PART I
Item 1. Business
The Corporation. The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation (the “Corporation”) was formed as an Indiana corporation on January 29, 1993, for the purpose of forming a banking institution in the Indianapolis, Indiana metropolitan area and holding all of the shares of common stock of such banking institution. The Corporation formed a national banking association named “The National Bank of Indianapolis” (the “Bank”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
The Bank opened for business to the public on December 20, 1993. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Bank currently conducts its business through eleven offices, including its downtown headquarters located at 107 North Pennsylvania Street in Indianapolis, and its neighborhood bank offices located at:
   
84th Street and Ditch Road in northwestern Marion County;
 
   
82nd Street and Bash Road in northeastern Marion County;
 
   
Chamber of Commerce Building on North Meridian Street;
 
   
One America Office Complex in downtown Indianapolis;
 
   
49th Street and North Pennsylvania Street in northern Marion County;
 
   
Keystone Avenue and East Carmel Drive in Hamilton County;
 
   
106th Street and Michigan Road in Hamilton County;
 
   
Smith Valley Road and S.R. 135 in Johnson County;
 
   
2714 East 146th Street in Hamilton County; and
 
   
2410 Harleston Street in Hamilton County.
The Bank provides a full range of deposit, credit, and money management services to its targeted market, which is small to medium size businesses, affluent executive and professional individuals, and not-for-profit organizations. The Bank has full trust powers.
Management initially sought to position the Bank to capitalize on the customer disruption, dissatisfaction, and turn-over which it believed had resulted from the acquisition of the three largest commercial banks located in Indianapolis by out-of-state holding companies. Management is now focused on serving the local markets with an organization which is not owned by an out-of-state company and whose decisions are made locally. On December 31, 2008, the Corporation had consolidated total assets of $1.118 billion and total deposits of $966 million.
Management believes that the key ingredients in the growth of the Bank have been a well-executed business plan, an experienced Board of Directors and management team and a seasoned group of bank employees. The basic strategy of the Bank continues to emphasize the delivery of highly personalized services to the target client base with an emphasis on quick response and financial expertise.

Business Plan Overview. The business plan of the Bank is based on being a strong, locally owned bank providing superior service to a defined group of customers, which are primarily corporations with annual sales under $50 million, executives, professionals, and not-for-profit organizations. The Bank provides highly personalized banking services with an emphasis on knowledge of the particular financial needs and objectives of its clients and quick response to customer requests. Because the management of the Bank is located in Indianapolis, all credit and related decisions are made locally, thereby facilitating prompt response. The Bank emphasizes both highly personalized service at the customer’s convenience and non-traditional delivery services that do not require customers to frequent the Bank. This personal contact has become a trademark of the Bank and a key means of differentiating the Bank from other financial service providers.
The Bank offers a broad range of deposit services typically available from most banks and savings associations, including interest and non-interest bearing checking accounts, savings and other kinds of deposits of various types (ranging from daily money market accounts to longer term certificates of deposit). The Bank has emphasized paying competitive interest rates on deposit products.
The Bank also offers a full range of credit services, including commercial loans (such as lines of credit, term loans, refinancings, etc.), personal lines of credit, direct installment consumer loans, credit card loans, residential mortgage loans, construction loans, and letters of credit. Lending strategies focus primarily on commercial loans to small and medium size businesses as well as personal loans to executives and professionals.
The residential mortgage lending area of the Bank offers conforming, jumbo, portfolio, and Community Reinvestment Act mortgage products. The Bank utilizes secondary market channels it has developed for sale of those mortgage products described above. Secondary market channels include FNMA, as well as private investors identified through wholesale entities. Consumer lending is directed to executive and professional clients through residential mortgages, credit cards, and personal lines of credit to include home equity loans.
The Bank has a full-service Wealth Management division, which offers trust, estate, retirement and money management services.
The Market. The Bank derives a substantial proportion of its business from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”), Indiana area.
Competition. The Bank’s service area is highly competitive. There are numerous financial institutions operating in the Indianapolis MSA marketplace, which provide strong competition to the Bank. In addition to the challenge of attracting and retaining customers for traditional banking services offered by commercial bank competitors, significant competition also comes from savings and loans associations, credit unions, finance companies, insurance companies, mortgage companies, securities and brokerage firms, money market mutual funds, loan production offices, and other providers of financial services in the area. These competitors, with focused products targeted at highly profitable customer segments, compete across geographic boundaries and provide customers increasing access to meaningful alternatives to banking services in nearly all significant products. The increasingly competitive environment is a result primarily of changes in regulations, changes in technology, product delivery systems and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers. These competitive trends are likely to continue. The Bank’s ability to maintain its historical levels of financial performance will depend in part on the Bank’s ability over time to expand its scope of available financial services as needed to meet the needs and demands of its customers. The Bank competes in this marketplace primarily on the basis of highly personalized service, responsive decision making, and competitive pricing.

Employees. The Corporation and the Bank has 252 employees, of which 241 are full-time equivalent employees. The Bank has employed persons with substantial experience in the Indianapolis MSA banking market. The average banking experience level for all Bank employees is in excess of 15 years.
Lending Activity. The Bank’s lending strategy emphasizes a high quality, well-diversified loan portfolio. The Bank’s principal lending categories are commercial, commercial mortgage, residential mortgage, private banking/personal, and home equity. Commercial loans include loans for working capital, machinery and equipment purchases, premises and equipment acquisitions and other corporate needs. Residential mortgage lending includes loans on first mortgage residential properties. Private banking loans include secured and unsecured personal lines of credit as well as home equity loans.
Commercial loans typically entail a thorough analysis of the borrower and its management, limited review of its industry, current and projected financial condition and other factors. Credit analysis involves cash flow analysis, collateral, the type of loan, loan maturity, terms and conditions, and various loan-to-value ratios as they relate to loan policy. The Bank typically requires commercial borrowers to have annual financial statements prepared by independent accountants and may require such financial statements to be audited or reviewed by accountants. The Bank generally requires appraisals or evaluations in connection with loans secured by real estate. Such appraisals or evaluations are usually obtained prior to the time funds are advanced. The Bank also often requires personal guarantees from principals involved with closely-held corporate borrowers.
Generally, the Bank requires loan applications or personal financial statements from its personal borrowers on loans that the Bank originates. Loan officers complete a debt to income analysis, an analysis of the borrower’s liquidity, and an analysis of collateral, if appropriate, that should meet established standards of lending policy.
The Bank maintains a comprehensive loan policy that establishes guidelines with respect to all categories of lending. In addition, loan policy sets forth lending authority for each loan officer. The Loan Committee of the Bank reviews all loans in excess of $500,000. Any loan in excess of a lending officer’s lending authority, up to $2,000,000, must receive the approval of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Lending Officer (“CLO”), Chief Credit Officer, Commercial Lending Manager, or Chief Client Officer. Loans in excess of $2,000,000 but less than $6,000,000 must be approved by the Loan Committee prior to the Bank making such loan. The Board of Directors Loan Policy Committee is not required to approve loans unless they are above $6,000,000. Commercial loans are assigned a numerical rating based on creditworthiness and are monitored for improvement or deterioration. Consumer loans are monitored by delinquency trends. The consumer portfolios are assigned an average weighted risk grade based on specific risk characteristics. Loans are made primarily in the Bank’s designated market area.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
Both the Corporation and the Bank operate in highly regulated environments and are subject to supervision and regulation by several governmental regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”), the OCC, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The laws and regulations established by these agencies are generally intended to protect depositors, not shareholders. Changes in applicable laws, regulations, governmental policies, income tax laws and accounting principles may have a material effect on our business and prospects. The following summary is qualified by reference to the statutory and regulatory provisions discussed.

Table of Contents

THE CORPORATION
The Bank Holding Company Act. Because the Corporation owns all of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank, it is registered as a bank holding company under the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and required to file periodic reports of its operations and any additional information that the Federal Reserve may require.
Investments, Control, and Activities. With some limited exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring another bank holding company or acquiring more than five percent of the voting shares of a bank (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares).
Bank holding companies are prohibited, with certain limited exceptions, from engaging in activities other than those of banking or of managing or controlling banks. They are also prohibited from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of voting shares or assets of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company, other than subsidiary companies furnishing services to or performing services for their subsidiaries, and other subsidiaries engaged in activities which the Federal Reserve Board determines to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be incidental to these operations. The Bank Holding Company Act does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of such nonbanking-related activities.
Bank holding companies which meet certain management, capital, and CRA standards may elect to become a financial holding company, which would allow them to engage in a substantially broader range of nonbanking activities than is permitted for a bank holding company, including insurance underwriting and making merchant banking investments in commercial and financial companies.
The Corporation does not currently plan to engage in any activity other than owning the stock of the Bank.
Capital Adequacy Guidelines for Bank Holding Companies. The Federal Reserve, as the regulatory authority for bank holding companies, has adopted capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies. Bank holding companies with assets in excess of $500 million must comply with the Federal Reserve’s risk-based capital guidelines which require a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities such as standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total required capital must be “Tier 1 capital,” consisting principally of common stockholders’ equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less certain goodwill items. The remainder (“Tier 2 capital”) may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve has adopted a Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio under which the bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets of 3% in the case of bank holding companies which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum.

Certain regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation as of December 31, 2008 are shown below:
         
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
    8.8 %
 
       
Total Risk Based Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
    10.6 %
 
       
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio
    7.5 %
Dividends. The Federal Reserve’s policy is that a bank holding company experiencing earnings weakness should not pay cash dividends exceeding its net income or which could only be funded in ways that weaken the bank holding company’s financial health, such as by borrowing. Additionally, the Federal Reserve possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to prevent or remedy actions that represent unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations. Among these powers is the ability to proscribe the payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies.
Source of Strength. In accordance with Federal Reserve Board policy, the Corporation is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank in circumstances in which the Corporation might not otherwise do so.
THE BANK
General Regulatory Supervision. The Bank is a national bank organized under the laws of the United States of America and is subject to the supervision of the OCC, whose examiners conduct periodic examinations of national banks. The Bank must undergo regular on-site examinations by the OCC and must submit quarterly and annual reports to the OCC concerning its activities and financial condition.
The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) administered by the FDIC and are subject to the FDIC’s rules and regulations respecting the insurance of deposits. See “Deposit Insurance”.
Lending Limits. Under federal law, the total loans and extensions of credit by a national bank to a borrower outstanding at one time and not fully secured may not exceed 15 percent of the bank’s capital and unimpaired surplus. In addition, the total amount of outstanding loans and extensions of credit to any borrower outstanding at one time and fully secured by readily marketable collateral may not exceed 10 percent of the unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus of the bank (this limitation is separate from and in addition to the above limitation). If a loan is secured by United States obligations, such as treasury bills, it is not subject to the bank’s legal lending limit.
Deposit Insurance. As an FDIC-insured institution, the Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system whereby FDIC-insured depository institutions pay insurance premiums at rates based on their risk classification. An institution’s risk classification is assigned based on its capital levels and the level of supervisory concern the institution poses to the regulators. Under the regulations of the FDIC, as presently in effect, insurance assessments range from 0.12% to 0.50% of total deposits for the first quarter 2009 assessment period only (subject to the application of assessment credits, if any, issued by the FDIC in 2008). Effective April 1, 2009, insurance assessments will range from 0.07% to 0.78%, depending on an institution’s risk classification, as well as its unsecured debt, secured liability and brokered deposits. In addition, under an interim rule, the FDIC proposes to impose a 20 basis point emergency special assessment on insured depository institutions on June 30, 2009. The emergency special assessment would be collected on September 30, 2009. The interim rule also authorizes the FDIC to impose an additional emergency special assessment after June 30, 2009, of up to 10 basis points, if necessary to maintain public confidence in federal deposit insurance.

Deposits in the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to a maximum amount, which is generally $250,000 (in effect until December 31, 2009) per depositor subject to aggregation rules. The Bank is also subject to assessment for the Financial Corporation (“FICO”) to service the interest on its bond obligations. The amount assessed on individual institutions, including the Bank, by FICO is in addition to the amount paid for deposit insurance according to the risk-related assessment rate schedule. Increases in deposit insurance premiums or changes in risk classification will increase the Bank’s cost of funds, and it may not be able to pass these costs on to its customers. During 2007, the FDIC began collecting deposit insurance premiums in arrears. The last payment was made by the Bank on December 30, 2008, for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, in the amount of $160,806.
Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. The Bank is subject to limitations on the amount of loans or extensions of credit to, or investments in, or certain other transactions with, affiliates and insiders on the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates. Furthermore, within the foregoing limitations as to amount, each covered transaction must meet specified collateral requirements. Compliance is also required with certain provisions designed to avoid the taking of low quality assets. The Bank is also prohibited from engaging in certain transactions with certain affiliates and insiders unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to such institution or its subsidiaries, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies.
Extensions of credit by the Bank to its executive officers, directors, certain principal shareholders, and their related interests must:
   
be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties; and
 
   
not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.
Dividends. Under federal law, the Bank may pay dividends from its undivided profits in an amount declared by its Board of Directors, subject to prior approval of the OCC if the proposed dividend, when added to all prior dividends declared during the current calendar year, would be greater than the current year’s net income and retained earnings for the previous two calendar years.
Federal law generally prohibits the Bank from paying a dividend to the Corporation if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. The FDIC may prevent an insured bank from paying dividends if the Bank is in default of payment of any assessment due to the FDIC. In addition, payment of dividends by a bank may be prevented by the applicable federal regulatory authority if such payment is determined, by reason of the financial condition of such bank, to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. In addition, the Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve on extensions of credit to the Corporation, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Corporation, and in taking such stock or securities as collateral for loans.
Branching and Acquisitions. Under federal and Indiana law, the Bank may establish an additional banking location anywhere in Indiana. Federal law also allows bank holding companies to acquire banks anywhere in the United States subject to certain state restrictions, and permits an insured bank to merge with an insured bank in another state without regard to whether such merger is prohibited by state law. Additionally, an out-of-state bank may acquire the branches of an insured bank in another state without acquiring the entire bank if the law of the state where the branch is located permits such an acquisition. Bank holding companies may merge existing bank subsidiaries located in different states into one bank.

Table of Contents

Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires that the OCC evaluate the records of the Bank in meeting the credit needs of its local community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility. Failure to adequately meet these criteria could result in the imposition of additional requirements and limitations on the Bank.
Capital Regulations. The OCC has adopted risk-based capital ratio guidelines to which the Bank is subject. The guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations. Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments to four risk weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk.
These guidelines divide a bank’s capital into two tiers. The first tier (Tier 1) includes common equity, certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock (excluding auction rate issues) and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships, subject to certain limitations). Supplementary (Tier 2) capital includes, among other items, cumulative perpetual and long-term limited-life preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, certain hybrid capital instruments, term subordinated debt and the allowance for loan and lease losses, subject to certain limitations, less required deductions. Banks are required to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1 capital. The OCC may, however, set higher capital requirements when a bank’s particular circumstances warrant. Banks experiencing or anticipating significant growth are expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital positions, well above the minimum levels.
In addition, the OCC established guidelines prescribing a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets as specified in the guidelines). These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% for banks that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing or anticipating significant growth. All other banks are required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional cushion of at least 1% to 2% basis points.
Certain actual regulatory capital ratios under the OCC’s risk-based capital guidelines for the Bank at December 31, 2008 are shown below:
         
Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
    8.8 %
 
       
Total Risk-Based Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets
    10.5 %
 
       
Tier 1 Leverage Ratio
    7.5 %

The federal bank regulators, including the OCC, also have issued a joint policy statement to provide guidance on sound practices for managing interest rate risk. The statement sets forth the factors the federal regulatory examiners will use to determine the adequacy of a bank’s capital for interest rate risk. These qualitative factors include the adequacy and effectiveness of the bank’s internal interest rate risk management process and the level of interest rate exposure. Other qualitative factors that will be considered include the size of the bank, the nature and complexity of its activities, the adequacy of its capital and earnings in relation to the bank’s overall risk profile, and its earning exposure to interest rate movements. The interagency supervisory policy statement describes the responsibilities of a bank’s board of directors in implementing a risk management process and the requirements of the bank’s senior management in ensuring the effective management of interest rate risk. Further, the statement specifies the elements that a risk management process must contain.
The OCC has also issued final regulations further revising its risk-based capital standards to include a supervisory framework for measuring market risk. The effect of these regulations is that any bank holding company or bank which has significant exposure to market risk must measure such risk using its own internal model, subject to the requirements contained in the regulations, and must maintain adequate capital to support that exposure. These regulations apply to any bank holding company or bank whose trading activity equals 10% or more of its total assets, or whose trading activity equals $1 billion or more. Examiners may require a bank holding company or bank that does not meet the applicability criteria to comply with the capital requirements if necessary for safety and soundness purposes. These regulations contain supplemental rules to determine qualifying and excess capital, calculate risk-weighted assets, calculate market risk-equivalent assets and calculate risk-based capital ratios adjusted for market risk.
The Bank is also subject to the “prompt corrective action” regulations, which implement a capital-based regulatory scheme designed to promote early intervention for troubled banks. This framework contains five categories of compliance with regulatory capital requirements, including “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized”, and “critically undercapitalized”. As of December 31, 2008, the Bank was qualified as “well capitalized.” It should be noted that a bank’s capital category is determined solely for the purpose of applying the “prompt corrective action” regulations and that the capital category may not constitute an accurate representation of the bank’s overall financial condition or prospects. The degree of regulatory scrutiny of a financial institution increases, and the permissible activities of the institution decrease, as it moves downward through the capital categories. Bank holding companies controlling financial institutions can be required to boost the institutions’ capital and to partially guarantee the institutions’ performance.
Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act. The Federal Reserve adopted final amendments to Regulation CC and its commentary to implement the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (the “Check 21 Act”). To facilitate check truncation and electronic check exchange, the Check 21 Act authorizes a new negotiable instrument called a “substitute check” and provides that a properly prepared substitute check is the legal equivalent of the original check for all purposes. A substitute check is a paper reproduction of the original check that can be processed just like the original check. The Check 21 Act does not require any bank to create substitute checks or to accept checks electronically. The Federal Reserve’s amendments: (i) set forth the requirements of the Check 21 Act that apply to all banks, including those that choose not to create substitute checks; (ii) provide a model disclosure and model notices relating to substitute checks; and (iii) set forth bank endorsement and identification requirements for substitute checks. The amendments also clarify some existing provisions of the rule and commentary.

USA Patriot Act. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA Patriot Act”) is intended to strengthen the ability of U.S. Law Enforcement to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the USA Patriot Act on financial institutions is significant and wide-ranging. The USA 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 of the following matters, among others: money laundering and currency crimes, customer identification verification, cooperation among financial institutions, suspicious activities and currency transaction reporting.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) represents a comprehensive revision of laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting. Among other requirements, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act established: (i) new requirements for audit committees of public companies, including independence, expertise, and responsibilities; (ii) additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the chief executive officers and chief financial officers of reporting companies; (iii) new standards for auditors and regulation of audits; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for reporting companies regarding various matters relating to corporate governance, and (v) new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violation of the securities laws.
Recent Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives to Address Financial and Economic Crises. Congress, the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) and the federal banking regulators, including the FDIC, have taken broad action since early September 2008 to address volatility in the U.S. banking system and financial markets.
In October 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) was enacted. The EESA authorizes Treasury to purchase from financial institutions and their holding companies up to $700 billion in mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and certain other financial instruments, including debt and equity securities issued by financial institutions and their holding companies in a troubled asset relief program (“TARP”). The purpose of TARP is to restore confidence and stability to the U.S. banking system and to encourage financial institutions to increase their lending to customers and to each other. As part of TARP, Treasury has allocated $250 billion towards the Capital Purchase Program. Under the Capital Purchase Program, Treasury will purchase debt or equity securities from participating institutions. Participants in the Capital Purchase Program are subject to executive compensation limits and are encouraged to expand their lending and mortgage loan modifications. The Corporation elected not to participate in this program.
EESA also increased FDIC deposit insurance on most accounts from $100,000 to $250,000. This increase is in place until the end of 2009 and is not covered by deposit insurance premiums currently paid by the banking industry.
Following a systemic risk determination, on October 14, 2008, the FDIC established a Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”). The TLGP includes the Transaction Account Guarantee Program (“TAGP”), which provides unlimited deposit insurance coverage through December 31, 2009 for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts (typically business checking accounts) and certain funds swept into noninterest-bearing savings accounts. Institutions participating in the TAGP pay a 10 basis points fee (annualized) on the balance of each covered account in excess of $250,000, while the extra deposit insurance is in place. The TLGP also includes the Debt Guarantee Program (“DGP”), under which the FDIC guarantees certain senior unsecured debt of FDIC-insured institutions and their holding companies. The unsecured debt must be issued on or after October 14, 2008 and not later than June 30, 2009, and the guarantee is effective through the earlier of the maturity date or June 30, 2012. The DGP coverage limit is generally 125% of the entity’s eligible debt outstanding on September 30, 2008 and scheduled to mature on or before June 30, 2009 or, for certain insured institutions, 2% of their total liabilities as of September 30, 2008. Depending on the term of the debt maturity, the nonrefundable DGP fee ranges from 50 to 100 basis points (annualized) for covered debt outstanding until the earlier of maturity or June 30, 2012. The TAGP and DGP are in effect for all eligible entities, unless the entity opted out on or before December 5, 2008. The Company did not opt out of the TAGP or the DGP, although it does not have any eligible debt and therefore does not currently anticipate paying any premium associated with the DGP.

On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), more commonly known as the economic stimulus or economic recovery package. ARRA includes a wide variety of programs intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health and education needs. In addition, ARRA imposes new executive compensation and corporate governance limits on current and future participants in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program which are in addition to those previously announced by Treasury. The new limits remain in place until the participant has redeemed the preferred stock sold to Treasury, which is now permitted under ARRA without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to Treasury’s consultation with the recipient’s appropriate federal regulator.
Other Regulations
Federal law extensively regulates other various aspects of the banking business such as reserve requirements. Current federal law also requires banks, among other things to make deposited funds available within specified time periods. In addition, with certain exceptions, a bank and a subsidiary may not extend credit, lease or sell property or furnish any services or fix or vary the consideration for the foregoing on the condition that (i) the customer must obtain or provide some additional credit, property or services from, or to, any of them, or (ii) the customer may not obtain some other credit, property or service from a competitor, except to the extent reasonable conditions are imposed to assure the soundness of credit extended.
Interest and other charges collected or contracted by the Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. The Bank’s loan operations are also subject to federal and state laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:
   
Truth-In-Lending Act and state consumer protection laws governing disclosures of credit terms and prohibiting certain practices with regard to consumer borrowers;
 
   
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;
 
   
Equal Credit Opportunity Act and other fair lending laws, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;
 
   
Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978 and Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;
 
   
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; and rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

The deposit operations of the Bank also are subject to the:
   
Customer Information Security Guidelines. The federal bank regulatory agencies have adopted final guidelines (the “Guidelines”) for safeguarding confidential customer information. The Guidelines require each financial institution, under the supervision and ongoing oversight of its Board of Directors, to create a comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information; protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer; and implement response programs for security breaches.
 
   
Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E. The Electronic Funds Transfer Act, which is implemented by Regulation E, governs automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking service.
 
   
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, and the implementing regulations govern consumer financial privacy, provide disclosure requirements and restrict the sharing of certain consumer financial information with other parties.
The federal banking agencies have established guidelines which prescribe standards for depository institutions relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings, compensation fees and benefits, and management compensation. The agencies may require an institution which fails to meet the standards set forth in the guidelines to submit a compliance plan. Failure to submit an acceptable plan or adhere to an accepted plan may be grounds for further enforcement action.
Enforcement Powers. Federal regulatory agencies may assess civil and criminal penalties against depository institutions and certain “institution-affiliated parties”, including management, employees, and agents of a financial institution, as well as independent contractors and consultants such as attorneys and accountants and others who participate in the conduct of the financial institution’s affairs.
In addition, regulators may commence enforcement actions against institutions and institution-affiliated parties. Possible enforcement actions include the termination of deposit insurance. Furthermore, regulators may issue cease-and-desist orders to, among other things, require affirmative action to correct any harm resulting from a violation or practice, including restitution, reimbursement, indemnifications or guarantees against loss. A financial institution may also be ordered to restrict its growth, dispose of certain assets, rescind agreements or contracts, or take other actions as determined by the regulator to be appropriate.
Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies. The Corporation’s earnings are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The Federal Reserve Bank’s monetary policies have had, and are likely to continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy in order, among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have major effects upon the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its open market operations in United States government securities and through its regulation of the discount rate on borrowings of member banks and the reserve requirements against member bank deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature or impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Difficult conditions in the capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations
Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the capital markets and the economy generally. The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than twelve months at unprecedented levels. In many cases, these markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices of, and credit availability to, certain companies without regard to those companies’ underlying financial strength.
Recently, concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market and a declining U.S. real estate market have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and the capital and credit markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated an economic slowdown and national recession. In addition, the fixed-income markets are experiencing a period of extreme volatility which has negatively impacted market liquidity conditions. Initially, the concerns on the part of market participants were focused on the subprime segment of the mortgage-backed securities market. However, these concerns have since expanded to include a broad range of mortgage-and asset-backed and other fixed income securities, including those rated investment grade, the U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, and a wide range of financial institutions and markets, asset classes and sectors.
Factors such as consumer spending, business investment, government spending, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, and inflation all affect the business and economic environment and, ultimately, the amount and profitability of our business. In an economic downturn characterized by higher unemployment, lower family income, lower corporate earnings, lower business investment and lower consumer spending, the demand for our financial products could be adversely affected. Adverse changes in the economy could affect earnings negatively and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The current mortgage crisis and economic slowdown has also raised the possibility of future legislative and regulatory actions in addition to the recent enactment of EESA that could further impact our business. We cannot predict whether or when such actions may occur, or what impact, if any, such actions could have on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There can be no assurance that actions of the U.S. government, Federal Reserve and other governmental and regulatory bodies for the purpose of stabilizing the financial markets will achieve the intended effect
In response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and going concern threats to investment banks and other financial institutions, on October 3, 2008, President Bush signed EESA into law. Pursuant to EESA, the Treasury has the authority to utilize up to $700 billion to purchase distressed assets from financial institutions or infuse capital into financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing the financial markets. The Treasury announced the Capital Purchase Program under EESA pursuant to which it has purchased and will continue to purchase senior preferred stock in participating financial institutions such as the Company. There can be no assurance, however, as to the actual impact that EESA, including the Capital Purchase Program and the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Repurchase Program, will have on the financial markets or on us. The failure of these programs to help stabilize the financial markets and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, access to credit or the trading price of our common stock.
The federal government, Federal Reserve and other governmental and regulatory bodies have taken or are considering taking other actions to address the financial crisis. There can be no assurance as to what impact such actions will have on the financial markets, including the extreme levels of volatility currently being experienced. Such continued volatility could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, or the trading price of our common stock.
We may be required to pay significantly higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) premiums in the future
Recent insured institution failures, as well as deterioration in banking and economic conditions, have significantly increased FDIC loss provisions, resulting in a decline in the designated reserve ratio to historical lows. The FDIC expects a higher rate of insured institution failures in the next few years compared to recent years; thus, the reserve ratio may continue to decline. In addition, EESA temporarily increased the limit on FDIC coverage to $250,000 through December 31, 2009. These developments will cause the premiums assessed to us by the FDIC to increase.
On December 16, 2008, the FDIC Board of Directors determined deposit insurance assessment rates for the first quarter of 2009 at 12 to 14 basis points per $100 of deposits. Beginning April 1, 2009, the rates will increase to 12 to 16 basis points per $100 of deposits. Additionally, on February 27, 2009, the FDIC announced an interim rule imposing a 20 basis point special emergency assessment on June 30, 2009, payable September 30, 2009. The interim rule also allows the FDIC to impose a special emergency assessment after June 30, 2009, of up to 10 basis points if necessary to maintain public confidence in FDIC insurance. These higher FDIC assessment rates and special assessments could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Recent negative developments in the financial industry and the credit markets may subject us to additional regulation
As a result of the recent global financial crisis, the potential exists for new federal or state laws and regulations regarding lending and funding practices and liquidity standards to be promulgated, and bank regulatory agencies are expected to be active in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations, including the expected issuance of many formal enforcement orders. Negative developments in the financial industry and the domestic and international credit markets, and the impact of new legislation in response to those developments, may negatively impact our operations by restricting our business operations, including our ability to originate or sell loans, and may adversely impact our financial performance.
The Corporation Is Subject To Interest Rate Risk
Interest and fees on loans and securities, net of interest paid on deposits and borrowings, are a large part of the Corporation’s net income. Interest rates are key drivers of the Corporation’s net interest margin and subject to many factors beyond the control of management. As interest rates change, net interest income is affected. Rapid increases in interest rates in the future could result in interest expense increasing faster than interest income because of mismatches in financial instrument maturities. Further, substantially higher interest rates generally reduce loan demand and may result in slower loan growth. Decreases or increases in interest rates could have a negative effect on the spreads between the interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid on liabilities and therefore, decrease net interest income.
The Corporation Is Subject To Lending Risk
There are inherent risks associated with the Corporation’s lending activities. These risks include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and changes in the economic conditions in the markets where the Corporation operates as well as those across Indiana and the United States. Increases in interest rates and/or weakening economic conditions could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of the collateral securing these loans. The Corporation is also subject to various laws and regulations that affect its lending activities. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could subject the Corporation to regulatory enforcement action that could result in the assessment of significant civil money penalties against the Corporation.

The Corporation’s Allowance for Loan Losses May Be Insufficient
The Corporation maintains an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, that represents management’s best estimate of probable losses that are inherent within the existing portfolio of loans. The level of the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of industry concentrations; specific credit risks; loan loss experience; current loan portfolio quality; present economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Corporation to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of the Corporation’s control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, the Corporation will need additional provisions to increase the allowance for loan losses. Any increases in the allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital, and may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Corporation Operates In A Highly Competitive Industry And Market Area
The Corporation faces substantial competition in all areas of its operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and may have more financial resources. Such competitors include banks and many other types of financial institutions, including, without limitation, savings and loans, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, factoring companies and other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation. Banks, securities firms and insurance companies can merge under the umbrella of a financial holding company, which can offer virtually any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting) and merchant banking. Also, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Many of the Corporation’s competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures. Additionally, due to their size, many competitors may be able to achieve economies of scale and, as a result, may offer a broader range of products and services as well as better pricing for those products and services than the Corporation can.
The Corporation’s ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including, among other things:
   
The ability to develop, maintain and build upon long-term customer relationships based on top quality service, and safe, sound assets.
 
   
The ability to expand the Corporation’s market position.
 
   
The scope, relevance and pricing of products and services offered to meet customer needs and demands.
 
   
The rate at which the Corporation introduces new products and services relative to its competitors.
 
   
Customer satisfaction with the Corporation’s level of service.
 
   
Industry and general economic trends.
Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken the Corporation’s competitive position, which could adversely affect the Corporation’s growth and profitability, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Corporation Is Subject To Extensive Government Regulation And Supervision
The Corporation, primarily through the Bank, is subject to extensive federal regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not shareholders. These regulations affect the Corporation’s lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, and growth, among other things. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could affect the Corporation in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject the Corporation to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products the Corporation may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations. While the Corporation has policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur.
The Corporation’s Controls And Procedures May Fail Or Be Circumvented
Management regularly reviews and updates the Corporation’s internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of the Corporation’s controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Corporation Is Dependent On Certain Key Management And Staff
The Corporation relies on key personnel to manage and operate its business. The loss of key staff may adversely affect our ability to maintain and manage these portfolios effectively, which could negatively affect our revenues. In addition, loss of key personnel could result in increased recruiting and hiring expenses, which could cause a decrease in the Corporation’s net income.
The Corporation’s Information Systems May Experience An Interruption Or Breach In Security
The Corporation relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in the Corporation’s customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While the Corporation has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions or security breaches of the Corporation’s information systems could damage the Corporation’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject the Corporation to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose the Corporation to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Corporation Has Opened New Offices
The Corporation has placed a strategic emphasis on expanding the Bank’s banking office network. Executing this strategy carries risks of slower than anticipated growth in the new offices, which require a significant investment of both financial and personnel resources. Lower than expected loan and deposit growth in new offices can decrease anticipated revenues and net income generated by those offices, and opening new offices could result in more additional expenses than anticipated and divert resources from current core operations.
The geographic concentration of our markets makes our business highly susceptible to local economic conditions
Unlike larger banking organizations that are more geographically diversified, our operations are currently concentrated in four counties located in central Indiana. As a result of this geographic concentration, our financial results depend largely upon economic conditions in these market areas. Deterioration in economic conditions in our market could result in one or more of the following:
   
an increase in loan delinquencies;
 
   
an increase in problem assets and foreclosures;
 
   
a decrease in the demand for our products and services; and
 
   
a decrease in the value of collateral for loans, especially real estate, in turn reducing customers’ borrowing power, the value of assets associated with problem loans and collateral coverage.
Future growth or operating results may require the Corporation to raise additional capital but that capital may not be available or it may be dilutive
The Corporation is required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations. To the extent the Corporation’s future operating results erode capital or the Corporation elects to expand through loan growth or acquisition it may be required to raise capital. The Corporation’s ability to raise capital will depend on conditions in the capital markets, which are outside of its control, and on the Corporation’s financial performance. Accordingly, the Corporation cannot be assured of its ability to raise capital when needed or on favorable terms. If the Corporation cannot raise additional capital when needed, it will be subject to increased regulatory supervision and the imposition of restrictions on its growth and business. These could negatively impact the Corporation’s ability to operate or further expand its operations through acquisitions or the establishment of additional branches and may result in increases in operating expenses and reductions in revenues that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

The Corporation Continually Encounters Technological Change
The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. The Corporation’s future success depends, in part, upon its ability to address the needs of its customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in the Corporation’s operations. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on the Corporation’s business and, in turn, the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Shares of the common stock of the Corporation are not traded on any national or regional exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Accordingly, there is no established market for the common stock. There are occasional trades as a result of private negotiations which do not always involve a broker or a dealer. The table below lists the high and low prices per share, of which management is aware, during 2008 and 2007.
                                 
    Price per Share  
    High     Low  
Quarter   2008     2007     2008     2007  
First Quarter
  $ 53.93     $ 48.21     $ 52.22     $ 47.38  
Second Quarter
  $ 51.80     $ 49.87     $ 50.92     $ 48.67  
Third Quarter
  $ 52.29     $ 50.41     $ 51.12     $ 49.78  
Fourth Quarter
  $ 52.36     $ 53.02     $ 38.18     $ 52.22  
There may have been other trades at other prices of which management is not aware. Management does not have knowledge of the price paid in all transactions and has not verified the accuracy of those prices that have been reported to it. Because of the lack of an established market for the common shares of the Corporation, these prices would not necessarily reflect the prices which the shares would trade in an active market.
The Corporation had 678 shareholders on record as of March 13, 2009.
The Corporation has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its shares of common stock since its organization in 1993. The Corporation and the Bank anticipate that earnings will be retained to finance the Bank’s growth in the immediate future. Future dividend payments by the Corporation, if any, will be dependent upon dividends paid by the Bank, which are subject to regulatory limitations, earnings, general economic conditions, financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors as may be appropriate in determining dividend policy.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Corporation sold common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options to employees and directors in the aggregate of 10,400 shares for $242,200. As previously reported in the Corporation’s prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Corporation sold pursuant to the exercise by employees and directors of stock options an aggregate of 10,500 shares for $274,700 during the third quarter of 2008, an aggregate of 5,800 shares for $104,200 during the second quarter of 2008, and an aggregate of 2,800 shares for $46,000 during the first quarter of 2008. All of these shares were sold in private placements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In 2003, the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized and announced a repurchase program entitled “Program One” and “Program Two”. Program One covers employees and directors and was initially set to expire December 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of Program One until December 31, 2008, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors and authorized an additional $1,900,000 to be allocated to Program One. Under Program One, the Corporation may purchase in individually negotiated transactions its shares from employees and directors who wish to sell their stock. Program Two covers all other shareholders and was set to expire December 2005, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of Program Two until December 31, 2008, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, and authorized an additional $2,600,000 to be allocated to Program Two. Under Program Two, the Corporation may purchase in individually negotiated transactions its shares from shareholders who wish to sell.
On July 17, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized an increase of $200,000 to Program One, and a decrease of $200,000 to Program Two.
On September 18, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Corporation voted to merge Program One and Program Two stock repurchase programs of the Corporation. In addition, the Board of Directors authorized the allocation of an additional $500,000 to the merged stock repurchase program. Under the resulting stock repurchase program, the Corporation may repurchase its shares in individually negotiated transactions from time to time as shares become available. The Corporation will fund purchases under the repurchase program from available working capital. The stock repurchase program does not require the Corporation to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Corporation at any time without prior notice. The repurchase program would have terminated on December 31, 2008, but was terminated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on November 20, 2008.
On November 20, 2008, the Board of adopted a new three-year stock repurchase program for directors and employees. Under the new stock repurchase program, the Corporation may repurchase shares in individually negotiated transactions from time to time as such shares become available and spend up to $8 million to repurchase such shares over the three-year term. Subject to the $8 million limitation, the Corporation intends to purchase shares recently acquired by the selling shareholder pursuant to the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock, and limit its acquisition of shares which were not recently acquired by the selling shareholder pursuant to the exercise of stock options or the vesting of shares of restricted stock to no more than 10,000 shares per year. Under the new repurchase plan, the Corporation purchased 6,041 shares during 2008 and as of December 31, 2008, $7,769,354 is still available under the new repurchase plan. The stock repurchase program does not require the Corporation to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Corporation at any time without prior notice. The repurchase program will terminate on December 31, 2011, unless earlier suspended or discontinued by the Corporation.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Corporation relates to the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
Overview
The primary source of the Bank’s revenue is net interest income from loans and deposits and fees from financial services provided to customers. Overall economic factors including market interest rates, business spending, and consumer confidence, as well as competitive conditions within the marketplace tend to influence business volumes.
The Corporation monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income. One of the primary goals of asset/liability management is to maximize net interest income and the net value of future cash flows within authorized risk limits. At December 31, 2008, the interest rate risk position of the Corporation was liability sensitive. Maintaining a liability sensitive interest rate risk position means that net income should decrease as rates rise and increase as rates fall.
In addition to net interest income, net income is affected by other non-interest income, other non-interest expense and the provision for loan losses. Other non-interest income increased for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to year ended December 31, 2007, which was primarily due to service charges and fees on deposit accounts collected for DDA business accounts due to a lower earnings credit rate for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to December 31, 2007. The increase in service charges and fees collected on deposit accounts is offset by the decrease in mortgage banking income for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, which is due to the write down of the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). Other non-interest expense increased for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase is due to an increase in FDIC insurance premiums paid during 2008 as compared to 2007 and a non-recurring charge in the first quarter of 2008 relating to certain deposit accounts. The provision for loan losses increased for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to December 31, 2007. The increase is due to loan growth, increased charge offs and a high level of special mention and classified loans due to the overall decline in the economy. Management performs an evaluation as to the amounts required to maintain an allowance adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of this allowance is dependent upon the total amount of past due and non-performing loans, general economic conditions and management’s assessment of probable losses based upon internal credit evaluations of loan portfolios and particular loans. Typically, improved economic strength generally will translate into better credit quality in the banking industry. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2008.
The risks and challenges that management believes will be important during 2009 are price competition for loans and deposits by new market entrants as well as established competitors, marketplace credit effects, continued spread compression if the Bank is unable to lower deposit rates due to competition, a continued slowdown in the local economy, the financial crisis in the U.S. market as well as foreign markets, and increased/special assessments imposed by the FDIC.

Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 2008, Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2007, and the Year Ended December 31, 2007, Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2006.
The Corporation’s results of operations depend primarily on the level of its net interest income, its non-interest income and its operating expenses. Net interest income depends on the volume of and rates associated with interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities which results in the net interest spread.
2008 compared with 2007
The Corporation had net income of $3,783,947 for 2008 compared to net income of $7,890,549 for 2007. The decrease in net income is due to a non-recurring charge in the first quarter of 2008 related to certain deposit accounts, an increase in the provision for loan losses, an increase in FDIC insurance expense, and increases in occupancy and furniture, fixtures, and equipment expense related to the opening of a new lockbox/disaster site and new banking center at Cool Creek Village in January 2008. These increases in expenses were partially offset by an increase in net interest income period over period and an increase in other operating income.
The Bank experienced a decrease in total assets in 2008 compared with 2007. Total assets decreased $45,324,615 or 3.9% to $1,117,784,442 in 2008 from $1,163,109,057 in 2007. The decrease is primarily due to: a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $130,902,789 or 80.6% to $31,420,080 in 2008 from $162,322,869 in 2007; an increase in loans of $73,878,739 or 8.9% to $904,207,064 in 2008 from $830,328,325 in 2007; an increase in investments of $6,520,220 or 4.9% to $140,544,042 in 2008 from $134,023,822 in 2007; and an increase in other assets of $3,781,592 or 19.0% to $23,636,732 in 2008 from $19,855,140 in 2007.
2007 compared with 2006
The Corporation had net income of $7,890,549 for 2007 compared to net income of $6,984,789 for 2006. The change in net income is primarily due to the growth of the Bank’s interest earning assets.
Net income for 2006 has been restated to correct the accounting treatment for the excess tax benefit for restricted stock. For further discussion, please see Note 2, “Restatement of Prior Years Financial Statements” in the notes to the 2008 consolidated financial statements.
The Bank experienced growth during 2007 and 2006. Total assets increased $128,677,222 or 12.4% to $1,163,109,057 in 2007 from $1,034,431,835 in 2006. This growth is in part due to an increase in customers as a result of local bank mergers/consolidations, the addition of experienced corporate and private bankers to the staff, and banking centers.

2008 compared with 2007
Total earning assets increased for 2008 as compared to 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to loan growth. Interest income decreased for 2008 as compared to 2007. The decrease is due to an overall lower interest rate environment in 2008 as compared to 2007 as a result of significant interest rate decreases by the Federal Reserve in 2008. Over the course of 2008, the prime interest rate decreased by 400 basis points to 3.25% from 7.25% in 2007.
Total interest bearing liabilities increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is due primarily to an increase in interest bearing demand deposits and savings/money market deposits. Interest expense decreased due to lower interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.
The increase in net interest income was a result of an increase in the net interest income spread during 2008 as compared to 2007. The increase in the net interest income spread was the result of a better mix of earning assets during 2008 compared to 2007.
2007 compared with 2006
The increase in interest income during 2007 is due to higher average balances in the loan and the investment securities portfolios. Also contributing to the increase was higher yields on the federal funds sold and investment portfolios. Over the course of 2007, the prime interest rate decreased by 100 basis points to 7.25% from 8.25% in 2007.
The increase in interest expense is due to an increase in interest bearing deposits. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in interest paid on FHLB advances. The outstanding balance on FHLB advances at December 31, 2007, was $3,000,000 compared to $14,000,000 at December 31, 2006.
The increase in net interest income in 2007 compared to 2006 is due to higher average earning assets offset by a lower net interest margin. The lower net interest margin in 2007 compared to 2006 reflects higher rates paid on certificates of deposits (CDs) year over year. This is the result of the inversion of the treasury yield curve and higher rates being paid for CDs with a final maturity of one year or less versus CDs with a final maturity of greater than one year. Due to this inversion, many clients opted to invest in maturities at one year or less.

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth an analysis of volume and rate changes in interest income and interest expense of the Corporation’s average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. The table distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances of assets and liabilities (changes in volume holding the initial average interest rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rate holding the initial average outstanding balance constant). The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Provision for Loan Losses
The amount charged to the provision for loan losses by the Bank is based on management’s evaluation as to the amounts required to maintain an allowance adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of this allowance is dependent upon the total amount of past due and non-performing loans, general economic conditions and management’s assessment of probable losses based upon internal credit evaluations of loan portfolios and particular loans. Loans are principally to borrowers in central Indiana.

2008 compared with 2007
The provision for loan losses was $7,400,000 for 2008 compared to $904,000 for 2007. The increase in the provision for loan losses for 2008 as compared to 2007 is due to loan growth, increased net charge offs, and a higher level of special mention and classified loans as compared to the same period in 2007 due to the overall decline in the economy and the sharp decline in real estate values. These chargeoffs relate to specific commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, and residential mortgage loans. Management does not believe that these chargeoffs are indicative of systematic problems with the loan portfolio. Based on management’s risk assessment and evaluation of the probable losses of the loan portfolio, management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable losses in the loan portfolio.
2007 compared with 2006
The provision for loan losses was $904,000 for 2007 compared to $1,086,000 for 2006. The decrease in the provision for loan losses is due to an overall improvement in loan quality and significant commercial loan recoveries.

2008 compared with 2007
Other operating income increased for 2008 compared to 2007. There are several factors that contribute to the overall increase.
Wealth Management fees increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The net increase in wealth management fees is attributable to the overall fee increase for many of the accounts with assets under management and increased fees collected for tax return preparation. In addition, as a result of the financial crisis in the U.S. markets as well as foreign markets, wealth management clients transferred assets into Dreyfus money market funds, thus increasing the fees collected on those types of assets.
Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in service charges collected for DDA business and non-profit accounts due to a lower earnings credit rate in 2008 compared to 2007.
Building rental income decreased for 2008 compared to 2007. This was due to a decline in tenants at the 4930 North Pennsylvania Street location due to the Bank occupying more space.
Mortgage banking income decreased for 2008 compared to 2007. The decrease is due to a write down of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) of $715,087 in 2008 compared to $144,650 in 2007. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in the net gain on the sale of mortgage loans. A net gain of $498,934 was recorded in 2008 as compared to a net gain of $205,425 in 2007. Mortgage originations were in excess of $56 million with sales in excess of $40 million to the secondary market in 2008 as compared to mortgage originations in excess of $29 million with sales in excess of $15 million to the secondary market in 2007. When a mortgage loan is sold and the mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) are retained, the MSR is recorded as an asset on the balance sheet. The value of MSRs is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In a declining interest rate environment, mortgage loan refinancings generally increase, causing actual and expected loan prepayments to increase, which decreases the value of existing MSRs. Conversely, as interest rates rise, mortgage loan refinancings generally decline, causing actual and expected loan prepayments to decrease, which increases the values of the MSRs.
Interchange income increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is attributable to higher transaction volumes for debit and credit cards in 2008 as compared to 2007 and a reduction in cash back rewards expense for 2008 as compared to 2007.

Table of Contents

Other income increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is primarily due to an increase in letter of credit fees, application fees, Mastercard/Visa merchant fees, sweep fees for Dreyfus money market funds, as well as prepayment penalties and late fees collected. The increase is offset by a decrease in documentation fees, other miscellaneous income, and Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) income.
2007 compared with 2006
Other operating income increased for 2007 compared to 2006. There are several factors that contribute to the overall increase.
Wealth Management fees increased for 2007 compared to 2006. The increase is attributable to the overall price appreciation in the stock and treasury markets, an increase in assets under management, an overall increase for many of the accounts with assets under management, and an increase in fees collected for estate administration and tax return preparation.
Services charges and fees on deposit accounts increased for 2007 compared to 2006. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in service charges collected for DDA business accounts and overdraft and NSF fees.
Building rental income increased for 2007 compared to 2006. The increase is due to the Corporation purchasing the property at 4930 North Pennsylvania Street, where the Bank operates a banking center, in January 2007 and began recording rental income from other tenants.
Mortgage banking income increased for 2007 compared to 2006. Net gain on sale of mortgage loans increased for 2007 to $205,425 compared to $156,583 for 2006. During 2006 and most of 2007, long term interest rates remained steady and mortgage originations decreased resulting in decreased mortgage sales. During the later part of 2007, long term interest rates began to fall and mortgage originations began to increase. This drop in interest rates also gave the Bank an opportunity to sell some of its mortgage loans. During 2007, mortgage originations were in excess of $29 million with sales in excess of $15 million to the secondary market. During 2006, the Mortgage Division originated approximately $33 million in mortgage loans, while selling over $16 million to the secondary market.
On January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (FASB No.156), an amendment of FASB No. 140, and began to carry the MSRs at fair value, hence, the MSRs are no longer amortized and valuation reserve is no longer carried against the MSRs. During 2007, there was a write-down of the fair value of MSRs in the amount of $144,650. During 2006, the valuation reserve decreased $123,090 and $266,327 was recorded as amortization of MSRs for a net decrease to mortgage banking income of $143,237. As of December 31, 2006, a valuation reserve of $59,128 was recorded for mortgage servicing rights.
Interchange income decreased for 2007 compared to 2006. The decrease is due to the new cash back rewards program for credit cards introduced in late 2006. The decrease is partially offset by an increase in transaction volumes for debit and credit cards in 2007 as compared to 2006.
Other income increased for 2007 compared to 2006. The increase is primarily due to income recorded from the purchase of a Bank Owned Life Insurance Policy during the third quarter of 2006. Additionally, there was an increase in letter of credit fees, prepayment penalties, credit card merchant fees, and sweep fees for Dreyfus money market funds. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in loan documentation fees.

2008 compared with 2007
Other operating expenses increased for 2008 compared to 2007. There are several factors that contribute to the overall increase.
Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is the result of annual merit increases for many employees, increase costs relating to group medical benefits, and 401(k) contributions, as well as, additional salary expense and benefits associated with the increase in full-time equivalent employees to 241 in 2008 from 217 in 2007. This increase is partially offset by the effect of accounting for FASB Statement No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases (FASB No. 91), and a decrease in expense relating to the performance bonus and the associated employer FICA tax on the performance bonus for 2008 compared to 2007 because no performance bonus was earned in 2008.
Occupancy expense increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is due to increased real estate taxes and the purchase of land located at the Villages of West Clay in June 2007 and the purchase of the land at Cool Creek Village in March 2008. In addition, leasehold improvements expense and building rental expense increased due to the opening of a new lockbox processing center/disaster site in January 2008. Snow removal costs, electrical expense, janitorial and trash service, and building utilities were higher in 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in other miscellaneous expense and property repairs and maintenance in 2008.
Furniture and equipment expense increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is due to an increase in depreciation expense for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, computer equipment, and maintenance contracts as a result of the January 2008 opening of the new banking center located at Cool Creek Village, the November 2008 opening of the new banking center located at Villages of West Clay, as well as the opening of the new lockbox processing center/disaster site in January 2008.
Professional services expense increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is due to an increase in courier service, advertising agency fees, attorney fees, and design services. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in accounting fees and consulting fees.

Data processing expenses increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is due to an increase in bill payment services, ATM/debit cards, credit cards, remote deposit capture, increased service bureau fees related to increased transaction activity by the Bank, and assistance with the fiduciary income tax preparation for Wealth Management accounts.
Business development expenses increased for 2008 compared to 2007. The increase is due to an increase in advertising, customer relations and entertainment, public relations, and grand opening expense. The increase is offset by a decrease in sales and product literature and direct mail campaign.
FDIC insurance increased for 2008 compared to 2007. During 2007, the FDIC began collecting deposit insurance premiums in arrears. In addition, the Corporation had only paid FICO insurance because it had received a one time credit from the FDIC in early 2007 and did not have to pay FDIC insurance premiums. The Corporation had only a small amount of the credit available for offset against the first quarter 2008 insurance premium.
Other expenses increased for 2008 compared to 2007 due to an increase in telephone expense, software maintenance, loan collection expense, postage, other real estate expense, ATM surcharges refunded, and correspondent bank charges. Also contributing to the increase was a non-recurring charge in the first quarter of $1,382,000 related to certain deposit accounts and a non-recurring charge in the second quarter of $94,000 related to certain wealth management accounts. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in office supplies, other miscellaneous expense and credit card losses.
2007 compared with 2006
Other operating expenses increased for 2007 compared to 2006. There are several factors that contribute to the overall increase.
Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased for 2007 compared to 2006. This increase is due to annual merit increases for many employees, group medical insurance, increased FICA expense due to the exercise of stock options by officers of the Bank and the cliff vesting of restricted stock of officers of the Bank, and 401(k) contributions. The increase is partially offset by the effect of accounting for FASB No. 91. There was an increase in the number of employees to 217 full time equivalents in 2007 from 212 full time equivalents in 2006.
Occupancy expense increased for 2007 compared to 2006. This increase is attributable to an increase in property repairs and maintenance at the Corporation’s main office building, real estate taxes, and depreciation expense associated with building and improvements. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in rent expense due to the purchase of the land and building at 4930 North Pennsylvania Street, where the Bank operates a banking center, in January 2007. In addition, the Bank purchased the land at the banking center located at 106th and Michigan Road in March 2007.
Furniture and equipment expense increased for 2007 compared to 2006. This increase is primarily due to an increase in maintenance contracts and depreciation associated with computer equipment. This increase is partially offset by a decrease in depreciation for furniture, fixture, and equipment.
Professional services expense increased for 2007 compared to 2006. The increase is primarily due to additional expense incurred for accounting fees relating to compliance with FDICIA regulations due the Bank having an asset size of over one billion dollars, and compliance with section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, attorney fees increased due to the purchase of real estate for new banking centers and delinquency in specific commercial and real estate loans, which management does not believe to be indicative of systematic problems with the loan portfolio. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in advertising agency fees and design service fees.

Table of Contents

Data processing expenses increased for 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to increased service bureau fees relating to increased transaction activity by the Bank, bill payment services, and assistance with the implementation of a new fiduciary income tax system.
Business development expenses increased for 2007 compared to 2006 due to an increase in advertising, sales and product literature, customer promotions and premium items and customer entertainment. The increase is partially offset by a decrease in public relations.
Other expenses increased for 2007 compared to 2006 due to software maintenance, other real estate expense, personal property taxes, correspondent bank charges, employment agency fees, comptroller of the currency assessment, check losses and credit card losses.
Tax (Benefit)/Expense
The Corporation applies a federal income tax rate of 34% and a state tax rate of 8.5% in the computation of tax expense. The provision for income taxes consisted of the following:
                         
    2008     2007     2006  
 
                       
Current tax expense
  $ 3,154,546     $ 4,181,281     $ 3,826,638  
Deferred tax benefit
    (1,912,957 )     (325,232 )     (325,702 )
 
                 
 
  $ 1,241,589     $ 3,856,049     $ 3,500,936  
 
                 
Effective tax rate
    24.71 %     32.83 %     33.39 %
Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The decrease in the effective tax rate for 2008 as compared to prior years is due to non-taxable income being a higher proportion of pre-tax income.

Effects of Inflation
Inflation can have a significant effect on the operating results of all industries. This is especially true in industries with a high proportion of fixed assets and inventory. However, management believes that these factors are not as critical in the banking industry. Inflation does, however, have an impact on the growth of total assets and the need to maintain a proper level of equity capital.
Interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, but it is difficult to assess the impact since neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes in the various inflation indices coincides with changes in interest rates. There is, of course, an impact on longer-term earning assets; however, this effect continues to diminish as investment maturities are shortened and interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities shift from fixed rate, long-term to rate-sensitive, short-term.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The Corporation must maintain an adequate liquidity position in order to respond to the short-term demand for funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts, extensions of credit and for the payment of operating expenses. Maintaining an adequate liquidity position is accomplished through the management of the liquid assets — those which can be converted into cash — and access to additional sources of funds. The Corporation must monitor its liquidity ratios as established in the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) Policy. In addition, the Corporation has established a contingency funding plan to address liquidity needs in the event of depressed economic conditions. The liquidity position is continually monitored and reviewed by ALCO.
The Corporation has many sources of funds available, they include: overnight federal funds sold, investments available for sale, maturity of investments held for sale, deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, and issuance of debt. Draws on the revolving line of credit provided the most significant funding source for the year ended December 31, 2008. Deposits were the most significant funding source for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006. Loans are the most significant use of funds for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006. In addition, the purchase of bank premises and equipment was a significant use of funds during 2008 and 2007. In 2008, the Corporation purchased land at 2714 East 146th Street in Cool Creek Village, which was previously leased, and land at 116th and Olio Road. In 2007, the Corporation purchased land at 106th and Michigan Road and 4930 North Pennsylvania Street, which was previously leased, as well as land in the Villages of West Clay.

The Corporation maintained a revolving credit agreement with Harris Trust and Savings Bank in the amount of $5,000,000 that would have matured September 30, 2007. On June 29, 2007, the Corporation entered into a $5,000,000 loan agreement with U.S. Bank to replace the revolving credit agreement with Harris Trust and Savings Bank. The loan agreement is used to provide additional liquidity support to the Bank, if needed. There were no borrowings under either agreement at December 31, 2007.
On September 5, 2008, and December 11, 2008, the Corporation drew $1,300,000 and $2,900,000, respectively, on the revolving loan agreement with U.S. Bank. Under the terms of the revolving loan agreement the Corporation pays prime minus 1.25% which equates to 2.00% on December 31, 2008. Interest payments are due quarterly. The revolving loan agreement contains various financial and non-financial covenants. One of these covenants requires the Bank to maintain a return on its assets of at least 0.60%. The Bank was in violation on this covenant as of December 31, 2008, as its return on assets was 0.51%. U.S. Bank agreed to waive the minimum return on assets covenant as of December 31, 2008. Going forward, U.S. Bank changed the covenant for return on assets from 0.60% to 0.40%. The covenant for total risk based capital to risk-weighted assets was changed from 10.00% to 10.25%. All other terms and conditions remain the same.
Primary liquid assets of the Corporation are cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, investments held as available for sale, and maturing loans. Federal funds sold represent the Corporation’s primary source of immediate liquidity and were maintained at a level adequate to meet immediate needs. Federal funds sold averaged approximately $31,530,000, $52,466,000, and $46,721,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 respectively. Reverse repurchase agreements may serve as a source of liquidity, but are primarily used as collateral for customer balances in overnight repurchase agreements. Maturities in the Corporation’s loan and investment portfolios are monitored regularly to avoid matching short-term deposits with long-term loans and investments. Other assets and liabilities are also monitored to provide the proper balance between liquidity, safety, and profitability. This monitoring process must be continuous due to the constant flow of cash which is inherent in a financial institution.
The Corporation’s management believes its liquidity sources are adequate to meet its operating needs and does not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that may result in a significant adverse effect on the Corporation’s liquidity position.
The Corporation actively manages its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2008, the Corporation’s rate sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets due within one year by $103,657,183. At December 31, 2007, the Corporation’s rate sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets due within one year by $185,542,733.
The purpose of the Bank’s Investment Committee is to manage and balance interest rate risk, to provide a readily available source of liquidity to cover deposit runoff and loan growth, and to provide a portfolio of safe, secure assets of high quality that generate a supplemental source of income in concert with the overall asset/liability policies and strategies of the Bank.

The Bank holds securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies along with mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, municipals, and Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock. In order to properly manage market risk, credit risk and interest rate risk, the Bank has guidelines it must follow when purchasing investments for the portfolio and adherence to these policy guidelines are reported monthly to the board of directors.
A portion of the Bank’s investment securities consist of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The Bank limits the level of these securities that can be held in the portfolio to a specified percentage of total average assets.
All mortgage-related securities must pass the FFIEC stress test. This stress test determines if price volatility under a 200 basis point interest rate shock for each security exceeds a benchmark 30 year mortgage-backed security. If the security fails the test, it is considered high risk and the Bank will not purchase it. All mortgage-related securities purchased and included in the investment portfolio will be subject to the FFIEC test as of December 31 each year to determine if they have become high risk holdings. If a mortgage-related security becomes high risk, it will be evaluated by the Bank’s Investment Committee to determine if the security should be liquidated. At December 31, 2008, and 2007, the Bank did not hold any high risk mortgage-related securities.
The Bank’s investment portfolio also consists of bank-qualified municipal securities. Municipal securities purchased are limited to the first three (3) investment grades of the rating agencies. The grade is reviewed each December 31 to verify that the grade has not deteriorated below the first three (3) investment grades. The Bank may purchase non-rated general obligation municipals, but the credit strength of the municipality must be evaluated by the Bank’s Credit Department. Generally, municipal securities from each issuer will be limited to $2 million, never to exceed 10% of the Bank’s tier 1 capital and will not have a stated final maturity date of greater than fifteen (15) years.
The fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) average yield on the Bank’s investment portfolio is as follows as of December 31,
                         
    2008     2007     2006  
 
                       
U.S. Treasuries
    3.59 %     4.81 %     4.33 %
U.S. Government agencies
    4.32 %     4.25 %     3.50 %
Collateralized mortgage obligations
    3.46 %     3.50 %     3.44 %
Municipals
    5.61 %     5.79 %     5.82 %
Other securities
    2.78 %     4.91 %     5.03 %
With the exception of securities of the U.S. Government and U.S. Government agencies and corporations, the Corporation had no other securities with a book or market value greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

The Corporation held 98 investment securities as of December 31, 2008, of which the amortized cost was greater than market value. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2008, represents an other-than-temporary impairment. The Corporation has both the intent and ability to hold these securities for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost.
There were no unrealized losses for investments classified as available-for sale.

The unrealized losses for investments classified as held-to-maturity is attributable to changes in interest rates and individually were 11.6% or less of their respective amortized costs. The unrealized losses relate primarily to debt securities issued by various municipalities. The majority of these investment securities were purchased during 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 when rates were lower. The largest unrealized loss relates to one municipal that was purchased February 2006. As of December 31, 2008, all but three of the municipal debt securities were rated BBB or better (either as a result of insurance or the underlying rating on the bond). All interest payments are current for all municipal securities.
There are also unrealized losses related to the collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage backed securities. These securities where purchased in 2004 and the first quarter of 2008, when rates were lower than December 31, 2008. All of the CMOs and MBSs are backed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). Given these investments are backed by a U.S. Government sponsored entity, we do not believe credit risk to be significant.
The following table shows the amortized cost, fair value, and weighted-average yield of investment securities at December 31, 2008, by contractual maturity. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to call and/or prepay obligations prior to maturity. Collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage backed securities are allocated based on the average life at December 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates, assumptions, and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates, assumptions, and judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by other third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily through the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques.
Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the valuation of the mortgage servicing asset, the valuation of investment securities, and the determination of the allowance for loan losses to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Mortgage Servicing Assets
Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through the sale of mortgage loans. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are reported in other assets. Through December 31, 2006, capitalized mortgage servicing rights were allocated as a portion of the cost of the loan based on relative fair values, and amortized and netted against mortgage banking income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Mortgage servicing rights were evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment was determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment was recorded in a valuation allowance.
On January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted FASB Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (FASB No. 156), an amendment of FASB No. 140. FASB No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value. As permitted by FASB No. 156, the Corporation has elected to record mortgage servicing rights at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. The Corporation obtains fair value estimates from an independent third party and compares significant valuation model inputs to published industry data in order to validate the model assumptions and results.
Investment Securities Valuation
Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time of purchase based on a policy approved by the Board of Directors. When the Corporation classifies debt securities as held-to-maturity, it has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of taxes.
The Corporation obtains market values from a third party on a monthly basis in order to adjust the securities to fair value. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost. Additionally, all securities are required to be written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is other than temporary; therefore, future changes in the fair value of securities could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s operating results. In determining whether a market value decline is other-than-temporary, management considers the reason for the decline, the extent of the decline and the duration of the decline.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate based on management’s judgment by applying the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 5, Accounting for Contingencies, SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures.
Within the allowance, there are specific and general loss components. The specific loss component is assessed for non-homogeneous loans that management believes to be impaired in accordance with SFAS 114. Loans are considered to be impaired when it is determined that the obligor will not pay all contractual principal and interest due. For loans determined to be impaired, the loan’s carrying value is compared to its fair value using one of the following fair value measurement techniques: present value of expected future cash flows, observable market price, or fair value of the associated collateral less costs to sell. An allowance is established when the fair value is lower than the carrying value of that loan. In addition to establishing allowance levels for specifically identified impaired loans, management determines an allowance for all other loans in the portfolio for which historical experience indicates that certain losses exist in accordance to SFAS 5. These loans are segregated by major product type and/or risk grade with an estimated loss ratio applied against each product type and/or risk grade. The loss ratio is generally based upon historic loss experience for each loan type as adjusted for certain environmental factors management believes to be relevant.
It is the policy of the Corporation to promptly charge off any commercial loan, or portion thereof, which is deemed to be uncollectible. This includes, but is not limited to, any loan rated “Loss” by the regulatory authorities. Impaired commercial credits are considered on a case-by-case-basis.
An assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is performed on a quarterly basis. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
The following table shows the dollar amount of the allowance for loan losses using management’s estimate by loan category as of December 31, (in $000’s):

Management considers the present allowance to be appropriate and adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the current economic environment. However, future economic changes cannot be predicted. Deterioration in economic conditions could result in an increase in the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio and an increase in the provision for loan losses.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when significant doubt exists as to the collectibility of principal and interest. Interest continues to legally accrue on these nonaccrual loans, but no income is recognized for financial statement purposes. Both principal and interest payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to the outstanding principal balance until the remaining balance is considered collectible, at which time interest income may be recognized when received.

The Corporation maintained a revolving credit agreement with Harris Trust and Savings Bank in the amount of $5,000,000 that would have matured September 30, 2007. On June 29, 2007, the Corporation entered into a $5,000,000 loan agreement with U.S. Bank to replace the revolving credit agreement with Harris Trust and Savings Bank. The loan agreement is used to provide additional liquidity support to the Bank, if needed. There were no borrowings under either agreement at December 31, 2007.
On September 5, 2008, and December 11, 2008, the Corporation drew $1,300,000 and $2,900,000, respectively, on the revolving loan agreement with U.S. Bank. Under the terms of the revolving loan agreement the Corporation pays prime minus 1.25% which equates to 2.00% on December 31, 2008. Interest payments are due quarterly. The revolving loan agreement contains various financial and non-financial covenants. One of these covenants requires the Bank to maintain a return on its assets of at least 0.60%. The Bank was in violation on this covenant as of December 31, 2008, as its return on assets was 0.51%. U.S. Bank agreed to waive the minimum return on assets covenant as of December 31, 2008. Going forward, U.S. Bank changed the covenant for return on assets from 0.60% to 0.40%. The covenant for total risk based capital to risk-weighted assets was changed from 10.00% to 10.25%. All other terms and conditions remain the same.
The Bank entered into a $5,000,000 subordinated term loan agreement with Harris Trust and Savings Bank dated June 6, 2003. The first advance was made in the amount of $2,000,000 on June 6, 2003. The second advance was made in the amount of $3,000,000 on May 3, 2004. The final maturity date of the loan was June 6, 2012. The outstanding principal balance was due at maturity, prepayment of the principal balance was permitted prior to maturity with prior consent from the Federal Reserve. On June 29, 2007, the Bank entered into a Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bank in the amount of $5,000,000, which will mature on June 28, 2017.

The proceeds from the Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement with U.S. Bank were used to pay in full the Subordinated Term Loan Agreement with Harris Trust and Savings Bank in the amount of $5,000,000. Under the terms of the Subordinated Purchase Agreement, the Bank pays three-month LIBOR plus 1.20% which equates to 2.70% on December 31, 2008. Interest payments are due quarterly.
In September 2000, the Trust, which is wholly owned by the Corporation, issued $13,500,000 of company obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities. The proceeds from the issuance of the capital securities and the proceeds from the issuance of the common securities of $418,000 were used by the Trust to purchase from the Corporation $13,918,000 Fixed Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures. The capital securities mature September 7, 2030, or upon earlier redemption as provided by the Indenture. The Corporation has the right to redeem the capital securities, in whole or in part, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000, on any March 7 or September 7 on or after September 7, 2010, at a premium, declining ratably to par on September 7, 2020. The capital securities and the debentures have a fixed interest rate of 10.60% and are guaranteed by the Bank. The net proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of capital securities were used for general corporate purposes.
The Bank has incurred indebtedness pursuant to FHLB advances as follows:
                                                                         
2008     2007     2006

There were no FHLB advances outstanding as of December 31, 2008. During 2008, the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during the year for FHLB Advances was $23,000,000. The Bank may add indebtedness of this nature in the future if determined to be in the best interest of the Bank.
Security repurchase agreements are short-term borrowings that generally mature within one to three days from the transaction date. At December 31, 2008, and 2007 the weighted average interest rate on these borrowings was 0.88% and 3.83%, respectively. During 2008, the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during the year was $66,000,155. Due to the fact that security repurchase agreements are a sweep product used by our corporate clients, there is not a large volatility in the average balances, because of the core deposit base. Balances in excess of this core deposit base are generally invested in overnight Federal Funds sold. Thus, liquidity is not materially affected.
Capital for the Bank is above well-capitalized regulatory requirements at December 31, 2008. Pertinent capital ratios for the Bank as of December 31, 2008 are as follows:
                         
            Well     Adequately  
    Actual     Capitalized     Capitalized  
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio

Dividends from the Bank to the Corporation may not exceed the net undivided profits of the Bank (included in consolidated retained earnings) for the current calendar year and the two previous calendar years without prior approval of the OCC. In addition, Federal banking laws limit the amount of loans the Bank may make to the Corporation, subject to certain collateral requirements. No loans were made during 2008 or 2007 by the Bank to the Corporation. A dividend of $1,315,000 and $1,300,000 was declared and made during 2008 and 2007, respectively by the Bank to the Corporation.
In 2003, the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized and announced a repurchase program entitled “Program One” and “Program Two”. Program One covers employees and directors and was initially set to expire December 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of Program One until December 31, 2008, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors and authorized an additional $1,900,000 to be allocated to Program One. Under Program One, the Corporation may purchase in individually negotiated transactions its shares from employees and directors who wish to sell their stock. Program Two covers all other shareholders and was set to expire December 2005, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Board of Directors authorized the extension of Program Two until December 31, 2008, unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, and authorized an additional $2,600,000 to be allocated to Program Two. Under Program Two, the Corporation may purchase in individually negotiated transactions its shares from shareholders who wish to sell.
On July 17, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized an increase of $200,000 to Program One, and a decrease of $200,000 to Program Two.
On September 18, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Corporation voted to merge Program One and Program Two stock repurchase programs of the Corporation. In addition, the Board of Directors authorized the allocation of an additional $500,000 to the merged stock repurchase program. Under the resulting stock repurchase program, the Corporation may repurchase its shares in individually negotiated transactions from time to time as shares become available. The Corporation will fund purchases under the repurchase program from available working capital. The stock repurchase program does not require the Corporation to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Corporation at any time without prior notice. The repurchase program would have terminated on December 31, 2008, but was terminated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation on November 20, 2008.
On November 20, 2008, the Board of adopted a new three-year stock repurchase program for directors and employees. Under the new stock repurchase program, the Corporation may repurchase shares in individually negotiated transactions from time to time as such shares become available and spend up to $8 million to repurchase such shares over the three-year term. Subject to the $8 million limitation, the Corporation intends to purchase shares recently acquired by the selling shareholder pursuant to the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock, and limit its acquisition of shares which were not recently acquired by the selling shareholder pursuant to the exercise of stock options or the vesting of shares of restricted stock to no more than 10,000 shares per year. Under the new repurchase plan, the Corporation purchased 6,041 shares during 2008 and as of December 31, 2008, $7,769,354 is still available under the new repurchase plan. The stock repurchase program does not require the Corporation to acquire any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated by the Corporation at any time without prior notice. The repurchase program will terminate on December 31, 2011, unless earlier suspended or discontinued by the Corporation.

The amount and timing of shares repurchased under the repurchase program, as well as the specific price, will be determined by management after considering market conditions, company performance and other factors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 discusses new accounting policies adopted by the Corporation during 2008 and the expected impact of accounting policies. Note 3 also discusses recently issued or proposed new accounting policies but not yet required to be adopted and the impact of the accounting policies if known. To the extent the adoption of new accounting standards materially affects financial conditions; results of operations, or liquidity, the impacts if known are discussed in the applicable section(s) of notes to consolidated financial statements.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties and includes information about possible or assumed future results of operations. Many possible events or factors could affect our future financial results and performance. This could cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” variations of such words and other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Readers should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements and should consider all uncertainties and risks discussed throughout this discussion. These statements are representative only on the date hereof.
The possible events or factors include, but are not limited to, the following matters. Loan growth is dependent on economic conditions, as well as various discretionary factors, such as decisions to sell or purchase certain loans or loan portfolios; participations of loans; retention of residential mortgage loans; the management of a borrower; industry, product and geographic concentrations and the mix of the loan portfolio. The rate of charge-offs and provision expense can be affected by local, regional and international economic and market conditions, concentrations of borrowers, industries, products and geographic locations, the mix of the loan portfolio and management’s judgments regarding the collectibility of loans. Liquidity requirements may change as a result of fluctuations in assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet exposures, which will impact our capital and debt financing needs and the mix of funding sources. Decisions to purchase, hold or sell securities are also dependent on liquidity requirements and market volatility, as well as on- and off-balance sheet positions. Factors that may impact interest rate risk include local, regional and international economic conditions, levels, mix, maturities, yields or rates of assets and liabilities, and the wholesale and retail funding sources of the Bank. There is exposure to the potential of losses arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices which can adversely impact the value of financial products, including securities, loans, deposits, debt and derivative financial instruments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, options and other financial instruments with similar characteristics.

In addition, the banking industry in general is subject to various monetary and fiscal policies and regulations, which include those determined by the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), whose policies and regulations could affect our results. Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements include the following: competition with other local, regional and international banks, thrifts, credit unions and other non-bank financial institutions, such as investment banking firms, investment advisory firms, brokerage firms, investment companies and insurance companies, as well as other entities which offer financial services, located both within and outside the United States and through alternative delivery channels such as the World Wide Web; interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; inflation; market volatility; general economic conditions and economic conditions in the geographic regions and industries in which we operate; introduction and acceptance of new banking-related products, services and enhancements; fee pricing strategies, mergers and acquisitions and our ability to manage these and other risks.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Corporation’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate exposure and makes monthly reports to the Asset Liability Committee (the “ALCO”). The ALCO is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. The guidelines established by ALCO are reviewed by the ALCO/Investment Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors.
The Corporation’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial increase in interest rates may adversely impact the Corporation’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates earned by assets and paid on liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Corporation monitors the impact of changes in interest rates on its net interest income. The Corporation attempts to maintain a relatively neutral gap between earning assets and liabilities at various time intervals to minimize the effects of interest rate risk.
One of the primary goals of asset/liability management is to maximize net interest income and the net value of future cash flows within authorized risk limits. Net interest income is affected by changes in the absolute level of interest rates. Net interest income is also subject to changes in the shape of the yield curve. In general, a flattening of the yield curve would result in a decline in earnings due to the compression of earning asset yields and funding rates, while a steepening would result in increased earnings as investment margins widen. Earnings are also affected by changes in spread relationships between certain rate indices, such as prime rate.

Interest rate risk is monitored through earnings simulation modeling. The earnings simulation model projects changes in net interest income caused by the effect of changes in interest rates. The model requires management to make assumptions about how the balance sheet is likely to behave through time in different interest rate environments. Loan and deposit balances remain static and maturities reprice at the current market rate. The investment portfolio maturities and prepayments are assumed to be reinvested in similar instruments. Mortgage loan prepayment assumptions are developed from industry median estimates of prepayment speeds. Non-maturity deposit pricing is modeled on historical patterns. The Corporation performs a 200 basis point upward and downward interest rate shock to determine whether there would be an adverse impact on its annual net income and that it is within the established policy limits. At December 31, 2008, a downward interest rate shock scenario was not performed due to the low level of current interest rates. The earnings simulation model as of December 31, 2008, projects an approximate increase of 4.0% in net income in a 200 basis point upward interest rate shock. As of December 31, 2007, the earnings simulation model projected an approximate increase of 0.20% in net income in a 200 basis point downward interest rate shock and an approximate decrease of 2.30% in net income in a 200 basis point upward interest rate shock. The upward and downward change is well within the policy limits established by the ALCO policy for the period ending December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively.
During 2008, the interest rate position of the Corporation was liability sensitive, meaning net income should decrease as rates rise and increase as rates fall. Due to the mix and timing of the repricing of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities, interest income is not materially impacted whether rates increase or decrease in a 200 basis point interest rate shock. See further discussion on interest rate sensitivity on page 36.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this annual report. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.
As management of The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation, we are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Management assessed the system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, in relation to criteria for adequate internal control over financial reporting as described in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2008, its system of internal control over financial reporting is effective and meets the criteria of the “Internal Control — Integrated Framework.” Crowe Horwath LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation
Indianapolis, Indiana
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008. We also have audited The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

THE NATIONAL BANK OF INDIANAPOLIS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation (the Corporation) was incorporated in the state of Indiana on January 29, 1993. The Corporation subsequently formed a de novo national bank, The National Bank of Indianapolis (the Bank), and a statutory trust, NBIN Statutory Trust I (the Trust). The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary and commenced operations in December 1993. The Trust was formed in September 2000 as part of the issuance of trust preferred capital securities.
The Corporation and the Bank engage in a wide range of commercial, personal banking, and trust activities primarily in central Indiana. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. There are no significant concentrations of loans to any one industry or customer. However, the customers’ ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general economic conditions in the area.
The Corporation has a full-service Wealth Management division, which offers trust, estate, retirement and money management services. Income from wealth management services is recognized when earned.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and the Bank. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (FIN 46), the Corporation does not consolidate the Trust in its financial statements. See Note 5, “Trust Preferred Securities” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of this report for further information. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, interest-bearing deposits, and instruments with maturities of one month or less when purchased. Interest-bearing deposits are available on demand. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.
Investment Securities: Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Management determines the appropriate classification of the securities at the time of purchase based on a policy approved by the Board of Directors.
When the Corporation classifies debt securities as held-to-maturity, it has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.
Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of other comprehensive income, net of taxes.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and the Corporation’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Stock: The Bank is a member of FHLB Indianapolis. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB and FRB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Loans Held for Sale: The Corporation periodically sells residential mortgage loans it originates based on the overall loan demand of the Corporation and outstanding balances of the residential mortgage portfolio. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market, determined on an aggregate basis. Gains from the sale of these loans into the secondary market are included in mortgage banking income. The determination of loans held for sale is based on the loan’s compliance with Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) underwriting standards.
Loans: Interest income on commercial, mortgage, and consumer loans is accrued on the principal amount of such loans outstanding and is recognized when earned. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.
Loans are typically placed on non-accrual when they become past due ninety days or it is determined that the obligor will not pay all contractual principal and interest due. Unless there is a significant reason to the contrary, consumer loans are charged off when deemed uncollectible, but generally no later than when a loan is past due 150 days. Any accrued interest is charged against interest income. Interest continues to legally accrue on these non-accrual loans, but no income is recognized for financial statement purposes. Both principal and interest payments received on non-accrual loans are applied to the outstanding principal balance, until the remaining balance is considered collectible, at which time interest income may be recognized when received.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is established though provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate based on management’s judgment by applying the principles of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 5, Accounting for Contingencies, SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures.
Within the allowance, there are specific and general loss components. The specific loss component is assessed for non-homogeneous loans that management believes to be impaired in accordance with SFAS 114. Loans are considered to be impaired when it is determined that the obligor will not pay all contractual principal and interest due. For loans determined to be impaired, the loan’s carrying value is compared to its fair value using one of the following fair value measurement techniques: present value of expected future cash flows, observable market price, or fair value of the associated collateral less costs to sell. An allowance is established when the fair value is lower than the carrying value of that loan. In addition to establishing allowance levels for specifically identified impaired loans, management determines an allowance for all other loans in the portfolio for which historical experience indicates that certain losses exist in accordance to SFAS 5. These loans are segregated by major product type and/or risk grade with an estimated loss ratio applied against each product type and/or risk grade. The loss ratio is generally based upon historic loss experience for each loan type as adjusted for certain environmental factors management believes to be relevant.
It is the policy of the Corporation to promptly charge off any commercial loan, or portion thereof, which is deemed to be uncollectible. This includes, but is not limited to, any loan rated “Loss” by the regulatory authorities. Impaired commercial credits are considered on a case-by-case-basis.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
An assessment of the adequacy of the allowance is performed on a quarterly basis. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is maintained a level that is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Mortgage Servicing Rights: Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through the sale of mortgage loans. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are reported in other assets. Through December 31, 2006, capitalized mortgage servicing rights were allocated as a portion of the cost of the loan based on relative fair values, and amortized and netted against mortgage banking income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Mortgage servicing rights were evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment was determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment was recorded in a valuation allowance.
On January 1, 2007, the Corporation adopted FASB Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (FASB No. 156), an amendment of FASB No. 140. FASB No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value. As permitted by FASB No. 156, the Corporation has elected to record mortgage servicing rights at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value reflected in earnings. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. The Corporation obtains fair value estimates from an independent third party and compares significant valuation model inputs to published industry data in order to validate the model assumptions and results.
Servicing fee income which is reported on the income statement as Mortgage banking income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights was netted against loan servicing fee income for the year ended December 31, 2006. Servicing fees totaled $278,215, $268,623, and $266,327 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material.
Transfer of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: During 2004, the Corporation entered into a three-year interest rate swap, which expired April 15, 2007. The interest rate swap was utilized to mitigate the risk of adverse interest rate movements on the value of future cash flows related to its investment in overnight Federal Funds sold. Pursuant to FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FASB No. 133), cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability, with a corresponding offset recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity, net of tax, to the extent the hedge was effective.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Under the cash flow hedge accounting method, derivative gains and losses not effective in hedging the change in expected cash flows of the hedged item were recognized immediately in the consolidated income statements. At the hedge’s inception and quarterly thereafter, a formal assessment was performed to determine whether changes in cash flows of the derivative instrument had been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item and whether they were expected to be highly effective in the future. If it was determined a derivative instrument had not been highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting was discontinued. There were no outstanding derivative instruments as of December 31, 2008, and December 31, 2007.
Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed by the straight-line method over their useful lives or, for leasehold improvements, the shorter of the remaining lease term or useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense when incurred, while improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining life.
Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance: The Corporation owns bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) on certain officers. Upon adoption of EITF 06-5, which is discussed further below, BOLI is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Prior to adoption of EITF 06-5, the Corporation recorded owned life insurance at its cash surrender value.
In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance — Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance){Issue}. This Issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the Issue requires disclosure when there are contractual restrictions on the Corporation’s ability to surrender a policy. The adoption of EITF 06-5 on January 1, 2007, had no impact on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operation.
Changes in the cash surrender values are included in other income. At December 31, 2008, and 2007 income recorded from BOLI totaled $449,778 and $476,196, respectively.
Long-Term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Securities Purchased Under Resale Agreements and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements: Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities sold under repurchase agreements are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amount at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. Securities, generally U.S. government and Federal agency securities, pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements cannot be sold by the secured party. The fair value of collateral either received from or provided to a third party is monitored and additional collateral is obtained or requested to be returned as deemed appropriate.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income is defined as net income plus other comprehensive income, which, under existing accounting standards, includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps utilized in an effective cash flow hedge program, net of deferred taxes. Comprehensive income is reported by the Corporation in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Earnings Per Share: Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares and the potentially dilutive shares that could be issued through stock award programs or convertible securities.
Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Based upon information presently available, we believe that the total amounts, if any, that will ultimately be paid arising from these claims and legal actions are reflected in the consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments: The fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment concerning several factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation: On January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted FASB Statement No. 123(R)’s, Share-Based Payment (FASB No. 123(R)), using the “modified prospective” transition method. FASB No. 123(R) requires that stock based compensation to employees be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on the fair value of the stock options on measurement date, which for the Corporation is the date of grant. The modified prospective method recognizes compensation costs beginning on January 1, 2006: (a) based on the requirements of FASB No. 123(R) for all share-based payments granted after that date and (b) based on the requirements of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FASB No. 123), for all awards granted to employees prior to that date that remain unvested prior to 2006.
FASB No. 123(R) requires that cash flows resulting from the tax benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense be reported as financing cash flows, rather than as operating cash flows as required by APB 25. While total cash flow remains unchanged, this requirement reduces operating cash flows and increases net financing cash flows by the same amount in periods after adoption.
New shares are issued upon share option exercise or restricted stock vesting.
Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) expense is the amount of matching contributions.
Reportable Segments: The Corporation has determined that it has one reportable segment, banking services. The Bank provides a full range of deposit, credit, and money management services to its target markets, which are small to medium size businesses, affluent executive and professional individuals, and not-for-profit organizations in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Statistical Area of Indiana.
Income Taxes: The Corporation and the Bank file a consolidated federal income tax return. The provision for income taxes is based upon income in the financial statements, rather than amounts reported on the Corporation’s income tax return.

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Corporation adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on the Corporation’s financial statements.
The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses, loan servicing rights, and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

NOTE 2 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FASB No. 157). FASB No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FAP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (as least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB No. 157 did not have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active. FSP 157-3 provides clarification of the application of FAS 157 in an inactive market. FSP 157-3 was effective for the Corporation’s financial statements as of September 30, 2008, and did not significantly impact the methods by which the Corporation determines fair value of its financial assets.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FASB No. 159). FASB No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Corporation did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008, the effective date of the standard.
On November 5, 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings (“SAB 109”). Previously, SAB 105, Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments, stated that in measuring the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, a company should not incorporate the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. SAB 109 supersedes SAB 105 and indicates that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in measuring fair value for all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SAB 105 also indicated that internally-developed intangible assets should not be recorded as part of the fair value of a derivative loan commitment, and SAB 109 retains that view. SAB 109 was effective for derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The impact of adoption was not material.
In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110, which expresses the views of the SEC regarding the use of a “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB No. 107, in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. The SEC concluded that a company could, under certain circumstances, continue to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The Company does not use the simplified method for share options and therefore SAB No. 110 has no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards:
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. FAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position and will apply to any business combinations prospectively.

NOTE 2 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. FAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Corporation does not expect the adoption of FAS No. 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133”. FAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 for derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosure about objectives and strategies for using derivative and hedging instruments, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of the instruments and gains and losses on such instruments, as well as disclosures about credit-risk features in derivative agreements. FAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.
NOTE 3 — RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK ACCOUNTS
The Corporation is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank or as cash on hand or on deposit with a correspondent bank. The required amount of reserve to be maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank was approximately $25,000 at December 31, 2008, and 2007.
NOTE 4 — JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
In September 2000, the Corporation established the Trust, a Connecticut statutory business trust, which subsequently issued $13,500,000 of company obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities and $418,000 of common securities. The proceeds from the issuance of both the capital and common securities were used by the Trust to purchase from the Corporation $13,918,000 fixed rate junior subordinated debentures. The capital securities and debentures mature September 7, 2030, or upon earlier redemption as provided by the Indenture. The Corporation has the right to redeem the capital securities, in whole or in part, but in all cases, in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000, on any March 7 or September 7 on or after September 7, 2010, at a premium, declining ratably to par on September 7, 2020. The capital securities and the debentures have a fixed interest rate of 10.60% and are guaranteed by the Bank. The subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust, and the Corporation owns all of the common securities of the Trust. The net proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of capital securities were used for general corporate purposes. The indenture, dated September 7, 2000, requires compliance with certain non-financial covenants.
In accordance with FIN 46(R), the Corporation does not consolidate the Trust in its financial statements. The junior subordinated debt obligation issued to the Trust of $13,918,000 is reflected in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008, and 2007. The junior subordinated debentures owed to the Trust and held by the Corporation qualify as Tier 1 capital for the Corporation under Federal Reserve Board guidelines.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008 and 2007
NOTE 5 — INVESTMENT SECURITIES (continued)
The Corporation held 98 investment securities as of December 31, 2008, of which the amortized cost was greater than market value. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2008, represents an other-than-temporary impairment. The Corporation has both the intent and ability to hold these securities for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost.
There were no unrealized losses for investments classified as available-for-sale.
The unrealized losses for investments classified as held-to-maturity is attributable to changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and individually were 11.6% or less of their respective amortized costs. The unrealized losses relate primarily to debt securities issued by various municipalities. The majority of these investment securities were purchased during 2005 and the first quarter of 2006 when rates were lower. The largest unrealized loss relates to one municipal that was purchased February 2006. As of December 31, 2008, all but three of the municipal debt securities were rated BBB or better (either as a result of insurance or the underlying rating on the bond). All interest payments are current for all municipal securities.
There are also unrealized losses related to the collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage backed securities . These securities were purchased in 2004 and the first quarter of 2008, when rates were lower than December 31, 2008. All of the CMOs and MBSs are backed by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). Given these investments are backed by a U.S. Government sponsored entity, we do not believe credit risk to be significant.
Investment securities with a carrying value of approximately $51,000,000 and $59,000,000 at December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively, were pledged as collateral for bankruptcy accounts to the U.S. Department of Justice, Treasury Tax and Loan, uninsured balances for Wealth Management clients and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

NOTE 11 — EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)
As of December 31, 2008, there was $1,687,941 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested options granted under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 2.5 years. The compensation cost that was recognized during 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $673,772, $697,153, $359,830, respectively.
The fair value for the options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: a dividend yield; volatility factor of the expected market price of the Corporation’s common stock; an expected life of the options of ten years; and the risk-free interest rate
The following is a summary of the weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model:
                         
Year   Dividend Yield     Volatility Factor     Risk-Free Rate  
 
                       
2008
          7.6484 %     4.37 %
2007
          3.9242 %     5.18 %
2006
          4.9623 %     5.32 %
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatilities of the Corporations’ common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The Corporation sponsors The National Bank of Indianapolis Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of substantially all of the employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. All employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries become participants in the 401(k) Plan after attaining age 18. The Corporation amended the plan January 1, 2006, with additional amendments in 2007 and 2008.
The Corporation expensed approximately $594,210, $504,943, and $464,000 for employee-matching contributions to the plan during 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may, in its discretion, make an additional matching contribution to the 401(k) Plan in such amount as the Board of Directors may determine. In addition, the Corporation may fund all, or any part of, its matching contributions with shares of its stock. The Corporation also may, in its discretion, make a profit-sharing contribution to the 401(k) Plan. No additional matching contributions or profit-sharing contributions have been made to the plan during 2008, 2007, or 2006.
An employee who has an interest in a qualified retirement plan with a former employer may transfer the eligible portion of that benefit into a rollover account in the 401(k) Plan. The participant may request that the trustee invests up to 25% of the fair market value for the 2008 plan year and 50% of the fair market value for the 2007 plan year of the participant’s rollover contribution to a maximum of $200,000 (valued as of the effective date of the contribution to the 401(k) Plan) in whole and fractional shares of the common stock to the Corporation.
NOTE 13 — REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS
Dividends from the Bank to the Corporation may not exceed the undivided profits of the Bank for the current year (included in consolidated retained earnings) combined with the retained undivided profits for the previous two years without prior approval of a federal regulatory agency. In addition, federal banking laws limit the amount of loans the Bank may make to the Corporation, subject to certain collateral requirements. No loans were made during 2008 or 2007 by the Bank to the Corporation. The Bank declared and paid a $1,315,000 and $1,300,000 dividend to the Corporation during 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of December 31, 2008, the Corporation and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of total qualifying capital to total adjusted asset (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2008, and 2007, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

NOTE 13 — REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS (continued)
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. As of December 31, 2008, and 2007, the most recent notification from the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below at year end.

NOTE 16 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance-sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.
The contractual amount of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were as follows:
                 
    2008     2007  
 
               
Unused commercial credit lines
  $ 231,794,720     $ 225,519,668  
Unused revolving home equity and credit card lines
    98,924,604       93,315,941  
Standby letters of credit
    24,224,588       17,039,672  
Demand deposit account lines of credit
    2,917,254       2,394,328  
 
           
 
  $ 357,861,166     $ 338,269,609  
 
           
The majority of commitments to fund loans are variable rate. The demand deposit account lines of credit are a fixed rate at 18% with no maturity.
The credit risk associated with loan commitments and standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to normal credit policies. Collateral may be obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.
The Corporation is party to various lawsuits and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, many of these proceedings are pending in jurisdictions that permit damage awards disproportionate to the actual economic damages alleged to have been incurred. Based upon information presently available, we believe that the total amounts, if any, that will ultimately be paid arising from these lawsuits and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 17 — FAIR VALUE
FASB No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASB No. 157 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) of identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.
The fair value of available for sale securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).
Mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value as permitted by FASB Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets (FASB No. 156). The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. The Corporation is able to compare the valuation model inputs and results to widely available published industry data for reasonableness.
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Impaired loans resulted in additional provision for loan losses of $4,627,950 for the year.

    2,222,051       2,222,051       2,823,121       2,823,121  
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments not recorded at fair value:
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and short-term investments, interest bearing deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, borrowings under repurchase agreements, variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Fair values for available-for-sale investment securities are determined as previously described. Fair values for held-to-maturity investment securities are determined in the same manner. For fixed rate loans or deposits or for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent pricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of FHLB advances are based upon discounted cash flows using rates for similar advances with the same maturities. The fair value of the subordinated debt and junior subordinated debentures are based upon discounted cash flows using rates for similar securities with the same maturities. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13(a)-15(e) or Rules 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the period covered by this Form 10-K, are effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management’s responsibilities related to establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures include maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting that are designed to produce reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. As disclosed in the Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting which is set forth on page 54 and is incorporated herein by reference, management assessed the Corporation’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2008, its system of internal control over financial reporting met those criteria and is effective.
Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by Crowe Horwath, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report, which is set forth on page 55 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in the Corporation’s internal controls over financial reporting that has occurred during the Corporation’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Corporation’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures and other internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

 

95


Table of Contents

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can only be reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the Corporation’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The Certifications are required in accord with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item of this report which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
