EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Report on Form 10-K/A amends the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period
ended December 31, 2004, as initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9,
2005. This restatement, which we announced on November 4, 2005, is a result of our correcting the
accounting for incentive servicing fees as mortgage servicing rights rather than derivative
instruments. See Note 2 Restatement of Financials for additional information regarding this
restatement and a summary of the impact of this restatement on our financial statements. Item 7 -
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been
amended to reflect the impact of the restatement. Item 9A Controls and Procedures has also been
amended to acknowledge the existence of a material weakness in our internal controls over financial
reporting. In light of the restatement, we have made other adjusting entries to change the period
in which the reversal of certain tax reserves were recorded from the first quarter of 2005 to the
proper periods in 2004. These tax reserve adjustments were considered immaterial prior to the
restatement. The Form 10-K has not been amended in any other respect except for certain minor
conforming changes and the provision of updated certifications and signatures.
The financial statements and related financial information for the affected periods contained
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2004 should no longer be relied
upon.

PART I
Item 1. Business
General
We are a diversified financial services company headquartered in Columbus, Indiana with $521.4
million of net revenues in 2004 and $5.2 billion in assets at December 31, 2004. We focus primarily
on the extension of credit to consumers and small businesses as well as providing the ongoing
servicing of those customer accounts. Through our direct and indirect subsidiaries, we currently
operate five major lines of business: mortgage banking, commercial banking, home equity lending,
commercial finance and venture capital. More recently, our venture capital business has assumed a
lesser role in our consolidated results.
We are a regulated bank holding company and we conduct our consumer and commercial lending
businesses through various operating subsidiaries. Our banking subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and
Trust Company, was organized in 1871. We formed the holding company in 1972. Our direct and
indirect major subsidiaries include Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, a commercial bank, which
together with Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., a federal savings bank, conduct our commercial banking
activities; Irwin Mortgage Corporation, a mortgage banking company; Irwin Home Equity Corporation,
a consumer home equity lending company; Irwin Commercial Finance Corporation, a commercial finance
subsidiary; and Irwin Ventures LLC, a venture capital company.
At the parent level, we work actively to add value to our lines of business by interacting
with the management teams, capitalizing on interrelationships, providing centralized services and
coordinating overall organizational decisions. Additionally, as discussed in more detail later in
this report on Risk Management the parent company also provides risk management oversight and
controls for our subsidiaries. Under this organizational structure, the majority of our mortgage
banking, home equity lending and commercial finance lines of business operate as direct and
indirect subsidiaries of Irwin Union Bank and Trust. This structure provides additional liquidity
and results in regulatory oversight of our business.
Our Internet address is http://www.irwinfinancial.com.
We make available free of charge through our Internet website our annual report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports as
soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file the material with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Our Internet website and the information contained or incorporated in it
are not intended to be incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Major Lines of Business
Mortgage Banking
We established our mortgage banking line of business when we acquired our subsidiary, Irwin
Mortgage Corporation, formerly Inland Mortgage Corporation, in 1981. Irwin Mortgage became a
subsidiary of Irwin Union Bank and Trust in October, 2002. In this line of business, Irwin Mortgage
originates, purchases, sells, and services primarily conventional and government agency-backed
residential mortgage loans throughout the United States. Most of our first mortgage originations
either are insured or guaranteed by an agency of the federal government, such as the Federal
Housing Authority (FHA) or the Veterans Administration (VA) or, in the case of conventional
mortgages, meet requirements for resale to the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) or the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). We originate
mortgage loans through retail offices and through direct marketing. We also purchase mortgage loans
through mortgage brokers and loan correspondents. Our relationships with realtors, homebuilders,
brokers and correspondents help us identify potential borrowers. Irwin Mortgage also engages in the
mortgage reinsurance business through its subsidiary, Irwin Reinsurance Corporation, a Vermont
corporation. We sell mortgage loans to institutional and private investors but may retain servicing
rights to the loans we originate or purchase. Irwin Mortgage collects and accounts for the monthly
payments on each loan serviced and pays the real estate taxes and insurance necessary to protect
the integrity of the mortgage lien, for which it receives a servicing fee.
At January 31, 2005, Irwin Mortgage operated 169 production and satellite offices in 33
states. We discuss this line of business further in the Mortgage Banking section of Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) of this report.
3
Commercial Banking
Our commercial banking line of business provides credit, cash management and personal banking
products primarily 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. The commercial banking line
of business offers a full line of consumer, mortgage and commercial loans, as well as personal and
commercial checking accounts, savings and time deposit accounts, personal and business loans,
credit card services, money transfer services, financial counseling, property, casualty, life and
health insurance agency services, trust services, securities brokerage and safe deposit facilities.
This line of business operates through two charters:
|
|
|
Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company headquartered in Columbus, Indiana and organized in
1871, is a full service Indiana state-chartered commercial bank with offices currently
located throughout nine counties in central and southern Indiana, as well as in Kalamazoo,
Grandville (near Grand Rapids), Traverse City and Lansing, Michigan; Carson City and Las
Vegas, Nevada; and Salt Lake City, Utah. |
|
|
|
|
Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is a full-service
federal savings bank that began operations in December 2000. Currently we have offices
located in Clayton, Missouri (near St. Louis); Louisville, Kentucky; Milwaukee Wisconsin;
Phoenix, Arizona; and, Sacramento, California. |
In 2004, our Las Vegas and Salt Lake City branches of Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. were sold to
Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company.
We discuss this line of business further in the Commercial Banking section of the MD&A of
this report.
Home Equity Lending
We established this line of business when we formed Irwin Home Equity Corporation as our
subsidiary in 1994. It is headquartered in San Ramon, California. Irwin Home Equity became a
subsidiary of Irwin Union Bank and Trust in 2001. In conjunction with Irwin Union Bank and Trust,
Irwin Home Equity originates, purchases, securitizes and services home equity loans and lines of
credit and first mortgages nationwide. Our target customers are principally credit worthy, home
owning consumers who are active, unsecured credit card debt users. We market our home equity
products (with loan-to-value ratios up to 125%) and first mortgage refinance programs (with
loan-to-value ratios up to 100%) through direct mail, the Internet, mortgage brokers and
correspondent lenders nationwide. Irwin Home Equitys core competencies are credit risk assessment
and specialized home loan servicing.
We established Irwin Residual Holdings Corporation and Irwin Residual Holdings Corporation II
in 2001 to hold residual interests that Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company transferred to Irwin
Financial Corporation. The residual interests were created as a result of securitizations in our
home equity line of business.
We discuss this line of business further in the Home Equity Lending section of the MD&A of
this report.
Commercial Finance
Established in 1999, our commercial finance line of business originates small-ticket equipment
leases through an established North American network of vendors and third-party originators and
provides financing for franchisees of qualified quick service and casual dining restaurant concepts
in the United States. The majority of our leases are full payout (no residual), small-ticket assets
secured by commercial equipment. We finance a variety of commercial and office equipment types and
try to limit the industry and geographic concentrations in our lease and loan portfolios. Loans to
franchisees may include the financing of real estate as well as equipment.
In July 2000, the commercial finance line of business acquired an ownership of approximately
78% in Irwin Commercial Finance Canada Corporation (ICFCC), formerly Onset Capital Corporation, a
Canadian small-ticket equipment leasing company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. In
December 2001, Onset Capital established Onset Alberta Ltd. as a subsidiary to facilitate its
leasing business. In October 2001, we formed Irwin Franchise Capital Corporation to conduct our
franchise lending business. We established Irwin Commercial Finance Corporation (formerly, Irwin
Capital Holdings) in April 2001 as a subsidiary of Irwin Union Bank and Trust to serve as the
parent company for both our United States and Canadian commercial finance companies.
We discuss this line of business further in the Commercial Finance section of the MD&A of
this report.
4
Venture Capital
We re-entered the private equity business in late 1997 and established this line of business
when we formed Irwin Ventures Incorporated in August 1999. Our objective is to 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 strategies. 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.
In April 2000, Irwin Ventures established a subsidiary, Irwin Ventures Incorporated-SBIC,
which received a small business investment company license from the Small Business Administration.
In December 2000, Irwin Ventures and Irwin Ventures-SBIC became Delaware limited liability
companies. To date, the primary geographic focus of this line of business and each of our
investments has been on the corridors of the east and west coasts between Washington, D.C. and
Boston, and Palo Alto and Seattle.
Since inception we have invested $14.7 million in eight portfolio companies. However, over the
last two years we have found it more difficult to find new investments that meet our strategic
objectives and have re-directed certain personnel formerly addressing this segment. In 2004 and
2003, only $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively were invested in portfolio companies. In
addition, our growth has caused this activity to become less significant on a consolidated basis.
When the company was formed, we expected to make approximately $4 million in annual investments.
That was 2.5% of year-end 1999 common equity. We now expect that annual investments are unlikely to
exceed $2 million which would be less than 0.4% of 2004 year-end common equity.
Given the change in the materiality of this segment to consolidated results, we intend to
discontinue segment reporting for private equity with this report. When appropriate due to
materiality, we will report on financial results for private equity in the Parent and Other
segment.
Customer Base
No single part of our business is dependent upon a single customer or upon a very few
customers and the loss of any one customer would not have a materially adverse effect upon our
business.
Competition
We compete nationally in the U.S. in each business, except for commercial banking where our
market focus is in the Midwest and Rocky Mountain states, and for commercial leasing where products
are offered in the U.S. and throughout Canada. In our mortgage banking business we compete for
mortgage loans with mortgage banking companies, as well as commercial banks, savings banks, credit
unions and savings and loan associations, and with a number of nonbank companies.
In our home equity lending business, our primary competitors for our home equity loans and
lines of credit are similar to those in our mortgage banking business with the addition of large
securities firms, credit card issuers and finance companies. Competitors in our commercial banking
business include all of the above institutions.
In our venture capital line of business, we compete primarily with other venture capital firms
that invest in start-up companies.
Some of our competitors are not subject to the same degree of regulation as that imposed on
bank holding companies, state banking organizations and federal saving banks. In addition, many
larger banking organizations, mortgage companies, mortgage banks, insurance companies and
securities firms have significantly greater resources than we do. As a result, some of our
competitors have advantages over us in name recognition and market penetration.
Financial Information About Geographic Areas
We conduct part of our commercial finance line of business in Canadian markets. Net revenues
for the last three years in this line of business attributable to Canadian customers were $11.5
million, $7.9 million and $5.2 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
5
Supervision and Regulation
General
The financial services business is highly regulated, primarily for the protection of
depositors and other customers. The following is a summary of several applicable statutes and
regulations that apply to us and to our subsidiaries. These summaries are not complete, and you
should refer to the statutes and regulations for more information. Also, these statutes and
regulations may change in the future, and we cannot predict what effect these changes, if made,
will have on our operations.
We are regulated at both the holding company and subsidiary level and subject to both state
and federal regulation and examinations relating to safety and soundness, including risk
management, asset quality and capital adequacy, as well as a broad range of other regulatory
concerns including: insider transactions, the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, intercompany
transactions, regulatory reporting, adequacy of systems of internal controls and limitations on
permissible activities.
Our product and service offerings are subject to a number of consumer protection laws and
regulations. In many instances these rules contain specific requirements regarding the content and
timing of disclosures and the manner in which we must process and execute transactions. Some of
these rules provide consumers with rights and remedies, including the right to initiate private
litigation.
In addition, financial services providers are required to establish and administer a variety
of processes and programs to address other regulatory requirements, including: community
reinvestment provisions; protection of customer information; identification of suspicious
activities, including possible money laundering; proper identification of customers when performing
transactions; maintenance of information and site security; and other bank compliance provisions.
In a number of instances board and/or management oversight is required as well as employee training
on specific regulations.
Regulatory agencies have a broad range of sanctions and enforcement powers, including civil
money penalties, formal agreements, and cease and desist orders.
Bank Holding Company Regulation
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, referred
to as the BHC Act. 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.
Minimum Capital Requirements
The Federal Reserve has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for assessing bank holding
company capital adequacy. These standards define capital and establish minimum capital ratios in
relation to assets, both on an aggregate basis and as adjusted for credit risks and off-balance
sheet exposures. Under the Federal Reserves risk-based guidelines applicable to us, capital is
classified into two categories for bank holding companies:
Tier 1 capital, or core capital, consists of:
|
|
|
common stockholders equity; |
|
|
|
|
qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock; |
|
|
|
|
qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock (subject to some limitations, and
including our Trust Preferred securities, of which $164 million qualified as Tier 1 capital
as of December 31, 2004); and |
|
|
|
|
minority interests in the common equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries; |
6
|
|
|
less |
|
|
|
|
goodwill; |
|
|
|
|
credit-enhancing interest-only strips (certain amounts only); and |
|
|
|
|
specified intangible assets (including $19 million of disqualified Mortgage Servicing
Assets (MSRs) as of December 31, 2004). |
|
|
Tier 2 capital, or supplementary capital, consists of: |
|
|
|
|
allowance for loan and lease losses; |
|
|
|
|
perpetual preferred stock and related surplus; |
|
|
|
|
hybrid capital instruments (including Trust Preferred securities, of which $69 million
qualified as Tier 2 capital as of December 31, 2004); |
|
|
|
|
unrealized holding gains on equity securities; |
|
|
|
|
perpetual debt and mandatory convertible debt securities; |
|
|
|
|
term subordinated debt, including related surplus; and |
|
|
|
|
intermediate-term preferred stock, including related securities. |
The Federal Reserves capital adequacy guidelines require bank holding companies to maintain a
minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8 percent, at least 4 percent
of which must be in the form of Tier 1 capital. Risk-weighted assets include assets and credit
equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items of bank holding companies that are assigned to one of
several risk categories, based on the obligor or the nature of the collateral. The Federal Reserve
has established a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital (less any intangible capital items) to total
assets (less any intangible assets), or leverage ratio, of 3 percent for strong bank holding
companies (those rated a composite 1 under the Federal Reserves rating system). For all other
bank holding companies, the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is 4 percent. Also, the
Federal Reserve continues to consider the Tier 1 leverage ratio in evaluating proposals for
expansion or new activities.
In its capital adequacy guidelines, the Federal Reserve emphasizes that the standards
discussed above are minimums and that banking organizations generally are expected to operate well
above these minimum levels. These guidelines also state that banking organizations experiencing
growth, whether internally or through acquisitions or other expansionary initiatives, are expected
to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum levels.
As of December 31, 2004, we had regulatory capital in excess of all the Federal Reserves
minimum levels and our internal minimum target of 11% for risk-adjusted capital. Our ratio of total
capital to risk weighted assets at December 31, 2004 was 15.9% and our Tier 1 leverage ratio was
11.6%.
Expansion
The BHC Act requires prior Federal Reserve approval for certain activities, such as the
acquisition by a bank holding company of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company,
including a bank or bank holding company. Under the BHC Act, a bank holding company may engage in
activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be so closely related to banking or managing
or controlling banks as to be a proper incident to those banking activities, such as operating a
mortgage bank or a savings association, conducting leasing and venture capital investment
activities, performing trust company functions, or acting as an investment or financial advisor.
See the section on Interstate Banking and Branching below.
7
Dividends
The Federal Reserve has policies on the payment of cash dividends by bank holding companies.
The Federal Reserve believes that a bank holding company experiencing earnings weaknesses should
not pay cash dividends (1) exceeding its net income or (2) which only could be funded in ways that
would weaken a bank holding companys financial health, such as by borrowing. Also, the Federal
Reserve possesses enforcement powers over bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries to
prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of applicable statutes and regulations.
Among these powers is the ability to prohibit or limit the payment of dividends by banks (including
dividends to bank holding companies) and bank holding companies. See Dividend Limitations below.
The Federal Reserve expects us to act as a source of financial strength to our banking
subsidiaries and to commit resources to support them. In implementing this policy, the Federal
Reserve could require us to provide financial support when we otherwise would not consider
ourselves able to do so.
In addition to the restrictions on fundamental corporate actions such as acquisitions and
dividends imposed by the Federal Reserve, Indiana law also places limitations on our authority with
respect to such activities.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 comprehensively revised the laws affecting corporate
governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting for companies, including us, that have
equity or debt securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In particular, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act established: (i) new requirements for audit committees, including independence,
expertise, and responsibilities; (ii) additional responsibilities regarding financial statements
for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the reporting company; (iii) new
standards for auditors and regulation of audits; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting
obligations for the reporting company and its directors and executive officers; and (v) new and
increased civil and criminal penalties for violation of the securities laws.
Bank and Thrift Regulation
Indiana law subjects Irwin Union Bank and Trust and its subsidiaries to supervision and
examination by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. Irwin Union Bank and Trust is a
member of the Federal Reserve System and, along with its subsidiaries, is also subject to
regulation, examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve. Subsidiaries routinely subject to
examination include Irwin Mortgage, Irwin Home Equity and Irwin Commercial Finance.
Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., a direct subsidiary of the bank holding company, is a federally
chartered savings bank. Accordingly, it is governed by and subject to regulation, examination and
supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS).
The Federal Reserve also supervises Irwin Union Bank and Trusts compliance with federal law
and regulations that restrict loans by member banks to their directors, executive officers, and
other controlling persons, as well as transactions with affiliated entities. The OTS supervises
Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B,s compliance with these laws and regulations.
The deposits of Irwin Union Bank and Trust are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund and the
deposits of Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund under
the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA). As a result, Irwin Union Bank and Trust
and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. are subject to supervision and examination by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Irwin Union Bank and Trust and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. must file reports with the Federal
Reserve and the OTS, respectively, and with the FDIC concerning its activities and financial
condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals before establishing branches or entering
into certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other financial institutions.
Mortgage Banking and Residential Lending Regulation
The residential lending activities of Irwin Union Bank and Trust, the mortgage banking
activities of its subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage, and the home equity lending business of Irwin Union
Bank and Trusts subsidiary Irwin Home Equity, are regulated by the Federal Reserve. The Federal
Reserve has broad authority to oversee the banking activities of Irwin Union Bank and Trust and its
subsidiaries as the primary federal regulator of the bank, pursuant to the Federal Reserve Act, and
the nonbanking subsidiaries of Irwin Financial Corporation, pursuant to the BHC Act. Federal
Reserve regulations and policies, such as restrictions on affiliate transactions and real estate
lending policies relating to asset quality and prudent underwriting of loans, apply to our
residential lending activities. The
8
Indiana Department of Financial Institutions has comparable supervisory and examination
authority over Irwin Mortgage, Irwin Home Equity and Irwin Commercial Finance due to their status
as subsidiaries of Irwin Union Bank and Trust.
Capital Requirements
The Federal Reserve has published regulations applicable to state member banks such as Irwin
Union Bank and Trust regarding the maintenance of adequate capital substantially similar to the
capital regulations applicable to bank holding companies described in the section on Bank Holding
Company Regulation Minimum Capital Requirements. While retaining the authority to set capital
ratios for individual banks, these regulations prescribe minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1
risk-based capital and leverage (Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets) ratios. The
Federal Reserve requires banks to hold capital commensurate with the level and nature of all of the
risks, including the volume and severity of problem loans, to which they are exposed.
As with the regulations applicable to bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve requires all
state member banks to meet a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to weighted risk assets of 8
percent, of which at least 4 percent should be in the form of Tier 1 capital.
The minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets, or the leverage ratio, for strong banking
institutions (rated composite 1 under the uniform rating system of banks) is 3 percent. For all
other institutions, the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets is 4 percent. Banking
institutions with supervisory, financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses are expected to
maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels, as are institutions with high or inordinate
levels of risk. Banks experiencing or anticipating significant growth are also expected to maintain
capital, including tangible capital positions, well above the minimum levels. A majority of such
institutions generally have operated at capital levels ranging from 1 to 2 percent above the stated
minimums. Higher capital ratios could be required if warranted by the particular circumstances to
risk profiles of individual banks. The standards set forth above specify minimum supervisory ratios
based primarily on broad credit risk considerations. The risk-based ratio does not take explicit
account of the quality of individual asset portfolios or the range of other types of risks to which
banks may be exposed, such as interest rate, liquidity, market or operational risks. For this
reason, banks are generally expected to operate with capital positions above the minimum ratios.
At December 31, 2004, Irwin Union Bank and Trust had a total risk-based capital ratio of
14.6%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.0%, and a leverage ratio of 11.3%.
The Federal Reserve, the OTS, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies also adopted a rule
modifying the risk-based capital standards to provide for consideration of interest rate risk when
assessing capital adequacy of a bank or savings association. Under this rule, the Federal Reserve,
the OTS and the FDIC must explicitly include a bank or savings associations exposure to declines
in the economic value of their capital due to changes in interest rates as a factor in evaluating
capital adequacy of a bank or savings association. This assessment of interest rate risk management
made by the banks examiners is incorporated into the banks overall risk management rating and
used to determine managements effectiveness.
Insurance of Deposit Accounts
As FDIC-insured institutions, Irwin Union Bank and Trust and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. are
required to pay deposit insurance premiums based on the risk they pose to the Bank Insurance Fund
(BIF) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), respectively. Currently, the amount of
FDIC assessments paid by an insured depository institution ranges from zero to $0.27 per $100 of
insured deposits, based on the institutions relative risk to the deposit insurance funds, as
measured by the institutions regulatory capital position and other supervisory factors. The FDIC
also has the authority to raise or lower assessment rates on insured deposits to achieve the
statutorily required reserve ratios in insurance funds and to impose special additional
assessments.
In addition to deposit insurance fund assessments, the FDIC assesses both BIF and SAIF insured
deposits a special assessment to fund the repayment of debt obligations of the Financing
Corporation (FICO). FICO is a government-sponsored entity that was formed to borrow the money
necessary to carry out the closing and ultimate disposition of failed thrift institutions by the
Resolution Trust Corporation. At December 31, 2004, the annualized rate established by the FDIC for
the FICO assessment on both BIF and SAIF deposits was 1.46 basis points per $100 of insured
deposits.

Dividend Limitations
As a state member bank, Irwin Union Bank and Trust may not, without the approval of the
Federal Reserve, declare a dividend if the total of all dividends declared in a calendar year,
including the proposed dividend, exceeds the total of its net income for that year, combined with
its retained net income of the preceding two years, less any required transfers to the surplus
account. Under Indiana law, certain dividends require notice to, or approval by, the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions, and Irwin Union Bank and Trust may not pay dividends in an
amount greater than its net profits then available, after deducting losses and bad debts.
In most cases, savings and loan associations, such as Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., are required
either to apply to or to provide notice to the OTS regarding the payment of dividends. The savings
association must seek approval if it does not qualify for expedited treatment under OTS
regulations, or if the total amount of all capital distributions for the applicable calendar year
exceeds net income for that year to date plus retained net income for the preceding two years, or
the savings association would not be adequately capitalized following the dividend, or the proposed
dividend would violate a prohibition in any statute, regulation or agreement with the OTS. In other
circumstances, a simple notice is sufficient.
Our ability and the ability of Irwin Union Bank and Trust and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. to pay
dividends also may be affected by the various capital requirements and the capital and noncapital
standards established under the FDICIA, as described above. Our rights and the rights of our
shareholders and our creditors to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of our
subsidiaries also is subject to the prior claims of creditors of our subsidiaries including the
depositors of a bank subsidiary.
Interstate Banking and Branching
Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the Interstate
Banking Act), banks are permitted, subject to being adequately or better capitalized, in compliance
with Community Reinvestment Act requirements and in compliance with state law requirements (such as
age-of-bank limits and deposit caps), to merge with one another across state lines and to create a
main bank with branches in separate states. After establishing branches in a state through an
interstate merger transaction, a bank may establish and acquire additional branches at any location
in the state where any bank involved in the interstate merger could have established or acquired
branches under applicable federal and state law.
As a federally chartered savings bank, Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. has greater flexibility in
pursuing interstate branching than an Indiana state bank. Subject to certain exceptions, a federal
savings association generally may establish or operate a branch in any state outside the state of
its home office if the association meets applicable statutory requirements.
Community Reinvestment
Under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), banking and thrift institutions have a continuing
and affirmative obligation, consistent with their safe and sound operation, to help meet the credit
needs of their entire communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. The CRA does
not establish specific lending requirements or programs for financial institutions, or limit an
institutions discretion to develop the types of products and services it believes are best suited
to its particular community that are consistent with the CRA. Institutions are rated on their
performance in meeting the needs of their communities. Performance is tested in three areas: (a)
lending, which evaluates the institutions record of making loans in its assessment areas; (b)
investment, which evaluates the institutions record of investing in community development
projects, affordable housing and programs benefiting low or moderate income individuals and
business; and (c) service, which evaluates the institutions delivery of services through its
branches, ATMs and other activities. The CRA requires each federal banking agency, in connection
with its examination of a financial institution, to assess and assign one of four ratings to the
institutions record of meeting the credit needs of its community and to take this record into
account in evaluating certain applications by the institution, including applications for charters,
branches and other deposit facilities, relocations, mergers, consolidations, acquisitions of assets
or assumptions of liabilities, and savings and loan holding company acquisitions. The CRA also
requires that all institutions publicly disclose their CRA ratings. Both Irwin Union Bank and Trust
and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. received a satisfactory rating on their most recent CRA performance
evaluations.
Other Safety and Soundness Regulations
Under current law, the federal banking agencies possess broad powers to take prompt
corrective action in connection with depository institutions and their bank holding companies that
do not meet minimum capital requirements. The law establishes five capital categories for insured
depository institutions for this purpose: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. To be
considered well-capitalized under these standards, an institution must maintain a total
risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater; a
leverage capital ratio of 5% or greater; and not be subject to any order or written directive to
meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An adequately capitalized
institution must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 4%, a total capital ratio of at least
10
8% and a leverage ratio of at least 4%. Federal law also requires the bank regulatory agencies
to implement systems for prompt corrective action for institutions that fail to meet minimum
capital requirements within the five capital categories, with progressively more severe
restrictions on operations, management and capital distributions according to the category in which
an institution is placed. Failure to meet capital requirements can also cause an institution to be
directed to raise additional capital. Federal law also mandates that the agencies adopt safety and
soundness standards relating generally to operations and management, asset quality and executive
compensation, and authorizes administrative action against an institution that fails to meet such
standards.
Brokered Deposits
Brokered deposits include funds obtained, directly or indirectly, by or through a deposit
broker for deposit into one or more deposit accounts. Well-capitalized institutions are not subject
to limitations on brokered deposits, while an adequately capitalized institution is able to accept,
renew or rollover brokered deposits only with a waiver from the FDIC and subject to certain
restrictions on the yield paid on such deposits. Undercapitalized institutions are not permitted to
accept brokered deposits. Irwin Union Bank and Trust and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. are permitted to
accept brokered deposits.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
In 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the GLB Act) amended or repealed certain provisions of
the Glass-Steagall Act and other legislation that restricted the ability of bank holding companies,
securities firms and insurance companies to affiliate with one another. The GLB Act established a
comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies and
securities firms. The GLB Act also contains provisions intended to safeguard consumer financial
information in the hands of financial service providers by, among other things, requiring these
entities to share their privacy policies with their customers and allowing customers to opt out
of having their financial service providers disclose their confidential financial information with
non-affiliated third parties, subject to certain exceptions. Financial privacy regulations
implementing the GLB provisions contain specific provisions on the treatment and safeguarding of
confidential financial information. To the extent the GLB Act permits banks, securities firms and
insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further
consolidation. This consolidation could result in a growing number of larger financial institutions
that offer a wider variety of financial services than we currently offer and that can aggressively
compete in the markets we currently serve.
Anti-Money Laundering Laws
Irwin Union Bank and Trust and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. are subject to the Bank Secrecy Act
and its implementing regulations and other anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including
the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. Among other things, these laws and regulations require Irwin Union
Bank and Trust and Irwin Union Bank F.S.B to take steps to prevent the use of each institution for
facilitating the flow of illegal or illicit money, to report large currency transactions and to
file suspicious activity reports. Each bank also is required to develop and implement a
comprehensive anti-money laundering compliance program. Banks also must have in place appropriate
know your customer policies and procedures. Violations of these requirements can result in
substantial civil and criminal sanctions. In addition, provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act require
the federal financial institution regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial
institutions anti-money laundering activities when reviewing bank mergers and bank holding company
acquisitions.
Compliance with Consumer Protection Laws
Our subsidiaries also are subject to many federal and state consumer protection statutes and
regulations including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Truth in Lending
Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the Home Mortgage
Disclosure Act. Among other things, these acts:
|
|
|
require lenders to disclose credit terms in meaningful and consistent ways; |
|
|
|
|
prohibit discrimination against an applicant in any consumer or business credit transaction; |
|
|
|
|
prohibit discrimination in housing-related lending activities; |
|
|
|
|
require certain lenders to collect and report applicant and borrower data regarding loans
for home purchases or improvement projects; |
|
|
|
|
require lenders to provide borrowers with information regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements; |
|
|
|
|
prohibit certain lending practices and limit escrow account amounts with respect to real estate transactions; and |
11
|
|
|
prescribe possible penalties for violations of the requirements of consumer protection statutes and regulations. |
In addition, banking subsidiaries are subject to a number of regulations that offer consumer
protections to depositors, including account terms and disclosures, funds availability and
electronic funds transfers.
Equal Credit Opportunity Act
The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits discrimination against an applicant in any
credit transaction, whether for consumer or business purposes, on the basis of race, color,
religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (except in limited circumstances), receipt of
income from public assistance programs or good faith exercise of any rights under the Consumer
Credit Protection Act. In addition to prohibiting outright discrimination on any of the
impermissible bases listed above, an effects test has been applied to determine whether a
violation of the act has occurred. This means that if a creditors actions have had the effect of
discriminating, the creditor may be held liable, even when there is no intent to discriminate. In
addition to actual damages, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act permits regulatory agencies to take
enforcement action and provides for punitive damages. Successful complainants also may be entitled
to an award of court costs and attorneys fees.
Fair Housing Act
The federal Fair Housing Act regulates many lending practices, including prohibiting
discrimination in a lenders housing-related lending activities against any person because of race,
color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap or familial status. The Fair Housing Act is broadly
written and has been broadly interpreted by the courts. A number of lending practices have been
found to be, or may be considered, illegal under the Fair Housing Act, including some that are not
specifically mentioned in the act itself. Among those practices that have been found to be, or may
be considered, illegal under the Fair Housing Act are declining a loan for the purposes of racial
discrimination, making excessively low appraisals of property based on racial considerations and
pressuring, discouraging, or denying applications for credit on a prohibited basis.
The Fair Housing Act allows a person who believes he or she has been discriminated against to
file a complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Aggrieved persons also
may initiate a civil action. The Fair Housing Act also permits the Attorney General of the United
States to commence a civil action if there is reasonable cause to believe that a person has been
discriminated against in violation of the Fair Housing Act. Penalties for violation of the Fair
Housing Act include actual damages suffered by the aggrieved person and injunctive or other
equitable relief. The courts also may assess civil penalties.
Home Mortgage Disclosure Act
The federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act grew out of public concern over the availability of
credit in certain urban neighborhoods. One purpose of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act is to
provide public information that will help show whether financial institutions are serving the
housing credit needs of the neighborhoods and communities in which they are located. The Home
Mortgage Disclosure Act also includes a fair lending aspect that requires the collection and
disclosure of data about applicant and borrower characteristics as a way of identifying possible
discriminatory lending patterns and enforcing anti-discrimination statutes. The Home Mortgage
Disclosure Act requires institutions to report data regarding applications for loans for the
purchase or improvement of one-to-four family and multifamily dwellings, as well as information
concerning originations and purchases of such loans. Federal bank regulators rely, in part, upon
data provided under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act to determine whether depository institutions
engage in discriminatory lending practices.
The appropriate federal banking agency (that is, the Federal Reserve for Irwin Union Bank and
Trust and the OTS for Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B.), or in some cases, HUD, enforces compliance with
the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and implements its regulations. Administrative sanctions,
including civil money penalties, may be imposed by supervisory agencies for violations of this act.
12
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act
The federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), requires lenders to provide
borrowers with disclosures regarding the nature and cost of real estate settlements. RESPA also
prohibits certain abusive practices, such as kickbacks, and places limitations on the amount of
escrow accounts. Violations of RESPA may result in imposition of penalties, including: (1) civil
liability equal to three times the amount of any charge paid for the settlement services or civil
liability of up to $1,000 per claimant, depending on the violation; (2) awards of court costs and
attorneys fees; and (3) fines of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than one year,
or both. A significant number of individual claims and purported consumer class action claims have
been commenced against financial institutions and other mortgage lending companies, including Irwin
Mortgage, alleging violations of the prohibition against kickbacks and seeking civil damages, court
costs and attorneys fees. See the Legal Proceedings section of this report.
Truth in Lending Act
The federal Truth in Lending Act is designed to ensure that credit terms are disclosed in a
meaningful way so that consumers may compare credit terms more readily and knowledgeably. As a
result of the act, all creditors must use the same credit terminology and expressions of rates, the
annual percentage rate, the finance charge, the amount financed, the total of payments and the
payment schedule.
Violations of the Truth in Lending Act may result in regulatory sanctions and in the
imposition of both civil and, in the case of willful violations, criminal penalties. Under certain
circumstances, the Truth in Lending Act and Federal Reserve Regulation Z also provide a consumer
with a right of rescission, which relieves the consumer of the obligation to pay amounts to the
creditor or to a third party in connection with the offending transaction, including finance
charges, application fee, commitment fees, title search fees and appraisal fees. Consumers may also
seek actual and punitive damages for violations in the Truth in Lending Act. See the Legal
Proceedings section of this report.
State Consumer Protection Laws
In addition to the federal consumer protection laws discussed above, our subsidiaries are also
subject to state consumer protection laws that regulate the mortgage origination and lending
businesses of these subsidiaries. As part of the home equity line of business in conjunction with
its subsidiary, Irwin Home Equity, Irwin Union Bank and Trust originates home equity loans through
its branch in Carson City, Nevada. Irwin Union Bank and Trust uses interest rates and loan terms in
its home equity loans and lines of credit that are authorized by Nevada law, but might not be
authorized by the laws of the states in which the borrowers are located. As a FDIC-insured, state
member bank, Irwin Union Bank and Trust is authorized by Section 27 of the FDIA to charge interest
at rates allowed by the laws of the state where the bank is located regardless of any inconsistent
state law, and to apply these rates to loans to borrowers in other states. The FDIC has opined that
a state bank with branches outside of the state in which it is chartered may also be located in a
state in which it maintains an interstate branch. Irwin Union Bank and Trust relies on Section 27
of the FDIA and the FDIC opinion in conducting its home equity lending business described above.
From time to time, state regulators have questioned the application of Section 27 of the FDIA to
credit practices affecting citizens of their states. Any change in Section 27 of the FDIA or in the
FDICs interpretation of this provision, or any successful challenge as to the permissibility of
these activities, could require that we change the terms of some of our loans or the manner in
which we conduct our home equity line of business.
Employees and Labor Relations
At January 31, 2005, we and our subsidiaries had a total of 3,145 employees, including
full-time and part-time employees. We continue a commitment of equal employment opportunity for all

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Culpepper v. Inland Mortgage Corporation
Our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation (formerly Inland 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.
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.
15
United States ex rel. Paranich v. Sorgnard et al.
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. On August 10, 2001, the court dismissed Irwin Financial and Irwin Equipment
Finance as defendants in the suit. 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 heard oral argument on plaintiffs appeal on September 27, 2004. On January 28, 2005,
the court of appeals affirmed the district courts dismissal of plaintiffs action. The period for
which the plaintiff can petition the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari expires
on April 28, 2005.
McIntosh v. Irwin Home Equity Corporation
Our subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, was a defendant in a class action lawsuit
filed in the United States District Court in Massachusetts in July 2001. The case involved loans
purchased by Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company from an unaffiliated third-party originator. The
plaintiffs alleged 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 sought 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.
The parties settled this matter for a nonmaterial amount. The court dismissed the lawsuit with
prejudice on December 16, 2004.
Stamper v. A Home of Your Own
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. Irwin Mortgage petitioned the Maryland Court of
Appeals for a writ of certiorari on April 12, 2004. The Court of Appeals granted Irwin Mortgages
petition and heard oral argument on November 4, 2004. On February 4, 2005, the Court of Appeals
affirmed in part and reversed in part the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals, remanding the
case as follows: to modify the judgment for all plaintiffs by striking the award of $145,000 for
non-economic damages; for further proceedings concerning one plaintiff as to non-economic damages;
and for a new trial as to punitive damages. We have reserved for this case based upon the advice of
our legal counsel.
Silke v. Irwin Mortgage Corporation
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 June 18, 2004, the court certified a plaintiff class consisting of Indiana borrowers who
were allegedly charged the fee by Irwin Mortgage any time after April 17, 1997. This date was later
clarified by stipulation of the parties to be April 14, 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.

Gutierrez v. Irwin Mortgage Corporation
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 alleged 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
sought to certify a class consisting of similarly situated borrowers. In August 2004, the
plaintiffs amended their complaint to remove the allegations that Irwin Mortgage charged excess
fees. After a period of discovery, the parties settled this case for a nonmaterial amount.
Cohens v. Inland Mortgage Corporation
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 March 31, 2005. 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.
Litigation in Connection with Loans Purchased from Community Bank of Northern Virginia
Our subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, is a defendant in several actions in
connection with loans Irwin Union Bank purchased from Community Bank of Northern Virginia
(Community).
Hobson v. Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company was filed on July 30, 2004 in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. As amended on August 30, 2004, the Hobson
complaint, seeks certification of both a plaintiffs and a defendants class, the plaintiffs class
to consist of all persons who obtained loans from Community and whose loans were purchased by Irwin
Union Bank. Hobson alleges that defendants violated the Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA), the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). On October 12, 2004, Irwin filed a
motion to dismiss the Hobson claims as untimely filed and substantively defective.
Kossler v. Community Bank of Northern Virginia was originally filed in July 2002 in the United
States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Irwin Union Bank and Trust was
added as a defendant in December 2004. The Kossler complaint seeks certification of a plaintiffs
class and seeks to void the mortgage loans as illegal contracts. Plaintiffs also seek recovery
against Irwin for alleged RESPA violations and for conversion.
The plaintiffs in Hobson and Kossler claim that Community was allegedly engaged in a lending
arrangement involving the use of its charter by certain third parties who charged high fees that
were not representative of the services rendered and not properly disclosed as to the amount or
recipient of the fees. The loans in question are allegedly high cost/high interest loans under
Section 32 of HOEPA. Plaintiffs also allege illegal kickbacks and fee splitting. In Hobson, the
plaintiffs allege that Irwin was aware of Communitys alleged arrangement when Irwin purchased the
loans and that Irwin participated in a RICO enterprise and conspiracy related to the loans. Because
Irwin bought the loans from Community, the Hobson plaintiffs are alleging that Irwin has assignee
liability under HOEPA.
If the Hobson and Kossler plaintiffs are successful in establishing a class and prevailing at
trial, possible RESPA remedies could include treble damages for each service for which there was an
unearned fee, kickback or overvalued service. Other possible damages in Hobson could include TILA
remedies, such as rescission, actual damages, statutory damages not to exceed the lesser of
$500,000 or 1% of the net worth of the creditor, and attorneys fees and costs; possible HOEPA
remedies could include the refunding of all closing costs, finance charges and fees paid by the
borrower; RICO remedies could include treble plaintiffs actually proved damages. In addition, the
Hobson plaintiffs are seeking unspecified punitive damages. Under TILA, HOEPA, RESPA and RICO,
statutory remedies include recovery of attorneys fees and costs. Other possible damages in Kossler
could include the refunding of all origination fees paid by the plaintiffs.
Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company is also a defendant, along with Community, in two
individual actions (Chatfield v. Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, et al. and Ransom v. Irwin
Union Bank and Trust Company, et al.) filed on June 9, 2004 in the Circuit Court of Frederick
County, Maryland, involving mortgage loans Irwin Union Bank purchased from Community. On July 16,
2004, both of these lawsuits were removed to the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland. The complaints allege that the plaintiffs did not receive disclosures required under
HOEPA and TILA. The lawsuits also allege violations of Maryland law
17
because the plaintiffs were allegedly charged or contracted for a prepayment penalty fee.
Irwin believes the plaintiffs received the required disclosures and that Community, a
Virginia-chartered bank, was permitted to charge prepayment fees to Maryland borrowers. Under the
loan purchase agreements between Irwin and Community, Irwin has the right to demand repurchase of
the mortgage loans and to seek indemnification from Community for the claims in these lawsuits.
Under the loan purchase agreement between Irwin and Community, Irwin has the right to demand
repurchase of the mortgage loans and indemnification from Community for these claims. On September
17, 2004, Irwin made a demand for indemnification and a defense to Hobson, Chatfield and Ransom.
Community denied this request as premature.
On December 22, 2004, Irwin filed a motion with the Judicial Panel On Multidistrict Litigation
requesting a transfer of Hobson, Chatfield and Ransom to the Western District of Pennsylvania for
coordinated or consolidated proceedings with the Kossler action. That motion was accepted by the
Panel, and plaintiffs filed a motion in opposition.
At this early stage, we are unable to form a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential
loss, if any, that Irwin could suffer. We have established a reserve for the Community litigation
based upon the advice of legal counsel.
Litigation Related to NorVergence, Inc.
Irwin Business Finance, our indirect subsidiary, is involved on a national basis in equipment
leasing finance and maintains a diverse portfolio of leases, including leases in the
telecommunications field. A portion of Irwins telecommunications portfolio involves leases of
equipment acquired from NorVergence, Inc., a New Jersey-based telecommunications company. After
assigning leases to Irwin and other lenders, NorVergence became a debtor in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy,
which is currently pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey. The sudden failure
of NorVergence left many of its customers without telecommunications service. These customers
became very angry when commitments made to them by NorVergence went unfulfilled.
Complaints by former NorVergence customers have led to investigations by the Attorneys General
of several states and the filing of a number of lawsuits. Irwin Business Finance has been named as
a defendant in several lawsuits connected with NorVergence. Exquisite Caterers, LLC et al. v.
Popular Leasing et al. is a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Monmouth County, and
was amended to include Irwin Business Finance and others on September 1, 2004. The Exquisite
Caterers plaintiffs seek certification of a class of persons who leased network computer equipment
from NorVergence, whose leases were assigned to defendants. The complaint alleges that NorVergence
misrepresented the services and equipment provided, that the lessees were defrauded and the lease
agreements should not be enforced. The action alleges violations of, among other things, the New
Jersey Consumer Fraud Act; the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty, and Notice Act; the
FTC Holder Rule; the FTC Act; and breach of contract and implied warranties. The plaintiffs seek
compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief, including rescission of the
leases and cessation of collections.
Irwin Business Finance was also named as a defendant, along with other lenders, in Delanco
Board of Education et al. v. IFC Credit Corporation, a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of New
Jersey, Essex County, Chancery Division, in October 2004 in connection with leases assigned to the
lenders by NorVergence. (IFC Credit Corporation is not affiliated with Irwin Financial Corporation
or Irwin Business Finance.) The suit involved more than one thousand plaintiffs and alleged fraud,
misrepresentation and violations of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud law based on alleged conduct
similar to that in Exquisite Caterers, with the addition of a count under the New Jersey RICO
statute. Plaintiffs also alleged unjust enrichment and conversion and sought rescission of the
leases plus punitive and other damages. After failing in an attempt to obtain a temporary
injunction, the plaintiffs agreed to withdraw the complaint filed in the Superior Court and have
now commenced actions in the NorVergence bankruptcy proceeding, seeking similar relief.
Irwin Business Finance was also named as a defendant, along with other lenders, in Sterling
Asset & Equity Corp. et al. v. Preferred Capital, Inc. et al., an action filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Florida in October 2004, which was voluntarily
dismissed in January 2005. The plaintiffs then filed a similar complaint in the Circuit Court of
the 11th Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade County, Florida on January 14, 2005 seeking class
certification on behalf of Florida persons or entities who leased equipment from NorVergence and
whose agreement was assigned to one of the named lenders. The plaintiffs allege that NorVergence
engaged in false, misleading and deceptive sales and billing practices. The complaint alleges
violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, the FTC Holder Rule, and breach
of contract and warranties. Plaintiffs seek, among other relief, compensatory and punitive damages,
injunctive and/or declaratory relief prohibiting enforcement of the leases, rescission, return of
payments, interest, attorneys fees and costs.
In addition, Irwin Business Finance has been named in several individual lawsuits involving
equipment and services leased from NorVergence, where the lease was assigned to Irwin Business
Finance. The suits allege fraud and nonfunctional equipment and services. The plaintiffs request
rescission, restitution and/or reformation of the leases and/or a declaration of unenforceability.
These
18
suits were filed in the following jurisdictions: two actions in the District Court of Dallas
County, Texas (July 2004 and October 2004); one action in the Superior Court of California, County
of San Diego (August 2004); and one in the Superior Court of Massachusetts (September 2004). All
but the Massachusetts action have been resolved by agreements under which the lessees have paid a
significant portion of their lease obligations.
In connection with investigations by various state attorneys general, Irwin Business Finance
and other lenders were asked to produce information about their relationships with NorVergence and
to refrain from enforcing NorVergence leases. On October 21, 2004, the Attorney General of Florida
filed a complaint against twelve lenders, including Irwin Business Finance, in the Circuit Court of
the Second Judicial Circuit, Leon County, Florida (State of Florida v. Commerce Commercial Leasing,
LLC et al.). The complaint alleges that the agreements assigned by NorVergence to the lenders are
unconscionable under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The suit seeks to
prohibit collection activities by the lenders and asks for repayment of revenues, rescission of the
agreements, restitution, recovery of actual damages, and civil money penalties. Prosecution of this
suit against Irwin Business Finance has been stayed by agreement of the parties while they discuss
resolution of the concerns expressed by the Florida Attorney General.
Irwin Business Finance was among a number of lenders to receive a notice of intent to sue from
the Attorney General of New York. In January 2005, Irwin Business Finance reached an agreement with
the New York Attorney General in connection with the five NorVergence-related leases Irwin Business
Finance has with New York lessees. The agreement calls for, among other provisions, forgiveness of
90% of the remaining principal balance due on the leases as of July 15, 2004 (approximately
$116,000). Irwin Business Finance is also communicating with other state attorneys general about
ways in which Irwin Business Finance might work with the states to bring some relief to those who
have suffered as a result of the failure of NorVergence.
We are unable to form a reasonable estimate of potential loss, if any, that Irwin Business
Finance could suffer as a result of ongoing litigation. Agreements with the various state attorneys
general, if reached, would tend to decrease damages awarded, if any, in NorVergence-related class
actions and other lawsuits because lessees who accept such agreements would normally cease to be
among potential class action plaintiffs. We have not established reserves in connection with
NorVergence-related litigation.
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 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 under SFAS 5, based in part
upon the advice of legal counsel.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
During the fourth quarter of 2004, no matters were submitted to a vote of our security
holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

We expect to continue our policy of paying regular cash dividends, although there is no
assurance as to future dividends because they are dependent on future earnings, capital
requirements, and financial condition. On February 10, 2005, our Board of Directors approved an
increase in the first quarter dividend to $0.10 per share, payable in March 2005. Dividends paid by
Irwin Union Bank and Trust and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. to the Corporation are restricted by
banking law.
Sales of Unregistered Securities:
In 2004, we issued 5,955 shares of common stock pursuant to elections made by eight of our
outside directors to receive board compensation under the 1999 Outside Director Restricted Stock
Compensation Plan in lieu of cash fees. All of these shares were issued in reliance on the private
placement exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
About Forward-looking Statements
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements, footnotes, and tables. This discussion and other sections of this report contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend such forward-looking statements to be
covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this statement for purposes of invoking
these safe harbor provisions.
Forward-looking statements are based on managements expectations, estimates, projections, and
assumptions. These statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties that are difficult to
predict and are not guarantees of future performance. In addition, our past results of operations
do not necessarily indicate our future results. Words that convey our beliefs, expectations,
assumptions, estimates, forecasts, outlook and projections or similar language, or that indicate
events we believe could, would, should, may or will occur (or might not occur) or are likely (or
unlikely) to occur, and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These may include, among other things, statements and assumptions about:
|
|
|
our projected revenues, earnings or earnings per share, as well as managements
short-term and long-term performance goals; |
|
|
|
|
projected trends or potential changes in our asset quality, loan delinquencies, asset
valuations, capital ratios or financial performance measures; |
|
|
|
|
our plans and strategies, including the expected results or impact of implementing such plans and strategies; |
|
|
|
|
potential litigation developments and the anticipated impact of potential outcomes of pending legal matters; |
|
|
|
|
the anticipated effects on results of operations or financial condition from recent developments or events; |
|
|
|
|
any other projections or expressions that are not historical facts. |
Actual future results may differ materially from what is projected due to a variety of factors,
including, but not limited to:
|
|
|
potential changes in and volatility of interest rates, which may affect consumer demand
for our products and the management and success of our interest rate risk management
strategies; |
|
|
|
|
staffing fluctuations in response to product demand; |
|
|
|
|
the relative profitability of our lending operations; |
|
|
|
|
the valuation and management of our servicing portfolios, including short-term swings in
valuation of such portfolios due to quarter-end secondary market interest rates, which are
inherently volatile; |
|
|
|
|
borrowers refinancing opportunities, which may affect the prepayment assumptions used in
our valuation estimates and which may affect loan demand; |
|
|
|
|
unanticipated deterioration in the credit quality of our assets; |
22
|
|
|
deterioration in the carrying value of our other assets, including securities; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in delivering products to the secondary market as planned; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in expanding our businesses or raising capital and other funding sources as needed; |
|
|
|
|
competition from other financial service providers for experienced managers as well as for customers; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the value of companies in which we invest; |
|
|
|
|
changes in variable compensation plans related to the performance and valuation of lines
of business where we tie compensation systems to line-of-business performance; |
|
|
|
|
unanticipated outcomes in litigation; |
|
|
|
|
legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in tax laws or regulations, changes
in the interpretation of regulatory capital rules, changes in consumer or commercial lending
rules or rules affecting corporate governance, and the availability of resources to address
these rules; |
|
|
|
|
changes in applicable accounting policies or principles or their application to our business; |
|
|
|
|
or governmental changes in monetary or fiscal policies. |
We undertake no obligation to update publicly any of these statements in light of future
events, except as required in subsequent periodic reports we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
Strategy
Our strategy is to maintain a diverse and balanced revenue stream by focusing on niches in
financial services where we believe we can optimize the productivity of our capital and where our
experience and expertise can provide a competitive advantage. Our operational objectives are
premised on simultaneously achieving three goals: creditworthiness, profitability and growth. We
believe we must continually balance these goals in order to deliver long-term value to all of our
stakeholders. We have developed a four-part strategy to meet these goals:
|
|
|
Identify underserved niches. We focus on product or market niches in financial services
that we believe are underserved and where we believe customers are willing to pay a premium
for value-added services. We dont believe it is necessary to be the largest or leading
market share company in any of our product lines, but we do believe it is important that we
are viewed as a preferred provider in niche segments of those product offerings. |
|
|
|
|
Hire exceptional management with niche expertise. We enter niches only when we have
attracted senior managers who have proven track records in the niche for which they are
responsible. Each of our five lines of business has a separate management team that operates
as an independent business unit responsible for performance goals specific to that
particular line of business. Our structure allows the senior managers of each line of
business to focus their efforts on understanding their customers and meeting the needs of
the markets they serve. This structure also promotes accountability among managers of each
enterprise. The senior managers at each of our lines of business and at the parent company
have significant industry experience. We attempt to create a mix of short-term and long-term
incentives (including, in some instances, minority interests in the line of business) that
provide these managers with the incentive to achieve creditworthy, profitable growth over
the long term. |
|
|
|
|
Diversify capital and earnings risk. We diversify our revenues and allocate our capital
across complementary lines of business as a key part of our risk management. Our lines of
business are cyclical, but when combined in an appropriate mix, we believe they provide
sources of diversification and opportunities for growth in a variety of economic conditions.
For example, both the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans are very
cyclical businesses, which normally respond in opposite ways to changes in interest rates
and show generally opposite effects in certain economic environments. We believe our
participation in these markets has been profitable over time due to our dedication to
participating in both segments of the mortgage banking business, rather than one or the
other. |
|
|
|
|
Reinvest in new opportunities. We reinvest on an ongoing basis in the development of new
and existing opportunities. As a result of our attention to long-term value creation, we
believe it is important at times to dampen short-term earnings growth by investing for
future return. We are biased toward seeking new growth through organic expansion of existing
lines of business. |
23
|
|
|
At times we will initiate a new line through a start-up, with highly qualified managers we
select to focus on a single line of business. Over the past ten years, we have made only a few
acquisitions. Those have typically not been in competitive bidding situations. |
We believe our historical growth and profitability is the result of our endeavors to pursue
complementary consumer and commercial lending niches through our bank holding company structure,
our experienced management, our diverse product and geographic markets, and our willingness and
ability to align the compensation structure of each of our lines of business with the interests of
our stakeholders. Through various economic environments and cycles, we have had a relatively stable
revenue and earnings stream on a consolidated basis generated primarily through internal growth
rather than acquisitions.
Critical Accounting Policies/Management Judgments and Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of our financial statements and are based upon our
current judgments. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their
significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events
affecting them may differ from our current judgments or that our use of different assumptions could
result in materially different estimates. The following is a description of the critical accounting
policies we apply to material financial statement items, all of which require the use of accounting
estimates and/or judgment:
Valuation of Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at the lower of their allocated cost basis or fair
value and a valuation allowance is recorded for any stratum that is impaired. We estimate the fair
value of the servicing assets each month using a cash flow model to project future expected cash
flows based upon a set of valuation assumptions we believe market participants would use for
similar assets. The primary assumptions we use for valuing our mortgage servicing assets include
prepayment speeds, default rates, cost to service and discount rates. We review these assumptions
on a regular basis to ensure that they remain consistent with current market conditions.
Additionally, we periodically receive third party estimates of the portfolio value from independent
valuation firms. Inaccurate assumptions in valuing mortgage servicing rights could result in
additional impairment and inappropriate hedging decisions and could adversely affect our results of
operations. We also review mortgage servicing rights for other-than-temporary impairment each
quarter and recognize a direct write-down when the recoverability of a recorded valuation allowance
is determined to be remote. Unlike a valuation allowance, a direct write-down permanently reduces
the unamortized cost of the mortgage servicing rights asset and the valuation allowance, precluding
subsequent reversals. See footnote 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further
discussion.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) reflects our estimate of the adequacy of
reserves needed to cover probable loan and lease losses and certain risks inherent in our loan
portfolio. The ALLL 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.
In determining a proper level of loss reserves, management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance
on a quarterly basis based on our past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio, levels of delinquencies, adverse situations that may affect a borrowers ability to
repay, trends in volume and terms of loans and leases, estimated value of any underlying
collateral, changes in underwriting standards, changes in credit concentrations, and current
economic and industry conditions.
Within the allowance, there are specific and expected loss components. The specific loss
component is assessed for loans we believe to be impaired under SFAS 114. We have defined
impairment as nonaccrual loans. For loans determined to be impaired, we measure the level of
impairment by comparing the loans carrying value to fair value using one of the following fair
value measurement techniques: present value of expected future cash flows, observable market price,
or fair value of the associated collateral. An allowance is established when the fair value implies
a value that is lower than the carrying value. In addition to establishing allowance levels for
specifically identified impaired loans, management determines an allowance for all other loans in
the portfolio for which historical experience and/or expected performance indicates that certain
losses will occur. These loans are segregated by major product type, and in some instances, by
aging, with an estimated loss ratio applied against each product type and aging category. The loss
ratio is generally based upon historic loss experience for each loan type as adjusted for certain
environmental factors management believes to be relevant. Loans and leases that are determined by
management to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. The allowance is increased by
provisions against income and recoveries of loans and leases previously charged off. See the
Credit Risk section of Managements Discussion and Analysis and footnote 7 to the consolidated
financial statements for further discussion.
In addition to the ALLL, at our mortgage banking segment we record a reserve for potential
losses resulting from origination errors. Such errors include inaccurate appraisals, errors in
underwriting, and ineligibility for inclusion in loan programs of
24
government-sponsored entities which relieve us of future credit losses. In determining reserve
levels for origination errors, we estimate the number of loans with such errors, the year in which
the loss will occur, and the severity of the loss upon occurrence applied to an average loan
amount. Inaccurate assumptions in setting this reserve could result in changes in future reserves.
Valuation of Residual Interests
Residual interests from securitizations treated as sales under SFAS No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, are classified as
trading assets and as such, we record them at fair value on the balance sheet. We record the
changes in fair value of these residuals as trading gains or losses in our statement of income in
the period of change. We use a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of these
residuals. Cash flows are projected over the lives of the residuals using prepayment, default, and
interest rate assumptions that we believe market participants would use for similar financial
instruments. Inaccurate assumptions in valuing residual interests could result in additional
impairment and adversely affect our results of operations. We have not created these types of
residuals since early 2002. See footnote 4 to the consolidated financial statements for further
discussion.
Accounting for Deferred Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the
time income or expense items are recognized for book purposes and in our tax return. We make this
measurement using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse. We recognize deferred tax assets based on estimates of future
taxable income. Events may occur in the future that could cause the realizability of these deferred
tax assets to be in doubt, requiring the need for a valuation allowance.
Incentive Servicing Fees
For whole loan sales of certain home equity loans, in addition to our normal servicing fee, we
have the right to an incentive servicing fee (ISF) that will provide cash payments to us if a
pre-established return for the certificate holders and certain structure-specific loan credit and
servicing performance metrics are met. These ISF arrangements are accounted for in accordance with
SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities. When ISF agreements are entered into simultaneously with the whole loan sales, the
fair value of the ISFs are estimated and considered when determining the initial gain or loss on
sale. That allocated fair value of the ISF is periodically evaluated for impairment and amortized
in accordance with SFAS 140. As long as the fair value is above the lower of cost or market (LOCOM)
cap, revenue is recognized on a cash-received basis. When ISF agreements are entered into
subsequent to the whole loan sale, these assets are assigned a zero value and revenue is recognized
on a contingent basis as pre-established performance metrics are met and cash is due.

Consolidated Income Statement Analysis
Net Income
We recorded net income of $68.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, down 6% from net
income of $72.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, and compared to $53.3 million in
2002. Net income per share (diluted) was $2.28 for the year ended December 31, 2004, down 7% from
$2.45 per share in 2003 and up 21% from $1.89 per share in 2002. Return on equity was 14.5% for the
year ended December 31, 2004, 18.4% in 2003 and 16.7% in 2002. The effective income tax rate for
2004 was 40.1%, compared to 38.5% in 2003 and 38.7% in 2002. The higher effective rate in 2004 was
caused, in part, by non-deductible interest at our Canadian leasing subsidiary. We believe the
effective rate in 2005 will be closer to the rates in 2002 and 2003, rather than the rate in 2004.
25
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $252.1 million, down 7% from
2003 net interest income of $271.9 million and up 18% from 2002. The following table shows our

Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 5.46% compared to 5.82% in 2003
and 6.01% in 2002. The decline in margin in 2004 relates to the lower interest rate environment
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 38% in 2004 due
primarily to the full year effect in 2004 of unrealized trading losses (reflecting valuation
impairment) recorded during the first half of 2003.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a summary of the changes in
interest earned and interest paid resulting from changes in volume and rates for the major
components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities:

The variance not due solely to rate or volume has been allocated on the basis of the
absolute relationship between volume and rate variances.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The consolidated provision for loan and lease losses for the year 2004 was $14.1 million,
compared to $47.6 million and $44.0 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. More information on
this subject is contained in the section on credit risk.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income during the year 2004 totaled $283.5 million, compared to $306.1 million for
2003 and $234.1 million in 2002. The decrease in 2004 versus 2003 was primarily a result of a $180
million or 49% decrease in gain from sale of loans as a result of decreased production and
decreased secondary market deliveries of first mortgage loans. In addition, we recorded impairment
on our mortgage servicing asset totaling $2 million in 2004, versus impairment recovery in 2003 of
$45 million. Offsetting this was $17 million in derivative gains from our economic hedging
activities during 2004, compared to $44 million of derivative losses during 2003. Accordingly,
mortgage servicing asset impairment/recovery net of derivative gains/losses was a net recovery of
$14 million in 2004 compared to a net recovery of $24 million in 2003. Also offsetting the
decreased gain on sale was amortization expense on our servicing asset that decreased 14% to $117
million in 2004 compared to $136 million in 2003 due to lower prepayments and as a result of
permanent impairment taken in 2003. These fluctuations in noninterest income primarily occurred at
our mortgage banking line of business and relate to market conditions driven by a low interest rate
environment throughout most of 2004. See Mortgage Banking section for further discussion. In our
Home Equity Lending segment, we recorded trading gains of $25 million in 2004 compared to trading
losses of $52 million in 2003. The unrealized gains in 2004 principally reflect lower actual loss
rates than those previously modeled and reflect more sizable recoveries resulting from home price
appreciation and more aggressive collection efforts. See Home Equity Lending section for further
discussion.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $407.2 million, compared to
$412.0 million and $317.6 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in consolidated
noninterest expense in 2004 is primarily related to lower personnel costs associated with our
decreased production at the mortgage banking line of business. This decline was offset by higher
personnel costs at the home equity lending, commercial banking, and commercial finance lines of
business in connection with their improved performance in 2004.
Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis
Average assets for 2004 were $5.3 billion up 2% from December 31, 2003, and up 32% from
December 31, 2002. The growth in the consolidated average balance sheet reflects increases in
portfolio loans and leases particularly at the commercial banking and commercial finance lines of
business. This growth was offset by declines in mortgage loans held for sale at the mortgage
banking line of business as mortgage production decreased in 2004. Total assets at December 31,
2004 were $5.2 billion, up 5% from December 31, 2003.
Loans Held For Sale
Loans held for sale totaled $0.9 billion at December 31, 2004, unchanged from December 31,
2003 and down 32% from December 31, 2002. The decrease compared to 2002 occurred primarily at our
mortgage banking line of business where first mortgage loans held
27
for sale declined from $1.2 billion at December 31, 2002 to $0.7 billion at December 31, 2003
and 2004. This decline reflects slower refinance activity at the mortgage line of business as a
result of the interest rate environment at year-end 2003 and 2004. Included in loans held for sale
at the mortgage line of business at December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $68 million and $116 million,
respectively, of loans for which we have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase due to
default, under the terms of the government servicing agency contracts. Upon default, we have the
non- contingent right to repurchase these loans which causes repurchase accounting under
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities. The liability associated with these loans is reflected in other liabilities on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Loans and Leases
Our commercial loans and leases are originated throughout the United States and Canada.
Equipment loans and leases are also originated in Canada by our commercial finance line of
business. At December 31, 2004, 93% of our loan and lease portfolio was associated with our U.S.
operations. We also extend credit to consumers nationally through mortgages, installment loans and
revolving credit arrangements. Loans by major category for the periods presented were as follows:

The 2004 rollforward of allowance for loan and lease losses above includes the effect of the
transfer and sale of portfolio loans at our home equity lending line of business. We transferred
$355 million in loans to loans held for sale when the decisions were made to sell these loans from
the portfolio. These loans had an associated allowance of $20.6 million. The loans were transferred
with an allowance of $10.8 million to reduce their carrying value to fair market value. After the
transfers, the remaining $9.8 million of excess allowance was reversed through the provision for
loan and lease losses.

Average yield represents the weighted average yield to maturity computed based on average
historical cost balances. The yield information on available-for-sale securities does not give
effect to changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of shareholders equity. Expected
maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or
prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
Deposits
Total deposits in 2004 averaged $3.4 billion compared to average deposits in 2003 of $3.1
billion, and average deposits in 2002 of $2.4 billion. Demand deposits in 2004 averaged $1.0
billion, unchanged from the 2003 average balance and up 74% on average from 2002. A significant
portion of demand deposits is related to deposits at Irwin Union Bank and Trust associated with
escrow accounts held on loans in the servicing portfolio at the mortgage banking line of business.
During 2004, these escrow accounts averaged $0.7 billion compared to a 2003 average of $0.8
billion, and a 2002 average of $0.4 billion. The decrease in average escrow balances in 2004
relates to the mortgage banking line of business decline in refinancing activity. More than
offsetting this decrease was an increase in core deposits. Average core deposits at our commercial
bank, which exclude jumbo and brokered CDs and public funds, increased to $2.2 billion in 2004
compared to $1.7 billion in 2003.
Our lines of business utilize institutional broker-sourced deposits as funding from time to
time to supplement deposits solicited through branches and other wholesale funding sources. At
December 31, 2004, institutional broker-sourced deposits totaled $279.0 million compared to a
balance of $339.4 million at December 31, 2003.

Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings during 2004 averaged $307.9 million compared to an average of $595.2
million in 2003, and $600.8 million in 2002. Short-term borrowings declined to $237.3 million at
December 31, 2004 compared to $429.8 million at December 31, 2003. The decrease in short-term
borrowings relates primarily to the increased use of deposits to support our asset growth in 2004.
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings averaged $185.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2004, with an average rate of 1.69%. The balance at December 31, 2004 was $71.8 million at an
interest rate of 3.15%. The maximum outstanding during any
30
month end during 2004 was $536.3 million. At December 31, 2003, Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings averaged $317.2 million, with an average rate of 1.46%. The balance at December 31, 2003
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 $547.5 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $590.1
million at December 31, 2003. The bulk of these borrowings have resulted from securitization
structures that result in loans remaining as assets and debt being recorded on our balance sheet.
This 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 and
on-going run-off of the underlying loan and lease portfolios. This was offset by a new $0.4 billion
secured financing transaction completed in 2004. These transactions are discussed in more detail in
the Home Equity Lending section of this document.
Other long-term debt totaled $270.2 million at December 31, 2004, unchanged from 2003. We have
obligations represented by subordinated debentures totaling $240.1 million with our wholly-owned
trusts that were created for the purpose of issuing these securities. The subordinated debentures
were the sole assets of the trusts at December 31, 2004. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No.
46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003), at the end of
2003 we deconsolidated the wholly-owned trusts that issued the trust preferred securities. As a
result, these securities are no longer consolidated on our balance sheet. Instead, the subordinated
debentures held by the trusts are disclosed on the balance sheet as other long-term debt. We are
evaluating the potential benefits of calling the trust preferred securities issued by IFC Capital
Trust II, which become callable (under certain conditions) at par in September 2005.
Capital
Shareholders equity averaged $472.5 million during 2004, up 19% compared to 2003, and up 48%
from 2002. Shareholders equity balance of $501.2 million at December 31, 2004 represented $17.61
per common share, compared to $15.36 per common share at December 31, 2003, and compared to $12.98
per common share at year-end 2002. We paid an aggregate of $9.1 million in dividends during 2004,
compared to $7.8 million during 2003 and $7.5 million during 2002.

At December 31, 2004, our total risk-based capital ratio was 15.9%, exceeding our internal
minimum target of 11.0%. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, our total risk-based capital ratio was
15.1% and 13.2%, respectively. Our ending equity to assets ratio at December 31, 2004 was 9.6%
compared to 8.7% at December 31, 2003. However, as previously discussed, temporary conditions that
existed at year end make the average balance sheet ratio a more accurate measure of capital. Our
average equity to assets for the year ended December 31, 2004 was 9.0% compared to 7.6% for the
year 2003. Our Tier 1 capital totaled $637.9 million as of December 31, 2004, or 13.0% of
risk-weighted assets. For an explanation of capital requirements and categories applicable to
financial institutions, see the discussion in this Report under the subsection Other Safety and
Soundness Regulations in Part 1, Business, Supervision and Regulation.
We have issued $233.0 million in trust preferred securities through five IFC Capital Trusts
and one IFC Statutory Trust as of December 31, 2004. All securities are callable at par after five
years. These funds are all Tier 1 qualifying capital under current regulatory guidance. The sole
assets of these trusts are our subordinated debentures. See further discussion in the
Collateralized and Other Long-Term Debt section above. As of December 31, 2003, we no longer
consolidated these trusts in our consolidated financial statements. Highlights about these trusts
are listed below:

In July 1999, we raised $30 million of 7.58%, 15-year subordinated debt that is callable
in 2009 at par. The debt was privately placed. These funds qualify as Tier 2 capital. The
securities are not convertible into our common shares.
In connection with our stock option plans, we repurchased 13 thousand common shares in 2004
with a market value of $0.4 million. In 2003, we repurchased 171 thousand shares with a market
value of $4.2 million.
In order to maintain product price competitiveness with other national banks, we allocate
capital to our subsidiaries in a manner which reflects their relative riskiness and as if they were
stand-alone businesses. The allocated amount of capital varies according to the risk
characteristics of the individual business segments and the products they offer. Capital is
allocated separately based on the following types of risk: credit, interest rate (market) and
operational. We adjust this allocation, as necessary, to assure that we meet regulatory and
internal policy standards for minimum capitalization. We utilize internal risk measurement models,
calibrated with a public-domain model from a nationally recognized rating agency, and capital
requirements from our banking regulators to arrive at the capitalization required by line of
business. We re-allocate capital to subsidiaries on a quarterly basis based on their risk and
growth plans.
Inflation
Since substantially all of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, such as cash,
securities, loans and deposits, their values are less sensitive to the effects of inflation than to
changes in interest rates. We attempt to control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by
managing the relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and by hedging
certain interest sensitive assets with financial derivatives or forward commitments.
Cash Flow Analysis
Our cash and cash equivalents decreased $43.7 million in 2004 compared to decreases of $17.0
million during 2003 and $0.5 million in 2002. Cash flows from operating activities provided $15.6
million in cash and cash equivalents in 2004 compared to $596.9 million in 2003. Changes in loans
held for sale impact cash flows from operations. In a period in which loan sales exceed production
such as we experienced in 2003, operating cash flows will increase. In 2003, our loans held for
sale decreased $431 million, thus increasing the cash provided by operating activities. In 2004,
our loans held for sale balance was relatively unchanged.
Earnings Outlook
We do not provide quantitative earnings guidance, as we do not believe it to be in the best
interest of our long-term stakeholders. However, as discussed before, our strategy is to seek
opportunities for credit-worthy, profitable growth by serving niche markets and balancing 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 substantial proportion of
2005 earnings to come from net interest income derived from our credit portfolios in commercial
banking, home equity lending and commercial finance lines of business. We expect segment growth and
earnings to be more proportionate to our balance sheet exposures, rather than the disproportionate
contribution provided by the mortgage segment during 2002 and 2003. Currently, market conditions
for our mortgage banking segment are very difficult. Origination margins are significantly below
our long-term expectations and we are not seeing increases in the value of our servicing portfolio
as we would typically expect when mortgage origination revenues are declining
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
32
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 subsequent
quarters can be low. In addition, accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP)
impose 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 economic hedges with the desired GAAP accounting outcome, although the
economic balance may still exist.
We are subject to basis risk in the management of our servicing portfolio. Currently, the
basis risk is moving in a manner opposite to historic patterns, negatively affecting management of
these assets. As discussed in more detail in the section of this report on Interest Rate Risk, we
have approximately $1.6 million of mortgage servicing rights at risk to each one basis point change
in interest rates. We typically counter-act this risk with the use of derivatives with a similar
basis point value. Over time, this hedge has performed well in mitigating loss in value when
interest rates have declined and has been structured in such a manner so that we can recapture some
of the increase in value of servicing rights as rates rise, without losing an equal amount on our
derivatives. Over the past six months, however, basis risk in our servicing asset and derivative
position has caused our hedging position to be less effective than it has been historically as
recent declines in mortgage rates has not been matched with equal declines in swap rates.
Finally, while basis risk exhibits stability over longer periods of time, over shorter periods
there can be separation in the relative spreads of interest rates and indices used to value
mortgage servicing rights and the financial derivatives we use to hedge the change in value in
mortgage servicing rights. At times this basis risk benefits us and at other times it does not. It
is generally not possible to eliminate this basis risk. 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 such as quarters.
As a result, assuming these conditions persist through quarter end, we expect our revenues and
thus net income will be lower in the first quarter of 2005 than in the fourth quarter. However, we
believe we are in a transitory period for mortgage banking and, in light of the good growth we have
had in our credit portfolios in 2004, we expect net income for the full year of 2005 to return to
levels commensurate with our historic performance. 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.
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
and interest rate changes, 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 growth in the U.S. is slower in 2005 than currently anticipated by
consensus estimates, our credit related costs may increase beyond our current estimates. While a
substantial portion of mortgage banking revenues are derived from loan origination activities, we
have taken steps over the past year, more rapidly in the past six months, to reduce the number of
branches in our system that are not achieving our desired return targets. This, by definition,
lowers our revenues and in many cases, contribution to fixed or semi-fixed costs, but we believe it
is the appropriate tactic over the long-term as a response to rising interest rates. We have
continued these office-closing activities in the first quarter of 2005, principally in our retail
channel that has historically had the lowest margins in rising interest rate environments. Where
possible, we have attempted to transfer office lease obligations to acquirors. This is typically
done for nominal consideration.

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 normally 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
35
30-day period after funding, we sell our mortgage loan originations into the secondary
mortgage market either by direct loan sales or by securitization. Our secondary market sources
include government-sponsored mortgage entities, nationally sponsored mortgage conduits, and
institutional and private investors.
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. The timing difference is 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. As a
result, we sometimes experience greater volatility in short-term results than is apparent in
longer-term measurements such as annual income.
Our strategy of balancing exposure to mortgage originations and mortgage servicing is
challenged in a period of flat or mildly declining interest rates (particularly in a period after
significant refinance activity has subsided). Periods such as these are characterized by excess
industry origination capacity and too little volume relative to fixed expenses, coupled with no
meaningful increases in servicing values. These conditions have existed since the summer of 2004.
As such, our mortgage segment results are likely to continue to be depressed until these conditions
change.
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 fluctuated in 2004, we chose 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 well as to mitigate the growth of servicing assets as a percentage of our
consolidated balance sheet. This differs from our actions over the past several years of adding to
the portfolio as rates reached historic lows.
Strategy
Our mortgage banking line of business focuses primarily on first-time homeowners, who we
believe will increase in number in coming years due to certain national demographic trends that are
favorable to housing formation in our target markets. The mortgage banking business is cyclical,
following changes in interest rates. In our mortgage banking line of business we do not try to
anticipate the timing of changes in interest rates, but instead we have developed a strategy
intended to maintain profitability across interest rate cycles. Our strategy has three components:
|
|
|
We manage our loan production activities through the expansion or contraction of existing
channels in geographic markets and demographic groups that support our strategy and by
serving intermediaries (such as some brokers, correspondents and credit unions) that value
our mortgage banks service-oriented approach to lending. |
|
|
|
|
We focus on increasing profit margins by reducing fixed costs associated with the
mortgage cycle. This initiative includes redesigning our work flow as to how we process,
underwrite, and close loans. |
|
|
|
|
We are more likely to retain servicing rights in periods of declining interest rates and
more likely to sell these servicing rights during periods of increasing interest rates. This
strategy gives us the flexibility to invest in servicing rights during periods of relatively
high production when servicing values tend to decrease and sell the servicing during periods
of lower production when servicing values tend to increase. |

Net Income
Net income from mortgage banking for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $20.3 million,
compared to $78.1 million during 2003, a decrease of 74% and a decrease of 55% from 2002 results of
$44.5 million. This net income decrease in 2004 primarily relates to a decline in mortgage
originations due to generally rising interest rates, compressed interest margins and reduced
valuation recoveries on mortgage servicing rights. The increased earnings in 2003 were primarily
related to increased production as a result of a declining interest rate environment in 2003
relative to 2002.

Brokered loans are loans we originate for which we receive loan origination fees, but which
are funded, closed and owned by unrelated third parties. |
Mortgage loan originations for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $13.1 billion, down
42% from the same period in 2003. While 2004 was a strong production year, rates were not low
enough to stimulate refinance demand similar to 2003. Refinanced loans accounted for 52% of loan
production for 2004 compared to 67% in 2003 and 61% in 2002.
Net Revenue
Mortgage banking net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $239.1 million,
compared to $397.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, and $248.4 million in 2002. The

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 in 2004 decreased 44% to $40.8 million, compared to $72.3 million in 2003, and $41.5 million
in 2002. 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 year.
The increase in net interest income in 2003 is a result of increased production related to the
favorable interest rate environment in that year.
37
Gain on sale of loans includes net revenues from three principal sources:
|
|
|
the valuation of newly-created mortgage servicing rights; |
|
|
|
|
net loan origination fees which are recognized when loans are pooled and sold into the secondary mortgage market; and, |
|
|
|
|
changes in fair value of forward contracts and interest rate lock commitments. |
Gain on sale of loans for the year ended 2004 totaled $151.2 million, compared to $327.9
million and $200.2 million in 2003 and 2002, a decrease of 54% and 24%, respectively. This decrease
is attributable to decreased originations and reduced secondary market margins as a result of the
increasing interest rate environment that began in the latter half of 2003 and subsequent
intensified price competition. The increase in 2003 is a result of increased originations and
secondary market activity during that year as a result of the favorable interest rate environment.
While a substantial portion of mortgage banking revenues are derived from loan origination
activities, we have taken steps over the past year, more rapidly in the past six months, to reduce
the number of branches in our system that are not achieving our desired return targets. This, by
definition, lowers our revenues and in many cases, lowers the contribution to fixed or semi-fixed
costs, but we believe it is the appropriate tactic over the long-term as a response to rising
interest rates. We have continued these office-closing activities in the first quarter of 2005,
principally in our retail channel that has historically had the lowest margins in rising interest
rate environments. Where possible, we have attempted to transfer office lease obligations to
acquirors. This is typically done for nominal consideration.
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 $104.5 million for the year of 2004, an increase of 26% from 2003 and an increase of 79%
from 2002, primarily reflecting the growth in the servicing portfolio over the last two years.
Amortization expense relates to mortgage servicing rights and is based on the proportion of
current net servicing cash flows to the total expected for the estimated lives of the underlying
loans. Amortization expense totaled $95.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to
$118.9 million during 2003 and $55.1 million during 2002. The decrease in amortization expense in
2004 compared to 2003 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 in 2004 has also decreased as a result of
an increase in the expected servicing life and cash flows caused by higher interest rates.
Impairment expense is recorded when the book value of the mortgage servicing rights exceeds
the fair market value on a strata by strata basis. We determined fair value at December 31, 2004,
through the use of independent valuations, valuation comparisons to actual servicing sale proceeds,
and internal models. Impairment expense totaled $4.2 million during 2004, compared to impairment
recovery of $45.5 million during 2003 and impairment expense of $143.4 million in 2002. The
fluctuations in impairment expense are attributable to changes in actual and expected prepayment
speeds due to interest rate changes. At December 31, 2004, the mortgage line of business held $10
billion notional amount in interest rate swaptions to manage the risk of our servicing assets.
Notional amounts do not represent the amount of 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. The impairment expense recorded in 2004 was more than offset by derivative
gains of $18.9 million. We recorded derivative losses of $21.3 million during 2003 and derivative
gains of $125.6 million were recorded during 2002. See the discussion of Derivative Financial
Instruments in our Risk Management section for additional information on our risk management
activities.
Since the second quarter of 2004, the interest rate differential between the mortgages
underlying our servicing asset and the interest rate swap curve underlying the derivatives we use
to hedge the fluctuation in value of our servicing rights has moved in a manner counter to
traditional movements during declining rate periods. For example, as of May 31, 2004, the spread
between these two rates was 0.99%. As of March 7, 2005, mortgage interest rates have declined 0.68%
since May 2004, and the spread between the mortgage and swap rates has compressed to 0.50%.
Traditionally, in falling rate environments, the spread between these rates increases. The
compression between these rates has rendered our servicing hedge significantly less effective than
we would want. Over time, should mortgage rates remain at or near low current levels we would
anticipate an increase in mortgage production. Alternatively, if rates rise or spreads return to
more normal patterns, we would anticipate recapturing a meaningful amount of the impairment.
Nonetheless, in the short-term, should these mortgage swap relationships not revert to historic
patterns prior to the end of
38
the first quarter, we may experience material impairment for the quarter, with a resulting
negative effect on consolidated net income for the period.
Our mortgage banking business maintains the flexibility either to sell servicing for current
cash flow or to retain servicing for future cash flow through the retention of ongoing servicing
fees. Total servicing sales represented 74% of loan originations in 2004, compared to 6% in 2003,
and 31% in 2002. 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 $8.3 billion of servicing in 2004,
generating $16.7 million in pre-tax gains. This compares to servicing sales of $0.6 billion in
2003, producing a $0.3 million pre-tax loss. In 2002, servicing sales totaled $2.9 billion
producing a $14.8 million pre-tax gain. 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 in 2004 to manage the size and composition of our investment in
mortgage servicing assets.

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $204.2 million, a 24% decrease
over the year 2003, and a 17% increase over 2002. Salaries and employee benefits including
incentive and commission pay decreased 27% in 2004 over 2003 and increased 9% over 2002. These
decreases in operating expenses reflect significant decreases in production activities in 2004
versus 2003. However, the relative decreases in operating expenses are less than the relative
decreases in production due to the fixed and semi-variable nature of certain operating expenses and
the impact of investments in various process improvement initiatives.

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

Our mortgage servicing portfolio, including mortgage loans held for sale, totaled $26.2
billion at December 31, 2004, a 12% decrease from the December 31, 2003 balance of $29.6 billion,
and a 56% increase from the same date in 2002. The decrease in 2004 relates primarily to bulk
servicing sales and the decision to sell a relatively high proportion of the servicing rights
created by new production (flow sales where the servicing is sold at the same time the underlying
mortgage is sold into the secondary market). In 2003 we had minimal servicing sales and sold a
lower proportion of originated servicing rights as we built our servicing portfolio in anticipation
of rising interest rates that would result in lower mortgage loan production.
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 December 31, 2004, we estimated the fair value of these assets to be $320.7 million in
the aggregate, or $1.5 million greater than the carrying value on the balance sheet. 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. 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.

Includes $293 million of inter-company investments, the result of excess liquidity at the
commercial banking line of business related to deposit growth in excess of its asset
deployment needs. The funds have been redeployed in earning assets at our other lines of
business. |
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, an Indiana state-chartered
commercial bank, and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., a federal savings bank.

Strategy
Our strategy is to provide superior service to our existing small business customers and to
expand those services into selected new markets. We target metropolitan markets with strong
economies where we believe recent bank consolidation has negatively impacted customers. We believe
this consolidation has led to disenchantment with the delivery of financial services to the small
business community among the owners of those small businesses and the senior banking officers who
had been providing services to them. In markets that management identifies as attractive
opportunities, the bank seeks to hire senior commercial loan officers and cash management personnel
who have strong local ties and who can focus on providing personalized services to small businesses
in that market. Having integrated into our operations the new markets we opened in the late 1990s,
we are once again looking at market expansion opportunities. Our strategy is to expand in markets
that satisfy the following criteria:
|
|
|
the market is a metropolitan area with attractive business demographics and
diversification displaying evidence of sustainable growth; |
|
|
|
|
recent banking merger and acquisition activity has occurred in the market and management
believes that the acquiror is viewed by customers as an outsider and/or not responsive to
local small business needs; and |
|
|
|
|
we are able to attract experienced, senior banking staff to manage the new market. |
In 2004, we opened new banking offices in Milwaukee and Sacramento. These offices contributed
an immaterial amount to revenues and expenses in 2004.
We expect consolidation to continue in the banking and financial services industry and plan to
capitalize on the opportunities brought about in this environment by continuing the banks growth
strategy for small business banking in new markets throughout the United States. Our focus will be
to provide personalized banking services to small businesses, using experienced staff with a strong
presence in cities affected by the industry-wide consolidations. In addition to its market
expansion, our commercial bank continues to develop its banking, insurance, and investment products
to provide a full range of financial services to its small business customers.
On average, we anticipate our de novo banking offices will break even approximately 18 months
after they are opened, and we estimate that a banking office will achieve targeted levels of
profitability in approximately five years in an average market. Some markets will experience growth
and profitability at greater or lesser rates than we currently expect because of many factors,
including execution of our strategy, accuracy in assessing market potential, and success in
recruiting senior lenders, cash management officers, and other staff. Over time, we may choose to
leave certain markets if these factors limit profitability. Our expansion into new markets is
subject to regulatory approval.

Net interest income was $89.6 million, an increase of 13% over 2003, and an increase of 28%
from 2002. 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
is computed by dividing net interest income by average interest earning assets. Net interest margin
during 2004 was 3.75%, compared to 3.86% in 2003, and 4.00% in 2002. The reduction in 2004 margin
is due to slower than anticipated loan growth, which has led to greater than planned excess
liquidity invested in lower yielding assets.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
Provision for loan and lease losses declined to $3.3 million in 2004, compared to provisions
of $5.9 million and $9.8 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The declining provision relates to
a combination of improved overall loan quality, improving economic conditions and slower loan
growth. See further discussion in Credit Quality section later in this document.

Noninterest income during 2004 decreased 13% over 2003 and increased 14% over 2002. This
decrease was due primarily to lower gains from sales of loans related to decreased mortgage
production in this line of business, partially offset by lower servicing asset amortization. The
commercial banking line of business has a first mortgage servicing portfolio that has increased to
$454 million, principally a result of mortgage loan production in its south-central Indiana
markets. Those servicing rights are carried on the balance sheet at the lower of cost or market,
estimated at December 31, 2004, to be $3.8 million.

On a full time equivalent basis |
Operating expenses during 2004 totaled $65.5 million, an increase of 15% over 2003, and an
increase of 31% from 2002. The increase in salaries and benefits is primarily attributable to
higher incentive compensation driven by a higher return on equity at this line of business in 2004
and increased personnel costs related to new market expansion and support staff. The higher return
on equity was partially the result of lower internal capital allocations during 2004.
Balance Sheet
Total assets for the year ended December 31, 2004 averaged $2.5 billion compared to $2.1
billion in 2003, and $1.8 billion in 2002. Average earning assets for the year ended December 31,
2004 were $2.4 billion compared to $2.0 billion in 2003, and $1.7 billion in 2002. The most
significant component of the increase was an increase in commercial loans as a result of the
commercial banks continued growth and expansion efforts into new markets. In addition, average
investments have increased from $22 million in 2003 to $202 million in 2004. This increase relates
primarily to inter-company investments, the result of excess liquidity related to deposit growth in
excess of asset deployment needs. The funds have been redeployed in earning assets at our other
lines of business. Earnings credited to the commercial banking line of business from these
investments approximate alternative external investment rates. Average core deposits for the year
totaled $2.0 billion, an increase of 23% over average core deposits in 2003, and an increase of 58%
from 2002.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets to total assets and the allowance for loan losses to total loans both
decreased at December 31, 2004, compared to December 31, 2003. The decline in nonperformings in
2004 was primarily the result of satisfactory management of delinquent loans and collections made
to nonperforming relationships during the past year. Nonperforming loans are not significantly
concentrated in any industry category. The decline in the allowance for loan losses as a percent of
total loans reflects our belief that overall loss experience has declined due to improving economic
conditions, significantly lower loan growth, improved overall loan quality and successful workouts
of several nonperforming loans in 2004. The following table shows information about our
nonperforming assets in this line of business and our allowance for loan losses.

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 to certain
qualified borrowers. 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.
Strategy
We offer home equity loans with combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratios of up to 125% of their
collateral value. Home equity loans are priced taking into account, among other factors, the credit
history of our customer, the disposable income of the borrower, 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 year ended December 31, 2004, HLTV home equity loans made up 44% of
our loan originations and 47% of our managed portfolio. HLTVs constituted 64% of our managed
portfolio 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 $72 million at December 31, 2004 compared with
$235 million at December 31, 2003) that are described in the guidance as subprime. The
44
designation of certain loans as subprime and the additional capital requirement for those
loans was a principal driver in our decision to respond to secondary market demand for seasoned
home equity product and sell a portion of our portfolio in 2004.
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 78%, or $0.9
billion, of our home equity managed portfolio at December 31, 2004 was originated with early
repayment provisions, reflecting such customer choice.
Generally we either sell loans through whole loan sales or we fund these loans on balance
sheet through warehouse lines or secured, term financings. In addition to loan sales, from time to
time we have sold loans and will continue to consider the sale of certain assets such as residual
assets and mortgage servicing rights. We balance our loan portfolio growth objectives with cash
flow and profit targets, as well as a desire to manage our capital accounts. In addition, regulated
banks are prohibited from holding more than their total regulatory capital in certain mortgage
exposures where the underlying loan to value exceeds 90 percent. This limitation also factors into
our sale decisions. Our long-term expectations for whole loan sales are in the 75% range. We
generally retain the servicing rights for the loans we sell.
Portfolio Mix
Our home equity lending line of business blends aspects of the credit card and mortgage
banking industries. The home equity products are designed to appeal to homeowners who have high
levels of unsecured (credit card) debt, who through the use of a debt consolidating mortgage loan
can meaningfully reduce their after-tax monthly cash outflows. We underwrite our loans using
unsecured debt criteria, while adjusting for relative riskiness by LTV level and credit profile
through our pricing. We believe that the mortgage lien associated with the loan has a meaningful,
positive influence on the payment priority of our customers. We lend nationally in our home equity
lending line of business to avoid concentrations that may be subject to local real estate market
inflation. The following table shows the geographic composition of our home equity lending managed
portfolio on a percentage basis as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003:

We define our Managed Portfolio as the portfolio of loans ($1.1 billion) that we service
and on which we carry credit risk. At December 31, 2004, we also serviced another $1.7 billion
of loans for which the credit risk is held by others. |
45
Securitizations
Since inception in 1995, we have used secondary markets to assist in the funding of the loans
we make. These securitizations have provided a stable, relatively low cost source of matched
maturity funding for us. The securitizations can be accounted for in one of two methods:
|
|
|
As off balance sheet, SFAS 140, structures where both the loans and securitization
liabilities are off balance sheet. We record a gain on sale of loans at the time of
securitization, retain a residual interest and record subsequent trading gains/losses
throughout the life of the loans as our assumptions of future performance change. We engaged
in such securitizations from 1995 through 2001. |
|
|
|
|
As on balance sheet structures (secured financings) where the loans are left on balance
sheet and the securitization liabilities are brought on balance sheet as collateralized
debt. We then report net interest income on an accrual basis over the life of the loans. We
have used these structures since 2001. |
Our secured financings and securitizations have triggers that, when exceeded, provide trustees
and/or bond insurers with the ability, but not the obligation, of removing us as servicer. Trigger
levels are typically in the form of cumulative or periodic losses and/or delinquencies for a pool
of loans over a stated period of time. At December 31, 2004, we had $45.7 million in loans that we
serviced and for which certain triggers had been exceeded. The mortgage servicing rights related to
the loans for which a trigger had been exceeded totaled $1.4 million at December 31, 2004. Based on
our evaluation of industry practice by trustees and bond insurers and our estimation of the steps
the independent trustees would take, we believe it is unlikely that the trustees will remove
servicing from us given current performance of our securitizations. As a result, we have not
provided for an allowance for this contingency.
Home Equity Servicing
Our home equity lending business continues to service the 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 securitized. Generally accepted accounting principles
require us to book a servicing asset under both the SFAS 140 and the secured financing
structures. The total servicing portfolio was $2.8 billion at December 31, 2004 compared to $2.6
billion at December 31, 2003. For whole loans sold with servicing retained totaling $1.4 billion
and $1.0 billion at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, we capitalize servicing fees
including rights to future early repayment fees. The servicing asset at December 31, 2004 was $44.0
million up from $28.4 million at December 31, 2003 reflecting additional secondary market sales and
financings, net of amortization and run-off.
Our Managed Portfolio, representing that portion of the servicing portfolio on which we have
retained credit risk, is separated into two categories: $0.8 billion of loans originated, generally
since 2002, and held on balance sheet either as loans held for investment or loans held for sale,
and $0.3 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.
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 $1.3 billion of loans at December 31, 2004 and $0.8 billion 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, our servicing practices, and general economic conditions.
The 30-day and greater delinquency ratio on our managed portfolio was 4.8% at December 31, 2004,
and 5.9% at December 31, 2003.
Net Income
Our home equity lending business recorded net income of $28.1 million during the year ended
December 31, 2004, compared to a net loss of $19.9 million in 2003 and net income of $1.0 million
in 2002. The most significant factor in the increased earnings during 2004 was improving credit
quality (including the modeling of recovery experience) that drove significant increases in the
fair value of our residual interests recorded through trading gains/losses, instead of the
significant write downs of these assets suffered in 2003.
Net Revenue
Net revenue in 2004 totaled $162.5 million, compared to net revenue in 2003 and 2002 of $57.4
million and $80.3 million, respectively. The increase in revenues is primarily a result of the
change from trading losses to trading gains related to adjustments made in marking the residual
interests to fair value in the respective periods, reflecting improved credit quality trends in the
underlying loan portfolios represented by these residuals. The improved credit quality including
modeling of recoveries has also resulted in declines to our provision for loan losses in 2004.
Provision for loan losses totaled $4.4 million in 2004 compared to $29.6 million in 2003 and $25.6
million in 2002.
Our home equity lending business produced $1.4 billion of home equity loans in 2004 compared
to $1.1 billion in both 2002 and 2003. Our home equity lending business had $0.8 billion of loans
and loans held for sale at December 31, 2004, compared to $0.9 billion at December 31, 2003, and
$0.7 billion at the same date in 2002. Included in the loan balance at December 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002 were $0.4 billion, $0.5 billion and $0.4 billion of collateralized loans as part of secured
financings.

Net interest income decreased to $99.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared
to 2003 net interest income of $106.5 million, and $94.1 million in 2002. 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 $12.5 million during 2004 versus $20.7 million in
2003, and $34.2 million in 2002. The decline in accretion reflects the reduced carrying value of
our residual interests. The non-accretion net interest income increased to $86.5 million in 2004
compared to $85.9 million in 2003 and $59.9 million in 2002. The increase in 2003 over 2002 is a
result of the buildup of our on-balance sheet loan portfolio.
Provision for loan losses decreased to $4.4 million in 2004 compared to $29.6 million in 2003
and $25.6 million in 2002. The decreased provision relates to improvements in the credit quality of
the loan portfolio. In addition, we transferred $355 million in loans to loans held for sale when
the decisions were made to sell these portfolio loans. These loans had an associated allowance of
$20.6 million. The loans were transferred with an allowance of $10.8 million to reduce their
carrying value to fair market value. After the transfers, the remaining $9.8 million of excess
allowance was reversed through the provision for loan and lease losses.
Gains on sales of loans for the year ended December 31, 2004 totaled $29.2 million, compared
to $26.1 million and $29.9 million during the same period in 2003 and 2002, respectively. We
completed whole loan sales during 2004 of $1.3 billion compared to sales in 2003 of $0.7 billion.
The gain relative to the amount of loans sold was lower than in the prior year due to product mix
sold and the related loan yields.
Whole loan sales are cash sales for which we receive a premium, generally record a servicing
asset, recognize any points and fees, and recognize any previously capitalized expenses relating to
the sold loans at the time of sale. For certain sales, we have the right to an incentive servicing
fee (ISF) 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. At
December 31, 2004, we were receiving incentive fees for two transactions that had met these
performance metrics.
These ISF arrangements are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. When ISF
agreements are entered into simultaneously with the whole loan sales, the fair value of the ISFs
are estimated and considered when determining the initial gain or loss on sale. That allocated fair
value of the ISF is periodically evaluated for impairment and amortized in accordance with SFAS
140. Consistent with the treatment of all of the Corporations servicing assets, ISFs are accounted
for on a lower of cost or market basis. Therefore if the fair value of the ISFs in subsequent
periods exceed cost basis, then revenue is recognized as preestablished performance metrics are met
and cash is due.
When ISF agreements are entered into subsequent to the whole loan sale, these assets are
assigned a zero value and revenue is recognized as pre-established
performance metrics are met and cash is due.
Loan servicing fees totaled $29.8 million in 2004 compared to $21.8 million in 2003 and $13.5
million in 2002. The servicing portfolio underlying the mortgage servicing asset at our home equity
lending line of business totaled $2.3 billion and $1.7 billion at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. The increase in loan servicing fees relates to the increased size of the servicing
portfolio and increased early repayment fees that totaled $13.7 million and $8.3 million in 2004
and 2003, respectively, 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 December 31, 2004, net servicing assets totaled
$44.0 million, compared to a balance of $28.4 million at December 31, 2003, and
48
$26.4 million at December 31, 2002. Servicing asset amortization expense totaled $19.9 million
during 2004, compared to $13.9 million in 2003, and $5.5 million in 2002. The increased
amortization is a result of the increase in the size of the underlying servicing portfolio.
Trading gains (losses) represent unrealized gains (losses) as a result of adjustments to the
carrying values of our residual interests. Trading gains totaled $25.2 million in 2004 compared to
losses of $52.2 million in 2003 and $26.0 million in 2002. Residual interests had a balance of
$51.5 million at December 31, 2004 and $70.5 million at December 31, 2003, compared to $157.1
million at the same date in 2002. The decrease in residual interest balance reflects a combination
of cash receipts, runoff, performance-based valuation adjustments and the 2004 repurchase of $5.3
million of residuals we had sold between 1999 and 2001. The $51.5 million valuation at December 31,
2004 reflects $58.2 million of anticipated undiscounted cash flows of which $47.8 million
represents existing securitization overcollateralization and reserve funds, and the remaining $10.4
million represents expected future net spread and prepayment penalties. 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 reported earnings. The increased unrealized trading gains in
2004 principally reflect lower actual loss rates than those previously modeled. A material portion
of the lower losses came about due to improved recoveries during 2004 of previously charged-off
loans. This improvement in recoveries was the result of enhancements we have made to our loss
recovery systems and strong housing markets. In our residual asset valuation models, as well as in
our assumptions for allowance for loan and lease losses, we anticipate continued strong recoveries
in 2005, although not at the level of 2004 recoveries due to reduced levels of charge-offs and
moderating home prices. These models were revised in the fourth quarter of 2004 to account for
potential recoveries, as our credit risk management analysis had by that time been able to collect
sufficient data to make statistically reliable estimates of future recoveries. Our forward loss
assumptions, including assumptions about gross losses and recoveries, are reevaluated monthly and,
as such, our residual asset valuations are adjusted monthly to reflect changes in actual and
expected loss rates in our portfolio.

Overview
We established this line of business in 1999. In this segment, we provide small ticket, full
payout lease financing on a variety of small business equipment in the United States and Canada as
well as equipment and leasehold improvement financing for franchisees (mainly in the quick service
restaurant sector) in the United States.
Strategy
Our strategy is to provide cost-competitive, service-oriented financing alternatives to small
businesses generally and to franchisees. We utilize direct and indirect sales forces to distribute
our products. In the small ticket lease channel our sales efforts focus on providing lease
solutions for vendors and manufacturers. The majority of our leases are full payout (no residual),
small-ticket assets secured by commercial equipment. We finance a variety of commercial, light
industrial and office equipment types and try to limit the concentrations in our loan and lease
portfolios. Within the franchise channel, the majority of our contracts are full payout loans with
higher transaction sizes than in our small-ticket channel. The franchise channel may also finance
real estate for select franchise systems.
Net Income
Commercial finance net income increased to $3.2 million during 2004, compared to net income of
$1.8 during 2003 and a loss of $58 thousand in 2002. Results in 2004 reflect growth of $5.3 million
in net interest income over 2003. Net interest income in 2003 increased 50% over 2002. Provision
for loan and lease losses decreased to $6.8 million in 2004, compared to provisions of $11.3
million and $8.5 million in 2003 and 2002, respectively. The 2004 earnings are attributable to
portfolio growth, improvements in credit quality, and higher than expected gains from the sale of
leases and whole loans without credit recourse.

Net interest income was $28.1 million, an increase of 23% over 2003, and an increase of 85%
from 2002. The improvement in net interest income resulted from an increase in our commercial
finance portfolio. The total loan and lease portfolio has increased to $625.1 million at December
31, 2004, an increase of 35% and 81% over year-end 2003 and 2002 balances, respectively. This line
of
50
business originated $366.5 million in loans and leases during 2004, compared to $272.7 million
during 2003 and $207.1 million in 2002.
Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by average interest earning
assets. Net interest margin during 2004 was 5.33%, compared to 5.63% in 2003, and 5.07% in 2002.
The decrease in 2004 margin is due primarily to changes in yields and product mix.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
The provision for loan and lease losses decreased to $6.8 million in 2004 compared to $11.3
million in 2003 and $8.5 million in 2002. The decreased provisioning levels relate primarily to
improvements in credit quality in our lease portfolio. We added $2.8 million in specific reserves
to the allowance during 2004 related to a potential loss on lease receivables on product
manufactured and supplied to customers by a single vendor. The majority of these leases were
charged off in 2004. We no longer originate leases for this vendor.

Noninterest income during 2004 increased 7% over 2003 and 43% over 2002. Included in
noninterest income were gains from sales of leases and whole loans that totaled $1.8 million in
2004 compared to $2.6 million in 2003 and $1.4 million in 2002. Also included in noninterest income
during 2004 and 2003 was $0.5 million and $0.8 million of interest rate derivative losses in our
Canadian operation related to asset-liability mismatches in our funding of that operation. We had
no derivative losses for this line of business during the same period in 2002.

Operating expenses during 2004 totaled $18.8 million, an increase of 25% over 2003, and an
increase of 55% from 2002. The increased operating expenses relate to the continued growth in this
business since its inception in 1999, including compensation costs related to higher production
levels and the achievement of profitability.

Credit Quality
The commercial finance line of business had nonperforming loans and leases at December 31,
2004 totaling $3.9 million, compared to non-performing loans and leases at December 31, 2003 and
2002 totaling $4.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively. Net charge-offs recorded by this line of
business totaled $8.2 million in 2004 compared to $7.9 million in 2003 and $5.4 million in 2002.
The bulk of the charge-offs in 2004 relate to a credit relationship with a single vendor as noted
above in the discussion on provision for loan and leases losses. Allowance for loan and lease
losses at December 31, 2004 totaled $9.6 million, representing 1.54% of loans and leases, compared
to a balance at December 31, 2003 of $11.4 million, representing 2.47% of loans and leases and a
balance of $7.7 million or 2.21% of the portfolio at December 31, 2002.

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 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 five private
companies as of December 31, 2004, with an aggregate investment cost of $14.7 million and a
carrying value of $2.8 million representing our interest in three companies.
Over the last three years we have found it more difficult to find new investments that meet
our strategic objectives and have re-directed certain personnel formerly addressing this segment.
In 2004 and 2003, only $0.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively were invested in portfolio
companies. In addition, our consolidated growth has caused this activity to become less significant
on a consolidated basis. When the company was formed, we expected to make approximately $4 million
in annual investments. That was 2.5% of year-end 1999 common equity. We now expect that annual
investments are unlikely to exceed $2 million that would be less than 0.4% of 2004 year-end common
equity.
Given the change in the materiality of this segment to consolidated results, we intend to
discontinue segment reporting for private equity with this report. When appropriate due to
materiality, we will report on financial results for private equity in the Parent and Other
segment.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the venture capital line of business recorded a net
loss of $0.4 million, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million in 2003, and a net loss of $2.5
million in 2002. The fluctuation in results in the venture capital line of business is primarily
due 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 $6.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004, compared to a loss of $8.0 million during the same period in 2003 and
$5.8 million in 2002. These 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
intracompany 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 $2.6 million,
$(0.7) million, and $(2.0) million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Also included in parent
company operating results are allocations to our subsidiaries of interest expense related to our
interest-bearing capital obligations. During the year ended December 31, 2004, we allocated $14.0
million of these expenses to our subsidiaries, compared to $15.2 million and $13.5 million during
2003 and 2002, respectively, reflecting reduced use of parent company-sourced capital funding for
the lines of business in 2004.
Each subsidiary pays taxes to us at the statutory rate, with the exception of our Canadian
subsidiary that pays taxes in Canada. 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
53
consolidation. During 2004, we released $0.7 million in tax reserves at the parent company to
align our tax liability to a level commensurate with our currently identified tax exposures.
Risk Management
We are engaged in businesses that involve the assumption of financial risks including:
|
|
|
Credit risk |
|
|
|
|
Liquidity risk |
|
|
|
|
Interest rate risk |
|
|
|
|
Operational risk |
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.
Each of our principal risks is managed at the line of business level, with oversight and, when
appropriate, standardization provided by the ERMC and its subcommittees. 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
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 at the segment level no less frequently than on a quarterly basis and
through review by a subcommittee of the ERMC.
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 (for commercial loans) or loan delinquency status (for consumer loans) 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. For
loans determined to be impaired, we measure the level of impairment by comparing the loans
carrying value to fair value using one of the following fair value measurement techniques: present
value of expected future cash flows, observable market price, or fair value of the associated
collateral. An allowance is established when the fair value implies a value that is lower than the
carrying value. In addition to establishing allowance levels for specifically identified higher
risk graded or high delinquency loans, management determines an allowance for all other loans in
the portfolio for which historical or projected experience indicates that certain losses will
occur. 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 year ended December 31, 2004 were $22.8 million, or 0.7% of average
loans, compared to $33.9 million, or 1.1% of average loans during 2003. Net charge-offs in 2002
were $15.4 million or 0.7% of average loans. At December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan and lease
losses was 1.3% of outstanding loans and leases, compared to 2.0% at year-end 2003, and 1.8% at
year-end 2002. The decrease in charge-offs and allowance is a result of improvements in credit
quality associated with tighter underwriting guidelines in our home equity business and an
improving economy.
The following table shows an analysis of our consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses:

Total nonperforming loans and leases at December 31, 2004, were $33.7 million, compared
to $44.4 million at December 31, 2003, and $31.1 million at December 31, 2002. Nonperforming loans
and leases as a percent of total loans and leases at December 31, 2004 were 0.9%, compared to 1.4%
at December 31, 2003, and 1.1% in 2002. The 2004 decrease occurred primarily at the commercial
banking line of business (where nonperforming loans decreased from $26.6 million at December 31,
2003 to $21.2 million at the end of 2004) and at the home equity lending line of business (where
they decreased to $6.4 million at December 31, 2004, compared to $11.2 million at the end of 2003).
Nonperforming loan and leases at the commercial finance line of business decreased from $4.1
million at December 31, 2003 to $3.9 million at December 31, 2004.
Other real estate we owned totaled $9.4 million at December 31, 2004, up from $6.4 million at
December 31, 2003, which was up from $5.3 million at the same date in 2002. The increase in 2004
relates to the mortgage banking line of business. We also include in our nonperforming assets
category nonperforming loans held for sale that are not guaranteed which increased to $2.1 million
at
55
December 31, 2004 compared to $1.7 million at the end of 2003. These loans also reside at the
mortgage banking line of business. Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2004 were $45.2
million, or 0.9% of total assets. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2003, totaled $52.5 million,
or 1.1% of total assets, compared to $37.6 million, or 0.8%, in 2002.

For the periods presented, the year-end balances of any restructured loans are reflected
in the table above either in the amounts shown for accruing loans past due 90 days or more or in
the amounts shown for nonaccrual loans and leases.
Loans that are past due 90 days or more are placed on nonaccrual status unless, in
managements opinion, there is sufficient collateral value to offset both principal and interest.
The $45.2 million of nonperforming assets at December 31, 2004, were concentrated at our lines of
business as follows:

Interest income of approximately $2.9 million would have been recorded during 2004 on
nonaccrual and renegotiated loans if such loans had been accruing interest throughout the year in
accordance with their original terms. The amount of interest income actually recorded during the
year of 2004 on nonaccrual and restructured loans was approximately $1.2 million.
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, prepayments 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 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 December
31, 2004, the ratio of loans and loans held for sale to total deposits was 128%. We are comfortable
with this relatively high level due to our position in first mortgage loans held for sale ($0.7
billion) and second mortgage loans and leases financed through matched-term secured financing ($0.6
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 December 31, 2004 was 91%.

The table above describes our on-balance sheet contractual obligations. As described in the
line of business sections, both mortgage banking and home equity lending fund a high percentage of
their loan production via whole loan sales and/or asset securitization. It is, therefore, important
to note that loan sales/securitizations that occur frequently in our first mortgage loan and home
equity loan businesses have proven reliable (e.g., even in unstable market environments such as the
weeks after September 11th, 2001) and are an important element in our liquidity management. That
reliability notwithstanding, we have policies and procedures in place for contingency liquidity
actions should these secondary markets be closed for short periods of time. Our contingency
planning simulations suggest that secondary market disruptions lasting more than a couple weeks
would, however, cause us in most scenarios to need to curtail loan production until those markets
could recover and are once again fully functioning.
The mortgage banking line of business sells virtually all of its mortgage loan originations
within 30 days of funding, taking them off our balance sheet. Therefore, the on-balance sheet
funding of first mortgage loans is for the brief period of time from origination to
sale/securitization. In 2004, the home equity lending line of business produced $1.4 billion and
the sum of home equity loan sales and secured financings totaled $1.7 billion.
Beginning in 2002, home equity loan securitizations were retained on-balance sheet, moving
away from gain-on-sale treatment. As a result, both the securitized assets and the funding from the
securitization are now reflected on the balance sheet. From a liquidity perspective, the
securitizations in 2002 through 2004 provided matched funding for the life of the loans making up
the securitizations unless we choose to utilize a clean-up call provision to terminate the
securitization funding early. A clean-up call typically is optional at our discretion. It can
typically be made once outstanding loan balances in the securitization fall below 10% of the
original loan balance in the securitization. Bond principal payments are dependent upon principal
collections on the underlying loans. Prepayment speeds can affect the timing and amount of loan
principal payments. The table of contractual obligations above reflects our current estimate of the
principal collection on these loans.
Deposits consist of three primary types: non-maturity transaction account deposits,
certificates of deposit (CDs), and escrow account deposits. Core deposits exclude jumbo CDs,
brokered CDs, public funds and mortgage escrow deposits, although the escrow deposits exhibit
core-like maturity characteristics. Core deposits totaled $2.2 billion at December 31, 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 December 31, 2004, these deposit types totaled $1.9 billion, an
increase of $0.8 billion from December 31, 2003. We monitor overall deposit balances daily with
particular attention given to larger accounts that have the potential for larger daily fluctuations
and which are at greater risk to be withdrawn should there be an industry-wide or bank-specific
event that might cause uninsured depositors to be concerned about the safety of their deposits. On
a monthly basis we model the expected impact on liquidity from moderate and severe liquidity stress
scenarios as one of our tools to ensure that our liquidity is sufficient.
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. CDs issued directly to
customers totaled $0.5 billion at December 31, 2004 and 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 $0.3 billion at December 31, 2004, and had an average remaining
life of 14 months as compared to $0.3 billion outstanding with an 18 month average remaining life
at December 31, 2003.
57
Escrow account deposits are related to the servicing of our 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 December 31, 2004 these escrow balances totaled $0.7 billion,
compared to $0.6 billion at 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). We utilize their collateralized borrowing
programs to help fund qualifying first mortgage, home equity and commercial real estate loans. As
of December 31, 2004, FHLBI borrowings outstanding totaled $0.1 billion, a $0.2 billion decrease
from December 31, 2003. We had sufficient collateral pledged to FHLBI at December 31, 2004 to
borrow an additional $0.7 billion, if needed.
In addition to borrowings from the FHLBI, we use other lines of credit as needed. At December
31, 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: none outstanding on a $150
million committed borrowing facility |
|
|
|
|
Lines of credit with correspondent banks, including fed funds lines: none 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 $50 million committed borrowing facility |
|
|
|
|
Warehouse lines of credit to fund Canadian sourced small ticket leases: $166 million
outstanding on $283 million of borrowing facilities |
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 December 31,
2004, the amount unsettled by the GSE on these facilities and the total facility amount were as
follows:
|
|
|
Committed warehouse sale facility: $343 million unsettled on a $600 million facility |
|
|
|
|
Uncommitted warehouse sale facility: none unsettled on a $150 million facility |
|
|
|
|
Investor warehouse sale facility: $81 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 the potential change in market value of all
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities and also the potential change in earnings resulting from
changes in interest rates. Our corporate-level ALMC oversees the interest rate risk profile of all
of our lines of business as a whole and is represented at 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, caps and floors that exist on some variable rate
instruments, 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.
58
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 lines of business all assume interest rate
risk by holding mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). These assets are recorded at lower of cost or
fair market value. Among other items, a key determinant to the value of MSRs is the prevailing
level of interest rates. We purchase derivative securities to mitigate the expected volatility in
the value of these assets.
Our mortgage, commercial banking and home equity lending lines of business also are exposed to
the risk that interest rates will decline, possibly 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; and |
|
|
|
|
volatility: the level of volatility in market interest rates and the related impact on
our asset values and derivatives instrument values. |
This strategy may, at times, result in variability in inter-quarter 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 December 31, 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 and permanent 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
December 31, 2004, although certain accounts 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 tables that follow should be used with caution.
59
|
|
|
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 management 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 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 December 31, 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. |
|
|
|
|
The tables below show modeled changes in interest rates for individual asset classes.
Asset classes in our portfolio have interest rate sensitivity tied to different underlying
indices or instruments. While the rate sensitivity of individual asset classes presented
below is our best estimate of changes in value due to interest rate changes, the total
potential change figures are subject to basis risk between value changes of individual
assets and liabilities which has not been included in the model. |
|
|
|
|
Finally, few of the asset classes shown react to interest rate changes in a linear
fashion. That is, the point estimates we have made at Current and +/2% and +/1% are
good estimates at those amounts of rate change, but it may not be accurate to interpolate
linearly between those points. This is most evident in products that contain optionality in
payment timing or pricing such as mortgage servicing or nonmaturity transaction deposits. |

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 responsibility for approving 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 enterprise-wide
operational risk oversight function reports to the Chief Risk Officer, who in turn reports to the
Audit and Risk Management Committee of our Board of Directors and chairs our Enterprise-Wide Risk
Management Committee. We have an enterprise-wide compliance oversight function. The compliance
oversight function reports to our Chief Risk Officer. We have developed Risk and Control Summaries
(RACS) for our key business processes.
61
Line of business and corporate-level managers use the RACS to assist in identifying
operational and other risks for the purpose of monitoring and strengthening internal and disclosure
controls. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Board of Directors, as well as
the Boards of our subsidiaries, use the RACS to assist in overseeing and assessing the adequacy of
our internal and disclosure controls, including the adequacy of our controls over financial
reporting as required by section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and FDICIA.
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. We follow the same credit policies in
making commitments and contractual obligations as we do for our on-balance sheet instruments.
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 December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
respectively, were $719.7 million and $546.5 million. We had $24.6 million and $30.8 million in
irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 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.
In March 2003, 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 December 31, 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 (losses)
during the year ended December 31, 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. Additionally, we entered into an interest
rate swap that met the criteria for the application of SFAS 133 hedge treatment accounting. This
swap has a notional amount (which does not represent the amount of risk) of $10 million to hedge a
fixed rate certificate of deposit. Under the terms of the swap agreement, we receive a fixed rate
of interest and pay a floating rate of interest based upon three-month LIBOR.
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 qualifies 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 December
31, 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 December 31, 2004 was $0.5 million and the hedge ineffectiveness in 2004
was a loss of $2.7 million. The effect of these hedging activities was recorded through earnings as
a component of Gain from sale of loans.
62
We enter into commitments to originate mortgage 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. For 2004,
a net decrease in fair value of these derivatives totaling $6.5 million was recorded in Gain from
sale of loans. At December 31, 2004, we had a notional amount of rate lock commitments outstanding
totaling $0.9 billion with a fair value of $1.5 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 with 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 December 31, 2004, the notional value and 2004 loss on the interest rate caps were $26
million and $43 thousand, respectively. As of December 31, 2004, the total notional amount
and year-to-date gain on the Eurodollar futures were $95 million and $40 thousand,
respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2003, on several occasions we have delivered fixed
rate leases into a second commercial paper conduit. Although the leases and funding were in
Canadian dollars (CAD), the interest rate mismatch is 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 four amortizing CAD interest rate swaps have
been executed, although Irwin is only a counterparty on three of the swaps. The fourth swap
is between the commercial paper conduit and an outside party, but affects the conduit
funding cost that is charged to Irwin. For the first and second of the three swaps on
Irwins books, we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate. For the third
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 losses on these swaps at
December 31, 2004 were $176.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. |
Certain of our home equity fixed rate residual interests are funded with floating rate
liabilities. Starting in the first quarter of 2004, we began entering into Eurodollar futures
contracts to manage such mismatches. The original positions taken are typically rebalanced
quarterly. The current notional value outstanding is $495 million (which does not represent the
amount at risk) with expiration dates ranging from March 2005 through September 2006. As of
December 31, 2004, the fair value and year-to-date gain recorded on these contracts were $0.5
million and $0.9 million, respectively.
We manage the interest rate risk associated with our mortgage servicing rights at our mortgage
banking and commercial banking lines of business through the use of swaptions and Eurodollar
futures contracts. Both the options and futures contracts 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 December 31, 2004, we held open swaption positions with a notional value
(which does not represent the amount at risk) totaling $9.7 billion, with a final maturity ranging
from January 2005 to March 2005. In 2004 we recorded gains on swaptions, including premiums paid,
totaling $23.5 million. We held no Eurodollar futures contracts at December 31, 2004, but we
recorded losses of $4.4 million on contracts held during the year. 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.
We are subject to basis risk in the management of our servicing portfolio. Currently, the
basis risk is moving in a manner opposite to historic patterns, negatively affecting management of
these assets. As discussed in more detail in the section of this report on Interest Rate Risk, we
have approximately $1.6 million of mortgage servicing rights at risk to each one basis point change
in interest rates. We typically counter-act this risk with the use of derivatives with a similar
basis point value. Over time, this hedge has performed well in mitigating loss in value when
interest rates have declined and has been structured in such a manner so that we can recapture some
of the increase in value of servicing rights as rates rise, without losing an equal amount on our
derivatives. Over the past six months, however, basis risk in our servicing asset and derivative
position has caused our hedging position to be less effective than it has been historically as
recent declines in mortgage rates has not been matched with equal declines in swap rates.
Finally, while basis risk exhibits stability over longer periods of time, over shorter periods
there can be separation in the relative spreads of interest rates and indices used to value
mortgage servicing rights and the financial derivatives we use to hedge the change in value in
mortgage servicing rights. At times this basis risk benefits us and at other times it does not. It
is generally not possible to eliminate this basis risk. 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 such as quarters.
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 $48 million in forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2004. In 2004 we
recognized losses on these contracts of $3.2 million. These contracts are marked-to-market with
gains
63
and losses included in Derivative gains or losses on the consolidated income statements. The
foreign currency transaction gain on the intercompany loans was $2.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004.

Results of Operations found on pages 71 through 74.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Management Report on Responsibility for Financial Reporting
The management of Irwin Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries has the responsibility of
preparing the accompanying financial statements and for their integrity and objectivity. The
statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and are not
misstated due to fraud or material error. The financial statements include amounts that are based
on managements best estimates and judgments. Management also prepared the other information in the
annual report and is responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the financial statements.
Our financial statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent
registered public accounting firm. Management has made available to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP all
of Irwin Financials financial records and related data, as well as the minutes of stockholders
and directors meetings. Furthermore, management believes that all representations made to
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP during its audit were valid and appropriate.
Management also recognizes its responsibility for fostering a strong ethical climate so that
our affairs are conducted according to the highest standards of personal and corporate conduct.
This responsibility is articulated in our Guiding Philosophy, a condensed version of which has been
published in our annual report since 1995. Employees at all levels of the Corporation are trained
in our Guiding Philosophy. This responsibility is also reflected in our Code of Conduct. The Code
of Conduct addresses, among other things, the necessity of ensuring open communication within Irwin
Financial; potential conflicts of interest; compliance with all domestic and foreign laws,
including those related to financial disclosures; and confidentiality of proprietary information.
We maintain a systematic program to assess compliance with these policies.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Irwin Financial Corporation:
We have completed an integrated audit of Irwin Financial Corporations 2004 consolidated financial
statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and audits
of its 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are
presented below.
Consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated
statements of income, of changes in shareholders equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Irwin Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial
statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Corporation has restated its 2004 consolidated financial
statements.
Internal control over financial reporting
Also, we have audited managements assessment, included in Managements Report on Internal Control
over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company did
not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because
the Company did not maintain effective controls over the selection and application of generally
accepted accounting principles to incentive servicing fees received from whole loan sales to third
parties, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management
is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility
is to express opinions on managements assessment and on the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal
control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting
includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating
managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or
combination of control deficiencies, that results
in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified
and included in managements assessment. As of December 31, 2004, the Company did not maintain
effective controls over the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles
related to incentive servicing fees received from whole loan sales to third parties. Specifically, the
Company accounted for these incentive servicing fees as derivative financial instruments instead of
mortgage service rights as required by generally accepted accounting principles. This control
deficiency resulted in the restatement of the 2004 consolidated financial statements and the
consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2005.
Additionally, this control deficiency if not corrected or remediated could result
in a misstatement of the derivative balance sheet and income statement accounts that would result
in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or
detected. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a
material weakness. This material weakness was considered in evaluating the nature, timing, and
extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, and our
opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting does
not affect our opinion on these consolidated financial statements.
Management and we previously concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. In connection with the restatement of the Companys
consolidated financial statements described in Note 2 to the
65
consolidated financial statements, management has determined that the material weakness described
above existed as of December 31, 2004. Accordingly, Managements Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting has been restated and our present opinion on internal control over financial
reporting, as presented herein, is different from that expressed in our previous report.
In our opinion, managements assessment that Irwin Financial Corporation did not maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in
all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework
issued by the COSO. Also, in our opinion, because of the effects of the material weakness described
above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Irwin Financial Corporation did
not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based
on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation: Irwin Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Corporation) provide
financial services throughout the United States (U.S.) and Canada. 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Foreign Currency: Assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars are translated into
U.S. dollars at rates prevailing on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at
average rates of exchange for the year. Unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses
are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity.
Investment Securities: Those investment securities that we have the positive intent and
ability to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are stated at cost adjusted
for amortization of premium and accretion of discount (adjusted cost). Investment securities that
might be sold prior to maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are stated at fair
value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities, net of the future
tax impact, are reported as a separate component of shareholders equity until realized. Investment
securities gains and losses are based on the amortized cost of the specific investment security
determined on a specific identification basis.
Residual Interests: Residual interests are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses
are included in earnings. Until the first quarter of 2002, whenever we sold receivables in
securitizations of home equity loans and lines of credit, we sold assets and 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 in a manner that qualified for
gain-on-sale accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 140, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. 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.
Loans Held For Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market,
determined on an aggregate basis for both performing and nonperforming loans. Cost basis includes
deferred origination fees and costs. Loans held for sale that qualify for hedge accounting are
carried at fair value. Fair value is determined based on the contract price at which the mortgage
loans will be sold. Included in loans held for sale at the mortgage line of business were loans for
which we have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase due to default, under the terms of
the government servicing agency contracts. Upon default, we have the non-contingent right to
repurchase these loans which causes repurchase accounting under SFAS 140. The liability
associated with these loans is reflected in Other Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Loans: Loans are carried at amortized cost. Loan origination fees and costs are deferred and
the net amounts are amortized as an adjustment to yield using the interest method. When loans are
sold, deferred fees and costs are included with outstanding principal balances to determine gains
or losses. Interest income on loans is computed daily based on the principal amount of loans
outstanding. The accrual of interest income is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days
past due as to principal or interest. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when
the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and
accrued interest.
71
Direct Financing Leases: Interest and service charges, net of initial direct costs, are
deferred and reported as income in decreasing amounts over the life of the lease, which generally
average three to four years, so as to provide an approximate constant yield on the outstanding
principal balance.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses: The allowance for loan and lease losses is an estimate
based on managements 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 on a quarterly basis.
Within the allowance, there are specific and expected loss components. The specific loss
component is assessed for loans we believe to be impaired in accordance with SFAS 114. We have
defined impairment as nonaccrual loans. For loans determined to be impaired, we measure the level
of impairment by comparing the loans carrying value to fair value using one of the following fair
value measurement techniques: present value of expected future cash flows, observable market price,
or fair value of the associated collateral. An allowance is established when the fair value implies
a value that 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 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 applied against each product type and aging category. The loss ratio is
generally based upon historic loss experience for each loan type as adjusted for certain
environmental factors management believes to be relevant.
Servicing Assets: When we securitize or sell loans, we generally retain the right to service
the underlying loans sold. A portion of the cost basis of loans sold is allocated to this servicing
asset based on its fair value relative to the loans sold and the servicing asset combined. We use
the market prices under comparable servicing sale contracts, when available, or alternatively use
valuation models that calculate the present value of future cash flows to determine the fair value
of the servicing assets. In using this valuation method, we incorporate assumptions that we believe
market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, which include estimates of
the cost of servicing per loan, the discount rate, float value, an inflation rate, ancillary income
per loan, prepayment speeds, and default rates. Servicing assets are amortized over the estimated
lives of the related loans in proportion to estimated net servicing income.
In determining servicing value impairment, the servicing portfolio is stratified into its
predominant risk characteristics, principally by interest rate and product type. Each stratum is
valued using market prices under comparable servicing sale contracts when available, or
alternatively, using the same model as was used to originally determine the fair value at
origination using current market assumptions. The calculated value is then compared with the book
value of each stratum to determine the required reserve for impairment. The impairment reserve
fluctuates as interest rates change and, therefore, no reasonable estimate can be made as to future
increases or declines in impaired reserve levels. We also compare actual cash collections to
projected cash collections and adjust our models as appropriate. In addition, we periodically have
independent valuations performed on the portfolio. Other than temporary impairment is 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 is no
related direct impact on net income as this other than temporary impairment affects only balance
sheet accounts. However, a write-down will result in a reduction of amortization expense and
potentially reduced recovery of impairment in future periods.
Incentive Servicing Fees: For whole loan sales of certain home equity loans, in addition to
our normal servicing fee, we have the right to an incentive servicing fee (ISF) that will provide
cash payments to us if a pre-established return for the certificate holders and certain
structure-specific loan credit and servicing performance metrics are met. These ISF arrangements
are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. When ISF agreements are entered into simultaneously
with the whole loan sales, the fair value of the ISFs is estimated and considered when determining
the initial gain or loss on sale. That allocated fair value of the ISF is periodically evaluated
for impairment and amortized in accordance with SFAS 140. Consistent with the treatment of all of
the Corporations servicing assets, ISFs are accounted for on a lower of cost or market (LOCOM)
basis. Therefore, if the fair value of the ISFs in subsequent periods exceeds cost basis, then
revenue is recognized as preestablished performance metrics are met and cash is due. When ISF
agreements are entered into subsequent to the whole loan sale, these assets are assigned a zero
value and revenue is recognized on a contingent basis as pre-established performance metrics are
met and cash is due.
Derivative Instruments: All derivative instruments have been recorded at fair value and are
classified as other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets in accordance
with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
72
Derivative instruments that are used in our risk management strategy may qualify for hedge
accounting if the derivatives are designated as fair value, cash flow or foreign currency hedges
and applicable hedge criteria are met. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly
effective (as defined by SFAS 133) and qualifies as a fair value hedge, along with changes in the
fair value of the underlying hedged item, are recorded in current period earnings. Changes in the
fair value of a derivative that is highly effective (as defined by SFAS 133) and qualifies as a
cash flow hedge or foreign currency hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded
in other comprehensive income until earnings are recognized from the underlying hedged item. Net
gains or losses resulting from hedge ineffectiveness are recorded in current period earnings.
We use certain derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under
SFAS 133. These derivatives are classified as other assets or other liabilities and marked to
market in the consolidated income statements. While we do not seek hedge accounting treatment for
these instruments, their economic purpose is to manage the risk of existing exposures to either
interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.
Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is determined by the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets.
Venture Capital Investments: Venture capital investments held by Irwin Ventures are carried
at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other income. The investment committee of
Irwin Ventures determines the value of these nonpublicly traded investments at the end of each
reporting period based upon review of the investees financial results, condition, and prospects.
Changes in estimated fair values can also be made when an event such as a new round of funding from
other private equity investors would cause a change in estimated market value. In the future,
should the company have investments in publicly-traded securities, it would look to the traded
market value of the investments as the basis of its mark-to-market.
Other Assets: Included in other assets are real estate properties acquired as a result of
foreclosure. These real estate properties are carried at the lower of the recorded investment in
the related loan or fair value of the property less estimated costs to sell.
Income Taxes: A consolidated tax return is filed for all eligible entities. In accordance
with SFAS 109, deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method, which establishes a
deferred tax asset or liability based on temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or
liability and the basis recorded in the financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the consolidated balance sheets, we consider cash
and due from banks to be cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Employee Compensation: We have three stock-based employee compensation plans,
which are described more fully in Note 20, Shareholders Equity. We use the intrinsic value
method to account for our plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting
Principles Board (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. The following table illustrates
the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation:

In determining compensation expense above, the weighted average fair value of each option was
estimated to be $10.41, $9.70, and $6.99 on the date of the grant with the following assumptions
for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively: weighted average risk free
73
interest rates of 4.42%, 3.90%, and 4.54%; dividend yield of 1.00% and volatility of 40% for
2004, 2003 and 2002; and a weighted average expected life of six and a half years in 2004 and seven
years in 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Recent Accounting Developments: We adopted FIN 46 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 (collectively the 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. Details about the IFC Trusts
and debentures can be found in Note 13, Other Long-Term Debt. On March 1, 2005, the Federal
Reserve Board reached final conclusion on the continued qualification of Trust Preferred Securities
as Tier 1 regulatory capital.
In December 2003 the FASB issued a revised Statement 132 (SFAS 132R), Employers Disclosures
about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits which changed the disclosure requirements for
employers pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, including information describing
the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement dates, plan obligations and cash flows.
SFAS 132R did not change the measurement or recognition of those plans required by other related
accounting standards. The disclosure requirements of SFAS 132R were effective for periods after
December 15, 2003. These disclosures as well as additional annual disclosures required by SFAS 132R
have been included in these financial statements.
In December 2004 the FASB issued a revised Statement 123 (SFAS 123R), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation requiring public entities to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on grant date fair value. The cost
will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in
exchange for the award usually the vesting period. The effective date for this statement is as of
the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. We are evaluating the impact of this new
pronouncement and expect it to be comparable to the pro forma effects of applying the original SFAS
123 as detailed above.
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 2003 and 2002 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 2 Restatement of Financials
Management and the Audit & Risk Management Committee (the Audit Committee) of the Board of
Directors of the corporation determined on November 3, 2005 that the initial filing of our annual
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Corporations Annual
Report on Form 10-K should no longer be relied upon and should be restated as further described
below.
For whole loan sales of certain home equity loans, we enter into contracts that provide for
incentive servicing fees (ISFs) that may be earned in addition to the fees received as servicer of
the loans sold. Under ISF contracts, we receive cash payments from buyers of certain of our home
equity loans if our servicing of the sold loans meets specific performance targets. Our historical
practice had been to account for ISFs as derivative instruments under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity (SFAS
133). As part of our review and preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, and based on additional interpretive input, we determined that incentive
servicing fees should be treated in accordance with SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Therefore, for ISFs entered into
simultaneously with the whole loan sales, the fair value of the ISFs will be estimated and
considered when determining the initial gain or loss on sale. Consistent with the treatment of all
of the Corporations servicing assets, ISFs are accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis.
Therefore, if the fair value of the ISFs in subsequent periods exceeds cost basis, then revenue is
recognized as preestablished performance metrics are met and cash is due. When ISF contracts are
entered into subsequent to the whole loan sale, we assign a zero value and record revenue only
when performance metrics have been met and cash is due. The cumulative impact of this error was an
overstatement of income (after tax) of $2.1 million during 2004. This filing is undertaken as part
of this restatement of ISFs.
In light of the restatement of financial statements for full year 2004, the Corporation has
made other adjusting entries to record a reduction in tax reserves in the proper periods in 2004
instead of the first quarter of 2005. These tax reserve adjustments, which were considered
immaterial prior to the restatement, had the effect of increasing 2004 net income by $0.7 million
and reducing 2005 net income by the same amount. The tables below outline the impact of these
adjustments on previously reported periods (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 3 Restrictions on Cash
Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. are required to maintain
average noninterest bearing reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. At December 31, 2004,
we exceeded this requirement.
Note 4 Sales of Receivables
Under our past securitization program, home equity loans were sold to limited purpose,
bankruptcy-remote wholly-owned subsidiaries. In turn, these subsidiaries established separate
trusts to which they transferred the home equity loans in exchange for the proceeds from the sale
of asset-backed securities issued by the trust. The trusts activities are generally limited to
acquiring the home equity loans, issuing asset-backed securities and making payments on the
securities. Due to the nature of the assets held by the trusts and the limited nature of each
trusts activities, they are classified as qualified special-purpose entities under SFAS 140.
Prior to 2003, we sold home equity loans and lines of credit in gain-on-sale securitization
transactions resulting in the creation of residual interests. We held residual interests related to
these transactions totaling $51.5 million and $70.5 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. We receive annual servicing fees of approximately 0.5% to 1.0% of the outstanding
balance and rights to future cash flows arising after the investors in the securitization trust
have received the return for which they contracted. The investors and the securitization trusts
have no recourse to our other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due. Our residual interests
are subordinate to investors interests. The value of the residual interests is subject to
prepayment, credit, and interest rate risks in the transferred financial assets.
We recognized pretax gains on sale of $2.5 million on the securitization of home equity loans
and lines of credit at our home equity line of business during 2002. No securitizations accounted
for as gain on sale took place in 2003 or 2004. No residual interests of this type have been
created since the first quarter of 2002.
75
At December 31, 2004, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value
of all residual cash flows to immediate 10 percent and 25 percent adverse changes in those
assumptions were as follows:

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate,
changes in fair value based on a 10 percent and 25 percent variation in assumptions generally
cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair
value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption
on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption; in
reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might magnify or counteract
the sensitivities. A decrease in the constant prepayment rate is an adverse change, due to the
large amount of overcollateralization in the portfolio. Increases to expected credit losses and
discount rate are adverse changes.

At December 31, 2004, mortgage loans held for investment with a carrying value of $0.6 billion
were pledged as collateral for bonds payable to investors (See Note 12).
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are collateralized by $0.1 billion in loans and loans held
for sale at December 31, 2004.
Commercial loans are extended primarily to local regional businesses in the market areas of
our commercial banking line of business. To a lesser extent, we also provide consumer loans to the
customers in those markets. Real estate loans, franchise loans and direct financing leases are
extended throughout the United States and Canada.
We make loans to directors and officers, and to organizations and individuals with which our
directors and officers are associated. All outstanding loans and commitments included in such
transactions were made in the normal course of business and on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or
present other unfavorable features. All such loans outstanding at December 31, 2004 were current in
payment of principal and interest. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans outstanding at
December 31, 2004 and 2003 represented approximately 1% of total equity.

The 2004 provision and allowance for loan and lease losses reflects transactions related to
the transfer and sale or pending sale of portfolio loans associated with two portfolio sales at our
home equity lending line of business. We transferred $355 million in loans to loans held for sale
when the decisions were made to sell these portfolio loans. These loans had an associated allowance
of $20.6 million. The loans were transferred with an allowance of $10.8 million to reduce their
carrying value to fair market value. After the transfers, the remaining $9.8 million of excess
allowance was reversed through the provision for loan and lease losses.

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 does result in a reduction of amortization expense and potentially reduced recovery
of impairment in future periods. |
The servicing assets had a fair value of $371.9 million and $393.5 million at December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004, key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of
the current carrying value of mortgage servicing rights to immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in
those assumptions are as follows (dollars in thousands):

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate,
changes in value based on a 10% and 20% variation in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated
because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in value may not be linear.
Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the value of the
servicing asset is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one
factor may result in changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may result
in lower prepayments), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
The servicing portfolio underlying the portion of our servicing assets carried on our balance
sheet was $28.3 billion and $31.1 billion at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Key economic
assumptions used in determining the carrying value of mortgage servicing assets capitalized in 2004
were as follows:

|
|
|
|
Prepayment rates |
|
|
5.10-46.67 |
%(1) |
Discount rates |
|
|
8.50-14.00 |
%(1) |
|
|
|

|
The mortgage banking component of consolidated servicing assets was 87%. The prepayment rates
range from 5.10% to 11.12% and discount rates range from 8.5% to 14.0% at this line of
business. |

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings are collateralized by $129 million in loans and loans held
for sale at December 31, 2004.
Drafts payable are related to mortgage closings at the end of December 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.
At December 31, 2004 we have lines of credit available of $1.2 billion to fund loan
originations and operations. Interest on the lines of credit is payable monthly or quarterly with
rates ranging from 2.2% to 3.5%.
Note 12 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 as we maintain
effective control over the loans and leases securitized. This type of structure results in cash
being received (and subsequently used by us to pay down short-term fundings), debt being recorded,
and the establishment of an allowance for credit losses. The notes associated with these
transactions are collateralized by $0.6 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. The 2002-1 and 2003-1 asset backed structures were sold during
2004 resulting in the recognition of a $3.4 million gain and the removal of $355 million of loans
and associated collateralized debt from our balance sheet.

Note 13 Other Long-Term Debt
At December 31, 2004 and 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.
We also have obligations represented by subordinated debentures at December 31, 2004 and 2003
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 December 31, 2004. All debentures and securities are callable at par
after five years from origination date, although at this time we have no announced plans to call.
These securities are all Tier 1 qualifying capital at December 31, 2004. Highlights about these
debentures and the related trusts are listed below:

Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies
Culpepper v. Inland Mortgage Corporation
Our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation (formerly Inland 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
82
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.
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.
United States ex rel. Paranich v. Sorgnard et al.
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. On August 10, 2001, the court dismissed Irwin Financial and Irwin Equipment
Finance as defendants in the suit. 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 heard oral argument on plaintiffs appeal on September 27, 2004. On January 28, 2005,
the court of appeals affirmed the district courts dismissal of plaintiffs action. The period
during which the plaintiff can petition to the United States Supreme Court for writ of certiorari
expires on April 28, 2005.
McIntosh v. Irwin Home Equity Corporation
Our subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, was a defendant in a class action lawsuit
filed in the United States District Court in Massachusetts in July 2001. The case involved loans
purchased by Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company from an unaffiliated third-party originator. The
plaintiffs alleged 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 sought 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.
The parties settled this matter for a nonmaterial amount. The court dismissed the lawsuit with
prejudice on December 16, 2004.
83
Stamper v. A Home of Your Own
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. Irwin Mortgage petitioned the Maryland Court of
Appeals for a writ of certiorari on April 12, 2004. The Court of Appeals granted Irwin Mortgages
petition and heard oral argument on November 4, 2004. On February 4, 2005, the Court of Appeals
affirmed in part and reversed in part the judgment of the Court of Special Appeals, remanding the
case as follows: to modify the judgment for all plaintiffs by striking the award of $145,000 for
non-economic damages; for further proceedings concerning one plaintiff as to non-economic damages;
and for a new trial as to punitive damages. We have reserved for this case based upon SFAS 5
guidance.
Silke v. Irwin Mortgage Corporation
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 June 18, 2004, the court certified a plaintiff class consisting of Indiana borrowers who
were allegedly charged the fee by Irwin Mortgage any time after April 17, 1997. This date was later
clarified by stipulation of the parties to be April 14, 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.
Gutierrez v. Irwin Mortgage Corporation
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 alleged 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
sought to certify a class consisting of similarly situated borrowers. In August 2004, the
plaintiffs amended their complaint to remove the allegations that Irwin Mortgage charged excess
fees. After a period of discovery, the parties settled this case for a nonmaterial amount.
Cohens v. Inland Mortgage Corporation
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 March 31, 2005. 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.
Litigation in Connection with Loans Purchased from Community Bank of Northern Virginia
Our subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, is a defendant in several actions in
connection with loans Irwin Union Bank purchased from Community Bank of Northern Virginia
(Community).
Hobson v. Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company was filed on July 30, 2004 in the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. As amended on August 30, 2004, the Hobson
complaint, seeks certification of both a plaintiffs and a defendants class, the plaintiffs class
to consist of all persons who obtained loans from Community and whose loans were purchased by Irwin
Union Bank. Hobson alleges that defendants violated the Truth-in-Lending Act (TILA), the Home
Ownership and Equity Protection Act (HOEPA), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and
the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). On October 12, 2004, Irwin filed a
motion to dismiss the Hobson claims as untimely filed and substantively defective.
Kossler v. Community Bank of Northern Virginia was originally filed in July 2002 in the United
States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Irwin Union Bank and Trust was
added as a defendant in December 2004. The Kossler complaint
84
seeks certification of a plaintiffs class and seeks to void the mortgage loans as illegal
contracts. Plaintiffs also seek recovery against Irwin for alleged RESPA violations and for
conversion.
The plaintiffs in Hobson and Kossler claim that Community was allegedly engaged in a lending
arrangement involving the use of its charter by certain third parties who charged high fees that
were not representative of the services rendered and not properly disclosed as to the amount or
recipient of the fees. The loans in question are allegedly high cost/high interest loans under
Section 32 of HOEPA. Plaintiffs also allege illegal kickbacks and fee splitting. In Hobson, the
plaintiffs allege that Irwin was aware of Communitys alleged arrangement when Irwin purchased the
loans and that Irwin participated in a RICO enterprise and conspiracy related to the loans. Because
Irwin bought the loans from Community, the Hobson plaintiffs are alleging that Irwin has assignee
liability under HOEPA.
If the Hobson and Kossler plaintiffs are successful in establishing a class and prevailing at
trial, possible RESPA remedies could include treble damages for each service for which there was an
unearned fee, kickback or overvalued service. Other possible damages in Hobson could include TILA
remedies, such as rescission, actual damages, statutory damages not to exceed the lesser of
$500,000 or 1% of the net worth of the creditor, and attorneys fees and costs; possible HOEPA
remedies could include the refunding of all closing costs, finance charges and fees paid by the
borrower; RICO remedies could include treble plaintiffs actually proved damages. In addition, the
Hobson plaintiffs are seeking unspecified punitive damages. Under TILA, HOEPA, RESPA and RICO,
statutory remedies include recovery of attorneys fees and costs. Other possible damages in Kossler
could include the refunding of all origination fees paid by the plaintiffs.
Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company is also a defendant, along with Community, in two
individual actions (Chatfield v. Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, et al. and Ransom v. Irwin
Union Bank and Trust Company, et al.) filed on June 9, 2004 in the Circuit Court of Frederick
County, Maryland, involving mortgage loans Irwin Union Bank purchased from Community. On July 16,
2004, both of these lawsuits were removed to the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland. The complaints allege that the plaintiffs did not receive disclosures required under
HOEPA and TILA. The lawsuits also allege violations of Maryland law because the plaintiffs were
allegedly charged or contracted for a prepayment penalty fee. Irwin believes the plaintiffs
received the required disclosures and that Community, a Virginia-chartered bank, was permitted to
charge prepayment fees to Maryland borrowers. Under the loan purchase agreements between Irwin and
Community, Irwin has the right to demand repurchase of the mortgage loans and to seek
indemnification from Community for the claims in these lawsuits.
Under the loan purchase agreement between Irwin and Community, Irwin has the right to demand
repurchase of the mortgage loans and indemnification from Community for these claims. On September
17, 2004, Irwin made a demand for indemnification and a defense to Hobson, Chatfield and Ransom.
Community denied this request as premature.
On December 22, 2004, Irwin filed a motion with the Judicial Panel On Multidistrict Litigation
requesting a transfer of Hobson, Chatfield and Ransom to the Western District of Pennsylvania for
coordinated or consolidated proceedings with the Kossler action. That motion was accepted by the
Panel, and plaintiffs filed a motion in opposition.
At this early stage, we are unable to form a reasonable estimate of the amount of potential
loss, if any, that Irwin could suffer. We have established a reserve for the Community litigation
based upon the advice of legal counsel.
Litigation Related to NorVergence, Inc.
Irwin Business Finance, our indirect subsidiary, is involved on a national basis in equipment
leasing finance and maintains a diverse portfolio of leases, including leases in the
telecommunications field. A portion of Irwins telecommunications portfolio involves leases of
equipment acquired from NorVergence, Inc., a New Jersey-based telecommunications company. After
assigning leases to Irwin and other lenders, NorVergence became a debtor in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy,
which is currently pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court in New Jersey. The sudden failure
of NorVergence left many of its customers without telecommunications service. These customers
became very angry when commitments made to them by NorVergence went unfulfilled.
Complaints by former NorVergence customers have led to investigations by the attorneys general
of several states. Irwin Business Finance has been named as a defendant in several lawsuits
connected with NorVergence. Exquisite Caterers, LLC et al. v. Popular Leasing et al. is a lawsuit
filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Monmouth County, and was amended to include Irwin
Business Finance and others on September 1, 2004. The Exquisite Caterers plaintiffs seek
certification of a class of persons who leased network computer equipment from NorVergence, whose
leases were assigned to defendants. The complaint alleges that NorVergence misrepresented the
services and equipment provided, that the lessees were defrauded and the lease agreements should
not be enforced. The action alleges violations of, among other things, the New Jersey Consumer
Fraud Act; the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty, and Notice Act; the FTC Holder
Rule; the FTC Act; and breach of contract and implied warranties. The plaintiffs
85
seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief, including rescission
of the leases and cessation of collections.
Irwin Business Finance was also named as a defendant, along with other lenders, in Delanco
Board of Education et al. v. IFC Credit Corporation, a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of New
Jersey, Essex County, Chancery Division, in October 2004 in connection with leases assigned to the
lenders by NorVergence. (IFC Credit Corporation is not affiliated with Irwin Financial Corporation
or Irwin Business Finance.) The suit involved more than one thousand plaintiffs and alleged fraud,
misrepresentation and violations of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud law based on alleged conduct
similar to that in Exquisite Caterers, with the addition of a count under the New Jersey RICO
statute. Plaintiffs also alleged unjust enrichment and conversion and sought rescission of the
leases plus punitive and other damages. After failing in an attempt to obtain a temporary
injunction, the plaintiffs agreed to withdraw the complaint filed in the Superior Court and have
now commenced actions in the NorVergence bankruptcy proceeding, seeking similar relief.
Irwin Business Finance was also named as a defendant, along with other lenders, in Sterling
Asset & Equity Corp. et al. v. Preferred Capital, Inc. et al., an action filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Florida in October 2004, which was voluntarily
dismissed in January 2005. The plaintiffs then filed a similar complaint in the Circuit Court of
the 11th Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade County, Florida on January 14, 2005 seeking class
certification on behalf of Florida persons or entities who leased equipment from NorVergence and
whose agreement was assigned to one of the named lenders. The plaintiffs allege that NorVergence
engaged in false, misleading and deceptive sales and billing practices. The complaint alleges
violations of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, the FTC Holder Rule, and breach
of contract and warranties. Plaintiffs seek, among other relief, compensatory and punitive damages,
injunctive and/or declaratory relief prohibiting enforcement of the leases, rescission, return of
payments, interest, attorneys fees and costs.
In addition, Irwin Business Finance has been named in several individual lawsuits involving
equipment and services leased from NorVergence, where the lease was assigned to Irwin Business
Finance. The suits allege fraud and nonfunctional equipment and services. The plaintiffs request
rescission, restitution and/or reformation of the leases and/or a declaration of unenforceability.
These suits were filed in the following jurisdictions: two actions in the District Court of Dallas
County, Texas (July 2004 and October 2004); one action in the Superior Court of California, County
of San Diego (August 2004); and one in the Superior Court of Massachusetts (September 2004). All
but the Massachusetts action have been resolved by agreements under which the lessees have paid a
significant portion of their lease obligations.
In connection with investigations by various state attorneys general, Irwin Business Finance
and other lenders were asked to produce information about their relationships with NorVergence and
to refrain from enforcing NorVergence leases. On October 21, 2004, the Attorney General of Florida
filed a complaint against twelve lenders, including Irwin Business Finance, in the Circuit Court of
the Second Judicial Circuit, Leon County, Florida (State of Florida v. Commerce Commercial Leasing,
LLC et al.). The complaint alleges that the agreements assigned by NorVergence to the lenders are
unconscionable under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. The suit seeks to
prohibit collection activities by the lenders and asks for repayment of revenues, rescission of the
agreements, restitution, recovery of actual damages, and civil money penalties. Prosecution of this
suit against Irwin Business Finance has been stayed by agreement of the parties while they discuss
resolution of the concerns expressed by the Florida Attorney General.
Irwin Business Finance was among a number of lenders to receive a notice of intent to sue from
the Attorney General of New York. In January 2005, Irwin Business Finance reached an agreement with
the New York Attorney General in connection with the five NorVergence-related leases Irwin Business
Finance has with New York lessees. The agreement calls for, among other provisions, forgiveness of
90% of the remaining principal balance due on the leases as of July 15, 2004 (approximately
$116,000). Irwin Business Finance is also communicating with other state attorneys general about
ways in which Irwin Business Finance might work with the states to bring some relief to those who
have suffered as a result of the failure of NorVergence.
We are unable to form a reasonable estimate of potential loss, if any, that Irwin Business
Finance could suffer as a result of ongoing litigation. Agreements with the various state attorneys
general, if reached, would tend to decrease damages awarded, if any, in NorVergence-related class
actions and other lawsuits, because lessees who accept such agreements would normally cease to be
among potential class action plaintiffs. We have not established reserves in connection with
NorVergence-related litigation.
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 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
86
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 under SFAS 5, based in part upon the advice of legal counsel.
Note 15 Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk
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. We follow the same credit policies in
making commitments and contractual obligations as we do for our on-balance sheet instruments.
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 December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $719.7
million and $546.5 million, respectively. These loan commitments include $661.1 million of floating
rate loan commitments and $58.6 million of fixed rate loan commitments. We had approximately $24.6
million and $30.8 million in irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2004
and 2003, respectively.
Note 16 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.
In March 2003, 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 December 31, 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 (losses)
during the year ended December 31, 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. Additionally we entered into an interest
rate swap that met the criteria for the application of SFAS 133 hedge treatment accounting. This
swap has a notional amount (which does not represent the amount of risk) of $10 million to hedge a
fixed rate certificate of deposit. Under the terms of the swap agreement, we receive a fixed rate
of interest and pay a floating rate of interest based upon three-month LIBOR.
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 qualifies 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 December
31, 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 December 31, 2004 was $0.5 million and the hedge ineffectiveness in 2004
was a loss of $2.7 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 mortgage 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. For 2004,
a net decrease in fair value of these derivatives totaling $6.5 million was recorded in Gain from
sale of loans. At December 31, 2004, we had a notional amount of rate lock commitments outstanding
totaling $0.9 billion with a fair value of $1.5 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 with 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 December 31, 2004, the notional value and 2004 loss on the interest rate caps were $26
million and $43 thousand, |
87
|
|
|
respectively. As of December 31, 2004, the total notional amount and year-to-date gain on the
Eurodollar futures were $95 million and $40 thousand, respectively. |
|
|
|
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2003, on several occasions we have delivered fixed
rate leases into a second commercial paper conduit. Although the leases and funding were in
Canadian dollars (CAD), the interest rate mismatch is 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 four amortizing CAD interest rate swaps have
been executed, although Irwin is only a counterparty on three of the swaps. The fourth swap
is between the commercial paper conduit and an outside party, but affects the conduit
funding cost that is charged to Irwin. For the first and second of the three swaps on
Irwins books, we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate. For the third
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 losses on these swaps at
December 31, 2004 were $176.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. |
Certain of our home equity fixed rate residual interests are funded with floating rate
liabilities. Starting in the first quarter of 2004, we began entering into Eurodollar futures
contracts to manage such mismatches. The original positions taken are typically rebalanced
quarterly. The current notional value outstanding is $495 million (which does not represent the
amount at risk) with expiration dates ranging from March 2005 through September 2006. As of
December 31, 2004, the fair value and year-to-date gain recorded on these contracts were $0.5
million and $0.9 million, respectively.
We manage the interest rate risk associated with our mortgage servicing rights at our mortgage
banking and commercial banking lines of business through the use of swaptions and Eurodollar
futures contracts. Both the options and futures contracts 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 December 31, 2004, we held open swaption positions with a notional value
(which does not represent the amount at risk) totaling $9.7 billion, with a final maturity ranging
from January 2005 to March 2005. In 2004 we recorded gains on swaptions, including premiums paid,
totaling $23.5 million. We held no Eurodollar futures contracts at December 31, 2004, but we
recorded losses of $4.4 million on contracts held during the year. 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.
We are subject to basis risk in the management of our servicing portfolio. Currently, the
basis risk is moving in a manner opposite to historic patterns, negatively affecting management of
these assets. As discussed in more detail in the section of this report on Interest Rate Risk, we
have approximately $1.6 million of mortgage servicing rights at risk to each one basis point change
in interest rates. We typically counter-act this risk with the use of derivatives with a similar
basis point value. Over time, this hedge has performed well in mitigating loss in value when
interest rates have declined and has been structured in such a manner so that we can recapture some
of the increase in value of servicing rights as rates rise, without losing an equal amount on our
derivatives. Over the past six months, however, basis risk in our servicing asset and derivative
position has caused our hedging position to be less effective than it has been historically as
recent declines in mortgage rates has not been matched with equal declines in swap rates.
Finally, while basis risk exhibits stability over longer periods of time, over shorter periods
there can be separation in the relative spreads of interest rates and indices used to value
mortgage servicing rights and the financial derivatives we use to hedge the change in value in
mortgage servicing rights. At times this basis risk benefits us and at other times it does not. It
is generally not possible to eliminate this basis risk. 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 such as quarters.
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 $48 million in forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2004. In 2004, we
recognized losses on these contracts of $3.2 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 gain on the intercompany loans was $2.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004.
Note 17 Guarantees
Upon the occurrence of certain events under financial guarantees, we have performance
obligations provided in certain contractual arrangements. These various agreements are summarized
below.
We sell loans and commercial loan participation interests to: (i) private investors; (ii)
agency investors including, but not limited to, Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA),
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), and Government National Mortgage Association
(GNMA); and (iii) other financial institutions. Each loan sale is subject to certain terms and
conditions, which generally require us to indemnify and hold the investor harmless against any loss
arising from errors and omissions in the origination,
88
processing and/or underwriting of the loans. We are subject to this risk for loans that we
originate as well as loans we acquire from brokers and correspondents. At December 31, 2004 and
2003, we had approximately $15.3 million and $21.6 million, respectively, recorded as an estimate
for losses that may occur as a result of the guarantees described above based on trends in
repurchase and indemnification requests, actual loss experience, known and inherent risks in the
loans, and current economic conditions. The length of the indemnification period, which varies by
investor and the nature of the potential defect may extend to the life of the loan. Sold loans for
which these guarantees apply totaled approximately $11.7 billion in 2004 and $22.9 billion in 2003.
We also sell home equity loans to private investors. We have agreed to repurchase loans that
do not perform at agreed-upon levels. The repurchase period generally ranges from 60-120 days after
the settlement date. In addition, a repurchase obligation may be triggered if a loan does not meet
specified representations related to credit information, loan documentation and collateral. At
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, we had approximately $1.7 million and $0.8 million
recorded as an estimate for losses that may occur as a result of the guarantees described above
based on trends in repurchase and indemnification requests, actual loss experience, known and
inherent risks in the loans, and current economic conditions. Total home equity loans sold for
which these guarantees apply were $1.0 billion in 2004 and $0.7 billion in 2003.
In the normal course of our servicing duties, we are often required to advance payments to
investors, taxing authorities and insurance companies that are due and have not been received from
borrowers as of specified cut-off dates. These servicing advances totaled $46.1 million at December
31, 2004 and $49.3 million at December 31, 2003 and are reflected as accounts receivable in the
consolidated balance sheets. Servicing advances, including contractual interest, are considered a
priority cash flow in the event of foreclosure or liquidation, thus making their collection more
likely. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, we had $2.9 million and $2.1 million recorded as an estimate
for possible losses on these advances in other liabilities.
We also service loans on behalf of private and agency investors and occasionally sell the
servicing rights on these loans to third-party servicers. The typical servicing contract requires
us to indemnify and hold the investor harmless against any loss arising from our failure to abide
by the servicing guidelines adopted by the investor or from our breach of any representation or
warranty made in connection with the sale. Some of the more common servicing sale representations
and warranties include: (i) each loan is in full compliance with investor requirements; insurer
requirements; and federal, state, and local laws and regulations; (ii) seller and all prior
servicers have serviced and maintained the loans in accordance with investor requirements; and
(iii) each custodial file and all documents related thereto is true, correct and complete in all
material respects. The loss estimate recorded for these guarantees at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
was $1.3 million and $0.9 million.
We provide guarantees to third parties on behalf of one of our subsidiaries related to
operating lease payments with maturity dates extending through 2007. The maximum potential future
payments guaranteed by us under these arrangements is $14.8 million and $21.4 million at December
31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
We provide an operating performance guarantee to a third party on behalf of one of our
subsidiaries related to borrowings to fund Canadian leases. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, our
subsidiary had borrowings totaling $95.3 million and $78 million for which our guarantee applied.
Irwin Union Bank and Trust provides a credit guarantee to a third party on behalf of one of our
subsidiaries related to borrowings to fund Canadian leases. At December 31, 2004, our subsidiary
had borrowings totaling $48.8 million for which this guarantee applied.
We provided merchant processing services for certain of our commercial customers. These
services entail accepting merchant deposits of credit card transactions. Under credit card
chargeback rules we are contingently liable for any billing disputes between the card company and
its customer. As these disputes arise, the card company charged us and credited its customer. We
would then pass the chargeback on to the depositing merchant. If for any reason the merchant was
unwilling or unable to reimburse us for its payment to the credit card company, we bore the loss.
During 2004 and 2003, respectively, we accepted approximately $15.8 million and $60.2 million in
merchant deposits and received an estimated $0.01 million and $0.1 million in chargebacks. We
incurred no losses on these chargebacks. This portfolio was closed August 2004 and we no longer
provide these services.
Note 18 Regulatory Matters
Irwin Financial Corporation and its bank subsidiaries, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company and
Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
the federal and state banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines, Irwin Financial, Irwin
Union Bank and Trust, and Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B. must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.
89
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require minimum
amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in
the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier I capital to average assets (as
defined). We believe, as of December 31, 2004, that we have met all capital adequacy requirements
to which we are subject. In addition, our Board of Directors has established minimum total capital
standards for Irwin Financial and Irwin Union Bank and Trust of 11% and 12%, respectively.
For an explanation of capital requirements and categories applicable to financial
institutions, see the discussion in this Report under the subsection Other Safety and Soundness
Regulations in Part I, Item 1, Business, Supervision and Regulation.

Note 19 Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below for our financial
instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets
for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values.
Interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions, Deposit liabilities, Short-term
borrowings, and Long-term and collateralized debt: The fair values were estimated by discounting
cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for like assets and like liabilities with
similar terms.
Loans and leases and loans held for sale: The fair values were estimated by discounting cash
flows, using interest rates currently being offered for like assets with similar terms, to
borrowers with similar credit quality, and for the same remaining maturities.
Residual interests: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for
residual interests approximate those assets fair values. Fair value for residual interests is
calculated using the methodologies specified in Note 1.
Servicing assets: Fair value for servicing assets is calculated using the methodologies
specified in Note 1.
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities were based on quoted market
prices when available. For securities which had no quoted market prices, fair values were estimated
by discounting future cash flows using current rates on similar securities. For FHLB and FRB stock,
fair value is determined to be equal to cost as there is no readily determinable market value
available for these securities.
Derivative instruments: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for
derivative instruments approximate those assets fair values. The estimated fair values of
derivative instruments are determined using methodologies discussed in Note 16.
91
Off-balance sheet loan commitments and standby letters of credit had an immaterial estimated
fair value at December 31, 2004 and 2003. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, our loan commitments
had a notional amount of $719.7 million and $546.5 million, respectively. Our standby letters of
credit had a notional amount of $24.6 million and $30.8 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
The estimated fair values of our financial instruments at December 31, were as follows:

The fair value estimates consider relevant market information when available. Because no
market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are
determined based on present value of estimated cash flows and consider various factors, including
current economic conditions and risk characteristics of certain financial instruments. Changes in
factors, or the weight assumed for the various factors, could significantly affect the estimated
values.
The fair value estimates are presented for existing on- and off-balance sheet financial
instruments without attempting to estimate the value of our long-term relationships with depositors
and the benefit that results from the low cost funding provided by deposit liabilities. In
addition, significant assets that were not considered financial instruments and were therefore not
a part of the fair value estimates include accounts receivable and premises and equipment.
Note 20 Shareholders Equity
We have a stock plan that provides up to 300,000 shares of our common stock to be used to
compensate Business Development Board members. During 2004 and 2003, 8,078 shares and 11,289 shares
were issued at a weighted average price of $27.19 and $20.27, respectively, as part of this plan.
We also have a stock plan to compensate our Directors with our common stock, if so elected, in
lieu of cash for their annual retainer and meeting fees. The number of shares issued under the plan
is based on the current market value of our common stock. In 2004 and 2003, respectively, we
granted 8,784 and 23,776 shares under this plan at a weighted average fair value of $28.86 and
$17.14. In addition, we have an employee stock purchase plan for all qualified employees. The plan
provides for employees to purchase common stock through payroll deduction at approximately 85% of
the current market value.
We have two stock option plans (established in 1997 and 1992) that provide for the issuance of
2,840,000 shares of non-qualified and incentive stock options. In addition, the 2001 stock plan
provides for the issuance of 4,000,000 of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, and phantom stock units. An additional 2,000,000 of stock
appreciation rights may be granted under this plan. For all plans, the exercise price of each
option, which has a ten-year life and a vesting period of four years beginning the year granted, is
equal to the market price of our stock on the grant date. Vested outstanding stock options have
been considered as common stock equivalents in the computation of diluted earnings per share. In
2004 and 2003, we awarded 12,901 shares and 8,796 shares of common stock in restricted stock grants
at a weighted average fair value of $26.35 and $25.51 through this plan, respectively.

Note 23 Employee Retirement Plans
We have contributory retirement and savings plans that cover all eligible employees and meets
requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees contributions to the plan
are matched 60% by us up to 5% of the employees compensation.
The matching vests 20% after one year, 40% after two years, 60% after three years, 80% after
four years, and 100% after 5 years. The expense to match employee contributions for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $3.6 million, $2.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
94
We have a defined benefit plan currently covering eligible employees of our commercial banking
segment and the parent company. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees
compensation during their employment. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits
attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. We use
December 31 as the measurement date for our plan.
The following table sets forth amounts recognized in our balance sheet:

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption, we considered the
historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the
target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This resulted in the selection of the 8.00%
long-term rate of return on assets assumption listed above.
Plan Assets
Our pension plan asset allocation at December 31, 2004, and 2003, and target allocation for
2005, by asset category are as follows:

Each mutual fund in which the portfolio invests will be reviewed on a quarterly basis and
rebalanced back to the normal weighting if the actual weighting varies by 2% or more from the
targeted weighting. The allocation of assets in the portfolio may deviate from target allocation
when market conditions warrant. Such deviations are designed primarily to reduce overall investment
risk in the long term. In addition, allocations may deviate from target shortly after cash
contributions are made to the plan, but prior to the rebalancing of these portfolios.
The portfolio will be managed in a style-neutral manner that seeks to minimize principal
fluctuations over the established time horizon and that is consistent with the portfolios stated
objectives. Over the long-term, the investment objectives for this portfolio shall be to achieve an
average total annual rate of return that consists of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus 6% for the
aggregate investments. Returns may vary significantly from this target year to year.
Cash Flows
Included in the cash equivalents are contributions we made of $2.1 million and $0.9 million to
the plan on December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These cash contributions were invested in
early January of the subsequent year based on our target allocations. Since these cash
contributions had not yet been reinvested at December 31, 2004, the percentage of plan assets by
category above is skewed. We currently do not expect to make a contribution to the pension plan in
2005.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporation carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Corporations disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(f) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. In connection with the restatement described in Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements, management determined that a material weakness in the
Corporations internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2004, as more
fully described below in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Based
on that evaluation and due to the existence of the material weakness described below, management
has concluded that the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
December 31, 2004.
99
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)). Internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporations internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set
forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework.
A material
weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more
than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected. As of December 31, 2004, the Corporation did not maintain
effective controls over the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles
related to incentive servicing fees received from whole loan sales to third parties. Specifically, the
Corporation accounted for these incentive servicing fees as derivative financial instruments instead
of mortgage service rights as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the 2004
consolidated financial statements and the consolidated financial
statements for the
quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2005. Additionally,
this control deficiency, if not corrected or remediated, could result in a misstatement to the derivative balance
sheet and income statement accounts that would result in a material misstatement to annual or
interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management
determined that this identified control deficiency constitutes a
material weakness.
In our 2004 Annual Report
on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission on March 9, 2005, management previously concluded that the
Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004. In connection with the
restatement described above, management has determined that the
material weakness described above existed as of December 31,
2004. Because of this material weakness, management has concluded that
the Corporation did not maintain effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the COSO. Accordingly, management has
restated this report on internal control over financial reporting.
Managements assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2004 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered
public accounting firm that also audited our financial statements, as
stated to in their report which
is provided in Item 8 of this Report on Form 10-K/A.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Corporations internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the
quarter ended December 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, Corporations internal control over financial reporting.
However,
in November and December of 2005 the Corporation took corrective actions to remediate the material
weakness identified above. The Corporation designed, documented and
tested additional controls over
the selection and application of generally accepted accounting principles to incentive service fees
received from whole loan sales to third parties.
