Our  
 Time

It  has  been  18  years  since  First  Internet  Bank  opened  its  virtual  doors  to  the  public  on 

February 22, 1999. While 216 months may seem relatively brief measured against the span 

of American banking history, we have accomplished amazing things in that short period 

of time. In fact, in 2016 our assets grew 46%, loans increased by 31% and we had record net 

income and earnings per share.  

We  have  succeeded  because  we  are  built  for  today—lean,  efficient  and  engineered 

specifically for the digital age. Now we are poised for even more growth. And we plan to 

continue revolutionizing the delivery of financial services in ways thought impossible just 

a few years ago. 

This is our time. And we are excited to show you all the reasons why.

Dear Fellow 
Shareholder,

Building  shareholder  value  through  company 

growth remained our priority. We added more 

than  $78  million  in  market  capitalization  in 

2016.  In  June,  First  Internet  Bancorp  joined 

the  Russell  3000®  Index.  Three  months  later, 
our  common  stock  transitioned  from  the  

NASDAQ  Capital  Market  to  the  NASDAQ

Without  question,  the  digital  revolution  will 

continue  to  reshape  the  banking  experience. 

But as easy as it can be to rely on technology 

to  provide  services  for  our  customers,  we 

haven’t  forgotten  that  there  is  no  substitute 

for  genuine  human  interaction  in  certain 

situations.  Nurturing  customer  relationships 

will  always  be  an  important  part  of  our 

business,  no  matter  how  digital  our  industry 

becomes. When our customers succeed, so do 

we. (We have some terrific customer success 

stories in the pages that follow.)

Moving 

forward,  I  believe  we  are  well 

positioned  to  capitalize  on  the  market 

opportunities  ahead.  Already  this  year,  in 

early  2017,  we  further  diversified  our  lines 

of  business  with  the  addition  of  a  public 

finance  lending  team.  The  announcement 

reflects  our  entrepreneurial  spirit  and 

signals our intention to continue our growth 

by  generating  high-quality  assets  and 

diversifying our revenue streams.

Steve’s come a long way since his Monopoly-

playing days. As one of Indiana’s premier real 

estate  developers,  the  Henke  Development 

Group has had a hand in developing some of 

Central  Indiana’s  most  stunning  properties, 

including  the  Bridgewater  Club  in  Carmel 

and the Westfield Grand Park Sports Campus. 

Today,  Steve  is  concentrating  on  Chatham 

Hills,  his  newest  development  in  Westfield. 

With  verdant  landscapes,  gorgeous  homes 

and  a  world-class  golf  course  designed  by 

the legendary Pete Dye, it might be his most 

impressive yet. 

Creating  communities  like  Chatham  Hills 

takes  a  financial  partner  with  a  detailed 

understanding  of  the  real  estate  business. 

That’s why Steve trusts First Internet Bank.

Business

General

PART I

First Internet Bancorp is a bank holding company that conducts its primary business activities through its wholly-owned 
subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana, an Indiana chartered bank. First Internet Bank of Indiana was the first state-chartered, 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured Internet bank and commenced banking operations in 1999. First Internet 
Bancorp was incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana on September 15, 2005. On March 21, 2006, we consummated 
a plan of exchange by which we acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Bank. 

When we refer to “First Internet Bancorp,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in the remainder of this annual report 
on Form 10-K, we mean First Internet Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. References 
to  “First  Internet  Bank”  or  the  “Bank”  refer  to  First  Internet  Bank  of  Indiana,  an  Indiana  chartered  bank  and  wholly-owned 
subsidiary of the Company.

We offer a wide range of commercial, small business, consumer and municipal banking products and services.  We conduct 
our consumer and small business deposit operations primarily through online channels on a nationwide basis and have no traditional 
branch offices.  Our residential mortgage products are offered nationwide primarily through an online direct-to-consumer platform 
and are supplemented with Central Indiana-based mortgage and construction lending.  Our consumer lending products are primarily 
originated on a nationwide basis over the Internet as well as through relationships with dealerships and financing partners. 

Our commercial banking products and services are delivered through a relationship banking model and include commercial 
real estate (“CRE”) banking, commercial and industrial (“C&I”) banking and public finance.  Through our CRE team, we offer 
single tenant lease financing on a nationwide basis in addition to traditional investor commercial real estate and construction loans 
primarily within Central Indiana and adjacent markets.  To meet the needs of commercial borrowers and depositors located primarily 
in Central Indiana, Phoenix, Arizona and adjacent markets, our C&I banking team provides credit solutions such as lines of credit, 
term loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and corporate credit cards as well as treasury management services.  Our 
public finance team, established in early 2017, provides a range of public and municipal lending and leasing products to government 
entities on a nationwide basis.

As of December 31, 2016, we had total assets of $1.9 billion, total liabilities of $1.7 billion, and shareholders’ equity of 

$153.9 million. We employed 192 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2016.

Our principal executive offices are located at 11201 USA Parkway, Fishers, Indiana 46037 and our telephone number is 

(317) 532-7900.

Subsidiaries

The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Internet Public Finance Corp., which was organized in early 2017 
and provides a range of public and municipal finance lending and leasing products to governmental entities throughout the United 
States and acquires securities issued by state and local governments and other municipalities, and JKH Realty Services, LLC, 
which manages other real estate owned properties as needed.

Performance

Balance Sheet Growth.  Total assets have increased 191.4% from $636.4 million at December 31, 2012 to $1.9 billion at 
December 31, 2016. This increase was driven primarily by strong organic growth. During the same time period, loans increased 
from $358.2 million to $1.3 billion and deposits increased from $530.7 million to $1.5 billion, increases of 249.2% and 175.7%, 
respectively. Our sustained growth profile is the result of our flexible and highly scalable Internet banking platform that allows 
us to target a broad reach of customers across all 50 states. Additionally, key strategic commercial banking hires have enabled us 
to further expand our product offerings on both a local and national basis. At December 31, 2016, commercial loans comprised 
66.6% of loans compared to 30.9% at December 31, 2012.

Earnings Growth. Net income has increased 115.4% from $5.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012
to $12.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. Diluted earnings per share have increased 17.9% from $1.95
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 to $2.30 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

Asset Quality.  We have maintained a high quality loan portfolio due to our emphasis on a strong credit culture, conservative 
underwriting standards, disciplined risk management processes, and a diverse national and local customer base.  At December 31, 
2016, our nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.31%, our nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.09% and our allowance 
for loan losses to total loans was 0.88%.

Strategic Focus

We operate on a national basis through our scalable Internet banking platform to gather deposits and offer residential 
mortgage and consumer lending products rather than relying on a conventional brick and mortar branch system. We primarily 
conduct commercial banking, including CRE and C&I, and related activities on a local basis, except for single tenant lease financing 
and public finance which are offered nationwide. Our overriding strategic focus is enhancing franchise and shareholder value 
while maintaining strong risk management policies and procedures. We believe the continued creation of franchise and shareholder 
value will be driven by profitable growth in commercial and consumer banking, effective underwriting, strong asset quality and 
efficient technology-driven operations.

National Focus on Deposit and Consumer Banking Growth.  Our first product offerings were basic deposit accounts, 
certificates of deposit, electronic bill pay and credit cards. Within 90 days of opening, we had accounts with consumers in all 
50 states. Over the years, we added consumer loans, lines of credit, home equity loans and single-family mortgages. Our footprint 
for deposit gathering and these consumer lending activities is the entire nation. With the use of our Internet-based technology 
platform, we do not face geographic boundaries that traditional banks must overcome for customer acquisition. Armed with smart 
phones, tablets and computers, our customers can access our online banking system, bill pay, and remote deposit capture 24 hours 
a day, seven days a week, on a real-time basis. In addition, we have dedicated banking specialists who can service customer needs 
via telephone, email or online chat. We intend to continue to expand our deposit base by leveraging technology and through targeted 
marketing efforts. 

Commercial Banking Growth.  We have diversified our operations by adding commercial banking and public finance to 
complement our consumer platform. We offer traditional CRE loans, single tenant lease financing, C&I loans, corporate credit 
cards, treasury management services and public and municipal finance loans and leases. Our commercial lending teams consist 
of seasoned commercial bankers, many of whom have had extensive careers with larger money center, super-regional or regional 
banks. These lenders leverage deep market knowledge and experience to serve commercial borrowers with a relationship-based 
approach.  We intend to continue expanding our commercial banking platform by hiring additional seasoned loan officers and 
relationship managers with specialized market or product expertise. 

Experience.  Our management team and our Board of Directors are integral to our success. Our management team and 
Board of Directors are led by David B. Becker, the founder of First Internet Bank of Indiana. Mr. Becker is a seasoned business 
executive and entrepreneur with over three decades of management experience in the financial services and financial technology 
space, and has served as Chief Executive Officer since 2005. Mr. Becker has been the recipient of numerous business awards, 
including Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2001, and was inducted into the Central Indiana Business Hall of Fame in 
2008. The senior management team consists of individuals with backgrounds in both regional and community banking and financial 
technology services. The senior management team is overseen by a dedicated Board of Directors with a wide range of experience 
from careers in financial services, legal and regulatory services, and industrial services.

Increased Efficiency Through Technology.  We have built a scalable banking platform based upon technology as opposed 
to a traditional branch network.  We intend to continue leveraging this infrastructure as well as investing in and utilizing net 
technologies to compete more effectively as we grow in the future. Through our online account access services, augmented by 
our team of dedicated banking specialists, we can satisfy the needs of our retail and commercial customers in an efficient manner. 
Our data processing systems run on a “real-time” basis, unlike many banks that run a “batch system,” so customers benefit from 
an up-to-the-minute picture of their financial position, particularly our commercial customers who complete numerous transactions 
in a single day.  We believe that our business model and digital banking processes are capable of supporting continued growth and 
producing a greater level of operational efficiency, which should drive increasing profitability.

Expand Asset Generation and Revenue Channels.  Our geographic and credit product diversity have produced sustained 
balance sheet and earnings growth.  We expect to continue exploring additional asset and revenue generation capabilities that 
complement our commercial and consumer banking platforms.  These efforts may include adding personnel or teams with product, 
industry or geographic expertise or through strategic acquisitions.

Lending Activities 

We earn interest income on loans as well as fee income from the origination of loans.  Lending activities include loans 
to individuals, which primarily consist of residential real estate loans,  home equity loans and lines of credit, and consumer loans, 
and loans to commercial clients, which include C&I loans, CRE loans, municipal loans and leases, lines of credit, letters of credit, 
and single tenant lease financing. Residential real estate loans are either retained in our loan portfolio or sold to secondary investors, 
with gains or losses from the sales being recognized within noninterest income. Refer to Note 4 of the financial statements for 
further discussion of each loan portfolio segment as of December 31, 2016.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds

We obtain deposits through the ACH network (direct deposit as well as customer-directed transfers of funds from outside 
financial  institutions),  remote  and  mobile  deposit  capture,  mailed  checks,  wire  transfers  and  a  deposit-taking ATM  network. 
Additionally, we had approximately $5.6 million in brokered time deposits at December 31, 2016 that were originated in prior 
years.

The Bank does not own or operate any ATMs. Through network participation, the Bank’s customers are able to use nearly 
any ATM  worldwide  to  withdraw  cash. The  Bank  currently  rebates  up  to  $10.00  per  customer  per  month  for  surcharges  our 
customers incur when using an ATM owned by another institution. Management believes this program is more cost effective for 
the Bank, and more convenient for our customers, than it would be to build and maintain a proprietary nationwide ATM network.

By providing robust online capabilities, quality customer service and competitive pricing for the products and services 
offered, we have been able to develop relationships with our customers and build brand loyalty. As a result, we are not dependent 
upon costly account acquisition campaigns to attract new customers on a continual basis.

Competition

The markets in which we compete to make loans and attract deposits are highly competitive.

For retail banking activities, we compete with other banks that use the Internet as a primary service channel, including 
Ally Bank, EverBank and Bank of Internet. However, we also compete with other banks, savings banks, credit unions, investment 
banks, insurance companies, securities brokerages and other financial institutions, as nearly all have some form of Internet delivery 
for their services. For residential mortgage lending, competitors that use the Internet as a primary service channel include Quicken 
Loans and LoanDepot. However, we also compete with money center and superregional banks in residential mortgage lending, 
including Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo.

For our traditional commercial lending activities, we compete with larger financial institutions operating in the Midwest 
and Central Indiana regions, including KeyBank, PNC Bank, Chase, BMO Harris, Huntington National Bank and First Financial 
Bank.  In the Southwest, competitors include Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Bank of Arizona and CoBiz Bank.  
For our single tenant lease financing activities, we compete nationally with regional banks, local banks and credit unions, as well 
as life insurance companies and commercial mortgage-backed securities lenders.  Examples of these competitors include Wells 
Fargo, First Savings Bank, CapStar Bank, EverBank and StanCorp.  For our public finance activities, we compete nationally with 
superregional and regional banks, such as Huntington National Bank, Key Bank, Capital One, Sterling National Bank and Texas 
Capital Bank.  These competitors may have significantly greater financial resources and higher lending limits than we do, and 
may also offer specialized products and services that we do not.

In the United States, banking has experienced widespread consolidation over the last decade leading to the emergence 
of several large nationwide banking institutions. These competitors have significantly greater financial resources and offer many 
branch locations as well as a variety of services we do not. We have attempted to offset some of the advantages of the larger 
competitors by leveraging technology to deliver product solutions and better compete in targeted segments. We have positioned 
ourselves as an alternative to these institutions for consumers who do not wish to subsidize the cost of large branch networks 
through high fees and unfavorable rates.

We anticipate that consolidation will continue in the financial services industry and perhaps accelerate as a result of 
intensified competition for the same customer segments and significantly increased regulatory burdens and rules that are expected 
to increase expenses and put pressure on earnings.

Regulation and Supervision

The Company and the Bank are extensively regulated under federal and state law. The Company is a registered bank 
holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHCA”) and, as such, is subject to regulation, supervision 
and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). The Company is required to 
file reports with the Federal Reserve on a quarterly basis.

The Bank is an Indiana-chartered bank formed pursuant to the Indiana Financial Institutions Act (the “IFIA”). As such, 
the Bank is regularly examined by and subject to regulations promulgated by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the 
“DFI”) and the FDIC as its primary federal bank regulator. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.

The regulatory environment affecting the Company has been and continues to be altered by the enactment of new statutes 
and the adoption of new regulations as well as by revisions to, and evolving interpretations of, existing regulations. State and 
federal  banking  agencies  have  significant  discretion  in  the  conduct  of  their  supervisory  and  enforcement  activities  and  their 
examination policies. Any change in such practices and policies could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations 
and financial condition.

The following discussion is intended to be a summary of the material statutes, regulations and regulatory directives that 
are currently applicable to us. It does not purport to be comprehensive or complete and it is expressly subject to and modified by 
reference to the text of the applicable statutes, regulations and directives.

The Dodd-Frank Act

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) comprehensively reformed 
the regulation of financial institutions and the products and services they offer. Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act noted 
in this section are also discussed in other sections. Furthermore, many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require further 
study or rulemaking by federal agencies, a process which will take years to implement fully.

Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Act provides for new capital standards that eliminate or restrict the treatment of 
trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital based on the asset size of an institution. The Company has never issued any trust preferred 
securities. The Dodd-Frank Act permanently raised deposit insurance levels to $250,000, retroactive to the beginning of 2008.  
Pursuant to modifications under the Dodd-Frank Act, deposit insurance assessments are now being calculated based on an insured 
depository institution’s assets rather than its insured deposits, and the minimum reserve ratio of the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance 
Fund (the “DIF”) has been raised to 1.35%. The payment of interest on business demand deposit accounts is permitted by the 
Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the Federal Reserve to regulate interchange fees for debit card transactions and 
established new minimum mortgage underwriting standards for residential mortgages. Further, the Dodd-Frank Act barred certain 
banking organizations from engaging in proprietary trading and from sponsoring and investing in hedge funds and private equity 
funds, except as permitted under certain limited circumstances. The Dodd-Frank Act empowered the newly established Financial 
Stability Oversight Council to designate certain activities as posing a risk to the U.S. financial system and to recommend new or 
heightened standards and safeguards for financial organizations engaging in such activities.

The Dodd-Frank Act also established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) as an independent agency 
within the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The CFPB has the exclusive authority to administer, enforce, and 
otherwise implement federal consumer financial laws, which includes the power to make rules, issue orders, and issue guidance 
governing the provision of consumer financial products and services.  The CFPB has exclusive federal consumer law supervisory 
authority and primary enforcement authority over insured depository institutions with assets totaling over $10 billion.  Authority 
for institutions with $10 billion or less rests with the prudential regulator, and in the case of the Bank will be enforced by the FDIC. 
Further, the Dodd-Frank Act established the Office of Financial Research, which has the power to require reports from other 
financial services companies.

In October 2015, the CFPB’s final rules on integrated mortgage disclosures under the Truth in Lending Act and the Real 
Estate Settlement Procedures Act became effective.  The new disclosures are intended to improve disclosures to consumers and 
also contain tolerance limitations that may cause lenders to refund fees charged to consumers when certain costs vary between 
the initial and final disclosure.

Holding Company Regulation

We are subject to supervision and examination as a bank holding company by the Federal Reserve under the BHCA. In 
addition, the Federal Reserve has the authority to issue orders to bank holding companies to cease and desist from unsafe or 
unsound banking practices and from violations of conditions imposed by, or violations of agreements with, the Federal Reserve. 
The Federal Reserve is also empowered, among other things, to assess civil money penalties against companies or individuals 
who violate Federal Reserve orders or regulations, to order termination of nonbanking activities of bank holding companies and 
to order termination of ownership and control of a nonbanking subsidiary by a bank holding company. Federal Reserve approval 
is also required in connection with bank holding companies’ acquisitions of more than 5% of the voting shares of any class of a 
depository institution or its holding company and, among other things, in connection with the bank holding company’s engaging 
in new activities.

Under the BHCA, our activities are limited to businesses so closely related to banking, managing or controlling banks 
as to be a proper incident thereto. The BHCA also requires a bank holding company to obtain approval from the Federal Reserve 
before (1) acquiring or holding more than a 5% voting interest in any bank or bank holding company, (2) acquiring all or substantially 
all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company or (3) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.

We have not filed an election with the Federal Reserve to be treated as a “financial holding company,” a type of holding 
company that can engage in certain insurance and securities-related activities that are not permitted for a bank holding company.

Source of Strength. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, we are required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength 
for the Bank in the event of the financial distress of the Bank. This provision codifies the longstanding policy of the Federal 
Reserve. Although the Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal banking agencies to issue regulations to implement the source of 
strength provisions, no regulations have been promulgated at this time. In addition, any capital loans by a bank holding company 
to any of its depository subsidiaries are subordinate to the payment of deposits and to certain other indebtedness. In the event of 
a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to 
maintain the capital of a depository subsidiary will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Regulatory Capital. The Federal Reserve sets risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding 
companies. Under the guidelines and related policies, bank holding companies must maintain capital sufficient to meet both a 
risk-based asset ratio test and a leverage ratio test on a consolidated basis. The guidelines provide a systematic analytical framework 
that makes regulatory capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations, takes off-balance 
sheet exposures expressly into account in evaluating capital adequacy and minimizes disincentives to holding assets considered 
by regulatory agencies to be liquid and low-risk. The risk-based ratio is determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance 
sheet commitments into risk-weighted categories, with higher weighting assigned to categories perceived as representing greater 
risk. The risk-based ratio represents total capital divided by total risk-weighted assets. The leverage ratio is Tier 1 capital divided 
by total average assets adjusted as specified in the guidelines. The Bank, supervised by the FDIC and DFI, is subject to substantially 
similar capital requirements. Our applicable capital ratios as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are summarized in Note 13 to the 
financial statements.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve published final rules (the “Basel III Capital Rules”) establishing a new comprehensive 
capital framework for U.S. bank holding companies.  The FDIC adopted substantially identical standards for institutions, like the 
Bank, subject to its jurisdiction in an interim final rule.  The Basel III Capital Rules implement requirements consistent with 
agreements reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.  These 
rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to depository institutions and their holding companies, 
including the Company and the Bank.  The Basel III Capital Rules were effective for all banks as of the beginning of 2015, subject 
to certain phase-in periods for some requirements.

Among  other  things,  the  Basel  III  Capital  Rules  (i)  introduced  a  new  capital  measure  called  “Common  Equity Tier 
1” (“CET1”), (ii) specified that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified 
requirements, (iii) applied most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures to CET1 and not to the other components 
of capital, thus potentially requiring higher levels of CET1 in order to meet minimum ratios, and (iv) expanded the scope of the 
deductions/adjustments from capital in comparison to current regulations.

Since December 31, 2015, the minimum capital ratios under Basel III Capital Rules have been: 4.5% CET1 to risk-
weighted assets, 6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, 8.0% Total capital (Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) to risk-weighted 
assets and 4.0% leverage ratio.

5

 
 
 
 
In addition, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above each level applicable to the CET1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratios 
will be required for banking institutions like the Company and the Bank to avoid restrictions on their ability to make capital 
distributions, including dividends, and pay certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The following are the Basel 
III regulatory capital levels that the Company and the Bank must satisfy to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including 
dividends, and discretionary bonus payments during the applicable transition period from January 1, 2015, until January 1, 2019:

The Basel III Capital Rules provide for multiple new deductions from and adjustments to CET1.  These include, for 
example,  the  requirement  that  deferred  tax  assets  dependent  upon  future  taxable  income  and  significant  investments  in  non-
consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one category exceeds 10% of total CET1 or all such 
categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1.  Implementation of these adjustments began on January 1, 2015, and will be 
phased in over the following four years.

The Basel III Capital Rules also revise the prompt corrective action framework by (i) introducing a CET1 ratio requirement 
at each capital level, with a required CET1 ratio to remain well-capitalized at 6.5%, (ii) increasing the minimum Tier 1 capital 
ratio requirement for each category, with the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio for well-capitalized status being increased to 8% and 
(iii) transitioning to a leverage ratio of 4% in order to qualify as adequately capitalized and a leverage ratio of 5% to be well-
capitalized.

The Company believes that, as of December 31, 2016, the Company and the Bank would meet all capital adequacy 

requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules on a fully phased-in basis if such requirements were then effective.

Regulation of Banks

Business Activities. The Bank derives its lending and investment powers from the IFIA, the Federal Deposit Insurance 

Act (the “FDIA”) and related regulations.

Loans-to-One  Borrower  Limitations.  Generally,  the  Bank’s  total  loans  or  extensions  of  credit  to  a  single  borrower, 
including the borrower’s related entities, outstanding at one time, and not fully secured, cannot exceed 15% of the Bank’s unimpaired 
capital and surplus. If the loans or extensions of credit are fully secured by readily marketable collateral, the Bank may lend up 
to an additional 10% of its unimpaired capital and surplus.

Community  Reinvestment  Act.  Under  the  Community  Reinvestment  Act  (the  “CRA”),  as  implemented  by  FDIC 
regulations, the Bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with safe and sound banking practices, to help meet 
the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific 
lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an institution’s discretion to develop the types of 
products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the CRA. The CRA requires the 
FDIC,  in  connection with  its  examinations of  the  Bank,  to  assess  the  Bank’s  record  of  meeting the  credit  needs  of  its  entire 
community and to take that record into account in evaluating certain applications for regulatory approvals that we may file with 
the FDIC. 

Due to its Internet-driven model and nationwide consumer banking platform, the Bank has opted to operate under a CRA 
Strategic Plan, which was submitted to and approved by the FDIC and sets forth certain guidelines the Bank must meet. The current 
Strategic Plan expires December 31, 2017. The Bank received a “Satisfactory” CRA rating in its most recent CRA examination. 
Failure of an institution to receive at least a “Satisfactory” rating could inhibit such institution or its holding company from engaging 
in certain activities or pursuing acquisitions of other financial institutions.

6

 
 
 
 
Transactions with Affiliates. The authority of the Bank, like other FDIC-insured banks, to engage in transactions with its 
“affiliates” is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve’s Regulation W. An “affiliate” 
for this purpose is defined generally as any company that owns or controls the Bank or is under common ownership or control 
with the Bank, but excludes a company controlled by a bank. In general, transactions between the Bank and its affiliates must be 
on terms that are consistent with safe and sound banking practices and at least as favorable to the Bank as comparable transactions 
between the Bank and non-affiliates. In addition, covered transactions with affiliates are restricted individually to 10% and in the 
aggregate to 20% of the Bank’s capital. Collateral ranging from 100% to 130% of the loan amount depending on the quality of 
the collateral must be provided for an affiliate to secure a loan or other extension of credit from the Bank. The Company is an 
“affiliate” of the Bank for purposes of Regulation W and Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. We believe the Bank 
is in compliance with these provisions.

Loans to Insiders. The Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and principal shareholders, as 
well as to entities controlled by such persons (“Related Interests”), is governed by Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve 
Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve. Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to insiders: 
(1) be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, 
those  prevailing  for  comparable  transactions  with  unaffiliated  persons  and  that  do  not  involve  more  than  the  normal  risk  of 
repayment or present other unfavorable features; and (2) not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such 
persons,  individually  and  in  the  aggregate,  which  limits  are  based,  in  part,  on  the  amount  of  the  Bank’s  capital.  In  addition, 
extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved in advance by the Bank’s Board of Directors. Further, provisions 
of the Dodd-Frank Act require that any sale or purchase of an asset by the Bank with an insider must be on market terms and if 
the transaction represents more than 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus it must be approved in advance by a majority of 
the disinterested directors of the Bank. We believe the Bank is in compliance with these provisions.

Enforcement. The DFI and the FDIC share primary regulatory enforcement responsibility over the Bank and its institution-
affiliated parties (“IAPs”), including directors, officers and employees. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, 
the ability to appoint a conservator or receiver for the Bank, to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist orders, to 
seek judicial enforcement of administrative orders and to remove directors and officers from office and bar them from further 
participation in banking. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated in response to violations of laws, regulations and 
administrative orders, as well as in response to unsafe or unsound banking practices or conditions.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. Pursuant to the FDIA, the federal banking agencies have adopted a set of guidelines 
prescribing  safety  and  soundness  standards.  These  guidelines  establish  general  standards  relating  to  internal  controls  and 
information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, 
asset quality,  earnings standards, compensation, fees and benefits. In  general, the guidelines require appropriate systems  and 
practices to identify and manage the risks and exposures specified in the guidelines. We believe we are in compliance with the 
safety and soundness guidelines.

Dividends. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is limited by state and federal laws and regulations that require the 
Bank to obtain the prior approval of the DFI before paying a dividend that, together with other dividends it has paid during a 
calendar year, would exceed the sum of its net income for the year to date combined with its retained net income for the previous 
two years. The amount of dividends the Bank may pay may also be limited by the principles of prudent bank management.

Capital Distributions. The FDIC may disapprove of a notice or application to make a capital distribution if:

• 

• 

• 

the Bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution;

the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or

the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement applicable 
to the Bank.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Bank is a member of the DIF, which is administered by the FDIC. All deposit accounts 

at the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor.

7

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The FDIA, as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, requires the FDIC to set 
a ratio of deposit insurance reserves to estimated insured deposit. In March 2016, the FDIC issued a final rule to increase the 
statutory minimum designated reserve ratio (the “DRR”) to 1.35% by September 30, 2020, the deadline imposed by the Dodd-
Frank Act.   The FDIC’s rules reduced assessment rates on all FDIC-insured financial institutions but imposed a surcharge on 
banks with assets of $10 billion or more until the DRR reaches 1.35% and provide assessment credits to banks with assets of less 
than $10 billion for the portion of their assessments that contribute to the increase of the DRR to 1.35%. The rules also changed 
the methodology used to determine risk-based assessment rates for established banks with less than $10 billion in assets to better 
ensure that banks taking on greater risks pay more for deposit insurance than banks that take on less risk.

FDIC insurance expense, including assessments relating to Financing Corporation (FICO) bonds, totaled $1.2 million

for 2016.

Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and 
unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, 
order or condition imposed by the FDIC.

Liquidity. The Bank is required to maintain a sufficient amount of liquid assets to ensure its safe and sound operation. 
To  fund  its  operations,  the  Bank  historically  has  relied  upon  deposits,  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  of  Indianapolis  (“FHLB”) 
borrowings, fed funds lines with correspondent banks and brokered deposits. The Bank believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet 
its funding obligations.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB, which is one of the regional Federal Home Loan 
Banks comprising the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Each Federal Home Loan Bank serves as a central credit facility primarily 
for its member institutions. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB, is required to acquire and hold shares of FHLB capital stock. 
While the required percentage of stock ownership is subject to change by the FHLB, the Bank is in compliance with this requirement 
with an investment in FHLB stock at December 31, 2016 of $8.9 million. Any advances from the FHLB must be secured by 
specified types of collateral, and long term advances may be used for the purpose of providing funds to make residential mortgage 
or commercial loans and to purchase investments. Long term advances may also be used to help alleviate interest rate risk for 
asset and liability management purposes. The Bank receives dividends on its FHLB stock.

Federal Reserve System. Although the Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, it is subject to provisions 
of the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Reserve’s regulations under which depository institutions may be required to maintain 
reserves against their deposit accounts and certain other liabilities. In 2008, the Federal Reserve Banks began paying interest on 
reserve  balances.  Currently,  reserves  must  be  maintained  against  transaction  accounts  (primarily  NOW  and  regular  checking 
accounts). As of December 31, 2016, the Federal Reserve’s regulations required reserves equal to 3% on transaction account 
balances over $15.2 million and up to $110.2 million, plus 10% on the excess over $110.2 million. These requirements are subject 
to adjustment annually by the Federal Reserve. The Bank is in compliance with the foregoing reserve requirements. The balances 
maintained to meet the reserve requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements imposed 
by the FDIC.

Anti-Money Laundering and the Bank Secrecy Act. Under the Bank Secrecy Act (the “BSA”), a financial institution is 
required to have systems in place to detect and report transactions of a certain size and nature. Financial institutions are generally 
required to report to the U.S. Treasury any cash transactions involving more than $10,000. In addition, financial institutions are 
required to file suspicious activity reports for transactions that involve more than $5,000 and which the financial institution knows, 
suspects or has reason to suspect involves illegal funds, is designed to evade the requirements of the BSA or has no lawful purpose. 
The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 
(the “USA PATRIOT Act”), which amended the BSA, is designed to deny terrorists and others the ability to obtain anonymous 
access to the U.S. financial system. The USA PATRIOT Act has significant implications for financial institutions and businesses 
of other types involved in the transfer of money. The USA PATRIOT Act, in conjunction with the implementation of various federal 
regulatory agency regulations, has caused financial institutions, such as the Bank, to adopt and implement additional policies or 
amend existing policies and procedures with respect to, among other things, anti-money laundering compliance, suspicious activity, 
currency transaction reporting, customer identity verification and customer risk analysis.

8

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The United States has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals 
and others. These sanctions, which are administered by the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), take many 
different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (1) restrictions on trade with or investment 
in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and 
prohibitions on “U.S. persons” engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-
related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (2) blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated 
nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including 
property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (for example, property and bank deposits) cannot be paid 
out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC.

Consumer Protection Laws. The Bank is subject to a number of federal and state laws designed to protect consumers and 
prohibit unfair or deceptive business practices. These laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Housing Act, Home 
Ownership Protection Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (the 
“FACT Act”), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLBA”), the Truth in Lending Act, the CRA, the Home Mortgage Disclosure 
Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the National Flood Insurance Act and various state law counterparts. These laws 
and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and regulate the manner in which financial institutions must interact with 
customers  when  taking  deposits,  making  loans,  collecting  loans  and  providing  other  services.  Further,  the  Dodd-Frank Act 
established the CFPB, which has the responsibility for making and amending rules and regulations under the federal consumer 
protection laws relating to financial products and services. The CFPB also has a broad mandate to prohibit unfair or deceptive 
acts and practices and is specifically empowered to require certain disclosures to consumers and draft model disclosure forms. 
Failure to comply with consumer protection laws and regulations can subject financial institutions to enforcement actions, fines 
and other penalties. The FDIC enforces applicable CFPB rules with respect to the Bank.

Mortgage Reform. The Dodd-Frank Act prescribes certain standards that mortgage lenders must consider before making 
a residential mortgage loan, including verifying a borrower’s ability to repay such mortgage loan. The Dodd-Frank Act also allows 
borrowers to assert violations of certain provisions of the Truth-in-Lending Act as a defense to foreclosure proceedings. Under 
the Dodd-Frank Act, prepayment penalties are prohibited for certain mortgage transactions and creditors are prohibited from 
financing insurance policies in connection with a residential mortgage loan or home equity line of credit. The Dodd-Frank Act 
requires mortgage lenders to make additional disclosures prior to the extension of credit, in each billing statement and for negative 
amortization loans and hybrid adjustable rate mortgages. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act prohibits mortgage originators from 
receiving compensation based on the terms of residential mortgage loans and generally limits the ability of a mortgage originator 
to be compensated by others if compensation is received from a consumer.

Customer Information Security. The federal banking agencies have adopted final guidelines for establishing standards 
for  safeguarding  nonpublic  personal  information  about  customers.  These  guidelines  implement  provisions  of  the  GLBA. 
Specifically, the Information Security Guidelines established by the GLBA require each financial institution, under the supervision 
and  ongoing  oversight  of  its  board  of  directors  or  an  appropriate  committee  thereof,  to  develop,  implement  and  maintain  a 
comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information 
(as defined under the GLBA), to protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information and 
to protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any 
customer. The federal banking regulators have issued guidance for banks on response programs for unauthorized access to customer 
information. This guidance, among other things, requires notice to be sent to customers whose “sensitive information” has been 
compromised if unauthorized use of this information is “reasonably possible.”

Identity Theft Red Flags. The federal banking agencies jointly issued final rules and guidelines in 2007 implementing 
Section 114 of the FACT Act and final rules implementing Section 315 of the FACT Act. The rules implementing Section 114 
require each financial institution or creditor to develop and implement a written Identity Theft Prevention Program to detect, 
prevent and mitigate identity theft in connection with the opening of certain accounts or certain existing accounts. In addition, the 
federal banking agencies issued guidelines to assist financial institutions and creditors in the formulation and maintenance of an 
Identity Theft Prevention Program that satisfies the requirements of the rules. The rules implementing Section 114 also require 
credit and debit card issuers to assess the validity of notifications of changes of address under certain circumstances. Additionally, 
the federal banking agencies issued joint rules, that became effective in 2008, under Section 315 that provide guidance regarding 
reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when a consumer reporting agency sends the user 
a notice of address discrepancy.

9

 
 
 
 
 
Privacy. The  GLBA  requires  financial  institutions  to  implement  policies  and  procedures  regarding  the  disclosure  of 
nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. In general, the statute requires financial institutions 
to explain to consumers their policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of such nonpublic personal information and, except 
as otherwise required or permitted by law, financial institutions are prohibited from disclosing such information except as provided 
in their policies and procedures. The Bank is required to provide notice to its customers on an annual basis disclosing its policies 
and procedures on the sharing of nonpublic personal information.

Cybersecurity. In March 2015, federal regulators issued two related statements regarding cybersecurity. One statement 
indicates that financial institutions should design multiple layers of security controls to establish lines of defense and ensure that 
their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials, including security measures 
to reliably authenticate customers accessing internet-based services of the financial institution. The other statement indicates that 
a financial institution’s management is expected to maintain sufficient business continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid 
recovery, resumption, and maintenance of the institution’s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial 
institution  is  also  expected  to  develop  appropriate  processes  to  enable  recovery  of  data  and  business  operations  and  address 
rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-
attack. If we fail to observe the regulatory guidance, we could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial 
penalties.

In support of our Internet banking platform, we rely heavily on electronic communications and information systems to 
conduct our operations and store sensitive data. We employ an in-depth approach that leverages people, processes, and technology 
to manage and maintain cybersecurity controls. In addition, we employ a variety of preventative and detective tools to monitor, 
block,  and  provide  alerts  regarding  suspicious  activity,  as  well  as  to  report  on  any  suspected  advanced  persistent  threats. 
Notwithstanding the strength of our defensive measures, the threat from cyber-attacks is severe, attacks are sophisticated and 
increasing in volume, and attackers respond rapidly to changes in defensive measures. Although to date we have not experienced 
any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, our systems and those of our customers and 
third-party service providers are under constant threat and it is possible that we could experience a significant event in the future. 
Risks and exposures related to cybersecurity attacks are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly 
evolving nature and sophistication of these threats, as well as due to the expanding use of Internet and mobile banking and other 
technology-based products and services, by us and our customers. 

Employees

At December 31, 2016, we had 192 full-time equivalent employees.  None of our employees are currently represented 

by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Management believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.

Item 1A. 

Risk Factors 

Risk factors which could cause actual results to differ from our expectations and which could negatively impact our 
financial condition and results of operations are discussed below and elsewhere in this report. Additional risks and uncertainties 
not presently known to us or that are currently not believed to be significant to our business may also affect our actual results and 
could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the risks or uncertainties described below or any 
additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially 
and adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

A failure of, or interruption in, the communications and information systems on which we rely to conduct our business could 
adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

We rely heavily upon communications and information systems to conduct our business. Although we have built a level 
of redundancy into our information technology infrastructure and update our business continuity plan annually, any failure or 
interruption of our information systems, or the third-party information systems on which we rely, as a result of inadequate or failed 
processes or systems, human errors or external events, could adversely affect our Internet-based operations and slow the processing 
of applications, loan servicing, and deposit-related transactions. In addition, our communication and information systems may 
present security risks and could be susceptible to hacking or other unauthorized access. The occurrence of any of these events 
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our commercial loan portfolio exposes us to higher credit risks than residential real estate and consumer loans, including 
risks relating to the success of the underlying business and conditions in the market or the economy and concentrations in our 
commercial loan portfolio.

We are growing our CRE and C&I loan portfolios. At December 31, 2016, CRE loans amounted to $730.7 million, or 
58.4% of total loans, and C&I loans amounted to $102.4 million, or 8.2% of total loans.  These loans generally involve higher 
credit risks than residential real estate and consumer loans and are dependent upon our lenders maintaining close relationships 
with the borrowers. Payments on these loans are often dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying 
business or assets, and repayment of such loans may be influenced to a great extent by conditions in the market or the economy. 
Commercial  loans  typically  involve  larger  loan  balances  than  residential  real  estate  or  consumer  loans  and  could  lead  to 
concentration risks within our commercial loan portfolio. In addition, our C&I loans have primarily been extended to small to 
medium sized businesses that generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities.
Our failure to manage this commercial loan growth and the related risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, with respect to commercial real estate loans, federal and state banking regulators are examining commercial 
real estate lending activity with heightened scrutiny and may require banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans to 
implement more stringent underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly 
higher levels of allowances for losses and capital levels as a result of commercial real estate lending growth and exposures. Because 
a significant portion of our loan portfolio is comprised of commercial real estate loans, the banking regulators may require us to 
maintain higher levels of capital than we would otherwise be expected to maintain, which could limit our ability to leverage our 
capital and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

11

 
Weakness in the economy may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the economy.  Dramatic declines in the housing market 
following the 2008 financial crisis, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, resulted in significant 
write-downs of asset values by financial institutions. While conditions have improved, a return to a recessionary economy could 
result in financial stress on our borrowers that would adversely affect consumer confidence, a reduction in general business activity 
and increased market volatility. The resulting economic pressure on consumers and businesses and the lack of confidence in the 
financial markets could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price. Our ability to 
properly assess the creditworthiness of our customers and to estimate the losses inherent in our credit exposure would be made 
more complex by these difficult market and economic conditions. Accordingly, if market conditions worsen, we may experience 
increases in foreclosures, delinquencies, write-offs and customer bankruptcies, as well as more restricted access to funds.

A decrease in the corporate federal income tax rate may impair our deferred tax assets (“DTAs”).

At December 31, 2016, our DTAs were approximately $3.3 million. While a decline in the corporate tax rate may lower 
our tax provision expense, it may also significantly impair the value of our DTAs in the year the rate decrease is enacted.  Such 
impairment could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The market value of some of our investments could decline and adversely affect our financial position.

As of December 31, 2016, we had a net unrealized pre-tax holding loss of approximately $14.4 million on the available-
for-sale portion of our $456.7 million investment securities portfolio.  In assessing the impairment of investment securities, we 
consider the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects 
of the issuers, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and whether we have the intent to sell the 
security or will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. We also use economic models to assist in the valuation 
of some of our investment securities. If our investment securities experience a decline in value, we would need to determine 
whether the decline represented an other-than-temporary impairment, in which case we would be required to record a write-down 
of the investment and a corresponding charge to our earnings.

Because our business is highly dependent on technology that is subject to rapid change and transformation, we are subject to 
risks of obsolescence.

The Bank conducts its deposit gathering activities and a significant portion of its residential mortgage lending activities 
through the Internet.  The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological change, and we face constant evolution of 
customer demand for technology-driven financial and banking products and services.  Many of our competitors have substantially 
greater resources to invest in technological improvement and product development, marketing and implementation.  Any failure 
to successfully keep pace with and fund technological innovation in the markets in which we compete could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may need additional capital resources in the future and these capital resources may not be available when needed or at all, 
without which our financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially impaired.

If we continue to experience significant growth, we may need to raise additional capital. Our ability to raise capital, if 
needed, will depend upon our financial performance and on conditions in the capital markets, as well as economic conditions 
generally. Accordingly, such financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. If we cannot raise additional capital 
when needed, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The competitive nature of the banking and financial services industry could negatively affect our ability to increase our market 
share and retain long term profitability.

Competition  in  the  banking  and  financial  services  industry  is  strong.  We  compete  with  commercial  banks,  savings 
institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, financial technology companies, mutual funds, insurance 
companies and securities brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and nationwide. Some of our competitors 
have greater name recognition and market presence than we do and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. In 
addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do, which could affect our ability 
to increase our market share and remain profitable on a long term basis. Our success will depend on the ability of the Bank to 
compete successfully on a long term basis within the financial services industry.

12

We rely on our management team and could be adversely affected by the unexpected loss of key officers.

Our  future  success  and  profitability  is  substantially  dependent  upon  our  management  and  the  abilities  of  our  senior 
executives. We believe that our future results will also depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and 
qualified management. Competition for senior personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such 
personnel. Changes in key personnel and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our business and could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the loss of our chief executive officer could have 
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability and affect the value of our assets.

Like other financial institutions, we are subject to interest rate risk. Our primary source of income is net interest income, 
which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. We expect 
that we will periodically experience imbalances in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities and the relationships 
of various interest rates to each other. Over any defined period of time, our interest-earning assets may be more sensitive to changes 
in market interest rates than our interest-bearing liabilities, or vice-versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying 
our loan and deposit products may not change to the same degree over a given time period. In any event, if market interest rates 
should move contrary to our position, earnings may be negatively affected. In addition, loan volume and quality and deposit volume 
and mix can be affected by market interest rates as can the businesses of our clients. Changes in levels of market interest rates 
could have a material adverse effect on our net interest spread, asset quality, loan origination volume, deposit gathering efforts 
and overall profitability.

Market interest rates are beyond our control, and they fluctuate in response to economic conditions and the policies of 
various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes 
in interest rates, may negatively affect our ability to originate loans and leases, the value of our assets and our ability to realize 
gains from the sale of our assets, all of which ultimately could affect our earnings.

An inadequate allowance for loan losses would reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition and results 
of operations.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the quality of our assets, particularly the credit quality of our loans. In 
originating loans, there is a substantial likelihood that credit losses will be experienced.  We maintain 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 inherent in our loan portfolio. 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 judgment and requires us to make significant estimates of 
current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in such estimates may have a significant 
impact on our financial statements. The allowance our management has established for loan losses may not be adequate to absorb 
losses in our loan portfolio. Continuing deterioration of economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding 
existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside our control, may require an 
increase in the allowance for loan losses.

Bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision 
for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. To the extent 
required charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, we may need additional provisions to increase the 
allowance. Any increases in the allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income, which would negatively impact 
capital, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

13

Consumer loans in our portfolio generally have greater risk of loss or default than residential real estate loans and may make 
it necessary to increase our provision for loan losses.

At December 31, 2016, our consumer loans, excluding residential mortgage loans and home equity loans, totaled $173.4 
million, representing approximately 13.9% of our total loan portfolio at such date.  A substantial portion of our consumer loans 
are horse trailer and recreational vehicle loans acquired through our indirect dealer network. Consumer loans generally have a 
greater risk of loss or default than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of loans that are secured by rapidly 
depreciating assets such as horse trailer and recreational vehicles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer 
loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of 
damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, 
and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application 
of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be 
recovered on such loans. It may become necessary to increase our provision for loan losses in the event that our losses on these 
loans increase, which would reduce our earnings and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and 
results of operations.

Portions of our commercial lending activities are geographically concentrated in Central Indiana and adjacent markets, and 
changes in local economic conditions may impact their performance. 

We offer our residential mortgage and consumer lending as well as single tenant financing products and services throughout 
the United States. However, we serve CRE and C&I borrowers primarily in Central Indiana and adjacent markets. Accordingly, 
the  performance  of  our  CRE  and  C&I  lending  depends  upon  demographic  and  economic  conditions  in  those  regions.  The 
profitability of our CRE and C&I loan portfolio may be impacted by changes in those conditions. Additionally, unfavorable local 
economic conditions could reduce or limit the growth rate of our CRE and C&I loan portfolios for a significant period of time, or 
otherwise decrease the ability of those borrowers to repay their loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

Because of our holding company structure, we depend on capital distributions from the Bank to fund our operations.

We are a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank and have no business activities other than our ownership of the 
Bank. As a result, we primarily depend on dividends, distributions and other payments from the Bank to fund our obligations. The 
ability of the Bank to pay dividends to us is limited by state and federal law and depends generally on the Bank’s ability to generate 
net income. If we are unable to comply with applicable provisions of these statutes and regulations, the Bank may not be able to 
pay dividends to us, and we would not be able to pay dividends on our outstanding common stock and our ability to service our 
debt would be materially impaired.

Lack of seasoning of our commercial loan portfolios may increase the risk of credit defaults in the future.

Due to our increasing emphasis on CRE and C&I lending, a substantial amount of the loans in our commercial loan 
portfolios and our lending relationships are of relatively recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit 
deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for some period of time, a process referred to as “seasoning.” A portfolio 
of older loans will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio. As a result, because a large portion of our commercial 
loan portfolio is relatively new, the current level of delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that will 
prevail when the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If delinquencies and defaults increase, 
we may be required to increase our provision for loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition and results of operations.

A sustained decline in the residential mortgage loan market could reduce loan origination activity or increase delinquencies, 
defaults and foreclosures, which could adversely affect our financial results.

Historically, our mortgage loan business has provided a significant portion of our revenue and our ability to maintain or 
grow that revenue is dependent upon our ability to originate loans and sell them in the secondary market.  Revenue from mortgage 
banking activities was $12.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and $9.0 million for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2015.  Mortgage loan originations are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including decreased 
economic activity, a slowdown in the housing market, and higher market interest rates, and has historically been cyclical, enjoying 
periods of strong growth and profitability followed by periods of lower volumes and market-wide losses. During periods of rising 
interest rates, refinancing originations for many mortgage products tend to decrease as the economic incentives for borrowers to 
refinance their existing mortgage loans are reduced. In addition, the mortgage loan origination business is affected by changes in 
real property values. A reduction in real property values could also negatively affect our ability to originate mortgage loans because 
the value of the real properties underlying the loans is a primary source of repayment in the event of foreclosure. The national 
market for residential mortgage loan refinancing has declined in recent years and future declines could adversely impact our 
business. Any sustained period of increased delinquencies, foreclosures or losses could harm our ability to originate and sell 
mortgage loans, and the price received on the sale of such loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

Reputational risk and social factors may negatively affect us.

 Our ability to attract and retain customers is highly dependent upon other external perceptions of our business practices 
and financial condition. Adverse perceptions could damage our reputation to a level that could lead to difficulties in generating 
and maintaining lending and deposit relationships and accessing equity or credit markets as well as increased regulatory scrutiny 
of our business.  Adverse developments or perceptions regarding the business practices or financial condition of our competitors, 
or our industry as a whole, may also indirectly adversely affect our reputation.

 In addition, adverse reputational developments with respect to third parties with whom we have important relationships 
may negatively affect our reputation. All of the above factors may result in greater regulatory and/or legislative scrutiny, which 
may lead to laws or regulations that may change or constrain the manner in which we engage with our customers and the products 
we offer and may also increase our litigation risk. If these risks were to materialize, they could negatively affect our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

A failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third party vendors and other 
service  providers,  including  as  a  result  of  cyber-attacks,  could  disrupt  our  business,  result  in  the  disclosure  or  misuse  of 
confidential or proprietary information, damage our reputation, increase our costs and cause losses.

We depend upon our ability to process, record and monitor our client transactions on a continuous basis. As customer, 
public and regulatory expectations regarding operational and information security have increased, our operational systems and 
infrastructure must continue to be safeguarded and monitored for potential failures, disruptions and breakdowns. Our business, 
financial, accounting and data processing systems, or other operating systems and facilities, may stop operating properly or become 
disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors, including events that are wholly or partially beyond our control. For 
example, there could be electrical or telecommunications outages; natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes; 
disease pandemics; events arising from local or larger scale political or social matters, including terrorist acts; and, as described 
below, cyber-attacks. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, our business operations may be 
adversely affected by significant and widespread disruption to our physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our 
business. 

Information security risks for financial institutions such as ours have generally increased in recent years in part because 
of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the Internet and digital technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the 
increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists and other external parties. As noted above, 
our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential information in our computer systems and 
networks. Our business relies on our digital technologies, computer and email systems, software and networks to conduct its 
operations.  In  addition,  to  access  our  products  and  services,  our  customers  may  use  personal  smartphones,  tablets,  personal 
computers and other mobile devices that are beyond our control systems. Although we have information security procedures and 
controls in place, our technologies, systems, networks and our customers’ devices may become the target of cyber-attacks or 
information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of 
our or our customers’ confidential, proprietary and other information, or otherwise disrupt our or our customers’ or other third 
parties’ business operations. 

15

Third parties with whom we do business or that facilitate our business activities, including financial intermediaries or 
vendors that provide services or security solutions for our operations, could also be sources of operational and information security 
risk to us, including from breakdowns or failures of their own systems or capacity constraints. Although to date we have not 
experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that 
we will not suffer such losses in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters remains heightened because of the evolving 
nature of these threats. As a result, cybersecurity and the continued development and enhancement of our controls, processes and 
practices designed to protect our systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access 
remain a focus for us. As threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or 
enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate information security vulnerabilities. 

Disruptions or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our business and clients, or cyber-
attacks or security breaches of the networks, systems or devices that our clients use to access our products and services could 
result in client attrition, regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, claims or litigation, reimbursement or 
other compensation costs and/or additional compliance costs, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF OUR INDUSTRY

We operate in a highly regulated environment, which could restrain our growth and profitability.

We  are  subject  to  extensive  laws  and  regulations  that  govern  almost  all  aspects  of  our  operations.  These  laws  and 
regulations, and the supervisory framework that oversees the administration of these laws and regulations, are primarily intended 
to protect depositors, the DIF and the banking system as a whole, and not shareholders. These laws and regulations, among other 
matters, affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, operations and growth. Compliance 
with the myriad laws and regulations applicable to our organization can be difficult and costly. In addition, these laws, regulations 
and policies are subject to continual review by governmental authorities, and changes to these laws, regulations and policies, 
including changes in interpretation or implementation of these laws, regulations and policies, could affect us in substantial and 
unpredictable  ways  and  often  impose  additional  compliance  costs.  Further,  any  new  laws,  rules  and  regulations  could  make 
compliance more difficult or expensive. All of these laws and regulations, and the supervisory framework applicable to our industry, 
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Federal and state regulators periodically examine our business and we may be required to remediate adverse examination 
findings.

The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the DFI periodically examine our business, including our compliance with laws and 
regulations. If, as a result of an examination, a federal or state banking agency were to determine that our financial condition, 
capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of any of our operations had become 
unsatisfactory, or that we were in violation of any law or regulation, it may take a number of different remedial actions as it deems 
appropriate. These actions include the power to enjoin “unsafe or unsound” practices, to require affirmative action to correct any 
conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an 
increase in our capital, to restrict our growth, to assess civil monetary penalties against our officers or directors, to remove officers 
and directors and, if it is concluded that such conditions cannot be corrected or there is an imminent risk of loss to depositors, to 
terminate our deposit insurance and place us into receivership or conservatorship. Any regulatory action against us could have a 
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments may increase which would reduce our profitability.

The deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC up to legal limits and, accordingly, subject to the payment of FDIC 
deposit insurance assessments. The Bank’s regular assessments are determined by its risk classification, which is based on a number 
of factors, including regulatory capital levels, asset growth and asset quality. High levels of bank failures during and following 
the financial crisis and increases in the statutory deposit insurance limits have increased resolution costs to the FDIC and put 
significant pressure on the DIF. In order to maintain a strong funding position and restore the reserve ratios of the DIF, the FDIC 
may increase deposit insurance assessment rates and may charge a special assessment to all FDIC-insured financial institutions. 
Further increases in assessment rates or special assessments may occur in the future, especially if there are significant additional 
financial  institution  failures. Any  future  special  assessments,  increases  in  assessment  rates  or  required  prepayments  in  FDIC 
insurance premiums could reduce our profitability or limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities, which could have 
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

16

The long-term impact of regulatory capital rules is uncertain and a significant increase in our capital requirements could have 
an adverse effect on our business and profitability.

In July 2013, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve approved a new rule that substantially amends the regulatory risk-based 
capital rules applicable to the Company and the Bank. The final rule implements the “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and 
changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.  The final rule includes new minimum 
risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, and refines the 
definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating these ratios. The new minimum capital requirements are: (i) a 
new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 6% (increased from 4%); (iii) a 
total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The final rule also establishes a 
“capital conservation buffer” of 2.5%, and will result in the following minimum ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio 
of 7.0%; (ii) a Tier 1 to risk-based assets capital ratio of 8.5%; and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation 
buffer  requirement  was  phased-in  in  January 2016  at  0.625%  of  risk-weighted  assets  and  will  increase  each  year  until  fully 
implemented in January 2019. An institution will be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, 
and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations will establish a maximum 
percentage of eligible retained income that can be used for such actions. 

The application of more stringent capital requirements for both the Company and the Bank could, among other things, 
result in lower returns on equity, require the raising of additional capital, and result in regulatory actions constraining us from 
paying dividends or repurchasing shares if we were to be unable to comply with such requirements, any of which could have a 
material adverse effect on our business and profitability. 

We are subject to numerous laws designed to protect consumers, including the Community Reinvestment Act and fair lending 
laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to a wide variety of sanctions.

The Community Reinvestment Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act and other fair lending laws 
and regulations impose nondiscriminatory lending requirements on financial institutions. The Department of Justice and other 
federal agencies are responsible for enforcing these laws and regulations. A successful regulatory challenge to an institution’s 
performance under the Community Reinvestment Act or fair lending laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of sanctions, 
including damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief, restrictions on mergers and acquisitions activity, restrictions on 
expansion and restrictions on entering new business lines. Private parties may also have the ability to challenge an institution’s 
performance under fair lending laws in private class action litigation. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to evolving and expensive regulations and requirements. Our failure to adhere to these requirements or the 
failure or circumvention of our controls and procedures could seriously harm our business. 

We are subject to extensive regulation as a financial institution and are also required to follow the corporate governance 
and financial reporting practices and policies required of a company whose stock is registered under the Exchange Act and listed 
on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Compliance with these requirements means we incur significant legal, accounting and 
other expenses that we did not incur before 2013 and are not reflected in our historical financial statements prior to that time. 
Compliance also requires a significant diversion of management time and attention, particularly with regard to disclosure controls 
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Although we have reviewed, and will continue to review, our disclosure 
controls and procedures in order to determine whether they are effective, our controls and procedures may not be able to prevent 
errors or frauds in the future. Faulty judgments, simple errors or mistakes, or the failure of our personnel to adhere to established 
controls and procedures may make it difficult for us to ensure that the objectives of the control system will be met. A failure of 
our controls and procedures to detect other than inconsequential errors or fraud could seriously harm our business and results of 
operations.

17

We face a risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the BSA and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.

The BSA, the USA PATRIOT Act and other laws and regulations require financial institutions, among other duties, to 
institute and maintain an effective anti-money laundering program and file suspicious activity and currency transaction reports as 
appropriate. The federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is authorized to impose significant civil money penalties for 
violations of those requirements and has recently engaged in coordinated enforcement efforts with the individual federal banking 
regulators, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service. We are 
also subject to increased scrutiny of compliance with the rules enforced by the OFAC.  If our policies, procedures and systems 
are deemed deficient, we would be subject to liability, including fines and regulatory actions, which may include restrictions on 
our ability to pay dividends and the necessity to obtain regulatory approvals to proceed with certain aspects of our business plan, 
including our acquisition plans. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist 
financing could also have serious reputational consequences for us. Any of these results could have a material adverse effect on 
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES 

There is a limited trading market for our common stock and you may not be able to resell your shares.

Our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 22, 2013.  We have since completed 
several offerings of our common stock and our securities have been listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market since September 
30, 2016.  However, trading remains relatively limited. Although we expect that a more liquid market for our common stock will 
develop, we cannot guarantee that you would be able to resell shares of our common stock at an attractive price or at all.

The market price of our common stock can be volatile and may decline. 

Securities that are not heavily traded can be more volatile than stock trading in an active market. Stock price volatility 
may make it more difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price 
can fluctuate significantly and may decline in response to a variety of factors including: 

•  Actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations;
•  Developments in our business or the financial sector generally;
•  Recommendations by securities analysts;
•  Operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;
•  News reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the financial services industry;
• 
•  New technology used or services offered by competitors;
• 

Perceptions in the marketplace regarding us or our competitors;

Significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint venture or capital commitments by 
or involving us or our competitors;
• 
Failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;
•  Regulatory changes affecting our industry generally or our business or operations; or
•  Geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic 
slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of 
operating results.

Federal banking laws limit the acquisition and ownership of our common stock.

Because we are a bank holding company, any purchaser of certain specified amounts of our common stock may be required 
to file a notice with or obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve under the BHCA, as amended, and the Change in Bank Control 
Act of 1978, as amended. Specifically, under regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve, (1) any other bank holding company 
may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring 5% or more of our common stock and (2) any 
person may be required to file a notice with and not be disapproved by the Federal Reserve to acquire 10% or more of our common 
stock and will be required to file a notice with and not be disapproved by the Federal Reserve to acquire 25% or more of our 
common stock. 

18

Anti-takeover provisions could negatively impact our shareholders.

Provisions of Indiana law and provisions of our articles of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to 
acquire control of us or have the effect of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire control of us. We are subject to 
certain anti-takeover provisions under the Indiana Business Corporation Law. Additionally, our articles of incorporation authorize 
our Board of Directors to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock without shareholder approval and such preferred 
stock could be issued as a defensive measure in response to a takeover proposal. 

Although these provisions do not preclude a takeover, they may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or deferring a 
tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider in his or her best interest, including those attempts that might 
result in a premium over the market price of our common stock. Such provisions will also render the removal of the Board of 
Directors and of management more difficult and, therefore, may serve to perpetuate current management. These provisions could 
potentially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our shares of common stock are not an insured deposit and as such are subject to loss of entire investment.

The shares of our common stock are not a bank deposit and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other 
government agency. An investment in our common stock is subject to investment risk and an investor must be capable of affording 
the loss of the entire investment.

If we were to issue preferred stock, the rights of holders of our common stock and the value of such common stock could be 
adversely affected.

Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue classes or series of preferred stock, without any action on the part of our 
shareholders. The Board of Directors also has the power, without shareholder approval, to set the terms of any such classes or 
series of preferred stock, including voting rights, dividend rights and preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends 
or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our business and other terms. If we issue preferred stock in the future that 
has a preference over our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, 
or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common stock, the rights of holders of our 
common stock or the value of our common stock would be adversely affected.

We may issue additional shares of common or preferred stock in the future, which could dilute existing shareholders. 

Our articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors, generally without shareholder approval, to, among other 
things, issue additional shares of common stock up to a total of forty-five million shares or up to five million shares of preferred 
stock. The issuance of any additional shares of common or preferred stock could be dilutive to a shareholder’s ownership of our 
common stock. To the extent that currently outstanding options or warrants to purchase our common stock are exercised, or to the 
extent that we issue additional options or warrants to purchase our common stock in the future and the options or warrants are 
exercised, our shareholders may experience further dilution. In addition, we may issue preferred stock that is convertible into 
shares of our common stock, and upon conversion would result in our common shareholders’ ownership interest being diluted. 
Holders of shares of our common stock have no preemptive rights that entitle holders to purchase their pro rata share of any offering 
of shares of any class or series and, therefore, shareholders may not be permitted to invest in future issuances of common or 
preferred stock. We and the Bank are required by federal and state regulatory authorities, as applicable, to maintain adequate levels 
of capital to support our operations. Accordingly, regulatory requirements and/or deterioration in our asset quality may require us 
to sell common stock to raise capital under circumstances and at prices which result in substantial dilution. 

If we default on our subordinated debt, we will be prohibited from paying dividends or distributions on our common stock.

As of December 31, 2016, we had $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding, consisting of 
a subordinated debenture in the principal amount of $3.0 million scheduled to mature in 2021 (the “2021 Debenture”), a term loan 
in the principal amount of $10.0 million scheduled to mature in 2025 (the “2025 Note”) and $25.0 million aggregate principal 
amount  of  6.0%  Fixed-to-Floating  Rate  Subordinate  Notes  due  2026  (the  “2026  Notes”).   The  agreements  under  which  our 
indebtedness is issued prohibit us from paying any dividends on our common stock or making any other distributions to our 
shareholders at any time when there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the applicable agreement.

Events of default generally consist of, among other things, our failure to pay any principal or interest on the subordinated 
debenture or subordinated notes, as applicable, when due, our failure to comply with certain agreements, terms and covenants 
under the agreement (without curing such default following notice), and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation 
relating to us.

19

If an event of default were to occur and we did not cure it, we would be prohibited from paying any dividends or making 
any other distributions to our shareholders or from redeeming or repurchasing any of our common stock, which would likely have 
a material adverse effect on the market value of our common stock. Moreover, without notice to or consent from the holders of 
our common stock, we may enter into additional financing arrangements that may limit our ability to purchase or to pay dividends 
or distributions on our common stock.

 We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt.        

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest, or to satisfy our obligations in respect of our debt or 
to  refinance  our  debt,  will  depend  on  our  future  performance  of  our  operating  subsidiaries.  Prevailing  economic  conditions 
(including interest rates), regulatory constraints, including, among other things, limiting distributions to us from the Bank and 
required capital levels with respect to the Bank and certain of our nonbank subsidiaries, and financial, business and other factors, 
many of which are beyond our control, will also affect our ability to meet these needs. Our subsidiaries may not be able to generate 
sufficient cash flows from operations, or we may be unable to obtain future borrowings in an amount sufficient to enable us to 
pay our debt, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity. We 
may not be able to refinance any of our debt when needed on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Properties

The Company owns an office building at 11201 USA Parkway, Fishers, Indiana 46037 with approximately 52,000 square 
feet of office space and related real estate located in Fishers, Indiana.  This building houses our principal executive offices and 
we intend to use the property for the current and future operations of the Company and the Bank.  

The Bank is currently leasing all of the office space at the Fishers property. The lease has an initial term of five years and 

provides for monthly rent in the amount of $18.50 per square foot. 

In March 2013, the Company borrowed $4.0 million from the Bank for the purchase of the Company’s principal executive 
offices. The loan was originally scheduled to mature in March 2014 and had been extended annually in 2014, 2015 and 2016, 
resulting  in  a  scheduled  maturity  of  March  6,  2017.    Effective  February  21,  2017,  the  Company  entered  into  a  Fourth 
Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that, among other things, reduced the principal amount of the loan to $3.6 million 
and extended its maturity to March 6, 2020.  Amounts borrowed under the loan bear interest at a variable rate equal to the then 
applicable prime rate (as determined by the Bank with reference to the “Prime Rate” published in The Wall Street Journal) plus 
1.00% per annum. The loan agreement contains customary warranties and representations, affirmative covenants and events of 
default. The loan is secured by a first priority mortgage and lien on the property and requires that the Company, at all times, 
maintain collateral securing the loan with an “as is” market value of not less than 1.3 times the principal balance of the loan.

holders of record of common stock.

Dividends

The Company began paying regular quarterly cash dividends in 2013.  Total dividends declared in 2016 were $0.24 per 
share.  The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis; however, the declaration and amount of any 
future cash dividends will be subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including 
its results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, regulatory and contractual restrictions (including with respect 
to the Company’s outstanding subordinated debt), business strategy and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $38.0 million principal amount of subordinated debt.  The agreements under 
which the subordinated debt was issued prohibit the Company from paying any dividends on its common stock or making any 
other distributions to shareholders at any time when there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the 
applicable agreement.  If an event of default were to occur and the Company did not cure it, the Company would be prohibited 
from paying any dividends or making any other distributions to shareholders or from redeeming or repurchasing any common 
stock.

with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis 
includes  certain  forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks,  uncertainties  and  assumptions.  You  should  review  the  “Risk

Overview

First Internet Bancorp is a bank holding company that conducts its primary business activities through its wholly-owned 
subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana, an Indiana chartered bank. First Internet Bank of Indiana was the first state-chartered, 
FDIC insured Internet bank and commenced banking operations in 1999. First Internet Bancorp was incorporated under the laws 
of the State of Indiana on September 15, 2005. On March 21, 2006, we consummated a plan of exchange by which we acquired 
all of the outstanding shares of the Bank. 

We offer a wide range of commercial, small business, consumer and municipal banking products and services.  We conduct 
our consumer and small business deposit operations primarily through online channels on a nationwide basis and have no traditional 
branch offices.  Our residential mortgage products are offered nationwide primarily through an online direct-to-consumer platform 
and are supplemented with Central Indiana-based mortgage and construction lending.  Our consumer lending products are primarily 
originated on a nationwide basis over the Internet as well as through relationships with dealerships and financing partners. 

Our commercial banking products and services are delivered through a relationship banking model and include commercial 
real estate (“CRE”) banking, commercial and industrial (“C&I”) banking and public finance.  Through our CRE team, we offer 
single tenant lease financing on a nationwide basis in addition to traditional investor commercial real estate and construction loans 
primarily within Central Indiana and adjacent markets.  To meet the needs of commercial borrowers and depositors located primarily 
in Central Indiana, Phoenix, Arizona and adjacent markets, our C&I banking team provides credit solutions such as lines of credit, 
term loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and corporate credit cards as well as treasury management services.  Our 
public finance team, established in early 2017, provides a range of public and municipal lending and leasing products to government 
entities on a nationwide basis.

Results of Operations

Refer to Item 6 of this report for a summary of the Company's financial performance for the five most recent years.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, net income was $12.1 million, or $2.30 per diluted share, compared 
to net income of $8.9 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and net income of $4.3 
million, or $0.96 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

The increase in net income of $3.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to the twelve 
months ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to an $8.9 million increase in net interest income and a $3.9 million increase 
in  noninterest  income. This  was  partially  offset  by  a  $6.2  million  increase  in  noninterest  expense,  a  $2.4  million  increase  in 
provision for loan losses and a $1.2 million increase in income tax expense. 

The increase in net income of $4.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the twelve 
months ended December 31, 2014 was primarily due to an $8.5 million increase in net interest income and a $3.0 million increase 
in noninterest income.  This was partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in income tax expense, a $2.6 million increase in 
noninterest expense and a $1.6 million increase in provision for loan losses. 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, return on average assets was 0.74%, compared to 0.81% for the 
twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and 0.50% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.  During the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2016, return on average shareholders’ equity was 9.74%, compared to 8.89% for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2015 and 4.61% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

2016 v. 2015 

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 was $39.7 million, an increase of $8.9 million, or 
29.1%, compared to $30.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.  The increase in net interest income was the 
result of a $17.5 million, or 42.1%, increase in total interest income to $58.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 
2016 compared to $41.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.  The increase in total interest income was 
partially offset by an $8.5 million, or 79.6%, increase in total interest expense to $19.2 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2016 compared to $10.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

The increase in total interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on loans resulting from an increase
of $290.7 million, or 34.0%, in the average balance of loans, including loans held-for-sale, as well as an increase in interest earned 
on securities resulting from an increase of $198.7 million, or 109.3%, in the average balance of securities for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2016 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in total interest income was 
also due to a 19 basis point (“bp”) increase in the yield earned on the securities portfolio, partially offset by a decline in the yield 
earned on loans, including loans held-for-sale, of 5 bps.

The increase in total interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing 
deposits as a result of a $448.7 million, or 53.5%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2016 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, and an increase of 19 bps in the cost of 
funds related to these deposits.  Interest expense related to other borrowed funds also contributed to the increase in total interest 
expense, due to a $43.7 million, or 31.3%, increase in the average balance of other borrowed funds for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2016 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, and an increase of 44 bps in the cost of other 
borrowed funds.

Net interest margin was 2.49% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 compared to 2.85% for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2015.  The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to a 22 bp increase in the cost of interest-bearing 
liabilities and a 15 bp decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets.  The increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 
primarily due to an increase in average certificates of deposits balances and an increase in the related cost of those deposits.  
Further, the Company issued additional subordinated debt during 2016 which increased the cost of other borrowed funds.  The 
decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to a decrease in the yield earned on loans and an increase in 
average cash balances compared to the prior year.

2015 v. 2014 

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $30.8 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 
38.0%, compared to $22.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.  The increase in net interest income was the 
result of a $10.2 million, or 32.8%, increase in total interest income to $41.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 
2015 compared to $31.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.  The increase in total interest income was 
partially  offset  by  a  $1.8  million,  or  19.8%,  increase  in  total  interest  expense  to  $10.7  million  for  the  twelve  months  ended
December 31, 2015 compared to $8.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

The increase in total interest income was due primarily to an increase in interest earned on loans resulting from an increase
of $222.3 million, or 35.2%, in the average balance of loans, including loans held-for-sale, as well as an increase in interest earned 
on securities resulting from an increase of $28.1 million, or 18.3%, in the average balance of securities for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in total interest income was 
also due to a 21 bp increase in the yield earned on the securities portfolio, partially offset by a decline in the yield earned on loans, 
including loans held-for-sale, of 7 bps.

The increase in total interest expense was driven primarily by an increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing 
deposits as a result of a $131.1 million, or 18.5%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, partially offset by a decline of 4 bps in the 
cost of funds related to these deposits.  Interest expense related to other borrowed funds also contributed to the increase in total 
interest expense, due to a $94.3 million, or 207.5%, increase in the average balance of other borrowed funds for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, partially offset by a decline of 142 bps in 
the cost of other borrowed funds.

Net interest margin was 2.85% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2.65% for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2014. The increases in net interest income and net interest margin were primarily driven by an increase in 
average interest-earning assets of $236.6 million, or 28.1%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the 
twelve months ended December 31, 2014, as well as changes in the composition of the Company’s balance sheet, which resulted 
in an increase in the yield earned on interest-earning assets and a decrease in the cost of funds related to interest-bearing liabilities.

2016 v. 2015 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, noninterest income totaled $14.1 million, representing an increase
of $3.9 million, or 38.8% compared to $10.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in noninterest 
income was primarily driven by an increase of $3.4 million, or 37.8%, in mortgage banking activities, resulting from increases in 
mortgage originations and sales as well as higher gain on sale margins.

2015 v. 2014 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, noninterest income totaled $10.1 million, representing an increase
of $3.0 million, or 41.4%, compared to $7.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The increase in noninterest 
income was primarily driven by an increase of $3.4 million, or 60.5%, in mortgage banking activities, resulting primarily from 
higher originations volumes. The increase in mortgage banking activities was partially offset by $0.5 million decline in gains 
related to sales of securities as no securities were sold during 2015.

2016 v. 2015 

Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 was $31.5 million, compared to $25.3 million for 
the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.  The increase of $6.2 million, or 24.4%, compared to the twelve months ended
December 31, 2015 was primarily due to increases of $3.1 million in salaries and employee benefits, $0.9 million in premises and 
equipment expenses, $0.8 million in consulting and professional services and $0.5 million in deposit insurance premium expenses.  
The increase in salaries and employee benefits resulted from personnel growth and higher incentive compensation related to 
increased  mortgage  production.   The  increase  in  premises  and  equipment  was  primarily  due  to  expenses  associated  with  the 
Company’s new headquarters location.  The increase in consulting and professional fees was due to higher legal fees incurred in 
the normal course of business commensurate with the Company’s growth and certain consulting projects that occurred during 
2016.  The increase in deposit insurance premium was due to the new methodology implemented by the FDIC as of July 1, 2016, 
which places a heavier weighting on year-over-year asset growth used to determine the cost of FDIC deposit insurance.

2015 v. 2014 

Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $25.3 million, compared to $22.7 million for 
the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.  The increase of $2.6 million, or 11.6%, compared to the twelve months ended
December 31, 2014 was primarily due to increases of $1.9 million in salaries and employee benefits, $0.5 million in consulting 
and professional services and $0.3 million in marketing, advertising and promotion.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits 
was attributable to increased headcount driven by the Company's continued growth, higher equity compensation expense, and 
increased short term incentive compensation.  The increase in consulting and professional services was due primarily to higher 
legal fees incurred in the normal course of business commensurate with  the Company’s growth.  The increase in marketing, 
advertising and promotion was due to higher sponsorships and online channel origination costs related to the increase in mortgage 
origination activity.

of December 31, 2015.  Balance sheet expansion during 2016 was funded by strong deposit growth of $506.8 million, or 53.0%, 
and supplemented by increases in shareholders’ equity and subordinated debt resulting from capital offerings during the year.  This 
funding was deployed to support total loan growth of $296.9 million, or 31.1%, and to purchase investment securities with total 
securities balances increasing $259.7 million, or 121.5%.

The Company continued to experience strong loan growth as total loans rose to $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2016, 
an increase of $296.9 million, or 31.1%, compared to December 31, 2015.  Driving this growth was sustained production in single 
tenant  lease  financing  with  balances  increasing  $232.2  million,  or  62.0%,  during  2016  as  market  conditions  for  this  product 
remained  favorable  and  the  Company  expanded  its  relationships  with  borrowers  and  financing  partners.   Additionally,  other 
consumer  loans  increased  $65.1  million,  or  60.1%,  during  2016  due  to  the  Company’s  recent  initiative  in  financing  home 
improvement loans as well as increased originations in horse trailer and recreational vehicle loans.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority 

Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory policies with loan approval limits approved by the Board of 
Directors of the Bank.  Loan officers have underwriting and approval authorization of varying amounts based on their lending 
experience and product type.  Additionally, based on the amount of the loan, multiple approvals may be required.  Based on the 
Company’s legal lending limit, the maximum the Bank could lend to any one borrower at December 31, 2016 was $26.0 million.

Our goal is to have a well-diversified and balanced loan portfolio.  In order to manage our loan portfolio risk, we establish 
concentration limits by borrower, product type, industry and geography.  To supplement our internal loan review resources, we 
have engaged an independent third-party loan review group, which is a key component of our overall risk management process 
related to credit administration.

A  loan  is  designated  as  impaired,  in  accordance  with  the  impairment  accounting  guidance  when,  based  on  current 
information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) according 
to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  Payments with delays generally not exceeding 90 days outstanding are not considered 
impaired.  Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days past due may be considered to be impaired.  
Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the 
loan is well-secured and in the process of collection.  The accrual of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued 
when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.

Impaired loans include nonperforming loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) 
where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction 
in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize 
collection.

Nonperforming loans are comprised of total nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due and accruing.  Nonperforming 
assets include nonperforming loans, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets, which consist of repossessed assets. 
Nonperforming assets also included investments that were classified as other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2012.

December 31,

The increase in total nonperforming assets was due primarily to an increase in nonaccrual residential mortgage loans. 
Total nonperforming loans increased $0.9 million, or 548.5%, to $1.1 million as of December 31, 2016 compared to $0.2 million 
as of December 31, 2015.  As a result of the increase in nonperforming loans, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans 
increased to 0.09% as of December 31, 2016 compared to 0.02% as of December 31, 2015.  While total nonperforming assets 
increased year-over-year, the pace of total asset growth was higher and, as a result, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets 
improved to 0.31% as of December 31, 2016 compared to 0.37% as of December 31, 2015.

As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had one commercial property in other real estate owned 
with a carrying value of $4.5 million.  This balance primarily consists of a property with two buildings which are residential units 
adjacent to a university campus.  Improvements to the property have been made in collaboration with the university and the 
property continues to be occupied. As of December 31, 2016, the Company also had one residential property in other real estate 
owned with a carrying value of less than $0.1 million.

The  determination  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  and  the  related  provision  for  loan  losses  are  components  of  our 
significant accounting policies as discussed within Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.  The adequacy of the ALLL 
and the provision are based on the review and evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflect management’s assessment of the risks 
and potential losses within the portfolio.  This evaluation considers historical loss experience as well as qualitative factors such

Management actively monitors asset quality and, when appropriate, charges off loans against the allowance for loan 
losses.  Although management believes it uses the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowance 
for loan losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in 
the assumptions used to determine the size of the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses was $11.0 million as of December 31, 2016, compared to $8.4 million as of December 31, 
2015.  The increase of $2.6 million, or 31.5%, was due primarily to the continued growth in commercial loan balances. During 
the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded net charge offs of $1.7 million, compared to net recoveries
of $0.6 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the 
net charge offs were driven primarily by a $1.6 million charge off of a single commercial and industrial loan.  The charge offs
were partially offset by recoveries of $0.5 million, primarily related to the commercial and industrial loan that was charged off 
and other consumer loans.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the net recoveries were driven primarily by a 
$0.5 million recovery of an investor commercial real estate loan that had been previously charged-off and a $0.4 million recovery 
of a residential mortgage loan, of which $0.3 million related to the recapture of principal previously charged-off. The recoveries 
were partially offset by charge-offs of $0.6 million in residential mortgage and other consumer loans. 

 The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans remained stable at 0.88% as of December 31, 2016 compared 
to December 31, 2015, and decreased as a percentage of nonperforming loans to 1,013.9% as of December 31, 2016, from to 
5,000.6% as of December 31, 2015.

Investment Securities

In managing the Company’s investment securities portfolio, management focuses on providing an adequate level of 
liquidity and establishing an interest rate-sensitive position, while earning an adequate level of investment income without taking 
undue risk. Investment securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the 
objective of generating economic profits on short-term differences in market characteristics are classified as securities held for 
trading.  Securities that we intend to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities, and all other investment 
securities  are  classified  as  available-for-sale. The  carrying  values  of  available-for-sale  investment  securities  are  adjusted  for 
unrealized gains or losses as a valuation allowance and any gain or loss is reported on an after-tax basis as a component of other 
comprehensive income (loss). 

The  Company  periodically  evaluates  each  security  in  an  unrealized  loss  position  to  determine  if  the  impairment  is 
temporary  or  other-than-temporary. As  of  December 31,  2016,  the  unrealized  losses  in  the  Company’s  investment  securities 
portfolio were due primarily to interest rate changes.  The Company has the ability and intent to hold all investment securities 
with identified impairments resulting from interest rate changes to the earlier of the forecasted recovery or the maturity of the 
underlying investment security. As of December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any investment securities of a single issuer 
that exceeded 10% of shareholders’ equity.  The term "issuer" excludes the U.S. Government and its sponsored agencies and 
corporations.

The approximate fair value of investment securities available-for-sale increased $243.0 million, or 113.7%, to $456.7 
million as of December 31, 2016 compared to $213.7 million as of December 31, 2015.  The increase was due primarily to increases 
of $118.6 million in mortgage-backed securities, $70.4 million in municipal securities, $54.1 million in U.S. Government-sponsored 
agencies and $0.2 million in asset-backed securities, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in corporate securities.  The 
increases were primarily a result of investment purchases during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, as the Company 
deployed funds generated through deposit growth to further diversify the securities portfolio and enhance net interest income, 
while supporting liquidity and interest rate risk management.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company had securities with an 
amortized cost basis of $16.7 million designated as held-to-maturity, reflecting additional investment purchases made during 2016.

Total deposits increased $506.8 million, or 53.0%, to $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2016 as compared to $956.1 million
as of December 31, 2015.  During 2016, the Company determined to enhance both balance sheet liquidity and asset sensitivity 
through strategies to increase term deposit funding, resulting in growth in certificates of deposit of $494.1 million, or 105.0%.  
The increase in total deposits was also supplemented by growth in interest-bearing demand deposits, noninterest-bearing deposits 
and savings accounts.

Although deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities and for general business 
purposes, we may use short term advances from the FHLB to manage liquidity needs and longer term advances to supplement 
balance sheet growth and manage interest rate risk.  The following table is a summary of FHLB borrowings for the periods indicated.

While the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its cash and capital expenditure 
requirements for at least the next twelve months, including any cash dividends it may pay, the Company intends to continue 
pursuing its growth strategy, which may require additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure such capital at favorable 
terms, its ability to execute its growth strategy could be adversely affected.

Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet 
its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations.  Liquidity, 
represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities.  The 
primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and 
investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings.  While scheduled payments and maturities 
of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by interest rates, 
general economic conditions and competition.  Therefore, the Company supplements deposit growth and enhances interest rate 
risk management through borrowings, which are generally advances from the FHLB.

The Company maintains cash and investment securities that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to 
ensure safe and sound operations and meet its financial commitments.  At December 31, 2016, on a consolidated basis, the Company 
had $496.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing time deposits and investment securities available-for-sale and 
$27.1 million in loans held-for-sale that were generally available for its cash needs.  The Company can also generate funds from 
wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings.  At December 31, 2016, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional 
$273.6 million in advances from the FHLB and correspondent bank Fed Funds lines of credit.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity.  In addition to its operating 
expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common shareholders and interest and principal 
on outstanding debt.  The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash maintained at the holding company level and dividends 
from the Bank, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limits.  At December 31, 2016, the Company, on an unconsolidated 
basis, had $29.4 million in cash generally available for its cash needs.

37

 
 
 
The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing financial commitments, including withdrawals by 
depositors, credit commitments to borrowers, operating expenses and capital expenditures.  At December 31, 2016, approved 
outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $132.5 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled 
to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2016 totaled $387.7 million.  Generally, the Company believes that a majority of 
maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

In March 2013, the Company borrowed $4.0 million from the Bank for the purchase of the Company’s principal executive 
offices. The original scheduled maturity date of the loan was March 6, 2014. Effective March 6, 2014, the Company entered into 
an Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that, among other things, extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2015. 
Effective March 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that extended the 
maturity  of  the  loan  to  March  6,  2016.   Effective  February  26,  2016,  the  Company  entered  into  a  Third Acknowledgment, 
Confirmation and Amendment that extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2017.  Effective February 21, 2017, the Company 
entered into a Fourth Acknowledgment, Confirmation and Amendment that, among other things, replaced the principal amount 
of the loan with $3.6 million and extended the maturity of the loan to March 6, 2020.  The loan bears interest during the term at 
a variable rate equal to the then applicable prime rate (as determined by the Bank with reference to the “Prime Rate” published 
in  The  Wall  Street  Journal)  plus  1.00%  per  annum.  The  loan  agreement  contains  customary  warranties  and  representations, 
affirmative covenants and events of default. The loan agreement provides that the loan is to be secured by a first priority mortgage 
and lien on the acquired property and requires that the Company, at all times, maintain collateral securing the loan with an “as is” 
market value of not less than 1.3 times the principal balance of the loan.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This annual report on Form 10-K contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with 
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, 
tangible assets, average tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common 
equity and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets are used by management to measure the strength of its capital 
and its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders.  Although the Company believes these non-
GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures 
determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be 
presented by other companies.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP 
financial measures are included in the following table.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Allowance for Loan Losses. We believe the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting policy that requires the 
most significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of  our consolidated financial statements. An estimate of 
potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio is determined and an allowance for those losses is established by considering factors 
including historical loss rates, expected cash flows, and estimated collateral values. The allowance for loan losses represents 
management’s best estimate of losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased by the 
provision for loan losses charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Management evaluates the 
allowance for loan losses quarterly. If the underlying assumptions later prove to be inaccurate based on subsequent loss evaluations, 
the allowance for loan losses is adjusted.

39

 
 
Management estimates the appropriate level of allowance for loan losses by separately evaluating impaired and non-
impaired loans. A specific allowance is assigned to an impaired loan when expected cash flows or collateral do not justify the 
carrying amount of the loan. The methodology used to assign an allowance to a non-impaired loan is more subjective. Generally, 
the allowance assigned to non-impaired loans is determined by applying historical loss rates to existing loans with similar risk 
characteristics, adjusted for qualitative factors including changes in economic conditions, changes in underwriting standards, and 
changes in concentrations of credit risk, and changes in industry conditions. Because the economic and business climate in any 
given  industry  or  market,  and  its  impact  on  any  given  borrower,  can  change  rapidly,  the  risk  profile  of  the  loan  portfolio  is 
periodically assessed and adjusted when appropriate. Notwithstanding these procedures, there still exists the possibility that the 
assessment could prove to be significantly incorrect and that an immediate adjustment to the allowance for loan losses would be 
required.

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. We classify investments in debt and equity securities as available-for-sale in 
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 320, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity 
Securities.” Securities classified as held-to-maturity would be recorded at cost or amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are 
carried at fair value. Fair value calculations are based on quoted market prices, when such prices are available. If quoted market 
prices are not available, estimates of fair value are computed using a variety of pricing sources, including Reuters/EJV, Interactive 
Data and Standard & Poors. Due to the subjective nature of the valuation process, it is possible that the actual fair values of these 
investments could differ from the estimated amounts, thereby affecting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. 
If the estimated value of investments is less than the cost or amortized cost, management evaluates whether an event or change 
in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If such an event or 
change has occurred and management determines that the impairment is other-than-temporary, a further determination is made as 
to the portion of impairment that is related to credit loss. The impairment of the investment that is related to the credit loss is 
expensed in the period in which the event or change occurred. The remainder of the impairment is recorded in other comprehensive 
income (loss).

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”). OREO acquired through loan foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less 
costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. The adjustment at the time of foreclosure is recorded through the 
allowance for loan losses. Due to the subjective nature of establishing the fair value when the asset is acquired, the actual fair 
value of the OREO or foreclosed asset could differ from the original estimate. If it is determined that fair value declines subsequent 
to foreclosure, a valuation adjustment is recorded through noninterest expense. Net operating costs associated with the assets after 
acquisition are also recorded as noninterest expense. Gains and losses on the disposition of OREO and foreclosed assets are netted 
and posted through noninterest income.

Impairment of Goodwill. As a result of the Company’s previous acquisition of Landmark Financial Corporation, goodwill, 
an intangible asset with an indefinite life, is reflected on the balance sheet. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, unless 
there are factors present that indicate a potential impairment, in which case, the goodwill impairment test is performed more 
frequently.

Deferred Income Tax Assets/Liabilities. Our net deferred income tax asset arises from differences in the dates that items 
of income and expense enter into our reported income and taxable income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for 
these items as they arise. From an accounting standpoint, deferred tax assets are reviewed to determine if they are realizable based 
on the historical level of taxable income, estimates of future taxable income and the reversals of deferred tax liabilities. In most 
cases, the realization of the deferred tax asset is based on future profitability. If we were to experience net operating losses for tax 
purposes in a future period, the realization of deferred tax assets would be evaluated for a potential valuation reserve.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  Company  enters  into  financial  transactions  to  extend  credit  and  forms  of 
commitments that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.  We enter into forward contracts relating to our mortgage 
banking business to hedge the exposures we have from commitments to extend new residential mortgage loans to our customers 
and from our mortgage loans held-for-sale.  At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had commitments to sell residential 
real estate loans of $61.0 million and $42.7 million, respectively.  These contracts mature in less than one year.

Item 7A. 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in 
interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The primary source of market risk for the Company is interest rate risk. 
Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and the value of the Company’s equity resulting from changes in market interest rates and 
arises in the normal course of business to the extent that there are timing and volume differences between the amount of interest-
earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, re-priced or mature in specified periods. 
The Company seeks to achieve consistent growth in net interest income and equity while managing volatility arising from shifts 
in market interest rates. 

The Company monitors its interest rate risk position using income simulation models and economic value of equity 
(“EVE”) sensitivity analysis that capture both short-term and long-term interest rate risk exposure. Income simulation involves 
forecasting net interest income (“NII”) under a variety of interest rate scenarios. The Company uses EVE sensitivity analysis to 
understand the impact of changes in interest rates on long-term cash flows, income and capital. EVE is calculated by discounting 
the cash flows for all balance sheet instruments under different interest-rate scenarios. Modeling the sensitivity of NII and EVE 
to changes in market interest rates is highly dependent on the assumptions incorporated into the modeling process. The Company 
continually reviews and refines the assumptions used in its interest rate risk modeling. 

Presented below is the estimated impact on the Company's NII and EVE position as of December 31, 2016, assuming 

parallel shifts in interest rates:

% Change from Base Case for Parallel Changes in Rates

-100 Basis Points 1

+100 Basis Points

+200 Basis Points

NII - next twelve months

EVE

0.68%

2.16%

0.50 %

(7.26)%

1.31 %

(14.99)%

 ___________________________________
1 Because certain current interest rates are at or below 1.00%, the 100 basis point downward shock assumes that certain corresponding interest 
rates approach an implied floor that, in effect, reflects a decrease of less than the full 100 basis point downward shock. 

The  Company’s  objective  is  to  manage  the  balance  sheet  with  a  bias  toward  asset  sensitivity  while  simultaneously 
balancing the potential earnings impact of this strategy. A “risk-neutral” position refers to the absence of a strong bias toward 
either asset or liability sensitivity.  An “asset sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected 
to generate higher net interest income when interest rates, primarily short-term rates, increase as rates earned on interest-earning 
assets would reprice upward more quickly or in greater quantities than rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice.  A 
“liability sensitive” position refers to when the characteristics of the balance sheet are expected to generate lower net interest 
income when short-term interest rates increase as rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities would reprice upward more quickly or 
in greater quantities than rates earned on interest-earning assets.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information the Company 
is required to disclose in reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 
“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms. These 
controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, 
including  our  principal  executive  and  principal  financial  officer,  as  appropriate,  to  allow  timely  decisions  regarding  required 
disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, the Company has recognized that any controls and 
procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control 
objectives. Management is required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures.

The Company performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the 
Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to assess the effectiveness of the design and operation of 
our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal 
executive  officer  and  principal  financial  officer,  concluded  that  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  were  effective  as  of 
December 31, 2016.

Report of Management's Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the 
Company, including accounting and other internal control systems that, in the opinion of management, provide reasonable assurance 
that (1) transactions are properly authorized, (2) the assets are properly safeguarded, and (3) transactions are properly recorded 
and reported to permit the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States. The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on 
that assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting 
is effective based on those criteria. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 has been 
audited by BKD, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report appearing on page F-2. 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 

2016, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Shareholders
First Internet Bancorp
Fishers, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) as of December 31, 
2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows 
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016.  The Company's management is responsible for these 
financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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.  Our audits 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.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of First Internet Bancorp as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the 
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), First 
Internet Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 
and our report dated March 14, 2017, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control 
over financial reporting.

Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Shareholders
First Internet Bancorp
Fishers, Indiana

We have audited First Internet Bancorp's (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, 
based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The Company's management is responsible 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 Report of Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control 
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit 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 audit also included performing such other procedures as we 
considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Note 1:   

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of First Internet Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) conform to accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  A summary of the Company’s significant accounting 
policies follows:

Description of Business

The Company was incorporated on September 15, 2005, and consummated a plan of exchange on March 21, 2006, by 
which the Company became a bank holding company and 100% owner of First Internet Bank of Indiana (the “Bank”).

The Bank provides commercial and retail banking services, with operations conducted on the Internet at www.firstib.com
and primarily through its corporate office located in Fishers, Indiana as well as a loan production office in Tempe, Arizona.  
The majority of the Bank’s income is derived from commercial lending, retail lending, and mortgage banking activities.  
The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions.  The Bank is regulated by certain state and federal 
agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

JKH Realty Services, LLC was established August 20, 2012 as a single member LLC wholly-owned by the Bank to 
manage other real estate owned properties as needed.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.  All 
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Company’s business 
activities are currently limited to one reporting unit and reportable segment, which is commercial banking.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  The Company utilizes 
processes that involve the use of significant estimates and the judgment of management in determining the amount of the 
Company’s  allowance  for  loan  losses  and  income  taxes  and  valuation  and  impairments  of  investment  securities  and 
goodwill, as well as fair value measurements of derivatives and loans held-for-sale.  Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.  

Securities

The Company classifies its securities in one of three categories and accounts for the investments as follows:

• 

• 

• 

Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-
maturity” and reported at amortized cost.

Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term with the objective 
of  generating  economic  profits  on  short-term  differences  in  market  characteristics  are  classified  as  “trading 
securities” and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.  The Company had 
no securities classified as “trading securities” at December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Securities not classified as either “held-to-maturity” or “trading securities” are classified as “securities available-
for-sale”  and  reported  at  fair  value,  with  unrealized  gains  and  losses,  after  applicable  taxes,  excluded  from 
earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  Declines in the value of debt securities 
and marketable equity securities that are considered to be other-than-temporary are recorded as an other-than-
temporary impairment of securities available-for-sale with other-than-temporary impairment losses recorded in 
the consolidated statements of income.

F-8

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
 
First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Interest and dividend income, adjusted by amortization of premium or discount, is included in earnings using the effective 
interest rate method.  Purchases and sales of securities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets on the trade date.  
Gains and losses from security sales or disposals are recognized as of the trade date in the consolidated statements of 
income for the period in which securities are sold or otherwise disposed of.  Gains and losses on sales of securities are 
determined using the specific-identification method.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under best-efforts pricing agreements are carried at the 
lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate.  Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance 
by charges to noninterest income.  

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements are carried at fair 
value to facilitate hedging of the loans.  Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are included in noninterest 
income. 

Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred 
at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan.

Revenue Recognition

Interest income on loans is accrued as earned using the interest method based on unpaid principal balances except for 
interest on loans in nonaccrual status.  Interest on loans in nonaccrual status is recorded as a reduction of loan principal 
when received.

Premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest rate method.

Loan fees, net of certain direct origination costs, primarily salaries and wages, are deferred and amortized to interest 
income as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan.

Loans

Loans that management intends to hold until maturity are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for 
unearned  income,  charge-offs,  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  (“ALLL”),  any  unamortized  deferred  fees  or  costs  on 
originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

For loans recorded at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net 
of certain direct origination costs, as well as premiums and discounts, are deferred and amortized as a level yield adjustment 
over the respective term of the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses Methodology

Company policy is designed to maintain an adequate ALLL.  Primary responsibility for ensuring that the Company has 
processes in place to consistently assess the adequacy of the ALLL rests with the Board of Directors (the “Board”).  The 
Board has charged management with responsibility for establishing the methodology to be used and to assess the adequacy 
of the ALLL.  The Board reviews recommendations from management on a quarterly basis to adjust the allowance as 
appropriate.

The methodology employed by management for each portfolio segment, at a minimum, contains the following:

1.  Loans are segmented by type of loan.

First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

2.  The required ALLL for types of performing homogeneous loans which do not have a specific reserve is 
determined by applying a factor based on historical losses averaged over the past sixteen quarters. In those 
instances where the Company’s historical experience is not available, management develops factors based 
on industry experience and best practices.

3.  All criticized, classified and impaired loans are tested for impairment by applying one of three methodologies:

a.  Present value of future cash flows;

b.  Fair value of collateral less costs to sell; or

c.  The loan’s observable market price

4.  All troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) are considered impaired loans.

5.  Loans tested for impairment are removed from other pools to prevent layering (double-counting).  

6.  The required ALLL for each group of loans are added together to determine the total required ALLL for the 
Company.  The required ALLL is compared to the existing ALLL to determine the provision required to 
increase the ALLL or credit to decrease the ALLL.

The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and considers two weighted average net charge-off 
trends: 1) the Company’s average loss history over the previous sixteen quarters; and 2) average loss history over the 
previous sixteen quarters for a peer group.  Management believes the historical loss experience methodology is appropriate 
in the current economic environment, as it captures loss rates that are comparable to the current period being analyzed.

The Company also factors in the following qualitative considerations:

1.  Changes in policies and procedures;

2.  Changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions;

3.  Changes in the composition and size of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

4.  Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

5.  Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and 

severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

6.  Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system;

7.  Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;

8.  The existence and effect of any concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

9.  The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level 

of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

Provision for Loan Losses

A provision for estimated losses on loans is charged to income based upon management’s evaluation of the potential 
losses.  Such an evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full repayment may not be reasonably assured, 
considers, among other matters, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, as applicable, economic 
conditions, loan loss experience, and other factors that are particularly susceptible to changes that could result in a material 
adjustment in the near term.  While management attempts to use the best information available in making its evaluations, 
future allowance adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions change substantially from the assumptions used 
in making the evaluations.

Nonaccrual Loans

Any loan which becomes 90 days delinquent or for which the full collection of principal and interest may be in doubt 
will be considered for nonaccrual status. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all accrued but unpaid interest 
will be reversed from interest income.  Placing the loan on nonaccrual status does not relieve the borrower of the obligation 
to repay interest.  A loan placed on nonaccrual status may be restored to accrual status when all delinquent principal and 
interest has been brought current, and the Company expects full payment of the remaining contractual principal and 
interest.

Impaired Loans

A  loan  is  designated  as  impaired,  in  accordance  with  the  impairment  accounting  guidance  when,  based  on  current 
information or events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (principal and interest) 
according  to  the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement.    Payments  with  delays  generally  not  exceeding  90  days 
outstanding are not considered impaired.  Certain nonaccrual and substantially all delinquent loans more than 90 days 
past due may be considered to be impaired.  Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and 
accrued interest is reversed against earnings, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection.  The accrual 
of interest on impaired and nonaccrual loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable 
to meet payments as they become due.

Impaired loans include nonperforming loans but also include loans modified in TDRs where concessions have been 
granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate 
on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables, requires that impaired loans be measured based on 
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans’ effective interest rates or the fair value of the 
underlying collateral, less costs to sell, and allows existing methods for recognizing interest income.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”)

The loan portfolio includes certain loans that have been modified in a TDR, where economic concessions have been 
granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from loss mitigation 
efforts and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other 
actions.  Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and typically are returned to performing 
status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally not less than 
six months.

When loans are modified in a TDR, any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans is evaluated based on either 
the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, 
or the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans.  If it is determined that the value 
of the modified loan is less than the recorded balance of the loan, impairment is recognized through a specific ALLL or 
charge-off to the ALLL.  In periods subsequent to modification, all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, 
are evaluated for possible impairment, and impairment is recognized through the ALLL.

Policy for Charging Off Loans

The Company’s policy is to charge off a loan at any point in time when it no longer can be considered a bankable asset, 
meaning collectible within the parameters of policy. A secured loan is generally charged down to the estimated fair value 
of the collateral, less costs to sell, no later than when it is 120 days past due as to principal or interest.  An unsecured 
loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 180 days past due as to principal or interest.  A home improvement 
loan generally is charged off no later than when it is 90 days past due as to principal or interest.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Indianapolis Stock

Federal law requires a member institution of the FHLB system to hold common stock of its district FHLB according to 
a predetermined formula.  This investment is stated at cost, which represents redemption value, and may be pledged as 
collateral for FHLB advances.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line 
method over the estimated useful lives, which range from three to five years for software and equipment, ten years for 
land improvements, and 39 years for buildings.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned represents real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and is recorded 
at its fair value less estimated costs to sell. When property is acquired, it is recorded at its fair value at the date of acquisition 
with any resulting write-down charged against the ALLL. Any subsequent deterioration of the property is charged directly 
to operating expense.  Costs relating to the development and improvement of other real estate owned are capitalized, 
whereas costs relating to holding and maintaining the property are charged to expense as incurred. 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that 
changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities.  The Company enters into 
forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and enters into interest rate lock 
commitments with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market.  The 
forward contracts are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from 
the Company’s commitment to fund the loans.

Each of these items are considered derivatives, but are not designated as accounting hedges, and are recorded at fair value 
with changes in fair value reflected in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income.  The fair value of 
derivative instruments with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the consolidated 
balance sheets while derivative instruments with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities 
in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company records or discloses certain assets and liabilities at fair value.  ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, 
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels 
in a valuation hierarchy.  ASC Topic 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

F-12

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Level 2  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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value 

of the assets or liabilities

There were no transfers that occurred and, therefore, recognized, between any of the fair value hierarchy levels at 
December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between amounts of assets and 
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws and regulations.  
Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based upon the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities from period to 
period, subject  to an  ongoing assessment  of  realization of  deferred tax  assets.    Deferred  tax assets  are  reduced by  a 
valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a 
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, Indiana, and other state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the 
Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013.

ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement 
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax 
return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, 
disclosure and transition.  The Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions that it believes should be recognized 
in the consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings  per  share  of  common  stock  is  based  on  the  weighted-average  number  of  basic  shares  and  dilutive  shares 
outstanding during the year.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average common shares for the basic and diluted earnings per share

The  Company  has  a  share-based  compensation  plan  using  the  fair  value  recognition  provisions  of ASC  Topic  718, 
Compensation - Stock Compensation.  The plan is described more fully in Note 10.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income 
(loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale.

Reclassification adjustments have been determined for all components of other comprehensive income or loss reported 
in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

Statements of Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents are defined to include cash on-hand, noninterest and interest-bearing amounts due from other 
banks and federal funds sold.  Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.  The Company reports net cash flows 
for customer loan transactions and deposit transactions.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Bank-owned life insurance policies are carried at their cash surrender value.  The Company recognizes tax-free income 
from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment.  If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, 
goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value.  Subsequent increases in goodwill 
value are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 and 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2016 financial 
statement presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

Note 2:   

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At December 31, 2016, the Company’s interest-bearing cash accounts at other institutions did not exceed the limits for 
full FDIC insurance coverage.  However, approximately $0.6 million and $36.6 million of cash was held by the FHLB 
of Indianapolis and Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, respectively, which are not federally insured.

The Company is required to maintain reserve funds in cash and/or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank.  The reserve 
required at December 31, 2016 was $0.6 million.

Note 3:

The following tables summarize securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity as of December 31, 2016

Gross realized gains of $0.2 million, $0.0 million, and $2.7 million and gross realized losses of $0.0 million, $0.0 million, 
and $2.2 million resulting from sales of available-for-sale securities were recognized during the twelve months ended
December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities pledged as collateral was $342.3 
million.  The Company pledged the securities for various types of transactions, including FHLB advances and derivative 
financial instruments.

First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the consolidated financial statements at an amount less than their 
historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $422.9 million and $166.1 
million, which is approximately 89% and 78%, respectively, of the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity 
securities  portfolio.  These  declines  primarily  resulted  from  fluctuations  in  market  interest  rates  after  purchase.  
Management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.

Should the impairment of any of these securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be 
reduced with the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is 
identified.

 U.S. Government-Sponsored Agencies, Municipal Securities, and Corporate Securities

The  unrealized  losses  on  the  Company’s  investments  in  securities  issued  by  U.S.  Government-sponsored  agencies, 
municipal organizations and corporate entities were caused by interest rate changes.  The contractual terms of those 
investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments.  
Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to 
sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider 
those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2016.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities were caused by 
interest rate changes.  The Company expects to recover the amortized cost bases over the term of the securities.  Because 
the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the 
investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those 
investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2016.

Other Securities

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in other securities were caused by the investment in the Community 
Reinvestment Act Qualified Fund. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not likely that 
the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company does not 
consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2016. 

The following tables show the securities portfolio’s gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment 
category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at December 31, 
2016 and 2015:

Credit Losses Recognized on Investments

Certain debt securities have experienced fair value deterioration due to credit losses and other market factors, but are not 
considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

The following table provides information about debt securities for which only a credit loss was recognized in income and 
other losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  The Company did not own any securities categorized

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial and Industrial: Commercial and industrial loans’ sources of repayment are primarily based on the identified 
cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower.  The cash flows of 
borrowers, however, may not be as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value.  Loans are 
made for working capital, equipment purchases, or other purposes.  Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by 
the assets being financed and may incorporate a personal guarantee.

Owner-Occupied  Commercial  Real  Estate:  The  primary  source  of  repayment  is  the  cash  flow  from  the  ongoing 
operations and activities conducted by the borrower, or an affiliate of the borrower, who owns the property.  This portfolio 
segment is generally concentrated in the Central Indiana and greater Phoenix, Arizona markets and its loans often times 
are secured by manufacturing and service facilities, as well as office buildings.

F-19

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Investor Commercial Real Estate: These loans are underwritten primarily based on the cash flow expected to be generated 
from the property and are secondarily supported by the value of the real estate.  These loans typically incorporate a 
personal guarantee.  This portfolio segment generally involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these 
loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on 
the property securing the loan.  Investor commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in 
the real estate markets, changing industry dynamics, or the overall health of the general economy.  The properties securing 
the Company’s investor commercial real estate portfolio tend to be diverse in terms of property type and are typically 
located in the state of Indiana and markets adjacent to Indiana.  Management monitors and evaluates commercial real 
estate loans based on property financial performance, collateral value, guarantor strength, and other risk grade criteria.  
As a general rule, the Company avoids financing special use projects or properties outside of its designated market areas 
unless other underwriting factors are present to mitigate these additional risks.

Construction: Construction loans are secured by real estate and improvements and are made to assist in the construction 
of new structures, which may include commercial (retail, industrial, office, multi-family) properties or single family 
residential properties offered for sale by the builder.  These loans generally finance a variety of project costs, including 
land, site preparation, construction, closing and soft costs and interim financing needs.  The cash flows of builders, while 
initially predictable, may fluctuate with market conditions, and the value of the collateral securing these loans may be 
subject to fluctuations based on general economic changes.

Single Tenant  Lease  Financing: These  loans  are  made  to  property  owners  of  real  estate  subject  to  long  term  lease 
arrangements with single tenant operators. The real estate is typically operated by regionally, nationally or globally branded 
businesses.  The loans are underwritten based on the financial strength of the borrower, characteristics of the real estate, 
cash flows generated from the lease arrangements and the financial strength of the tenant.  Similar to the other loan 
portfolio segments, management monitors and evaluates these loans based on borrower and tenant financial performance, 
collateral value, industry trends and other risk grade criteria.

Residential Mortgage: With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally 
owner  occupied,  the  Company  typically  establishes  a  maximum  loan-to-value  ratio  and  requires  private  mortgage 
insurance if that ratio is exceeded.  Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the financial circumstances of 
the  borrowers,  which  can  be  impacted  by  economic  conditions  in  their  market  areas  such  as  unemployment  levels.  
Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values.  Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans 
are  of  smaller  individual  amounts  and  spread  over  a  large  number  of  borrowers  in  geographically  diverse  locations 
throughout the country.

Home Equity: Home equity loans and lines of credit are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences.  
The  properties  securing  the  Company's  home  equity  portfolio  segment  are  generally  geographically  diverse  as  the 
Company offers these products on a nationwide basis.  Repayment of home equity loans and lines of credit may be 
impacted  by  changes  in  property  values  on  residential  properties  and  unemployment  levels,  among  other  economic 
conditions and financial circumstances in the market.

Other Consumer: These loans primarily consist of consumer loans and credit cards.  Consumer loans may be secured 
by consumer assets such as horse trailers or recreational vehicles.  Some consumer loans are unsecured, such as small 
installment  loans,  home  improvement  loans  and  certain  lines  of  credit.    Repayment  of  consumer  loans  is  primarily 
dependent upon the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market 
areas such as unemployment levels.  Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and 
spread over a large number of borrowers in geographically diverse locations throughout the country.

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial loans.  In the third quarter 
2016, the Company updated its risk grading matrix to improve precision within the “Pass” risk grades.  Commercial loans 
are now graded on a scale of 1 to 10, whereas commercial loans were previously graded on a scale of 1 to 9.  This update 
to the risk grading matrix did not have an impact on the ALLL.  The following table illustrates the risk ratings utilized 
as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Rating

Pass

Special Mention

A description of the general characteristics of the ten risk grades is as follows:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

“Pass” - Higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.

“Special  Mention”  -  Loans  that  possess  some  credit  deficiency  or  potential  weakness  which  deserve  close 
attention.

“Substandard” - Loans that possess a defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  
Loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are 
not corrected.  Loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor 
or of the collateral pledged, if any.  

“Doubtful” - Such loans have been placed on nonaccrual status and may be heavily dependent upon collateral 
possessing a value that is difficult to determine or based upon some near-term event which lacks clear certainty.  
These loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard; however, based on existing conditions, 
these weaknesses make full collection of the principal balance highly improbable.

“Loss” - Loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets 
is not warranted.

The following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio based on rating category

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amount of goodwill was $4.7 million.  There have been no changes in 
the carrying amount of goodwill for the three years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014.  Goodwill is tested for 
impairment on an annual basis as of August 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying 
amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.  No events or changes in circumstances have occurred since the August 
31, 2016 annual impairment test that would suggest it was more likely than not goodwill impairment existed.

respectively.  As of December 31, 2016, the interest rates on the Company’s outstanding FHLB advances ranged from 
0.74% to 4.22%, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.21%.  All advances are collateralized by mortgage loans 
pledged and held by the Company and investment securities pledged by the Company and held in safekeeping with the 
FHLB.  Mortgage loans pledged were approximately $166.4 million and $186.4 million as of December 31, 2016 and 
2015, respectively, and the fair value of investment securities pledged to the FHLB was approximately $340.6 million
and $148.7 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had a $50.0 million option-embedded advance that is scheduled to 
mature on April 17, 2020.  The advance converted from a variable rate of 3-month LIBOR minus 0.75% to a fixed rate 
equal to 1.0525% on April 18, 2016.  The FHLB has the option to put the advance prior to its scheduled maturity date.  
If the advance is put by the FHLB, the Company has the option to request to convert the advance to an adjustable rate 
advance of predetermined index for the remaining term to maturity, at the FHLB’s discretion. Subsequent to December 31, 
2016, the FHLB elected to exercise the option to put the advance back to the Company. As a result, the Company refinanced 
the advance with another borrowing with the FHLB.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had a $40.0 million symmetrical fixed rate bullet advance that is 
scheduled to mature on January 19, 2021. The terms of the advance allow the Company to terminate the advance prior 
to its scheduled maturity date.  If the Company elects to terminate the advance prior to its scheduled maturity date and 
the interest rate for the advance is above market rates relative to an advance with a similar remaining term, the Company 
will be required to pay a prepayment fee based on the mark-to-market adjustment of the advance.  If the Company elects 
to terminate the advance prior to its scheduled maturity date and the interest rate for the advance is below market rates 
relative to an advance with a similar remaining term, the Company would be eligible for a prepayment credit and could 
realize a gain.    

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had a $15.0 million fixed rate advance that is scheduled to mature on 
September 2, 2025.  The FHLB has a one-time option to put the advance on September 2, 2020.  If the FHLB exercises 
its option to put the advance, the advance will be prepayable without a fee at the Company’s option on the exercise date.  
If the Company requests to convert the advance to an adjustable rate after the FHLB has put the advance, the Company 
may prepay the advance without a fee on any subsequent quarterly reset date.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a $10.0 million fixed rate advance that is scheduled to mature on February 
19, 2026.  The FHLB has a one-time option to put the advance on February 19, 2021.  If the FHLB exercises its option 
to put the advance, the advance will be prepayable without a fee at the Company’s option on the exercise date.  If the 
Company requests to convert the advance to an adjustable rate after the FHLB has put the advance, the Company may 
prepay the advance without a fee on any subsequent quarterly reset date.

Note 9:   

Subordinated Debt

In June 2013, the Company issued a subordinated debenture (the “2021 Debenture”) in the principal amount of $3.0 
million.  The 2021 Debenture bears a fixed interest rate of 8.00% per year, payable quarterly, and is scheduled to mature 
on June 28, 2021.  The 2021 Debenture may be repaid, without penalty, at any time after June 28, 2016. The 2021 Debenture 
is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines.

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

In connection with the 2021 Debenture, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase up to 48,750 shares of common 
stock at an initial per share exercise price equal to $19.33.  The warrant became exercisable on June 28, 2014 and, unless 
previously exercised, will expire on June 28, 2021.  The Company has the right to force an exercise of the warrant after 
the 2021 Debenture has been repaid in full if the 20-day volume-weighted average price of a share of its common stock 
exceeds $30.00.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to assign a fair value of $0.3 million to the warrant as of June 
28, 2013.  The following assumptions were used to value the warrant: a risk-free interest rate of 0.66% per the U.S. 
Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of issuance; an expected dividend yield of 1.19% calculated using the dividend 
rate and stock price at the date of the issuance; and an expected volatility of 34% based on the estimated volatility of the 
Company’s stock over the expected term of the warrant, which is estimated to be three years.

In October 2015, the Company entered into a term loan in the principal amount of $10.0 million, evidenced by a term 
note due 2025 (the “2025 Note”).  The 2025 Note bears a fixed interest rate of 6.4375% per year, payable quarterly, and 
is scheduled to mature on October 1, 2025.  The 2025 Note is an unsecured subordinated obligation of the Company and 
may be repaid, without penalty, on any interest payment date on or after October 15, 2020.  The 2025 Note is intended 
to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines.

In  September  2016,  the  Company  issued  $25.0  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of  6.0%  Fixed-to-Floating  Rate 
Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) in a public offering.  The 2026 Notes initially bear a fixed interest rate 
of 6.00% per year to, but excluding September 30, 2021, and thereafter a floating rate equal to the then-current three-
month LIBOR rate plus 485 basis points.  All interest on the 2026 Notes is payable quarterly.  The 2026 Notes are scheduled 
to mature on September 30, 2026.  The 2026 Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company and may be 
repaid, without penalty, on any interest payment date on or after September 30, 2021.  The 2026 Notes are intended to 
qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines.

Employment Agreement

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with its Chief Executive Officer that provides for the continuation 
of salary and certain benefits for a specified period of time under certain conditions.  Under the terms of the agreement, 
these payments could occur in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the agreement, along with 
other specific conditions.

2013 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”) authorizes the issuance of up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common 
stock in the form of equity-based awards to employees, directors, and other eligible persons.  Under the terms of the 2013 
Plan, the pool of shares available for issuance may be used for available types of equity awards under the 2013 Plan, 
which includes stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, and other share-based 
awards.  All employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company or any subsidiary, as well as all non-employee directors 
of the Company, are eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Plan.

The Company recorded $0.7 million, $0.8 million, and $0.5 million of share-based compensation expense for the years 
ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively, related to awards made under the 2013 Plan.

(“Directors Deferred Stock Plan”).  The Company reserved 180,000 shares of common stock that could have been issued 
pursuant to the Directors Deferred Stock Plan.  The plan provided directors the option to elect to receive up to 100% of 
their annual retainer in either common stock or deferred stock rights.  Deferred stock rights were to be settled in common 
stock following the end of the deferral period payable on the basis of one share of common stock for each deferred stock 
right.

Note 12:  

Related Party Transactions

In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into transactions with various related parties.  In management’s 
opinion, such loans, other extensions of credit, and deposits were made in the ordinary course of business and were made 
on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable 
transactions with other persons.  Further, in management’s opinion, these loans did not involve more than normal risk of 
collectability or present other unfavorable features.

Management evaluated related party loans and extensions of credit at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and deemed the 
balances immaterial.  Deposits from related parties held by the Company at December 31, 2016 and 2015 totaled $21.9 
million and $9.8 million, respectively.

Note 13:  

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal 
banking agencies.  Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve 
quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting 
practices.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, 
risk weighting and other factors.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in 
period for certain provisions.  Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy 
require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital, 
as defined in the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (“Leverage 
Ratio”).

When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Capital Rules will require the Company and the Bank to maintain: 1) 
a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation 
buffer”  (resulting  in  a  minimum  ratio  of  Common  Equity  Tier 1  capital  to  risk-weighted  assets  of  7.0%  upon  full 
implementation); 2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer 
(resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation); 3) a minimum ratio of Total capital to 
risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5%
upon full implementation); and 4) a minimum Leverage Ratio of 4.0%.

The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will be phased 
in over a four-year period increasing by increments of that amount on each subsequent January 1 until it reaches 2.5%
on January 1, 2019.  The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress.   
Failure to maintain the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio plus the capital conservation buffer will result in potential 
restrictions on a banking institution’s ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation 
to its employees.

Note 15:  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid 
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASU Topic 820 also 
specifies 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.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to 
measure fair value:

Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2  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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value 

of the assets or liabilities

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring 
basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets 
pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation 
hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid mutual funds.  If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values 
are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.

F-33

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Level 2  securities  include  U.S.  Government-sponsored  agencies,  municipal  securities,  mortgage  and  asset-backed 
securities and certain corporate securities.  Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry 
to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but also on 
the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities.

In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.  
Fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows.  Discounted cash flows are calculated based off of the anticipated 
future cash flows updated to incorporate loss severities.  Rating agency and industry research reports as well as default 
and deferral activity are reviewed and incorporated into the calculation.  The Company did not own any securities classified 
within Level 3 of the hierarchy as of December 31, 2016 or 2015.

Loans Held-for-Sale (mandatory pricing agreements)

The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes 
of that loan (Level 2).

Forward Contracts

The fair values of forward contracts on to-be-announced securities are determined using quoted prices in active markets, 
or benchmarked thereto (Level 1).

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

The fair value of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are determined using the projected sale price of individual 
loans based on changes in market interest rates, projected pull-through rates (the probability that an IRLC will ultimately 
result in an originated loan), the reduction in the value of the applicant’s option due to the passage of time, and the 
remaining origination costs to be incurred based on management’s estimate of market costs (Level 3).

The  following  tables  present  the  fair  value  measurements  of  assets  and  liabilities  recognized  in  the  accompanying 
consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in 
which the fair value measurements fall at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The following describes the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring 
basis, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual 
terms are measured for impairment.  The amount of the impairment may be determined based on the fair value of the 
underlying collateral, less costs to sell, the estimated present value of future cash flows or the loan’s observable market 
price. 

F-35

 
  
 
  
 
First Internet Bancorp 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell, is 
used to measure impairment.  This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying 
a discount factor to the value.  If the impaired loan is not collateral dependent, the Company utilizes a discounted cash 
flow analysis to measure impairment.

Impaired loans with a specific valuation allowance based on the value of the underlying collateral or a discounted cash 
flow analysis are classified as Level 3 assets.

There were no impaired loans that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2016 or 2015.

The  following  methods  were  used  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  all  other  financial  instruments  recognized  in  the 
accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For these instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Interest-Bearing Time Deposits

The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.

Held-to-Maturity Securities 

Fair values are determined by using models that are based on security-specific details, as well as relevant industry and 
economic factors.  The most significant of these inputs are quoted market prices, and interest rate spreads on relevant 
benchmark securities.

Loans Held-For-Sale (best efforts pricing agreements)

The fair value of these loans approximates carrying value.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be 
made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis Stock

The fair value approximates carrying value.

Deposits

The  fair  value  of  noninterest-bearing  and  interest-bearing  demand  deposits,  savings  and  money  market  accounts 
approximates carrying value.  The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit and brokered deposits are estimated 
using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank

The fair value of fixed rate advances is estimated using rates currently offered for similar remaining maturities.  The 
carrying value of variable rate advances approximates fair value.

Subordinated Debt

The fair value of the Company’s publicly traded subordinated debt is obtained from quoted market prices.  The fair value 
of  the  Company’s  remaining  subordinated  debt  is  estimated  using  discounted  cash  flow  analysis,  based  on  current 
borrowing rates for similar types of debt instruments.

Accrued Interest Payable

The fair value of these financial instruments approximates carrying value.

Commitments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with 
similar maturities and interest rates.  The Company determined that the fair value of commitments was zero based on the 
contractual value of outstanding commitments at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Note 16:  

Mortgage Banking Activities

The Company’s residential real estate lending business originates mortgage loans for customers and sells a majority of 
the originated loans into the secondary market.  The Company hedges its mortgage banking pipeline by entering into 
forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and entering into interest rate lock 
commitments with potential borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market.  To 
facilitate the hedging of the loans, the Company has elected the fair value option for loans originated and intended for 
sale in the secondary market under mandatory pricing agreements.  Changes in the fair value of loans held-for-sale, interest 
rate lock commitments and forward contracts are recorded in the mortgage banking activities line item within noninterest 
income.  Refer to Note 17 for further information on derivative financial instruments.

Note 17:  

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to help manage exposure to interest rate risk and the effects that 
changes in interest rates may have on net income and the fair value of assets and liabilities.  The Company enters into 
forward contracts for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors and enters into IRLCs with potential 
borrowers to fund specific mortgage loans that will be sold into the secondary market.  The forward contracts are entered 
into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from the Company’s commitment to 
fund the loans. 

Each of these items are considered derivatives, but are not designated as accounting hedges, and are recorded at fair value 
with changes in fair value reflected in noninterest income on the consolidated statements of income.  The fair value of 
derivative instruments with a positive fair value are reported in accrued income and other assets in the consolidated 
balance sheets while derivative instruments with a negative fair value are reported in accrued expenses and other liabilities 
in the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table presents the notional amount and fair value of IRLCs and forward contracts utilized by the Company 
at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Note 18:  

Shareholders’ Equity

In May 2016, the Company and the Bank entered into a Sales Agency Agreement with Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P. 
(“Sandler”) to sell shares (the “ATM Shares”) of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of 
up to $25.0 million, from time to time, through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”).  The 
sales, if any, of the ATM Shares, may be made in sales deemed to be “at-the-market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on or through The NASDAQ Stock Market, 
or another market for the Company’s common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange 
or otherwise, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, or as otherwise 
agreed with Sandler.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agency Agreement, upon its acceptance of written 
instructions from the Company, Sandler will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell on the Company’s behalf all 
of the designated ATM Shares.  The Sales Agency Agreement provides for the Company to pay Sandler a commission of 
up to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold through it as sales agent under the Sales Agency Agreement.  The 
Company may also sell ATM Shares under the Sales Agency Agreement to Sandler, as principal for its own account, at 
a price per share agreed upon at the time of sale. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the 
Company from time to time.  The Company has no obligation to sell any of the ATM Shares under the Sales Agency 
Agreement, and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the Sales Agency Agreement. In addition, the 
Company has agreed to indemnify Sandler against certain liabilities on customary terms.  The Company has sold a total 
of 139,811 ATM Shares through the ATM Program for gross proceeds of approximately $3.4 million.

As of December 31, 2016, approximately $21.6 million remained available for sale under the ATM Program.

In May 2016, the Company and the Bank separately entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Sandler, pursuant to 
which the Company sold an additional 895,955 shares of common stock at $24.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds 
to the Company of $21.5 million.

In December 2016, the Company and the Bank also entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & 
Woods, a Stifel Company, pursuant to which the Company sold 945,000 shares of common stock at $26.50 per share, 
resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $25.0 million.

The net proceeds to the Company from the above offerings after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and 
offering expenses was $46.2 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

Accounting Standards Update (“Update”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (May 2014)

The amendments in this Update clarify the principals for recognizing revenue and develop a common revenue 
standard among industries.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict 
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the 
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The guidance provides steps to follow to 
achieve the core principle.  An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements 
to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with 
customers. 

The entity should apply the amendments using one of two retrospective methods described in the amendment.  
Accounting Standard Update 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) delayed the effective 
date for public entities to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting 
periods within that reporting period.  Several subsequent amendments have been issued that provide clarifying 
guidance and are effective with the adoption of the original Update.  Early adoption is permitted only as of annual 
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting 
period.  The Company is in its preliminary stages of evaluating the impact of these amendments and currently cannot 
reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments as a result of the complexity and extensive 
changes from the amendments.  The Company is expecting to begin developing processes and procedures during 
2017 to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at adoption date.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (February 2016)

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended its standards with respect to the accounting 
for leases. The amended standard serves to replace all current GAAP guidance on this topic and requires that an 
operating lease be recognized by the lessee on the balance sheet as a “right-of-use” asset along with a corresponding 
liability representing the rent obligation. Key aspects of current lessor accounting remain unchanged from existing 
guidance. This standard is expected to result in an increase to assets and liabilities recognized and, therefore, increase 
risk-weighted  assets  for  regulatory  capital  purposes.  The  amended  standard  requires  the  use  of  the  modified 
retrospective transition approach for existing leases that have not expired before the date of initial application and 
will become effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 
2018. Earlier application of the amended standard is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt and 
is currently in the process of fully evaluating the amendments on the consolidated financial statements and will 
subsequently implement updated processes and accounting policies as deemed necessary.  The overall impact of 
the new standard on financial condition, results of operations and regulatory capital cannot yet be determined.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt 
Instruments (March 2016)

The amendments in this Update clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that 
can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An 
entity performing the assessment under the amendments in this Update is required to assess the embedded call (put) 
options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence.  The amendments in this Update clarify what 
steps are required when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call (put) options are clearly 
and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of their debt hosts, which is one of the criteria for 
bifurcating an embedded derivative.  Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity 
does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest 
rates  or  credit  risks.    For  public  business  entities,  the  amendments  in  this  Update  are  effective  for  fiscal  years 
beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be implemented 
using a modified retrospective method.  Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a significant effect on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the 
Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting (March 2016)

The amendments in this Update eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity 
method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust 
the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity 
method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held.  The amendments require 
that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis 
of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment 
becomes qualified for equity method accounting.  Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, 
no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. 

The amendments in this Update require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes 
qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in 
accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method.

For all business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be implemented using the prospective method.  
Adoption  of  this  Update  is  not  expected  to  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial 
statements.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee 
Share-Based Payment Accounting (March 2016)

This Update is part of an initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the “Simplification Initiative”) 
implemented by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to 
identify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or 
improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements.  The areas for simplification 
in this Update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income 
tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash 
flows.  Below is a summary of simplifications for the current GAAP areas contained in this Update.

•  Accounting for Income Taxes: All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of 
dividends on share-based payment awards) should be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the 
income statement.  The tax effects of exercised or vested awards should be treated as discrete items in the 
reporting period in which they occur.  An entity also should recognize excess tax benefits regardless of 
whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period.

•  Classification of Excess Tax Benefits on the Statement of Cash Flows: Excess tax benefits should be 
classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity.

•  Forfeitures: An entity can make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number 
of awards that are expected to vest (current GAAP) or account for forfeitures when they occur.

•  Minimum Statutory Tax Withholding Requirements: The threshold to qualify for equity classification 
permits withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions.

•  Classification of Employee Taxes Paid on the Statement of Cash Flows When an Employer Withholds 
Shares for Tax-Withholding Purposes: Cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-
withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity.

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 
15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax 
benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements and forfeitures should be applied using a 
modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning 
of the period in which the guidance is adopted.  Amendments related to the presentation of employee taxes paid on 
the  statement  of  cash  flows  when  an  employer  withholds  shares  to  meet  the  minimum  statutory  withholding 
requirement should be applied retrospectively.  Amendments requiring recognition of excess tax benefits and tax 
deficiencies in the income statement should be applied prospectively.  An entity may elect to apply the amendments 
related to the presentation of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows using either a prospective transition 
method or a retrospective transition method.  Adoption of this Update is not expected to have a significant effect 
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses 
on Financial Instruments (June 2016)

The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information 
about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting 
entity at each reporting date.  To achieve this objective, the amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss 
impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires 
consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

The amendments affect entities holding financial assets that are not accounted for at fair value through net income.  
The amendments affect loans, debt securities, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and any other financial assets not 
excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.  The amendments in this Update affect an 
entity to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, their duration, and how the 
entity applies current GAAP.  There is diversity in practice in applying the incurred loss methodology, which means 
that before transition some entities may be more aligned, under current GAAP, than others to the new measure of 
expected credit losses.  The following describes the main provisions of this Update.

•  Assets Measured at Amortized Cost: The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a 
group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to 
be collected.  The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized 
cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected 
on the financial asset.  The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized 
financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken 
place during the period.  The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about 
past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts 
that affect the collectability of the reported amount.  An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant 
information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances. 

•  Available-for-Sale Debt Securities: Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be 
recorded through an allowance for credit losses.  Available-for-sale accounting recognizes that value may 
be realized either through collection of contractual cash flows or through sale of the security.  Therefore, 
the amendments limit the amount of the allowance for credit losses to the amount by which fair value is 
below amortized cost because the classification as available-for-sale is premised on an investment strategy 
that recognizes that the investment could be sold at fair value, if cash collection would result in the realization 
of an amount less than fair value.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments in this Update 
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  
All entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  An entity will apply the amendments in this Update 
through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which 
the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach).  A prospective transition approach is required 
for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date.  
The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the 
effective date of this Update. 

The Company does not expect to early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements and cannot determine or reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption 
of the amendments due to the complexity and extensive changes.  The Company is expecting to begin developing 
processes and procedures during the next two years to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at adoption 
date.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts 
and Cash Payments (August 2016)

Stakeholders indicated that there is diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are 
presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other 
Topics.  This Update addresses specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in 
practice.

The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities 
that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230.  The amendments in this Update provide 
guidance on the following specific cash flow issues:

•  Debt  Prepayment  or  Debt  Extinguishment  Costs:  Cash  payments  for  debt  prepayment  or  debt 
extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows from financing activities.

•  Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates 
That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing: At the settlement of zero-
coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation 
to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, the issuer should classify the portion of the cash payment 
attributable to the accreted interest related to the debt discount as cash outflows from operating activities, 
and the portion of the cash payment attributable to the principal as cash outflows for financing activities.

•  Proceeds  from  the  Settlement  of  Insurance  Claims:  Cash  proceeds  received  from  the  settlement  of 
insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage (that is, the nature of 
the loss).  For insurance proceeds that are received in a lump sum settlement, an entity should determine 
the classification on the basis of the nature of each loss included in the settlement.

•  Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned Life 
Insurance Policies: Cash proceeds received from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies 
should  be  classified  as  cash  inflows  from  investing  activities.    The  cash  payments  for  premiums  on 
corporate-owned policies may be classified as cash outflows from investing activities, operating activities, 
or a combination of investing and operating activities.

(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

•  Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle: The classification 
of cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows should be determined 
first by applying specific guidance in GAAP.  In the absence of specific guidance, an entity should determine 
each separately identifiable source or use within the cash receipts and cash payments on the basis of the 
nature of the underlying cash flows.  An entity should then classify each separately identifiable source or 
use within the cash receipts and payments on the basis of their nature in financing, investing, or operating 
activities.  In situations in which cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash 
flows and cannot be separated by source or use, the appropriate classification should depend on the activity 
that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 
15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an 
interim period.  If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected 
as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.  An entity that elects early adoption must 
adopt  all  of  the  amendments  in  the  same  period.    The  amendments  in  this  Update  should  be  applied  using  a 
retrospective  transition  method  to  each  period  presented.    If  it  is  impracticable  to  apply  the  amendments 
retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the 
earliest date practicable.   The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Update on the consolidated 
financial statements, but it is not expected to have a significant effect.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory 
(October 2016)

The FASB decided that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an 
asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.  Consequently, the amendments in this Update eliminate the 
exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory.  The amendments in this Update do not include 
new disclosure requirements; however, existing disclosure requirements might be applicable when accounting for 
the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory.  The amendments 
in this Update align the recognition of income tax consequences for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory 
with International Financial Reporting Standards.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning 
after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods.  Early adoption 
is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim 
or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.  That is, earlier adoption should be in the first interim 
period  if  an  entity  issues  interim  financial  statements. The  amendments  in  this  Update  should  be  applied  on  a 
modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning 
of  the  period  of  adoption.      The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  adopting  this  Update  on  the 
consolidated financial statements, but it is not expected to have a significant effect.

Accounting Standards Update 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments—Equity 
Method  and  Joint  Ventures  (Topic  323):  Amendments  to  SEC  Paragraphs  Pursuant  to  Staff Announcements  at  the 
September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings (January 2017)

The amendments in this Update relate to disclosure of the impact of recently issued accounting standards.  It is the 
SEC staff's view that a registrant should evaluate ASC updates that have not yet been adopted to determine the 
appropriate financial disclosures about the potential material effects of the updates on the financial statements when 
adopted.  If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact of an update, then in addition to 
making a statement to that effect, the registrant should consider additional qualitative financial statement disclosures 
to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact. The staff expects the additional qualitative disclosures 
to include a description of the effect of the accounting policies expected to be applied compared to current account 
policies.   Also,  the  registrant  should  describe  the  status  of  its  process  to  implement  the  new  standards  and  the 
significant implementation matters yet to be addressed.  The Company adopted the amendments in this Update and 
appropriate disclosures have been included in this Note.

Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill 
Impairment (January 2017)

The amendments in this Update are required for public business entities and other entities that have goodwill reported 
in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement 
of goodwill.  

To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the FASB eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment 
test.  In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine 
the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) 
following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed 
in a business combination.  Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or 
interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.  An entity 
should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s 
fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting 
unit.  Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying 
amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Board also eliminated 
the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment 
and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.  Therefore, the same impairment 
assessment applies to all reporting units.  An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each 
reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets.  An entity still has the option to perform the 
qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.

An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis.  An entity is required to disclose the 
nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition.  That disclosure should be provided in 
the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the 
amendments in this Update. A public business entity that is a U.S. SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this 
Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  
Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 
1, 2017.  During the current year, the Company performed its impairment assessment and determined that goodwill 
was not considered impaired.  Although the Company cannot anticipate future goodwill impairment assessments, 
based on the most recent assessment, it is unlikely that an impairment amount would need to be calculated and, 
therefore, does not anticipate the adoption of this Update to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial 
statements.
