                      INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN REPORT


Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
            Appointment of Principal Officers
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     On November 17, 2004, J. Curt Gardner  informed the Registrant  that he was
resigning  as  Chairman  of the Board and  Director  of the  Registrant  and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Irwin Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank"). At the time of
his resignation,  Mr. Gardner served as a member of the Registrant's  Executive,
Audit and  Compensation  Committees  and also  served on the Board  Loan  Review
Committee of the Bank. The Registrant  believes that Mr.  Gardner's  resignation
may be attributable  to a disagreement  over the process that was used to arrive
at a vote on matters of importance.  For further information,  reference is made
to the press release dated November 18, 2004, which is filed with this report as
Exhibit 99.1.

Item 9.01.   Financial Statements and Exhibits
