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Indianapolis (FHLBI). Investments are generally for terms ranging from one
day to five years. At June 30, 1997, the investment portfolio totaled $34.5
million and was invested as follows: 64.0% in U.S. government

agency debt securities, 26.2% in U.S. government debt securities, 5.0% in U.S.
government agency mortgage-backed securities, and 4.8% in FHLB common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, investment securities decreased by
$5.5 million (13.7%) as funds were used to provide funding for loan portfolio
growth.

         Management believes that the credit risk profile of the earning asset
portfolio is relatively low. At June 30, 1997, the Bank had $1.4 million in
non-performing loans. The June 30, 1997 balance includes $726 thousand in loans
accounted for on a non-accrual basis and $668 thousand in accruing loans which
were contractually past due 90 days or more. The total of these non-performing
loans represents 0.55% of the total loan portfolio and 0.46% of total assets. At
June 30, 1997, the Bank had $317 thousand in foreclosed real estate. The total
represents 0.10% of total assets.

         The table which follows sets forth information with respect to the
number (#) and balances (Amount) of non-performing assets and related ratios for

         At June 30, 1997, $1.1 million of the Bank's loans were classified as
substandard. The total represents 29 loans. Two loans totaling $20 thousand were
classified as doubtful. There were no loans classified as loss. Management does
not anticipate that any of the non-performing loans or classified loans will
materially impact future operations, liquidity or capital resources. At June 30,
1997, there were no material credits which would cause management to have
serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with loan repayment
terms.
 
         Because some loans may not be repaid in accordance with contractual
agreements an allowance for loan losses (ALL) has been maintained. While
management may periodically allocate portions of the allowance for specific
problem loans, the entire allowance is available to absorb all credit losses
that arise from the loan portfolio and is not segregated for, or allocated to,
any particular loan or group of loans. During the six months ended June 30,
1997, additions to the ALL account totaled $81 thousand compared to $33 thousand
for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Charge-offs net of recoveries totaled $5
thousand during the current period. The amount provided during the current
period was based on loan activity, current economic conditions and management's
assessment of portfolio risk. At June 30, 1997, the balance in the ALL account
totaled $3.0 million, which is considered adequate by management after
evaluation of the loan portfolio, past experience and current economic and
market conditions.

         The table below sets forth the allocation of the ALL and related ratios
on the dates indicated. The amounts are in thousands (000's). The percent
columns represent the percentage of loans in each category to total loans.

</TABLE>

         At June 30, 1997, no portion of the ALL was allocated to impaired loan
balances as the Bank had no loans considered to be impaired loans as of, or for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. The allocation of the ALL reflects
consideration of the facts and circumstances that affect the repayment of
individual loans, as well as, loans which have been pooled as of the evaluation
date.

         Deposits are the major source of funds for lending and other investment
purposes. At June 30, 1997, deposits totaled $260.6 million . During the six
months ending June 30, 1997, deposit growth totaled $4.2 million ( 1.6%).
Savings accounts decreased $16 thousand (0.0%), checking accounts increased $1.2
million (3.3%), money market deposit accounts (MMDA's) increased $597 thousand
(2.7%) and certificates of deposit increased by $2.4 


                                       9
<PAGE>   12


million (1.5%). At June 30, 1997, the deposit base was comprised of 16.7%
savings accounts, 8.8% MMDA's, 14.6% checking accounts and 59.9% certificates of
deposit. At June 30, 1997, repurchase agreements totaled $3.5 million. Other
short-term borrowings totaled $8.4 million, of which $7.0 million represents a
variable rate advance from the FHLBI. The Company had no long-term borrowings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Liquidity refers to the ability to generate sufficient cash to fund
current loan demand, meet savings deposit withdrawals and pay operating
expenses. Changes in the liquidity position result from operating, investing and
financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities are generally the
cash effects of transactions and other events that enter into the determination
of net income. The primary investing activities include loan originations, loan
repayments, investment in interest-bearing deposits in other financial
institutions, and the purchase and maturity of investment securities. Financing
activities focus almost entirely on the generation of customer deposits. In
addition, the Bank utilizes short-term borrowings, i.e., repurchase agreements
and advances from the FHLBI as a source of funds.

         During the six months ended June 30, 1997, cash and cash equivalents
increased by $1.6 million compared to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of
$4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The primary sources of cash
were proceeds from maturities of securities held-to-maturity, deposit growth and
cash provided by operating activities. The primary uses of cash were the funding
of loan growth, the payment of common stock dividends and the reduction of
short-term borrowings. During the current period cash provided by operating
activities totaled $2.4 million compared to $1.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. Cash outflows from investing activities totaled $3.7
million reflecting the increase in loan originations during the period. Cash
flows from financing activities totaled $2.9 million as deposit growth was used
to fund loan growth.

         At June 30, 1997, outstanding commitments to fund loans totaled $42.3
million. Approximately 77% of the commitments were at variable rates. The Bank
has sufficient cash flow and borrowing capacity to fund outstanding commitments
and to maintain proper levels of liquidity.

         Management strongly believes that safety and soundness is enhanced by
maintaining a high level of capital. During the six months ended June 30, 1997,
stockholders' equity increased by $817 thousand (2.9%). The increase resulted
primarily from earnings of $1.7 million during the period. In addition, $18
thousand represents proceeds from the exercise of 1,844 stock options. The
reduction of $884 thousand represents cash dividends for the six month period.

         The Company is subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the FRB), and the Bank is
subject to risk-based capital guidelines adopted by the FDIC. As applied to the
Company and the Bank, the FRB and FDIC capital requirements are substantially
identical. The Company and the Bank are required to maintain a total risk-based
capital ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier I capital. In addition, the FRB
and FDIC regulations provide for a minimum Tier I leverage ratio (Tier I capital
to adjusted total assets) of 3% for financial institutions that meet certain
specified criteria, including that they have the 


                                       10
<PAGE>   13

highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing or anticipating significant
growth. All other financial institutions are required to maintain a Tier I
leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional cushion of at least one to two percent.

         The following table shows that, at June 30, 1997, the Company's capital
exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 1997, the Company's
and the Bank's regulatory capital ratios were identical. The dollar amounts are
in millions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THE
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

         Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $844 thousand
compared to $763 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, an increase of
$81 thousand (10.6%). The earnings represent a ROA of 1.12% for the current
quarter compared to 1.05% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The ROE was
11.94% for the current quarter compared to 10.94% for the quarter ended June 30,
1996.

         Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $3.0
million, up $202 thousand (7.3%) from $2.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. The increase in net interest income was due to the growth in
average interest-earning assets, increasing yields on interest-earning assets
and a stable cost of funds. Interest-earning assets averaged $287.2 million for
the current quarter, up $8.8 million (3.1%) from $278.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. The net interest margin for the current quarter was
3.94% compared to 3.81% for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase
was due to higher yields on interest-earning assets and a stable cost of funds.
During the current quarter total interest income increased by $321 thousand
(5.8%) while total interest expense increased by $120 thousand (4.3%).

         During the three months ended June 30, 1997, interest income from loans
increased by $447 thousand (9.3%) compared to the three months ended June 30,
1996. The increase was due to an increase in yield and an increase in average
daily balances for the loan portfolio. The weighted average yield on loans
outstanding was 8.40% for the current quarter compared to 8.36% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. Higher average loan balances have contributed to the
increase in interest income as loans averaged $249.7 million for the current
quarter, up $20.3 million (8.9%) from $229.4 for the three months ended June 30,
1996. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, interest income on
investments and other deposits decreased by $126 thousand (17.1%) compared to
the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The decrease was due to lower average balances
as maturing securities and short-


                                       11

term investments were used to fund loan growth. Securities and other deposits
averaged $37.4 million for the current quarter, down $11.6 million (23.6%) from
$49.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The weighted average
yield on investments and other deposits was 6.54% for the quarter ended June 30,
1997 compared to 6.02% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The combined
weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets was 8.15% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to 7.95% for the quarter ended June 30,
1996.

         Interest expense for deposits increased by $72 thousand (2.6%) during
the current quarter compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996. The
increase was due to an increase in average daily balances. The weighted average
rate paid on deposits for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was 4.30%
compared to 4.29% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Deposit balances averaged
$261.3 million for the current quarter, up $6.4 million (2.5%) from $254.9 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996. Interest expense on short-term borrowings
increased by $48 thousand (111.6%) during the current quarter due to increased
cost and higher average daily balances. The weighted average cost of short-term
borrowings was 5.11% for the current quarter compared to 4.50% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996. Borrowed funds averaged $7.1 million during the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, up $3.2 million (82.1%) from $3.9 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996. The combined weighted average rate paid on deposits
and borrowings for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was 4.31% compared to 4.30%
for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The impact of the 8.15% return on
interest-earning assets and the 4.31% cost of funds resulted in an interest rate
spread of 3.84% for the current quarter compared to 3.65% for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996.

         Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $216
thousand, up $51 thousand (30.9%) from $165 thousand for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. The increase was due to gains from the sale of fixed rate loans
and increased income from fees and service charges.

         Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was $1.7
million, up $114 thousand (7.0%) from $1.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1996. In general, increases in noninterest expense have resulted from
the expansion of the Bank's operations and the investment in new technologies.
The increase in compensation and benefits was due to additional staffing and
annual salary increases. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was due
to the operation of the new Merrillville, Indiana, branch facility which opened
during September 1996, and depreciation related to investments in technology.
Other expense changes were due to standard increases in bank operations. The
decrease in the federal insurance premium reflects lower premiums for Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) deposits due to the recapitalization of SAIF
during 1996. The Company's efficiency ratio, for the current quarter was 55.0%
compared to 55.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The ratio is determined
by dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and
total noninterest income for the period.

         Income tax expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 totaled
$550 thousand compared to $507 thousand for the three months ended June 30,
1996, an increase of $43 thousand (8.5%). The increase was due to an increase in
pretax earnings during the current quarter.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

         Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.7 million
compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an increase of
$215 thousand (14.6%). The earnings represent a ROA of 1.13% for the current
period compared to 1.03% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The ROE was
11.83% for the current period compared to 10.62% for the six months ended June
30, 1996.

         Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $5.8
million, up $442 thousand (8.2%) from $5.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996. The increase in net interest income was due to the growth in average
interest-earning assets, increasing yields on interest-earning assets and a
lower cost of funds. Interest-earning assets averaged $284.9 million for the
current period, up $9.2 million (3.3%) from $275.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. The net interest margin for the current period was 3.92%
compared to 3.77% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase was due
to higher yields on interest-earning assets and a lower cost of funds. During
the current six months total interest income increased by $543 thousand (4.9%)
while total interest expense increased by $101 thousand (1.8%).

         During the six months ended June 30, 1997, interest income from loans
increased by $797 thousand (8.4%) compared to the six months ended June 30,
1996. The increase was due to an increase in average daily balances for the loan
portfolio. The weighted average yield on loans outstanding was 8.35% for the
current period compared to 8.38% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Higher
average loan balances have contributed to the increase in interest income as
loans averaged $246.0 million for the current period, up $19.8 million (8.8%)
from $226.2 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. During the six months ended
June 30, 1997, interest income on investments and other deposits decreased by
$254 thousand (16.9%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
decrease was due to lower average balances as maturing securities and short-term
investments were used to fund loan growth. Securities and other deposits
averaged $38.8 million for the current period, down $10.7 million (21.6%) from
$49.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The weighted average yield
on investments and other deposits was 6.42% for the six months ended June 30,
1997 compared to 6.06% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The combined
weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets was 8.09% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 7.97% for the six months ended June 30,
1996.

         Interest expense for deposits remained stable, increasing by $1
thousand (0.0%) during the current period compared to the six months ended June
30, 1996. The weighted average rate paid on deposits for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was 4.27% compared to 4.37% for the six months ended June 30,
1996. Deposit balances averaged $259.3 million for the current period, up $7.0
million (2.8%) from $252.3 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Interest
expense on short-term borrowings increased by $100 thousand (126.6%) during the
current period due to increased cost and higher average daily balances. The
weighted average cost of short-term borrowings was 5.01% for the current six
months compared to 4.63% for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Borrowed funds
averaged $7.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 1997, up $3.7 million
(108.8%) from $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The combined
weighted average rate paid on deposits and borrowings for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was 4.27% compared to 4.37% for the six months ended June

         Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $556

June 30, 1996. During the current period income from fees and service charges
increased $72 thousand (30.1%), while income from Trust operations increased by
$47 thousand (43.5%). In addition, gains from the sale of fixed rate loans,
foreclosed real estate and other real estate properties held by the Bank
contributed to the increase in noninterest income.

         Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $3.5
million, up $257 thousand (7.9%) from $3.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996. The increase in compensation and benefits was due to additional
staffing and annual salary increases. The increase in occupancy and equipment
expense was due to the operation of the new Merrillville, Indiana, branch
facility which opened during September 1996, and depreciation related to
investments in technology. Other expense changes were due to standard increases
in bank operations. The decrease in the federal insurance premium reflects lower
premiums for Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) deposits due to the

million compared to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, an
