NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) | ||||||||
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation: The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Corporation pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission but do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included with the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. | ||||||||
Reclassifications: Certain amounts in the 1998 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation | ||||||||
Derivatives: On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133). The Corporation will adopt FAS 133 on January 1, 2001. FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the market value of derivatives would be recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Corporation does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operation. | ||||||||
Derivative instruments on the Corporation's balance sheet are currently classified as trading assets and carried at market value. Changes in market value are recorded as trading gains or losses on the income statement. | ||||||||
Trading Assets: Trading assets are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. Gains and losses are based on the adjusted cost of the specific asset. | ||||||||
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES | ||||||||
The carrying amounts of investment securities, including a net unrealized loss of $22 thousand and a net unrealized gain of $142 thousand on available-for-sale securities at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, are summarized as follows: | ||||||||

Securities that might be sold prior to maturity are classified as "available-for-sale" and are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of the future tax impact, are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. | ||||||||

Mortgage banking activities are conducted by Irwin Mortgage Corporation which originates, sells, and services residential mortgage loans throughout the United States.
Net income for the third quarter was $6.5 million, down 9.3% from the same period in 1998. Year to date, net income was $18.0 million compared to $20.4 million in 1998.
As a result of a rising interest rate environment, mortgage loan originations of $1.4 billion were 34.5% below the third quarter of 1998. For the year, originations totaled $4.8 billion, down 22.6% from 1998. Refinances accounted for 15.9% of loan production in the third quarter of 1999 and 31.6% year to date. This compares to 41.4% and 45.1%, respectively, in 1998. Lower production volume caused mortgage loan origination income to decrease 21.3% in
the third quarter to $11.6 million. Year to date it was down 10.2% to $37.3 million.
As a result of lower loan production in the third quarter of 1999, gains on the sale of loans decreased 33.1% to $10.4 million. Year to date, gains on the sale of loans totaled $36.5 million, down 6.4% from 1998.
Mortgage servicing fees decreased 0.7% in the third quarter but were up 7.9% year to date to $12.9 million and $41.2 million, respectively. The servicing portfolio totaled $10.5 billion at September 30, 1999, down 6.0% from a year earlier and down 6.9% from December 31, 1998.
Mortgage servicing assets totaled $127.9 million at September 30, 1999, up 13.0% from December 31, 1998. The amortization and impairment of servicing assets declined 71.8% in the third quarter of 1999 to $5.7 million. Year to date amortization and impairment totaled $10.4 million, down 70.1% from 1998. The decline is the result of the rising interest rate environment during the third quarter of 1999 that slowed prepayments in underlying loans and reduced impairment levels of mortgage servicing assets.
The year to date improvement in mortgage servicing asset amortization and impairment was partially offset by corresponding losses on hedging activities. The mortgage bank used options on treasury futures to offset the interest rate risk associated with its mortgage servicing assets. However, by September 30, 1999, options on the mortgage bank's balance sheet had expired. During the third quarter the mortgage bank recorded a $35.9 thousand market loss on options held during the quarter. Year to date, the market loss totaled $10.8 million. This compares with a market gain recorded on the hedge position of $11.6 million in the third quarter and $12.7 million year to date in 1998. The mortgage bank does not attempt to satisfy the criteria for "hedge accounting." As a result, options are accounted for as trading assets, and changes in fair value are adjusted through earnings as trading gains or losses.
Revenues from the sale of mortgage servicing were up 0.9% from the third quarter of 1998 to $9.7 million. Year to date servicing sale revenues totaled $32.0 million, up 8.1% from 1998.
As a result of the decrease in mortgage loan closings from 1998, net interest income was down in the third quarter and year to date. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $6.1 million, down 14.4% from the third quarter 1998. Year to date, net interest income totaled $17.3 million, down 7.0% from 1998.
The provision for loan losses was down 111.9% in the third quarter of 1999 from $0.5 million in the third quarter of 1998. Year to date, the provision was $2.1 million, up from $0.9 million a year earlier. The third quarter 1999 figure reflects a change in accounting classification to more accurately account for nonperforming assets held at the mortgage bank. Prior to the third quarter of 1999, all nonperforming loans held at the mortgage bank were included in the nonperforming assets category. The majority of these assets are held for resale, rather than as a part of the loan portfolio, and as such, are more appropriately classified as part of the portfolio of loans held for sale and carried at the lower of cost or market value. There is no economic difference in this accounting change as marking the loans to market when valued at less than face value has the same effect as establishing a loan loss allowance, but it more accurately reflects management's intent with rspect to the ultimate disposition of the assets.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased 13.3% to $21.8 million for the third quarter of 1999. The reduction was due to a decline in commissions as a result of lower loan production in the third quarter of 1999. Year to date, they totaled $69.1 million, down 1.7% from a year earlier. Other operating expenses decreased 6.1% in the third quarter but were up 8.5% for the year to date.

Commercial banking activities are conducted by Irwin Union Bank (the Bank) which is headquartered in Columbus, Indiana. In recent years, the Bank has implemented a growth plan that calls for expansion into new markets outside of its home county in Indiana using de novo offices staffed by senior commercial loan officers who have experience with other commercial banks. As a result, the commerical bank currently operates in nine counties in Indiana as well as Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri. Net income was up in the third quarter to $1.9 million from $1.7 million a year earlier. Year to date, net income was $5.4 million, up from $4.8 million in 1998.
Net interest income improved 25.8% to $8.0 million in the third quarter of 1999. Year to date, it was up 23.2% to $22.7 million. The increase reflects the commercial bank's continued growth in new markets. The provision for loan losses decreased 26.3% to $401.7 thousand in the third quarter compared with a provision of $545.0 thousand a year earlier. Year to date, it decreased 12.0% to $1.4 million.
Following is an analysis of net interest income and net interest margin computed on a tax equivalent basis:

Other income in the third quarter was up 1.0% to $2.8 million from $2.7 million in 1998. For the year to date, other income increased 6.6`% to $8.9 million. Total operating expenses, including salaries and benefits, increased 25.3% from the third quarter of 1998 to $7.3 million. For the year, these expenses were up 22.3% to $21.5 million. The continued expansion of operations in new markets led to increased non-interest expense in 1999.

The home equity lending business markets home equity and first mortgage loans through direct mail, telemarketing and the Internet in 29 states. The home equity lending business recorded pre-tax income of $2.6 million during the third quarter of 1999 and $8.9 million year to date. These results are compared to 1998 quarterly and year to date pre-tax losses of $1.9 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
Net interest revenue was $0.7 million higher in the third quarter of 1999 than 1998, and $1.4 million higher year to date. The increase was due to increased loans outstanding during 1999.
During the third quarter of 1999, the home equity lending business originated $97.5 million of loans, compared with $119.0 million in 1998. Year to date, loan originations totaled $291.8 million, up from $273.8 million a year earlier. The third quarter decline reflects the fact that fewer first mortgage loans were originated in 1999 than in 1998 when declining interest rates led to a higher volume of that product.
Gains from the securitization of loans totaled $6.0 million in the third quarter of 1999 and $16.5 million year to date, down 9.2% and 4.9%, respectively, from the third quarter and year to date 1998.
The home equity lending business services the loans it has securitized and collects an annual fee of up to 1% of the outstanding principal balance of the securitized loans. Net servicing fee income totaled $0.9 million in the third quarter of 1999, up 59.7% from the same period in 1998. Year to date, servicing fees totaled $2.4 million, up 35.4% from 1998. The increase is due to growth in the servicing portfolio combined with a decline in the prepayments of underlying loans and resulting impairment of servicing assets caused by the rising interest rate environment.
Interest-only strips are carried at their market values determined using assumptions about the duration and performance of the securitized loans. At September 30, 1999, the assumed annual loss rates ranged from 0.25% to 2.00%, prepayment speeds ranged from 8% to 46% CPR (constant prepayment rate) per year, and the discount rate was 15.0%. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with certain interest-only strips, the home equity lending business uses an interest rate cap which is also carried at its market value, which was $1.0 million at September 30, 1999.
Included in income during the third quarter of 1999 was an unrealized trading loss of $0.7 million recorded to adjust the carrying value of interest-only strips and the interest rate cap to their market values. This loss compares with a $5.5 million loss recorded in the third quarter of 1998. Year to date, trading losses totaled $0.3 million, compared with a $12.7 million trading loss in 1998. The improvement in 1999 is due to the rising interest rate environment combined with efforts made to shift a substantial portion of the home equity loan portfolio into product with less prepayment sensitivity.
Operating expenses were $8.2 million in the third quarter of 1999, up 6.5% from 1998. Year to date, they increased 9.6% to $24.8 million.
Venture Capital
The Corporation's recently formed venture capital line of business earned net income of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 1999 and $0.7 million year to date. The income resulted principally from the unrealized gain in its sole portfolio investment which is carried on its balance sheet at market value. The Corporation intends to use the venture capital line of business to make minority investments in early-stage financial services businesses. Its primary focus will be businesses which plan to use the Internet, or other forms of technology, as a key component of their competitive strategy.
Other (includes parent, leasing, and consolidating entries)
Third quarter 1999 results at the Corporation's other businesses totaled a net loss of $3.0 million, compared with net income of $3.1 million a year earlier. Year to date 1999 results totaled a net loss of $7.8 million compared with net income of $2.3 million in 1998. The components of these other results are as follows:

Parent company operating losses are higher in 1999 as a result of increased net interest expense for funding to support the growth of subsidiaries. Additionally, the parent company enters into interest rate swap agreements with its subsidiaries, the results of which have been less favorable to the parent in 1999 than in 1998. The parent company records the income tax expense or benefit generated at the home equity business until such time that all net operating losses carried forward are fully used.
Irwin Business Finance is a new leasing subsidiary of the Corporation which began organizing in mid-1999. It has incurred net expenses to date of $0.2 million. The company expects to begin lease originations in early 2000.
Consolidated Income Statement Analysis
Net interest income for the third quarter of 1999 totaled $18.5 million, down 4.4% from the third quarter of 1998. For the year, it decreased 4.4% to $54.3 million. The decrease was due to a decline at the mortgage bank resulting from the rising interest rate environment, partially offset by increased loans outstanding at the community bank and home equity business.
The loan and lease loss provision was $0.4 million for the third quarter of 1999, as compared with $1.9 million for the same period in 1998. For the year, it totaled $3.9 million, down from $4.6 million a year earlier. The 1999 decline resulted from a change in classification of certain nonperforming mortgage loans to the "loans held for sale" category as previously discussed in the mortgage banking section of this report. See the section on credit risk for additional information on the loan loss provision.
Noninterest income was down 12.9% to $47.8 million in the third quarter of 1999. Year to date noninterest income increased 5.1% to $155.9 million. The third quarter decline was caused primarily by lower revenues at the Corporation's mortgage banking line of business as a result of the rising interest rate environment which slowed loan production activity. Additionally, third quarter 1998 noninterest income included a $5.2 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the assets of the Corporation's medical equipment leasing business.
Other expenses decreased 7.5% in the third quarter of 1999 to $50.3 million. For the year, other expenses experienced a moderate increase of $3.7 million or 2.3%. Reduced loan production activities at the mortgage bank resulted in the third quarter decline.
The effective income tax rate for the Corporation was 39.7% the third quarter of 1999 and 40.5% year to date. This is compared with 39.8% in the third quarter of 1998 and 40.1% year to date 1998.
Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis
Total assets of the Corporation at September 30, 1999, were $1.7 billion, down from December 31, 1998, total assets of $1.9 billion. The decrease was due to a decline in loans held for sale which totaled $0.5 billion at September 30, 1999, down from $0.9 billion at December 31, 1998. The decrease in assets was accompanied by a decrease in deposits of $0.1 billion and a decrease in short-term borrowings of $0.2 billion. A portion of noninterest bearing deposits is associated with escrow accounts held on loans in the servicing portfolio of Irwin Mortgage. These escrow accounts totaled $217.3 million at September 30, 1999, down from $399.6 million at December 31, 1998.
Shareholders' equity grew to $158.8 million or $7.42 per share, an increase over the $145.2 million or $6.70 per share at the end of 1998. The Corporation's equity to assets ratio ended the quarter at 9.55% compared to 7.51% at the end of 1998.
Prior to the adoption of new mortgage banking accounting standards in the third quarter of 1995, generally accepted accounting principles precluded recognition of the full value of mortgage servicing assets to be reflected on the balance sheet. Since a significant portion of the Corporation's mortgage servicing portfolio was generated prior to the adoption of the new accounting standards, it represents substantial economic value which is not recorded on the balance sheet. Management estimated this value to be approximately $50 million or $2.34 per share at September 30, 1999. The estimate was based on the market value of servicing assets related to loans with similar interest rates and servicing fees. With the implementation of the new accounting standard in 1995, this off-balance sheet value will decline over future years and eventually be reduced to zero as the underlying loans pay off, servicing fees are collected, and the income from servicing the loans is fully accreted.
Credit Risk
The assumption of credit risk is a key source of earnings for the commercial banking and home equity lending businesses. In addition, the mortgage banking business assumes some credit risk despite the fact that the mortgages are typically insured.
An allowance for loan losses is established as an estimate of the probable credit losses on the loans held by the Corporation. It is based on management's judgement combined with a quantitative process of evaluation and analysis. A specific allowance is determined by evaluating those loans which are either substandard or have the potential to become substandard. In general, commercial loans and mortgage loans are evaluated individually to determine the appropriate allowance. Consumer loans are evaluated as a group. A specific allowance is set at a level which management considers sufficient to cover probable losses on these specific loans. A general allowance is
determined by analyzing historical loss experience by loan type and then adjusting these loss factors for current conditions not reflected in prior experience.
Loans that are determined by management to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. The allowance is increased by provisions against income and recoveries of loans previously charged off.
As of September 30, 1999, the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases was 1.32% compared to 1.78% at December 31, 1998. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the provision for loan and lease losses totaled $0.4 million, a decline of 80.7% from the amount recorded in the third quarter of 1998. Year to date, the provision totaled $3.9 million, down 14.6% from a year earlier. The decrease occurred primarily at the mortgage bank in connection with the change in classification of nonperforming loans to the "loans held for sale" category to more accurately reflect management's intent with respect to the ultimate disposition of these assets. As previously discussed in the mortgage banking section, these loans are carried at the lower of their cost or market value. Any impairment provision is recorded through the markdown of the loans to their market value.
Nonperforming assets (loans 90 days past due, nonaccrual, and owned real estate) were $8.9 million or 0.53% of total assets at September 30, 1999, down from $15.4 million or 0.79% at December 31, 1998 and $9.5 million or 0.64% at December 31, 1997. The decline resulted from the reclassification of $3.2 million of nonperforming mortgage loans to the "loans held for sale"category during the third quarter of 1999.

Liquidity
Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet the daily requirements of the business. For financial institutions, demand for funds comes principally from extensions of credit and withdrawal of deposits. Liquidity is provided by asset maturities, sales of investment securities, or short-term borrowings. Seasonal fluctuations in deposit levels and loan demand require differing levels of liquidity at various times during the year. Liquidity measures are formally reviewed by management monthly, and they continue to show adequate liquidity in all areas of the organization.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest rate risk refers to the potential for changes in market rates of interest to cause changes in net interest income and in the market value of assets and liabilities.
Senior managers of each operating company who serve on their respective Asset-Liability Management Committees monitor the repricing structure of both assets and liabilities. Exposure to changes in interest rates is evaluated by modeling the repricing characteristics and options embedded in the balance sheets of each operating company. The methodology employed for measuring the sensitivity of market value at the operating companies and consolidated levels is reflected in the change in net market value of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, assuming a parallel yield curve shift of up and down 2%.
Rate sensitivity at the commercial bank can typically be managed by controlling the repricing characteristics of loans, securities, and deposits. The commercial bank may also use financial futures or interest rate swaps from time to time. Formal policies approved by the commercial bank's Board of Directors ensure that exposure to changes in net interest revenues is maintained within acceptable levels.
The mortgage banking business assumes interest rate risk by entering into commitments to extend loans to borrowers at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Loans are also held temporarily until a pool is
formed. The mortgage bank buys commitments to deliver loans at a fixed price to manage risk.
The home equity lending business funds the majority of loans with liabilities of terms that closely match the anticipated holding period of their assets. The mortgage bank and the home equity business are also exposed to interest rate risk through their ownership of servicing assets and other retained interests resulting from securitization. The companies manage their risk using a variety of techniques including: maintaining a strong production operation which offsets the interest rate risk, selective sales of servicing rights, and the use of financial hedges. In some cases, the Corporation uses internal hedges to allow for risk characteristics of one line of business to offset those of another line.
Through the use of simulations using regression modeling, option-adjusted valuation techniques for estimating expected customer behavior, and Monte-Carlo based cash flow simulation, the Corporation attempts to analyze and mitigate consolidated interest rate risk. For example, if interest rates decline, management expects an increase in mortgage loan origination income and a decline in the value of mortgage servicing assets. Management attempts to monitor this exposure to traditional interest rate risk in a comprehensive manner, assessing the impact on production, servicing, and balance sheet values individually and cumulatively.
The following table shows management's estimate of the present value of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, as well as off-balance sheet financial contracts as of September 30, 1999, at then current interest rates as well as simulated rates 1.0% and 2.0% above and below those interest rates. It does not take into account the book values of the Corporation's non-interest sensitive assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, and fixed assets, the value of which is not directly determined by interest rates. Nor does it address the market value of certain off- balance sheet interests not recognized under GAAP (e.g., mortgage servicing rights acquired prior to the adoption of FAS 122 in 1995), or attempt to make any estimate of the value changes resulting from increases or decreases in loan production fees as interest rates change.
As noted above, the analysis is based on discounted cash flows over the remaining estimated lives of the financial instruments. The total measurement of the Corporation's exposure to interest rate risk as presented in the following table may not be representative of the actual values which might result from a higher or lower rate environment. Such environments would likely result in different lending and borrowing strategies at the Corporation, designed in part to further mitigate the effect on the value of, and the net earnings generated from the Corporation's net assets, from any change in interest rates.
The figures suggest, based on balance sheet and off- balance sheet financial assets, that the present value of the Corporation's interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are most adversely affected in a falling rate environment. The Corporation's book value of servicing assets was capped below estimated market value as of September 30, 1999, due to the accounting principle which requires servicing assets to be carried at the lower of their cost or market value. The following table shows these assets uncapped (i.e. at estimated market value rather than book value.)
As previously noted, this present value sensitivity analysis does not account for potential earnings the Corporation would recognize due to strategic initiatives it would undertake if the interest rate scenarios
modeled occurred, nor does it reflect value from activities not traditionally measured in terms of financial assets or liabilities. Principal among these activities for the Corporation would be the change in mortgage loan production and the earnings stream the Corporation derives therefrom.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation hedges its interest rate risk on mortgage loans held for sale using mandatory commitments to sell the loans at a future date. As previously discussed in the mortgage banking section, the economic value of mortgage servicing assets is periodically hedged using options on treasury futures. At September 30, 1999, all such options had expired. Certain of the Corporation's interest-only strips are hedged using interest rate caps which had a fair value of $1.0 million at September 30, 1999, and a notional amount of $53.6 million. Options on treasury futures and interest rate caps are classified as trading securities on the balance sheet and carried at their market values. Adjustments to market values are recorded as trading gains or losses on the income statement. In the third quarter of 1999, the Corporation recorded a $0.1 million gain related to these derivative products. Year to date 1999, the Corporation recorded a $10.2 million loss. This compares to gains of $11.6 and $12.7 million, respectively, in the previous year.
Capital Adequacy
The Corporation is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). Equity and risk-based capital ratios for the Corporation are as follows:

Year 2000
Scope
The Year 2000 project has required a reallocation of business resources from other areas of the Corporation. However, to date, the consolidated cost of the project has not been material to the overall financial results of operations, liquidity, or capital, nor does the Corporation believe it will be material throughout the duration of the project. Additionally, the Corporation does not believe that the reallocation of resources necessary to address the Year 2000 issue has resulted in a material adverse change in the Corporation's ability to address other information technology projects critical to the Corporation's growth. The Corporation has incurred and expensed approximately $2.4 million pre-tax on the Year 2000 project since its inception. These costs have been funded through operating cash flows. The total cost of the project over the period 1997 to 2000 is anticipated to be in the range of $2.9 million pre-tax, excluding incentive stock-based compensation valued at approximately $0.3 million at the time of grant. The graph below illustrates the amounts expensed on the project to date (excluding the cost of options which are not expensed under GAAP) and on a pro forma basis through 1999 and contain forward-looking estimates.

Contingency Plans
Each of the Corporation's entity's has developed contingency plans. Each of those plans include procedures for addressing application or third-party vendor failure as well as the financial impact of any such failure.
Additional detail on the Year 2000 project at the Corporation's parent company and each of its principal subsidiaries is shown below.
Irwin Financial Corporation (parent company)
The operations of the parent company largely are intended to further the Corporation's strategic development, allocation of capital, planning for entering or exiting lines of business, certain support services for its operating companies, and external relations. There are few direct, ongoing revenue-producing interactions with end customers of the Corporation. Nonetheless, the services of the parent company are of sufficient size and importance to the overall condition of the Corporation that a separate project team is in place to assure Year 2000 readiness of its systems and operating environment.
Scope
Like the other units of the Corporation, the parent company has developed a technology strategy that primarily uses systems developed by third parties and has very few internally developed applications. Consequently, the parent company's principal focus is on assuring Year 2000 compliance from its commercial application vendors and other third-party service providers.
Progress
The progress of this team in meeting the seven-stage requirements of its project plan to achieve Year 2000 readiness by September 30, 1999, is shown below.

Contingency planning is complete except for the on-going review of the plans as the end of the year approaches. As of September 30, 1999, implementation was complete except for the final implementation of an upgrade of the company's general ledger system. This implementation was completed early in the fourth quarter.
Costs
The parent company has spent approximately $204 thousand pre-tax since inception of the Year 2000 project. The graph below indicates the amounts expensed on the project to date and on a pro forma basis through 1999.

Risks
The consequence of failure to achieve Year 2000 compliance at the parent company is likely to be increased labor expense as certain automated procedures are performed with additional human intervention. If such failures cause the parent company to miss deadlines for required filings, the company could face fines or penalties for late reporting of regulatory items. The company does not believe these risks pose a material monetary risk.
Contingency Plans
Contingency plans and testing procedures for all the parent company's mission critical processes are complete. As part of the process, plans have been made as to the exact manner in which the company would address likely worst case scenarios, including the financial and operational impact of such scenarios.
Irwin Mortgage Corporation
Irwin Mortgage Corporation (IMC) is principally engaged in the business of originating, selling, and servicing mortgage loans. Its net income is dependent on information technology and support systems which allow the efficient production and servicing of loans.
Scope
IMC has had teams addressing Year 2000 readiness since August of 1997 and it has adopted the same seven phase plan to achieve readiness used by the Corporation as discussed above. IMC participates with the Corporation's Steering Committee and has specific internal personnel whose time is dedicated solely to the Year 2000 project. In addition, IMC has partnered with the local office of a national IT consulting firm that has assisted with staff augmentation and technical expertise in the areas of code re
IMC is dependent on third parties in three principal areas.
1. IMC has developed a technology strategy that primarily uses systems developed by third parties and has very few internally developed applications.
2. IMC depends on several key business partners to successfully conduct operations (e.g., Government Sponsored Enterprises [GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC], private investors, title companies, mortgage brokers).
3. IMC needs a properly operating infrastructure (i.e. power, communications, transportation) in order to effectively conduct business.
As with the Corporation's overall project plan, IMC's plan includes computer hardware, software, and environmental systems. IMC owns none of the properties in which it conducts business, so the principal focus of the environmental systems review has been to work with the management companies of the facilities it leases. Additionally, the company has worked with various user groups to address the Year 2000 issue with public service providers on which it depends.
Progress
IMC substantially met its internal plan to achieve Year 2000 readiness by June 30, 1999. The first four phases of the plan (awareness, assessment, remediation and testing) have been completed. Testing has involved internal application validation in the IMC Y2K test laboratory as well as participation in the Mortgage Bankers Association Year 2000 Inter-Industry Test. IMC has participated in the mandatory test transactions set forth by FNMA, FHLMC, and GNMA. The testing process for critical application

Costs
IMC has spent approximately $1.8 million pre-tax since inception on the Year 2000 project. The graph below indicates the amounts expensed in the project to date and on a pro forma basis through 1999.

Risks
Failure to be Year 2000 compliant could cause the malfunctioning of the loan origination or servicing systems.
If there were a failure within the loan origination system that prevented IMC from closing mortgage loans, the company could be adversely affected through delayed or failed loan closings. This would reduce current revenues and/or would increase the cost to originate loans as more processes are performed with alternative, less efficient processes. The company has developed contingency plans which should allow a certain amount of production to continue, thus mitigating the loss of revenues.
Another risk to the company could involve a failure of one or more components in the loan servicing system. The loan servicing system is a high-volume, transactional system that makes logic decisions based on dates (both current and future). For example, if the payment posting module of the system fails, the company may be unable to remit payments and information to IMC's investors. The cost associated with this problem includes fines (for late reporting) that could range from a few hundred dollars to
Contingency Plans
The company has completed its contingency planning efforts but continues to review plans and provide updates as necessary. Its approach is to review the most important business processes that were identified in the assessment phase and work with the key personnel to develop alternative plans in case a Year 2000 issue is encountered.
Irwin Union Bank
Irwin Union Bank & Trust (the Bank) is engaged in providing consumer and commercial banking, trust, insurance and brokerage services throughout central and south central Indiana. The Year 2000 technology compliance issue poses a significant challenge to the organization as technology has been integrated with all major business processes. The methodology is based on the Corporation's seven-stage implementation plan. The Bank completed all Year 2000 technology testing in June, 1999.
Scope
The Bank's applications are primarily commercial off-the-shelf applications, including its core banking technologies, facility controls and desktop applications. In addition, the Bank utilizes third party providers for retail brokerage and trust/employee benefits account processing. Finally, the Bank has two internally developed technologies, those for certificate of deposit servicing and insurance originations that required remediation due to non-compliance.
Progress
The Bank involved over 25 staff members to participate in Year 2000 technology discussions, vendor appraisals and compliance testing. A multi-level testing strategy has been deployed within the Bank. Depending on the level of vendor and third party testing, the Bank has determined whether additional testing is warranted. For those applications that were certified by either a third party or vendor, the Bank has requested and reviewed the test results and scripts. An exception to this policy of reviewi

Costs
The focus on commercial off-the-shelf applications has allowed the Bank to avoid major programming costs that are required with proprietary systems. However, the impact of testing existing systems has added significant time requirements to the Bank's IT department. In 1998, the Bank added a fifth IT professional to allow the department to support its 350 users while conducting Year 2000 activities. In addition, the Bank has incurred expense in the replacement and repair of specific non-compliant syste

Contingency Planning
The Bank's contingency planning approach identifies core processes, and corresponding critical activities, to develop alternative approaches to accomplishing the desired outputs. The bank has formed teams comprising of the departmental managers and members of the IT department to evaluate the impact of technology non-compliance for each critical process. Each team is then responsible for preparing a contingency plan that provides alternative operating procedures in the case of technology non-compliance
Irwin Home Equity
The primary products of Irwin Home Equity (IHE) are second mortgage and line of credit loans secured by real estate. Since IHE relies on third party processors and off-the-shelf software, its efforts are mainly directed to the testing of these applications. Principal remediation efforts, therefore, have been the responsibility of its vendors.
Scope
The Company's Year 2000 project plan was developed within the guidelines set forth by the Corporation to achieve Year 2000 readiness by June 30, 1999.
When compiling the plan, all functions of the organization were considered, including computer software, hardware, data communications, environmental facilities, third party vendors, and other companies with whom data is exchanged. IHE's team to manage the Year 2000 effort consists of individuals representing Senior Management, Information Systems, Networks, Loan Origination, Loan Servicing, Accounting, and Finance. In addition, Telecommunications, Building, and Office Services are involved in various
Progress
The company identified its mission critical applications and tested those modules first. Applications are considered mission critical if they have an impact on customers or could have a negative impact on the continued operation of the company. Testing has been completed for all mission critical applications. Regression testing will continue throughout 1999 and 2000.
The company has completed the installation of the remediated versions of software for all of its mission critical applications. Conversion to a new Loan Servicing System was completed in late March. Since this application is housed at the vendor's service bureau, the company relied on proxy test results to validate Year 2000 readiness. Results of a third party audit of the vendor were also reviewed as additional supporting documentation. The vendor for the Loan Servicing system is an industry leading

Costs
Year 2000 costs have largely been limited to internal staff time since all software and hardware upgrades were planned as part of the company's normal business plan. Costs directly associated with the Year 2000 remediation have thus far totaled $184 thousand. Those costs and anticipated future costs for the project are displayed below.

As a result of IHE's dependence on third party providers and despite the company's testing, there is no assurance that all vendors will have achieved Year 2000 compliance. However, the company believes its contingency plans should provide sufficient backup to normal operations. For instance, should the loan origination system be unavailable due to software problems or environmental outages, this would slow the closing and funding process. The loan servicing system could be unavailable, requiring manua
Contingency Plans
IHE established a contingency planning team, identified core business processes, and has developed contingency plans for its mission critical processes. The company determined that the most likely worst case scenario would be environmental in nature (lack of power, telephone, data center communications). The company completed a detailed plan addressing the potential impact a Year 2000 compliance failure by it or its service providers could have on the company. Plans for all areas include tasks to
During the third quarter Contingency Project Team and Department representatives reviewed the plans for each core business process and then performed work area tests. Plans were enhanced and modified where needed as each phase of the review and testing were completed. Early in the fourth quarter plans for key customer support areas will also be "rehearsed." In this phase of testing business will be conducted, on a limited basis, in contingency mode.
Contingency plans have been approved by the Department manager and Senior Executive representing the Business Unit.
