Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and the Administrators of the
Northwest Retirement Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Northwest
Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. 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 audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements, referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but
is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This
supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental schedule
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Description of the Plan
|
|
The following description of the Northwest Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only
general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete
description of the Plans provisions.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time and part-time employees
of Northwest Savings Bank (the Company). Employees who are twenty-one or older are
eligible to contribute to the Plan on the first day of the month following completion
of 1,000 hours and six months of service. Participants are eligible to receive
employer matching contributions once they have completed 1,000 hours and one year of
service. A year of service is defined as 12 consecutive months with at least 1,000
hours of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
Each year, participants may voluntarily contribute up to the maximum percentage of
compensation and dollar amount limits as allowed under IRC Section 402(g), not to
exceed certain annual limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service ($15,500
limit in 2007 and $15,000 limit in 2006). Participants of the Plan who are or will be
50 years old by the Plan year-end may elect to defer a catch-up contribution in excess
of this limit. In 2007, the maximum catch-up contribution allowable by the IRS was
$5,000. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other
qualified retirement plans. Participant contributions and investment allocations are
participant directed.
The Company contributes 50% of the first 6% of base compensation that a participant
contributes to the Plan. Company matching contributions are allocated in proportion to
the employees current investment allocation. Additional amounts may be contributed at
the option of the Plans Administrative Committee. To be eligible for the
discretionary contribution, participants must complete 1,000 hours of service during
the Plan Year. No discretionary contributions were made for 2007 or 2006.
Contributions are subject to certain limitations.
Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution,
allocations of the Companys contribution, and Plan earnings. Allocations of earnings
are based on participant account balances. The benefit to which a participant is
entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account.

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings
thereon. Vesting in the Companys matching and discretionary contributions plus
earnings thereon is based on years of continuous service. Effective January 1, 2002,
the vesting schedule is as follows.

Rowe Price Blue Chip Fund shares. Otherwise, no changes have been made to the investment

participant may direct employee contributions in one percentage increments in any of these
eighteen investment options: Vanguard Windsor II Fund, Harbor Capital Appreciation Fund,
Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust Fund, Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund, Vanguard 500
Index Fund, Vanguard Balanced Index Fund, T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund, FPA Capital Long

Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement 2025 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement 2035 Fund, Vanguard
Target Retirement 2045 Fund, Vanguard Target Retirement Income Fund or Northwest Bancorp, Inc
common stock. Between May 1, 2002 and February 23, 2006, participants had the following
investment options: Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund, Vanguard Windsor II Fund, Northwest
Bancorp, Inc. common stock, Vanguard Balanced Index Fund, FPA Capital Long Term Growth Fund,
Vanguard 500 Index Fund, Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund, Artisan International Fund,
Weitz Value Fund, Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust, Franklin Small Cap Growth II Fund, and T.
Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Fund. Prior to May 1, 2002, participants had the following eight
investment options: Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund, Vanguard Windsor II Fund, Northwest
Bancorp, Inc. common stock, Vanguard Balanced Index Fun, FPA Capital Long Term Growth Fund,
Fidelity Institutional Cash Money Market Portfolio, Fidelity Ginnie Mae Fund, and T. Rowe
Price International Stock Fund. Participants are permitted to change investment elections on
a daily basis.
Investments in Northwest Bancorp, Inc. stock are based upon each employees investment
allocation. Purchases of the stock occur when the custodian receives the employee and Company
contributions. These purchases are conducted through a broker at the prevailing market price
of the stock on the exchange in which these shares trade.

December 31, 2007, and 2006
Upon termination of service, permanent disability, retirement, or death, a participant
may receive a lump sum amount equal to the value of the participants vested interest
in their account.
Active participants may apply for a hardship withdrawal for the purchase of the
participants principal residence, to pay tuition, or related post-secondary
educational expenses, to pay certain medical or funeral expenses, or to prevent
eviction from or foreclosure on the participants principal residence. At any time,
active participants may elect to withdraw all or a portion of their rollover or
transfer contributions.

Loans to Participants
|
Participants are permitted to borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up
to a maximum of 50% of vested balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The loans are
secured by the balances in the participants account and bear interest at a fixed rate
of prime plus 1%. All loans are subject to specified repayment terms and must be
repaid within a five-year period. Each participant is granted one loan at a time.
Interest rates at December 31, 2007 ranged from 5.00% to 9.25%.
Forfeited
nonvested account balances are used to reduce employer contributions.
As of December 31, 2007 and 2006 there were no nonvested account
balances and forfeitures used to offset employer contributions were $36,297 and $21,283 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United Sates of Americas requires the Plan Administrator to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
|
The Plans investments are stated at fair value. The Vanguard Retirement Savings Trust is a
common collective trust that is valued based on the net value of the fair value of the
underlying investments at year end as determined by the Company (the
trustee). The underlying investments are primarily in a pool of investment contracts, which
provide for withdrawals at fair value, which approximates contract value. Shares of
registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net
asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Company stock is valued at its quoted
market price. Units of the common collective trust fund are valued at year end.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is
recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Plan presents, in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits, the net
appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized
gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
|
(d)
|
|
Distributions to Participants
|
Distributions to participants are recorded when paid by the trustee.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan
to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the
provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participant accounts will become 100%
vested.
|
(f)
|
|
Administrative Expenses
|
The administrative costs of the Plan are paid by the Company and, as such, are not reflected
as expenses of the Plan.
As described in Financial Accounting Standard Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and
SOP-94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment contracts Held by Certain
Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution
Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP) investment contracts held by a
defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value
is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for
benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment
contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to
initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. For the
2007 and 2006 plan years, the Plan invested in the Vanguard
Retirement Savings Trust, which holds guaranteed investment contracts
which are subject to the FSP. The Plan adopted the financial
statement presentation and disclosure requirements of the FSP
effective December 31, 2006. For the 2007 and 2006 plans year,
adoption of the FSP had an immaterial impact on the statements of net
assets available for benefits as contract value approximated
estimated fair value and had no effect on the statement of changes in
net assets which historically have been presented on a contract value
basis.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
|
In
June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a companys financial
statements and prescribes a recognition threshold of
more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by the
appropriate taxing authority. Measurement of the tax uncertainty
occurs if the recognition threshold has been met. FIN 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. FIN 48
is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31,
2006. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Plans
financial statements.
|
(i)
|
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines
fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, and expands disclosure about fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting standards that require or permit fair
value measurements. Accordingly, it does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods
within those fiscal years. In February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS
157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which defers the effective date of SFAS
No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at
fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until years beginning after
November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years. The Plan has not determined the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 and FSP FAS 157-2.
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure at fair value eligible
financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured
at fair value. SFAS No. 159 requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the
fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No.
159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Plan is currently
assessing the impact the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on the financial position and
results of operations.

|
Risk and Uncertainties
|
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to
various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk
associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that
changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such
changes could materially affect participants account balances and the amounts reported in
the statement of net assets available for benefits.

Dividends and interest on plan investments were $3,769,661 and $2,535,094, respectively, in 2007
and 2006.
(5) Tax Status
A favorable determination letter was received from the Internal Revenue Service on November 24,
1997, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code), and the related trust is exempt from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. Effective January
1, 2002, the Plan was amended and restated through the adoption of a prototype plan. Subsequent to
the adoption of the prototype plan, the Plan was amended to become an individually designed plan.
The Company believes that the Plan currently is designed and being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and that, therefore, the Plan continues to
qualify under section 401(a) and the related trust continues to be tax-exempt as of December 31,
2007. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include a provision for federal
income taxes.
(6) Plan Mergers
During 2006, the Plan Sponsor approved the merger of the Maryland Permanent Bank & Trust 401(K)
Plan into the Plan. The net assets of $238,713 were transferred into the Plan on July 27, 2006.
During 2006, the Plan Sponsor approved the merger of the Horizon Bank, FSB 401(K) Plan into the
Plan. The net assets of $82,600 were transferred into the Plan on March 1, 2006.
(7) Northwest Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Beginning January 1, 2004, certain qualified participants in the Northwest Savings Bank Employee
Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) were eligible to diversify a portion of their Northwest Bancorp, Inc.
holdings in the ESOP. Participants who elect to diversify their portion of their ESOP balance
agree to in-kind transfer that portion of their ESOP balance to the Plan. Following the transfer,
the participants are entitled to reinvest this balance in any of the Plans investment options,
including Northwest Bancorp, Inc. For the year ended December 31, 2007, assets of $170,581 were
transferred from the ESOP to the Plan as part of this diversification plan. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, assets of $201,226 were transferred from the ESOP to the Plan as part of this
diversification plan.

(8) Related Party Transactions
Certain
plan investments consist of shares of Northwest Bancorp, Inc. and
loans to participants which are secured by the balances in the
participant accounts. In addition, expenses of the
Plan are paid by Northwest Savings Bank. Northwest Savings Bank is the Plan Sponsor, and Northwest
Bancorp, Inc. is the Parent Company of the Plan Sponsor; and, therefore, the transactions qualify
as party-in-interest transactions.
(9) Subsequent
Events
Effective
January 1, 2008 the Plan was amended to eliminate the six-month
waiting period for eligible employees to make contributions. The Plan
was also amended effective January 1, 2008 so that all future
employer matching contributions will be made in Northwest Bancorp,
Inc. Stock.
