SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND CONSOLIDATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. ("Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries: Mid-Illinois Data Services, Inc. ("MIDS") and First Mid-Illinois
Bank & Trust, N.A. ("First Mid Bank") and its wholly-owned subsidiary First
Mid-Illinois Insurance Services, Inc. ("First Mid Insurance"). All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial information reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results of the
interim periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and all such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of the interim period ended March 31, 2000,
are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 and do not include
all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements and related footnote disclosures. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1999 Form 10- K.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company's comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 is as follows:

Tax effect ........................ 27 288
Comprehensive income ................ $ 1,378 $ 797
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Income for Basic Earnings per Share ("EPS") is adjusted for dividends
attributable to preferred stock and is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of the
convertible preferred stock and the assumed conversion of the stock options. On
November 15, 1999, the Company issued shares of its common stock to holders of
its Series A Convertible preferred stock upon the Company's election to convert
all such preferred stock into common stock.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide a better
understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations
of the Company and its subsidiaries for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and
1999. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements, related notes and selected financial data
appearing elsewhere in this report.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as, discussions of the
Company's pricing and fee trends, credit quality and outlook, liquidity, new
business results, expansion plans, anticipated expenses and planned schedules.
The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe
harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for
purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are
based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and
expectations of the Company, are identified by use of the words "believe,"
"expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions.
Actual results could differ materially from the results indicated by these
statements because the realization of those results is subject to many
uncertainties including: changes in interest rates, general economic conditions,
legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S.
Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve
Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand
for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in
the Company's market area and accounting principles, policies and guidelines.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking
statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further
information concerning the Company and its business, including additional
factors that could materially affect the Company's financial results, is
included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
OVERVIEW
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,430,000 ($.63
diluted EPS), an increase of $74,000 from $1,356,000 ($.60 diluted EPS) for the
same period in 1999. A summary of the factors which contributed to the changes
in net income for the three months is shown in the table below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
The largest source of operating revenue for the Company is net interest
income. Net interest income represents the difference between total interest
income earned on earning assets and total interest expense paid on interest-
bearing liabilities. The amount of interest income is dependent upon many
factors including the volume and mix of earning assets, the general level of
interest rates and the dynamics of changes in interest rates. The cost of funds
necessary to support earning assets varies with the volume and mix of
interest-bearing liabilities and the rates paid to attract and retain such
funds.
For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, the interest earned
on tax-exempt securities is adjusted to an amount comparable to interest subject
to normal income taxes. The adjustment is referred to as the tax- equivalent
("TE") adjustment. The Company's average balances, interest income and expense
and rates earned or paid for major balance sheet categories are set forth in the
following table (dollars in thousands):

On an tax equivalent basis, net interest income increased $778,000, or
15.9% to $5,686,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $4,908,000
for the same period in 1999. The increase in net interest income for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, was primarily due to an increase in rates on
earning assets combined with an increase in the volume of earning assets offset
by a slight increase in the deposit rates combined with a higher deposit base.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, average earning assets increased
by $51,620,000, or 10.5%, and average interest-bearing liabilities increased
$58,725,000, or 13.9%, compared with average balances for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.
Changes in average balances, as a percent of average earnings assets, are
shown below:
* average loans (as a percent of average earnings assets) increased 3.2%
to 71.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 68.4% for the
three months ended March 31, 1999
* average securities (as a percent of average earnings assets) decreased
2.7% to 27.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 from 30.6% for
the three months ended March 31, 1999
* net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, increased to 4.18% for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, from 3.98% for the three months
ended March 31, 1999
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 was $150,000. For information on loan loss experience and nonperforming
loans, see the "NONPERFORMING LOANS" and "LOAN QUALITY AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN
LOSSES" sections later in this document.
OTHER INCOME
An important source of the Company's revenue is derived from other
income. The following table sets forth the major components of other income
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):
THREE MONTHS ENDED

Other .............. 306 338 (32)
Total other income $1,610 $1,768 $ (158)
* Total non-interest income decreased to $1,610,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, compared to $1,768,000 for the same period in 1999.
* Trust revenues increased $32,000 or 6.7% to $513,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, compared to $481,000 for the same period in 1999.
Trust assets, reported at market value, were $330 million at March 31,
2000, $324 million at December 31, 1999 and $305 million at March 31, 1999.
* Revenues from brokerage and annuity sales increased $17,000 or 14.2% for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared with the same period in
1999 as a result of increased sales of annuities.
* Fees from service charges increased $92,000 or 18.4% to $592,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $500,000 for the same period
in 1998. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of
savings and transaction accounts and an increase in the fees charges on
deposit accounts.
* Mortgage banking income decreased $267,000 or 81.2% to $62,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $329,000 for the same period
in 1999. This decrease was due to the lower number of fixed rate loans
originated and sold by First Mid Bank. This decrease in volume is largely
attributed to fewer re-financings by customers as a result of rising
interest rates. Loan sold balances are as follows: * $3.0 million
(representing 41 loans) as of March 31, 2000 * $21.6 million (representing
253 loans) as of March 31, 1999
* Other income decreased $32,000 or 9.5% to $306,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, compared to $338,000 for the same period in 1999.
OTHER EXPENSE
The major categories of other expense include salaries and employee
benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and other operating expenses
associated with day-to-day operations. The following table sets forth the major

* Total non-interest expense increased to $4,896,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, compared to $4,368,000 for the same period in 1999.
* Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other expense,
increased $257,000 or 11.4% to $2,510,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000, compared to $2,253,000 for the same period in 1999. This increase
can be explained by:
* an increase in FTE employees to 272 at March 31, 2000 from 252 at
March 31, 1999, primarily due to the acquisition of Monticello,
Taylorville, and DeLand branch facilities
* merit increases for continuing employees
* Occupancy and equipment expense increased $109,000 or 14.2% to $878,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $769,000 for the same
period in 1999. This increase included depreciation expense recorded on
technology equipment placed in service as well as the depreciation expense
on buildings in Monticello, Taylorville, DeLand, and Tuscola.
* Amortization of intangible assets increased $111,000 or 58.1% to $302,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $191,000 for the
same period in 1999. This increase was due to the goodwill and core deposit
intangibles associated with the purchase of the Monticello, Taylorville and
DeLand branch acquisition in May, 1999.
* All other categories of operating expenses decreased a net of $51,000 or
4.5% to $1,180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to
$1,129,000 for the same period in 1999.
INCOME TAXES
Total income tax expense amounted to $633,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, compared to $643,000 for the same period in 1999. Effective tax
rates were 30.7% and 32.2% for the periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS
LOANS
The loan portfolio is the largest category of the Company's earning assets.
The following table summarizes the composition of the loan portfolio as of March
31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 (in thousands):
March 31, December 31,
2000 1999
Real estate - mortgage $278,212 $273,293
Commercial, financial
and agricultural ... 92,950 89,176
Installment .......... 24,818 24,501
Other ................ 1,562 1,349
Total loans ........ $397,542 $388,319
At March 31, 2000, the Company had loan concentrations in agricultural
industries of $59.6 million, or 15.0%, of outstanding loans and $59.5 million,
or 15.3%, at December 31, 1999. The Company had no further industry loan
concentrations in excess of 10% of outstanding loans.
Real estate mortgage loans have averaged approximately 70% of the Company's
total loan portfolio for the past several years. This is the result of a strong
local housing market and the Company's historical focus on residential real
estate lending. The balance of real estate loans held for sale amounted to $1.4
million as of March 31, 2000.
The following table presents the balance of loans outstanding as of March
31, 2000, by maturities (dollars in thousands):

Total loans ............... $119,173 $229,832 $ 48,537 $397,542
(1) Based on scheduled principal repayments
(2) Includes demand loans, past due loans and overdrafts.
As of March 31, 2000, loans with maturities over one year consisted of
$243,053,000 in fixed rate loans and $35,316,000 in variable rate loans. The
loan maturities noted above are based on the contractual provisions of the
individual loans. Rollovers and borrower requests are handled on a case-by-case
basis.
NONPERFORMING LOANS
Nonperforming loans include: (a) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis;
(b) accruing loans contractually past due ninety days or more as to interest or
principal payments; and loans not included in (a) and (b) above which are
defined as "renegotiated loans".
The following table presents information concerning the aggregate amount of
nonperforming loans at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 (in thousands):
March 31, December 31,
2000 1999
Nonaccrual loans ........... $1,610 $1,430
Loans past due ninety days
or more and still accruing 1,303 366
Renegotiated loans which are
performing in accordance
with revised terms ....... 77 81
Total Nonperforming Loans .. $2,990 $1,877
Approximately $705,000 of the total loans past due ninety days or more and
still accruing are commercial and commercial real estate loans to three
unrelated borrowers. Management is closely monitoring the status of these loans.
The Company's policy generally is to discontinue the accrual of interest
income on any loan for which principal or interest is ninety days past due and
when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the timely
collection of interest or principal. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual
status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the
borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely
collection of interest or principal.
LOAN QUALITY AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of the
reserve necessary to adequately cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
provision for loan losses is the charge against current earnings that is
determined by management as the amount needed to maintain an adequate allowance
for loan losses. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses,
and therefore the provision to be charged to current earnings, management relies
predominantly on a disciplined credit review and approval process which extends
to the full range of the Company's credit exposure. The review process is
directed by overall lending policy and is intended to identify, at the earliest
possible stage, borrowers who might be facing financial difficulty. Once
identified, the magnitude of exposure to individual borrowers is quantified in
the form of specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. Collateral
values are considered by management in the determination of such specific
allocations. Additional factors considered by management in evaluating the
overall adequacy of the allowance include historical net loan losses, the level
and composition of nonaccrual, past due and renegotiated loans and the current
economic conditions in the region where the Company operates.
Management recognizes that there are risk factors which are inherent in the
Company's loan portfolio. All financial institutions face risk factors in their
loan portfolios because risk exposure is a function of the business. The
Company's operations (and therefore its loans) are concentrated in east central
Illinois, an area where agriculture is the dominant industry. Accordingly,
lending and other business relationships with agriculture-based businesses are
critical to the Company's success. At March 31, 2000, the Company's loan
portfolio included $59.6 million of loans to borrowers whose businesses are
directly related to agriculture. The balance remained stable from $59.5 million
at December 31, 1999. While the Company adheres to sound underwriting practices
including collateralization of loans, an extended period of low commodity prices
could nevertheless result in an increase in the level of problem agriculture
loans.
Loan loss experience for the period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, are
summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Company minimizes credit risk by adhering to sound underwriting and
credit review policies. These policies are reviewed at least annually, and
changes are approved by the board of directors. Senior management is actively
involved in business development efforts and the maintenance and monitoring of
credit underwriting and approval. The loan review system and controls are
designed to identify, monitor and address asset quality problems in an accurate
and timely manner. On a monthly basis, the board of directors reviews the status
of problem loans. In addition to internal policies and controls, regulatory
authorities periodically review asset quality and the overall adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses.
During the first three months of 2000, the Company had net charge-offs of
$20,000, compared to $105,000 for the same period in 1999. At March 31, 2000,
the allowance for loan losses amounted to $3,069,000, or .77% of total loans,
and 102.6% of nonperforming loans. At March 31, 1999, the allowance was
$2,760,000, or .82% of total loans, and 92.1% of nonperforming loans.
SECURITIES
The Company's overall investment goal is to maximize earnings while
maintaining liquidity in securities having minimal credit risk. The types and
maturities of securities purchased are primarily based on the Company's current
and projected liquidity and interest rate sensitivity positions. The following
table sets forth the amortized cost of the securities for March 31, 2000 and
December 31, 1999 (in thousands):

The weighted average yields are calculated on the basis of the cost and
effective yields weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security. Full
tax-equivalent yields have been calculated using a 34% tax rate.
The maturities of, and yields on, mortgage- backed securities have been
calculated using actual repayment history. However, where securities have call
features, and have a market value in excess of par value, the call date has been
used to determine the expected maturity.
With the exception of obligations of the U.S. Treasury and other U.S.
Government agencies and corporations, there were no investment securities of any
single issuer the book value of which exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity at
March 31, 2000.
Investment securities carried at approximately $126,057,000 and
$124,368,000 at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively, were pledged
to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements and for other purposes as
permitted or required by law.
DEPOSITS
Funding the Company's earning assets is substantially provided by a
combination of consumer, commercial and public fund deposits. The Company
continues to focus its strategies and emphasis on retail core deposits, the

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are short-term obligations
of First Mid Bank. First Mid Bank collateralizes these obligations with certain
government securities which are direct obligations of the United States or one
of its agencies. First Mid Bank offers these retail repurchase agreements as a
cash management service to its corporate customers.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances represent borrowings by First Mid Bank to
economically fund loan demand. This loan demand was previously funded primarily
through deposits by the State of Illinois. The fixed term advances consists
primarily of the following:
* $5 million advance with a 10-year maturity, a six month call option by
the Federal Home Loan Bank and an interest rate of 5.20%
* $3 million advance with a 5-year maturity, a six month call option by
the Federal Home Loan Bank and an interest rate of 5.85%
* $5 million advance with a 5-year maturity and an interest rate of
6.16%
INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The Company seeks to maximize its net interest margin within an acceptable
level of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk can be defined as the amount of
forecasted net interest income that may be gained or lost due to favorable or
unfavorable movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk, or sensitivity,
arises when the maturity or repricing characteristics of assets differ
significantly from the maturity or repricing characteristics of liabilities.
The Company monitors its interest rate sensitivity position to maintain a
balance between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. This
balance serves to limit the adverse effects of changes in interest rates. The
Company's asset/liability management committee oversees the interest rate
sensitivity position and directs the overall allocation of funds.
In the banking industry, a traditional measurement of interest rate
sensitivity is known as "GAP" analysis, which measures the cumulative
differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities maturing or repricing
at various intervals. The following table sets forth the Company's interest rate
repricing gaps for selected maturity periods at March 31, 2000 (in thousands):

Cumulative ......................... (40.9%) (41.0%) (44.7%) (40.0%) 12.4%
At March 31, 2000, the Company was liability sensitive on a cumulative
basis through the twelve- month time horizon. Accordingly, future increases in
interest rates, if any, could have an unfavorable effect on the net interest
margin. The Company's ability to lag the market in repricing deposits in a
rising interest rate environment eases the implied liability sensitivity of the
Company.
Interest rate sensitivity using a static GAP analysis basis is only one of
several measurements of the impact of interest rate changes on net interest
income used by the Company. Its actual usefulness in assessing the effect of
changes in interest rates varies with the constant changes which occur in the
composition of the Company's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
For this reason, the Company uses financial models to project interest income
under various rate scenarios and assumptions relative to the prepayments,
reinvestment and roll overs of assets and liabilities, of which First Mid Bank
represents substantially all of the Company's rate sensitive assets and
liabilities.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2000, the Company's stockholders' equity increased $1,075,000
or 2.1% to $52,593,000 from $51,518,000 as of December 31, 1999. During the
first three months of 2000, net income contributed $1,430,000 to equity before
the payment of dividends to common stockholders. The change in net unrealized
gain/loss on available-for-sale investment securities decreased stockholders'
equity by $52,000, net of tax.
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Bank holding companies follow
minimum regulatory requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board, First
Mid Bank follows similar minimum regulatory requirements established for
national banks by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly
additional discretionary action by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Quantitative measures established by each regulatory agency to ensure
capital adequacy require the reporting institutions to maintain a minimum total
risk-based capital ratio of 8% and a minimum leverage ratio of 3% for the most
highly-rated banks that do not expect significant growth. All other institutions
are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4%. Management believes
that as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 all capital adequacy
requirements have been met by the Company and First Mid Bank.
As of March 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the primary
regulators categorized the Company and First Mid Bank as well capitalized under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage
ratios must be maintained as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have changed these
categories.

Banks and bank holding companies are generally expected to operate at or
above the minimum capital requirements. These ratios are in excess of regulatory
minimums and will allow the Company to operate without capital adequacy
concerns.
STOCK PLANS
The Company has four plans through which Company stock may be purchased by
participants, the Deferred Compensation Plan, the First Retirement and Savings
Plan, the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and the Stock Incentive Plan. For more
detailed information on these plans, refer to the Company's 1999 Form 10- K.
* The DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN was effective as of September, 1984. Its
purpose is to allow directors, advisory directors, and key officers to
defer a portion of the fees and cash compensation paid by the Company as a
means of maximizing the effectiveness and flexibility of compensation
arrangements.
* The FIRST RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN was effective beginning in 1985.
Employees are eligible to participate in this plan after nine months of
service to the Company.
* The DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN was effective as of October, 1994. The
purpose of this plan is to provide participating stockholders with a simple
and convenient method of investing cash common stock dividends paid by the
Company into newly-issued common shares of the Company. All holders of
record of the Company's common stock are eligible to participate. This plan
is administered by Harris Trust and Savings Bank and offers a way to
increase one's investment in the Company.
* The STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN was established by the Company in December, 1997,
and is intended to provide a means whereby directors and certain officers
can acquire shares of the Company's common stock. A maximum of 100,000
shares have been authorized under this plan. Options to acquire shares will
be awarded at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the
shares on the date of grant. Options to acquire shares have a 10-year term.
Options granted to employees vest over a four year period and those options
granted to directors vest at the time they are issued.
The Company announced a Stock Repurchase Program in August, 1998 to allow
the Company to repurchase up to 3% of its common stock. In March, 2000, the
Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of an additional 5%.
The shares will be repurchased at the most recent market price of the stock. The
Company repurchased 20,623 shares (.9%) at a total price of $677,000 during the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 9,696 shares (.4%) at a total price of $337,000
for the year ended December 31, 1999. A total of 43,858 shares have been
repurchased from the inception of this program to March 31, 2000, and are held
in treasury.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity represents the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to
meet the requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals. Liquidity
management focuses on the ability to obtain funds economically for these
purposes and to maintain assets which may be converted into cash at minimal
costs. Other sources for cash include deposits of the State of Illinois and
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At March 31, 2000, the excess collateral at the
Federal Home Loan Bank will support approximately $70 million of additional
advances.
Management monitors its expected liquidity requirements carefully, focusing
primarily on cash flows from:
* lending activities, including loan commitments, letters of credit and
mortgage prepayment assumptions
* deposit activities, including seasonal demand of private and public
funds
* investing activities, including prepayments of mortgage-backed
securities and call provisions on U.S. Government Treasuries and
Agencies
* operating activities, including scheduled debt repayments and
dividends to shareholders
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
Unlike industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of
the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more
significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of general
levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or experience the same magnitude of changes as goods and services,
since such prices are effected by inflation. In the current economic
environment, liquidity and interest rate adjustments are features of the
Company's assets and liabilities which are important to the maintenance of
acceptable performance levels. The Company attempts to maintain a balance
between monetary assets and monetary liabilities, over time, to offset these
potential effects.
FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES," ("SFAS 133") was issued by the
FASB in September 1998. SFAS 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts. Under the standard, entities are required to carry all derivative
instruments in the statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting
for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument
depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging
relationship and, if so, on the reason for holding it. If certain conditions are
met, entities may elect to designate a derivative instrument as a hedge of
exposures to changes in fair values, cash flows, or foreign currencies. If the
hedged exposure is a fair value exposure, the gain or loss on the derivative
instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change together with the
offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the risk being
hedged. If the hedged exposure is a cash flow exposure, the effective portion of
the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported initially as a
component of other comprehensive income (outside earnings) and subsequently
reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any
amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness as well as the
ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately.
Accounting for foreign currency hedges is similar to the accounting for fair
value and cash flow hedges. If the derivative instrument is not designated as a
hedge, the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the period of change.
During September, 1999, the FASB issued the Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 137, "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
- -- DEFERRAL OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 133 -- AN AMENDMENT OF
FASB STATEMENT NO. 133," ("SFAS 137") that delays SFAS 133 until fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Adoption of SFAS 133 is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.
PENDING LITIGATION
Heartland Savings Bank, a subsidiary of the Company that merged with First
Mid Bank during 1997, filed a complaint on December 5, 1995, against the U.S.
Government which is now pending in the U.S. Court of Federal claims in
Washington D.C. Refer to "PART II, ITEM 1, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS".
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no material changes in the market risks faced by the Company
since December 31, 1999. For information regarding the Company's market risk,
refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since First Mid Bank acts as depositories of funds, it is named from time
to time as a defendant in law suits (such as garnishment proceedings) involving
claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts. Management believes
that all such litigation as well as other pending legal proceedings constitute
ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of First Mid Bank and
that such litigation will not materially adversely affect the Company's
consolidated financial condition.
In addition to the normal proceedings referred to above, Heartland Savings
Bank ("Heartland"), a subsidiary of the Company that merged with First Mid Bank
during 1997, filed a complaint on December 5, 1995, against the U.S. Government
which is now pending in the U.S. Court of Federal claims in Washington D.C. This
complaint relates to Heartland's interest as successor to Mattoon Federal
Savings and Loan Association which incurred a significant amount of supervisory
goodwill when it acquired Urbana Federal Savings and Loan in 1982. The complaint
alleges that the Government breached its contractual obligations when, in 1989,
it issued new rules which eliminated supervisory goodwill from inclusion in
regulatory capital. On August 6, 1998, First Mid Bank filed a motion with the
U.S. Court of Federal claims to grant summary judgement on liability for breach
of contract in this matter. On August 13, 1998, the U.S. Government filed a
motion to stay such proceedings. At this time, it is too early to tell if First
Mid Bank will prevail in its motion and, if so, what damages, if any, may be
recovered.
