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 commercial banking, commercial finance and home equity lending. We have exited the mortgage banking segment, maintaining a limited staff to manage our residual liabilities and responsibilities from past activities. Our direct and indirect subsidiaries include Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., Irwin Commercial Finance Corporation, Irwin Home Equity Corporation and Irwin Mortgage Corporation. 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.
     For the mortgage banking line of business that we have exited, the financial statement and notes within this report conform to the presentation required in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” for “discontinued operations.”
     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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. 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 dates; income and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the reporting period. Unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.
     Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the consolidated balance sheets, we consider cash and due from banks to be cash equivalents.
     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 premiums and accretion of discounts (adjusted cost). All other investment securities 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. Fair values are determined based upon dealer quotes and discounted cash flow modeling. A decline in value lasting an extended period of time or of significant magnitude is evaluated for impairment that may be deemed “other-than-temporary”.
     Residual Interests: Residual interests are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. To obtain fair value of residual interests, quoted market prices would be used if available. However, quotes are generally not available for residual interests, so we 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. Fair value is determined based on the contract price at which the mortgage loans will be sold. At the time of origination, loans which management believes will be sold prior to maturity are classified as loans held for sale.
     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 or earlier should credit analysis prior to 90 days suggest collection of such amounts is unlikely to occur . 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 and the loan is in the process of collection.
     Direct Financing Leases: At lease inception, we record an asset representing the aggregate future minimum lease payments and deferred incremental direct costs less unearned income. Income is recognized over the life of the lease, which generally averages three to four years, in order 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 management’s 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 loan’s 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 impaired 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.
     It is our policy to promptly charge off any loan, or portion thereof, which is deemed to be uncollectible. This includes, but is not limited to, any loan rated “Loss” by the regulatory authorities. Impaired commercial credits are considered on a case-by-case basis. The amount charged off includes any accrued interest. Consumer loans are charged off when deemed uncollectible, but generally no later than when a loan is past due 180 days.
     Servicing Assets: When we securitize or sell loans, we may retain the right to service the underlying loans sold. For cases in which we retain servicing rights, a portion of the cost basis of loans sold is allocated to a servicing asset based on its fair value. Prior to the January 1, 2007, all servicing rights were carried at lower of cost or fair market value.
     For servicing assets associated with second mortgages and high loan-to-value first mortgages, the fair value measurement method of reporting these servicing rights was elected beginning January 1, 2007, in accordance with SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets.” Under the fair value method, we measure servicing assets at fair value at each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. All remaining servicing rights follow the amortization method for subsequent measurement whereby these servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.
     We use a combination of observed pricing on similar, market-traded servicing rights and internal valuation models that calculate the present value of future cash flows to determine the fair value of the servicing assets. These models are supplemented and calibrated to market prices using inputs from independent servicing brokers, industry surveys and valuation experts. In using this valuation method, we incorporate assumptions that we believe market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, which include, among other items, 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.
     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. Generally the structure-specific metrics involve both a delinquency and a loss test. The delinquency test is satisfied if, as of the last business day of the preceding month, delinquencies on the current pool of mortgage loans are less than or equal to a given percentage. The loss test is satisfied if, on the last business day of

8


Table of Contents

the preceding month, the percentage of cumulative losses on the original pool of mortgage loans is less than or equal to the applicable percentage as outlined in the specific deal documents. We receive ISF payments monthly, once the pre-established return has been paid to the certificate holder, if the delinquency and loss percentages are within guidelines. If we are terminated or replaced for cause as servicer under the securitization, the cash flow stream under the ISF contract terminates.
     We account for ISFs similar to management contracts under Emerging Issues Task Force Topic No. D-96, “Accounting for Management Fees Based on a Formula.” Accordingly, we recognize revenue on a cash basis as the 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.” Fair values for derivatives are determined based upon dealer quotes.
     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.
     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, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method, which establishes a deferred tax asset or liability based on temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.
     Recent Accounting Developments: On January 1, 2008 we adopted SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires, among other things, our valuation techniques used to measure fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, SFAS 157 requires the recognition of trade-date gains related to certain derivative trades that use unobservable inputs in determining the fair value. This guidance supersedes the guidance in EITF Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities,” which prohibited the recognition of day-one gains on certain derivative trades when determining the fair value of instruments not traded in an active market. There was no cumulative effect to retained earnings as a result of adopting this statement.
     On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This statement permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments at fair value. We have chosen not to elect fair value option upon adoption of this statement and, therefore, the adoption had no impact to our consolidated financial statements.
     In March 2008 the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We will begin making the required disclosures in 2009.

     At March 31, 2008, we held four mortgage-backed securities that were downgraded by two of the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSRO) in April 2008. These securities were issued by entities other than government-sponsored enterprises and backed by first mortgage liens. These securities have a par value of $26.2 million and, subsequent to the downgrade, a fair value of $13.0 million. This decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Accordingly, we recognized a $13.2 million other-than-temporary impairment during the quarter.

Note 5 — Servicing Assets
     We adopted the fair value treatment for servicing assets associated with our second mortgage and high loan-to-value first mortgage portfolios as of January 1, 2007. The effect of measuring the selected servicing assets at fair value was reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, increasing retained earnings $1.7 million, net of tax. Changes in fair value subsequent to adoption were recorded through “amortization and impairment of servicing assets.” All other servicing assets, primarily related to first mortgage loans, continue to be accounted for using the amortization method with impairment recognized. These mortgage servicing assets are recorded at 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 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 adversely affect our results of operations. For servicing rights accounted for under the amortization method, we also review these mortgage servicing assets 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.

     Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings (FHLB) are collateralized by $1.4 billion of loans and loans held for sale at March 31, 2008.
     In addition to borrowings from the FHLB, we use other lines of credit as needed. We have lines of credit available of $0.3 billion to fund loan originations and operations. Interest on the lines of credit ranges from 2.5% to 2.8% at March 31, 2008.
Note 7 — Collateralized Debt
     We pledge loans in transactions structured as secured financings at our home equity lending and commercial finance lines of business. Sale treatment is precluded on these transactions because we fail the true-sale requirements of SFAS 140 as we maintain effective control over the loans and leases securitized. This type of structure results in cash being received, debt being recorded, and the loans being retained on the balance sheet. The notes associated with these transactions are collateralized by $1.3 billion in home equity loans, home equity lines of credit, and leases. The principal and interest on these debt securities are paid using the cash flows from the underlying loans and leases. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on these debt securities is dependent on the payments received on the underlying collateral. The interest rates on the bonds are both fixed and floating.

Note 9 — Fair Value
     Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires, among other things, our valuation techniques used to measure fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In addition, SFAS 157 requires the recognition of trade-date gains related to certain derivative trades that use unobservable inputs in determining the fair value. This guidance supersedes the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-3, “Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities” (EITF Issue 02-3), which prohibited the recognition of day-one gains on certain derivative trades when determining the fair value of instruments not traded in an active market.
     SFAS 157 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. In accordance with SFAS 157, these two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
    Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
    Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
 
    Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

     This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The following table presents the hierarchy level for each of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2008.

     We classify financial instruments in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when there is reliance on at least one significant unobservable input to the valuation model. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for Level 3 financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable either directly or indirectly. Thus, the gains and losses presented below include changes in the fair value related to both observable and unobservable inputs.
     The following table presents the changes in the Level 3 fair value category for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Note 11 — Industry Segment Information
     We have three principal business segments that provide a broad range of banking products and services, including commercial banking, commercial finance, and consumer mortgage products and services.
     Our other segment primarily includes the parent company, unsold portions of businesses in which we no longer engage, and eliminations.
     The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in Note 1 — “Accounting Policies, Management Judgments and Accounting Estimates.”
     As described in Note 1, we exited the conforming, conventional mortgage banking line of business. For 2007, this segment is shown in the table below as “Discontinued Operations.” Due to its diminishing significance, in 2008 this former segment will be reported in “Parent and Other.”

Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies
Culpepper v. Inland Mortgage Corporation
     On February 29, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit denied the plaintiffs’ petition for rehearing and petition for rehearing en banc. The denial let stand the 11th Circuit’s July 2, 2007 affirmance of the district court’s decision in favor of our indirect subsidiary Irwin Mortgage Corporation (formerly Inland Mortgage Corporation). This lawsuit was filed in April 1996 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, seeking class action status and alleging Irwin Mortgage’s payment of broker fees to mortgage brokers violated the federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. In its July 2, 2007 decision affirming summary judgment in favor of Irwin Mortgage, the court of appeals held that plaintiffs had failed to show that the total compensation Irwin Mortgage paid to the mortgage brokers was unreasonable in light of the services provided. The court of appeals also held that the district court had not abused its discretion in decertifying the plaintiffs’ class because individual issues predominated, making class certification inappropriate. The plaintiffs have until May 29, 2008 to file a petition for a writ of certiorari seeking discretionary review by the United States Supreme Court. This action will conclude if a petition for certiorari is not filed, or is denied. 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).

18


Table of Contents

     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. On September 9, 2005, the Kossler plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Class Action Complaint. On October 21, 2005, Irwin filed a renewed motion seeking to dismiss the Kossler action.
     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 Community’s 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 September 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. On September 17, 2004, Irwin made a demand for indemnification and a defense to Hobson, Chatfield and Ransom. Community denied this request as premature.
     In response to a motion by Irwin, the Judicial Panel On Multidistrict Litigation consolidated Hobson, Chatfield and Ransom with Kossler in the Western District of Pennsylvania for all pretrial proceedings. The Pennsylvania District Court had been handling another case seeking class action status, Kessler v. RFC, et al., also involving Community and with facts similar to those alleged in the Irwin consolidated cases. The Kessler case had been settled, but the settlement was appealed and set aside on procedural grounds. Subsequently, the parties in Kessler filed a motion for approval of a modified settlement, which would provide additional relief to the settlement class. Irwin is not a party to the Kessler action, but the resolution of issues in Kessler may have an impact on the Irwin cases. The Pennsylvania District Court has effectively stayed action on the Irwin cases until issues in the Kessler case are resolved. On January 25, 2008, the Pennsylvania District Court approved and certified for settlement purposes the modified Kessler settlement, finding the proposed modified Kessler settlement to be fair and reasonable, and directed the parties to supply a proposed notice plan. We have established an immaterial reserve for the Community litigation based upon SFAS 5 guidance and the advice of legal counsel.
Litigation in Connection with Loans Purchased from Freedom Mortgage Corporation.
     On January 22, 2008, our direct subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, and our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Home Equity Corporation, filed suit against Freedom Mortgage Corporation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Irwin Union Bank, et al. v. Freedom Mortgage Corp., (the “California Action”) for breach of contract and negligence arising out of Freedom’s refusal to repurchase certain mortgage loans that Irwin Union Bank and Irwin Home Equity had purchased from Freedom. The Irwin subsidiaries are seeking damages in excess of $8,000,000.00 from Freedom.
     In response, Freedom moved to compel arbitration of the claims asserted in the California Action and on March 12, 2008 filed suit against us and our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Freedom Mortgage Corporation v. Irwin Financial Corporation et al., (the “Delaware Action”). Freedom alleges that the Irwin repurchase demands in the California Action represent various breaches of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 7, 2006. The Asset Purchase Agreement was entered into by Irwin Financial Corporation, Irwin Mortgage Corporation and Freedom Mortgage Corporation in connection with the sale to Freedom of the majority of Irwin Mortgage’s loan origination assets. Freedom seeks damages in excess of $8,000,000, and to compel Irwin to order its subsidiaries in the California Action to dismiss their claims. The California Action has been stayed pending completion of arbitration. On April 23, 2008, Irwin filed a motion to dismiss the Delaware Action. We have not established any reserves for this litigation.

Table of Contents

     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.

Strategy
     Our strategy is to position the Corporation as an interrelated group of specialized financial services companies serving niche markets of small businesses and consumers while optimizing the productivity of our capital. We seek to create competitive advantage within the banking industry by serving small businesses and consumers with lending, leasing, deposit, advisory services and specialized mortgage products. Our strategic objective is to create value through well-controlled, profitable growth by attracting, retaining and developing exceptional management teams at our lines of business and parent company who focus on (i) meeting customer needs rather than simply offering banking products or services, (ii) being cost-efficient in our delivery, and (iii) having strong risk management systems. We believe we must continually balance these three factors in order to deliver long-term value to all of our stakeholders.
     We have developed several tactics to meet these goals:
     1. Identify market niches. Based on our assessment of long-term market, customer and competitive trends and opportunities, we focus on product or market niches in banking for small businesses and consumers where our understanding of customer needs and ability to meet them creates added value that permits us not to have to compete primarily on price. We do not believe it is necessary to be the largest or leading market share company in any of our product lines to earn an adequate risk-adjusted return, but we do believe it is important that we are viewed as a preferred provider of those product offerings in our niche segments. At present we provide small businesses and consumers with lending, leasing, deposit, advisory services and specialized mortgage products.
     2. Attract, develop and retain exceptional management with niche expertise. We participate in lines of business only when we have attracted senior managers who have proven track records in the niche for which they are responsible. Our structure allows managers to focus their efforts on understanding their customers, meeting the needs of the markets they serve cost effectively, and identifying and controlling the risks inherent in their activities. This structure also promotes accountability among managers of each segment. We attempt to create a mix of short-term and long-term rewards that provide these managers with the incentive to achieve well-controlled, profitable growth over the long term.
     3. Diversify capital and earnings risk. We diversify our revenues, credit risk, and application of capital across complementary lines of business and across different regions as a key part of our risk management. For example, the customers of our commercial bank have different growth and risk profiles in the Midwest and West. These markets perform differently due to differences in local economies, affecting both demand and credit quality of our products. In recent periods, due to significant changes in the national housing and mortgage credit markets we have taken steps to reduce our exposure to mortgage lending for loans that are ineligible for sale through government or government-sponsored agency programs. Our home equity lending segment lends to consumers on a national basis, but now through government or government-sponsored agency lending programs. In our other segments, we attempt to build a diversified portfolio where demand and credit quality fluctuate depending, in part, on local market conditions. Our customers’ credit needs 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.
     4. Focus on organic growth. We primarily focus on growth through organic expansion of existing lines of business as we believe this approach often provides a better risk/return profile. Over the past ten years, we have made only a few acquisitions. Those have typically not been in competitive bidding situations.
     5. Identify opportunities for coordination and efficiencies across the Bank. We have recently increased our attention to the identification of areas in which we can better coordinate and consolidate non-customer facing operations within our segments. Our objective is to improve risk management and operating efficiency without diminishing our ability to provide a high level of service to our customers. Our efforts to date have focused on the centralization of certain risk management functions, as well as improvements in information technologies, procurement, and transactional accounting through shared services.
     6. Create and maintain risk management systems appropriate to our size, scale and scope. These systems are an integral part of a well-managed banking organization and are as important to our future success as hiring good people and offering products and services in attractive niches. We are engaged in a multiyear process of enhancing our management depth and systems for assuring

that we operate our businesses within the risk appetite established by our board of directors. The system we are creating provides centralized guidance and support from staff with demonstrated risk management expertise, who provide an independent perspective assessing and assisting the risk management processes and systems that are an integral part of each of our managers’ responsibilities.
     We believe strategy needs to evolve in response to changes in environmental conditions. Our strategy is not producing acceptable results in the current environment of severe stress in housing and related markets. We continue to evaluate our choices within this strategic framework that would position us to produce better results in the current and expected future environments. We also continue to believe long-term growth and profitability will result from serving attractive niches within commercial and consumer banking, with experienced management teams, diverse products and geographic markets, and a focus on risk management systems.
Critical Accounting Policies
     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. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 2007 provides 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.

Outlook
     In spite of the ongoing unsettled conditions in the real estate markets, we progressed toward our goal of returning results from our three operating units to profitability. Unfortunately, the global liquidity crisis and credit deterioration caused us to have to take a non-cash mark-to-market impairment in the first quarter in our securities portfolio that were downgraded but are still paying as expected.
     Through asset sales and a solution to our exposure to home equity credit losses, management and the Board are re-focusing the Corporation on our core banking services to small business customers.

     Towards this end, we suspended originations in our home equity segment of loans for our own portfolio, including second mortgages. The home equity segment is now focused on government-insured and conforming, conventional first mortgage loans that can be sold into the secondary markets. We believe these actions will accelerate the reduction of exposure to risk in this segment. In addition, the Board of Irwin Financial has engaged Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Milestone Advisors, LLC to explore alternatives to achieve our strategic refocusing objectives and resolve our home equity loan exposure. These steps could include but are not limited to sales of loans, a spin off of assets, or a recapitalization. Based on what we know today, once we have achieved these objectives and taken their associated charges, we expect to be profitable on a consolidated basis. Our aim is to complete this process in the third quarter and sooner if possible.
     In the first quarter, we also remained focused on maintaining and enhancing our liquidity and capital positions, having taken several actions while actively exploring additional steps. During the first quarter, we suspended dividends and reduced our assets to maintain our risk-weighted capital ratios. In spite of the first quarter losses, our risk weighted capital ratios ended the quarter at 12.5 percent at Irwin Financial and 12.4 percent at Irwin Union Bank and Trust, each above our internal targets. It is important to note that due to securitization structures, if we were to assume that we moved all of the home equity loans off our balance sheet, we believe both Irwin Union Bank and Trust and Irwin Financial would have a risk-weighted capital ratio above the statutory ten percent standard for a “well capitalized” bank.1 Total deposits remained unchanged in the first quarter. We will continue to pursue assets sales as necessary in order to maintain healthy capital ratios and liquidity while we continue progress on our return to profitability.
 
1   This pro forma statement assumes a hypothetical situation in which the entire home equity portfolio is either moved off the balance sheet without compensation or is written down to a zero value. This analysis ignores potential non-loan restructuring charges and potential proceeds from a sale of loans or loan assets, although we understand there is value in these portfolios. For the loans funded with financing securitizations, it assumes the associated debt is removed from the balance sheet as well. Finally, it assumes the Corporation would be able to deduct any losses for income tax purposes, which management believes would be the case.
Consolidated Income Statement Analysis
Net Loss From Continuing Operations
     We recorded a net loss of $22.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a decline of $16.1 million from net loss from continuing operations of $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Net loss per share (diluted) was $0.77 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to net loss per share of $0.22 for the first quarter of 2007. Annualized return on equity from continuing operations was (20.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and (4.7)% for the same period in 2007 from continued operations. The decrease in 2008 earnings relates primarily to the significant deterioration of the mortgage markets. This disruption led to large losses in the home equity lending line of business as a result of increased provision for loan losses. We provided $45 million for loan losses during the first quarter of 2008 compared to $23 million in the same period a year earlier. This provision is based on significant revisions in our expectations of probable losses that have not yet been incurred. We believe these reserves adequately reflect our risk of loss in the current and expected environment. Our need for higher or lower reserves will change as the likelihood of customer defaults changes. First quarter results were also materially affected by a non-cash $13 million other-than-temporary impairment of four mortgage-backed securities that were downgraded in April 2008 by the rating agencies.
Net Interest Income From Continuing Operations
     Net interest income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $64 million, down 3% from the first quarter 2007 net interest income of $66 million. Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 4.44% down compared to 4.66% for the same period in 2007.

Noninterest Income From Continuing Operations
     Noninterest income during the first quarter of 2008 totaled $(4.5) million, compared to $(0.8) million for the first three months of 2007. The 2008 decrease is a result of two factors. First, a $13 million other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charge was recorded by the parent line of business during the first quarter of 2008. This OTTI charge relates to four mortgage-backed securities that were downgraded in April 2008 by two of the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs). Second, the 2007 results reflect an $8 million valuation adjustment on loans held for sale at the home equity lending line of business. Details related to these fluctuations are discussed later in the “commercial finance” and “home equity lending” sections of this document.
Noninterest Expense From Continuing Operations
     Noninterest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $52 million, unchanged from $52 million for the same period in 2007.
Income Tax Provision From Continuing Operations
     Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $14 million, compared to a benefit of $4 million during the same period in 2007. Our effective tax rate was 39% during the first quarter of 2008, compared to 40% during the same period in 2007.
Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis
     Total assets at March 31, 2008 were $6.1 billion, down 2% from December 31, 2007. Average assets for the first quarter of 2008 were also $6.1 billion, down 1% from the average assets for the year 2007.

     At March 31, 2008, we held four private-label mortgage-backed securities that were downgraded by two of the NRSROs. These securities have a par value of $26 million and fair value of $13 million. This decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Accordingly, $13 million was recorded during the quarter to other-than-temporary impairment expense to recognize this impairment.
Loans Held For Sale
     Loans held for sale totaled $3 million at March 31, 2008, a decrease from a balance of $6 million at December 31, 2007.

     Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings averaged $499 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, with an average rate of 4.64% and the balance at March 31, 2008 was $604 million at an interest rate of 4.64%. The maximum outstanding during any month end during 2008 was $604 million. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings averaged $478 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, with an average rate of 5.10%. The balance at December 31, 2007, which was also the maximum outstanding during any month end during 2007, was $574 million at an interest rate of 4.97%.
     Federal Funds borrowings averaged $138 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, with an average rate of 3.37%. The balance at March 31, 2008 was $70 million at an interest rate of 2.76%. The maximum outstanding during any month end during 2008 was $221 million. Federal Funds borrowings averaged $204 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, with an average rate of 4.56%. The balance at March 31, 2007 was $82 million at an interest rate of 4.33%. The maximum outstanding during any month end during 2007 was $235 million.
Collateralized and Other Long-Term Debt
     Collateralized borrowings totaled $1.2 billion at March 31, 2008, unchanged from December 31, 2007. The bulk of these borrowings have resulted from securitizations of portfolio loans at the home equity lending line of business that result in loans remaining as assets and debt being accounted for under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) on our balance sheet (although to meet the structuring needs of the securitization trusts, the loans have been legally separated and sold to the trusts). This securitization debt provides us with match-term funding for these loans and leases with the debt being extinguished through pay-downs of the loans.
     Other long-term debt totaled $234 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. We have obligations represented by subordinated debentures totaling $204 million with our wholly-owned trusts that were created for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The subordinated debentures were the sole assets of the trusts at March 31, 2008. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (revised December 2004), we deconsolidate the wholly-owned trusts that issued the trust preferred securities. The subordinated debentures held by the trusts are disclosed on the balance sheet as “other long-term debt.”
Capital
     Shareholders’ equity averaged $451 million during the first quarter of 2008, compared to an average of $506 million for the year 2007. Shareholders’ equity balance of $436 million at March 31, 2008 represented $14.41 per common share, compared to $15.22 per common share at December 31, 2007.

Net Income
     Commercial banking net income totaled $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2008, compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2007. The biggest contributors to this decline were higher loan loss provisions and lower net interest income during the first quarter of 2008 discussed in more detail below.
Net Interest Income
     The following table shows information about net interest income for our commercial banking line of business:
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,
    2008   2007
    (Dollars in thousands)
Net interest income

Average interest earning assets
    2,973,285       3,005,995  
Net interest margin
    3.76 %     3.99 %
     Net interest income was $28 million for the first quarter of 2008, down $2 million compared to the first quarter of 2007. The 2008 decline in net interest income resulted primarily from lower interest rates and from loans repricing downward at a faster pace than deposits. Net interest margin is computed by dividing net interest income by average interest earning assets. Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was 3.76%, compared to 3.99% for the same period in 2007. The decline in 2008 margin reflects competitive conditions and unfavorable repricing of loans and deposits.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
     Provision for loan and lease losses increased to $6.6 million during the first quarter of 2008, compared to a provision of $4.6 million during the same period in 2007. The increased provision relates to weakening credit quality, particularly commercial real estate credits in connection with the residential housing markets, both in the Midwest and Western markets. See further discussion in the “Credit Quality” section later in the document.
Noninterest Income
     The following table shows the components of noninterest income for our commercial banking line of business:

     Noninterest income during the first quarter of 2008 increased 18% over 2007. This increase was due primarily to higher service charges on deposit account of $0.2 million and higher gains on sales of loans of $0.1 million. In addition, included in “other” during the first quarter of 2007 is a $0.2 million loss on sale of other real estate owned (OREO).
Operating Expenses

Earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 averaged $3.0 billion, unchanged from the year 2007. Average core deposits for the first quarter of 2008 totaled $2.2 billion, a decrease of 7% over average core deposits in the fourth quarter 2007.

Credit Quality
     Our credit quality declined in the first quarter of 2008, reflecting increased weakness in the regional economies in which we participate. As a result the allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 1.36% at March 31, 2008, compared to 1.19% at December 31, 2007. Total nonperforming loans increased $20.4 million during the first quarter of 2008 versus year end 2007 and totaled $47.4 million or 1.62 percent of loans in this segment. Other real estate owned increased $0.2 million compared to the year-end 2007 balance. Nonperforming loans are not significantly concentrated in any industry category, although a greater than average amount of our nonperforming loans are located in our Sacramento, Phoenix and Michigan markets. Many of the nonperforming loans relate to commercial real estate credits impacted by the deteriorating residential housing markets, both in the Midwest and Western markets. Charge-offs totaled $2.0 million, down from $4.8 million a year earlier. The first quarter 2007 charge-offs relate primarily to a $4.1 million single credit charge off in one Michigan market. The following table shows information about our nonperforming assets in this line of business and our allowance for loan losses.

Net Income
     During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the commercial finance line of business had net income of $4.4 million, compared to income of $2.6 million in the same period in the prior year. The 2008 increase in earnings is attributable primarily to loans sales and higher net interest income due to period-over-period portfolio growth.

     Net interest income was $14 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of 16% over 2007. The improvement in net interest income resulted primarily from growth in our commercial finance portfolio. The total loan and lease portfolio has grown to $1.3 billion at March 31, 2008, an increase of 18% over March 31, 2007. This line of business originated $143 million in loans and leases during the first quarter of 2008, compared to $129 million during the same period of 2007.
     Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2008 was 4.44% a decline compared to 4.64% in 2007 for the same period. The decrease in 2008 is due primarily to product mix.
Provision for Loan and Lease Losses
     The provision for loan and lease losses increased to $4.7 million during the first three months in 2008 compared to $3.5 million for the same period in 2007. The increased provisioning levels relate primarily to some credit deterioration in our small ticket leasing portfolio.

The 2008 gains include $5.1 million in gains on whole loan sales of $52.3 million. In addition, the 2008 gains include gains of $0.7 million related to $8.2 million of participations sold during the year from our franchise loan portfolio. We incurred derivative losses of $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2008 primarily related to an interest rate swap tied to a Canadian borrowing facility.

Overview
     Our home equity lending line of business originates, sells and services mortgage loans nationwide. We offer mortgage products through our banking subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust, an Indiana state-chartered commercial bank. We market our mortgages principally through mortgage brokers and correspondent lenders, and also directly to consumers..
     Historically (and reflected in our loan portfolio), we have offered debt consolidation second mortgage loans with high combined loan-to-value (CLTV) ratios to borrowers we believe have prime credit-quality. Generally, we have not offered loans for the purchase of homes. Prior to February of 2008, we offered home equity loans with CLTVs up to 125% of their collateral value. In February

Table of Contents

2008, we announced that we are halting production of all loans with a CLTV greater than 95% of collateral value. Historically, we sold our second mortgage loans through whole loan sales or funded these loans on balance sheet through secured, term financings.
     In the second half of 2007, the secured, term funding market closed down. As a result, we significantly narrowed our underwriting guidelines, reduced production staff, and limited our production to only those second mortgage loans we wished to retain on balance sheet or first mortgage loans we could sell to correspondents.
     In April, 2008, we determined that the housing and capital markets had changed dramatically enough that we have modified our product strategy in this segment. As such, we have decided to discontinue the issuance of second mortgage loans and will offer only government and government agency conforming first mortgage loans for sale. We believe this product strategy will allow us to increase loan origination volume, without a commensurate increase in risk. In addition, due to the nature of these loans, they are marketable to the secondary market and there continues to be funding liquidity available should we wish to retain them on balance sheet.

Production and Portfolio Characteristics
     For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 100%, but less than 125% (high LTVs, or HLTVs) constituted 23% of our loan originations and 56% of our managed portfolio for this line of business. HLTVs constituted 55% of our managed portfolio at December 31, 2007. Approximately 68%, or $1.0 billion, of our home equity managed portfolio at March 31, 2008 was originated with early repayment provisions.

Net Income
     Our home equity lending business recorded a net loss of $16.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to a net loss for the same period in 2007 of $10.1 million, but an improvement over the net loss of $27.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, reflecting a $16.7 million reduction in the provision for loan losses.

Net Revenue
     Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $(12.8) million, compared to net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $2.7 million. The decrease in revenues is primarily a result of higher loan loss provision.
     During the first quarter of 2008, our home equity lending business produced $29 million of mortgage loans, compared to $189 million during the same period in 2007. The decrease in volume principally reflects tightening lending guidelines and significantly reduced demand in the secondary market.

     Net interest income decreased 5% to $23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $25 million for the same period in 2007. The decrease in net interest income is a result of the declining size of the portfolio during the first quarter of 2008 relative to the same period in 2007.
     Provision for loan losses increased to $33 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to $15 million during the same period in 2007. The increase in provision reflects declining credit quality of home equity loans. During the first quarter, the actual and expected performance of portfolio loans continued to deteriorate, leading to the need to provide additional reserves for probable loan losses. We expect weakness in this portfolio could continue as long as challenging conditions in the mortgage market persist.
     We completed whole loan sales during the first quarter of 2008 of $22 million resulting in gains on sale of loans of $0.6 million compared to loan sales of $110 million resulting in $0.2 million in gains on sale of loans during the same period in 2007. Net charge-offs in our loans held for sale classification reduced the gain on sale during the first quarter of 2007. We charged off $7 million related to a pool of loans that were reclassified from loans held for sale to loans held for investment.
     Loan servicing fees totaled $2 million during the first quarter of 2008 compared to $6 million during the same period in 2007. The servicing portfolio on which we earn separately recorded servicing fees at our home equity lending line of business totaled $0.8 billion and $1.2 billion at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This is a subset of our entire servicing portfolio. The remainder of the

42


Table of Contents

servicing portfolio is associated with loans financed with securitizations, but accounted for under generally accepted accounting principles as portfolio loans. The decline in servicing fees in 2008 relates to the decline in the servicing portfolio.
     Included in loan servicing fees are incentive servicing fees (ISFs) (See Note 1, “Incentive Servicing Fees”). As part of certain whole loan sales, we have the right to an 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 March 31, 2008, we were receiving incentive fees for six transactions that met these performance metrics. During the first quarter of 2008, we collected $0.2 million in cash from these ISFs, compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2007.
     Amortization and impairment of servicing assets includes amortization expenses and valuation adjustments relating to the carrying value of servicing assets. We determine fair value using discounted cash flows and assumptions as to estimated future servicing income and costs 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 March 31, 2008, net servicing assets totaled $16 million compared to $20 million at December 31, 2007. Servicing asset amortization and impairment expense totaled $4 million during the first quarter of 2008, compared to $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the first quarter of 2007, the home equity lending line of business adopted the fair value method of accounting for mortgage servicing rights in accordance with SFAS 156. As a result, we are no longer amortizing servicing rights underlying high loan-to-value first mortgages and second mortgages. Rather, we are adjusting the fair value each quarter and recognizing a fair value adjustment through “impairment” on the income statement.
Operating Expenses
     The following table shows operating expenses for our home equity lending line of business for the periods indicated:

     Operating expenses were $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $20 million for the same period in 2007. Operating expenses declined in 2008 primarily due to restructuring and other cost cutting initiatives.
Home Equity Servicing and Credit Quality
     Our home equity lending business continues to service the majority of the home equity 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. The total servicing portfolio was $2.3 billion at March 31, 2008 compared to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2007. For whole loans sold with servicing retained totaling $0.5 billion at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively, we capitalized servicing fees including rights to future early repayment fees. During the first quarter of 2007, we adopted the fair value method under SFAS 156, that resulted in a $2.9 million increase in our servicing asset to adjust its value to fair market value. We recorded a one time (tax-affected) cumulative adjustment to retained earnings of $1.7 million to reflect the adoption of this new standard in 2007. The servicing asset at March 31, 2008 was $16 million, down from $20 million at December 31, 2007 reflecting amortization with no new mortgage servicing right additions.
     Our “managed portfolio,” representing that portion of the servicing portfolio on which we have retained credit risk, is separated into three categories at March 31, 2008: $1.1 billion of loans originated and held on balance sheet either as loans held for investment and permanently funded through $0.9 billion of collateralized debt (asset-backed securities), $0.3 billion of loans and loans held for sale funded through deposits and other funding sources, and $0.1 billion of loans and lines of credit securitized for which we retained

Table of Contents

a residual interest. In each case, we retain credit and interest rate risk, although in the case of the $1.1 billion and the $0.1 billion, our risk of loss is significantly less than the principal balance of the loans outstanding, as further described below.
     Included below in the category “Credit Risk Sold, Potential Incentive Servicing Fee Retained Portfolio” are $0.4 billion and $0.5 billion of loans at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 for which we have the opportunity to earn an incentive servicing fee. Although the credit performance of these loans we have sold is one factor that can affect the value of the incentive servicing fee, if these loans default we do not bear the credit risk in these pools.
     The credit quality of our portfolios declined substantially in the first quarter of 2008, reflecting declining economic conditions, increases in unemployment, and, apparently, significantly changed attitudes among consumers about the relative consequences of defaulting on their mortgage obligations. Net credit losses in the first quarter of 2008 were $25 million. We expect further increases throughout 2008 and have increased our loan loss provisions and reserves as appropriate.
     A disproportionate share of our realized and expected losses have arisen from a portfolio we originated prior to 2007 and held in “for sale” classification in early 2007. These loans were underwritten to third-party credit guidelines and as mortgage market conditions deteriorated in 2007, these third-party buyers left the market. Rather than selling into a depressed market, we reclassified these loans, approximately $167 million, into “held-for-investment” status in 2007, having marked them to then current market. Throughout 2007 and in the first quarter of 2008, the credit quality of these loans continued to deteriorate, leading to heightened charge-offs and higher provisions. Realized losses on these loans totaled $6 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $17 million during 2007. At March 31, 2008, our reserve for future losses on these transferred loans totaled $23 million or 20% of their unpaid principal balance.
     The following table sets forth certain information for these portfolios. The managed portfolio includes those loans we service with credit risk retained. Delinquency rates and losses on our managed portfolio result from a variety of factors, including loan seasoning, portfolio mix, and general economic conditions.
     Included in the table are approximately $1.1 billion of loans which are funded through collateralized borrowings, as further explained in Note 7. While the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) treatment of these loans is to present them as “unsold” as they fail “sale” treatment under SFAS 140 (i.e., we have not surrendered complete control of the assets), legally, these loans have been transferred to bankruptcy-remote trusts (“securitization trusts”). These trusts are the issuers of the asset-backed bonds which are shown on our balance sheet as collateralized notes. We retain an interest in excess cash flows and assets (if any) of the trust once the notes are paid off, which is called the overcollateralization. This distinction is important in ascertaining our retained risk in these loans. In short, while we bear some risk of loss on these securitized loans, our loss is limited to the degree of overcollateralization we accepted in selling the loans to the securitization trusts. We are not obligated to, nor do we expect that we would, support the bonds issued by these trusts by providing cash or other security interest to the trusts in the future should the underlying home equity loan performance be insufficient to support debt service to bondholders. It should be noted that such a potential debt service short-fall to the bondholders would not be considered an event of default by Irwin as we are not the obligors on these securitization bonds. As of March 31, 2008, the overcollateralization embedded in the home equity securitization trusts, or the amount we have at risk to future losses, totaled approximately $140 million. In addition, unlike the loan sales historically made in the discontinued operations segment and to a limited degree, in this segment, the representations and warranties we make in selling loans to securitization trusts do not include loan performance based items. This has historically limited, and we believe should continue to limit, our loan repurchase risk in this segment.

Parent and Other
     Results at the parent company and Other Bank and Non-Bank Entities totaled a net loss of $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to a loss of $1.7 million during the same period in 2007. In most prior periods, results at the parent and other consolidating entities have been driven by operating and interest expenses net of management fees and allocations charged to operating segments as well as net interest income earned on intracompany loans.
     The results for the first quarter of 2008 include a $13 million pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment on a portion of our securities portfolio. This impairment was on $26 million of private-label mortgage-backed securities that are not guaranteed by the federal government or a governmental agency. Although each of these securities were rated AA or better as of March 31, they were thinly traded during the first quarter and were downgraded in April by two of the NRSROs. As a result, we determined that they were other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2008. We marked the securities to fair value based on quotes obtained from independent bond trading firms.
     Included in parent company operating results are allocations to our subsidiaries of interest expense related to our interest-bearing capital obligations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we allocated $4.5 million of these expenses to our subsidiaries, compared to $4.2 million during the first quarter of 2007.

     Each subsidiary pays taxes to us at the statutory rate. Subsidiaries also pay fees to us to cover direct and indirect services. In addition, certain services are provided from one subsidiary to another. Intercompany income and expenses are calculated on an arm’s-length, external market basis and are eliminated in consolidation.
Risk Management
     We are engaged in businesses that involve the assumption of risks including:
    Credit risk
 
    Liquidity risk
 
    Market risk (including interest rate and foreign exchange risk)
 
    Operational risk
 
    Compliance risk
     The Board of Directors has primary responsibility for establishing the Corporation’s risk appetite and overseeing its risk management system. Primary responsibility for management of risks within the risk appetite set by the Board of Directors rests with the managers of our business units, who are responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control systems and procedures that are appropriate for their operations. To provide an independent assessment of line management’s risk mitigation procedures, we have established a centralized enterprise-wide risk management function. To maintain independence, this function is staffed with managers with substantial expertise and experience in various aspects of risk management who are not part of line management. They report to the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), who in turn reports to the Risk Management Committee of our Board of Directors. Our Internal Audit function independently audits both risk management activities in the lines of business and the work of the centralized enterprise-wide risk management function.
     Given the on-going growth in the scope of the Corporation, our efforts to date to improve our risk management systems, and heightened industry and regulatory focus around credit, market, liquidity, operational and compliance risks, the Board, having reviewed and evaluated results of reports from Internal Audit, Risk Management, and regulatory exams, embarked in 2006 on a comprehensive review of our risk management systems. These assessments were conducted at the Board’s direction by a third-party to ensure independence and access to best-in-class practices. As a result of these assessments, management has developed a program of risk management improvement steps that it has begun implementing on an enterprise-wide basis. The costs of these resources are reflected in current period earnings.
     Each line of business that assumes risk uses a formal process to manage this risk. In all cases, the objectives are to ensure that risk is contained within the risk appetite established by our Board of Directors and expressed through policy guidelines and limits. In addition, we attempt to take risks only when we are adequately compensated for the level of risk assumed.
     Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Administrative 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’ Risk Management Committee. Our Chief Risk Officer, who reports directly to the Risk Management Committee, chairs the ERMC. Prior to 2007, the ERMC reported to the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors. On January 1, 2007, the Board formed two committees, an Audit Committee and a separate Risk Management Committee in order to focus more independent oversight at the board level on the governance of the Corporation’s risk management system. To ensure coordination between the two committees, the Chair of each committee is a member of the other committee. In 2007, the ERMC began reporting to the newly-formed Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors.
     Each of our principal risks is managed directly 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 credit, market, operational and compliance 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 our earnings. However, the credit risk in our loan portfolios has the most potential for a significant effect on our consolidated financial performance. Each of our segments has a Chief Credit Officer with expertise specific to the product line and manages 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, in addition to portfolio level analysis of risk concentrations. 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 centralized function that reports directly to the head of Credit Risk Management who in turn reports to the Chief Risk Officer.
     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 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 loan’s carrying 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 collateral value of the loan implies a value that is lower than 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 management’s judgment. The loss ratio or migration patterns are generally based upon historic loss experience or historic delinquency of risk rating migration behaviors, respectively, for each loan type adjusted for certain environmental factors management believes to be relevant.
     Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2008 in our held for investment portfolio were $30.2 million, or 2.2% of average loans, compared to $23.7 million, or 1.7% of average loans during the last quarter of 2007. Below is a table that shows net charge-offs annualized to average loans by line of business:

Home Equity Lending
    7.15       5.05  
 
       
Total
    2.16 %     1.66 %
     
     The increase in charge-offs and allowance is due largely to further deterioration in the residential real estate markets, including the impact on construction and land development loans. At March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan and lease losses was 2.8% of outstanding loans and leases, compared to 2.5% at year-end 2007.
     Total nonperforming loans and leases at March 31, 2008, were $99 million compared to $76 million at December 31, 2007. Nonperforming loans and leases as a percent of total loans and leases at March 31, 2008 were 1.8%, an increase from 1.3% at December 31, 2007. Other real estate we owned and other repossessed assets totaled $17 million at March 31, 2008, unchanged from December 31, 2007. Total nonperforming assets at March 31, 2008 were $116 million, or 1.9% of total assets compared to nonperforming assets at December 31, 2007 of $93 million, or 1.5% of total assets.

     Generally, the accrual of income is discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt, or when the payment of principal or interest has become contractually 90 days past due unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. Loans are charged-off upon evidence of expected loss or 180 days past due, whichever comes first.

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, withdrawal of deposits, and maturity of other funding liabilities. Liquidity is provided through deposits and short-term and long-term borrowings, by asset maturities or sales, and through equity capital. Our corporate-level asset-liability management committee (ALMC) oversees the liquidity position of the Corporation.
     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. Since loan assets are less marketable than securities and, therefore, need less volatile liability funding, the ratio of total loans to total deposits is a traditional measure of liquidity for banks and bank holding companies. At March 31, 2008, the ratio of loans (which excludes loans held for sale) to total deposits was 164%. We permanently fund a significant portion of our loans with secured financings, which effectively eliminates liquidity risk on these assets until we elect to exercise a clean up call. The ratio of loans to total deposits after reducing loans for those funded with secured financings was 125%.
     Our deposits consist of two primary types: non-maturity transaction account deposits and certificates of deposit (CDs). Core deposits exclude jumbo CDs, brokered CDs, and public funds CDs. Core deposits totaled $2.3 billion at March 31, 2008, unchanged from December 31, 2007.
     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 March 31, 2008, these deposit types totaled $1.6 billion, unchanged from December 31, 2007. 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. As of March 31, 2008, CDs issued directly to customers totaled $0.5 billion, unchanged from December 31, 2007. 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 $0.7 billion at March 31, 2008, and had an average remaining life of 15 months, as compared to $0.6 billion outstanding with a 17 month average remaining life at December 31, 2007.
     Other 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 March 31, 2008, FHLBI borrowings outstanding totaled $0.6 billion, unchanged from December 31, 2007. We had sufficient collateral pledged to FHLBI at March 31, 2008 to borrow an additional $0.3 billion, if needed.
     At March 31, 2008, the amount of short-term borrowings outstanding on our major credit lines and the total amount of the borrowing lines were as follows:
    Lines of credit with correspondent banks, including fed funds lines: none outstanding out of $45 million available but not committed
 
    Lines of credit with non-correspondent banks: $70 million outstanding
 
    Small ticket Canadian leases financed via commercial paper conduits’ $254 million
 
    Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window: none outstanding on $363 million of loans pledged

Market Risk (including Interest Rate and Foreign Exchange 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.
     Our corporate-level asset-liability management committee (ALMC) oversees the interest rate risk profile of all of our lines of business. It is supported by ALMCs at each of our lines of business and monitors the repricing structure of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items. It 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. We incorporate many factors into the financial model, including prepayment speeds, prepayment fee income, deposit rate forecasts for non-maturity transaction accounts, caps and floors that exist on some variable rate instruments, embedded optionality and a comprehensive mark-to-market valuation process. We reevaluate risk measures and assumptions regularly, enhance modeling tools as needed, and, on an approximately annual schedule, have the model validated by internal audit or an out-sourced provider under internal audit’s direction.
     Our lines of business assume interest rate risk in the form of repricing structure mismatches between their loans and leases and funding sources. We manage this risk by adjusting the duration of their interest sensitive liabilities and through the use of hedging via financial derivatives.
     Our discontinued mortgage banking segment held a material amount of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) as part of its strategy and operations. With the sale of the mortgage segment, we do not expect ownership or the related hedging of remaining MSRs to be a material item. Our commercial banking and home equity lending lines of business all assume interest rate risk by holding MSRs ($19 million at March 31, 2008). Among other items, a key determinant to the value of MSRs is the prevailing level of interest rates. The primary exposure to interest rates is the risk that rates will decline, possibly increasing prepayment speeds on loans and decreasing the value of MSRs. MSRs have traditionally been recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value. We adopted SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” on our high loan-to-value first lien and home equity lending segment second lien mortgages during the first quarter of 2007. This adoption requires full mark-to-market on the designated servicing assets, eliminating the lower-of-cost or market treatment. Our decisions on the degree to which we manage servicing right interest risk with derivative instruments to insulate against short-term price volatility depend on a variety of factors.
     The following tables reflect our estimate of the present value of interest sensitive assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items at March 31, 2008. 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 March 31, 2008, 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.
    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.
 
    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

50


Table of Contents

      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 have not been included in the model.
 
    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 appropriate 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.
 
    Finally, the tables show theoretical outcomes for dramatic changes in interest rates which do not consider potential rebalancing or repositioning of hedges and balance sheet mix. Further, normal fluctuations in non-interest sensitive assets and liabilities can cause fluctuations in interest-sensitive assets and liabilities that can cause the market value of equity to fluctuate from period to period.

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 March 31, 2008 were $0.9 billion and at December 31, 2007 were $1.1 billion. We had $23 million and $22 million in irrevocable standby letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments
     Financial derivatives are used as part of the overall asset/liability risk management process. We use certain derivative instruments that qualify and certain derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133. The derivatives that do not qualify for hedge treatment are classified as other assets and other liabilities and marked to market on the income statement. While we do not seek hedge accounting treatment for the assets and liabilities that these instruments are hedging, the economic purpose of these instruments is to manage the risk inherent in existing exposures to either interest rate risk or foreign currency risk.
     We hold interest rate swaps to hedge floating rate deposits that have a notional amount at March 31, 2008 of $40 million that qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment and $35 million that no longer qualify for SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment. Under the terms of these swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest based on the Federal Funds rate. The total amount of loss on the swaps that qualify for SFAS133 treatment recorded to other comprehensive income at March 31, 2008 was $0.9 million. Ineffectiveness we recorded related to the SFAS 133 cash flow hedges in 2008 was immaterial. The total amount of the net loss for the hedges not qualifying for SFAS133 at March 31, 2008 was $1.2 million.

     We have an interest rate swap in which we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate. The purpose of this swap is to manage interest rate risk exposure created by Capital Trust XI which has variable rate interest payments. This hedge had a notional amount of $15 million at March 31, 2008. The amount of loss on this swap during the period ended March 31, 2008 reclassed to earnings was $0.6 million as a result of losing SFAS133 hedge accounting treatment when we suspended our trust preferred dividend payments. A gain of $0.1 million was recorded in interest expense related to this cash flow hedge during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 when it qualified for SFAS133 hedge accounting treatment.
     In our home equity business, we have a $10 million amortizing interest rate swap in which we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate. The purpose of the swap is to manage interest rate risk exposure created by the 2005-1 securitization in which floating rate notes are funding fixed rate home equity loans. This swap is accounted for as a “cash flow” hedge in accordance with SFAS 133, with the changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedge reported as a component of equity. The net amount of loss on these swaps recorded to other comprehensive income during the period ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 was $166 thousand and $76 thousand, respectively. A net loss of $1 thousand and a net gain of $58 thousand was recorded in interest expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Ineffectiveness we recorded related to this cash flow hedge in 2008 and 2007 was immaterial.
     Also in our home equity business, we utilize interest rate caps to mitigate the interest rate exposure created by the 2006-1, 2006-2, 2006-3 and 2007-1 securitizations in which floating rate notes are funding fixed rate home equity loans. We have $106 million in amortizing interest rate caps relating to these hedging activities. These contracts are marked-to-market with gains and losses included in “derivative gains (losses)” on the consolidated income statements. We do not receive SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment for these transactions. The loss on these activities for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, totaled $1 thousand and $0.3 million, respectively.
     We enter into commitments to originate home equity 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 the periods ended March 31, 2008, and 2007, a loss of $10 thousand and a gain of $0.1 million was recorded in “Gain from sale of loans.” At March 31, 2008 we had rate lock commitments outstanding totaling $3 million.
     We deliver Canadian dollar fixed rate leases into a commercial paper conduit. To lessen the repricing mismatch between fixed rate Canadian (CAD)-denominated leases and floating rate CAD-denominated commercial paper, a series of amortizing CAD interest rate swaps have been executed. As of March 31, 2008, the commercial paper conduit was providing $166 million of variable rate funding. In total, our interest rate swaps were effectively converting $162 million of this funding to a fixed interest rate. The losses on these swaps for the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $2 million and $15 thousand, respectively.
     During 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap in which we pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate. The purpose of this swap is to manage interest rate risk exposure created by a second Canadian commercial paper conduit we began utilizing in 2008 in which variable rate debt is used to fund fixed rate leases. This swap had a notional amount of $94 million at March 31, 2008. A loss of $1.0 million was recorded on this swap during the three month period ended March 31, 2008.
     We own foreign currency forward contracts to protect the U.S. dollar value of intercompany loans made to Irwin Commercial Finance Canada Corporation that are denominated in Canadian dollars. We had a contractual amount of $94 million in forward contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2008. For the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized a gain of $2.0 million and a loss of $0.9 million, respectively, on these contracts. These contracts are marked-to-market with gains and losses included in “derivative gains (losses)” on the consolidated income statements. We do not receive SFAS 133 hedge accounting treatment for this transaction. For the periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 we recognized a foreign currency transaction loss on the intercompany loans of $2.2 million and a gain of $1.1 million, in each period respectively.
Operational and Compliance 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 or modeling errors, internal or external fraud, failure of computer systems, unauthorized access to information, and external events that are beyond the control of the Corporation, such as natural disasters.

Table of Contents

     Compliance risk is the risk of loss resulting from failure to comply with laws and regulations. While Irwin Financial is exposed to a variety of compliance risks, the two most significant arise from our consumer lending activities and our status as a public company.
     Our Board of Directors has ultimate accountability for the level of operational and compliance risk we assume. 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 of the need to alert senior management and the Board of potential control issues on a timely basis.
     The Board has directed that primary responsibility for the management of operational and compliance 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. Our enterprise-wide risk management function provides an independent assessment of line management’s operational risk mitigation procedures. This function, which includes enterprise-wide oversight of compliance, reports to the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), who in turn reports to the Risk Management Committee of our Board of Directors. We have developed risk and control summaries for our key business processes. Line of business and corporate-level managers use these summaries 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 management committees of our subsidiaries, use the risk summaries 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
     The quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are reported in the “Market risk (including interest rate and foreign exchange risk)” section of Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations found on pages 50 through 52.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
     Disclosure Controls and Procedures — As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Corporation carried out an evaluation as required by Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and the CFO have concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2008.
     Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — In connection with the evaluation performed by management with the participation of the CEO and the CFO as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d), there were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. Other Information.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
     Since the time we filed our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, we experienced developments as noted in the litigation described below:
Litigation in Connection with Loans Purchased from Freedom Mortgage Corporation.
     On January 22, 2008, our direct subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, and our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Home Equity Corporation, filed suit against Freedom Mortgage Corporation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Irwin Union Bank, et al. v. Freedom Mortgage Corp., (the “California Action”) for breach of contract and negligence arising out of Freedom’s refusal to repurchase certain mortgage loans that Irwin Union Bank and Irwin Home Equity had purchased from Freedom. The Irwin subsidiaries are seeking damages in excess of $8,000,000.00 from Freedom.
     In response, Freedom moved to compel arbitration of the claims asserted in the California Action and on March 12, 2008 filed suit against us and our indirect subsidiary, Irwin Mortgage Corporation, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Freedom Mortgage Corporation v. Irwin Financial Corporation et al., (the “Delaware Action”). Freedom alleges that the Irwin repurchase demands in the California Action represent various breaches of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of August 7, 2006. The Asset Purchase Agreement was entered into by Irwin Financial Corporation, Irwin Mortgage Corporation and Freedom Mortgage Corporation in connection with the sale to Freedom of the majority of Irwin Mortgage’s loan origination assets. Freedom seeks damages in excess of $8,000,000, and to compel Irwin to order its subsidiaries in the California Action to dismiss their claims. The California Action has been stayed pending completion of arbitration. On April 23, 2008, Irwin filed a motion to dismiss the Delaware Action. We have not established any reserves for this 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 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
     (c) (Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities). From time to time, we repurchase shares in connection with our equity-based compensation plans. We did not have any repurchase activity in the past three months.
