PART I

Item 1 Business

General

Irwin Financial Corporation (the "Registrant") is a diversified financial
services company organized as an Indiana bank holding company in May, 1972.
The Registrant's principal subsidiaries are Inland Mortgage Corporation
("Inland Mortgage"), a mortgage banking company; Irwin Union Bank and
Trust Company ("Irwin Union Bank"), a commercial bank; Affiliated Capital
Corp. ("Affiliated"), an equipment leasing company; Irwin Home Equity
Corporation ("Home Equity"), a consumer home equity lending company;
White River Capital Corporation, a small venture capital company; and Irwin
Union Credit Insurance Corporation, a credit insurance company. Registrant is
also the sole equity shareholder of IFC Capital Trust I ("Capital Trust"), a
special purpose trust. Registrant is in the process of winding down Irwin
Union Investor Services, Inc. ("Investor Services") an investment and financial
counseling company.

Business of Subsidiaries

Inland Mortgage originates, purchases and services conventional or government
agency backed (i.e., FHA and VA) residential mortgage loans. Most mortgages
are either insured by an agency of the federal government, or in the case of a
conventional mortgage, meet requirements for resale to the Federal National
Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
Periodically, Inland Mortgage sells loans to private investors pursuant to their
requirements. Inland also originates a small amount of commercial mortgages.

Inland Mortgage sells mortgage loans to institutional investors but may
retain servicing rights to mortgage loans that it originates or purchases
from correspondents. Inland Mortgage collects and accounts for the monthly
payments on each loan serviced and pays the real estate taxes
and insurance necessary to protect the integrity of the mortgage lien, for
which it receives a servicing fee. Inland Mortgage operates 106 production
and satellite offices in 27 states. During 1996, Inland Mortgage established
offices in Temecula, California; Colorado Springs, and Denver Central,
Colorado; Marlton previously Cape May, New Jersey; Albuquerque, New Mexico;
Austin, Texas. During 1996, Inland Mortgage closed offices in Fresno, Long
Beach, Montclair, Orange, Pleasanton, San Francisco, San Mateo, San Rafael,
and Selma, California; Prescott, Arizona; Bloomington and St. Louis Park, MN;
Kalispell, Montana; Santa Fe, New Mexico; and Orting and Vancouver, Washington.

Inland Mortgage will enter the non-prime first mortgage lending market in
1997. This market is comprised of borrowers who do not qualify under
the underwriting guidelines established by the government sponsored secondary
market agencies for conforming first mortgages. Inland opened a non-prime
lending office in Richmond, Virginia late in the fourth quarter of 1996 and
will begin originating nonprime first mortgages in 1997.

Inland Mortgage and the Registrant have, for several years, been exploring
opportunities to test the development of mortgage banking operations in
markets outside the United States. In December, 1996, Inland Mortgage began
taking applications from U. S. Borrowers for Dollar denominated loans to be
secured by residential real estate located in Mexico. Inland does not
expect to close any of these loans until the first quarter of 1997. The
Registrant hopes to continue research of international opportunities
to which Registrant might apply its knowledge and competencies.

Irwin Union Bank, organized in 1871, is a full service commercial bank
offering a wide variety of services to individual, business, institutional,
and governmental customers. Irwin Union Bank's services include personal and
commercial checking accounts, savings and time deposit accounts, personal and
business loans, credit card services, money transfer, financial counseling,
property and casualty insurance agency services, trust services, securities
brokerage and safe deposit facilities. Irwin Union Bank
XXXPage 3XXX

is the largest of nine financial institutions operating in Bartholomew
County, Indiana with eight locations throughout the county. Irwin Union Bank
also has branch facilities in Seymour (Jackson County - 2), Shelbyville
(Shelby County 2), Bloomington (Monroe County), Franklin (Johnson County),
and Greensburg (Decatur County), Indiana. Irwin Union Bank has two trust
custodial offices in Indianapolis, Indiana. The custodial locations
are scheduled to close in January, 1997.

Affiliated, acquired in 1990 and located in
Northbrook, Illinois, is engaged in the small-ticket equipment leasing and
commercial lending business. Affiliated offers nonrecourse, non-
operating, full payout leases and commercial lines of credit to physicians,
medical clinics, veterinarians, dentists and chiropractors.

Home Equity was formed in 1994 and is located in San Ramon, California.
Home Equity originates and services home equity loans. The loans are
marketed through direct mail and telemarketing in sixteen states.

White River Capital Corporation ("White River"), a venture capital company,
is located in Columbus, Indiana and currently holds one investment but has
suspended making new investments.

Irwin Union Credit Insurance Corporation is located in Columbus, Indiana and
provides credit life insurance to consumer loan customers of Irwin Union Bank.

IFC Capital Trust I ("Capital Trust"), is a statutory business trust created
under the laws of Delaware. The Company owns all of the Common
Securities of Capital Trust. Trust exists for the purpose of issuing the
Preferred Securities and investing the proceeds thereof in an equivalent
amount of 9.25% Subordinated Debentures of the Company. The Subordinated
Debentures will mature on March 31, 2027, which date may be (i)
shortened to a date not earlier than March 31, 2002, or (ii) extended to a
date not later than March 31, 2046, in each case if certain conditions are
met (including, in the case of shortening the Stated Maturity, the Company
having received prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") to do so if then required under
applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve). The
Preferred Securities, which are guaranteed by the Company, will have a
preference under certain circumstances with respect to cash distributions
and amounts payable on liquidation, redemption or otherwise over the
Common Securities. Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to receive
preferential cumulative cash distributions, at the annual rate
of 9.25% of the liquidation amount of $25 per Preferred Security accruing
from the date of original issuance and payable quarterly in arrears on the
last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing
March 31, 1997.

No single part of the business of the Registrant is dependent upon a single
customer or upon a very few customers and the loss of any one
customer would not have a materially adverse effect upon the business of the
Registrant. Inland Mortgage is registered as a Foreign Financial Institution
in Mexico but has no foreign operations or export sales.

Competition

Inland Mortgage originates and services residential first mortgage loans from
106 production and satellite offices in Arizona, California, Colorado,
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin
and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, including offices in Maryland and
Virginia. In each of these locations, competition for mortgage
loans is vigorous, coming from other national, regional and local mortgage
banking companies as well as commercial banks, savings banks and
savings & loan associations. Inland Mortgage purchases mortgage loans from
correspondents in these and other states as well.

The commercial banking business for Irwin Union Bank in the Bartholomew,
Decatur, Jackson, Johnson, Monroe and Shelby County areas is very
competitive. Within these counties, in addition
XXXPAGE 4XXX

to the commercial banks, there are a number of savings banks, savings & loan
associations and credit unions competing for deposits and loans. Irwin Union
Bank also competes for the provision of banking services with banks located
elsewhere in Indiana, primarily in south central Indiana,
and with a number of nonbank companies located throughout the United States,
including insurance companies, retailers, brokerage firms, companies
offering money market accounts, and national credit card companies. As of
December 31, 1996, Irwin Union Bank ranked first among commercial
banking and savings bank institutions on the basis of Bartholomew County
deposits. In addition to the above mentioned counties, Irwin
Union Bank derives its business from several other counties in south central
Indiana.

Affiliated provides, primarily, medical equipment leasing and commercial
credit services to medical clinics, small groups of physicians, individual
practitioners, chiropractors, dentists and veterinarians. Affiliated's
primary competitors include other equipment leasing companies with
operations that are national in scope, banks and other financial institutions
which offer commercial credit products. Such competitors may
be headquartered anywhere in the country.

Home Equity originates home equity loans for private home owners in several
states. Home Equity's primary competitors include banks, thrifts, credit
unions and other home equity lenders with operations that are either national,
regional or local in scope. Such competitors may be headquartered anywhere
in the country.

Supervision and Regulation

The Registrant is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is registered with,
regulated and examined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Board of Governors").

Subject to certain exceptions, a bank holding company is prohibited from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent
of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank and from engaging
directly or indirectly in activities unrelated to banking or managing or
controlling banks. One exception to this prohibition permits activities by a
bank holding company or its subsidiary which the Board of Governors
determines to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling
banks as to be a proper incident thereto. The Board of Governors has adopted
regulations prescribing those activities it presently regards as permissible
which include the activities engaged in by Registrant and its subsidiaries.

The Bank Holding Company Act, the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act also subject bank holding companies and their subsidiaries to
certain restrictions on extensions of credit by subsidiary banks to the
bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, or investments in the
securities thereof, and on the taking of such securities as collateral for
loans to any borrower. Further, the Bank Holding Company Act and the
regulations of the Board of Governors thereunder, prohibit a bank holding
company and its subsidiaries from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in
connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of any property or
furnishing of services.

In addition to the regulation of the Registrant, Irwin Union Bank is subject
to extensive regulation and periodic examination, principally by the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Inland Mortgage is subject to audit and examination oversight
by the federal department of Housing and Urban Development as
well as the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National
Mortgage Association, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation. The insurance subsidiary of the Registrant and the insurance
subsidiary of Irwin Union Bank are dependent upon state licenses and
upon franchise agreements with private corporations for their continued
existence. The home equity subsidiary of the Registrant is also
dependent upon state licenses for its ability to extend credit in certain
states. Finally, the securities brokerage activities of Registrant's
registered broker/dealer are regulated and examined by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the Indiana Securities Division, the securities divisions
of the various states in which Investor Services operates, and the
National Association of Securities Dealers.
XXXPAGE 5XXX

Employees and Labor Relations

As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant and its subsidiaries
had a total of 1,998 employees, including full-time and parttime employees.
The Registrant continues a commitment of equal employment
opportunity for all job applicants and staff members, and management regards
its relations with its employees as satisfactory.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

As a part of the ordinary course of business, the Registrant and its
subsidiary companies 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 their regular business
activities.

As of December 31, 1996, Inland Mortgage was a defendant to a class action
lawsuit initiated in the state of Minnesota. The case is currently
pending before a federal Multidistrict Litigation Panel in Chicago, Illinois.
Plaintiffs allege that they represent a nationwide class of persons who have
or had mortgage escrow accounts allegedly improperly managed by Inland
Mortgage. This case is among a series of class action cases commenced against
a number of mortgage servicers in several states challenging the practices
used in connection with the administration of escrow accounts for
single family residential mortgages. Early in January, 1997, class
certification was denied to the plaintiff by the court. The plaintiff may
still pursue an action against Inland Mortgage as an individual and
plaintiff's counsel may still seek to find another mortgagor who would
support a new class action against Inland Mortgage so it is impossible to
predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to establish possible
extent or amount of liability or potential loss exposure, if any, to which
Inland Mortgage might be exposed in this or similar escrow individual or
class action cases brought in the future.

As of December 31, 1996, Inland Mortgage was a defendant to a class action
lawsuit initiated in the state of Indiana. The case is currently
pending before the Marion County Superior Court. Plaintiffs allege that
lenders do not have the right to require borrowers to pay premiums for
private mortgage insurance. This case is among a series of class action
cases commenced against a number of mortgage lenders in several states
challenging the right of mortgage lenders to collect private mortgage
insurance payments from borrowers. In February, 1996, Inland Mortgage
filed a motion for summary judgment with the court. In December, 1996, the
court denied the motion. The litigation is still at a stage where it is
impossible to predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to
establish possible extent or amount of liability or potential loss exposure,
if any, to which Inland Mortgage might be exposed.

As of December 31, 1996, Inland Mortgage was a defendant to a class action
lawsuit initiated in the state of Alabama. This action is one of a
breed of "RESPA Section 8" class actions that have been filed against several
mortgage lenders challenging the legality of the payment of
broker fees by mortgage lenders to mortgage brokers. The litigation is still
at an early stage and it is impossible to predict the likelihood of an
unfavorable outcome or to establish possible extent or amount of liability
loss exposure, if any, to which Inland Mortgage might be exposed.

As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant, Home Equity and certain officers of
Home Equity were defendants to an action initiated in the State
of California. The case is currently pending in the Superior Court of the
State of California in and for the City and County of San Francisco.
The plaintiff alleges that defendants misappropriated trade secrets of
plaintiff due to the employment by Home Equity of former officers and
employees of plaintiff. The plaintiff originally sought a preliminary
injunction hearing but the hearing was vacated in April, 1996. It is
impossible to predict the extent or amount of liability or potential loss
exposure, if any, to which Home Equity and the other named defendants might
be exposed.

As of December 31, 1996, Irwin Union Bank was plaintiff in an action
initiated in the State of New York against another depository institution
arising from a wire transfer of funds which occurred in September, 1995.
The litigation is presently in the discovery stage and it is
impossible to predict the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or to
establish the full extent of the potential loss exposure, if any,
to which Irwin Union Bank may be exposed.
XXXPAGE 8XXX

Except as described above, there is no material pending litigation in which
the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries is involved or of which
any of their property is the subject. Furthermore, there is no pending legal
proceeding that is adverse to the Registrant in which any director, officer
or affiliate of the Registrant, or any associate of any such director or
officer, is a party, or has a material interest.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

During the fourth quarter of 1996, no matters were submitted to a vote of
security holders of the Registrant, through the solicitation of
proxies or otherwise.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

The Common Stock of the Registrant is quoted on The Nasdaq National Market
(NASDAQ-NMS - trading symbol, IRWN). The following table sets forth
certain information regarding trading in, and cash dividends paid with
respect to, the shares of the Registrant's Common Stock in each quarter
of the two most recent calendar years. All data have been adjusted for stock
splits. The approximate number of shareholders of record on March 11, 1997
was 1,550.

Fourth Quarter 24 3/4 21 1/4 24 3/4 0.060 0.24

The Registrant expects to continue its policy of paying regular cash
dividends, although there is no assurance as to future dividends because they
are dependent on future earnings, capital requirements, and financial
condition. On February 27, 1996, the Registrant's Board of Directors
a pproved an increase in the Registrant's quarterly dividend to $.12 per
share which dividend rate was adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split
of December 30, 1996. Dividends paid by Irwin Union Bank to the Registrant are
restricted by banking law. See Note 14 of Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in the attached Annual Report to Shareholders.

No sales of unregistered equity securities were made by the Registrant during
the fourth quarter of 1996.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

The information contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year
ended December 31, 1996, under the caption "Five-Year Selected
Financial Data", is incorporated herein by reference in response to this item.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements. The Company desires to take advantage of the
"safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 as to "forward looking" statements in this Form 10-K. This section
contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of such Act,
including the statements made under the "1997 Outlook" section
for each line of business. Such statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties and actual results for subsequent periods could differ
materially from those addressed in forward looking statements as a result of
various factors, including the following:

Economic Conditions. The Company's results are likely to be influenced by
general economic conditions. Changes in local, regional or national
economies could have a material impact on the credit quality of the Company's
assets and the demand for its products and services.

Interest Rate Fluctuations. The Company actively manages its interest rate
risk exposure as described below in "Interest Rate Sensitivity," but if
interest rates should change rapidly or vary substantially from
anticipated levels, the Company's results may be impacted in the shortterm.

Government Regulation and Monetary Policy. The financial services industry
is subject to extensive federal and state regulations. There have been
significant changes in the past in such regulations, and there may be future
legislation or repeal of or changes in laws or regulations that could have a
material impact on the Company's businesses. Further, federal monetary policy
particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly
affects credit conditions for the Company, primarily through open market
operations in U.S. government securities, the discount rate for member bank
borrowing and bank reserve requirements, and a material change in these
conditions would be likely to have an impact on results.

Credit Quality and Liquidity Risk. As discussed below under "Risk
Management," "Credit Risk" and "Liquidity," the Company's businesses involve
the assumption of substantial financial risk. While the Company employs risk
management policies and procedures intended to minimize such financial risk
exposures as described below, such policies and procedures may not
prevent unexpected losses if borrowers' nonperformance significantly exceeds
the estimated loan loss levels anticipated by management in establishing loan
and lease loss reserves.

Computation. The Company competes with numerous financial institutions and
other non-depository financial intermediaries in each of its lines of
business. Future results may be impacted if circumstances affecting the
nature or level of competition change, such as the merger of
competing financial institutions or aggressive expansion by existing
competitors that may impact net interest margin.

Consolidated Overview:

Irwin Financial Corporation earned record net income in 1996. This
performance was largely due to increased loan originations in the mortgage
banking business, continued growth at the community bank, and improved
results at the Corporation's newly formed home equity lending business.

Net income for 1996 totaled $22,428,338, up 11.7% from 1995 and 23.1% from
1994. Net income per share in 1996 was $1.93 compared to $1.75 in 1995 and
$1.55 in 1994. Return on average equity for 1996 was 20.58% compared to 22.60%
in 1995 and 23.91% in 1994. Return on average assets was 1.95% compared to
2.28% in 1995 and 2.43% in 1994.

Overview & Strategy:

The mortgage banking line of business consists of Inland Mortgage Corporation
and the related activities of Irwin Union Bank. The business is
headquartered in Indianapolis and originates, packages, sells, and services
residential mortgage loans throughout the U.S. It has offices in 27 states
and ranks among the top 25 mortgage loan originators in the country. Most
of the loans originated and serviced are either government-insured through
the Veterans' Administration (VA) or Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or
conventional loans which conform to the underwriting guidelines of the
two principal government-sponsored agencies which support the secondary
mortgage markets, the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA)
and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC).

Mortgage loans are originated through both branches (retail) and third party
sources (wholesale). Potential borrowers are identified principally through
relationships maintained with housing intermediaries including realtors
and home builders.

Loans are funded on a short-term basis through credit facilities provided by
commercial banks including Irwin Union Bank. Repurchase agreements with
investment banks are also used. Individual loans are pooled, securitized, and
sold into the secondary mortgage market. Servicing rights are periodically
sold for a variety of reasons including cash flow and servicing portfolio
management. Over the past five years, servicing rights have been retained
on a total of 67.8% of the loans originated by this line of business.

1996 Review:
Net income from mortgage banking was $20.4 million in 1996, an increase of
5.6% over 1995 results of $19.3 million and 29.8% over 1994 results of $15.7
million.


Mortgage Closings:

Percent retail loans 41.8% 50.3% 56.6%
Percent wholesale loans 52.4 42.5 42.9
Percent brokered 5.8 7.2 0.5

Annual loan closings in 1996 of $5.1 billion were up 42.9% from 1995 and
80.8% from 1994. During 1996 the mortgage bank originated a greater portion of
its loans through wholesale channels than had been done in previous years.
Income from mortgage loan originations totaled $43.5 million which was $11.6
million over 1995 and $18.2 million over 1994. Mortgage loan applications in
process at the end of 1996 totaled $1.5 billion, compared with $1.2 billion
at the end of 1995 and $0.5 billion at the end of 1994. Refinances
accounted for 19.0% of 1996 loan closings, compared to 11.6% in 1995 and
15.8% in 1994.
XXXPAGE 13XXX

Gains from the sale of mortgage loans totaled $25.5 million in 1996, up from
$18.0 million in 1995 and $2.2 million in 1994. Gains recognized in 1996 and
for the last nine months of 1995 reflect the change in generally accepted
accounting principles for mortgage banking (SFAS No. 122) which took effect
April 1, 1995. Net revenues from loan sales were tempered somewhat by loan
pricing concessions which totaled $2.5 million in 1996 compared to
$3.8 million in 1995 and $0.1 million in 1994.

*Run-off is the reduction in principal balance of the
servicing portfolio due to regular principal payments made by mortgagees and
early repayment of an entire loan.

The mortgage servicing portfolio was $10.8 billion at December 31, 1996, up
4.9% from the same date in 1995 and 22.6% from 1994. The 1996 annual
portfolio run-off rate was 10.7%. This is up from the 1995 rate of 10.4% and
the 1994 rate of 6.3%. The following table sets forth certain information
regarding the interest rates of loans in the servicing portfolio at
December 31:


Servicing Portfolio by Interest Rate:

1996 1995 1994
Less than 7% 8.9% 10.3% 20.1%

--------- -------- --------
Total 100% 100% 100%

The value of capitalized servicing rights must be adjusted for impairment
which could result from interest rate changes. Although impairment
write-offs caused by declining interest rates would be accompanied by
increased loan origination fees, management has implemented hedging
alternatives to avoid significant impairment provisions. Expenses related to
mortgage servicing right impairment and hedging totaled $637.9 thousand in
1996 compared to $908.8 thousand in 1995. None were recorded in 1994.

The preceding information is related to the servicing portfolio owned by
Inland. In addition to the owned servicing portfolio, the business

XXXPAGE 14XXX

servicing rights. The subservicing portfolio totaled $1.7 billion at December
31, 1996, compared to $1.9 billion on the same date in 1995.


Servicing and Other Fees:

Other fees 888 787 647
-------------------------------
Total $45,475 $36,874 $33,073

Servicing fee income is recognized by collecting fees which range between 25
and 44 basis points annually on the principal amount of the underlying
mortgages. An increase in the average size of the servicing portfolio
throughout the year positively affected servicing income which increased
23.6% from 1995 and 37.5% from 1994.

Sale of Mortgage Servicing:

The mortgage banking business maintains the flexibility to either sell
servicing rights for current income and cash flow or retain servicing
for future cash flow. The decision to sell or retain servicing is based on
current market conditions balanced with the business' interest rate risk
tolerance.

Servicing rights totaling $3.1 billion were sold in 1996, generating a $16.4
million pre-tax gain on those sales, net of any purchased servicing
expense which had been capitalized. This compares to servicing sales of $1.0
billion in 1995 that produced a $15.3 million pre-tax gain and $1.4 billion
in 1994 that produced a $17.7 million pretax gain. The lower margin recognized
in 1996 reflects the impact of the change in mortgage accounting standards
made in 1995. Had all servicing been retained in 1996, gains on sales of
loans would have been higher than what was recorded, with a corresponding
reduction in gains from sales of servicing. Therefore, the net increase in
income as a result of the decision to sell servicing was insignificant.
Servicing sales in 1996 represented 60.9% of 1996 closings versus
1995 sales which were 28.4% of that year's closings and 1994 sales which
were 49.8% of closings.

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income is generated from the interest earned on mortgage loans
before they are sold to investors, less the interest expense
incurred on borrowings to fund the loans. Net interest income totaled $16.8
million in 1996, compared to $13.3 million in 1995 and $12.7
million in 1994. The increase is due primarily to the increased loan volume
experienced in 1996.

======== ======= ========
Number of employees at December 31, 1,474 1,316 955

Total operating expenses increased 36.3% from 1995 and 75.9% from 1994. The
increase reflects the continued expansion of the production system and
increased costs associated with technological improvements made during the
year.

1997 Outlook:
XXXPAGE 15XXX

The environment in which the mortgage bank operates is rapidly changing. As
a result, technology will play an increasingly important role in the mortgage
bank's strategic plans. Management believes that in order to remain
competitive, the mortgage bank must advance its use of technology to reduce
its costs of production and enhance its distribution methods or develop new
channels of distribution. Significant technology initiatives which were
started in 1996 will continue during the coming year.

Throughout much of its history, the mortgage banking business has
concentrated on the origination of FHA and VA loans. As such, the
company developed a reputation of effectively serving the mortgage
origination needs of first time home buyers. These borrowers generally
require more guidance through the origination process than do those borrowers
who previously qualified for mortgage loans.

Inland Mortgage continues to be interested in leveraging its capabilities to
serve those borrowers who have special needs. The business recently began two
initiatives to expand its reach in special needs borrowing. Both are in
their early stages and are not expected to add materially to results in 1997.
They are indicative, however, of efforts the company is making to focus on
defensible market segments where a sustainable competitive advantage can be
created based upon a dedication to customer service, fast turnaround time,
and product innovation.

The first such initiative is the mortgage bank's entrance into the non-prime
first mortgage lending market which is comprised of borrowers who do not
qualify under the underwriting guidelines established by the government
sponsored secondary market agencies for conforming first mortgages.
The second initiative to expand the company's reach involves making mortgage
loans on selected resort properties located outside the United
States. In December, 1996, Inland Mortgage began taking applications from
U.S. borrowers for dollar denominated loans to be secured by residential real
estate located in Mexico. The company is prepared to begin closing such loans
during the first quarter of 1997.

Employees:

As of December 31, 1996, the mortgage banking line of business employed 1,474
people- approximately 74% of the Corporation's total employee base. Total
employment expense in 1996 was $66.2 million or 58.2% of operating
expenses.

Overview & Strategy:

Community banking is conducted by Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company which is
headquartered in Columbus, Indiana. At year-end 1996, it had 15 offices in
six counties in south central Indiana. It holds a major share of the market
in Bartholomew County where it has operated since 1871. Expansion into
surrounding counties has occurred in recent years and has been on a de novo
basis. The community bank's strategy in these and other possible new markets
is to position itself as "the local bank." The objective is to deliver
services in the way customers would expect from a bank headquartered
in that market. This means that every effort is made to staff the offices
with local people and to give those people the authority to make key
customer decisions. Credit, investment, trust, and insurance services are
provided to individual and corporate customers.

1996 Review:

Community banking net income in 1996 totaled $4.3 million, up 16.9% from 1995
net income of $3.6 million and 39.5% from 1994 net income of $3.1 million.
The return on average equity was 13.35% in 1996 as compared to 13.16% in 1995
and 12.93% in 1994. Results include the income and expenses of trust
operations and investment advisory services which were previously reported
in the investor services line of business and are now managed and reported by
the community bank. Also included are credit insurance income and expenses
which were previously reported as a separate line of business. Results for
previous years have been restated for comparability.

*Reflects what net interest revenue would be if all
interest income was subject to federal and state
income taxes.

Net interest revenue on a taxable equivalent basis increased
9.4% from 1995 and 34.1% from 1994 to a total of $20.1
million. Net interest revenue is the product of
net interest margin and average earning assets.

Net interest margin was down for the year, coming in at 4.71% for 1996
compared to 4.91% in 1995 and 4.79% in 1994. The decline was
principally due to declines in yields in the community bank's loan portfolio.
The average yield on all earning assets was 8.45% compared
to 8.67% for 1995 and 7.61% for 1994.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses:
The provision for loan and lease losses in 1996 was $2.3 million, compared to
$2.0 million in 1995 and $1.3 million in 1994. The provision was
equal to 0.7% of average loans and leases outstanding in 1996, compared to
0.7% in 1995 and 0.6% in 1994. See the section on credit risk
for additional information on asset quality and reserve adequacy.

is partially attributed to the sale of $59.5 million of consumer loans during
1996 which generated a pre-tax gain of $676.0 thousand. The community
bank retained the right to service the sold loans which contributed to
increased loan servicing fees in 1996.

Operating expenses increased 15.5% from 1995 and 36.7% from 1994. Costs
associated with expanding new products and markets contributed to increases
over the past two years. In addition, during 1996 the community bank changed
its strategy for offering employee benefits services to customers
of the trust department. The decision was made to simplify and streamline
the product offering. Also during 1996, the community bank exited the
mortgage document custody business. As a result of these two changes, the
community bank recorded $1.5 million of restructuring expenses
during the year.

Balance Sheet:

Total assets averaged $459.9 million in 1996, compared to $405.2 million in
1995 and $344.7 million in 1994. Average earning assets for the
year were $426.3 million, up $52.5 million or 14.0% from 1995 and up $113.4
million or 36.2% from 1994. The most significant component of the
1996 increase was loans and leases which were up $44.1 million on average in
1996 as a result of the community bank's expansion efforts into new
markets. Average deposits were $413.9 million or 15.5% higher in 1996 than
1995 and $98.7 million or 31.3% higher than 1994.

The community bank's equity to assets ratio averaged 6.93% for the year,
compared to 6.83% in 1995 and 6.84% in 1994.

1997 Outlook:

During 1997, the community bank plans to take advantage of the opportunities
created by further consolidation in the banking industry. It plans to enter
two new markets in which it can become the "local banking" alternative. The
community bank will continue to expand its offering of non-traditional
services in all of its markets. In addition, the community bank
plans a test in certain markets of a new personal banker service made
possible by the integration of information systems and new customer delivery
channels through the use of new technology.

Employees:

As of December 31, 1996 the community bank employed 304 people. Total
employment expense in 1996 was $10.9 million or 53.7% of total operating
expenses.

Overview & Strategy:

The home equity line of business includes Irwin Home Equity
and the related activities of Irwin Union Bank. Irwin Home Equity is
located in San Ramon, California and was incorporated in late 1994.
The company began marketing home equity loans in early 1995 through
direct mail and telemarketing and currently markets in 16 states.

The business has the option to either hold the loans in portfolio or
securitize and service them. If the loans are held in portfolio, many
costs incurred during the period to produce the loans are expensed
immediately, whereas the revenue from the loans accrues over the lives of
the loans. Alternatively, if the loans are securitized and sold on the
secondary market to investors, a portion of the present value of the
future net revenues from the loans will be recognized in the current period,
helping to offset the expenses incurred in producing the loans.

1996 Review:

The home equity lending business recorded a pre-tax loss of $0.8 million in
1996, compared to a $3.2 million pre-tax loss in 1995.

Loan Originations:

During 1996 the home equity lending business originated $169.1 million of
home equity loans, up 93.5% from 1995 volume of $87.4 million.

The business securitized and delivered $79.9 million of loans in 1996 which
generated a pre-tax gain of $6.8 million. This compares to a
$3.0 million gain recognized in 1995 on the sale of $51.6 million of loans.
In addition to the $79.9 million of loans that were delivered in 1996,
another $60.1 million were securitized. These loans will be delivered in the
first quarter of 1997, and the gain on the sale will be recognized at that
time. During 1996, the business also recorded a one-time $1.0 million
pre-tax adjustment to the gain recorded on the 1995 securitization. The
adjustment resulted from the substitution of a letter of credit in
1996 for the cash reserve which had been in place when the transaction was
recorded. This revised approach to providing for reserves caused the 1995
gain to be higher than it would have been under the previous approach. If the
business uses letters of credit in future transactions, the resulting gains
are expected to be similarly affected.

XXXPAGE 22XXX

The home equity lending business continues to service loans it has
securitized. The servicing portfolio, which includes loans held on the
company's books as well as securitized loans, increased 165.8% from 1995.
The business earns a servicing fee equal to one percent of the
outstanding principal balance of the securitized loans. Servicing fee income
increased to $4.6 million in 1996 from $12.9 thousand in 1995. The
level of fees in 1995 reflects the fact that loans were not securitized until
late in the year.

Net Interest Income:

As a result of the increased loan volume in 1996, net interest income before
loan loss provision was up 234.6% to $5.6 million. The loan loss
provision also increased to $983.5 thousand from $363.0 thousand. Net charge-
offs for the home equity lending business were $37.0 thousand in
1996 as compared to $2.1 thousand in 1995.

Balance Sheet:

The home equity lending business had $118.2 million of loans outstanding at
December 31, 1996. This compares to $36.4 million at the end of 1995. The
loan loss allowance also increased to $589.4 thousand at December 31, 1996
from $146.6 thousand in 1995.

1997 Outlook:

During 1997, the home equity lending business looks to develop its business
further and to increase its loan production volume. The business plans to
continue exploring new products, funding alternatives, and markets
where its skills in identifying customers well served by direct marketing of
products uniquely tailored to their needs can be best applied.

The business will maintain the flexibility of either holding the loans it
produces in portfolio or securitizing them in order to accelerate the
recognition of income. Management will evaluate these options throughout the
year in light of market conditions and financial objectives.

Employees:

As of December 31, 1996, the home equity business employed 159 people. Total
employment expense in 1996 was $8.6 million or 48.4% of total operating
expenses.

Overview & Strategy:

The equipment leasing line of business is made up of Affiliated Capital Corp.
and the related activities of Irwin Union Bank. Affiliated is a
small-ticket leasing company headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, focused
on the medical equipment industry. The company was started by
Irwin Financial in 1990 when it hired the staff and acquired the rights to
the customers and vendors of the predecessor company which had
been in business since 1983.

The strategy of the equipment leasing business is to establish relationships
with manufacturers and distributors of medical equipment and to
place leases with medical professionals through the sales representatives of
these vendors. This allows the business to place leases nationwide
despite the fact that all employees are located in Northbrook. In response to
changing customer needs, in 1995 the business
XXXPAGE 24XXX

began entering into private-label financing agreements with several equipment
manufacturers and began offering a revolving credit product to
complement its lease products.

The business focuses on relatively low cost (under $50,000) equipment for
health care professionals. In general, this equipment provides low cost
treatment that is often preventative in nature. Markets covered include
both hospitals and alternate care sites.

1996 Review:

Equipment leasing recorded a pre-tax loss of $140.8 thousand in 1996,
compared with a pre-tax loss of $333.7 thousand in 1995 and pre-tax income of
$872.6 in 1994. As a result of the strategy changes implemented in
late 1995, lease and loan volume increased to $36.6 million in 1996, up
46.8% from $25.0 million in 1995 and 55.3% from $23.6 million in
1994. However, because of increased competition in the equipment leasing
industry which created margin pressures, net interest income did not
increase commensurately. Net interest income totaled $3.6 million in 1996,
an increase of $212.9 thousand or 6.2% from 1995 and a decrease
of $717.4 thousand or 16.5% from 1994. Operating expenses were $4.2 million
for the year, 3.4% higher than 1995 and 16.5% higher than 1994.

1997 Outlook:

Competition in the small-ticket leasing industry is expected to remain
strong in 1997. The equipment leasing business will strive to remain
competitive with larger lessors using a strategy that focuses on adding
value through product differentiation to targeted business partners.
The challenge for the business is to demonstrate that this strategy can
achieve an attractive rate of return on equity in the long run.

Employees:

As of December 31, 1996, equipment leasing employed 38 people. Total
employment expense in 1996 was $2.0 million or 48.0% of total
operating expenses.

During the third quarter of 1996, the Corporation exited the brokered
certificate of deposit and institutional brokerage businesses
which were the sole businesses operated by the Investor Services line of
business. A sale of selected assets of the brokered certificate of
deposit program was completed in the third quarter, and its impact on
earnings was not material. Parent company results in each period
include the results of investor services.

The results of parent company operations combined with Investor Services
results and consolidating entries are summarized below:


(In thousands) 1996 1995 1994

----------------------------------
Net income (loss) $(1,291) $667 $(1,435)

Dividends from subsidiaries are recorded as parent company revenues but are
eliminated in determining consolidated net income. Tax benefits result from
the operating losses generated by the home equity and equipment
leasing businesses whose results have been reported pre-tax.

Each subsidiary pays taxes to the parent company at the statutory rate.
Subsidiaries also pay fees to the parent company to cover direct and
indirect services. In addition, services are provided from one subsidiary to
another. Intercompany income and expenses are calculated on an arm's length,
external market basis.

Consolidated Income Statement Analysis: Pre-tax income for 1996 totaled
$37.3 million, up 14.9% from 1995 and 24.0% from 1994. The effective income
tax rate was 39.8% in 1996, 38.1% in 1995, and 39.4% in 1994. Please see
Note 16 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on income taxes.

Net interest revenue for 1996 totaled $47.8 million, up 28.1% from 1995 and
45.9% from 1994. The increase was due to a combination of increased loan
volume at the community bank and home equity lending business and higher
mortgage loan originations at the mortgage bank. Net interest margin was
4.94% in 1996, compared to 4.93% in 1995 and 5.03% in 1994. See page 70
for further analysis of the net interest margin.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, a summary of the

The consolidated provision for loan losses for 1996 was $4.5 million, up
44.8% from 1995 and 157.7% from 1994. More information on this
subject is contained in the section on credit risk.

Other income increased 34.6% in 1996 to $153.6 million. This compares to
$114.1 million in 1995 and $85.9 million in 1994. The most significant
increases came in the categories related to mortgage banking and home equity
lending activities which were previously discussed on pages 32 and 46.

Other expenses in 1996 totaled $159.7 million, up 37.8% from 1995 and 83.9%
from 1994. The 1996 increase in consolidated other expense of $43.8
million was mostly due to operating expenses associated with expanded
mortgage and home equity loan production.

Consolidated Balance
Sheet Analysis:

Total assets at year-end 1996 were $1.3 billion, up 25.6% from 1995 and
97.7%:from 1994. However, changes in the average balance sheet are a more
accurate reflection of the actual changes in the level of activity on the
balance sheet. Average assets were $1.2 billion in 1996, up 30.5% from
1995 and 53.7% from 1994. Mortgage loans held for sale increased by $93.2
million, while loans and leases increased by $127.5 million or 34.5%
on average in 1996.

The Corporation's commercial loans are extended primarily to local regional
businesses and to local farming operations in the market area of
Irwin Union Bank. The Corporation also extends credit to consumers through
installment loans and revolving credit arrangements. The majority
of the remaining
XXXPAGE 27XXX

portfolio consists of residential mortgage loans (1-4 family
dwellings) and mortgage loans on commercial property. Loans by major

Short-term borrowings averaged $334.3 million in 1996, compared to $217.3
million in 1995 and $167.8 million in 1994. The increase in 1996 is
due to the increase in mortgage loan closings in 1996.

Capital:

Shareholders' equity averaged $109.0 million in 1996, up 22.6% from 1995 and
43.0% from 1994. Year-end shareholders' equity of $118.9 million
represented book value per share of $10.46, compared to $8.76 and $7.21 at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 122 in the second quarter of 1995, mortgage
banking accounting did not allow the full value of mortgage servicing rights
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 standard, it represents substantial
economic value which is not recorded on the balance sheet. The following
table demonstrates the estimated after-tax value of the servicing
portfolio at December 31:

With the implementation of the new accounting standard in 1995, this

reduced to zero.

Total book value per share including the value of the servicing portfolio

December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Capital is a major focus of regulatory attention, with both book and
risk-based capital standards used as capital adequacy
measures. Unless an institution has adequate capital in the opinion of the
regulators, they may withhold approval for new activities or
force additions to capital. Therefore, the Corporation considers both the
regulator's viewpoint and its own analysis of the capital
structure and leverage amounts that are consistent with underlying business
risks.

At year-end 1996, the Corporation's total risk-adjusted capital ratio was
14.23% compared to a current regulatory minimum of 8.0%. The Corporation's
ending equity to assets ratio for 1996 was 9.12%. However, as previously
discussed, temporary conditions which existed at year end make the average
balance sheet ratio a more accurate measure of capital. The Corporation's
average equity to assets ratio for 1996 was 9.46%.

In January 1997, the Corporation issued $50,000,000 of trust preferred
securities through a trust created and controlled by the Corporation. The
securities, which are publicly traded, were issued at $25 per share with a
cumulative dividend rate of 9.25%, payable quarterly. They have an initial
maturity of 30 years with a 19-year extension option which the
Corporation can exercise at any point during the first 30 years. The
securities are callable at par after five years, or immediately, in the
event of an adverse tax development affecting the Corporation's
classification of the securities for federal income tax purposes. The
securities are not convertible into common stock of the Corporation.

The Corporation expects to continue its policy of paying regular cash
dividends, although there is no assurance as to future dividends because they
are dependent on future earnings, capital requirements, and financial
condition. On February 19, 1997, the Corporation's Board of
Directors approved an increase in the first quarter dividend to $0.07 per
share, payable in March 1997. Dividends by the Irwin Union Bank to
the Corporation are restricted by banking law. See Note 15 of Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Risk Management:

As a financial intermediary, Irwin Financial Corporation is engaged in
businesses which involve the assumption of financial risks including:

- Credit risk
- Liquidity risk
- Interest rate risk

Each line of business that assumes financial risk uses a formal process to
manage this risk. In all cases, the objectives are to ensure that
risk is contained within prudent levels and that we are adequately
compensated for the level of risk assumed. The Chairman, the President, and
the Chief Financial Officer of the parent company participate in each
subsidiary's risk management process.

Credit Risk:

The assumption of credit risk is a key source of earnings for the community
bank, home equity lending, and equipment leasing businesses. In
addition, the mortgage banking business assumes some credit risk despite the
fact that its mortgages are typically insured. The credit risk
in the loan portfolio of the community bank and home equity lending business
has the most potential to have a significant effect on consolidated
financial performance.
XXXPAGE 32XXX

The community bank and home equity lending business manage credit risk
through the use of lending policies, credit analysis and approval
procedures, periodic loan reviews, and personal contact with borrowers.
Loans over a certain size are reviewed by a loan committee prior to
approval.

The equipment leasing business manages credit risk in a manner similar to
that used by the community bank and the home equity business. It
uses lending policies, credit analysis procedures and personal contact
with lessees.

An allowance for loan and lease losses is established as an
estimate of the potential credit risk of the loans and leases held by the
Corporation. In determining the adequacy of this allowance,
management evaluates the creditworthiness of significant borrowers, past
loan and lease loss experience, and current and anticipated economic
conditions. The allowance is increased by provisions against income and
recoveries of loans and leases previously charged off. Loans and leases
that are determined by management to be uncollectible are charged
against the allowance. The table on page 64 analyzes the consolidated
allowance for possible loan and lease losses over the past five years.

Net charge-offs in 1996 were $1.8 million, down 15.2% from 1995, and up
53.9% from 1994. Net charge-offs to average loans and leases was
0.36%, compared to 0.57% in 1995 and 0.41% in 1994. The provision for loan
and lease losses was $4.5 million, 249.9% of net charge-offs. The coverage
ratio was 146.3% in 1995 and 149.3% in 1994.

At year end, the allowance for possible loan and lease losses was 1.25% of
loans and leases, compared to 1.12% in 1995 and 1.25% in 1994.

Total nonperforming loans and leases at year end were $5.0 million, compared
to $2.4 million at the end of 1995 and $2.8 million at the end of
1994. Nonperforming loans and leases as a percent of total loans and leases
were 0.94% at year-end 1996, compared to 0.58% in 1995 and 0.90% in 1994.
Other real estate owned totaled $2.2 million at December 31, 1996, up
from $0.3 million in 1995 and $0.5 in 1994. Total nonperforming assets
were $7.2 million, or 0.55% of total assets at December 31, 1996, as
compared to $2.7 million or 0.26% at year-end 1994 and $3.3 million or
0.50% at the end of 1994.

that would be similarly affected by economic or other conditions.

Generally, the accrual of income is discontinued when the full collection of
principal or interest is in doubt, or when the payment of
principal or interest has become contractually 90 days past due unless the
obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection.

Liquidity:

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 or sales and through short-term borrowings.

The objectives of liquidity management are to ensure that funds will be
available to meet demands and that funds are available at a
reasonable cost. As with other forms of financial risk, liquidity is managed
separately at each of our lines of business. In the case of
Irwin Union Bank, this occurs at the monthly meeting of the Asset-Liability
Management Committee.

Since loans and leases are substantially less marketable than securities,
the ratio of total loans to total deposits is the traditional measure of
liquidity for banks and bank holding companies. At year-end 1996, this ratio
stood at 81.6%. The Corporation is able to maintain this position of high
liquidity without a substantial sacrifice in the form of a lower net interest
margin due to the position in mortgage loans held for sale. These loans
carry an interest rate equal to the current market rate for mortgage loans.
However, liquidity is significantly improved since all mortgage loans
held for sale are in the process of being securitized and sold. The holding
period for an individual loan typically does not exceed 90 days.

Interest Rate Sensitivity:

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the potential for changes in market rates of
interest to cause changes in net interest income. Since net interest income
is a major source of income, it is important that potential
changes are managed prudently.

The Asset-Liability Management Committee of Irwin Union Bank monitors the
repricing structure of both assets and liabilities over various time
horizons. Exposure to changes in interest rates is evaluated by modeling the
repricing characteristics of the portfolio under multiple rate scenarios.
Formal policies approved by the Bank's Board of Directors ensure
that exposure to changes in net interest revenues is maintained within
acceptable levels.

The mortgage banking business assumes a form of 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. Once again, a formal policy ensures that this risk is
controlled. The home equity and equipment leasing businesses are exposed to
potential interest rate risk that is similar to the lending operations of
the community bank.

Rate sensitivity at the community bank can typically be managed by
controlling the maturity of loans, securities, and deposits. The
community bank may also use financial futures or interest rate swaps from
time to time. The mortgage bank buys commitments to deliver loans
at a fixed price to manage risk. The policy at both the home equity lending
business and the equipment leasing business is to match-fund all
assets. In some cases, the Corporation uses internal hedges to allow for the
risk characteristics of one line of business to offset those of another.
XXXPAGE 36XXX

As the following table shows, the consolidated one-year gap at year-end 1996
was a positive $133.2 million. This compares to a positive gap of $153.6
million at year-end 1995. The large positive gaps have been due to levels
of escrow deposits from the servicing portfolio of the mortgage bank. These
deposits are generally held in noninterest-bearing accounts at Irwin Union
Bank. However, they are invested in earning assets with rate maturities of
less than one year, including mortgage loans held for sale.

Since the gap was positive, it means that with respect to net interest
income, the Corporation was positioned to benefit from rising interest
rates, or to be harmed by declining rates. While traditional interest
rate risk focuses on the changes in net interest income due to interest
rate changes, the Corporation engages in other activities which are also
affected by interest rate changes. Principal among these are mortgage
loan origination and servicing. For example, if interest rates decline,
management expects an increase in mortgage loan origination income and
a decline in the value of mortgage servicing rights. Management attempts
to monitor this exposure to traditional interest rate risk as
well as interest rate influences on production and servicing value in a
comprehensive manner.

In addition, the static one-year gap is not a reliable measure of actual
exposure to changes in market interest rates. Consequently, management
uses simulations of the behavior of net interest revenue to determine
exposure and to develop hedging strategies.

Effects of Inflation:

The Corporation is affected by inflation primarily as it impacts interest
rates. We believe that a financial institution's ability to react to changing
interest rates is an indicator of its ability to perform in an inflationary
environment. Please see the section on interest rate sensitivity for
a discussion on this subject.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Irwin Financial Corporation
Columbus, Indiana

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Irwin Financial
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, which
financial statements are included on pages 77 through 101 of the 1996
Annual Report to Shareholders of Irwin Financial Corporation and
incorporated by reference herein. We have also audited the financial
statement schedules listed in the index on page 43 of this Form 10-K. These
financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Irwin
Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, in
our opinion, the financial statement schedules referred to above,
when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information required
to be included therein.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Corporation adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights, as of April 1, 1995.
