NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of St. Joseph Capital Corporation, a bank holding company located in Mishawaka, Indiana, (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, St. Joseph Capital Bank (the Bank). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The statements have been prepared by management without an audit by independent certified public accountants. However, these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and disclosures which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the St. Joseph Capital Corporation’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

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

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

NOTE 2 - INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

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

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

•

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

•

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

•

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

Additional information concerning the Company’s business including other factors that could materially affect the Company’s financial results is included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OVERVIEW

The Company was formed in February 1996 for the purpose of organizing the Bank. The Company opened the Bank for business in February 1997 with $10.0 million in assets and has grown to approximately $412.7 million in assets as of March 31, 2005. Management anticipates that, as a result of a modestly growing economy in the Michiana area and the increased asset size of the Company, the growth in assets may continue but the annual percentage growth rate may be lower than what was experienced historically. However, management does expect that the Company’s assets will continue to grow by taking additional market share, expanding into new markets, expanding existing business lines, and as the local economy grows.

The Bank continues to focus on the goals established at its inception. The Bank offers a distinct approach to serving its clients using an operating philosophy that emphasizes integrity in dealing with others, an extraordinary execution of service, and innovation, with technology-driven delivery of products. This approach, along with the management’s strong ties to the Indiana and Michigan communities it serves, has been the foundation of its success in building client relationships and maintaining controlled, profitable growth. This focus allows the Bank to operate in an effective and efficient manner providing exceptional client service yet permitting the Bank to be competitive in the marketplace. The operating philosophy is reflected in the results of the Company’s operations and should be considered as they are analyzed. A consistently low overhead ratio continues to a llow for competitive product pricing and lower service charges for the Bank’s clients. The focus on credit quality is evident as the Bank has not yet experienced a single loan charge-off, which in turn allows for more efficient use of the Company’s resources, including time, dollars, and energy. These established goals have made the Company unique in the marketplace and unique to its clients.

The return on average assets (ROAA) and return on average equity (ROAE) have steadily increased from the inception of the Company. For the first three months of 2005, ROAA and ROAE were at 0.79% and 12.09%, the highest levels experienced by the Company.

Management expects that, over time, the Company’s ROAA and ROAE will continue to improve as the Company’s fixed costs are further leveraged. A consistent philosophy since inception has been the focus on superior asset quality. As a general rule, the most credit worthy borrowers are able to negotiate very favorable pricing terms in the market. Additionally, for strategic reasons, the Bank has retained substantially all of its residential mortgage loans. Again, it is generally accepted that residential mortgage loans are less risky than other types of loans. Therefore, the interest rates on residential mortgages are less than other types of term loans. These two factors have contributed to the superior asset quality record achieved by the Bank but have also resulted in a more modest net interest margin. Partially offsetting the lower net interest margin is the Compa ny’s low overhead ratio (non-interest expense divided by average assets).

Another important aspect of the operating philosophy of the Company is to continue to grow at an appropriate rate resulting in fixed non-interest expense to become a smaller percentage of total assets, which should lead to continued improvement in the ROAA and ROAE. Non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets was 1.63% for the three months ending March 31, 2005 and 1.93% and 2.19% for years ending 2004 and 2003. Management believes that the non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets at March 31, 2005 is among the lowest of any bank in the country.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Company has not substantively changed its overall approach in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. As the Company has matured and economic conditions have changed, the Company has made only minor changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impacted the determination of the March 31, 2005 allowance for loan losses. The Bank has not experienced any charge-offs from loans receivable since inception and at March 31, 2005, no portion of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loan balances, as there were no loans considered impaired.

Based on the policy discussed above, management is of the opinion that the allowance of $3.6 million, which represents 1.23% of total loans, was adequate to absorb estimated loan losses associated with the loan portfolio at March 31, 2005. However, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provision for losses in the future.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the first three-month period of 2005, the Company’s total assets increased from $399.1 million on December 31, 2004 to $412.7 million on March 31, 2005. This represented a total increase in assets of $13.6 million, or 3.4%, during the first three months of 2005.

The Company invested cash and cash equivalents into securities available for sale and loans during the first quarter of 2005, decreasing cash and cash equivalents by $29.2 million, from $45.3 million at December 31, 2004 to $16.2 million at March 31, 2005. The $33.2 million increase in securities available for sale, from $58.2 million at December 31, 2004 to $91.5 million at March 31, 2005 and the $8.0 million increase in loans from $278.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $286.4 million at March 31, 2005, were the most significant changes in the Company’s assets during the quarter.

The allocation of assets from cash and cash equivalents to securities available for sale and loans was expected, as disclosed at the end of 2004. For the second year in a row, there was a delay in the receipt of property tax dollars from taxpayers used to fund Indiana municipalities. Property tax dollars were collected during November and December of 2004 for the entire tax year that was followed by the disbursement of funds to the municipalities. The Bank’s municipal clients began to deposit their funds toward the end of the fourth quarter of 2004. On the last day of the year approximately $25.0 million in deposits were made by municipalities that significantly increased the balance of cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2004. The $25.0 million of institutional funds deposited on the last day of the year along with other funds were ultimately invested in securities availabl e for sale and loans during the first quarter. For 2005, we expect that property tax receipts and the subsequent distribution of funds to municipalities will occur at mid-year and year-end.

The balance of interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions was only $613,000 at March 31, 2005; however, the average balance for the quarter was $19.7 million. This information is intended to highlight the cycle or timing of moving money from interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions to securities available for sale and loans. Please refer to the results of operations section for additional discussion on the net interest income impact from this activity.

The $33.2 million increase in securities available for sale was a significant change in the Company’s assets during the quarter. The growth experienced in securities available for sale was primarily in U.S. government and federal agency securities, from $38.3 million at December 31, 2004 to $66.1 million at March 31, 2005 and obligations of states and political subdivision securities, from $14.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $18.3 million at March 31, 2005. The increase in securities available for sale was a result of the need to deploy funds from cash and cash equivalents due to the deposit growth at the end of 2004 and during the first quarter.

The Company’s loan portfolio increased $8.0 million during the first quarter with little change in the mix of the Company’s loan types since December 31, 2004. The continued significant concentration of the loan portfolio in commercial loans is consistent with the stated strategy of focusing on small to mid-size businesses. Management anticipates this growth will continue as additional relationships are developed as a result of current calling efforts and the addition of new lending personnel. The deposit accounts related to the Bank’s commercial lending business generate the greatest amount of local deposits, and are the primary source of demand deposits.

The quality of the loan portfolio remains strong. The Company has not experienced any charge-offs since inception. Management believes they have instilled a very strong credit culture within the lending department as it pertains to the underwriting and administration processes. Over 89.3% of the loan portfolio consists of loans extended directly to companies and individuals doing business and residing within the Company’s market area or having strong, long-standing ties to management. The remaining portion is comprised of commercial loans participated with certain non-affiliated commercial banks outside of the immediate area, which are underwritten using the same loan underwriting criteria as though the Bank was the originating bank.

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

Premise and equipment increased from $2.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $3.0 million at March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to the accounting guidance on consolidating variable interest entities. As part of the Company’s expansion into Elkhart, Indiana, the Company became a 49.0% owner in a limited liability corporation, Riverfront Partners, LLC (“LLC”), to help ensure that the Company had some level of control over its new location. The other owners, a local development group, own 51.0% of the new location and are responsible for building and managing the property. Due to the nature of the LLC, the accounting guidance classified the LLC as a variable interest entity requiring it to be consolidated into the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s new Elkhart banking center occupies the first floor of a three-story facility and the impact to the Company’s net income will be the profit or loss in the LLC and the allocated expense for the portion of the building the Company occupies. Management believes that the net cost of the new location will not significantly impact the Company’s results in 2005. At March 31, 2005, the premise and equipment amount consolidated for the LLC was $1.6 million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2004. The total cost of the building is expected to be approximately $2.0 million. On April 15, 2005, the new Elkhart banking center opened for business and a grand opening is scheduled for May 18, 2005.

Deposits increased $13.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, totaling $325.9 million, up from $312.7 million at December 31, 2004. Interest bearing deposits increased $31.9 million partially due to non-interest bearing deposits decreasing $18.7 million and moving to interest bearing deposits. As discussed above in cash and cash equivalents, on December 31, 2004, deposits of approximately $25.0 million were made at the end of the day and therefore classified as non-interest bearing. On the next business day, when the funds were collected they became interest bearing. The increase of $13.2 million during the quarter was the result of normal deposit growth.

Federal funds purchased decreased $2.8 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 to a zero balance. Federal funds purchased are used as temporary funding sources by the Bank to meet short-term liquidity needs. The Bank has over $39.0 million in federal funds lines established at correspondent banks. At times, there will be differences between asset growth and the funding that supports this growth. The use of federal funds purchased provides short-term funding for these differences when funding is needed, as was the case at December 31, 2004.

Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLB”) advances were unchanged at $41.7 million as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. Management uses FHLB advances primarily to assist in the overall asset and liability management of the Bank and for general liquidity purposes. As of March 31, 2005, the Company held $3.1 million of FHLB stock.

Securities sold under agreement to repurchase decreased by $2.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005. As part of the Company’s sweep accounts, collected funds from business clients’ noninterest-bearing checking accounts are invested into over-night interest-bearing repurchase agreements. Although not considered a deposit account and therefore not FDIC insured, the repurchase agreements from local corporate clients have historically been a very stable source of funding for the Bank.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview. Consolidated net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005, was $796,000 as compared to $526,000 for the same period in 2004 for an increase of $270,000 or 51.3%. Income per common share for the first three months of 2005 was $.46 basic and $.43 fully-diluted, compared to $.30 basic and $.29 fully-diluted income per common share for the first three months of 2004. The increase in net income in the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period in the prior year was comprised of an increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses of $423,000 and an increase in non-interest income of $39,000. These increases were offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $99,000 and an increase in tax expense of $93,000.

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

Net interest income during the first quarter of 2005 was $2.5 million, an increase of $379,000 or 17.5% over the $2.2 million earned during the same period in 2004. Yields on the Company’s interest-earning assets increased by 49 basis points to 5.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, from 4.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This increase was primarily the result of higher interest rates on existing and new interest-earning assets compared to the same period a year ago. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by 73 basis points during the same period. Due to the more significant increase for the rates paid on the Company’s interest-bearing liabilities compared to the increase on the yield received from the Company’s interest-earning assets, the net interest margin declined 24 basis points from 3.02% at March 31, 2004 to 2.78% at March 31, 2005. ;The increased volume in interest-earning assets can generate more net interest income during a period despite a decreasing margin, as long as the volume variance is greater than the negative rate variance. In the first quarter of 2005, the increase in net interest income of $379,000 over the same period in 2004 was the result of increased volume.

Management believes that the current level of interest rates are significantly driven by external factors and the net interest margin could continue to compress if interest rates overall remain at current levels and the Company continues to grow. In addition, as the Company grows, the additional leveraging of capital increases the percentage of interest-bearing liabilities used to fund the asset growth and in turn reduces the net interest margin. If interest rates remain at their current levels or continue to increase, net interest income can be increased by growth in interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets. Management does expect a rise in short-term interest rates during 2005. Management will continue to optimize the asset mix and add volume to the balance sheet that should allow the Company to increase net interest income in the future. However, market rates at i ntermediate term duration have not increased at the same rate as short-term rates resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. This interest rate environment has limited the ability to increase yields on interest-earning assets.

As previously discussed in the Financial Condition section of this document, the lower margin in the first quarter of 2005 was impacted by the increase in cash and cash equivalents from the institutional funds deposited at the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005. When the Company experiences large deposits from these institutional deposits, the yield on the funds held in overnight investments approximately matches the rate the Company pays on the deposited funds. With little to no spread received on these interest-earning assets, it impacts the Company’s margin negatively. To help manage the impact to the margin, the Company activated limited trust powers in 2004. Corporate agency trust and trust sweep agreements were entered into with certain institutional clients which allows the Company to sweep a portion of an institutional client’s deposit balanc e into the Bank’s trust department. By sweeping funds into the trust department, funds that are required to be held in overnight investments at little to no spread are moved off the Bank’s balance sheet therefore having less of an impact to the Company’s net interest margin. In the future as the Bank needs additional funding to support loan growth, the funds in the trust department can be brought back onto the Bank’s balance sheet at spreads that can positively affect the net interest margin. As this sweep activity between the trust department and Bank is further developed and used by management, it is expected to help reduce the impact on the Company’s margin when we receive these large institutional deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the first quarter of 2005 there was no provision expense reflecting a decrease from the $44,000 expensed during the same period in 2004. Management’s decision not to record any provision expense for the first quarter of 2005 was attributed to the credit quality the Company has experienced since its inception combined with the result of management’s loan loss reserve analysis, which is used in determining the amount of allowance for loan loss required for the loan portfolio. The additional weighting of the Company’s own loan loss experience in the reserve analysis also contributed to the decision to decrease the allowance for loan loss as a percentage of gross loans. The reserve analysis, along with other relevant allowance for loan loss details, is included in the Critical Accounting Policy section located in the document. &nb sp;The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding as of March 31, 2005 was 1.23%, compared to 1.47% at March 31, 2004. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2004 was 1.27%. If the Company’s continued loss experience is similar to the past and the local economy remains stable or improves, it is expected that the reserve analysis will continue to require a smaller allowance for loan loss as a percentage of total loans outstanding.

The Bank has not experienced any charge-offs from loans receivable since inception. At March 31, 2005, no portion of the allowance for loan losses was allocated to impaired loan balances, as there were no loans considered impaired. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2005 was adequate to absorb losses in the loan portfolio, including probable incurred losses due to the current state of the economy. However, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provision for losses in the future.

Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income increased by $39,000 in the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Non-interest income during the first quarter of 2005 consisted primarily of depository account service fees, interchange income on credit cards, and the recording of the increase in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance. Non-interest income for the 2004 period included a net gain on the sale of securities of $77,000, while no securities gains or losses were recorded for the first three months of 2005. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $10,000 for the first three months of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Due to the Company’s operating philosophy, which includes a general aversion to excessive service charges on deposit accounts, disproportionate changes in service charges would not be expected exc ept as a result of continued growth in deposit relationships.

The addition of bank owned life insurance added $91,000 of non-interest income in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. Management anticipates that non-interest income will continue to increase during 2005 primarily from the increased cash surrender value during the year.

Non-interest Expense. The main components of non-interest expense were salaries and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment. Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2005 was $1.7 million as compared to $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $99,000 or 6.3%. While the overhead continues to increase, management continues to be focused on controlling these expenses without impairing the quality of service provided to clients and the expected needs to grow the Company.

Salaries and employee benefits, which are the largest component of non-interest expense, experienced the most significant dollar increase of any non-interest expense component. For the first quarter of 2005, total salaries and employee benefits were $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in employee salaries and benefits was a result of merit increases and the hiring of eleven new employees since March 31, 2004.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $15,000 when comparing the two periods. Monitoring and controlling non-interest costs, while at the same time providing high quality service to clients, is one of management’s top priorities. Management expects some additional increase in occupancy and equipment expense due to the addition of the Elkhart banking center, and additional investing in technology but does not expect it to be significant. The efficiency ratio for the Company at March 31, 2005 was 59.8% compared to 68.4% at March 31, 2004.

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate in during the first quarter of 2005 was 29.0% compared to 30.6% during the same period of 2004 and 34.7% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate during the first quarter of 2005 was the result an increase in the tax exempt interest income from additional purchases of municipal securities, tax exempt non-interest income from bank owned life insurance, and the transfer of most all of the investment securities portfolio to the Bank’s Delaware investment subsidiary reducing the state tax liability from the interest income received at the subsidiary. Management anticipates that these recently implemented tax planning strategies will help maintain the effective tax rate for the remainder of the year at approximately the same level as experienced in the first quarter of 2005.

LIQUIDITY

The Company’s liquidity is measured by the ability to raise funds through deposits, borrowed funds, capital or cash flow from the repayment or maturities of loans and securities and net profits. These monies are used to fund loan requests, meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve requirements, and support operations. Liquidity is primarily achieved through the growth of deposits (both local and out-of-area) and by maintaining liquid assets such as securities available for sale, matured securities, and federal funds sold. Asset and liability management is the process of managing the balance sheet to achieve a mix of earning assets and liabilities in such a way that achieves an interest rate risk profile acceptable to management and assists in achieving a desired level of profitability. An important part of the overall asset and liability management process is providing adequate liquidity. Liquid assets we re $107.6 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $103.6 million at December 31, 2004.

The Company’s liquidity strategy is to fund loan growth with deposits, repurchase agreements, and FHLB advances and to maintain an adequate level of short- and medium-term investments to meet typical daily loan and deposit activity. Deposit and repurchase agreement growth from depositors located in the market area have consistently increased and has been sufficient to meet the loan growth and provide monies for additional investing activities. Management also obtains certificates of deposit from customers outside of the market area and placed by deposit brokers for a fee, as well as certificates of deposit obtained from the deposit owners directly. These funds are used to assist in management’s asset liability planning as well as meeting short term funding needs. As of March 31, 2005, brokered deposits totaled $22.3 million, or 6.7% of combined deposits and repurchase agreements, compared to $50.7 million, or 15.7% of combined deposits and repurchase agreements, as of December 31, 2004. The weighted average months to maturity of the brokered deposits at March 31, 2005 was 12.5 months. The acceptance of brokered deposits is expected to be an ongoing activity due to the Company’s planned future growth and managing a consistent level of deposits.

The Bank has the ability to borrow money on a daily basis through correspondent banks via established federal funds purchased lines; however, this is viewed as only a secondary and temporary source of funds. The average balance of federal funds sold during the three months ended March 31, 2005 equaled $2.2 million, compared to a $1.1 million average federal funds purchased during the same period in 2004.

As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to the FHLB's borrowing programs. Based on ownership of FHLB stock and available collateral at March 31, 2005, the Bank could borrow up to approximately $72.1 million. As of March 31, 2005, $41.7 million in FHLB advances was outstanding. The availability could continue to increase if the loan and investment portfolios grow in the future.

In addition to typical loan funding and deposit flow, the Company must maintain liquidity to meet the demands of certain unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit. As of March 31, 2005, there were a total of $100.4 million in unfunded loan commitments and $4.8 million in unfunded standby letters of credit. Fluctuations in loan balances and commitment levels are monitored, with such data being used in managing overall liquidity.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' equity is a noninterest-bearing source of funds that provides support for asset growth. Shareholders' equity decreased by $14,000 during the first three months of 2005, from $26.532 million at December 31, 2004, to $26.518 million at March 31, 2005. The decrease was attributable to the $845,000 non-cash increase in the unrealized losses on available for sale securities as defined in SFAS No. 115 along with the $87,000 paid in cash dividends to shareholders. However, the decrease was significantly offset by net income of $796,000 recorded during the first three months of 2005 and from $122,000 of proceeds from the Company’s stock option plan. The unrealized loss on the available for sale securities was the result of rising interest rates during the first quarter of 2005. If these securities are held to final maturity they will mature at their par value.

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

The components of total risk-based capital are Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital is total shareholders’ equity less intangible assets plus qualifying trust preferred securities. Tier 2 capital is Tier 1 capital plus a portion of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is includable in Tier 2 capital up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities available for sale, net of tax, is not considered in meeting regulatory capital requirements. The following table provides the minimum regulatory capital requirements and the actual capital ratios at March 31, 2004:

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

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

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

MANAGEMENT OF INTEREST SENSITIVITY

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

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

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

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

Management conducted multiple simulations as of March 31, 2005, during which it was assumed that a simultaneous, instant and sustained change in market interest rates occurred. Results of the simulation suggest that the Company could expect net interest income to increase by approximately $112,000 if interest rates gradually decline by 100 basis points over the next twelve months, and to decrease approximately $142,000 if interest rates gradually increase 100 basis points over the next twelve months, from forecast levels of net interest income absent any changes in rates. These variances in net interest income were within the Company’s policy parameters established to manage interest rate risk. Other simulations are run quarterly looking at changes to net interest income given 200 and 300 basis point changes in interest rates.

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

Results of the economic value of equity analysis done as of March 31, 2005, suggest that the Company could expect the value of its equity to decrease 1.98% and 3.94%, if there was an immediate interest rate shift upward of 100 and 200 basis points and to increase 1.92% and 3.71%, if there was an immediate interest rate shift downward of 100 and 200 basis points. Management believes the different scenarios indicate a financial services organization that has relatively low overall interest rate risk.

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

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

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

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Effective April 11, 2005, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System amended the risk-based capital standards for bank holding companies to allow the continued inclusion of outstanding and prospective issuances of trust preferred securities in the tier 1 capital of bank holding companies, subject to stricter standards. The new regulations limit the amount of trust preferred securities (combined with all other restricted core capital elements) that a bank holding company may include as tier 1 capital to 25% of the sum of all core capital elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax liability. Amounts in excess of the limits described above generally may be included in tier 2 capital. The regulations also provide a transition period for bank holding companies to conform their capital structures to the revised quantitative limits. These limits will first become applicable to bank holding com panies beginning on March 31, 2009.
