Other Consolidated Subsidiaries
 
We have other subsidiaries that are not significant to the consolidated entity.
 
1st Source Capital Trust IV and 1st Source Master Trust
 
Our unconsolidated subsidiaries include 1st Source Capital Trust IV and 1st Source Master Trust. These subsidiaries were created for the purposes of issuing $30.00 million and $57.00 million of trust preferred securities, respectively, and lending the proceeds to 1st Source. We guarantee, on a limited basis, payments of distributions on the trust preferred securities and payments on redemption of the trust preferred securities. 1st Source Capital Trust II and 1st Source Capital Trust III were dissolved during 2008.
 
Competition
 
The activities in which we and the Bank engage in are highly competitive. Our businesses and the geographic markets we serve match us against other banks, some of which are affiliated with large bank holding companies headquartered outside of our principal market. We generally compete on the basis of client service and responsiveness to client needs, available loan and deposit products, the rates of interest charged on loans and leases, the rates of interest paid for funds, other credit and service charges, the quality of services rendered, the convenience of banking facilities, and in the case of loans and leases to large commercial borrowers, relative lending limits.
 
In addition to competing with other banks within our primary service areas, the Bank also competes with other financial service companies, such as credit unions, industrial loan associations, securities firms, insurance companies, small loan companies, finance companies, mortgage companies, real estate investment trusts, certain governmental agencies, credit organizations, and other enterprises.
 
Additional competition for depositors’ funds comes from United States Government securities, private issuers of debt obligations, and suppliers of other investment alternatives for depositors. Many of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive Federal regulations that govern bank holding companies and banks. Such non-bank competitors may, as a result, have certain advantages over us in providing some services.
 
We compete against these financial institutions by being convenient to do business with, and by taking the time to listen and understand our clients needs. We deliver personalized, one on one banking through knowledgeable local members of the community, offering a full array of products and highly personalized services. We rely on our history and our reputation in northern Indiana dating back to 1863.
 
Employees
 
At December 31, 2008, we had approximately 1,280 employees on a full-time equivalent basis. We provide a wide range of employee benefits and consider employee relations to be good.
 
Regulation and Supervision
 
General — 1st Source and the Bank are extensively regulated under Federal and State law. To the extent that the following information describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on our business and our prospective business. Our operations may be affected by legislative changes and by the policies of various regulatory authorities. We are unable to predict the nature or the extent of the effects on our business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic controls, or new Federal or State legislation may have in the future.
 
We are a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHCA) and, as such, we are subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve). We are required to file annual reports with the Federal Reserve and to provide the Federal Reserve such additional information as it may require.
 
1st Source Bank, as an Indiana state bank and member of the Federal Reserve System, is supervised by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) and the Federal Reserve. As such, 1st Source Bank is regularly examined by and subject to regulations promulgated by the DFI and the Federal Reserve. Because the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) provides deposit insurance to 1st Source Bank, we are also subject to supervision and regulation by the FDIC (even though the FDIC is not our primary Federal regulator).
 
Bank Holding Company Act — Under the BHCA, as amended, our activities are limited to business so closely related to banking, managing, or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. We are also subject to capital requirements applied on a consolidated basis in a form substantially similar to those required of the Bank. The BHCA also requires a bank holding company to obtain approval from the Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring, or holding more than 5% voting interest in any bank or bank holding company, (ii) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company, or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.
 
The BHCA also restricts non-bank activities to those which, by statute or by Federal Reserve regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of banking or of managing or controlling banks. As discussed below, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which was enacted in 1999, established a new type of bank holding company known as a "financial holding company" that has powers that are not otherwise available to bank holding companies.
 
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 — The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) reorganized and reformed the regulatory structure applicable to financial institutions generally.
 
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 — The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) was adopted to supervise and regulate a wide variety of banking issues. In general, FDICIA provides for the recapitalization of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), deposit
 
-4-

 
insurance reform, including the implementation of risk-based deposit insurance premiums, the establishment of five capital levels for financial institutions ("well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized") that would impose more scrutiny and restrictions on less capitalized institutions, along with a number of other supervisory and regulatory issues. At December 31, 2008, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized," meaning that our total risk-based capital ratio exceeded 10.00%, our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio exceeded 6.00%, our leverage ratio exceeded 5.00%, and we are not subject to a regulatory order, agreement, or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
 
Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act — On February 1, 2006, Congress approved the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (FDIRA). Among other things, the FDIRA provides for the merger of the Bank Insurance Fund with the Savings Association Insurance Fund and for an immediate increase in Federal deposit insurance for certain retirement accounts up to $250,000. The statute further provides for the indexing of the maximum deposit insurance coverage for all types of deposit accounts in the future to account for inflation. The FDIRA also requires the FDIC to provide certain banks and thrifts that were in existence prior to December 31, 1996 with one-time credits against future premiums based on the amount of their payments to the Bank Insurance Fund or Savings Association Insurance Fund prior to that date.
 
FDIC Deposit Insurance Assessments — On October 16, 2008, in response to the recent problems facing the financial markets and the economy, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation published a restoration plan designed to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund over a period of five years and to increase the deposit insurance reserve ratio. On December 16, 2008, the FDIC adopted a final rule increasing risk-based assessment rates uniformly by 7 basis points, on an annual basis, for the first quarter 2009. The FDIC indicated that it will issue another final rule early in 2009, to take effect on April 1, 2009, to change the way that the FDIC's assessment system differentiates for risk, make corresponding changes to assessment rates beginning with the second quarter of 2009, and make certain technical and other changes to the assessment rules.
 
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program — On November 21, 2008, the FDIC Board of Directors adopted a final rule implementing the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLG Program). The TLG Program consists of two basic components: a guarantee of newly issued senior unsecured debt of banks, thrifts, and certain holding companies (the debt guarantee program) and full guarantee of non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts, such as business payroll accounts, regardless of dollar amount (the transaction account guarantee program). The purpose of the guarantee of transaction accounts and the debt guarantee is to reduce funding costs and allow banks and thrifts to increase lending to consumers and businesses. All insured depository institutions were automatically enrolled in both programs unless they elected to opt out by a specified date. 1st Source did not elect to opt out and thus participates in both programs.
 
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 On October 3, 2008, President George W. Bush signed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA). This Act temporarily raises the basic limit on federal deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor effective immediately. This temporary increase in the deposit insurance limit expires on December 31, 2009.
 
Under the Troubled Asset Relief Program established by EESA, the U.S. Treasury Department announced a Capital Purchase Program (CPP). CPP is designed to encourage U.S. financial institutions to build capital to increase the flow of financing to U.S. businesses and consumers and support the U.S. economy. Under the program, Treasury will purchase up to $250 billion of senior preferred shares on standardized terms as described in the program's term sheet. The program is available to qualifying U.S. controlled banks, savings associations, and certain bank and savings and loan holding companies engaged only in financial activities that elect submitted applications to Treasury by November 14, 2008. EESA provides for Treasury to determine an applicant’s eligibility to participate in the CPP after consulting with the appropriate federal banking agency.
 
1st Source submitted an application to participate in the CPP and obtained Treasury approval on December 11, 2008. On January 23, 2009, 1st Source issued preferred stock valued at $111.00 million and a warrant to acquire 837,947 shares of its common stock to Treasury pursuant to the CPP. The warrant is exercisable at any time during the ten-year period following issuance at an exercise price of $19.87.
 
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) — We are under the jurisdiction of the SEC and certain state securities commissions for matters relating to the offering and sale of our securities and our investment advisory services. We are subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as administered by the SEC. We are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol "SRCE," and we are subject to the rules of Nasdaq for listed companies.
 
Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 — Congress enacted the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Interstate Act) in September 1994. Beginning in September 1995, bank holding companies have the right to expand, by acquiring existing banks, into all states, even those which had theretofore restricted entry. The legislation also provides that, subject to future action by individual states, a holding company has the right to convert the banks which it owns in different states to branches of a single bank. The states of Indiana and Michigan have adopted the interstate branching provisions of the Interstate Act.
 
Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 — The Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 (EGRPRA) was signed into law on September 30, 1996. Among other things, EGRPRA streamlined the non-banking activities application process for well-capitalized and well-managed bank holding companies.
 
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 — The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA) is intended to modernize the banking industry by removing barriers to affiliation among banks, insurance companies, the securities industry, and other financial service providers. It provides financial organizations with the flexibility of structuring such affiliations through a holding company structure or through a financial subsidiary of a bank, subject to certain limitations. The GLBA establishes a new type of bank holding company, known as a financial holding company, which may engage in an expanded list of activities that are "financial in nature," which include securities and insurance brokerage, securities underwriting, insurance underwriting, and merchant banking. The GLBA also sets forth a system of functional regulation that makes the Federal Reserve the "umbrella supervisor" for holding companies, while providing for the supervision of the holding company’s subsidiaries by other Federal and state agencies. A bank holding company may not become a financial holding company if any of its subsidiary financial institutions are not well-capitalized or well-managed. Further, each bank subsidiary of the holding company must have received at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) rating. The GLBA also expands the types of financial activities a national bank may conduct through a financial subsidiary, addresses state regulation of insurance, generally prohibits unitary thrift holding companies organized after May 4, 1999 from participating in new activities that are not financial in nature, provides privacy protection for nonpublic customer information of financial institutions, modernizes the Federal Home Loan Bank system, and makes miscellaneous regulatory improvements. The Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the Treasury must coordinate their supervision regarding approval of new financial activities to be conducted through a financial holding company or through a financial subsidiary of a bank. While the provisions of the GLBA regarding activities that may be conducted through a financial subsidiary directly apply only to national banks, those provisions indirectly apply to state-
-5-

 
chartered banks. In addition, the Bank is subject to other provisions of the GLBA, including those relating to CRA and privacy, regardless of whether we elect to become a financial holding company or to conduct activities through a financial subsidiary. We do not, however, currently intend to file notice with the Board to become a financial holding company or to engage in expanded financial activities through a financial subsidiary.
 
Financial Privacy — In accordance with the GLBA, Federal banking regulators adopted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose non-public information about customers to nonaffiliated third parties. These limitations require disclosure of privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to a nonaffiliated third party. The privacy provisions of the GLBA affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors.
 
USA Patriot Act of 2001 — The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (USA Patriot Act) was signed into law following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The USA Patriot Act is comprehensive anti-terrorism legislation that, among other things, substantially broadened the scope of anti-money laundering laws and regulations by imposing significant new compliance and due diligence obligations on financial institutions.
 
The regulations adopted by the United States Treasury Department under the USA Patriot Act impose new obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering, and terrorist financing. Additionally, the regulations require that we, upon request from the appropriate Federal regulatory agency, provide records related to anti-money laundering, perform due diligence of private banking and correspondent accounts, establish standards for verifying customer identity, and perform other related duties.
 
Failure of a financial institution to comply with the USA Patriot Act's requirements could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution.
 
Regulations Governing Capital Adequacy — The Federal bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in their examination and regulation of bank holding companies and banks. If capital falls below the minimum levels established by these guidelines, a bank holding company or bank will be required to submit an acceptable plan for achieving compliance with the capital guidelines and will be subject to denial of applications and appropriate supervisory enforcement actions. The various regulatory capital requirements that we are subject to are disclosed in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note R of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Our management believes that the risk-weighting of assets and the risk-based capital guidelines do not have a material adverse impact on our operations or on the operations of the Bank.
 
Community Reinvestment Act — The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the Federal banking regulators must evaluate the record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those banks. Federal banking regulators are required to consider a financial institution's performance in these areas as they review applications filed by the institution to engage in mergers or acquisitions or to open a branch or facility.
 
Regulations Governing Extensions of Credit — 1st Source Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to 1st Source or our subsidiaries, or investments in our securities and on the use of our securities as collateral for loans to any borrowers. These regulations and restrictions may limit our ability to obtain funds from the Bank for our cash needs, including funds for acquisitions and for payment of dividends, interest and operating expenses. Further, the BHCA, certain regulations of the Federal Reserve, state laws and many other Federal laws govern the extensions of credit and generally prohibit a bank from extending credit, engaging in a lease or sale of property, or furnishing services to a customer on the condition that the customer obtain additional services from the bank’s holding company or from one of its subsidiaries.
 
1st Source Bank is also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, or any related interest of such persons. Extensions of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, and subject to credit underwriting procedures that are at least as stringent as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non affiliates, and (ii) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. The Bank is also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons.
 
Reserve Requirements — The Federal Reserve requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves against their transaction account deposits. The Bank must maintain reserves of 3.00% against net transaction accounts greater than $10.30 million and up to $44.40 million (subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve) and reserves of 10.00% must be maintained against that portion of net transaction accounts in excess of $44.40 million.
 
Dividends — The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is limited by state and Federal Regulations that require 1st Source Bank to obtain the prior approval of the DFI before paying a dividend that, together with other dividends it has paid during a calendar year, would exceed the sum of its retained net income for the year to date combined with its retained net income for the previous two years. The amount of dividends the Bank may pay may also be limited by certain covenant agreements and by the principles of prudent bank management. See Part II, Item 5, Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities for further discussion of dividend limitations.
 
Monetary Policy and Economic Control — The commercial banking business in which we engage is affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. Changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowing, availability of borrowing at the "discount window," open market operations, the imposition of changes in reserve requirements against member banks deposits and assets of foreign branches, and the imposition of, and changes in, reserve requirements against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates are some of the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve. These monetary policies are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distributions of bank loans, investments, and deposits, and such use may affect interest rates charged on loans and leases or paid on deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks and are expected to do so in the future. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve are influenced by various factors, including inflation, unemployment, short-term and long-term changes in the international trade balance, and in the fiscal policies of the U.S. Government. Future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on our future business and earnings, and the effect on the future business and earnings of the Bank cannot be predicted.
 
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 — On July 30, 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOA) was signed into law. The SOA's stated goals include enhancing corporate responsibility, increasing penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies and protecting investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to the securities laws. The SOA generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act.)
 
Among other things, the SOA creates the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board as an independent body subject to SEC supervision with responsibility for setting auditing, quality control, and ethical standards for auditors of public companies. The SOA also requires public companies to make faster and more-extensive financial disclosures, requires the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of public companies to provide signed certifications as to the accuracy and completeness of financial information filed with the SEC, and provides enhanced criminal and civil penalties for violations of the Federal securities laws.
 
-6-

 
The SOA also addresses functions and responsibilities of audit committees of public companies.  The statute, by mandating certain stock exchange listing rules, makes the audit committee directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the company's outside auditor, and requires the auditor to report directly to the audit committee. The SOA authorizes each audit committee to engage independent counsel and other advisors, and requires a public company to provide the appropriate funding, as determined by its audit committee, to pay the company's auditors and any advisors that its audit committee retains. The SOA also requires public companies to prepare an internal control report and assessment by management, along with an attestation to this report prepared by the company's registered public accounting firm, in their annual reports to stockholders.
 
Pending Legislation — Because of concerns relating to competitiveness and the safety and soundness of the banking industry, Congress often considers a number of wide-ranging proposals for altering the structure, regulation, and competitive relationships of the nation’s financial institutions. We cannot predict whether or in what form any proposals will be adopted or the extent to which our business may be affected thereby.
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors.
 

An investment in our common stock is subject to risks inherent to our business. The material risks and uncertainties that we believe affect us are described below. See “Forward Looking Statements” under Item 7 of this report for a discussion of other important factors that can affect our business.

Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce our profitability and affect the value of our assets — Like other financial institutions, we are subject to interest rate risk. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases and investments, and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. We expect that we will periodically experience imbalances in the interest rate sensitivities of our assets and liabilities and the relationships of various interest rates to each other. Over any defined period of time, our interest-earning assets may be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-bearing liabilities, or vice-versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying our loan and lease and deposit products may not change to the same degree over a given time period. In any event, if market interest rates should move contrary to our position, earnings may be negatively affected.  In addition, loan and lease volume and quality and deposit volume and mix can be affected by market interest rates as can the businesses of our clients. Changes in levels of market interest rates could have a material adverse affect on our net interest spread, asset quality, origination volume, and overall profitability.
 
Market interest rates are beyond our control, and they fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, may negatively affect our ability to originate loans and leases, the value of our assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of our assets, all of which ultimately could affect our earnings.

Future expansion involves risks — In the future, we may acquire all or part of other financial institutions and we may establish de novo branch offices. There could be considerable costs involved in executing our growth strategy. For instance, new branches generally require a period of time to generate sufficient revenues to offset their costs, especially in areas in which we do not have an established presence. Accordingly, any new branch expansion could be expected to negatively impact earnings for some period of time until the branch reaches certain economies of scale. Acquisitions and mergers involve a number of risks, including the risk that:
·  
We may incur substantial costs identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and merger partners, or in evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local managers, and opening new offices;
·  
Our estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management, and market risks relating to target institutions may not be accurate;
·  
There may be substantial lag-time between completing an acquisition or opening a new office and generating sufficient assets and deposits to support costs of the expansion;
·  
We may not be able to finance an acquisition, or the financing we obtain may have an adverse effect on our operating results or dilution of our existing shareholders;
·  
The attention of our management in negotiating a transaction and integrating the operations and personnel of the combining businesses may be diverted from our existing business;
·  
Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market values and; therefore, some dilution of our tangible book value and net income per common share may occur in connection with any future transaction;
·  
We may enter new markets where we lack local experience;
·  
We may incur goodwill in connection with an acquisition, or the goodwill we incur may become impaired, which results in adverse short-term effects on our operating results; or
·  
We may lose key employees and clients.

Competition from other financial services providers could adversely impact our results of operations — The banking and financial services business is highly competitive. We face competition in making loans and leases, attracting deposits and providing insurance, investment, trust, and other financial services. Increased competition in the banking and financial services businesses may reduce our market share, impair our growth or cause the prices we charge for our services to decline. Our results of operations may be adversely impacted in future periods depending upon the level and nature of competition we encounter in our various market areas.

We are dependent upon the services of our management team — Our future success and profitability is substantially dependent upon our management and the banking abilities of our senior executives. We believe that our future results will also depend in part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified management. We are especially dependent on a limited number of key management personnel, many of whom do not have employment agreements with us. The loss of the chief executive officer and other senior management and key personnel could have a material adverse impact on our operations because other officers may not have the experience and expertise to readily replace these individuals. Many of these senior officers have primary contact with our clients and are important in maintaining personalized relationships with our client base. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations and possibly result in reduced revenues if we were unable to find suitable replacements promptly. Competition for senior personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Changes in key personnel and their responsibilities may be disruptive to our businesses and could have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition, and results of operations.

Technology security breaches and constant technological change — Any compromise of our security also could deter our clients from using our internet
-7-

 
banking services that involve the transmission of confidential information. We rely on standard internet security systems to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of data. These precautions may not protect our systems from compromises or breaches of our security measures that could result in damage to our reputation and business.
 
The financial services industry is constantly undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better service clients and reduce costs. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our clients by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy client demands, as well as create additional efficiencies within our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our clients. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We are subject to credit risks relating to our loan and lease portfolios — We have certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to optimize loan and lease income within an acceptable level of risk. Our management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing our management with frequent reports related to loan and lease production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan and lease delinquencies, and nonperforming and potential problem loans and leases. Diversification in the loan and lease portfolios is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations and economic conditions.
 
We maintain an independent loan review department that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews are presented to our management. The loan and lease review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as our policies and procedures.
 
In the financial services industry, there is always a risk that certain borrowers may not repay borrowings. Our reserve for loan and lease losses may not be sufficient to cover the loan and lease losses that we may actually incur. If we experience defaults by borrowers in any of our businesses, our earnings could be negatively affected. Changes in local economic conditions could adversely affect credit quality, particularly in our local business loan and lease portfolio. Changes in national economic conditions could also adversely affect the quality of our loan and lease portfolio and negate, to some extent, the benefits of national diversification through our Specialty Finance Group’s portfolio.
 
Commercial and commercial real estate loans generally involve higher credit risks than residential real estate and consumer loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate or equipment are often dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying assets, repayment of such loans may be influenced to a great extent by conditions in the market or the economy. We seek to minimize these risks through our underwriting standards. We obtain financial information and perform credit risk analysis on our customers. Credit criteria may include, but are not limited to, assessments of income, cash flows, and net worth; asset ownership; bank and trade credit reference; credit bureau report; and operational history.
 
Commercial real estate or equipment loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower's ability to operate profitably and generate positive cash flows. Our management examines current and projected cash flows of the borrower to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Underwriting standards are designed to promote relationship banking rather than transactional banking. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets; however, some loans may be made on an unsecured basis. Our credit policy sets different maximum exposure limits both by business sector and our current and historical relationship and previous experience with each customer.
 
We offer both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate consumer mortgage loans secured by properties, substantially all of which are located in our primary market area. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans help reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates; however, during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase as a result of repricing and the increased payments required from the borrower. Additionally, most residential mortgages are sold into the secondary market and serviced by our principal banking subsidiary, 1st Source Bank.
 
Consumer loans are primarily all other non-real estate loans to individuals in our regional market area. Consumer loans can entail risk, particularly in the case of loans that are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets. In these cases, any repossessed collateral may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower beyond obtaining a deficiency judgment. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy.
 
The 1st Source Specialty Finance Group loan and lease portfolio consists of commercial loans and leases secured by construction and transportation equipment, including aircraft, autos, trucks, and vans. Finance receivables for this Group generally provide for monthly payments and may include prepayment penalty provisions.
 
Our construction and transportation related businesses could be adversely affected by slow downs in the economy. Clients who rely on the use of assets financed through the Specialty Finance Group to produce income could be negatively affected, and we could experience substantial loan and lease losses. By the nature of the businesses these clients operate in, we could be adversely affected by continued rapid increases of fuel costs. Since some of the relationships in these industries are large (up to $25 million), a slow down could have a significant adverse impact on our performance.
 
Our construction and transportation related businesses could be adversely impacted by the negative effects caused by high fuel costs, terrorist and other potential attacks, and other destabilizing events. These factors could contribute to the deterioration of the quality of our loan and lease portfolio, as they could have a negative impact on the travel sensitive businesses for which our specialty finance businesses provide financing.
 
In addition, our leasing and equipment financing activity is subject to the risk of cyclical downturns, industry concentration and clumping, and other adverse economic developments affecting these industries and markets. This area of lending, with transportation in particular, is dependent upon general economic conditions and the strength of the travel, construction, and transportation industries.
 
The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us — Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks, and other institutional clients. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of a default by our counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by us cannot be realized or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to recover the full amount of the credit or derivative exposure due us. Any such losses could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Economic conditions and current levels of market volatility are unprecedented — We are impacted by general business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance, unemployment, and the strength of the U.S. economy and the local economies in which we operate, all of which are beyond our control. A deterioration in economic conditions could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values and a decrease in demand for our products and services.
 
The capital and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than 12 months. The volatility and disruption have reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have exerted downward pressure on stock prices, security prices and credit capacity for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. If the current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that we will not experience adverse effects, which may be material, on our ability to access capital and on our results of operations.
 
We are subject to extensive government regulation and supervision — Our operations are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors' funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not security holders. These regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for possible change. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulation or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs and limit the types of financial services and products we may offer. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur.
 
Reliance on dividends from our subsidiaries — Our parent company, 1st Source Corporation, receives substantially all of its revenue from dividends from our subsidiaries. These dividends are the principal source of funds to pay dividends on our common stock and interest and principal on our debt. Various federal and/or state laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that our subsidiaries may pay to our parent company. In the event our subsidiaries are unable to pay dividends to our parent company, we may not be able to service debt, pay obligations or pay dividends on our common stock. The inability to receive dividends from our subsidiaries could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Changes in accounting standards could impact reported earnings — Current accounting and tax rules, standards, policies and interpretations influence the methods by which financial institutions conduct business, implement strategic initiatives and tax compliance, and govern financial reporting and disclosures. These laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies and interpretations are constantly evolving and may change significantly over time. Events that may not have a direct impact on us, such as bankruptcy of major U.S. companies, have resulted in legislators, regulators, and authoritative bodies, such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and various taxing authorities, responding by adopting and/or proposing substantive revision to laws, regulations, rules, standards, policies and interpretations. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in the future. A change in accounting standards may adversely affect reported financial condition and results of operations.
 
Impact of recently enacted legislation and our participation in the programs — The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the "EESA") is intended to stabilize and provide liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. There can be no assurance, however, as to the actual impact that the EESA and its regulations and other governmental programs will have on the financial markets. The failure of the financial markets to stabilize and a continuation or worsening of current financial market conditions could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The programs established or to be established under the EESA and Troubled Asset Relief Program may have adverse effects on us. We may face increased regulation of our industry.  Compliance with such regulation may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities.
 
Our participation in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program may adversely affect the value of our common stock and the rights of our common shareholders The terms of the preferred stock we issued under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program could reduce investment returns to our common shareholders by restricting dividends, diluting existing shareholders’ ownership interests, and restricting capital management practices. Without the prior consent of the Treasury, we will be prohibited from increasing our common stock dividends for the first three years while the Treasury holds the preferred stock.
 
Also, the preferred stock requires quarterly dividends to be paid at the rate of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% per annum thereafter until the stock is redeemed by us. The payments of these dividends will decrease the excess cash we otherwise have available to pay dividends on our common stock and to use for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
 
Finally, we will be prohibited from continuing to pay dividends on our common stock unless we have fully paid all required dividends on the preferred stock issued to the Treasury. Although we fully expect to be able to pay all required dividends on the preferred stock (and to continue to pay dividends on our common stock at current levels), there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so in the future.
 
Our deposit insurance premiums could be substantially higher in the future which will have an adverse effect on our future earnings Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the FDIC, absent extraordinary circumstances, must establish and implement a plan to restore the deposit insurance reserve ratio to 1.15% of insured deposits, over a five-year period, at any time that the reserve ratio falls below 1.15%. The recent failures of a large financial institution and several smaller ones have significantly increased the Deposit Insurance Fund’s loss provisions, resulting in a decline in the reserve ratio to 1.01% as of June 30, 2008, 18 basis points below the reserve ratio as of March 31, 2008. The FDIC expects a higher rate of insured institution failures in the next few years, which may result in a continued decline in the reserve ratio.
 
On October 7, 2008, the FDIC released a five-year recapitalization plan and a proposal to raise premiums to recapitalize the fund. In order to implement the restoration plan, the FDIC proposed to change both its risk-based assessment system and its base assessment rates. Assessment rates would increase by seven basis points across the range of risk weightings. In December 2008, the FDIC adopted its rule, uniformly increasing the risk-based assessment rates by seven basis points, annually, resulting in a range of risk-based assessment of 12 basis points to 50 basis points. Changes to the risk-based assessment system would include increasing premiums for institutions that rely on excessive amounts of brokered deposits, increasing premiums for excessive use of secured liabilities, and lowering premiums for smaller institutions with very high capital levels.
 
As a member institution of the FDIC, we are required to pay quarterly deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC. Due to the continued failures of unaffiliated FDIC insured depository institutions, we anticipate that our FDIC deposit insurance premiums will increase in the future, perhaps significantly, which will adversely impact our future earnings.

Item 2.  Properties.
 
Our headquarters building is located in downtown South Bend. In 1982, the land was leased from the City of South Bend on a 49-year lease, with a 50-year renewal option. The building is part of a larger complex, including a 300-room hotel and a 500-car parking garage. Also, in 1982, we sold the building and entered into a leaseback agreement with the purchaser for a term of 30 years. The building is a structure of approximately 160,000 square feet, with 1st Source and our subsidiaries occupying approximately 65% of the available office space and approximately 35% subleased to unrelated tenants.
 
At December 31, 2008, we also owned property and/or buildings on which 55 of the 1st Source Bank's 79 banking centers were located, including the facilities in Allen, Elkhart, Fulton, Huntington, Kosciusko, LaPorte, Marshall, Porter, St. Joseph, Starke, and Wells Counties in the State of Indiana and Berrien and Cass Counties in the State of Michigan, as well as an operations center, training facility, warehouse, and our former headquarters building, which is utilized for additional business operations. The Bank leases additional property and/or buildings to and from third parties under lease agreements negotiated at arms-length.
 
Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.
 
1st Source and our subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our businesses. Our management does not expect that the outcome of any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
The purpose of this analysis is to provide the reader with information relevant to understanding and assessing our results of operations for each of the past three years and financial condition for each of the past two years. In order to fully appreciate this analysis the reader is encouraged to review the consolidated financial statements and statistical data presented in this document.
 
Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates, intentions, and future performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. Words such as “believe”, “contemplate”, “seek”, “estimate”, “plan”, “project”, “anticipate”, “possible”, “assume”, “expect”, “intend”, “targeted”, “continue”, “remain”, “will”, “should”, “indicate”, “would”, “may” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

All written or oral forward-looking statements that are made by or attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice. We have no obligation and do not undertake to update, revise, or correct any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report, or after the respective dates on which such statements otherwise are made. We have expressed our expectations, beliefs, and projections in good faith and we believe they have a reasonable basis. However, we make no assurances that our expectations, beliefs, or projections will be achieved or accomplished. These forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the following:

·

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. Application of these principles requires our management to make estimates or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates or judgments reflect our management’s view of the most appropriate manner in which to record and report our overall financial performance. Because these estimates or judgments are based on current circumstances, they may change over time or prove to be inaccurate based on actual experience. As such, changes in these estimates, judgments, and/or assumptions may have a significant impact on our financial statements. All accounting policies are important, and all policies described in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note A (Note A), should be reviewed for a greater understanding of how our financial performance is recorded and reported.
 
We have identified three policies as being critical because they require our management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex estimates or judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies relate to the determination of the reserve for loan and lease losses, the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, and the valuation of securities. Our management has used the best information available to make the estimations or judgments necessary to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from estimates or judgments and future changes in the key variables could change future valuations and impact net income. Our management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  Following is a discussion of the areas we view as our most critical accounting policies.
 
Reserve for Loan and Lease LossesThe reserve for loan and lease losses represents our management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio and the establishment of a reserve that is sufficient to absorb those losses. In determining an adequate reserve, our management makes numerous judgments, assumptions, and estimates based on continuous review of the loan and lease portfolio, estimates of client performance, collateral values, and disposition, as well as historical loss rates and expected cash flows. In assessing these factors, our management benefits from a lengthy organizational history and experience with credit decisions and related outcomes. Nonetheless, if our management’s underlying assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the reserve for loan and lease losses would have to be adjusted. Our accounting policy related to the reserve is disclosed in Note A under the heading "Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses."
 
Fair Value Measurements: — We use fair value measurements to record certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Available-for-sale securities, mortgage loans held for sale, and interest rate swap agreements are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally,
 
-12-

 
from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of, or specific reserves against, individual assets. SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used in the measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-driven or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data.
 
The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market data. For financial instruments that trade actively and have quoted market prices or observable market data, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. When observable market prices and data are not fully available, management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value. In addition, changes in the market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. Therefore, when market data is not available, we use valuation techniques that require more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value measurement. Fair value is discussed further in Note A under the heading "Fair Value Measurements" and in Note S, "Fair Values of Financial Instruments."
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights Valuation — We recognize as assets the rights to service mortgage loans for others, known as mortgage servicing rights, whether the servicing rights are acquired through purchases or through originated loans. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active open market with readily observable market prices. Although sales of mortgage servicing rights do occur, the precise terms and conditions may not be readily available. As such, the value of mortgage servicing assets are established and valued using discounted cash flow modeling techniques which require management to make estimates regarding estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors. The expected rates of mortgage loan prepayments are the most significant factors driving the value of mortgage servicing assets. Increases in mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced. In determining the fair value of the mortgage servicing assets, mortgage interest rates (which are used to determine prepayment rates), and discount rates are held constant over the estimated life of the portfolio. Expected mortgage loan prepayment rates are derived from a third-party model and adjusted to reflect our actual prepayment experience. Mortgage servicing assets are carried at the lower of the initial capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or fair value. The values of these assets are sensitive to changes in the assumptions used and readily available market pricing does not exist. The valuation of mortgage servicing assets is discussed further in Note A under the heading "Mortgage Banking Activities."
 
Recent Market Developments
 
The global and U.S. economies are experiencing significantly reduced business activity as a result of, among other factors, disruptions in the financial system during the past year. Dramatic declines in the housing market during the past year, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks. These write-downs, initially of residential-related loans and mortgage-backed securities, but spreading to credit default swaps and other derivative securities, have caused many financial institutions to seek additional capital, to merge with larger and stronger institutions and, in some cases, to fail.
 
Reflecting concern about the stability of the financial markets generally and the strength of counterparties, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced, and in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers, including other financial institutions. The availability of credit, confidence in the financial sector, and level of volatility in the financial markets have been significantly adversely affected as a result. In recent months, volatility and disruption in the capital and credit markets have reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit capacity for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength.
 
In response to the financial crises affecting the banking system and financial markets and going concern threats to investment banks and other financial institutions, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA") was signed into law on October 3, 2008. The EESA authorizes the Treasury to, among other things, purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets. The EESA also provided a temporary increase in deposit insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 per insured account until December 31, 2009.
 
On October 14, 2008, Secretary Paulson, after consulting with the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, announced that the Treasury will purchase equity stakes in certain banks and thrifts. Under this program, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the "TARP Capital Purchase Program"), the Treasury will make $250 billion of capital available to U.S. financial institutions in the form of preferred stock (from the $700 billion authorized by the EESA). In conjunction with the purchase of preferred stock, the Treasury will receive warrants to purchase common stock with an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the preferred investment. Participating financial institutions will be required to adopt the Treasury’s standards for executive compensation and corporate governance for the period during which the Treasury holds equity issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Program.
 
Also on October 14, 2008, after receiving a recommendation from the boards of the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, and consulting with the President, Secretary Paulson signed the systemic risk exception to the FDIC Act, enabling the FDIC to temporarily provide a 100% guarantee of the senior unsecured debt of all FDIC-insured institutions and their holding companies, as well as deposits in noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts under a Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program through December 31, 2009. All insured depository institutions automatically participated in the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program for 30 days following the announcement of the program without charge (subsequently extended to December 5, 2008) and thereafter, unless an institution opted out, at a cost of 75 basis points per annum for senior unsecured debt and 10 basis points per annum for noninterest-bearing transaction deposits.
 
1st Source elected to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program, and on January 23, 2009 received $111.00 million in additional capital through the program. In exchange, the Treasury received a like amount of 1st Source Corporation preferred stock that pays an annual dividend of 5.00 percent for the first five years, and an annual dividend of 9.00 percent in any years thereafter. We may redeem the preferred shares issued to Treasury in full during the first three years following issuance only with the proceeds of a qualifying equity offering. Thereafter, the preferred shares may be redeemed in full or in part at any time. We also issued a warrant to the Treasury to purchase 837,947 shares of 1st Source common stock, which, upon issuance, would represent approximately 3.3 percent of our outstanding common shares, based upon current information. The warrant is exercisable at any time during the ten-year period following issuance at an exercise price of $19.87.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), which was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009, provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall permit a recipient of funds under the Troubled Assets Relief Program, subject to consultation with the recipient’s appropriate Federal banking agency, to repay such assistance without regard to whether the recipient has replaced such funds from any other source or to any waiting period. ARRA further provides that when the recipient repays such assistance, the Secretary of the Treasury shall liquidate the warrants associated with the assistance at the current market price. While Treasury has not yet issued implementing regulations, it appears that ARRA will permit 1st Source, if it so elects and following consultation with the FRB, to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time without restriction.
 
Additionally, 1st Source has decided to continue to participate in the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program following the expiration of the initial opt-out period. Our participation includes both the Transaction Account Guarantee Program related to the guarantee of noninterest bearing deposit accounts and eligible, low earning NOW accounts (interest rate equal to or less than 0.50%) and the Debt Guarantee Program related to the guarantee of applicable senior unsecured debt.

It is not clear at this time what impact the EESA, the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, or other liquidity and funding initiatives will have on the financial markets and the other difficulties described above, including the high levels of volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced, or on the U.S. banking and financial industries and the broader U.S. global economies. Further adverse effects could have an adverse effect on our business.
 
Earnings Summary
 
Net income in 2008 was $33.39 million, up from $30.54 million in 2007 and down from $39.30 million in 2006. Diluted net income per common share was in $1.37 in 2008, $1.28 in 2007, and $1.72 in 2006. Return on average total assets was 0.76% in 2008 compared to 0.74% in 2007, and 1.11% in 2006. Return on average common shareholders' equity was 7.52% in 2008 versus 7.47% in 2007, and 10.98%  in 2006.
 
Net income in 2008 was favorably impacted by an 11.14% increase in net interest income over 2007, an $11.49 million gain on the sale of certain assets of Investment Advisors and increased noninterest income. These increases were offset by increased provision for loan and lease losses, investment securities impairment and increased noninterest expenses. Net income in 2007 was favorably affected by an 11.72% increase in net interest income over 2006. However, this increase was more than offset by an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses, decreased mortgage banking income, investment securities impairment and increased noninterest expenses.
 
Dividends paid on common stock in 2008 amounted to $0.58 per share, compared to $0.56 per share in 2007, and $0.534 per share in 2006. The level of earnings reinvested and dividend payouts are based on management’s assessment of future growth opportunities and the level of capital necessary to support them.
 
Acquisition of First National Bank, ValparaisoOn May 31, 2007, we acquired FINA Bancorp (FINA), the parent company of First National Bank, Valparaiso for $134.19 million. First National was a full service bank with 16 banking facilities, as of December 31, 2007, located in Porter and LaPorte Counties of Indiana. Pursuant to the definitive agreement, FINA shareholders were able to choose whether to receive 1st Source common stock and/or cash pursuant to the election procedures described in the definitive agreement. Under the terms of the transaction, FINA was acquired in exchange for 2,124,974 shares of 1st Source common stock valued at $53.68 million and $80.51 million in cash. The value of the common stock was $25.26 per share. We believe that the purchase of FINA is a natural extension of our service area and is consistent with our growth and market expansion initiatives. On June 6, 2008, First National was merged with 1st Source Bank.
 
Upgrade of Core Systems — During 2007, we upgraded a majority of our core and ancillary data processing systems. Numerous internal teams were formed to manage the installation and conversion of data and various systems. The core technology includes a loan system, deposit system, general ledger system, and customer information file system. Additionally, ATM networks, a voice response unit (VRU) system, and document imaging systems were installed.  Total 2007 expenses for this upgrade were $2.71 million.
 
Net Interest Income — Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between income on earning assets and the cost of funds supporting those assets. Significant categories of earning assets are loans and securities while deposits and borrowings represent the major portion of interest-bearing liabilities. For purposes of the following discussion, comparison of net interest income is done on a tax equivalent basis, which provides a common basis for comparing yields on earning assets exempt from federal income taxes to those which are fully taxable.
 
Net interest margin (the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets) is affected by movements in interest rates and changes in the mix of earning assets and the liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.34% in 2008 compared to 3.18% in 2007, and 3.29% in 2006. The higher margin in 2008 reflects lower funding costs compared with the decline in yields on earning assets. Net interest income was $132.16 million for 2008, compared to $118.91 million for 2007. Tax-equivalent net interest income totaled $135.75 million for 2008, an increase of $13.22 million from the $122.53 million reported for 2007. The $13.22 million increase is mainly due to changes in rates.
 
During 2008, average earning assets increased $215.89 million while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $194.30 million over the comparable period. The yield on average earning assets decreased 81 basis points to 5.87% for 2008 from 6.68% for 2007. The rate earned on assets was negatively impacted by decreases in market rates. Total cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 112 basis points during 2008 as liabilities were also impacted by decreases in market rates. The result was an increase of 31 basis points to net interest spread, or the difference between interest income on earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
 
The largest contributor to the decrease in the yield on average earning assets in 2008 was the 97 basis point decrease in the loan and lease portfolio yield. The decrease in the loan and lease portfolio yield was offset by an increase in net loan and lease outstandings. Average net loans and leases increased $270.74 million or 9.05% in 2008 from 2007.
 
During 2008, the tax-equivalent yield on securities available for sale decreased 28 basis points to 4.60% while the average balance decreased $22.99 million.
 
Average interest-bearing deposits increased $78.07 million during 2008 while the effective rate paid on those deposits decreased 104 basis points. Average demand deposits increased $26.39 million during 2008.
 
Average short-term borrowings increased $115.47 million during 2008; however, the effective rate paid decreased 206 basis points. Average subordinated notes which represent our trust preferred borrowings increased $8.55 million during 2008, while the effective rate increased four basis points. Average long-term debt decreased $7.79 million during 2008 as the effective rate decreased 57 basis points.
 
The following table provides an analysis of net interest income and illustrates interest income earned and interest expense charged for each major component of interest earning assets and the interest bearing liabilities. Yields/rates are computed on a tax-equivalent basis, using a 35% rate. Nonaccrual loans and leases are included in the average loan and lease balance outstanding.

Trust fees (which include investment management fees, estate administration fees, mutual fund fees, annuity fees, and fiduciary fees) increased by 19.48% in 2008 from 2007 compared to an increase of 12.76% in 2007 over 2006. Trust fees are largely based on the size of client relationships and the market value and mix of assets under management. The market value of trust assets under management at December 31, 2008 and 2007, was $2.65 billion and $3.05 billion, respectively. At December 31, 2008, these trust assets were comprised of $1.59 billion of personal and agency trusts, $0.64 billion of employee benefit plan assets, $314.02 million of estate administration assets and individual retirement accounts, and $98.05 million of custody assets. Growth in trust fees was mainly attributed to an increase in revenue sharing fees earned on the Monogram mutual funds sold outside the Bank and administered by the Investment Advisors subsidiary.
 
Service charges on deposit accounts increased 7.65% in 2008 from 2007 compared to an increase of 7.51% in 2007 from 2006. The growth in service charges on deposit accounts reflects growth in the number of deposit accounts due to the May 2007 acquisition of First National and a higher volume of fee generating transactions, primarily overdrafts, debit card and nonsufficient funds transactions.
 
Mortgage banking income increased 4.39% in 2008 over 2007, compared to a decrease of 75.35% in 2007 over 2006. In 2008, increased gains on mortgage loan sales were offset by $1.91 million in mortgage servicing rights impairment. The decrease in 2007 was primarily due to a decline in production volume, non-recurring 2006 gains on the sale of mortgage servicing rights and a decline in loan servicing fee income. In 2006, we recognized $4.75 million in pre-tax gains on bulk sales of mortgage servicing rights related to both governmental and conventional loans that occurred during the second and third quarters. During 2008, 2007 and 2006, we determined that no permanent write-down was necessary for previously recorded impairment on mortgage servicing assets.
 
Insurance commissions were up 14.94% in 2008 from 2007 compared to an increase of 2.01% in 2007 from 2006. The increase for 2008 and 2007 was mainly attributed to an acquisition of an insurance agency in the Fort Wayne area. The increase for 2006 was mainly attributed to higher contingent commissions.
 
Equipment rental income generated from operating leases grew by 13.66% during 2008 from 2007 compared to an increase of 12.33% during 2007 from 2006. Revenues from operating leases for construction equipment, various trucks, and other equipment increased as clients responded positively to our strong marketing efforts and entered into new lease agreements.
 
On August 25, 2008, Investment Advisors entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with WA Holdings, Inc. ("Buyer") whereby Investment Advisors agreed to sell certain assets to Buyer and to enter into a long-term strategic partnership with Buyer. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, in December 2008, Buyer and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wasatch Advisors, Inc., investment advisor of the Wasatch Funds, Inc., acquired assets of Investment Advisors related to the management of the 1st Source Monogram Mutual Funds - the Income Equity Fund, the Long/Short Fund and the Income Fund. The 1st Source Monogram Mutual Funds were reorganized into the Wasatch - 1st Source Income Equity Fund, the Wasatch - 1st Source Long/Short Fund, and the Wasatch - 1st Source Income Fund. Investment Advisors recorded a net gain of $11.49 million at closing, which was net of $1.51 million of legal and compensation expense.
 
Investment securities and other investment losses totaled $10.00 million for the year ended 2008 compared to losses of $3.13 million for the year ended 2007 and gains of $2.00 million for the year ended 2006. In 2008 and 2007, we took $10.82 million and $4.11 million, respectively,  in impairment charges on investments in the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) preferred stock and other preferred equities. In 2008, deterioration in the residential mortgage business and government intervention at the FNMA and the FHLMC resulted in further impairment of the FNMA and the FHLMC securities. Due to the uncertainty of future market conditions and how they might impact the financial performance of the FNMA and the FHLMC, we were unable to determine when or if this impairment will be recovered. As of December 31, 2008, the carrying value of our investment in the FHLMC preferred stock was $0.13 million and the carrying value of our investment in the FNMA preferred stock was $0.03 million. Favorable market valuation adjustments on our venture partnership investments during 2006 were the main factor contributing to the 2006 gains.
 
Other income remained relatively stable in 2008 from 2007 after an increase of 35.25% in 2007 compared to 2006. The increase in 2007 was primarily due to increases in interest rate swap fee income, credit card merchant fees, and income on bank owned life insurance policies.
 
Noninterest Expense — Noninterest expense increased 9.12% in 2008 over 2007 following an 11.17% increase in 2007 from 2006. Noninterest expense for the recent three years ended December 31 was as follows:

Total salaries and employee benefits increased 4.09% in 2008 from 2007, following an 11.02% increase in 2007 from 2006.
 
Employee salaries increased 3.69% in 2008 from 2007 compared to an increase of 13.25% in 2007 from 2006. The increase in 2008 is due to a full year of First National staff and a decline in salaries deferred relating to the origination of loans (SFAS 91). The increase in 2007 is mainly attributable to a larger work force following the acquisition of First National and lower 2006 salaries due to the first quarter 2006 reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense under historical accounting methods related to the estimated forfeiture of stock awards. This one-time expense reversal, combined with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, (SFAS No. 123(R)) estimated forfeiture accounting requirements, resulted in a reduction in stock-based compensation of $2.07 million, pre-tax, for the 2006 year.
 
Employee benefits increased 5.74% in 2008 from 2007 after remaining relatively stable in 2007 and 2006. The increase in 2008 was primarily due to increased group insurance costs.
 
Occupancy expense increased 7.40% in 2008 from 2007, compared to an increase of 20.53% in 2007 from 2006. The increase in 2008 and 2007 was primarily due to the increase in number of locations following the acquisition of First National.
 
Furniture and equipment expense, including depreciation, declined slightly in 2008 from 2007 compared to a 22.97% increase in 2007 from 2006. During 2008 increased computer processing charges offset declines in repairs and depreciation. During 2007, higher software costs, which were mostly related to implementation of upgrades to our core accounting and management systems, and higher debit card transaction expense were the significant factors contributing to the increase.
 
Depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases increased 13.84% in 2008 from 2007, following a 14.22% increase in 2007 from 2006. In 2008 and in 2007, depreciation on equipment owned under operating leases increased in conjunction with the increase in equipment rental income as some of our clients opted to enter into new lease arrangements rather than purchase equipment.
 
Professional fees increased 84.61% in 2008 from 2007, compared to a 14.43% increase in 2007 from 2006. The increase in 2008 was due to expenses recorded for a systems security breach that occurred in May 2008 and other consulting expenses. The majority of the increase in 2007 was due to higher consulting fees paid in conjunction with our core system upgrade.
 
Supplies and communications expense increased 13.28% in 2008 from 2007 after an 8.93% increase in 2007 as compared to 2006. The increase in 2008 was due to increased printing cost, freight expense and data line expense. The increase in 2007 was due to increased telephone and data line expense and increased freight expense.
 
Business development and marketing expense decreased 21.70% in 2008 from 2007 compared to a 19.46% increase in 2007 from 2006. The decrease in 2008 was due to reduced retail marketing expenses. The increase in 2007 was mainly due to strong marketing across our entire footprint area.
 
Intangible asset amortization increased 59.38% in 2008 from 2007 compared to a 54.24% decrease in 2007 from 2006. The increase in intangible asset amortization for 2008 was due to the amortization of intangibles related to the First National acquisition. The decrease in intangible asset amortization for 2007 was primarily due to the effects of the complete amortization of assets associated with acquisitions which occurred during 2001.
 
Loan and lease collection and repossession expenses remained stable in 2008 from 2007 compared to a 59.52% increase in 2007 from 2006. The increase in 2007 was mainly due to increased collection and repossession legal activity.
 
Other expenses increased 33.67% in 2008 as compared to 2007 following a decrease of 11.04% in 2007 from 2006. Increased FDIC insurance expense, correspondent bank fees, and write-downs of former bank premises held for sale attributed to the 2008 increase.
 
Income Taxes — 1st Source recognized income tax expense in 2008 of $13.02 million, compared to $11.14 million in 2007, and $20.25 million in 2006. The effective tax rate in 2008 was 28.05% compared to 26.74% in 2007, and 34.00% in 2006. The effective tax rate increased in 2008 compared to 2007 due to a decrease in tax-exempt interest in relation to income before taxes as well as an increase in state tax expense. For detailed analysis of 1st Source’s income taxes see Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note O of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

At December 31, 2008, 12.3% of total loans and leases were concentrated with construction end users.
         
 
Average loans and leases, net of unearned discount, increased 9.05% and 16.61% in 2008 and 2007, respectively. Loans and leases, net of unearned discount, at December 31, 2008, were $3.30 billion and were 73.88% of total assets, compared to $3.19 billion and 71.76% of total assets at December 31, 2007.
 
Commercial and agricultural lending, excluding those loans secured by real estate, increased 8.36% in 2008 over 2007. Commercial and agricultural lending outstandings were $643.44 million and $593.81 million at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. This increase was mainly due to growth in our newer markets and strong business activity during the first half of 2008. Agricultural loan outstandings benefited from a robust market coupled with increased working capital needs attributed to higher commodity prices.
 
Loans secured by real estate increased 4.21% during 2008 over 2007. Loans secured by real estate outstanding at December 31, 2008, were $918.75 million

and $881.65 million at December 31, 2007. Loans on commercial real estate, the majority of which is owner occupied, were $621.08 million at December 31, 2008 and $530.45 million at December 31, 2007. The increase was mostly due to growth in our newer markets and strong business activity during the first half of 2008. Residential mortgage lending was $344.36 million at December 31, 2008 and $351.20 million at December 31, 2007.
 
Auto, light truck, and environmental equipment financing increased 15.92% in 2008 over 2007. At December 31, 2008, auto, light truck, and environmental equipment financing had outstandings of $353.84 million and $305.24 million at December 31, 2007. Environmental equipment financing remained flat in 2008. Auto and light truck financing increased 24.00% at December 31, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007, mainly due to the elimination of our program with Vehicle Services of America which caused letters of credit to be funded, and to our competition leaving the market.
 
Medium and heavy duty truck loans and leases decreased 19.00%, in 2008. Medium and heavy duty truck financing at December 31, 2008 and 2007, had outstandings of $243.38 million and $300.47 million, respectively. Most of the decrease at December 31, 2008 from December 31, 2007 can be attributed to a reduced need for funding as clients downsized.
 
Aircraft financing at year-end 2008 increased 7.68% from year-end 2007. Aircraft financing at December 31, 2008 and 2007, had outstandings of $632.12 million and $587.02 million, respectively. The increase in 2008 was primarily due to focused sales efforts and a reduction in competition.
 
Construction equipment financing remained relatively stable in 2008 compared to 2007. Construction equipment financing at December 31, 2008, had outstandings of $375.98 million, compared to outstandings of $377.79 million at December 31, 2007.
 
Consumer loans decreased 10.15% in 2008 over 2007. Consumer loans outstanding at December 31, 2008, were $130.71 million and $145.48 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease during 2008 was due to the economic slow down caused an increase in the unemployment rates in our primary markets, thereby decreasing the number of credit worthy customers.
 
The following table shows the maturities of loans and leases in the categories of commercial and agriculture, auto, light truck and environmental equipment, medium and heavy duty truck, aircraft and construction equipment outstanding as of December 31, 2008.

Credit Experience
 
Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses — Our reserve for loan and lease losses is provided for by direct charges to operations. Losses on loans and leases are charged against the reserve and likewise, recoveries during the period for prior losses are credited to the reserve. Our management evaluates the adequacy of the reserve quarterly, reviewing all loans and leases over a fixed-dollar amount ($100,000) where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification, actual and anticipated loss experience, current economic events in specific industries, and other pertinent factors including general economic conditions. Determination of the reserve is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows or fair value of collateral on collateral-dependent impaired loans and leases, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans and leases based on historical loss experience, and consideration of economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant and unforeseen changes. We review the status of the loan and lease portfolio to identify borrowers that might develop financial problems in order to aid borrowers in the handling of their accounts and to mitigate losses. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve for loan and lease losses.
 
The reserve for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2008 totaled $79.78 million and was 2.42% of loans and leases, compared to $66.60 million or 2.09% of loans and leases at December 31, 2007 and $58.80 million or 2.18% of loans and leases at December 31, 2006. It is our opinion that the reserve for loan and lease losses was adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of December 31, 2008.
 
The provision for loan and lease losses was $16.65 million for 2008, compared to the provision for loan and lease losses of $7.53 million for 2007 and the recovery of provision for loan and lease losses of $2.74 million for 2006. The increased provision for loan and lease losses in 2008 was due to the deterioration in the loan portfolio mainly due to the deterioration in the economy. The recovery of the provision for 2006 was due to increased loan recoveries and was consistent with our improved credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio.

The reserve for loan and lease losses has been allocated according to the amount deemed necessary to provide for the estimated probable losses that have been incurred within the categories of loans and leases set forth in the table below. The amount of such components of the reserve at December 31 and the ratio of such loan and lease categories to total outstanding loan and lease balances, are as follows (for purposes of this analysis, auto, light truck and environmental equipment and medium and heavy duty truck loans and leases have been consolidated into the category truck and automobile financing):

Nonperforming Assets — Our policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans and leases where principal or interest is past due and remains unpaid for 90 days or more, or when an individual analysis of a borrower's credit worthiness indicates a credit should be placed on nonperforming status, except for residential mortgage loans, which are placed on nonaccrual at the time the loan is placed in foreclosure and consumer loans that are both well secured and in the process of collection. Nonperforming assets amounted to $44.17 million at December 31, 2008, compared to $18.48 million at December 31, 2007, and $17.67 million at December 31, 2006. Impaired loans and leases totaled $30.94 million, $6.19 million, and $12.32 million at December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. During 2008, interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans and leases under their original terms was $1.54 million, compared to $0.98 million in 2007.
 
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2008 increased from December 31, 2007, mainly due to increases in nonaccrual loans. Nonaccrual loans increased in all categories with the largest increases coming in aircraft financing, medium and heavy duty truck loans, loans secured by real estate and commercial and agricultural loans.

At December 31, 2008, our management was not aware of any potential problem loans or leases that would have a material effect on loan and lease delinquency or loan and lease charge-offs. Loans and leases are subject to continual review and are given management’s attention whenever a problem situation appears to be developing. While we are hopeful the new President and his cabinet will be able to stabilize capital and financial markets allowing some normality to return to the economy leading to higher employment and positive impacts, we expect further deterioration in the loan and lease portfolio.
 
Investment Portfolio
 
The amortized cost of securities at year-end 2008 decreased 7.80% from 2007, following an 11.02% increase from year-end 2006 to year-end 2007. The amortized cost of securities at December 31, 2008 was $715.38 million or 16.02% of total assets, compared to $775.92 million or 17.45% of total assets at December 31, 2007. Subsequent to year-end 2008, we sold $111.00 million in preferred shares under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. To replenish the investment portfolio, we have invested the proceeds of this transaction for the time being in investment securities, which has increased our investment portfolio.

Liquidity
 
Core Deposits — Our major source of investable funds is provided by stable core deposits consisting of all interest bearing and noninterest bearing deposits, excluding brokered certificates of deposit and certain certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over. In 2008, average core deposits equaled 66.31% of average total assets, compared to 67.12% in 2007 and 63.27% in 2006. The effective cost rate of core deposits in 2008 was 2.36%, compared to 3.25% in 2007 and 2.65% in 2006.
 
Average demand deposits (noninterest bearing core deposits) increased 7.52% in 2008 compared to a decrease of 0.33% in 2007. These represented 12.93% of total core deposits in 2008, compared to 12.60% in 2007, and 15.67% in 2006.
 
Purchased Funds — We use purchased funds to supplement core deposits, which include certain certificates of deposit of $100,000 and over, brokered certificates of deposit, Federal funds, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings. Purchased funds are raised from customers seeking short-term investments and are used to manage the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity. During 2008, our reliance on purchased funds increased to 19.16% of average total assets from 18.19% in 2007.
 
Shareholders’ Equity — Average shareholders’ equity equated to 10.09% of average total assets in 2008 compared to 9.85% in 2007. Shareholders’ equity was 10.16% of total assets at year-end 2008, compared to 9.68% at year-end 2007. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," we include unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) which is a component of shareholders’ equity. While regulatory capital adequacy ratios exclude unrealized gain (loss), it does impact our equity as reported in the audited financial statements. The unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, was $5.82 million and $2.52 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our sale of preferred shares under the TARP Capital Purchase Program subsequent to year-end 2008 increased our shareholders' equity by approximately $111.00 million.
 
Liquidity Risk Management — The Bank's liquidity is monitored and closely managed by the Asset/Liability Management Committees (ALCO), whose members are comprised of the Bank's senior management. Asset and liability management includes the management of interest rate sensitivity and the maintenance of an adequate liquidity position. The purpose of interest rate sensitivity management is to stabilize net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.
 
Liquidity management is the process by which the Bank ensure that adequate liquid funds are available to meet financial commitments on a timely basis. Financial institutions must maintain liquidity to meet day-to-day requirements of depositors and borrowers, take advantage of market opportunities and provide a cushion against unforeseen needs.
 
Liquidity of the Bank is derived primarily from core deposits, principal payments received on loans, the sale and maturity of investment securities, net cash provided by operating activities, and access to other funding sources. The most stable source of liability funded liquidity is deposit growth and retention of the core deposit base. The principal source of asset-funded liquidity is available-for-sale investment securities, cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and loans and interest bearing deposits with other banks maturing within one year. Additionally, liquidity is provided by repurchase agreements, and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank.
 
Interest Rate Risk Management — ALCO monitors and manages the relationship of earning assets to interest bearing liabilities and the responsiveness of asset yields, interest expense, and interest margins to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we face ongoing interest rate risks and uncertainties. We occasionally utilize interest rate swaps to partially manage the primary market exposures associated with the interest rate risk related to underlying assets, liabilities, and anticipated transactions.
 
A hypothetical change in earnings was modeled by calculating an immediate 100 basis point (1.00%) change in interest rates across all maturities. At December 31, 2008, the aggregate hypothetical increase in pre-tax earnings was estimated to be $2.95 million on an annualized basis on all rate-sensitive financial instruments, based on a hypothetical increase of a 100 basis point change in interest rates and the aggregate hypothetical decrease in pre-tax earnings was estimated to be $9.94 million on an annualized basis on all rate-sensitive financial instruments based on a hypothetical decrease of a 100 basis point change in interest rates. At December 31, 2007, the aggregate hypothetical decrease in pre-tax earnings was estimated to be $0.44 million on an annualized basis on all rate-sensitive financial instruments, based on a hypothetical increase of a 100 basis point change in interest rates and the aggregate hypothetical increase in pre-tax earnings was estimated to be $1.37 million on an annualized basis on all rate-sensitive financial instruments based on a hypothetical decrease of a 100 basis point change in interest rates.The earnings simulation model excludes the earnings dynamics related to how fee income and noninterest expense may be affected by changees in interest ratese. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. The use of this methodology to quantify the market risk of the balance sheet should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy or the accuracy of the related assumptions. At December 31, 2008, the impact of these hypothetical fluctuations in interest rates on our derivative holdings was not significant, and, as such, separate disclosure is not presented.
 
We manage the interest rate risk related to loan commitments by entering into contracts for future delivery of loans with outside parties. See Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note P of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
 
In the ordinary course of operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as leases for premises and equipment. The following table summarizes our significant fixed, determinable, and estimated contractual obligations, by payment date, at December 31, 2008, except for obligations associated with short-term borrowing arrangements. Payments for borrowings do not include interest. Further discussion of the nature of each obligation is included in the referenced note to the consolidated financial statements.

We routinely enter into contracts for services. These contracts may require payment for services to be provided in the future and may also contain penalty clauses for early termination of the contract. We have made a diligent effort to estimate such payments and penalties, where applicable. Additionally, where necessary, we have made reasonable estimates as to certain purchase obligations as of December 31, 2008. Our management has used the best information available to make the estimations necessary to value the related purchase obligations. Our management is not aware of any additional commitments or contingent liabilities which may have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or capital resources at year-end 2008. Subsequent to year-end 2008, we incurred new long-term obligations under our preferred shares issued under the TARP Capital Purchase Program.
 
We also enter into derivative contracts under which we are required to either receive cash from, or pay cash to, counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. Derivative contracts are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with the fair value representing the net present value of expected future cash receipts or payments based on market interest rates as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the contracts change daily as market interest rates change. Because the derivative assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 2008 do not necessarily represent the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, these assets and liabilities are not included in the table of contractual obligations presented above.
 
In addition, due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash flows associated the with our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authority. Therefore, $5.46 million of unrecognized tax benefits have been excluded from the contractual obligations table above. See Note O of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion on income taxes.
 
Assets under management and assets under custody are held in fiduciary or custodial capacity for our clients. In accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, these assets are not included on our balance sheet.
 
We are also party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Further discussion of these commitments is included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note P of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net income was $12.32 million for the fourth quarter of 2008,  compared to the $7.83 million of net income reported for the fourth quarter of 2007. Diluted net income per common share for the fourth quarter of 2008 amounted to $0.50, compared to $0.32 per common share reported in the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
The net interest margin was 3.30% for the fourth quarter of 2008 versus 3.21% for the same period in 2007. Tax-equivalent net interest income was $34.24 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, up 3.33 percent from 2007’s fourth quarter.
 
Our provision for loan and lease losses was $7.05 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to provision for loan and lease losses of $3.25 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Net charge-offs were $2.88 million for the fourth quarter 2008, compared to net charge-offs of $1.48 million a year ago.
 
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $30.23 million, compared to $16.17 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. The predominate factors causing the increase was the sale of certain assets of Investment Advisors for a gain of $11.49 million, the recording of $0.56 million of impairment on Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other preferred equities versus $4.11 million of impairment on these preferred equities in the fourth quarter of 2007. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in mortgage banking income due to mortgage servicing rights impairment of $1.97 million.
 
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $38.50 million, an increase of 5.12% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of 1st Source Corporation


We have audited 1st Source Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). 1st Source Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, 1st Source Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statements of financial condition of 1st Source Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 and our report dated February 20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Shareholders of 1st Source Corporation

 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of 1st Source Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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 1st Source Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 1st Source Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note A — Accounting Policies
The principal line of business of 1st Source and our subsidiaries is banking and closely related activities. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
 
Principles of Consolidation — The financial statements consolidate 1st Source and our subsidiaries (principally the Bank). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. For purposes of the parent company only financial information presented in Note T, investments in subsidiaries are carried at equity in our underlying net assets.
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements — Financial statements prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Business Combinations — Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method, assets and liabilities of the business acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition with any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Results of operations of the acquired business are included in the income statement from the date of acquisition. Refer to Note C - Acquisitions for further discussion.
 
Cash Flow — For purposes of the consolidated and parent company only statements of cash flows, we consider cash and due from banks as cash and cash equivalents.
 
Securities — Securities that we have the ability and positive intent to hold to maturity are classified as investment securities held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity investment securities, when present, are carried at amortized cost. We currently hold no securities classified as held-to-maturity. Securities that may be sold in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates and resulting prepayment risk, or for other factors, are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reported, net of applicable taxes, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Other investments consists solely of shares of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock. These investments are carried at cost and reviewed for impairment at least annually or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be reasonable.
 
Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are reviewed quarterly for possible other-than-temporary impairment. The review includes an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each individual investment such as length of time the fair value has been below cost, the expectation for that security's performance, the credit worthiness of the issuer, and our intent and ability to hold the security for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost. A decline in value that is determined to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
Debt and equity securities that are purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading account securities and are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings. Realized gains and losses on the sales of all securities are reported in earnings and computed using the specific identification cost basis.
 
Loans and Leases — Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized deferred loan origination fees and costs and net of unearned income. Interest income is accrued as earned based on unpaid principal balances. Origination fees and direct loan and lease origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized to interest income over the estimated life of the related loan or lease. Loan commitment fees are deferred and amortized into other income over the commitment period.
 
Direct financing leases are carried at the aggregate of lease payments plus estimated residual value of the leased property, less unearned income. Interest income on direct financing leases is recognized over the term of the lease to achieve a constant periodic rate of return on the outstanding investment.
 
The accrual of interest on loans and leases is discontinued when a loan or lease becomes contractually delinquent for 90 days, or when an individual analysis of a borrower's credit worthiness indicates a credit should be placed on nonperforming status, except for residential mortgage loans and consumer loans that are well secured and in the process of collection. Residential mortgage loans are placed in nonaccrual at the time the loan is placed in foreclosure. When interest accruals are discontinued, interest credited to income in the current year is reversed and interest accrued in the prior year is charged to the reserve for loan and lease losses. However, in some cases, management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal and accrued interest. When a loan or lease is classified as nonaccrual and the future collectibility of the recorded loan or lease balance is doubtful, collections on interest and principal are applied as a reduction to principal outstanding.
 
A loan or lease is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan or lease agreement. Interest on impaired loans and leases, which are not classified as nonaccrual, is recognized on the accrual basis. We evaluate loans and leases exceeding $100,000 for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," (SFAS No. 114) which requires an allowance to be established as a component of the allowance for loan and lease losses when it is probable all amounts due will not be collected pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan and lease and the recorded investment in the loan or lease exceeds its fair value. Fair value is measured using either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
1st Source Bank sells mortgage loans to the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) in the normal course of business and retains the servicing rights. The GNMA programs under which the loans are sold allow us to repurchase individual delinquent loans that meet certain criteria from the securitized loan pool. At our option, and without GNMA's prior authorization, we may repurchase a delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100% of the remaining principal balance on the loan. Under SFAS No. 140, once we have the unconditional ability to repurchase a delinquent loan, we are deemed to have regained effective control over the loan and we are required to recognize the loan on our balance sheet and record an offsetting liability, regardless of our intent to repurchase the loan. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, residential real estate portfolio loans included $5.72 million and $2.91 million, respectively, of loans available for repurchase under the GNMA optional repurchase programs with the offsetting liability recorded within other short-term borrowings.
 
Mortgage Banking Activities — Loans held for sale are primarily composed of performing one-to-four family residential mortgage loans originated for resale. Prior to January 1, 2008, all loans held for sale were carried at the lower of cost or fair value as determined on an aggregate basis. Effective January 1, 2008,

management has elected to carry mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell at fair value pursuant to SFAS 159. Fair value is measured using an income approach and utilizing an appropriate current market yield and a loan commitment closing rate based on historical analysis.
 
We recognize the rights to service mortgage loans for others as separate assets, whether the servicing rights are acquired through a separate purchase or through the sale of originated loans with servicing rights retained. We allocate a portion of the total cost of a mortgage loan to servicing rights based on the fair value. The fair value of the servicing rights is based on market prices, when available, or is determined by estimating the present value of future net servicing income, taking into consideration market loan prepayment speeds and discount rates. These assets are amortized as reductions of mortgage servicing fee income over the estimated servicing period in proportion to the estimated servicing income to be received. Gains and losses on the sale of mortgage servicing rights are recognized as noninterest income in the period in which such rights are sold.
 
Mortgage servicing assets are evaluated for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 140. For purposes of impairment measurement, mortgage servicing assets are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying servicing, principally by loan type and interest rate. The fair value of each tranche of the servicing portfolio is estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, taking into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors. If temporary impairment exists within a tranche, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. If it is later determined all or a portion of the temporary impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, the valuation allowance is reduced through a recovery of income.
 
Mortgage servicing assets are also reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment. Other-than-temporary impairment exists when recoverability of a recorded valuation allowance is determined to be remote considering historical and projected interest rates, prepayments, and loan pay-off activity. When this situation occurs, the unrecoverable portion of the valuation allowance is applied as a direct write-down to the carrying value of the mortgage servicing asset. Unlike a valuation allowance, a direct write-down permanently reduces the carrying value of the mortgage servicing asset and the valuation allowance, precluding subsequent recoveries.
 
As part of mortgage banking operations, we enter into commitments to purchase or originate loans whereby the interest rate on these loans is determined prior to funding ("rate lock commitments"). Similar to loans held for sale, the fair value of rate lock commitments is subject to change primarily due to changes in interest rates. Under our risk management policy, these fair values are hedged primarily by selling forward contracts on agency securities. The rate lock commitments on mortgage loans intended to be sold and the related hedging instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in current earnings. The fair value of rate lock commitments is determined using current secondary market prices for underlying loans with similar coupons, maturity and credit quality, subject to the anticipated loan funding probability, or fallout factor.
 
Reserve for Loan and Lease Losses — The reserve for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level believed to be adequate by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. The determination of the reserve requires significant judgment reflecting management’s best estimate of probable loan and lease losses related to specifically identified loans and leases as well as probable losses in the remainder of the various loan and lease portfolios. The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the reserve consists of several key elements, which include: specific reserves for impaired loans with the impairment reserve determined in accordance with SFAS 114, percentage allocations for special attention loans and leases (classified loans and leases and internal watch list credits) without specific reserves, formula reserves for each business lending division portfolio, and reserves for pooled homogenous loans and leases. Management’s evaluation is based upon a continuing review of these portfolios, estimates of customer performance, collateral values and dispositions, and assessments of economic and geopolitical events, all of which are subject to judgment and will change.
 
Specific reserves are established for certain business and specialty finance credits based on a regular analysis of special attention loans and leases. This analysis is performed by the Credit Policy Committee, the Loan Review Department, Credit Administration, and the Loan Workout Departments. The specific reserves are determined in accordance with SFAS 114 and are based on an analysis of underlying collateral values, cash flow considerations and, if applicable, guarantor capacity.
 
The formula reserves determined for each business lending division portfolio are calculated quarterly by applying loss factors to outstanding loans and leases and certain unfunded commitments based upon a review of historical loss experience and qualitative factors, which include but are not limited to, economic trends, current market risk assessment by industry, recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolios, movement in equipment values collateralizing specialized industry portfolios, concentrations of credit, delinquencies, trends in volume, experience and depth of relationship managers and division management, and the effects of changes in lending policies and practices, including changes in quality of the loan and lease origination, servicing and risk management processes. Special attention loans and leases without specific reserves receive a higher percentage allocation ratio than credits not considered special attention.
 
Pooled loans and leases are smaller credits and are homogenous in nature, such as consumer credits and residential mortgages. Pooled loan and lease loss reserves are based on historical net charge-offs, adjusted for delinquencies, the effects of lending practices and programs and current economic conditions, and current trends in the geographic markets which we serve.
 
A comprehensive analysis of the reserve is performed by management on a quarterly basis. Although management determines the amount of each element of the reserve separately and relies on this process as an important credit management tool, the entire reserve is available for the entire loan and lease portfolio. The actual amount of losses incurred can vary significantly from the estimated amounts both positively and negatively. Management’s methodology includes several factors intended to minimize the difference between estimated and actual losses. These factors allow management to adjust our estimate of losses based on the most recent information available.
 
Loans and leases, which are deemed uncollectible, are charged off and deducted from the reserve, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the reserve. A (recovery of) provision for loan and lease losses is credited or charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.
 
Equipment Owned Under Operating Leases — We finance various types of construction equipment, medium and heavy duty trucks, and automobiles under leases classified as operating leases. Revenue consists of the contractual lease payments and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms range from three to seven years. Leased assets are being depreciated on a straight-line method over the lease term to the estimate of the equipment’s fair market value at lease termination, also referred to as "residual" value. For automobile leases, fair value was based upon published industry market guides. For other equipment leases, fair value may be based upon observable market prices, third-party valuations, or prices received on sales of similar assets at the end of the lease term. These residual values are reviewed periodically to ensure the recorded amount does not exceed the fair market value at the lease termination.
 
Other Real Estate — Other real estate acquired through partial or total satisfaction of nonperforming loans is included in other assets and recorded at the
 
-33-

 
estimated fair value less anticipated selling costs based upon the property’s appraised value at the date of transfer, with any difference between the fair value of the property less cost
to sell, and the carrying value of the loan charged to the reserve for loan losses. Other real estate also includes bank premises qualifying as held for sale under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Bank premises are transferred at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less anticipated selling costs. Fair value write-downs, property maintenance costs, and gains or losses recognized upon the sale of foreclosed assets are recognized in noninterest expense on the income statement. Gains or losses not previously recognized resulting from the sale of other real estate are recognized on the date of sale. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, other real estate had carrying values of $4.74 million and $4.82 million, respectively.
 
Repossessed Assets — Repossessed assets may include fixtures and equipment, inventory and receivables, and aircraft, construction equipment, and vehicles acquired through foreclosure or in lieu of foreclosure from our business banking activities and our specialty finance activities. Repossessed assets are included in other assets at the lower of cost or fair value of the equipment or vehicle. We estimate fair value based on the best estimate of an orderly liquidation value. Valuation resources typically include vehicle and equipment dealers, valuation guides, and other third parties, including appraisers. At the time of foreclosure, the recorded amount of the loan or lease is written down, if necessary, to the fair value of the equipment or vehicle by a charge to the reserve for loan and lease losses. Subsequent write-downs are included in noninterest expense. Gains or losses not previously recognized resulting from the sale of repossessed assets are recognized on the date of sale. Repossessed assets totaled $1.67 million and $2.29 million, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Premises and Equipment — Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The provision for depreciation is computed by the straight-line method, primarily with useful lives ranging from three to 31.5 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while improvements, which extend the useful life, are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining life.
 
Long-lived depreciable assets are evaluated periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when the expected undiscounted future cash flows of a long-lived asset are less than its carrying value. In that event, we recognize a loss in the amount of the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value of the asset based on a quoted market price, if applicable, or a discounted cash flow analysis. Impairment losses are recorded in other noninterest expense in the income statement.
 
Goodwill and Intangibles — Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the carrying amount. Intangible assets that have finite lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives and also continue to be subject to impairment testing. All of our other intangible assets have finite lives and are amortized on a straight-line basis over varying periods not exceeding eight years. We performed the required annual impairment test of goodwill during the first quarter of 2008 and determined that no impairment exists.
 
Venture Capital InvestmentWe account for our investments in venture capital partnerships for which we own three percent or more of the partnership on the equity method based upon the guidance included in EITF D-46. The venture capital partnerships which we have investments in, account for their investments at fair value pursuant to the guidance in the AICPA Investment Company Guide. As a result, our investments in these venture capital partnerships reflect the underlying fair value of the partnerships’ investments. We account for our investments in venture capital partnerships that are owned three percent and greater under this method. We account for our investments in venture capital partnerships that are owned less than three percent at the lower of cost or market. Venture capital investments in partnerships are included in other assets on the balance sheet. The balances as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $1.86 million and $1.65 million, respectively.
 
Short-Term Borrowings — Our short-term borrowings consist of Federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, commercial paper, U.S. Treasury demand notes, Federal Home Loan Bank notes, and borrowings from non-affiliated banks. Federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and other short-term borrowings mature within one to 365 days of the transaction date. Commercial paper matures within seven to 270 days. Other short-term borrowings on the balance sheet include our liability related to mortgage loans available for repurchase under GNMA optional repurchase programs.
 
Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are treated as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were acquired or sold plus accrued interest. The fair value of collateral either received from or provided to a third party is continually monitored and additional collateral obtained or requested to be returned to us as deemed appropriate.
 
Trust Fees — Trust fees are recognized on the accrual basis.
 
Income Taxes — 1st Source and our subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax return. The provision for incomes taxes is based upon income in the consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on our income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years.  Although realization is not assured, we believe it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
 
Positions taken in our tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon examination. Uncertain tax positions are initially recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. We provide for interest and, in some cases, penalties on tax positions that may be challenged by the taxing authorities. Interest expense is recognized beginning in the first period that such interest would begin accruing. Penalties are recognized in the period that we claim the position in the tax return. Interest and penalties on income tax uncertainties are classified within income tax expense in the income statement.
 
Net Income Per Common Share — Net income per common share is computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, which were as follows (in thousands): 2008, 24,106; 2007, 23,516; and 2006, 22,537. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options. The weighted-average number of common shares, increased for the dilutive effect of stock options, used in the computation of diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands): 2008, 24,388; 2007, 23,810; and 2006, 22,830.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation — We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006.  SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation using APB No. 25 and requires that such transactions be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the measurement date, which, for our purposes, is the date of grant. We transitioned to fair-value based accounting for stock-based compensation using the modified prospective application and, therefore, have not restated results for prior periods. This transition method applies to new awards for service periods beginning on or after January 1, 2006, and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (generally referring to non-vested award) which were granted prior to January 1, 2006 will be recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered during the period of and/or the periods after the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
 
Segment Information — In our management's opinion, 1st Source has one principal business segment, commercial banking. While our chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of various products and services, the identifiable segments' operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of our financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments — We occasionally enter into derivative financial instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategies. These derivative financial instruments consist primarily of interest rate swaps. Under the guidance of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet, as either an asset or liability, at their fair value. The accounting for the gain or loss resulting from the change in fair value depends on the intended use of the derivative. For a derivative used to hedge changes in fair value of a recognized asset or liability, or an unrecognized firm commitment, the gain or loss on the derivative will be recognized in earnings together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item. This results in an earnings impact only to the extent that the hedge is ineffective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value. If it is determined that the derivative instrument is not highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued and the adjustment to fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in earnings. For a derivative used to hedge changes in cash flows associated with forecasted transactions, the gain or loss on the effective portion of the derivative will be deferred, and reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders’ equity, until such time the hedged transaction affects earnings. For derivative instruments not accounted for as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in noninterest income/expense. Deferred gains and losses from derivatives that are terminated and were in a cash flow hedge are amortized over the shorter of the original remaining term of the derivative or the remaining life of the underlying asset or liability.
 
Fair Value Measurements — We record certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Securities available for sale, trading securities, mortgage loans held for sale, and derivative instruments are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements are also utilized to determine the initial value of certain assets and liabilities, to perform impairment assessments, and for disclosure purposes. We use quoted market prices and observable inputs to the maximum extent possible when measuring fair value. In the absence of quoted market prices, various valuation techniques are utilized to measure fair value. When possible, observable market data for identical or similar financial instruments are used in the valuation. When market data is not available, fair value is determined using valuation models that incorporate management’s estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels based on the observability of the inputs used to determine fair value, as follows:
 
Level 1 — The valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.
 
Level 2 — The valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
 
Level 3 — The valuation is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by minimal or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the instrument. Level 3 valuations are typically performed using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that incorporate management’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the instrument, or valuations that require significant management judgment or estimation.
 
Reclassifications — Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets, shareholders’ equity or net income as previously reported.
 
Note B — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Clarifies Application of Fair Value Accounting: On October 10, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.”   The FSP clarifies the application of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The FSP was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The provisions of FSP FAS 157-3 did not have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

GAAP Hierarchy: In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (SFAS No. 162). This standard identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). The provisions of SFAS No. 162 did not impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We are assessing the potential disclosure effects of SFAS No. 161.

Business Combinations: In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141R broadens the guidance of SFAS No. 141, extending its applicability to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. It broadens the fair value measurement and recognition of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and interests transferred as a result of business combinations.  SFAS No. 141R expands on required disclosures to improve the statement users’ abilities to evaluate the nature and financial effects of business combinations. SFAS No. 141R is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The provisions of SFAS No. 141R will only impact us if we are party to a business combination closing on or after January 1, 2009.

Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings: In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109 (SAB 109), “Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value through Earnings,” an amendment of SAB 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments.” Under SAB 109, the expected net future cash flows of associated loan servicing activities should be included in the measurement of written loan commitments accounted for at fair value through earnings. The guidance in SAB 109 is applied on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. We adopted the provisions of SAB 109 on January 1, 2008. Details related to the adoption of SAB 109 and the impact on our financial statements are more fully discussed in Note S – Fair Value.
 
Fair Value Option: In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). The fair value option permits companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Companies will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings after adoption. SFAS No. 159 requires additional disclosures related to the fair value measurements included in the companies’ financial statements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008. Details related to the adoption of SFAS No. 159 and the impact on our financial statements are more fully discussed in Note S – Fair Value.

Fair Value Measurements: In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. Details related to the adoption of SFAS No. 157 and the impact on our financial statements are more fully discussed in Note S – Fair Value.
 
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements: In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 requires that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary be reported separately within equity and the amount of consolidated net income specifically attributable to the noncontrolling interest be identified in the consolidated financial statements. It also calls for consistency in the manner of reporting changes in the parent’s ownership interest and requires fair value measurement of any noncontrolling equity investment retained in a deconsolidation. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect the provisions of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
Note C —  Acquisitions
 
On May 31, 2007, we acquired FINA Bancorp (FINA), the parent company of First National Bank, Valparaiso (First National), for $134.19 million. First National is a full service bank that had 26 banking facilities located in Porter, LaPorte and Starke Counties of Indiana. Pursuant to the definitive agreement, FINA shareholders were able to choose whether to receive 1st Source common stock and/or cash pursuant to the election procedures described in the definitive agreement. Under the terms of the transaction, FINA was acquired in exchange for 2,124,974 shares of 1st Source common stock valued at $53.68 million and $80.51 million in cash. The value of the common stock was $25.26 per share. We believe that the purchase of FINA is a natural extension of our service area and is consistent with our growth and market expansion initiatives. The results of operations for First National have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition.
 
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Identified intangible assets and purchase accounting fair value adjustments are being amortized under various methods over the expected lives of the corresponding assets and liabilities. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.

At December 31, 2008, we do not believe any individual unrealized loss represented other-than-temporary impairment. The unrealized losses were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. We have both the intent and the ability to hold these securities for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost.
 
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, investment securities with carrying values of $434.12 million and $403.82 million, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure government deposits, security repurchase agreements, and for other purposes.
 
Note E — Loans and Lease Financings
 
Total loans and leases outstanding were recorded net of unearned income and deferred loan fees and costs at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and totaled $3.30 billion and $3.19 billion, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, net deferred loan and lease costs were $4.58 million and $6.30 million, respectively.
 
The loan and lease portfolio includes direct financing leases, which are included in auto, light truck and environmental equipment, medium and heavy duty truck, aircraft financing, and construction equipment financing on the consolidated balance sheet.
 
A summary of the gross investment in lease financing and the components of the investment in lease financing at December 31, 2008 and 2007, follows:

In the ordinary course of business, we have extended loans to certain directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders of equity securities of 1st Source and to their affiliates. In the opinion of management, these loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other parties and are consistent with sound banking practices and within applicable regulatory and lending limitations. The aggregate dollar amounts of these loans were $9.16 million and $5.51 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During 2008, $10.54 million of new loans were made and repayments and other reductions totaled $6.89 million.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, nonaccrual and restructured loans and leases, substantially all of which are collateralized, were $36.55 million and $10.14 million, respectively. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, would have increased by approximately $1.54 million, $0.72 million, and $1.28 million, respectively, if these loans and leases had earned interest at their full contract rate.
 
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, impaired loans and leases totaled $30.94 million and $6.19 million respectively, of which $21.36 million and $1.26 million had corresponding specific reserves for loan and lease losses totaling $4.54 million and $0.11 million, respectively. The remaining balances of impaired loans and leases had no specific reserves for loan and lease losses associated with them. As of December 31, 2008, a total of $30.65 million of the impaired loans and leases were nonaccrual loans and leases. For 2008, 2007, and 2006 the average recorded investment in impaired loans and leases was $15.25 million, $8.35 million and $11.39 million, respectively, and interest income recognized on impaired loans and leases totaled $1.68 million, $0.04 million, and $0.56 million, respectively.
 
Note G — Operating Leases
 
We finance various types of construction equipment, medium and heavy duty trucks, automobiles, and miscellaneous production equipment under leases principally classified as operating leases. The equipment underlying the operating leases is reported at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, in the consolidated balance sheet. These operating lease arrangements require the lessee to make a fixed monthly rental payment over a specified lease term, typically from three to seven years.  Rental income is earned on the operating lease assets and reported as noninterest income. These operating lease assets are depreciated over the term of the lease to the estimated fair value of the asset at the end of the lease. The depreciation of these operating lease assets is reported as a component of noninterest expense. At the end of the lease, the operating lease asset is either purchased by the lessee or returned to us.
 
Operating lease equipment at December 31, 2008 and 2007, was $83.06 million and $81.96 million, respectively, net of accumulated depreciation of $39.65 million and $31.42 million, respectively. Depreciable lives for operating lease equipment generally range from three to seven years.
 
The minimum future lease rental payments due from clients on operating lease equipment at December 31, 2008, totaled $63.52 million, of which $22.85 million is due in 2009, $18.33 million in 2010, $13.04 million in 2011, $6.91 million in 2012, $2.11 million in 2013, $0.24 million in 2014, and $0.04 million in 2015. Depreciation expense related to operating lease equipment for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $19.45 million.

Note I - Mortgage Servicing Assets
 
The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for third parties was $0.78 billion at December 31, 2008, compared to $0.76 billion at December 31, 2007, and $0.65 billion at December 31, 2006.

  $ 4,635     $ 7,279  
Fair value of mortgage servicing assets at end of period
  $ 4,715     $ 9,010  
 
Amortization includes a decrease in mortgage servicing asset value due to normal passage of time and loans that paid off during the period.
 
Mortgage servicing assets are evaluated for impairment and a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income when the carrying value of the mortgage servicing assets exceeds the fair value. Other-than-temporary impairment is recognized when the recoverability of a recorded valuation allowance is determined to be remote taking into consideration historical and projected interest rates and loan pay-off activity. When this situation occurs, the unrecoverable portion of the valuation allowance is applied as a direct write-down to the carrying value of the mortgage servicing asset. Unlike a valuation allowance, a direct write-down permanently reduces the carrying value of the mortgage servicing asset and the valuation allowance, precluding subsequent recoveries. During 2008, management determined that it was not necessary to permanently write-down any previously established valuation allowance. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of mortgage servicing assets exceeded the carrying value reported in the consolidated balance sheet by $0.08 million. This difference represents increases in the fair value of certain mortgage servicing assets accounted for under SFAS No. 140 that could not be recorded above cost basis.
 
The key economic assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights as of December 31 follow:
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Expected weighted-average life (in years)
    3.02       3.19  
Weighted-average constant prepayment rate (CPR)
    40.40 %     17.28 %
Weighted-average discount rate
    8.45 %     8.57 %
 
Funds held in trust at 1st Source for the payment of principal, interest, taxes and insurance premiums applicable to mortgage loans being serviced for others, were approximately $13.21 million and $6.27 million at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Mortgage loan contractual servicing fees, including late fees and ancillary income, were $3.05 million, $2.85 million, and $5.37 million for 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Mortgage loan contractual servicing fees are included in Mortgage banking income on the consolidated statement of income.
 
Note J — Intangible Assets and Goodwill
 
At December 31, 2008, intangible assets consisted of goodwill of $83.33 million and other intangible assets of $8.36 million, net of accumulated amortization of $2.43 million. At December 31, 2007, intangible assets consisted of goodwill of $83.68 million and other intangible assets of $9.89 million, net of accumulated amortization of $13.21 million. Intangible asset amortization was $1.39 million, $0.87 million, and $1.91 million for 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Amortization on other intangible assets is expected to total $1.36 million, $1.35 million, $1.32 million, $1.23 million, and $1.02 million in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively.

During 2007, we entered into a line of credit agreement whereby 1st Source may borrow up to $30.00 million. At December 31, 2007, there were no outstanding borrowings under this line.  During 2008, $10.00 million was drawn on this line and converted to a term loan bearing a fixed interest rate of 4.28%. Interest is payable quarterly with principal due at the October 30, 2010, maturity. The Loan Agreement contains, among other provisions, certain covenants relating to capital structure financial requirements.  $20.00 million remains available on the line of credit at December 31, 2008. The line of credit matures on October 30, 2010.
 
At December 31, 2008, the Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings represented a source of funding for certain residential mortgage activities and consisted of six fixed rate notes with maturities ranging from 2009 to 2022. These notes were collateralized by $13.73 million of certain real estate loans.
 
Mandatorily redeemable securities as of December 31, 2008, of $7.91 million reflected the "book value" shares under the 1st Source Executive Incentive Plan. See Note L - Employee Stock Benefit Plans for additional information. Dividends paid on these shares and changes in book value per share are recorded as other interest expense. Total interest expense recorded for 2008, 2007, and 2006 was $0.66 million, $0.80 million, and $0.66 million, respectively.
 
Note L — Employee Stock Benefit Plans
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had five stock-based employee compensation plans. These plans include two stock option plans, namely, the 1992 Stock Option Plan, and the 2001 Stock Option Plan; two executive stock award plans, namely, the Executive Incentive Plan, and the Restricted Stock Award Plan; and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These stock-based employee compensation plans were established to help retain and motivate key employees. All of the plans have been approved by the shareholders of 1st Source Corporation. The Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the "Committee") of the 1st Source Corporation Board of Directors has sole authority to select the employees, establish the awards to be issued, and approve the terms and conditions of each award under the stock-based compensation plans.

Stock Option Plans — Our incentive stock option plans include the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan") and the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Plan"). As of December 31, 2008, there were 16,693 stock options remaining exercisable under the 1992 Plan, all of which will expire no later than January 2011. We have not issued any awards from the 1992 Plan since 2001, as the 1992 Plan was terminated, except for outstanding options, after the 2001 Plan was approved by the shareholders. Options under the 2001 Plan vest in one to eight years from date of grant. As of December 31, 2008, there were 64,255 shares available for issuance upon exercise and 2,119,922 shares available for issuance under the 2001 Plan.
 
Each award from all plans is evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the option price, the duration of the option, the number of shares to which the option pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee determines. The option price is equal to the fair market value of a share of 1st Source Corporation's common stock on the date of grant. Options granted expire at such time as the Committee determines at the date of grant and in no event does the exercise period exceed a maximum of ten years. Upon merger, consolidation, or other corporate consolidation in which 1st Source Corporation is not the surviving corporation, as defined in the plans, all outstanding options immediately vest.
 
Proceeds from stock option exercises totaled $0.32 million in 2007 and $0.91 million in 2006. There were no stock option exercises during 2008.  All shares issued in connection with stock option exercises and non-vested stock awards are issued from available treasury stock.
 
The total intrinsic value of outstanding stock options and outstanding exercisable stock options was $0.44 million and $0.35 million at December 31, 2008. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $0.27 million in 2007 and $0.96 million in 2006. The total fair value of share awards vested was $0.66 million during 2008, $0.98 million in 2007, and $0.67 million in 2006.

As stated in Note A - Accounting Policies, effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).  SFAS 123(R) requires that stock-based compensation to employees be recognized as compensation cost in the income statement based on their fair values on the measurement date, which, for 1st Source, is the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for all awards. As a result of applying the provisions of SFAS 123(R) during 2006, we recognized additional stock-based compensation expense related to stock options of $15,364 for 2008, $65,174 for 2007 and $61,606 for 2006 (not subject to tax). The increase in stock-based compensation expense related to stock options had an immaterial impact on basic or diluted earnings per share during 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility estimated over a period at least equal to the estimated term of the options. In estimating the fair value of stock options under the Black-Scholes valuation model, separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately. The expected term of the options granted is derived based on past experience and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the option pricing model for options granted in 2007 and 2006 (no options were granted in 2008):  a risk-free interest rate of 4.10% for 2007 and 4.87% for 2006; an expected dividend yield of 1.94% for 2007 and 2.02% for 2006; an expected volatility factor of 30.46% for 2007 and 35.73% for 2006; and an expected option life of 4.67 years for 2007 and 5.23 years for 2006. The weighted-average grant date per share fair value of options granted was $7.67 for 2007 and $9.75 for 2006.
 
Stock Award Plans — Our incentive stock award plans include the Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) and the Restricted Stock Award Plan (RSAP). The EIP is also administered by the Committee. Awards under the EIP include "book value" shares and "market value" shares of common stock. These shares are awarded annually based on weighted performance criteria and generally vest over a period of five years. The EIP book value shares may only be sold to 1st Source and such sale is mandatory in the event of death, retirement, disability, or termination of employment. The RSAP is designed for key employees. Awards under the RSAP are made to employees recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee. Shares granted under the RSAP vest over a five- to ten-year period and vesting is based upon meeting certain various criteria, including continued employment with 1st Source.
 
Stock-based compensation expense totaled $2.46 million in 2008, $1.83 million in 2007, and $0.41 million in 2006. The total income tax benefit recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income related to stock-based compensation was $0.93 million in 2008, $0.69 million in 2007, and $0.16 million in 2006. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options totaled $28,482 at December 31, 2008. At such date, the weighted-average period over which this unrecognized expense was expected to be recognized was 2.3 years. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards was $2.18 million at December 31, 2008. At such date, the weighted-average period over which this unrecognized expense was expected to be recognized was 3.77 years.
 
The fair value of non-vested stock awards for the purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense is market price of the stock on the measurement date, which, for our purposes is the date of the award.
 
Employee Stock Purchase Plan — We offer an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) for substantially all employees with at least two years of service on the effective date of an offering under the plan. Eligible employees may elect to purchase any dollar amount of stock, so long as such amount does not exceed 25% of their base rate of pay and the aggregate stock accrual rate for all offerings does not exceed $25,000 in any calendar year. The purchase price for shares offered is the lower of the closing market bid price for the offering date or the average market bid price for the five business days preceding the offering date. The purchase price and discount to the actual market closing price on the offering date for the 2008, 2007, and 2006 offerings were $20.70 (0.05%), $25.58 (1.69%), and $25.70 (3.45%), respectively. Payment for the stock is made through payroll deductions over the offering period, and employees may discontinue the deductions at any time and exercise the option or take the funds out of the program. The most recent offering began June 2, 2008 and runs through June 1, 2010, with $356,134 in stock value to be purchased at $20.70 per share.

Note M — Subordinated Notes
 
As of December 31, 2008, we sponsored two trusts, 1st Source Capital Trust IV and 1st Source Master Trust (Capital Trusts) of which 100% of the common equity is owned by 1st Source. The Capital Trusts were formed for the purpose of issuing corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable capital securities (the capital securities) to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities solely in junior subordinated debenture securities of 1st Source (the subordinated notes). The subordinated notes held by each Capital Trust are the sole assets of that Capital Trust. The Capital Trusts are reported in the financial statements as unconsolidated subsidiaries in accordance with FIN 46. The junior subordinated debentures are reflected as subordinated notes in the consolidated balance sheet.
 
Distributions on the capital securities issued by the Capital Trusts are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned by the Capital Trust on the subordinated notes held by that Capital Trust. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the subordinated notes. We have entered into agreements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee the capital securities subject to the terms of each of the guarantees. The capital securities held by the Capital Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines.

Note N — Employee Benefit Plans

Effective October 1, 2006, we amended the 1st Source Corporation Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan and Trust, which was renamed the 1st Source Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and Profit Sharing Plan (as amended, the “Plan”). The Plan includes an employee stock ownership component, which is designed to invest in and hold 1st Source common stock, and a 401(k) plan component, which holds all Plan assets not invested in 1st Source common stock. The Plan now also includes a number of new features that encourage diversification of investments with more opportunities to change investment elections and contribution levels.

Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of employment. After one year and 1,000 hours of service worked, we are required under the 401(k) component of the Plan to match dollar for dollar participant contributions up to 4% of compensation, plus 50 cents per dollar of the next 2% deferrals. We will also contribute to the Plan an amount designated as a fixed profit sharing contribution. The amount of fixed profit sharing contribution is equal to two percent of compensation. Additionally, each year we may, in our sole discretion, make additional contributions to the 401(k) component of the Plan. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 1,191,749 and 1,302,924 shares, respectively, of 1st Source Corporation common stock held in relation to employee benefit plans.

Our contribution is allocated among the participants on the basis of compensation. Each participant’s account is credited with cash or shares of 1st Source common stock based on that participant’s compensation earned during the year. After completing five years of service in which they worked at least 1,000 hours per year, a participant will be completely vested in their Plan account. Plan participants are entitled to receive distributions from their Plan accounts only upon termination of service, which includes retirement or death.
 
Contribution expense for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, amounted to $2.90 million, $2.74 million, and $2.39 million, respectively.
 
Contributions to the defined contribution money purchase pension plan are based on 2% of participants’ eligible compensation. For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, total pension expense for this plan amounted to $1.37 million, $1.06 million, and $0.85 million, respectively.
 
Through April 30, 2007, Trustcorp contributed to a defined contribution plan for all of its employees who met the general eligibility requirements of the plan. Contribution expense for this plan for the years ended December 31, 2007, and 2006, amounted to $0.03 million and $0.09 million, respectively. Effective May 1, 2007, this plan was merged into the 1st Source Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and Profit Sharing Plan.
 
First National contributed to a defined contribution plan for all of its employees who met general eligibility requirements of the plan. Contribution expense for this plan for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $0.09 million. Effective January 2, 2008, this plan was merged into the 1st Source Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and Profit Sharing Plan.
 
In addition to the 1st Source Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and Profit Sharing Plan, we provide certain health care and life insurance benefits for substantially all of our retired employees. All of our full-time employees become eligible for these retiree benefits upon reaching age 55 with 20 years of credited service. The medical plan pays a stated percentage of eligible medical expenses reduced for any deductibles and payments made by government programs and other group coverage. The lifetime maximum benefit payable under the medical plan is $15,000 and for life insurance is $3,000.
 
Our net periodic postretirement benefit cost recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 amounted to $0.13 million, $(0.01) million, and $0.12 million, respectively. Our accrued postretirement benefit cost was not material at December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized was $4.19 million at December 31, 2008 and $4.25 million at December 31, 2007. Interest and penalties are recognized through the income tax provision. For the years 2008 and 2007, we recognized approximately $0.14 million and $0.26 million in interest, net of tax effect, and penalties, respectively. Interest and penalties of approximately $1.27 million and $1.13 million were accrued at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Tax years that remain open and subject to audit include the federal 2005–2008 years and the Indiana 2002–2008 years. Additionally, we have an open tax examination with the Indiana Department of Revenue for the tax years 2002-2004. As a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in both federal and state tax jurisdictions as well as the closing of tax audits, it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months there will be a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits that will affect the effective tax rate and increase earnings in an amount ranging from $0 to $3.20 million.
 
Note P — Contingent Liabilities, Commitments, and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
 
Contingent Liabilities —1st Source and our subsidiaries are defendants in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon present information including the advice of legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
Commitments — 1st Source and our subsidiaries are obligated under operating leases for certain office premises and equipment. In 1982, we sold the headquarters building and entered into a leaseback agreement with the purchaser. At December 31, 2008, the remaining term of the lease was four years with options to renew for up to 15 additional years. Approximately 35% of the facility is subleased to other tenants.
 
Future minimum rental commitments for all noncancellable operating leases total approximately, $2.63 million in 2009, $2.23 million in 2010, $1.92 million in 2011, $0.89 million in 2012, $0.38 million in 2013, and $0.73 million, thereafter. As of December 31, 2008, future minimum rentals to be received under noncancellable subleases totaled $3.45 million.
 
Rental expense of office premises and equipment and related sublease income were as follows:

Net rental expense
  $ 1,593     $ 1,615     $ 1,624  
 
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk —To meet the financing needs of our clients, 1st Source and our subsidiaries are parties to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business. These off-balance-sheet financial instruments include commitments to originate, purchase and sell loans, and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition.
 
Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the dollar amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies and collateral requirements in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 
Loan commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
 
The Bank grants mortgage loan commitments to borrowers, subject to normal loan underwriting standards. The interest rate risk associated with these loan commitments is managed by entering into contracts for future deliveries of loans.
 
Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. The credit risk involved in and collateral obtained when issuing letters of credit are essentially the same as those involved in extending loan commitments to clients.
 
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, 1st Source had commitments outstanding to originate and purchase mortgage loans aggregating $93.32 million and $31.70 million, respectively. Outstanding commitments to sell loans aggregated $97.56 million at December 31, 2008, and $45.53 million at December 31, 2007. Standby letters of credit totaled $82.18 million and $61.79 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Standby letters of credit generally have terms ranging from six months to one year.

Note Q — Derivative Financial Instruments
 
We have certain interest rate derivative positions that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative positions relate to transactions in which we enter into an interest rate swap with a client while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with another financial institution. In connection with each transaction, we agree to pay interest to the client on a notional amount at a variable interest rate and receive interest from the client on the same notional amount at a fixed interest rate. At the same time, we agree to pay another financial institution the same fixed interest rate on the same notional amount and receive the same variable interest rate on the same notional amount. The transaction allows our client to effectively convert a variable rate loan to a fixed rate. Because the terms of the swaps with our customers and the other financial institution offset each other, with the only difference being counterparty credit risk, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts are not materially different and do not significantly impact our results of operations. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the notional amount of non-hedging interest rate swaps was $421.28 million and $196.52 million, respectively.
 
Note R — Regulatory Matters
 
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets. We believe that we meet all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject.
 
The most recent notification from the Federal bank regulators categorized 1st Source Bank, the largest of our subsidiaries, as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized" we must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that we believe will have changed the institution’s category.
 
As discussed in Note M, the capital securities held by the Capital Trusts qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines.
 
The actual and required capital amounts and ratios for 1st Source Corporation and 1st Source Bank as of December 31, 2008, are presented in the table below:

The Bank is required to maintain noninterest bearing cash balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average balance of these deposits for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, was approximately $3.33 million and $4.21 million, respectively.
 
Dividends that may be paid by a subsidiary bank to the parent company are subject to certain legal and regulatory limitations and also may be affected by capital needs, as well as other factors. Without regulatory approval, the Bank can pay dividends in 2009 of up to $21.36 million, plus an additional amount equal to its net profits for 2009, as defined by statute, up to the date of any such dividend declaration.
 
Due to our mortgage activities, 1st Source Bank is required to maintain minimum net worth capital requirements established by various governmental agencies. 1st Source Bank's net worth requirements are governed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development and GNMA. As of December 31, 2008, 1st Source Bank met its minimum net worth capital requirements.
 
Note S — Fair Values of Financial Instruments
 
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 159, which allows an entity the option to irrevocably elect fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, as well as other commitments and obligations, on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
 
We elected fair value accounting for new mortgages held for sale originations starting on January 1, 2008. We believe the election for mortgages held for sale (which are hedged with free-standing derivatives (economic hedges) will reduce certain timing differences and better match changes in the value of these assets with changes in the value of derivatives used as economic hedges for these assets. There was no transition adjustment required upon adoption of SFAS No. 159 for mortgages held for sale because we continued to account for mortgages held for sale originated prior to January 1, 2008 at the lower of cost or fair value. At December 31, 2008, mortgages held for sale carried at fair value totaled $46.69 million. At December 31, 2008, there were no mortgages held for sale that were originated prior to January 1, 2008.

The following table reflects the differences between fair value carrying amount of mortgages held for sale measured at fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal amount we are contractually entitled to receive at maturity on December 31, 2008:

    -       -       -  
 
(1) The excess of fair value carrying amount over unpaid principal includes changes in fair value at and subsequent to funding, gains and losses on the related loan commitment prior to
funding, and premiums on acquired loans.
     
 
Effective with the adoption of SFAS 157, we determine the fair values of our financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in that standard, which requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted price and observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
 
Investment securities available for sale are valued primarily by a third party pricing agent and both the market and income valuation approaches are implemented using the following types of inputs:
 
·  
U.S. treasuries are priced using the market approach and utilizing live data feeds from active market exchanges for identical securities.
 
·  
Government-sponsored agency debt securities and corporate bonds are primarily priced using available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, market valuations of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing.
 
·  
Other government-sponsored agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and some of the actively traded REMICs and CMOs, are primarily priced using available market information including benchmark yields, prepayment speeds, spreads and volatility of similar securities.
 
·  
Other inactive government-sponsored agency securities are primarily priced using consensus pricing and dealer quotes.
 
·  
State and political subdivisions are largely grouped by characteristics, i.e., geographical data and source of revenue in trade dissemination systems. Since some securities are not traded daily and due to other grouping limitations, active market quotes are often obtained using benchmarking for like securities. Local tax anticipation warrants, with very little market activity, are priced using an appropriate market yield curve.
 
·  
Marketable equity (common) securities are primarily priced using the market approach and utilizing live data feeds from active market exchanges for identical securities.
 
·  
Marketable equity (preferred) securities are primarily priced using available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing.
 
Trading account securities are priced using the market approach and utilizing live data feeds from active market exchanges for identical securities.
 
Mortgages held for sale and the related loan commitments and forward contracts (hedges) are valued using an income approach and utilizing an appropriate current market yield and a loan commitment closing rate based on historical analysis.
 
Interest rate swap positions, both assets and liabilities, are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and utilizing models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers various factors including interest rate yield curves, time value and volatility factors.

We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These other financial assets include loans measured for impairment under SFAS 114, venture capital partnership investments and mortgage servicing rights. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis the following represents impairment charges recognized on these assets during the year ended December 31, 2008: impaired loans $2.54 million; venture capital partnership investments $0.13 million; mortgage servicing rights $1.91 million.

SFAS 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial asset and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and cash equivalents. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:
 
Loans and Leases — For variable rate loans and leases that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for certain real estate loans (e.g., one-to-four single family residential mortgage loans) are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values of all other loans and leases are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses which use interest rates currently being offered for loans and leases with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
 
Deposits — The fair values for all deposits other than time deposits are equal to the amounts payable on demand (the carrying value). Fair values of variable rate time deposits are equal to their carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate time deposits are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.
 
Short-Term Borrowings — The carrying values of Federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, including our liability related to mortgage loans available for repurchase under GNMA optional repurchase programs, approximate their fair values.
 
Long-Term Debt and Mandatorily Redeemable Securities — The fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on our current estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying values of mandatorily redeemable securities are based on approximate fair values.
 
Subordinated Notes — Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on calculated market prices of comparable securities.
 
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments — Contract and fair values for certain of our off-balance-sheet financial instruments (guarantees and loan commitments) are estimated based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.
 
Limitations — Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other such factors.
 
These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  These estimates are subjective in nature and require considerable judgment to interpret market data.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we could realize in a current market exchange, nor are they intended to represent the fair value of 1st Source as a whole.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.  The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of the respective balance sheet date.  Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
 
Other significant assets, such as premises and equipment, other assets, and liabilities not defined as financial instruments, are not included in the above disclosures. Also, the fair value estimates for deposits do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

Note U — Subsequent Event
 
On January 23, 2009, we entered into a Letter Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury ("Treasury"), pursuant to which we issued (i) 111,000 shares of the Registrant’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and (ii) a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 837,947 shares of the our common stock, without par value (the "Common Stock"), for an aggregate purchase price of $111,000,000 in cash.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock will qualify as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock is non-voting except with respect to certain matters affecting the rights of the holders thereof, and may be redeemed by us after three years. Prior to the end of three years, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by us only with proceeds from the sale of qualifying equity securities of 1st Source Corporation.
 
The Warrant has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, equal to $19.87 per share of the Common Stock.
 
In addition, we may not increase the quarterly dividends we pay on our common stock above $0.16 per share during the three-year period ending January 23, 2012, without the consent of the U.S. Treasury Department, unless the Treasury Department no longer holds shares of the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”), which was signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009, provides that the Secretary of the Treasury shall permit a recipient of funds under the Troubled Assets Relief Program, subject to consultation with the recipient’s appropriate Federal banking agency, to repay such assistance without regard to whether the recipient has replaced such funds from any other source or to any waiting period. ARRA further provides that when the recipient repays such assistance, the Secretary of the Treasury shall liquidate the warrants associated with the assistance at the current market price. While Treasury has not yet issued implementing regulations, it appears that ARRA will permit 1st Source, if it so elects and following consultation with the FRB, to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at any time without restriction.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.
 
1st Source carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, at December 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by 1st Source in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in those reports is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
In addition, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
Management of 1st Source Corporation ("1st Source") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. 1st Source’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures pertaining to 1st Source’s ability to record, process, and report reliable information. Actions are taken to correct any deficiencies as they are identified through internal and external audits, regular examinations by bank regulatory agencies, 1st Source’s formal risk management process, and other means. 1st Source’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to 1st Source’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of 1st Source’s published financial statements.
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
 
1st Source’s management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2008, 1st Source’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
 
Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of 1st Source’s internal control over financial reporting.  This report appears on page 26.
