NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of St. Joseph Capital Corporation, a bank holding company located in Mishawaka, Indiana (the Company), its wholly owned subsidiary St. Joseph Capital Bank (the Bank) and Riverfront Partners, LLC, a real estate holding company which qualifies as a variable interest entity (VIE), of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Also, included in the consolidated financial statements is St. Joseph Capital Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, which began operations on September 28, 2004, as an investment subsidiary based in Wilmington, Delaware. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared by management without an audit by independent certified public accountants. However, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the St. Joseph Capital Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Because the results of operations are so closely related to and responsive to changes in economic conditions, the results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire year.

NOTE 2 - INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per common share shows the dilutive effect of stock options, where applicable. The weighted average share reconciliation is as follows:

SPECIAL NOTE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains (including information incorporated by reference), and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company’s management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.

The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

The strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts its operations, which may be less favorable than expected and may result in, among other things, a deterioration in the credit quality and value of the Company’s assets.

•

The economic impact of past and any future terrorist attacks, acts of war or threats thereof and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks.

•

The effects of, and changes in, federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies affecting banking, securities, insurance, and monetary and financial matters.

•

The effects of changes in interest rates (including the effects of changes in the rate of prepayments of the Bank’s assets) and the policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

•

The Company’s ability to compete with other financial institutions as effectively as the Company currently intends due to increases in competitive pressures in the financial services sector.

•

The Bank’s inability to obtain new clients and to retain existing clients.

•

The timely development and acceptance of products and services, including products and services offered through alternative delivery channels such as the Internet.

•

Technological changes implemented by the Company and by other parties, including third party vendors, which may be more difficult or more expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequences to the Company and its clients.

•

The Company’s ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems.

•

The Company’s ability to retain key executives and employees and the difficulty that it may experience in replacing key executives and employees in an effective manner.

•

Consumer spending and saving habits which may change in a manner that affects the Company’s business adversely.

•

Business combinations and the integration of acquired businesses that may be more difficult or expensive than expected.

•

The costs, effects, and outcomes of existing or future litigation.

•

Changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by state and federal regulatory agencies and the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

•

The Company’s ability to manage the risks associated with the foregoing as well as anticipated.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning the Company’s business including other factors that could materially affect the Company’s financial results is included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

The Company was formed in February 1996 for the purpose of organizing the Bank. The Company opened the Bank for business in February 1997 with $10.0 million in assets and has grown to approximately $450.8 million as of September 30, 2005. Management anticipates that, as a result of a modestly growing economy in the Michiana area and the increased asset size of the Company, the growth in assets may continue but the annual percentage growth rate may be lower than what was experienced historically. However, management does expect that the Company’s assets will grow by taking additional market share, expanding into new markets, expanding existing business lines, and as the local economy grows.

The Company continues to focus on the goals that were established at its inception. The Company offers a customized approach to serving its clients using an operating philosophy that emphasizes integrity in dealing with others, an extraordinary execution of service, and innovation with technology-driven delivery of products. This approach, along with management’s strong ties to the Indiana and Michigan communities it serves, has been the foundation of its success in building client relationships and maintaining controlled, profitable growth. This focus allows the Bank to operate in an effective and efficient manner providing exceptional client service yet permitting the Bank to be competitive in the marketplace. The operating philosophy is reflected in the results of the Company’s operations and should be considered as they are analyzed.

The focus on credit quality is evident as the Bank has not yet experienced a single loan charge-off, which in turn allows for more efficient use of the Company’s resources, including time, dollars, and energy. As a general rule, the most credit worthy borrowers are able to negotiate very favorable pricing terms in the market. Additionally, for strategic reasons, the Bank has historically retained substantially all of its residential mortgage loans , which are generally less risky than other types of loans. Therefore, the interest rates on residential mortgages are less than other types of term loans. These two factors have contributed to the superior asset quality record achieved by the Bank but have also contributed to a lower net interest margin.

Partially offsetting the lower net interest margin is the Company’s low overhead ratio (non-interest expense divided by average assets). A consistently low overhead ratio continues to allow for competitive product pricing and lower service charges for the Bank’s clients. Non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets was 1.63% for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 and 1.93% and 2.19% for the years ending 2004 and 2003. The Company was among the top three percent of peer banks in the country for non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets at September 30, 2005. Another important aspect of the Company’s operating philosophy is to continue to grow at an appropriate rate helping to control the fixed non-interest expenses allowing them to become a smaller percentage of total assets, which should assist in continuing to improve the Company’s return on average assets (ROAA) and return on average equity (ROAE).

The ROAA and ROAE have steadily increased from the inception of the Company. For the first nine months of 2005, annualized ROAA and ROAE were 0.76% and 11.96%. For the same period last year, annualized ROAA and ROAE were 0.73% and 9.09%. Management expects that, over time, the Company’s ROAA and ROAE will continue to improve as the Company’s fixed costs are further leveraged and as net income increases.

The following discussion provides additional information regarding the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The objective of this financial review is to enhance the reader’s understanding and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto and other information in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Certain of the Company's accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Some of the facts and circumstances, which could affect these judgments, include changes in interest rates, the performance of the economy or the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses.

Allowance for loan losses. The Company maintains an allowance to absorb probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management considers to be adequate based on ongoing monthly assessments and evaluations of the collectibility of the Bank’s loans. Provisions for loan losses are based on the management’s review of credit loss experience among its peers and such factors that, in management’s judgment, deserve consideration under existing economic conditions in estimating probable loan losses. Management’s strategy for credit risk management oversight includes a combination of conservative exposure limits below legal lending limits, conservative underwriting standards, and comprehensive loan documentation and review. The strategy also emphasizes diversification at the industry and client levels, regular credit examinations and periodic management reviews of large credit exposures and loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality.

The allowance for loan losses balance and the provision for loan losses are determined by management based upon periodic reviews of the loan portfolio. Through the loan review and credit department, management allocates specific portions of the allowance for loan losses based on specifically identifiable problem loans. In addition, as the Bank does not have an established charge-off history, management considers the level of charge-offs on loans experienced by local peer financial institutions having loan portfolio mix and risk characteristics similar to the Bank’s loan portfolio mix and risk characteristics. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of loss is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently anticipated based on the combination of the loss experience of the Bank and local peers, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position, collateral values, and other factors and estimates which all are subject to change over time. As the Company’s loan portfolio matures, the weighting of local peer financial institution charge-off experience will continue to decrease in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance and the weighting of the Company’s own loan loss experience will continue to increase as part of the allowance adequacy determination. Since the Company has not experienced any charge-offs in its history, the additional weighting of the Company’s experience is expected to continue to decrease the allowance for loan loss to loans ratio. The reserve analysis is reviewed regularly by management and the Board of Directors .

General allocations for loan types may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition. Factors that management considers in the analysis include the effects of the national and local economies, trends in the nature and volume of loans, changes in mix, asset quality trends, loan grades, risk management and loan administration, changes in the internal lending policies and credit standards, and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and the Bank’s internal independent loan reviews.

An unallocated reserve is maintained to recognize that an estimate is used when measuring loss and evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of loans. Reserves on individual loans and general allocation rates are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions.

While management's periodic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses may allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loan situations, the entire allowance is available for any loan charge-offs that occur.

The Company has not substantively changed its overall methodology in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. As the Company has matured and economic conditions have changed, the Company has made only minor changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impact the determination of the September 30, 2005 allowance for loan losses. The Bank has not experienced any charge-offs from loans receivable since inception and at September 30, 2005 no portion of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loan balances, as there were no loans considered impaired.

Based on the policy discussed above, management is of the opinion that the allowance of $3.6 million, which represents 1.08% of total loans, was adequate to absorb estimated loan losses associated with the loan portfolio at September 30, 2005. However, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provision for losses in the future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the first nine months of 2005, the Company’s total assets increased from $399.1 million on December 31, 2004, to $450.8 million on September 30, 2005. This represented a total increase in assets of $51.7 million or 13.0%.

The Company invested cash and cash equivalents into securities available for sale and loans during the first nine months of 2005, decreasing cash and cash equivalents by $26.4 million, from $45.3 million at December 31, 2004 to $18.9 million at September 30, 2005. The allocation of assets from cash and cash equivalents to securities available for sale and loans was expected, as disclosed at the end of 2004. For the second year in a row, there was delay in the receipt of property tax dollars from taxpayers used to fund Indiana municipalities. Property tax dollars were collected during November and December of 2004 for the entire tax year followed by the disbursement of funds to the municipalities. The Bank’s municipal clients began to deposit their funds toward the end of the fourth quarter of 2004. On the last business day of 2004, approximately $25.0 million in deposits were made by municipalities that significantly increased the balance of cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2004. The $25.0 million of municipal funds deposited on the last day of the year, along with other funds, were ultimately invested in securities available for sale and loans during the first quarter of 2005.

The $26.5 million or 45.5% increase in securities available for sale was a significant change in the Company’s assets for the nine months ending September 30, 2005. The growth experienced in securities available for sale was primarily in U.S. government and federal agency securities, from $38.0 million at December 31, 2004 to $57.9 million at September 30, 2005 , and obligations of states and political subdivision securities, from $14.7 million at December 31, 2004 to $20.5 million at September 30, 2005. The increase in securities available for sale was a result of the need to deploy funds from cash and cash equivalents due to the deposit growth at the end of 2004. During the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2005 the Company sold $9.8 million and $12.4 million to help fund the Company’s growth in the loan portfolio and as part of the decision to reallocate a portion of securities available for sale. The sale of these securities resulted in an $11,000 gain during the nine month period of 2005 but resulted in no gain or loss during the three month period ending September 30, 2005.

The Company’s loan portfolio increased $49.0 million or 17.6% during the first nine months of 2005 with little change in mix of the Company’s loan types since December 31, 2004. The continued concentration of the loan portfolio in commercial loans is consistent with the stated strategy of the Company to focus on small to mid-size businesses. Management anticipates this growth will continue as additional relationships are developed as a result of current calling efforts and the addition of new lending personnel. The deposit accounts related to the Bank’s commercial lending business generate the greatest amount of local deposits, and are a significant source of demand deposits.

The quality of the loan portfolio remains strong. The Company has not experienced any charge-offs since its inception. Management believes they have instilled a very strong credit culture within the lending department as it pertains to the underwriting and administration processes. Over 87.2 % of the loan portfolio consists of loans extended directly to companies and individuals doing business and residing within the Company’s market area or having strong ties to management. The remaining portion is comprised of commercial loans participated with certain non-affiliated commercial banks outside of the immediate area, which are underwritten using the same loan underwriting criteria as though the Bank was the originating bank.

The economy in the Company’s market area has had a steady but modest increase over the last couple of years, a trend that has continued during first nine months of 2005. During this period, the Company has grown while at the same time experiencing no significant change in asset quality or in non-performing loan totals. However, due to the slowdown in the rate of economic growth compared to the late 90’s, the modest rate of the growth in the economy during the recent years, increasing interest rates, uncertainty created by the various weather related natural disasters, and inflationary pressures, borrowers may experience repayment difficulties, and the level of non-performing loans, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise and require an increase in the provision for loan losses.

Premises and equipment increased from $2.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $3.3 million at September 30, 2005. The $885,000 increase was primarily due to the completion of the Bank’s new Elkhart, Indiana banking center. As discussed at year-end, due to the accounting guidance on consolidating variable interest entities, the Company has included the entire cost of the new Elkhart banking center building as part of its consolidated fixed assets. As part of the Company’s expansion into Elkhart, Indiana, the Company became a 49.0% owner in a limited liability corporation, Riverfront Partners, LLC (“LLC”), to help ensure that the Company had a level of control over its new location. The other owners, a local development group, own 51.0% of the new location and were responsible for the completion of the building and the ongoing management of the property. Due to the nature of the LLC it has been classified as a variable interest entity requiring it to be consolidated into the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s new Elkhart banking center occupies the first floor of a three-story facility and the impact to the Company’s net income will be the profit or loss in the LLC and the allocated expense for the portion of the building the Company occupies. On April 15, 2005, the new Elkhart banking center opened for business and the grand opening was held on May 18, 2005. Included in the three and nine month results for 2005 are additional costs for this new banking center; however, management believes that the net cost of the new location did not significantly impact the Company’s results for the first nine months of 2005 and does not expect a significant impact in the future. At September 30, 2005, the premises and equipment amount consolidated for the LLC was $1.6 million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2004.

Deposits increased $20.2 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, totaling $332.9 million, up from $312.7 million at December 31, 2004. Interest bearing deposits increased $36.8 million partially due to non-interest bearing deposits decreasing $16.6 million and moving to interest bearing deposits. As discussed above in the section on cash and cash equivalents, on December 31, 2004, deposits of approximately $25.0 million were made at the end of the day and therefore classified as non-interest bearing. On the next business day, when the funds were collected they became interest bearing. The increase of $20.2 million during the first nine months of 2005 was the result of normal deposit growth.

The Company’s municipal business line provides a significant percentage of the Company’s deposit funding and also contributes to the fluctuation in the Company’s short term funding balances as the municipal account balances increase and decrease. At September 30, 2005, $142.5 million or 42.8% of the $332.9 million of deposits are from the Company’s municipal business line. The typical funding pattern by which the municipalities operate is dependent on the collection of property tax dollars by the local governments. Most of the property taxes are collected in May and November by the local governments and the funding to the municipalities is provided in June and December. As the funds are used by the municipalities their account balances decrease until the next funding date. As these municipal balances fluctuate, the Company uses similar cost short-term funding sources to manage the funding needs.

As the municipal business line grows the Company anticipates more utilization of the corporate agency trust agreements that the Company’s municipal clients have entered into with the Bank’s Trust Department. These corporate agency trust relationships provide municipalities with another option for managing their accounts by allowing a portion of their deposited funds to be swept into their trust accounts which are off of the Bank’s balance sheet and does not require an allocation of the Bank’s capital. As additional funding is required at the Bank , the funds in the trust accounts can be swept back to their accounts at the Bank. With the utilization of these trust relationships the management of some of the fluctuation in their deposit accounts at the Bank due to the funding patterns without the use of short-term funding sources is possible. Depending on the asset growth of the Company the ability to utilize the Bank’s Trust Department as another option for the municipal clients will vary. The growth of this business line continues to be a focus for the Company and it is expected to continue to be a significant funding source for the Company.

Federal funds purchased increased $12.6 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 to $15.4 million. Federal funds purchased are used as temporary funding sources by the Bank to meet short-term liquidity needs. The Bank has over $43.5 million in federal funds lines established at correspondent banks. At times, there will be differences between the asset growth and the funding supporting that growth. The use of federal funds purchased provides short-term funding for these differences when funding is needed, as was the case at September 30, 2005.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLB”) advances increased $15.3 million from $41.7 million at December 31, 2004 to $57.0 million at September 30, 2005. This increase was the result of $20.0 million of overnight advances added during the three months ending September 30, 2005, and the maturity of $4.7 million of long-term advances during the same period. Overnight advances are used by the Company to assist in liquidity management from time to time primarily due to the expected changes in the balances in the Company’s municipal line of business and totaled $20.0 million at September 30, 2005. Long-term FHLB advances totaled $37.0 million at September 30, 2005 and are primarily used to assist in the overall asset and liability management of the Company. As of September 30, 2005, the Company held $3.2 million of FHLB stock.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $4.2 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2005. As part of the Company’s sweep accounts, collected funds from business clients’ noninterest-bearing checking accounts are invested into overnight interest-bearing repurchase agreements. Although not considered a deposit account and therefore not FDIC insured, the repurchase agreements from local corporate clients have historically been a very stable source of funding for the Bank.

Subordinated debentures increased $5.0 million from $3.0 million at December 31, 2004 to $8.0 million at September 30, 2005. On March 17, 2005, the Company issued $5.0 million of trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the issuance of the trust preferred securities were used to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from the Company that will be used for regulatory capital at both the Bank and the Company. The additional $5.0 million of trust preferred securities carry a fixed rate of interest that was priced using the five-year swap curve plus 175 basis points for a fixed rate of 6.27%. Due to the asset growth of the Company in excess of the rate of internal capital generation, management determined that this additional trust preferred issuance for regulatory capital was necessary to continue to be well capitalized for regulatory purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview. Consolidated net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 was $2.4 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2004 for an increase of $715,000 or 42.1%. Income per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $1.39 basic and $1.29 fully-diluted, compared to $0.98 basic and $0.94 fully-diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in net income for the first nine months of 2005 compared to the same period in the prior year was comprised of an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $979,000, an increase in non-interest income of $217,000, and a decrease in tax expense of $130,000. These were offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $611,000.

Consolidated net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, was $803,000 compared to $633,000 for the same period in 2004 for an increase of $170,000 or 26.9%. Income per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased to $0.46 basic and $0.43 fully-diluted, compared to $0.37 basic and $0.35 fully-diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in the prior year was comprised of an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $231,000, an increase in non-interest income of $64,000, and a decrease in tax expense of $104,000. These were offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $229,000.

Net Interest Income. The largest component of net income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loans and securities available for sale, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings. Changes in the net interest income are the result of changes in volume, net interest spread, and net interest margin. Volume refers to the average dollar levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $7.7 million, an increase of $756,000 or 11.0% over the $6.9 million earned during the same period in 2004. Yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets increased by 56 basis points to 5.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from 4.82% for the same period in 2004. The increased yield was the result of the change in the mix of assets along with rising interest rates. Interest income increased $5.2 million from $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $15.7 million for the same period in 2005. This increase was due to the higher yields received on interest earning assets but also due to the increased volume in interest earning assets. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 105 basis points during these same periods, primarily due to a higher rate environment . Interest expense increased $4.4 million from $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $8.0 million for the same period in 2005. This increase was due to the higher rates paid being paid on the Company’s interest bearing liabilities but also due to the increased volume in interest bearing liabilities. Due to a more significant increase in the rates paid on the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities compared to the increase in the yield on the Company’s interest-earning assets, offset with the growth of the Company’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the net interest margin declined 49 basis points from 3.18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to 2.69% for the same period in 2005.

The continued rise in short-term interest rates combined with a slower rise in long-term interest rates has flattened the yield curve. This flattening has impacted the cost of the Company’s interest bearing liabilities more significantly than the yields available on the Company’s interest earning assets, resulting in the compression of the net interest margin. The interest bearing liabilities were partially impacted due to the increase in short-term interest rates during 2005 combined with the growth in the municipal business line. The rates paid to a significant portion of the Company’s municipal accounts are indexed to the short-term rates and adjust daily which has contributed to the higher interest expense.

Management believes that the current level of interest rates is significantly driven by external factors and that the net interest margin could continue to compress if a flat yield curve continues and the Company continues to grow. As the Company grows, the additional leveraging of capital increases the percentage of interest-bearing liabilities used to fund the asset growth and can also push the net interest margin lower. If long-term interest rates continue to increase at a slow pace, net interest income can be increased by growth in interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets. Management expects short-term interest rates to continue to increase during the remainder of 2005. Therefore, the Company will continue its effort to optimize its asset mix, and thereby seek to help neutralize the net interest margin impact associated with a changing rate environment and continue to add volume to the balance sheet to increase net interest income in the future.

Net interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $2.6 million, an increase of $136,000 or 5.6% over the $2.4 million earned during the same period in 2004. Yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets increased by 61 basis points to 5.58% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from 4.97% for the same period in 2004. The increased yield was the result of the change in the mix of assets along with rising interest rates. Interest income increased $1.9 million from $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $5.7 million for the same period in 2005. This increase was due to the higher yields received on interest earning assets, but also due to the increased volume in interest earning assets. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 129 basis points during the same period due to the higher rate environment. Interest expense increased $1.8 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $3.1 million for the same period in 2005. This increase was due to the higher rates paid on the Company’s interest bearing liabilities but also due to the increased volume in interest bearing liabilities. Due to a more significant increase in the rates paid on the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities compared to the increase in the yield on the Company’s interest-earning assets, offset with the growth of the Company’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the net interest margin declined 66 basis points from 3.26% for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to 2.60% for the same period in 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005, no provision expense was recorded. This reflec ted a decrease from the $95,000 and $223,000 expensed during the same periods in 2004. Management’s decision not to record any provision expense for the first nine months of 2005 was attributed to the credit quality that the Company has experienced since its inception combined with the result of management’s loan loss reserve analysis, which is used in determining the amount of allowance for loan loss required for the loan portfolio. The additional weighting of the Company’s own loan loss experience in the reserve analysis also has contributed to the decision to decrease the allowance for loan loss as a percentage of gross loans. The reserve analysis, along with other relevant allowance for loan loss details, is included in the Critical Accounting Policy section located in this document. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding as of September 30, 2005 was 1.08% compared to 1.27% at December 31, 2004 and 1.26% at September 30, 2004. If the Company’s continued loss experience is similar to the past and the local economy remains stable or improves, it is expected that the reserve analysis will continue to require a smaller allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans outstanding, however, additional loan growth would likely require some level of provision expense in the future based upon the reserve analysis.

The Bank has not experienced any charge-offs from loans receivable since inception. At September 30, 2005, no portion of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loan balances, as there were no loans considered impaired. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2005 was adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio, including probable incurred losses due to the current state of the economy. However, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provision for losses in the future.

Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income increased by $217,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and by $64,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004. Non-interest income during the first nine months of 2005 consisted primarily of depository account service fees, interchange income on credit cards, securities gains, and the recording of the increase in the cash surrender value of the bank owned life insurance. The non-interest income for the 2004 period included a net gain on the sale of securities of $106,000 and $29,000 compared to $0 and $11,000 included for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005. The sale of available for sale securities during 2005 was to provide liquidity for the Bank to fund the growth in the loan portfolio. Due to the Company’s operating philosophy, which includes a general aversion to excessive service charges on deposit accounts, significant changes in service charges would not be expected except as a result of continued growth in deposit relationships.

The addition of bank owned life insurance has been the most significant increase to non-interest income. It produced $276,000 of non-interest income in the first nine months of 2005 and $96,000 for the three months ending September 30, 2005 as compared to $0 for the same periods in 2004. Management anticipates that non-interest income will continue to increase during 2005 compared to 2004 primarily from the increase in cash surrender value during the year.

Non-interest Expense. The main components of non-interest expense were salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $5.2 million as compared to $4.7 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of $611,000 or 13.4%. Non-interest expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 was $1.7 million as compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2004, an increase of $229,000 or 15.1%. While overhead continues to increase as the Company continues to grow, management remains focused on controlling these expenses without impairing the quality of service provided to clients or the ability to grow the Company.

Salaries and employee benefits, which are the largest component of non-interest expense, experienced the most significant dollar increase of any non-interest expense component. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, total salaries and employee benefits were $3.6 million compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2004. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2005, total salaries and employee benefits were $1.2 million compared to $1.1 for the same period in 2004. The increase in employee salaries and benefits was a result of merit increases and the hiring of eighteen new employees since September 30, 2004 in order to continue to grow the business as well as to provide high quality client service.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $94,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and $42,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 when comparing to the same periods in 2004. The Company has experienced an increase in occupancy and equipment expense due to the addition of the Elkhart banking center and additional investing in technology but does not expect these additional costs to be significantly different than what was experienced in the third quarter of 2005. The efficiency ratio s for the Company for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2005 were 62.0 % and 61.6% compared to 58.0% and 63.5% for the same period s at September 30, 2004.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $792,000 during the first nine months of 2005 compared to $922,000 during the same period of 2004. The effective tax rates were 24.7% and 35.2% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the first nine months of 2005 was, among other items, the result of an increase in the tax exempt interest income from additional purchases of municipal securities, tax exempt non-interest income from bank owned life insurance, and the transfer of most all of the investment securities portfolio to the Bank’s Delaware investment subsidiary reducing the state tax liability from the interest income received at the subsidiary. Management anticipates that these recently implemented tax planning strategies will help maintain the effective tax rate for the remainder of the year at approximately the same level as experienced in the first nine months of 2005.

Income tax expense was $268,000 during the three month period ended September 30, 2005 compared to $372,000 during the same period of 2004. The effective tax rates were 25.02% and 37.0% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2005 was, among other items, the result of an increase in the tax exempt interest income from additional purchases of municipal securities, tax exempt non-interest income from bank owned life insurance, and the transfer of most all of the investment securities portfolio to the Bank’s Delaware investment subsidiary reducing the state tax liability from the interest income received at the subsidiary.

LIQUIDITY

The Company’s liquidity is measured by the ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital or cash flow from the repayment or maturities of loans and securities and net profits. These monies are used to fund loan requests, meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, and support operations. Liquidity is primarily achieved through the growth of deposits (both local and out-of-area) and by maintaining liquid assets such as securities available for sale, matured securities, and federal funds sold. Asset and liability management is the process of managing the balance sheet to achieve a mix of earning assets and liabilities in such a way that manages interest rate risk and assists in achieving an acceptable level of profitability. An important part of the overall asset and liability management process is providing adequate liquidity. Liquid assets were $103.7 million at September 30, 2005 compared to $103.6 million at December 31, 2004.

The Company’s liquidity strategy is to fund loan growth with deposits, repurchase agreements, and FHLB advances and to maintain an adequate level of short- and medium-term investments to meet typical daily loan and deposit activity. Although deposit and repurchase agreement growth from depositors located in the market area have consistently increased, the growth has not been sufficient at times to meet the substantial loan growth and provide monies for additional investing activities. To assist in providing the additional needed funds, the Company has obtained certificates of deposit from customers outside of the market area and placed by deposit brokers for a fee, as well as certificates of deposit obtained from the deposit owners directly. As of September 30, 2005, brokered deposits totaled $22.3 million, or 6.7% of combined deposits and repurchase agreements, compared to $50.7 million, or 15.7% of combined deposits and repurchase agreements, as of December 31, 2004. The acceptance of brokered deposits is expected to be an ongoing activity due to the Company’s planned future growth.

The Bank has the ability to borrow money on a daily basis through correspondent banks via established federal funds purchased lines; however, this is viewed as only a secondary and temporary source of funds. The average balance of federal funds purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 equaled $7.8 million, compared to a $1.1 million average federal funds sold during the same period.

As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to the FHLB's borrowing programs. Based on ownership of FHLB stock and available collateral at September 30, 2005, the Bank could borrow up to approximately $109.6 million. As of September 30, 2005, $57.0 million in FHLB advances was outstanding. The availability could continue to increase if the loan and investment portfolios grow in the future.

In addition to typical loan funding and deposit flow, the Company must maintain liquidity to meet the demands of certain unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit. As of September 30, 2005, there were a total of $95.8 million in unfunded loan commitments and $5.3million in unfunded standby letters of credit. Fluctuations in loan balances and commitment levels are monitored, with such data being used in managing overall liquidity.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' equity is a noninterest-bearing source of funds that provides support for asset growth. Shareholders' equity increased by $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2005, from $26.5 million at December 31, 2004, to $28.5 million at September 30, 2005. The increase was primarily attributable to net income of $2.4 million recorded during the first nine months of 2005 and $188,000, primarily from the exercise of stock options, offset by a $440,000 decrease in the mark-to-market adjustment for available for sale securities as defined in SFAS No. 115 and $261,000 paid in cash dividends to shareholders. The adjustment downward in the mark-to-market available for sale securities was the result of increasing interest rates during the first nine months of 2005. This downward adjustment in the mark-to-market available for sale securities was due to market conditions and does not represent any permanent deterioration in the underlying principal value of an individual investment. As individual investments reach their contractual maturities, no losses are expected.

The Company is subject to regulatory capital requirements primarily administered by federal banking regulatory agencies. Failure to meet the various capital requirements can cause regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Since the Bank commenced operations, both the Company and the Bank have been categorized as "Well Capitalized," the highest classification contained within the banking regulations.

The components of total risk-based capital are Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital is total shareholders’ equity less intangible assets plus qualifying trust preferred securities. Tier 2 capital is Tier 1 capital plus a portion of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is includable in Tier 2 capital up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities available for sale, net of tax, is not considered in meeting regulatory capital requirements. The following table provides the minimum regulatory capital requirements and the actual capital ratios at September 30, 2005:

In July 2003, St. Joseph Capital Trust I, a business trust subsidiary of the Company, sold $3.0 million in trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from the Company. The trust preferred securities carry a variable rate of interest priced at the three-month libor plus 305 basis points, have a stated maturity of 30 years, and, in effect, are guaranteed by the Company. The securities are redeemable at par after 5 years. The debentures will mature and the capital securities must be redeemed in 2033, although the Company has the option to shorten the maturity date to a date not earlier than September 30, 2008, pending the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, if required.

In March 2005, St. Joseph Capital Trust II, a business trust subsidiary of the Company, sold $5.0 million in trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from the Company. The trust preferred securities carry a fixed rate of 6.27% and have a stated maturity of 30 years, and, in effect, are guaranteed by the Company. The securities are redeemable at par after 5 years. The debentures will mature and the capital securities must be redeemed in 2035, although the Company has the option to shorten the maturity date to a date not earlier than March 31, 2010, pending the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, if required.

The $8.0 million of trust preferred securities are carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as subordinated debentures and the interest expense is recorded on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. These trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 capital.

MANAGEMENT OF INTEREST SENSITIVITY

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure of the Company’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. The Company derives its income primarily from the excess of interest collected on its interest-earning assets over the interest paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. The rates of interest the Company earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, the Company is exposed to lower profitability if it cannot adapt to interest rate changes. Accepting interest rate risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value; however, excessive levels of interest rate risk could pose a significant threat to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains interest rate risk at prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.

Evaluating the exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the process used to control interest rate risk and the quantitative level of exposure. The Company’s interest rate risk management process seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management, information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain interest rate risk at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. In evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk, management assesses the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on the Company’s financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and asset quality.

Management uses three interest rate risk measurement techniques. The first, which is commonly referred to as GAP analysis, measures the difference between the dollar amounts of interest sensitive assets and liabilities that will be refinanced or re-priced during a given time period. A significant re-pricing gap could result in a negative impact to the Company’s net interest margin during periods of changing market interest rates.

The second interest rate risk measurement used is commonly referred to as net interest income simulation analysis. Management believes that this methodology provides a more accurate measurement of interest rate risk than the GAP analysis, and therefore, serves as one of its primary interest rate risk measurement techniques. The simulation model assesses the direction and magnitude of variations in net interest income resulting from potential changes in market interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on various loan and investment assets; cash flows and maturities of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities; and changes in market conditions impacting loan and deposit volume and pricing. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment; therefore, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or exactly predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and the Company's strategies, among other factors.

Management conducted multiple simulations as of September 30, 2005, during which it was assumed that a simultaneous, instant and sustained change in market interest rates occurred. Results of the simulation suggest that the Company could expect net interest income to increase by approximately $208,000 if interest rates gradually decline by 100 basis points over the next twelve months, and to decrease approximately $195,000 if interest rates gradually increase 100 basis points over the next twelve months, from forecast levels of net interest income absent any changes in rates. These variances in net interest income were within the Company’s policy parameters established to manage interest rate risk. Other simulations are run quarterly looking at changes to net interest income given 200 and 300 basis point changes in interest rates.

The third interest rate risk measurement used is commonly referred to as an “EVE” analysis or an Economic Value of Equity analysis. Along with the simulation analysis, management believes that the EVE analysis methodology provides a more accurate measurement of interest rate risk than the GAP analysis, and therefore, serves as one of management’s primary interest rate risk measurement techniques. The EVE analysis assesses the impact to the value of equity given potential changes in market interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on various loans, discount rates and the duration of assets and liabilities as determined by the federal regulatory agencies. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment; therefore, the model cannot precisely estimate the value of equity or exactly predict the impact that higher or lower interest rates will have on the value of equity. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and the Company's strategies, among other factors.

Results of the economic value of equity analysis done as of September 30, 2005, suggest that the Company could expect the value of its equity to decrease 3.4% and 7.2%, if there was an immediate interest rate shift upward of 100 and 200 basis points and to increase 2.3% and 1.5%, if there was an immediate interest rate shift downward of 100 and 200 basis points. Management believes the different scenarios indicate a financial services organization that has relatively low overall interest rate risk.

Austin Advisors, Inc., a firm specializing in consulting and providing assistance to banks, performs a formal asset/liability management analysis on a monthly basis. This information is presented and reviewed by the asset/liability committee.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The majority of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature and therefore the Company differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in fixed assets or inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry and the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio. Inflation significantly affects non-interest expense, which tends to rise during periods of general inflation.
