We are engaged in the mortgage banking, commercial banking, home equity lending, commercial finance and venture capital lines of business. Our direct and indirect subsidiaries include Irwin Mortgage Corporation, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., Irwin Home Equity Corporation, Irwin Commercial Finance Corporation and Irwin Ventures, LLC. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The Corporation does not meet the criteria as primary beneficiary for our wholly-owned trusts holding our company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities established by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. As a result, these trusts are not consolidated.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Residual Interests: Residual interests are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. Until we ceased using gain on sale accounting after the first quarter of 2002, whenever we sold receivables in securitizations of home equity loans and lines of credit, we retained residual interests, one or more subordinated tranches, and in some cases a cash reserve account, all of which are retained interests in the securitized receivables. Gain or loss on the sale of the loans depended, in part, on the previous carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair value at the date of transfer.
To obtain fair value of residual interests, quoted market prices are used if available. However, quotes are generally not available for residual interests, so we generally estimate fair value based on the present value of expected cash flows using estimates of the key assumptions prepayment speeds, credit losses, forward yield curves, and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved that management believes market participants would use to value similar assets. Adjustments to carrying values are recorded as trading gains or losses.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Defined: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider cash and due from banks and federal funds sold to be cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Employee Compensation: We have two stock-based employee compensation plans. We use the intrinsic value method to account for our plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for any of the periods presented, as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. To date, the Board of Directors has not chosen to expense stock options. The Board wishes to analyze new guidance from the FASB, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other relevant authorities regarding the standardization of valuation methods. Accordingly, we will begin expensing options when the new requirements become effective. We will continue to disclose the impact of expensing stock options, using our valuation method, which is based on a Black-Scholes model using assumptions management believes to be reasonable. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:

Recent Accounting Developments: We adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities as of December 31, 2003 and as a result, deconsolidated IFC Capital Trust II, IFC Capital Trust III, IFC Capital Trust IV, IFC Capital Trust V, IFC Capital Trust VI, and IFC Statutory Trust VII (IFC Trusts). The sole assets of the IFC Trusts are subordinated debentures of Irwin Financial Corporation. The IFC Trusts liabilities are represented by Trust Preferred Securities, which have previously been listed as Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of subsidiary trusts on our consolidated balance sheets. Under FIN 46, the subordinated debentures, which are substantially equal in amount to the Trust Preferred Securities, cease to be eliminated in consolidation and are included in other long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2004. Details about the IFC Trusts and debentures can be found in Note 7, Other Long-Term Debt. The Trust Preferred Securities currently qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital. In May 2004, the Federal Reserve Bank issued proposed rules that retain Tier 1 capital treatment of Trust Preferred Securities for bank holding companies.
In March 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105 (SAB 105), Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments. This staff bulletin is effective for interest rate locks entered into or substantially modified on or after April 1, 2004. This bulletin and subsequent interpretations impacted the manner in which we account for interest rate lock commitments. The effect of implementation was a deferral of $2.2 million of pre-tax earnings this quarter related to built in pricing gains. Built in pricing gain earnings will now be recognized when our mortgage line of business sells or securitizes loans rather than when it enters into interest rate locks.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 2003 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation. These changes had no impact on previously reported net income or shareholders equity.

Note 4 - Servicing Assets
Included on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are $397.8 million and $380.1 million, respectively, of capitalized servicing assets. These amounts relate to the mortgage and home equity loans serviced by us for investors. Changes in our capitalized servicing assets, net of valuation allowance, are shown below:

(1) Other than temporary impairment was recorded to reflect our view that the originally recorded value of certain servicing rights and subsequent impairment associated with those rights is unlikely to be recovered in market value. There was no related direct impact on net income as this other than temporary impairment affected only balance sheet accounts. However, the write-down will result in a reduction of amortization expense and potentially reduced recovery of impairment in future periods.

Drafts payable related to mortgage loan closings are related to mortgage closings that have not been presented to the banks for payment. When presented for payment, these borrowings will be funded internally or by borrowing from the lines of credit.
12
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are collateralized by loans and loans held for sale.
We have lines of credit available to fund loan originations and operations with variable rates ranging from 1.6% to 3.3% at June 30, 2004.
Note 6 Collateralized Debt
We pledge or sell loans structured as secured financings at our home equity and commercial finance lines of business. Sale treatment is precluded on these transactions because we fail the true-sale requirements of SFAS 140 as we maintain effective control over the loans and leases securitized. This type of structure results in cash being received, debt being recorded, and the establishment of an allowance for credit losses. The notes associated with these transactions are collateralized by $0.3 billion in home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, and leases. The principal and interest on these debt securities are paid using the cash flows from the underlying loans and leases. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on these debt securities is dependent on the payments received on the underlying collateral. The interest rates on the bonds are at a floating rate. We have an interest only senior note on the securitization at the home equity lending line of business that as of June 30, 2004 had a notional balance of $30.5 million (which does not represent the amount at risk), pays interest at 10%, and matures on September 25, 2005. The 2002-1 asset backed structure was sold during the second quarter resulting in the recognition of a $2.5 million gain and the removal of $205 million of loans from our balance sheet.

Note 7 -Other Long-Term Debt
At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 we had $270 million of other long-term debt. Included in both years is $30 million of subordinated debt with an interest rate of 7.58% and a maturity date of July 2014, as well as a mortgage note outstanding for $0.1 million with an interest rate of 8.50% and a maturity date of April 2008.
We also have obligations represented by subordinated debentures at June 30, 2004 of $240 million. These securities were issued by wholly-owned trusts of Irwin Financial Corporation that were created for the purpose of issuing cumulative trust preferred securities. In accordance with FIN 46 we are no longer consolidating these trusts. Refer to Note 1 for information regarding the accounting change for these securities implemented in 2003. These debentures are the sole assets of these trusts as of June 30, 2004.

All debentures and securities are callable at par after five years from origination date. The securities are all Tier 1 qualifying capital at June 30, 2004. Highlights about these debentures and the related trusts are listed below:

Note 10 Industry Segment Information
We have five principal segments that provide a broad range of financial services. The mortgage banking line of business originates, sells, and services residential first mortgage loans. The commercial banking line of business provides commercial banking services. The home equity lending line of business originates, sells and services home equity loans and lines of credit. The commercial finance line of business originates leases and loans against commercial equipment and real estate. The venture capital line of business invests in early-stage technology companies focusing on financial services. Our other segment primarily includes the parent company and eliminations.
The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Below is a summary of each segments revenues, net income, and assets for three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, and 2003:

Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies
Our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation, is a defendant in a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, filed in April 1996, alleging that Irwin Mortgage violated the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) relating to Irwin Mortgages payment of broker fees to mortgage brokers. In June 2001, the Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld the district courts certification of a plaintiff class and the case was remanded for further proceedings in the federal district court.
In November 2001, by order of the district court, the parties filed supplemental briefs analyzing the impact of an October 18, 2001 policy statement issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that explicitly disagreed with the judicial interpretation of RESPA by the Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in its ruling upholding class certification in this case. In response to a motion from Irwin Mortgage, in March 2002, the district court granted Irwin Mortgages motion to stay proceedings in this case until the 11th Circuit decided the three other RESPA cases originally argued before it with this case.
The 11th Circuit subsequently decided all of the RESPA cases pending in that court. In one of those cases, the 11th Circuit concluded that the trial court had abused its discretion in certifying a class action under RESPA. Further, in that decision, the 11th Circuit expressly recognized it was, in effect, overruling its previous decision upholding class certification in our case. In March 2003, Irwin Mortgage filed a motion to decertify the class and the plaintiffs filed a renewed motion for summary judgment. On October 2, 2003 the case was reassigned to another U.S. district court judge. In response to an order from the court, the parties met and submitted a joint status report at the end of October 2003. On June 14, 2004, at the courts request, the parties engaged in mediation, which was unsuccessful. The court then reassigned this case to a new judge.
If the class is not decertified and the district court finds that Irwin Mortgage violated RESPA, Irwin Mortgage could be liable for damages equal to three times the amount of that portion of payments made to the mortgage brokers that is ruled unlawful. Based on notices sent by the plaintiffs to date to potential class members and additional notices that might be sent in this case, we believe the class is not likely to exceed 32,000 borrowers who meet the class specifications.
As discussed in prior periodic reports, other cases filed against our mortgage subsidiary alleging RESPA and violations similar to those in this case were settled in 2003 for nonmaterial amounts. Irwin Mortgage intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously and believes it has numerous defenses to the alleged violations. Irwin Mortgage further believes that the 11th Circuits RESPA rulings in the cases argued before it with this one provide grounds for reversal of the class certification in this case. We have no assurance, however, that Irwin Mortgage will be successful in defeating class certification or will ultimately prevail on the merits. However, we expect that an adverse outcome in this case could result in substantial monetary damages that could be material to our financial position. We have not established any reserves for this case and are unable at this stage of the litigation to form a reasonable estimate of potential loss that we could suffer.
In January 2001, we and Irwin Leasing Corporation (formerly Affiliated Capital Corp.), our indirect subsidiary, and Irwin Equipment Finance Corporation, our direct subsidiary (together, the Irwin companies), were served as defendants in an action filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The suit alleges that a manufacturer/importer of certain medical devices made misrepresentations to health care professionals and to government officials to improperly obtain Medicare reimbursement for treatments using the devices, and that the Irwin companies, through Affiliated Capitals financing activities, aided in making the alleged misrepresentations. The Irwin companies filed a motion to dismiss on February 12, 2001. On August 10, 2001, the court granted our motion in part by dismissing Irwin Financial and Irwin Equipment Finance as defendants in the suit. In June, 2003, Irwin Leasing filed a motion for summary judgment. Oral argument was held on August 27, 2003. On October 8, 2003, the court granted Irwin Leasings motion for summary judgment, dismissing the plaintiffs complaint. On October 22, 2003, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The appeals court has tentatively scheduled consideration of the appeal during the week of September 27, 2004. We cannot predict whether we will prevail on appeal and have not established any reserves for this case.
Our subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, is a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in Massachusetts in July 2001. The case involves loans purchased by Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company from an unaffiliated third-party originator. The plaintiffs allege a failure to comply with certain disclosure provisions of the Truth in Lending Act relating to
17
high rate loans in making second mortgage home equity loans to the plaintiff borrowers. The complaint seeks rescission of the loans and other damages.
A limited class was certified. As originally specified, the plaintiff class included those borrowers who obtained a mortgage loan originated by the third-party originator with prepayment penalty provisions during the three-year period prior to the filing of the suit. Subsequently, the court further restricted the class to those borrowers with high-rate loans subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act who refinanced their loans and paid a prepayment penalty. A preliminary analysis led us to conclude that fewer than 100 loans qualified for class membership.
In June 2004, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter for a nonmaterial amount, which has been reserved. The settlement is contingent upon the negotiation of a final settlement agreement and is subject to the approval of the district court.
Our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation, is a defendant in a case filed in August 1998 in the Baltimore, Maryland, City Circuit Court. On January 25, 2002, a jury in this case awarded the plaintiffs damages of $1.434 million jointly and severally against defendants, including Irwin Mortgage. The nine plaintiff borrowers alleged that a home rehabilitation company defrauded the plaintiffs by selling them defective homes at inflated prices and that Irwin Mortgage, which provided the plaintiff borrowers mortgage loans on the home purchases, participated in the fraud. Irwin Mortgage filed an appeal with the Maryland Court of Special Appeals and oral argument was held on January 7, 2003. On February 27, 2004, the Court of Special Appeals ruled against Irwin Mortgage and remanded the case to the trial court for a partial retrial on whether the plaintiffs are entitled to punitive damages. On April 12, 2004, Irwin Mortgage filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Maryland Court of Appeals, seeking further review. The Court of Appeals accepted the appeal on all issues on June 11, 2004. We have reserved for this case based upon the advice of our legal counsel.
In April 2003, our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation, was named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the Marion County, Indiana, Superior Court. The complaint alleges that Irwin Mortgage charged a document preparation fee in violation of Indiana law for services performed by clerical personnel in completing legal documents related to mortgage loans. Irwin Mortgage filed an answer on June 11, 2003 and a motion for summary judgment on October 27, 2003. On November 3, 2003, the court ruled that a determination on class certification would precede any action on Irwin Mortgages summary judgment motion. On March 15, 2004, the court held a hearing on plaintiffs motion for class certification and certified a class on June 18, 2004 consisting of Indiana borrowers who were allegedly charged the fee by Irwin Mortgage any time after April 17, 1997. We are unable at this time to form a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss, if any, that Irwin Mortgage could suffer. We have not established any reserves for this case.
In April 2003, our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation, was named as a defendant in an action filed in the District Court of Nueces County, Texas. The complaint alleges that Irwin Mortgage improperly charged borrowers fees for the services of third-party vendors in excess of Irwin Mortgages costs, and charged certain fees to which plaintiffs did not agree. The plaintiffs are seeking to certify a class consisting of similarly situated borrowers. Irwin Mortgage filed an answer on July 11, 2003 and responded to plaintiffs initial discovery requests on December 19, 2003. On February 25, 2004, Irwin Mortgage served its initial discovery requests to the plaintiffs. Discovery is continuing. Because the case is in the early stages of litigation, we are unable at this time to form a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss, if any, that Irwin Mortgage could suffer. We have not established any reserves for this case.
In October 2003, our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation (formerly Inland Mortgage Corporation), was named as a defendant, along with others, in an action filed in the Supreme Court of New York, County of Kings. The plaintiffs, a mother and two children, allege they were injured from lead contamination while living in premises allegedly owned by the defendants. The suit seeks approximately $41 million in damages and alleges negligence, breach of implied warranty of habitability and fitness for intended use, loss of services and the cost of medical treatment. Because the case is in the early stages of litigation, we are unable at this time to form a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss, if any, that Irwin Mortgage could suffer. The parties agreed to delay the filing of an answer in this case until July 30, 2004. We are attempting to obtain a voluntary dismissal based on our belief that there is insufficient nexus between the cause of the alleged injuries and Irwin Mortgage. We have not established any reserves for this case.
We and our subsidiaries are from time to time engaged in various matters of litigation, including the matters described above, other assertions of improper or fraudulent loan practices or lending violations, and other matters, and we have a number of unresolved
18
claims pending. In addition, as part of the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are parties to litigation involving claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts, the collection of delinquent accounts, challenges to security interests in collateral, and foreclosure interests, that is incidental to our regular business activities. While the ultimate liability with respect to these other litigation matters and claims cannot be determined at this time, we believe that damages, if any, and other amounts relating to pending matters are not likely to be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations, except as described above. Reserves are established for these various matters of litigation, when appropriate, based upon the advice of legal counsel.

We recorded net income of $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, up 36% from net income of $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Net income per share (diluted) was $0.60 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, up 33% from $0.45 per share for the second quarter of 2003. Return on equity was 15.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 14.2% for the same period in 2003.
For the year to date, we recorded net income of $38.3 million or $1.27 per diluted share. This represents increases of 53% and 48%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2003. Return on equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 was 15.8% compared with 13.7% during the same period a year earlier.
Consolidated Income Statement Analysis
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $123.5 million, down 9% from the first half of 2003 net interest income of $136.4 million. Net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 5.60% compared to 5.98% for the same period in 2003. The decline in margin from 2003 to 2004 was primarily due to the lower interest rate environment in 2004 relative to 2003 that caused yields on variable rate loans to decline at a more rapid pace than underlying funding sources, some of which (e.g., mortgage escrow deposits) have rates close to zero in any interest rate environment and, therefore, cannot reduce in a declining rate environment. In addition, the average balance on the high-yielding residual interests declined 46% in the first half of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 as a result of unrealized trading losses (reflecting valuation impairment) during the first half of 2003.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The consolidated provision for loan and lease losses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $1.8 million, compared to $13.6 million for the same period in 2003. Year to date, the provision for 2004 was $9.9 million, compared to $22.9 million in 2003. More information on this subject is contained in the section on credit risk.
21
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income during the three months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $76.1 million, compared to $63.5 million for the same period of 2003. Noninterest income of $158.6 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and $126.3 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in 2004 versus 2003 was a result of several factors. At the home equity lending line of business, we experienced a $11.3 million recovery in the value of our residual interests during the first half of 2004 versus residual impairment of $50.9 million that was experienced during the same period in 2003. At the mortgage banking line of business, we experienced recovery of net impairment of servicing assets in 2004 versus impairment, net of derivative gains, in 2003. This was offset by lower gains from the sale of loans during 2004. Details related to these fluctuations are discussed later in the mortgage banking and home equity lending sections of this document.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $107.9 million and $208.3 million, respectively, compared to $100.5 million and $199.3 million for the same periods in 2003. The increase in consolidated noninterest expense in 2004 is primarily related to foreign currency transaction gains/losses offset somewhat by lower personnel costs associated with our decreased production at the mortgage banking line of business.
Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis
Average assets for the first six months of 2004 were $5.1 billion, down 2% from the average assets at December 31, 2003. The decline in the consolidated average balance sheet primarily relates to a decrease in loans held for sale at the mortgage banking line of business as a result of declining production. Total assets at June 30, 2004 were $5.4 billion, up 9% from December 31, 2003.
Loans Held For Sale
Loans held for sale totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2004, an increase from a balance of $0.9 billion at December 31, 2003. The increase occurred primarily at our home equity lending line of business where loans held for sale increased from $0.2 billion at December 31, 2003 to $0.5 billion at June 30, 2004.
Loans and Leases
Our commercial loans and leases are originated throughout the United States. Equipment loans and leases are also originated in Canada by our commercial finance line of business. At June 30, 2004, 94% of our loan and lease portfolio was associated with our U.S. operations. We also extend credit to consumers throughout the United States through mortgages, installment loans and revolving credit arrangements. The majority of the remaining portfolio consists of residential mortgage loans (1-4 family dwellings) and mortgage loans on commercial property.

Included in the 2004 provision for loan and lease losses is the reversal of $6.3 million of allowance related to the sale of portfolio loans associated with a secured financing transaction at our home equity lending line of business. Prior to transferring these loans to loans held for sale, we recorded this negative provision to appropriately reflect the net loans at fair value. When we transferred the loans to loans held for sale, we also transferred the remaining $7.2 million of related allowance to a lower of cost or market valuation allowance included in loans held for sale.

Deposits
Total deposits as of June 30, 2004 averaged $3.2 billion compared to deposits at December 31, 2003 that averaged $3.1 billion for the year. Demand deposits at June 30, 2004 averaged $1.0 billion, a 4% decrease over the average balance for the year 2003. A significant portion of demand deposits is related to deposits at Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, which are associated with escrow accounts held on loans in the servicing portfolio at the mortgage banking line of business. During the first six months of 2004, these escrow accounts averaged $751.6 million compared to an average of $826.2 million for the year 2003. The decrease in average escrow balances in 2004 relates to the decline in production at the mortgage banking line of business. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in core deposits. Core deposits, which include deposits less jumbo and brokered CDs and public funds, increased to $2.1 billion at June 30, 2004 compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2003.
Irwin Union Bank and Trust utilizes institutional broker-sourced deposits as funding to supplement deposits solicited through branches and other wholesale funding sources. At June 30, 2004, institutional broker-sourced deposits totaled $354.1 million compared to a balance of $339.4 million at December 31, 2003.
Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings increased to $655.9 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $429.8 million at December 31, 2003. The increase in short-term borrowings at the end of the second quarter relative to year-end reflects the higher level of loans held for sale at the home equity lending line of business at the end of the second quarter.
23
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings averaged $182.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2004, with an average rate of 1.33%. The maximum outstanding during any month end was the ending balance of $536.3 million at a rate of 1.33%. At December 31, 2003, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings averaged $317.2 million, with an average rate of 1.46%. The ending balance was $286.0 million at an interest rate of 1.34%. The maximum outstanding at any month end during 2003 was $977.0 million.
Collateralized and Other Long-Term Debt
Collateralized borrowings totaled $292.5 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $590.1 million at December 31, 2003. These securitization structures result in loans remaining as assets and debt being recorded on the balance sheet. The securitization debt represents match-term funding for these loans and leases. The decreased debt relates to the sale of portfolio loans at the home equity lending line of business during the second quarter discussed in more detail in the Home Equity Lending section of this document.
Other long-term debt totaled $270.2 million at June 30, 2004, unchanged from December 31, 2003. We had obligations represented by subordinated debentures at June 30, 2004 totaling $240.1 million with our wholly-owned trusts that were created for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The subordinated debentures were the sole assets of the trusts at June 30, 2004. In accordance with FIN 46, at the end of 2003 we began deconsolidating the wholly-owned trusts that issued the trust preferred securities. As a result, these securities no longer are consolidated on our balance sheet. Instead, the subordinated debentures held by the trusts are disclosed on the balance sheet as other long-term debt.
Capital
Shareholders equity averaged $486.7 million during the first six months of 2004, up 23% compared to the average for the year 2003. Shareholders equity balance of $469.5 million at June 30, 2004 represented $16.60 per common share, compared to $15.36 per common share at December 31, 2003. We paid $2.3 million and $4.5 million in dividends for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, reflecting an increase of $0.01 per share compared to a year ago.

At June 30, 2004, our total risk-adjusted capital ratio was 14.8% exceeding the 10.0% required to be considered well-capitalized by our state and federal banking regulators and our internal minimum target of 11.0%. At December 31, 2003, our total risk-adjusted capital ratio was 15.1%. Our ending equity to assets ratio at June 30, 2004 was 8.7% unchanged from December 31, 2003. Our Tier 1 capital totaled $614.0 million as of June 30, 2004, or 11.7% of risk-weighted assets.
Cash Flow Analysis
Our cash and cash equivalents increased $8.4 million during the first six months of 2004, compared to $21.3 million during the same period in 2003. Cash flows from operating activities resulted in a use of $281.3 million in cash and cash equivalents in the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 when our operations used $318.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. Changes in loans held for sale impact cash flows from operations. In a period in which loan production exceeds sales such as we had in the first half of 2004, operating cash flows will decrease reflecting our investment in cash generating assets. In the first half of 2004, our loans held for sale increased $312.2 million, thus increasing the cash used by operating activities.

Earnings Outlook
We have not provided quantitative earnings guidance for 2004. As discussed before, our strategy is to balance the impact of changes in interest rates and economic conditions on our mortgage banking production with investments in mortgage servicing and in our credit retained portfolios. These investments will typically respond in an opposite and complementary manner. We expect a higher proportion of 2004 earnings to come from our commercial banking, home equity lending and commercial finance lines of business than was the case in 2003. We expect segment growth and earnings to be more in line with the long-term trends we have seen at Irwin Financial, rather than the disproportionate contribution that we had due to mortgage originations during 2002 and 2003. In the second half of 2004, if rates rise as predicted by nationally-recognized mortgage economists, leading to an increase in the value of our servicing portfolio and improved margins in our commercial and consumer portfolios, we would expect full year earnings to modestly exceed those produced in 2003. However, should long-term rates not rise as expected, we would anticipate continued price competition in the mortgage market, but little or no increase in servicing value. In this case, we would anticipate that portfolio loan growth and improving credit quality would likely produce earnings for the year in a narrow range around those produced in 2003 during the mortgage refinance boom, notwithstanding the difficult environment for mortgage banking. These estimates are based on various factors and current assumptions management believes are reasonable, including current industry forecasts of a variety of economic and competitive factors. However, projections are inherently uncertain, and our actual earnings may differ significantly from this estimate due to uncertainties and risks related to our business such as fluctuations in interest rates and other factors mentioned above in the About Forward-Looking Statements section. Over periods of normal economic cycles we strive to meet or exceed our long-term targets of double digit growth in earnings per share and a return on equity above our cost of capital.
A meaningful amount of our earnings comes from activities and mark-to-market accounting requirements tied directly or indirectly to capital market activities. For example, the valuation of our mortgage servicing portfolio is impacted by movements in the bond market. The impact of short-term movements in interest rates on the valuation of our mortgage servicing rights is mitigated by a combination of financial derivatives and changes in income from production of new mortgages likely to be driven by those same movements in interest rates. However, the correlation within short periods of time (such as a single quarter) between interest rate movements that impact the reported value of our mortgage servicing rights at quarter end and the production effects of those interest rate movements which may not be reflected until the subsequent quarter can be low. In addition, Accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) imposes a lower-of-cost-or-market valuation cap on the value of our servicing asset, while we know of no financial derivatives available in the secondary market with similarly asymmetric value change characteristics. This anomaly in accounting for mortgage servicing assets makes it difficult at times to construct hedges with the desired GAAP accounting outcome, although the economic balance may still exist. It is possible, therefore, that our balanced revenue strategy may be successful as measured over several quarters or years, but may have market-based variances if measured over short periods. We also have a large amount of income that is subject to assumptions and pricing for credit risks. We use a variety of methods for estimating the effects of and accounting for credit losses, but ultimately, we need to make estimates based on imperfect knowledge of future events, which may cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. For example, if the pace of economic recovery in the U.S. is slower in 2004 than currently anticipated by consensus estimates, our credit related costs may increase beyond our current estimates.

Overview
In our mortgage banking line of business, we originate, purchase, sell and service conventional and government agency-backed residential mortgage loans throughout the United States. We also engage in the business of mortgage reinsurance. Because most of our mortgage originations either are insured by an agency of the federal government, such as the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the Veterans Administration (VA), or, in the case of conventional mortgages, meet requirements for sale to the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) or the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), we are able to remove substantially all of the credit risk associated with these loans from our balance sheet. While we securitize and sell mortgage loans to institutional and private investors, we may choose to retain the servicing rights. Loan origination demand and servicing values react in opposite directions to changes in interest rates, as explained below. We believe this balance between mortgage loan originations and mortgage loan servicing values assists in managing the risk from interest rate changes, which has helped stabilize our revenue stream.
Our channels for originating loans consist primarily of retail, wholesale, and correspondent lending. The retail channel originates loans through retail branches and identifies potential borrowers mainly through relationships maintained with housing intermediaries, such as realtors, homebuilders and brokers. Our wholesale and correspondent divisions purchase loans from third party sources. The wholesale division purchases primarily from mortgage loan brokers and issues loan proceeds directly to the borrower. The correspondent lending division purchases closed mortgage loans primarily from small mortgage banks and retail banks. We fund our mortgage loan originations using internal funding sources and through credit facilities provided by third parties. Generally within a 30-day period after funding, we sell our mortgage loan originations into the secondary mortgage market by either direct loan sales or by securitization. Our secondary market sources include government-sponsored mortgage entities, nationally-sponsored mortgage conduits, and institutional and private investors.
26
As mentioned, we believe there is a balance between mortgage loan originations and mortgage loan servicing that assists in managing the risk from interest rate changes and the impact of rate changes on each part of the business. In rising interest rate environments, originations typically decline, while the value of our mortgage servicing portfolio generally increases as prepayment expectations decline. In declining interest rate environments, servicing values typically decrease as prepayment expectations increase, while the economic value of our mortgage production franchise generally increases due to the potential for greater mortgage loan originations. However, the offsetting impact of changes in production income and servicing values may not always be recognized in the same quarter under generally accepted accounting principles due to the application of lower-of-cost-or-market treatment under generally accepted accounting principles to the mortgage servicing asset, with no accounting equivalent for the production franchise causing greater volatility in short-term results than is apparent in longer-term measurements such as annual income. We sell servicing rights periodically for many reasons, including income recognition, cash flow, capital management and servicing portfolio management. Servicing rights sales occur at the time the underlying loans are sold to an investor (in flow sales) or in pools from our seasoned servicing portfolio (in bulk sales). As interest rates have risen over the past six months, we have chosen to sell the servicing asset associated with a relatively higher percentage of our current originations due to the changed interest rate risk and expected total return profile of owning servicing on loans with current interest rates, as opposed to our actions over the past several years to add to the portfolio as rates reached historic lows.
Net Income
Net income from mortgage banking for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $5.5 million, compared to $23.2 million for the same period in 2003, a decrease of 76%. This net income decrease in 2004 primarily relates to a decline in mortgage originations and compressed margins as a result of an increasing interest rate environment that began in the latter half of 2003.
The following table shows the composition of our originations by loan categories for the periods indicated:

Mortgage loan originations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $3.7 billion, down 48% from the same period in 2003. For the year, originations totaled $6.7 billion, down 48% from 2003. Refinanced loans accounted for 54% of loan production for the second quarter of 2004 and 57% year to date compared to 75% and 73%, respectively, for the same periods in 2003. The decreased originations and refinances as a percent of production in 2004 are a result of the increasing interest rate environment that began in the latter half of 2003.

Net interest income is generated from the interest earned on mortgage loans before they are sold to investors, less the interest expense incurred on borrowings to fund the loans. Net interest income for the second quarter in 2004 totaled $11.8, million compared to $20.9 million for the second quarter in 2003. Net interest income year to date decreased 45% to $20.4 million. The decrease in net interest income in 2004 is a result of decreased production resulting in a lower average balance of mortgage loans held for sale on our balance sheet during the quarter.
Gain on sale of loans includes the valuation of newly-created mortgage servicing rights and net loan origination fees and is recognized when loans are pooled and sold into the secondary mortgage market. Also included in gain on sale of loans are changes in fair value of forward contracts and interest rate lock commitments. Gain on sale of loans for the three months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $34.9 million, compared to $111.5 million for the same period in 2003, a decline of 69%. Gain on sale of loans for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $77.7 million, compared to $202.7 million for the same period in 2003, a decrease of 62%. This decrease is attributable to decreased originations and slightly reduced secondary market margins as a result of the increasing interest rate environment that began in the latter half of 2003.
Servicing fee income is recognized by collecting fees, which normally range between 25 and 44 basis points annually on the principal amount of the underlying mortgages. Servicing fee income totaled $25.7 million and $51.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 34% and 44% from the same periods in 2003, primarily reflecting the growth in the servicing portfolio.
Amortization expense relates to mortgage servicing rights and is based on the proportion of current net servicing income to the total expected for the estimated lives of the underlying loans. Amortization expense totaled $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $33.2 million during the second quarter of 2003. Year-to-date amortization expense totaled $51.5 million and $60.5 million for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The decrease in amortization expense in 2004 relates in part to an other-than-temporary impairment adjustment of $7.0 million taken in the first quarter of 2004 and $38.5 million taken in the fourth quarter of 2003 to reflect our view that the originally recorded value of certain servicing rights, net of amortization, and subsequent impairment associated with those rights is unlikely to be recovered in market value. There was no related direct impact on net income as this other than temporary impairment affected only balance sheet accounts. However, the adjustment has resulted in a reduction of amortization expense. Amortization expense year to date in 2004 has also decreased as a result of an increase in the expected servicing life and cash flows caused by an increase in interest rates.
Impairment expense is recorded when the book value of the mortgage servicing rights exceeds the fair value on a strata by strata basis. We determined fair value at June 30, 2004, through the use of independent valuations, valuation comparisons to actual servicing sale proceeds, and internal models. Impairment recovery totaled $71.3 million and $23.1 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to impairment expense of $40.7 million and $42.6 million during the same periods of 2003. The impairment recovery in the second quarter of 2004 was a result of reduced actual and expected prepayments due to increasing interest rates. Impairment net of derivative gains/losses was a positive $13.5 million and $23.7 million during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, compared to a negative $11.7 million and $13.4 million during the same periods in 2003.
At June 30, 2004, the mortgage line of business held $8.9 billion notional amount of interest rate swaptions to manage the risk associated with our servicing assets. Notional amounts do not represent the amount at risk. The current risk management activities of the mortgage bank related to servicing assets do not satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. As a result, these derivatives are accounted for as other assets and other liabilities, and changes in fair value are adjusted through earnings as derivative gains (losses), while the underlying servicing asset is accounted for on a strata-by-strata basis at the lower of cost or market.
Our mortgage banking business maintains the flexibility either to sell servicing for current cash flow through bulk sales or to retain servicing for future cash flow through the retention of ongoing servicing fees. Total servicing sales represented 65% and 58% of loan originations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 4% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. The decision to sell or retain servicing is based on current market conditions for servicing assets, loan origination levels and production expenses, servicing portfolio management considerations, consolidated capital constraints and the general level of risk tolerance of the mortgage banking line of business and the Corporation. We sold $0.9 billion of bulk servicing during the second quarter and $2.0 billion year to date in 2004, generating a $1.9 million and $8.4 million pre-tax gain, respectively. There were no bulk sales during these periods in 2003. Over the past few years, we have built our servicing portfolio in anticipation of rising interest rates that would result in lower mortgage loan production. We sold servicing this quarter to counteract the effect of declines in production income, as we do in periods of rising interest rates, as well as to manage the size and composition of our investment in mortgage servicing assets.

Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $56.7 million and $109.2 million, a 21% and 20% decrease over the same periods in 2003. These decreases in operating expenses reflect significant decreases in production activities in 2004 versus 2003. However, the relative decreases in operating expenses is less than the relative decreases in production due to the fixed nature of certain operating expenses and the impact of investments in various process improvement initiatives.

(1) | Run-off is primarily the reduction in principal balance of the servicing portfolio due to regular principal payments made by mortgagees and early repayments of entire loans. | |
(2) | For this calculation, deferred service release premiums on warehouse loans are excluded from mortgage servicing assets, and loans held for sale (i.e. warehouse loans) are excluded from the servicing portfolio. |
We record originated mortgage servicing assets at allocated cost basis when the loans are sold and record purchased servicing assets at fair value. Thereafter, servicing rights are accounted for at the lower of their cost or fair value. We record a valuation allowance for any impairment on a disaggregated basis. We determine fair value on a monthly basis based on a discounted cash flow analysis. These cash flows are projected over the life of the servicing using prepayment, default, discount rate and cost to service assumptions that we believe market participants would use to value similar assets. We then assess these modeled assumptions for reasonableness through independent third-party valuations, periodic servicing asset sales and through the use of industry surveys. At June 30, 2004, we estimated the fair value of these assets to be $424.4 million in the aggregate, or $58.6 million greater than the carrying value on the balance sheet. The difference between carrying value and market value is the result of a cap under generally accepted accounting principles at the lower of cost or market for these assets. At December 31, 2003, we estimated the fair value of these assets to be $358.9 million in the aggregate, or $10.7 million greater than the carrying value on the balance sheet.

Overview
Our commercial banking line of business focuses on providing credit, cash management and personal banking products to small businesses and business owners. We offer commercial banking services through our banking subsidiaries, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, an Indiana state-chartered commercial bank, and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., a federal savings bank. Earlier in the year, Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. sold two of its branches Las Vegas, Nevada, and Salt Lake City, Utah to Irwin Union Bank and Trust. On June 3, 2004, we established a new branch of Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. in Brookfield, Wisconsin (near Milwaukee).
Net Income
Commercial banking net income of $5.8 million during the second quarter of 2004 was slightly less than $5.9 million for the same period in 2003. Year-to-date net income totaled $11.2 million in 2004 compared to net income of $11.1 million in 2003.
Net Interest Income

Net interest margin |

Net interest income was $21.2 million for the second quarter of 2004, an increase of 9% over second quarter of 2003. Net interest income year to date in 2004 also improved 9% over the same period in 2003. The 2004 improvement in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in our commercial banking loan portfolio as a result of growth and expansion efforts. Net interest margin, the ratio of net interest income divided by average interest earning assets, for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was 3.64%, compared to 3.87% for the same period in 2003. Year-to-date net interest margin for 2004 was 3.71%, compared to 3.95% for 2003. The reduction in 2004 margin is due to slower than anticipated loan growth which has led to greater than planned excess liquidity, as well as asset yields continuing to decline while some funding sources have reached contractual or competitive rate floors.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Provision for loan and lease losses declined to $2.0 million during the first half of 2004, compared to a provision of $2.9 million during the same period in 2003. The declining provision relates to a combination of improved overall credit quality, improving economic conditions and slower loan growth. See further discussion in the Credit Quality section below.

Noninterest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased 10% and 9% over the same periods in 2003, respectively. This decrease was due primarily to lower gains from sales of loans related to decreased mortgage production, partially
31
offset by lower servicing asset amortization as well as by servicing asset impairment reversal. The commercial banking line of business has a first mortgage servicing portfolio totaling $449.1 million at June 30, 2004, principally a result of mortgage loan production in its south-central Indiana markets. Servicing rights related to this portfolio are carried on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or market, estimated at June 30, 2004 to be $3.9 million.

Balance Sheet
Total assets year to date through June 30, 2004 averaged $2.3 billion compared to $2.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2003. Year to date average earning assets as of June 30, 2004 averaged $2.3 billion compared to $2.0 billion for the year 2003. The most significant component of the increase in 2004 was an increase in commercial loans as a result of the commercial banks continued growth and expansion efforts into new markets. Average core deposits (deposits less jumbo and brokered certificates of deposits and public funds) for the second quarter of 2004 totaled $2.0 billion, an annualized increase of 43% over average core deposits in the first quarter 2004.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets to total assets and the allowance for loan losses to total loans both decreased at June 30, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003. The decline in nonperformings in the first half of 2004 was primarily the result of satisfactory management of delinquent loans and collections made to nonperforming relationships during the past six months. Nonperforming loans are not significantly concentrated in any industry category.

Overview
Our home equity lending line of business originates, purchases, sells and services a variety of home equity lines of credit and fixed-rate home equity loan products nationwide. We market our home equity products (generally using second mortgage liens) through a combination of direct mail, brokers, the Internet, and correspondent channels. We target creditworthy homeowners who are active credit users. Customers are underwritten using proprietary models based on several criteria, including the customers previous use of credit.
We offer home equity loans with combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratios of up to 125% of their collateral value. Home equity
33
loans are priced taking into account, among other factors, the credit history of our customer and the relative loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of the loan at origination. For example, all else being equal, those loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 100% (high LTV, or HLTVs) are priced with higher coupons than home equity loans with loan-to-value ratios less than 100% to compensate for increased expected losses through default. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, HLTV home equity loans constituted 49% of our loan originations versus 52% during the same period in 2003. HLTVs constituted 55% of our managed portfolio at June 30, 2004 compared to 64% at December 31, 2003. In an effort to manage portfolio concentration risk and to comply with existing banking regulations, we have policies in place governing the size of our investment in loans secured by real estate where the LTV is greater than 90%. In accordance with regulatory guidance set forth in Supervision and Regulation Letter 01-4 and in consultation with our banking regulators, we made a risk-weighting adjustment in our regulatory Consolidated Report of Condition and Income, beginning with the third quarter of 2003. This adjustment reflects a risk-weighting of 200 percent for certain HLTV assets (approximately $184 million at June 30, 2004 compared with $219 million at March 31) that are described in the guidance as subprime. The designation of certain loans as subprime and the additional capital requirement for those loans was a principal driver in our decision to respond to market demand for seasoned home equity product and sell a portion of our portfolio (approximately $205 million) in the current quarter, rather than selling exclusively from current production.
For most of our home equity product offerings, we offer customers the choice to accept an early repayment fee in exchange for a lower interest rate. A typical early repayment option provides for a fee equal to up to six months interest that is payable if the borrower chooses to repay the loan during the first three to five years of its term. Approximately 83%, or $1.3 billion, of our home equity managed portfolio at June 30, 2004 have early repayment provisions, reflecting such customer choice.

Net Income
Our home equity lending business recorded net income of $8.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss for the same period in 2003 of $14.4 million. Year to date income of $15.5 million was recorded through June 30, 2004, compared to a net loss of $23.9 million during the same period a year earlier. The increased earnings in the first half of 2004 relate primarily to improving credit quality and resulting adjustments in fair value made to our residual interests and recorded through Trading Gains/Losses and the sale of portfolio loans.
Net Revenue
Net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $41.7 million and $78.2 million, respectively, compared to net revenue for the same periods in 2003 of negative $2.2 million and a positive $4.3 million. The increase in revenues is primarily a result of increased trading gains related to adjustments made in marking the residual interests to fair value in the respective quarters, reflecting improved credit quality trends in the underlying loan portfolios represented by these residuals. Trading gains during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $6.7 million and $11.3 million, compared to trading losses of $33.1 million and $50.9 million during the same periods in 2003.
During the second quarter of 2004, our home equity lending business produced $403.8 million of home equity loans, compared to $299.0 million during the same period in 2003. Our home equity lending business had $1.1 billion of net loans and loans held for sale at June 30, 2004, compared to $0.9 billion at December 31, 2003. Included in the loan balance at June 30, 2004 were $0.2 billion of collateralized loans as part of secured financings.

Net interest income decreased to $26.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $28.2 million for the same period in 2003. Year-to-date net interest income for 2004 was $50.9 million, compared to $54.6 million for 2003. This line of business earns interest income on loans held on the balance sheet and the accretion of the discount applied to its residual interests. Accretion totaled $3.3 million and $6.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, versus $6.0 million and $13.0 million for the same periods in 2003. The reduced accretion relates to the 21% reduction in our residual interests at June 30, 2004 compared to the prior year. The increase in the non-accretion interest income from $41.7 million in the first half of 2003 to $44.3 million in the first half of 2004 is a result of the buildup of our on-balance sheet loan portfolio which grew from $0.8 billion at June 30, 2003 to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2004.
Provision for loan losses decreased to $5.2 million the first half of 2004, compared to $12.9 million during the same period in 2003. The decreased provision relates to improvements in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and reduced portfolio balances primarily due to the sale of portfolio loans.
Gains on sales of loans for the three months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $3.0 million, compared to $8.3 million during the same period in 2003. Gains on sales of loans for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $11.7 million, compared to $10.3 million during the same period in 2003. The decrease in gains in the second quarter of 2004 relates to a lower volume of whole loan sales. During the second quarter of 2004, we completed the sale of portfolio loans associated with a secured financing transaction we had completed in 2002. This transaction resulted in a $2.5 million gain on the sale of $205 million of underlying loans due primarily to the recognition of a mortgage servicing asset. This transaction also resulted in the reversal of $6.3 million of loan loss provision before these loans were transferred from loans to loans held for sale and then sold.
We do not record a residual interest as a result of whole loan sales as we do not retain a credit loss interest after the sale. These are cash sales for which we receive a premium, generally record a servicing asset, and recognize any points and fees at the time of sale. For certain sales, we have the right to an incentive servicing fee that will provide cash payments to us once a pre-established return for the certificate holders and certain structure-specific loan credit and servicing performance metrics are met. These incentive servicing fee contracts are treated as derivatives and classified in other assets. At June 30, 2004, we were receiving incentive fees for one transaction that had met these performance metrics. Included in other income during the first half of 2004 was $1.6 million related to these incentive servicing fees based upon actual and projected performance of the underlying pools of loans. Of the $1.6 million recognized during 2004, $0.7 million was the result of cash collections and $0.9 million represented the projected value of future cash payments, present valued using a discount rate of 30%.
Loan servicing fees totaled $7.4 million during the second quarter of 2004, compared to $5.2 million during the same period in 2003. Year to date, loan servicing fees totaled $13.5 million, compared to $9.8 million during the same period in 2003. The servicing portfolio underlying the mortgage servicing asset at our home equity lending line of business totaled $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in loan servicing fees in 2004 relates to increased servicing income on our whole loan portfolio as well as increased early repayment fees which totaled $3.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2003 on the portfolio underlying the mortgage servicing asset.
Amortization and impairment of servicing assets includes amortization expenses and valuation adjustments relating to the carrying value of servicing assets. Our home equity lending business determines fair value of its servicing asset using discounted cash flows and assumptions as to estimated future servicing income and cost that we believe market participants would use to value similar assets. In addition, we periodically assess these modeled assumptions for reasonableness through independent third-party valuations. At June 30, 2004, net servicing assets totaled $28.1 million, compared to a balance of $28.4 million at December 31, 2003. Servicing asset amortization and impairment expense totaled $8.1 million during the first half of 2004, compared to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
35
Trading gains (losses) represent unrealized gains (losses) as a result of adjustments to the carrying values of our residual interests. Trading gains totaled $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to losses of $33.1 million for the same period in 2003. Year-to-date trading gains totaled $11.3 million for 2004, compared to losses of $50.9 million for the same period in 2003. Losses on the loans underlying the residual assets occurred at an annualized rate of 4.25% during the second quarter of 2004, as compared to our March 31, 2004, projection for the second quarter of 8.07%. As a result, cash flow received from the residual assets during the second quarter totaled $10.8 million compared to our previously modeled estimate of $6.4 million. Residual interests had a balance of $73.2 million at June 30, 2004 and $70.5 million at December 31, 2003. The increase reflects performance-based valuation adjustments and the re-acquisition of $5.3 million of residuals we had sold between 1999 and 2001. The reacquisition allowed us to address issues between us and the seller that arose from potential differences in our respective economic interests in those residuals. Included in the valuation are assumptions for estimated prepayments, expected losses, and discount rates that we believe market participants would use to value similar assets. To the extent our expectations of future loss rates, prepayment speeds and other factors change as we gather additional data over time, these residual valuations may be subject to additional adjustments in the future. These adjustments could have a material effect on our earnings. The increased unrealized trading gains in the second quarter of 2004 principally reflect lower actual loss rates than those previously modeled. These lower expected loss rates reflect the strengthening economy and recent actual experience where actual cash received was in excess of our previously modeled expectations. Our forward loss assumptions are reevaluated monthly and, as such, our residual asset valuations will be adjusted monthly to reflect changes in actual and expected loss rates in our portfolio.

Operating expenses were $26.9 million and $52.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $21.8 million and $44.2 million for the same periods in 2003. Operating expenses during the first half of 2004 included $5.9 million of compensation expense related to minority ownership interests at the home equity lending line of business which are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. During the same period in 2003, we had a reversal of approximately $0.3 million due to the decline in the value of the minority ownership interest during that period.
Home Equity Servicing
Our home equity lending business continues to service a majority of the loans it has securitized and sold. We earn a servicing fee of approximately 50 to 100 basis points of the outstanding principal balance of the loans treated as sales under generally accepted accounting principles. The total servicing portfolio was $2.7 billion at June 30, 2004 and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2003. For whole loans sold with servicing retained totaling $1.2 billion at June 30, 2004 and $1.1 billion at December 31, 2003, we capitalize servicing fees including rights to future early repayment fees.
Our Managed Portfolio is separated into two categories: $1.1 billion of loans originated, generally since 2002, and held on balance sheet either as loans held for investment or loans held for sale, and $0.5 billion of loans and lines of credit securitized for which we retained a residual interest. Generally, these loans categorized as Owned Residual were originated prior to 2002 and treated as sold under SFAS 140 and have a reserve methodology that reflects life of account loss expectations; whereas our policy for on-balance sheet loans requires that we hold at a minimum, sufficient reserves for potential losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. Such losses for on-balance sheet loans manifest themselves over a period which management believes approximates twelve months.
36
In addition, where applicable, we have the opportunity to earn additional future servicing incentive fees. Included below in the category Credit Risk Sold, Potential Incentive Servicing Fee Retained Portfolio are $856.0 million of loans at June 30, 2004 and $849.3 million at December 31, 2003 for which we have the opportunity to earn an incentive servicing fee.

The managed portfolio amounts listed above include those loans we service with credit risk retained. Delinquency rates and losses on our managed portfolio result from a variety of factors, including loan seasoning, portfolio mix and general economic conditions.

Overview
In our commercial finance line of business, we originate small-ticket equipment leases through established U.S. and Canadian relationships with vendors, manufacturers and third-party originators, and provide financing for franchisees of selected quick service and casual dining restaurant concepts. The majority of our leases are full payout (no residual), small-ticket assets secured by commercial equipment. Within the franchise channel, the majority of our contracts are loans and full payout with higher transaction sizes than in our small-ticket channel. The franchise channel may also finance real estate for select franchise systems. We finance a variety of commercial, light industrial and office equipment types and try to limit the concentrations in our loan and lease portfolios.
Net Income
During the three months ended June 30, 2004, the commercial finance line of business recorded net income of $1.3 million, compared to breaking even for the same period in the prior year. Year to date, the commercial finance line of business earned $1.0 million compared to a loss of $0.3 for the same period in the prior year. Year to date, pre-tax earnings increased to $4.3 million at June 30, 2004, compared to a pre-tax loss of $0.6 million during the same period in 2003. The 2004 pre-tax improvement in earnings is attributable to portfolio growth, improvements in credit quality, and gains from the sale leases and whole loans without recourse. Net income was negatively affected by a one-time income tax charge of $1.7 million during the first quarter reflecting the cumulative impact of tax liabilities acquired, but not recorded on the books of the company at the time of our purchase of our Canadian operations from a now bankrupt seller. The impact of this adjustment would not have been material to any prior reporting periods.

Net interest income was $6.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, an increase of 27% over 2003. Year to date net interest income was $13.6 million, compared to $10.2 million in 2003. The improvement in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase in our commercial finance portfolio. The total loan and lease portfolio has increased to $510.3 million at June 30, 2004, an increase of 10% over year-end 2003 and an increase of 28% over June 30, 2003. This line of business originated $88.6 million in loans and leases during the second quarter of 2004, compared to $66.3 million during the same period of 2003.
Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2004 was 5.62%, compared to 5.45% in 2003 for the same period. The increase in 2004 margin is due primarily to changes in product mix and intercompany funding changes.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The provision for loan and lease losses decreased to $3.2 million during the first six months in 2004 compared to $6.9 million for the same period in 2003. The decreased provisioning levels relate primarily to improvements in credit quality in our lease portfolio. We did add $1.1 million to the allowance during the second quarter related to potential loss on lease receivables on product manufactured and supplied to customers by a single vendor.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income during the three months ended June 30, 2004 decreased 2% over the same period in 2003. Year to date, noninterest income was $3.1 million, compared to $3.5 million during the same period of 2003. This year-to-date decrease was due primarily to interest rate derivative losses in our Canadian operation related to mitigating asset-liability mismatches in our funding of that operation. We had no derivative losses for this line of business during the same period in 2003.

Operating expenses during the second quarter and first half of 2004 totaled $5.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively, an increase of 25% over the same periods in 2003. The increased operating expenses relate to the continued growth in this business since its inception in 1999, including compensation costs related to higher originations and the achievement of pre-tax profitability.
Credit Quality
The commercial finance line of business had nonperforming loans and leases at June 30, 2004 of $3.4 million compared to $4.1 million as of December 31, 2003. Net charge-offs recorded by this line of business totaled $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2003. Net charge-offs year to date were $2.3 million, improving from the $4.5 million net charge-offs recorded in the first half of 2003. Our allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2004 totaled $11.7

Overview
In our venture capital line of business, we make minority investments in early stage companies in the financial services industry and related fields that intend to use technology as a key component of their competitive strategy. We provide Irwin Ventures portfolio companies the benefit of our management experience in the financial services industry. In addition, we expect that contacts made through venture activities may benefit management of our other lines of business through the sharing of technologies and market opportunities. Our venture capital line of business had investments in seven private companies as of June 30, 2004, with an aggregate investment cost of $14.6 million and a carrying value of $3.2 million.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the venture capital line of business recorded a net loss of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared to losses of $0.1 million and $1.5 million for the same periods in 2003. The losses relate to valuation adjustments to reflect the companys portfolio investments at market value.
Parent and Other
Results at the parent company and other businesses totaled a net loss of $3.4 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to a loss of $1.3 million and $3.3 million during the same periods in 2003. The losses at the parent company primarily relate to operating expenses in excess of management fees charged to the lines of business and interest income earned on intercompany loans. Included in parent and other expense were compensation charges related to key employee retention initiatives at the home equity lending line of business totaling $2.5 million during the first half of 2004. We recognized a $1.8 million benefit with respect to this initiative during the first half of 2003. Also included in parent company operating results are allocations to our subsidiaries of interest expense related to our interest-bearing capital obligations. During the six month period ended June 30, 2004, we allocated $6.6 million of these expenses to our subsidiaries, compared to $7.4 million during the second quarter of 2003, reflecting reduced use of parent company-sourced capital funding for the subsidiaries.
Each subsidiary pays taxes to us at the statutory rate. Subsidiaries also pay fees to us to cover direct and indirect services. In addition, certain services are provided from one subsidiary to another. Intercompany income and expenses are calculated on an arms-length, external market basis and are eliminated in consolidation.

Each line of business that assumes financial risk uses a formal process to manage this risk. In all cases, the objectives are to ensure that risk is contained within prudent levels and that we are adequately compensated for the level of risk assumed.
Our Chairman, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice Presidents (including the Chief Financial Officer), and Chief Risk Officer meet on a regularly-scheduled basis (or more frequently as appropriate) as an Enterprise-wide Risk Management Committee (ERMC), reporting to the Board of Directors Audit and Risk Management Committee. The ERMC and its subcommittees oversee all aspects of our financial, credit, and operational risks. The ERMC provides senior-level review and enhancement of line manager risk processes and oversight of our risk reporting, surveillance and model parameter changes.

Credit Risk
The assumption of credit risk is a key source of earnings for the home equity lending, commercial banking and commercial finance lines of business. The mortgage banking line of business assumes limited credit risk as its mortgages typically are insured and are sold within a short period of time after origination.
The credit risk in the loan portfolios of the home equity lending, commercial finance and commercial banking lines of business has the most potential for a significant effect on our consolidated financial performance. These lines of business each have a Chief Credit Officer (the Chief Executive Officer of the Commercial Banking line of business is temporarily assuming responsibility for this position for this line of business we are engaged in a search to find a full time replacement for the Chief Credit Officer) specific to the product line and manage credit risk through various combinations of the use of lending policies, credit analysis and approval procedures, periodic loan reviews, servicing activities, and/or personal contact with borrowers. Commercial loans over a certain size, depending on the loan type and structure, are reviewed by a loan committee prior to approval. We perform independent loan review across the Corporation through a function that reports directly to the Audit and Risk Management Committee.
The allowance for loan and lease losses is an estimate based on our judgment applying the principles of SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan Income Recognition and Disclosures. The allowance is maintained at a level we believe is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. We perform an assessment of the adequacy of the allowance no less frequently than on a quarterly basis.
Within the allowance, there are specific and expected loss components. The specific loss component is based on a regular analysis of all loans over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. From this analysis we determine the loans that we believe to be impaired in accordance with SFAS 114. Management has defined impaired as nonaccrual loans. An allowance is established when the collateral value, observable market price or discounted cash flows of an impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. In addition to establishing allowance levels for specifically identified higher risk graded loans, management determines an allowance for all other loans in the portfolio for which historical or projected experience indicates that certain losses exist. These loans are segregated by major product type, and in some instances, by aging, with an estimated loss ratio or migration pattern applied against each product type and aging category. For portfolios that are too new to have adequate historical experience on which to base a loss estimate, we use estimates derived from industry experience and managements judgment. The loss ratio or migration patterns are generally based upon historic loss experience or historic rate migration behaviors, respectively, for each loan type adjusted for certain environmental factors management believes to be relevant.
Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were $4.5 million, or 0.6% of average loans, compared to $9.7 million, or 1.2% of average loans during the same period in 2003. Year-to-date net charge-offs were $12.6 million, compared to $15.8 million during the same period in 2003. The decrease in charge-offs is a result of improvements in credit quality associated with the steadily improving economy. At June 30, 2004, the allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.7% of outstanding loans and leases, down from 2.0% at December 31, 2003.
Total nonperforming loans and leases at June 30, 2004, were $32.9 million, compared to $44.4 million at December 31, 2003. Nonperforming loans and leases as a percent of total loans and leases at June 30, 2004 were 1.0%, compared to 1.4% at December 31, 2003. The 2004 decrease occurred primarily at the home equity lending line of business where nonperforming loans decreased from $11.2 million at December 31, 2003 to $5.4 million at June 30, 2004. In addition, nonperforming loans at the commercial banking line of business decreased to $21.4 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $26.6 million at the end of 2003.
Other real estate we owned totaled $5.5 million at June 30, 2004, down from $6.4 million at December 31, 2003. Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2004 were $42.7 million, or 0.79% of total assets compared to nonperforming assets at December 31, 2003, of $52.5 million, or 1.1% of total assets.

Generally, the accrual of income is discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt, or when the payment of principal or interest has become contractually 90 days past due unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet the daily requirements of our business. For financial institutions, demand for funds results principally from extensions of credit and withdrawal of deposits. Liquidity is provided through deposits and short-term and long-term borrowings, by asset maturities or sales, and through equity capital.
The objectives of liquidity management are to ensure that funds will be available to meet current and future demands and that funds are available at a reasonable cost. We manage liquidity centrally via daily interaction with the lines of business and periodic liquidity
43
planning sessions. Since loans are less marketable than securities, the ratio of total loans to total deposits is a traditional measure of liquidity for banks and bank holding companies. At June 30, 2004, the ratio of loans and loans held for sale to total deposits was 131%. We are comfortable with this relatively high level due to our position in mortgage loans held for sale ($1.2 billion) and second mortgage loans and leases financed through matched-term secured financing ($0.3 billion). The mortgage loans carry an interest rate at or near current market rates and are generally sold within a short period after origination. Excluding these items, our loans to deposit ratio at June 30, 2004 was 85%.
Deposits consist of three primary types: non-maturity transaction account deposits, certificates of deposit (CDs), and escrow account deposits. Core deposits include deposits less jumbo and brokered CDs and public funds. Core deposits totaled $2.1 billion at June 30, 2004 compared to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2003.
Non-maturity transaction account deposits are generated by our commercial banking line of business and include deposits placed into checking, savings, money market and other types of deposit accounts by our customers. These types of deposits have no contractual maturity date and may be withdrawn at any time. While these balances fluctuate daily, a large percentage typically remains for much longer. At June 30, 2004, these deposit types totaled $1.8 billion, an increase of $0.7 billion from December 31, 2003.
CDs differ from non-contractual maturity accounts in that they do have contractual maturity dates. We issue CDs both directly to customers and through brokers. As of June 30, 2004, CDs issued directly to customers totaled $0.5 billion, unchanged from December 31, 2003. Brokered CDs are typically considered to have higher liquidity (renewal) risk than CDs issued directly to customers, since brokered CDs are often done in large blocks and since a direct relationship does not exist with the depositor. In recognition of this, we manage the size and maturity structure of brokered CDs closely. For example, the maturities of brokered CDs are laddered to mitigate liquidity risk. CDs issued through brokers totaled $0.4 billion at June 30, 2004, and had an average remaining life of 16 months, as compared to $0.3 billion outstanding with an 18 month average remaining life at December 31, 2003.
Escrow account deposits are related to the servicing of our originated first mortgage loans. When a first mortgage borrower makes a monthly mortgage payment, consisting of interest and principal due on the loan and often a real estate tax and insurance portion, we hold the payment on a non-interest earning basis, except where otherwise required by law, until the payment is remitted to the current owner of the loan or the proper tax authority and insurance carrier. Escrow deposits may also include proceeds from the payoff of loans in our servicing portfolio prior to the transmission of those proceeds to investors. At June 30, 2004, these escrow balances totaled $0.7 billion, which was up $0.1 billion from December 31, 2003.
Short-term borrowings consist of borrowings from several sources. Our largest borrowing source is the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLBI), of which we are an active member. We utilize their collateralized borrowing programs to help fund qualifying first mortgage, home equity and commercial real estate loans. As of June 30, 2004, FHLBI borrowings outstanding totaled $0.5 billion, a $0.2 billion increase from December 31, 2003. We had sufficient collateral pledged to FHLBI at June 30, 2004 to borrow an additional $0.4 billion, if needed.
In addition to borrowings from the FHLBI, we use other lines of credit as needed. At June 30, 2004, the amount of short-term borrowings outstanding on our major credit lines and the total amount of the borrowing lines were as follows:
| Warehouse lines of credit to fund first mortgages and home equity loans: none outstanding on a $300 million borrowing facility, of which $150 million is committed | |||
| Warehouse borrowing facilities to fund first mortgage loans: $1 million outstanding on a $150 million committed borrowing facility | |||
| Lines of credit with correspondent banks, including fed funds lines: $51 million outstanding out of $165 million available but not committed | |||
| Line of credit with a correspondent bank collateralized by mortgage servicing rights: none outstanding out of $75 million committed borrowing facility |
44
In addition to short-term borrowings from the aforementioned credit lines, sale facilities are used to effect sale of Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) conforming first mortgage loans before scheduled GSE settlement dates. The first two of these sale facilities listed below have specific dollar limits as noted. The size of the third facility is limited only by the amount of mortgage-backed securities we can package for purchase by the facility provider. At June 30, 2004, the amount unsettled by the GSE on these facilities and the total facility amount were as follows:
| Committed warehouse sale facility: $88 million unsettled on a $600 million facility | |||
| Uncommitted warehouse sale facility: $87 million unsettled on a $150 million facility | |||
| Investor warehouse sale facility: $0 million unsettled |
Interest Rate Risk
Because all of our assets are not perfectly match funded with like-term liabilities, our earnings are affected by interest rate changes. Interest rate risk is measured by the sensitivity of both net interest income and fair market value of net interest sensitive assets to changes in interest rates.
An asset/liability management committee (ALMC) at each of our lines of business that has interest rate risk monitors the repricing structure of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items and uses a financial simulation model to measure interest rate risk over multiple interest rate scenarios. Our parent company ALMC oversees the interest rate risk profile of all of our lines of business as a whole and is represented on each of the line of business ALMCs. We incorporate many factors into the financial model, including prepayment speeds, deposit rate forecasts for non-maturity transaction accounts, fee income and a comprehensive mark-to-market valuation process. We reevaluate risk measures and assumptions regularly and enhance modeling tools as needed.
Our commercial banking, home equity lending, and commercial finance lines of business assume interest rate risk in the form of repricing structure mismatches between their loans and leases and funding sources. We manage this risk by adjusting the duration of their interest sensitive liabilities and through the use of hedging via financial derivatives.
Our mortgage banking line of business assumes interest rate risk by entering into commitments to extend loans to borrowers at a fixed rate for a limited period of time. We hold closed loans only temporarily until a pool is formed and sold in a securitization or under a flow sale arrangement. To mitigate the risk that interest rates will rise between loan origination and sale, the mortgage bank buys commitments to deliver loans at a fixed price. Interest rate risk also exists for the mortgage pipeline period, which is the period starting when a rate lock commitment is made and ending at the time a loan originates or the rate lock expires. To mitigate this risk, the mortgage bank also buys commitments to deliver loans at a fixed rate for a portion of our pipeline.
Our mortgage, commercial banking and home equity lending lines of business also are exposed to the risk that interest rates will decline, increasing prepayment speeds on loans and decreasing the value of servicing assets and residual interests. Some offsets to these exposures exist in the form of strong production operations, selective sales of servicing rights, match-funded asset-backed securities sales and the use of financial instruments to manage the economic performance of the assets. Since there are accounting timing differences between the recognition of gains or losses on financial derivatives and the realization of economic gains or losses on certain offsetting exposures (e.g., strong production operations), our decisions on the degree to which we manage risk with derivative instruments to insulate against short-term price volatility depends on a variety of factors, including:
| the type of risk we are trying to mitigate; | |||
| offsetting factors elsewhere in the Corporation; | |||
| the level of current capital above our target minimums; | |||
| time remaining in the quarter (i.e., days until quarter-end); | |||
| current level of derivative gain or loss relative to accounting and economic basis; | |||
| basis risk: the degree to which the interest rates underlying our derivative instruments might not move parallel to the interest rate driving our asset valuation; and | |||
| convexity: the degree to which asset values, or risk management derivative instrument values, do not change in a linear fashion as interest rates change. |
45
This strategy may, at times, result in variability in quarterly results that are not reflective of underlying trends for the Corporation.
The following tables reflect our estimate of the present value of interest sensitive assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items at June 30, 2004. In addition to showing the estimated fair market value at current rates, they also provide estimates of the fair market values of interest sensitive items based upon a hypothetical instantaneous move both up and down 100 and 200 basis points in the entire yield curve.
The first table is an economic analysis showing the present value impact of changes in interest rates, assuming a comprehensive mark-to-market environment. The second table is an accounting analysis showing the same net present value impact, adjusted for expected GAAP treatment. Neither analysis takes into account the book values of the noninterest sensitive assets and liabilities (such as cash, accounts receivable, and fixed assets), the values of which are not directly determined by interest rates.
The analyses are based on discounted cash flows over the remaining estimated lives of the financial instruments. The interest rate sensitivities apply only to transactions booked as of June 30, 2004, although certain accounts such as Official Checks and Due From are normalized whereby the three- or six-month average balance is included rather than the quarter-end balance in order to avoid having the analysis skewed by a significant increase or decrease to an account balance at quarter-end.
The net asset value sensitivities do not necessarily represent the changes in the lines of business net asset value that would actually occur under the given interest rate scenarios, as sensitivities do not reflect changes in value of the companies as a going concern, nor consider potential rebalancing or other hedging actions that might be taken in the future under asset/liability management as interest rates change.
Specifically, the volume of derivative contracts entered into to manage the risk of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) fluctuates from quarter to quarter and within a given quarter, depending upon market conditions, the size of our MSR portfolio and various additional factors. We monitor derivative positions frequently and rebalance them as needed. Therefore, our derivative positions, shown in the table below as of June 30, 2004, may or may not be representative of our risk position during the succeeding quarter. Additionally, it is unlikely that the volume of derivative positions would remain constant over large fluctuations in interest rates, although the tables below assume they do. MSR risk management derivative contracts appear under the category Interest Sensitive Financial Derivatives in the tables below.

Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Irwin Financial, like other financial services organizations, is exposed to a variety of operational risks. These risks include regulatory, reputational and legal risks, as well as the potential for processing errors, internal or external fraud, failure of computer systems, and external events that are beyond the control of the Corporation, such as natural disasters.
Our Board of Directors has ultimate accountability for the level of operational risk assumed by us. The Board guides management by approving our business strategy and significant policies. Our management and Board have also established and continue to improve a control environment that encourages a high degree of awareness and proactivity in alerting senior management and the Board to potential control issues on a timely basis.
The Board has directed that primary responsibility for the management of operational risk rests with the managers of our business units, who are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control procedures that are appropriate for their operations. In 2002, we started implementing a multi-year program to provide a more integrated firm-wide approach for the identification, measurement, monitoring and mitigation of operational risk. The new enterprise-wide operational risk oversight function reports to the Audit and Risk Management Committee of our Board of Directors and to our Enterprise-Wide Risk Management Committee, which is led by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. We recently established an enterprise-wide compliance oversight function to devote increased attention and resources to banking regulatory compliance as we have grown more complex and as our home equity, commercial finance and mortgage banking businesses are now all being conducted under Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company. The compliance oversight function reports to our Chief Risk Officer, who in turn reports to the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. We have identified 75 key processes in the Corporation for which we have Risk and Control Summaries (RACS) for line managers to identify operational risks, internal controls and residual or unmitigated risks. These RACS constitute an integral part of our Board(s), CEO and CFOs oversight and assessment of the adequacy of our internal controls.
47
The financial services business is highly regulated. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial monetary or other damages that could be material to our financial position. Statutes and regulations may change in the future. We cannot predict what effect these changes, if made, will have on our operations. It should be noted that the supervision, regulation and examination of banks, thrifts and mortgage companies by regulatory agencies are intended primarily for the protection of depositors and other customers rather than shareholders of these institutions.
We are registered as a bank holding company with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the related regulations. We are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve, and as part of this process we must file reports and additional information with the Federal Reserve. The regulation, supervision and examinations occur at the local, state and federal levels and involve, but are not limited to minimum capital requirements, consumer protection, community reinvestment, and deposit insurance.
Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
In the normal course of our business as a provider of financial services, we are party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financial needs of our customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the consolidated balance sheet.
Our exposure to credit loss, in the form of nonperformance by the counterparty on commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Collateral pledged for standby letters of credit and commitments varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; and residential real estate. Total outstanding commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively, were $613.0 million and $548.2 million. We had $30.0 million and $30.8 million in irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Financial derivatives are used as part of the overall asset/liability risk management process. We use certain derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133. These derivatives are classified as other assets and other liabilities and marked to market on the income statement. While we do not seek GAAP hedge accounting treatment for the assets that these instruments are hedging, the economic purpose of these instruments is to manage the risk inherent in existing exposures to either interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.
We entered into an interest rate swap that has a notional amount (which does not represent the amount at risk) of $25 million as of June 30, 2004. Under the terms of the swap agreement, we receive a fixed rate of interest and pay a floating rate of interest based upon one-month LIBOR. We recognized a loss of $0.2 million included in derivative gains during the six month period ended June 30, 2004 related to this swap. By receiving a fixed rate of interest and paying a floating rate on the swap, we are converting the economics of a $25 million fixed rate funding source into a floating rate funding source.
We enter into forward contracts to protect against interest rate fluctuations from the date of mortgage loan commitment until the loans are sold. A portion of the transactions hedging the closed mortgage loans qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133. The notional amount of our forward contracts (which does not represent the amount at risk) totaled $1.0 billion at June 30, 2004. The closed mortgage loans hedged by forward contracts qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133. The basis of the hedged closed loans is adjusted for change in value associated with the risk being hedged. We value closed loan contracts at period end based upon the current secondary market value of securities with similar characteristics. The unrealized loss on our forward contracts at June 30, 2004 was $6.9 million and the hedge ineffectiveness year to date was a loss of $2.2 million. The effect of these hedging activities was recorded through earnings as a component of gain from sale of loans.
We enter into commitments to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (rate lock commitments). Rate lock commitments on loans intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives. We record changes in the fair value of these commitments based upon the current secondary market value of securities with similar characteristics. A net decrease in fair value of these derivatives totaling $1.7 million was recorded in the first half of 2004 in gain from sale of loans. At June 30, 2004, we had a notional amount of rate lock commitments outstanding totaling $0.9 billion with a fair value of $5.2 million. Notional amounts do not represent the amount of risk.

Our commercial finance line of business delivered fixed rate leases into conduits that fund them using floating rate commercial paper, which creates an interest rate risk mismatch.
| In two instances, this funding mismatch is lessened by a combination of amortizing interest rate caps and Eurodollar futures contracts. The interest rate caps have a strike price of 5% and provide protection against a large increase in short-term interest rates. As of June 30, 2004, the notional value and year-to-date loss on the interest rate caps were $35.8 million and $25 thousand, respectively. In addition, we also used Eurodollar futures contracts to hedge rate risk in this structure. As of June 30, 2004, the total notional amount and year-to-date gain on the Eurodollar futures were $120.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively. | |||
| In the fourth quarter of 2003, we delivered fixed rate leases into a second commercial paper conduit. Although the leases and funding were in Canadian dollars (CAD), the interest rate mismatch was similar in nature to that described above. To lessen the repricing mismatch between fixed rate CAD-denominated leases and floating rate CAD commercial paper, a series of three amortizing CAD interest rate swaps were executed, although Irwin was only a counterparty on two of the swaps. The third swap was between the commercial paper conduit and an outside party, but has an impact on us as it affects the conduit funding cost. Of the first of the two swaps on Irwins books, we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate. The U.S. dollar-equivalents of the CAD-based notional and year-to-date loss on this swap at June 30, 2004 were $62.6 million and $0.1 million, respectively. For the second swap, we pay a floating rate of interest and receive a fixed rate. The U.S. dollar-equivalents of the CAD-based notional and year-to-date loss on this swap at June 30, 2004 are $80.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. |
Certain of our home equity fixed rate residual interests are funded with floating rate liabilities. To manage such mismatches, starting in the first quarter of 2004, we entered into Eurodollar futures contracts. The current notional value outstanding is $695 million with expiration dates ranging from September 2004 through June 2006. As of June 30, 2004, the fair value and year-to-date gain recorded on these contracts were $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
Our home equity line of business originates loans that it regularly sells or securitizes. In the second quarter of 2004, we entered into two swaption agreements with a combined notional value of $195 million to economically hedge the value of a portion of our fixed rate home equity loans. The instrument underlying both swaptions is the 3-year swap rate and both have expiration dates in the third quarter of 2004. The combined fair values were $0.2 million and the year-to-date losses totaled $0.3 million. In addition, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to economically hedge a portion of portfolio loans that were sold during the second quarter. The year-to-date gain on this contract totaled $1.1 million.
In connection with certain of our whole loan servicing retained second mortgage sales we have the opportunity to earn an additional incentive servicing fee (ISF) in the future. The whole loan sales have been to firms, (the buyers) who securitize the loans and contract with us to service the loans. We recognize a mortgage servicing asset or liability for these contracts. As a part of the buyers securitizations, the buyers issue an Incentive Servicing Agreement to us as Master Servicer. Once a pre-established return for the certificate holders has been met, the ISF provides potential cash payments to us in the event certain structure-specific loan credit and servicing performance metrics are met. We have characterized these contracts as derivative instruments. The first of these transactions was dated September 27, 2002 for loans that were sold March 28, 2002. Included in derivative gains or losses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was a $1.6 million gain related to these incentive servicing fees based upon actual and projected performance of the underlying pools of loans. Of the $1.6 million recognized during the year, $0.7 million was the result of cash collections and $0.9 million represented the projected value of future cash payments, present valued using a discount rate of 30%. The pool of loans which we service underlying the derivative contract we valued was $83.6 million. In total, we have sold $0.9 billion in loans for which we hold such derivative contracts. Our accounting policy is to recognize a derivative asset on a mark-to-market basis at such time that the credit and prepayment performance models we use for valuing like pools of loans indicate that we are likely to receive cash payments on the derivatives within a twelve-month period. We use assumptions to value the ISFs that we believe market participants would use to value similar assets. As of June 30, 2004, only one of six whole loan sales with this derivative has met this expected performance trigger.
49
We manage the interest rate risk associated with our mortgage servicing rights through the use of Eurodollar futures contracts and interest rate options. The financial instrument underlying the Eurodollar futures contracts is based on the three-month LIBOR rate. Year to date, we recorded losses of $2.4 million on these derivatives. Both the futures contracts and options were marked-to-market and included in other assets with changes in value recorded in the consolidated income statements as derivative gains or losses. At June 30, 2004, we held open swaption positions with a notional value totaling $8.9 billion, with a final maturity of July 1, 2004. Year to date, we recorded gains on swaptions, including premiums paid, totaling $3.0 million. The size and mix of these positions change during the year, so period-end positions may not be indicative of our net risk exposure throughout the year. Notional amounts do not represent the amount at risk.
We own foreign currency forward contracts to protect the U.S. dollar value of intercompany loans made to Onset Capital Corporation that are denominated in Canadian dollars. We had a notional amount of $92 million in forward contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2004. Year to date, we recognized gains on these contracts of $1.1 million. These contracts are marked-to-market with gains and losses included in derivative gains or losses on the consolidated income statements. The foreign currency transaction loss on the intercompany loans was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are reported in the Interest Rate Risk section of Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations found on pages 45 through 47.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
In the ordinary course of internal process and control review by management and internal and external audit, we will periodically identify processes and controls that need improvement. When these are identified, we have procedures in place to bring the matter to the attention of the appropriate management and Board committees and to put into place project plans to address the improvement opportunity.
As of June 30, 2004, we performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004, to ensure that material information relating to the Corporation would be made known to them by others within the Corporation.
Based on an evaluation by management of our internal control over financial reporting, performed with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there have been no changes during the second quarter of 2004 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Corporations internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Since the time of filing our report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2004, we experienced developments as noted in the litigation described below:
Culpepper v. Inland Mortgage Corporation
As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended 2003, our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation, is a defendant in Culpepper v. Inland Mortgage Corporation, a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, filed in April 1996, that alleges violations of the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. We reported that on October 2, 2003 Culpepper was reassigned to U.S. District Judge, R. David Proctor, who ordered the parties to meet and submit a joint status report. On June 14, 2004 at the courts request, the parties engaged in mediation, which was unsuccessful. The court then reassigned this case to a new judge.
United States ex rel. Paranich v. Sorgnard et al.
As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended 2003, we and Irwin Leasing Corporation (formerly Affiliated Capital Corp.), our indirect subsidiary, and Irwin Equipment Finance Corporation, our direct subsidiary (together, the Irwin companies), were served as defendants in January 2001 in an action in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The suit alleges that a manufacturer/importer of certain medical devices (Matrix Biokinetics, Inc. and others) made misrepresentations to health care professionals and to government officials to improperly obtain Medicare reimbursement for treatments using the devices, and that the Irwin companies, through Affiliated Capitals financing activities, aided in making the alleged misrepresentations. The Irwin companies prevailed on a motion for summary judgment in the district court on October 8, 2003, and the plaintiff appealed. The Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has tentatively scheduled consideration of the appeal during the week of September 27, 2004. We cannot predict whether we will prevail on appeal and have not established any reserves for this case.
McIntosh v. Irwin Home Equity Corporation
As described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March, 31, 2004, our subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, is a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court in Massachusetts in July 2001. The case involves loans purchased by Irwin Union Bank from FirstPlus Financial, Inc., an unaffiliated third-party lender. The plaintiffs allege a failure to comply with certain disclosure provisions of the Truth in Lending Act relating to high rate loans in making second mortgage home equity loans to the plaintiff borrowers. The complaint seeks rescission of the loans and other damages.
A limited class was certified. As originally specified, the plaintiff class included those borrowers who obtained a mortgage loan originated by FirstPlus with prepayment penalty provisions during the three-year period prior to the filing of the suit. Subsequently, the court further restricted the class to borrowers with high-rate loans subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act who refinanced their loans and paid a prepayment penalty. A preliminary analysis led us to conclude that fewer than 100 loans qualified for class membership.
In June 2004, the parties agreed in principle to settle this matter for a nonmaterial amount, which has been reserved. The settlement is contingent upon the negotiation of a final settlement agreement and is subject to the approval of the district court.
Stamper v. A Home of Your Own, Inc.
As described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March, 31, 2004, on January 25, 2002, a jury in this case awarded the plaintiffs damages of $1.434 million, jointly and severally, against defendants, including our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation. The case, which was filed in August 1998 in the Baltimore, Maryland, City Circuit Court, alleged that a home rehabilitation company and its principal defrauded the plaintiffs by selling them defective homes at inflated prices and that Irwin Mortgage, which provided the plaintiff borrowers with mortgage loans, participated in the fraud. Irwin Mortgage filed an appeal with the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, and on February 27, 2004, the Court of Special Appeals ruled against Irwin Mortgage, remanding the case to the trial court for a partial retrial on whether the plaintiffs are entitled to punitive damages. On April 12, 2004,
51
Irwin Mortgage filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Maryland Court of Appeals, seeking further review. The Court of Appeals accepted the appeal on all issues on June 11, 2004. We have reserved for this case based upon the advice of our legal counsel.
Silke v. Irwin Mortgage Corporation
As described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2004, our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation, was named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the Marion County, Indiana, Superior Court in April, 2003. The complaint alleges that Irwin Mortgage charged a document preparation fee in violation of Indiana law for services performed by clerical personnel in completing legal documents related to mortgage loans. Irwin Mortgage filed a motion for summary judgment on October 27, 2003. On November 3, 2003, the court ruled that a determination of class certification would precede any action on Irwin Mortgages summary judgment motion. On March 15, 2004, the court held a hearing on plaintiffs motion for class certification and certified a class on June 18, 2004 consisting of Indiana borrowers who were allegedly charged the fee by Irwin Mortgage any time after April 17, 1997. We are unable at this time to form a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss, if any, that Irwin Mortgage could suffer. We have not established any reserves for this case.
Cohens v. Inland Mortgage Company
As described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March, 31, 2004, our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation (formerly Inland Mortgage Corporation), was named as a defendant, along with others, in an action filed in the Supreme Court of New York, County of Kings in October 2003. The plaintiffs, a mother and two children, allege they were injured from lead contamination while living in premises allegedly owned by the defendants. The suit seeks approximately $41,000,000 in damages and alleges negligence, breach of implied warranty of habitability and fitness for intended use, loss of services and the cost of medical treatment. Because the case is in the early stages of litigation, we are unable at this time to form a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential loss, if any, that Irwin Mortgage could suffer. The parties agreed to delay the filing of an answer in this case until July 30, 2004. We are attempting to obtain a voluntary dismissal based on our belief that there is insufficient nexus between the cause of the alleged injuries and Irwin Mortgage. We have not established any reserves for this case.
We and our subsidiaries are from time to time engaged in various matters of litigation, including the matters described above, and other assertions of improper or fraudulent loan practices or lending violations, and other matters, and we have a number of unresolved claims pending. In addition, as part of the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are parties to litigation involving claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts, the collection of delinquent accounts, challenges to security interests in collateral, and foreclosure interests, that is incidental to our regular business activities. While the ultimate liability with respect to these other litigation matters and claims cannot be determined at this time, we believe that damages, if any, and other amounts relating to pending matters are not likely to be material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations, except as described above. Reserves are established for these various matters of litigation, when appropriate, based upon the advice of legal counsel.
