Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Website The Company maintains a website at www.firstmid.com. All periodic and
current reports of the Company and amendments to these reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") can be accessed, free of charge,
through this website as soon as reasonably practicable after these materials are
filed with the SEC.
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"), The Checkley Agency, Inc.
("Checkley") and First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, N.A. ("First Mid Bank"). All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The financial information reflects all adjustments, which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
the interim periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and all such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature. Certain amounts in the prior year's consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2004
presentation and there was no impact on net income or stockholders' equity. The
results of the interim period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative
of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. The Company
operates as a one-segment entity for financial reporting purposes.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not
include all of the information required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America 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 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Stock Split
On July 16, 2004, the Company effected a three-for-two stock split in the form
of a 50% stock dividend for all shareholders of record as of July 6, 2004. Par
value remained at $4 per share. All current and prior period share and per share
amounts have been restated giving retroactive recognition to the stock split.
The stock split increased the Company's outstanding common shares as of June 30,
2004 from 2,981,539 to 4,472,308 shares.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidated Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46"). The
objective of FIN 46 is to provide guidance on how to identify a variable
interest entity and determine when the assets, liabilities, non-controlling
interests, and results of operations of a variable interest in an entity need to
be included in a company's consolidated financial statements. A company that
holds variable interests in an entity will need to consolidate the entity if the
company's interest in the variable interest entity is such that the company will
absorb a majority of the variable interest entity's losses and/or receive a
majority of the entity's expected residual returns, if they occur. FIN 46 also
requires additional disclosures by primary beneficiaries and other significant
variable interest holders. The provisions of FIN 46 must be applied to an
interest held in a variable interest entity or potential variable interest
entity at the end of the first interim period after December 31, 2003. The
adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (Revised),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46R"), which provides
further guidance on the accounting for variable interest entities. The
provisions of FIN 46R must be applied to an interest held in a variable interest
entity or potential variable interest entity at the end of the first interim
period after December 31, 2003. Upon adoption of FIN 46R, the Company was
required to de-consolidate its investment in First Mid-Illinois Statutory Trust
I ("Trust"), a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. On February 27, 2004, the Company completed the issuance and sale of
$10 million of floating rate capital securities ("trust preferred") through the
Trust as part of a pooled offering. The $10 million in proceeds from the Trust
Preferred issuance and an additional $310,000 for the Company's investment in
common equity of the Trust, a total of $10,310 000, was invested in junior
subordinated debentures of the Company. The Trust Preferred held by the Trust
presently qualify as Tier I Capital for regulatory capital purposes. The
adoption of FIN 46R and the de-consolidation of the Trust did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Currently, the Company does not have any other investments affected by FIN 46R.
On December 16, 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or
Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer" ("SOP 03-3"). SOP 03-3 provides guidance
on the accounting for differences between contractual and expected cash flows
from the purchaser's initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in
a transfer, if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit
quality. Among other things, SOP 03-3: (1) prohibits the recognition of the
excess of contractual cash flows over expected cash flows as an adjustment of
yield, loss accrual, or valuation allowance at the time of purchase; (2)
requires that subsequent increases in expected cash flows be recognized
prospectively through an adjustment of yield; and (3) requires the subsequent
decreases in expected cash flows be recognized as an impairment. In addition,
SOP 03-3 prohibits the creation or carrying over of a valuation allowance in the
initial accounting of all loans within its scope that are acquired in a
transfer. SOP 03-3 becomes effective for loans or debt securities acquired in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The Company does not expect the
requirements of SOP 03-3 to have a material impact on its financial position or
results of operations.

Earnings Per Share
A three-for-two common stock split was effected on July 16, 2004, in the form of
a 50% stock dividend for the stockholders of record at the close of business on
July 6, 2004. Accordingly, information with respect to shares of common stock
and earnings per share has been restated for current and prior periods presented
to fully reflect the stock split. Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated
as net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of the Company's stock
options, unless anti-dilutive. The components of basic and diluted earnings per
common share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
were as follows:

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, the Company performed testing of
goodwill for impairment as of September 30, 2003, and determined that, as of
that date, goodwill was not impaired. Management also concluded that the
remaining amounts and amortization periods were appropriate for all intangible
assets.
Stock Incentive Plan
The Company accounts for its Stock Incentive Plan in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For
Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Accordingly,
compensation cost based on fair value at grant date has not been recognized for
its stock options in the consolidated financial statements. As required by SFAS
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" as amended by SFAS 148,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure," the
Company provides pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share
disclosures for employee stock option grants. The following table illustrates
the effect on net income if the fair value based method had been applied (in

Overview
This overview of management's discussion and analysis highlights selected
information in this document and may not contain all of the information that is
important to you. For a more complete understanding of trends, events,
commitments, uncertainties, liquidity, capital resources, and critical
accounting estimates, you should carefully read this entire document. These have
an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Net income was $4,752,000 and $4,484,000 and diluted earnings per share was
$1.03 and $.93 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The increase in net income was primarily the result of higher net interest
income. The increase in earnings per share was the result of a decrease in the
number of shares outstanding due to share repurchases made through our stock
buy-back program. In the first half of 2004, the Company acquired 283,651 shares
at a total investment of $9,026,000. The following table shows the Company's
annualized performance ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003,
compared to the performance ratios for the year ended December 31, 2003:
Six months ended Year ended
June 30, June 30, December 31,
2004 2003 2003
------------- ------------- ----------------
Return on average assets 1.20% 1.17% 1.17%
Return on average equity 14.09% 13.15% 13.11%
Average equity to average assets 8.50% 8.89% 8.94%
Total assets at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were $801.9 million and
$793.6 million, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of an
increase in loan portfolio balances. Net loan balances were $571.5 million at
June 30, 2004, an increase of $23.1 million, or 4.2%, from $548.4 million at
December 31, 2003, primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans.
Total deposit balances increased to $630.5 million at June 30, 2004 from $615.0
million at December 31, 2003.
Net interest margin, defined as net interest income divided by average
interest-earning assets, was 3.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, up
from 3.68% for the same period in 2003. The increase in the net interest margin
is attributable to the increase in the loan portfolio balances since June 30,
2003, which offset declines in yields of loans and securities, combined with
decreases in the cost of deposits. Net interest income before the provision for
loan losses was $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
$13.1 million for the same period in 2003. In 2004, the growth in earning assets
primarily composed of the loan growth and net interest margin expansion from the
decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased net interest
income. During the first quarter of 2004, the Company also recovered $85,000 in
interest on an agricultural real estate loan that had been charged-off in a
prior period.
Noninterest income decreased $429,000, or 6.8%, to $5.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $6.3 million in 2003. The primary cause
of this decrease was a decline in mortgage banking revenue due to the slowing of
refinancings in early 2004. Also, the Company received $370,000 in gains on the
sale of securities during the first six months of 2003, compared to $92,000 in
gains on the sale of securities in the second quarter of 2004. These declines
were partially offset by an increase in trust and brokerage revenues due to
improvement in equity prices and growth in new business.
Noninterest expense increased 2.8% or $333,000, to $12.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $12.1 million in 2003. The primary factor
in the expense increase was increased salaries and benefits expense, increases
in marketing and promotion expense due to new products rolled out in the second
quarter and increases in accounting and legal professional fees incurred in
implementing the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Following is a summary of the factors that contributed to the changes in net
income (in thousands):
2004 versus 2003

Increase in net income $ 241 268
================== ==================
Credit quality is an area of importance to the Company and the first half of
2004 reflected favorable results in this area. Total nonperforming loans were
$2.2 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $5.7 million at June 30, 2003. At
June 30, 2004, the composition of the loan portfolio remained similar to the
same period last year. Net charge-offs were 0.11% of average loans compared to
..04% in 2003. During the second quarter of 2003, the Company received a recovery
of $382,000 on two commercial real estate loans of a single borrower. Loans
secured by both commercial and residential real estate comprised 72% and 70% of
the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company's capital position remains strong and the Company has consistently
maintained regulatory capital ratios above the "well-capitalized" standards. The
Company's Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio calculated under the
regulatory risk-based capital requirements at June 30, 2004 and 2003 was 10.73%
and 10.05%, respectively. The Company's total capital to risk weighted assets
ratio calculated under the regulatory risk-based capital requirements at June
30, 2004 and 2003 was 11.50% and 10.82%, respectively. The increase in 2004 was
the result of the issuance of trust preferred securities by First Mid-Illinois
Statutory Trust I ("Trust"), which qualify as Tier I capital for the Company
under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. The Trust invested the proceeds of the
issuance in junior subordinated debentures of the Company. This was partially
offset by a decline in equity as a result of the increase in the number of
shares repurchased under the Company's stock repurchase program.
The Company's liquidity position remains sufficient to fund operations and meet
the requirements of borrowers, depositors, and creditors. The Company maintains
various sources of liquidity to fund its cash needs. See discussion under the
heading "Liquidity" for a full listing of sources and anticipated significant
contractual obligations. The Company enters into financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of its customers. These financial instruments include lines of credit,
letters of credit and other commitments to extend credit. The total outstanding
commitments at June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $91.2 million and $98.8 million,
respectively.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company has established various accounting policies that govern the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in
the preparation of the Company's financial statements. The significant
accounting policies of the Company are described in the footnotes to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2003 Annual Report
on Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and
assumptions by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of
certain assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to
be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by
management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the
judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from
these judgments and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the
carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the
Company.
The Company believes the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting
policy that requires the most significant judgments and assumptions used in the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements. In estimating the
allowance for loan losses, management utilizes historical experience, as well as
other factors, including the effect of changes in the local real estate market
on collateral values, the effect on the loan portfolio of current economic
indicators and their probable impact on borrowers, and increases or decreases in
nonperforming and impaired loans. Changes in these factors may cause
management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses to increase or decrease
and result in adjustments to the Company's provision for loan losses. See
heading "Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses" for a more detailed
description of the Company's estimation process and methodology related to the
allowance for loan losses.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
The largest source of 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.
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

(1) Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been
allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to
rate.
(2) Nonaccrual loans are not material and have been included in the average
balances.
Net interest income increased $969,000, or 7.4% to $14,074,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2004, from $13,105,000 for the same period in 2003. The
increase in net interest income was primarily due to growth in earning assets
primarily composed of loan growth and net interest margin expansion from the
decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The Company also recovered
$85,000 in interest on an agricultural loan that had been charged-off in a prior
period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, average earning assets increased by
$27.0 million, or 3.8%, and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $24.0
million, or 3.9%, compared with average balances for the same period in 2003.
Changes in average balances are shown below:
< Average loans increased by $46.0 million or 9.0% in 2004 compared to
2003.
< Average securities increased by $2.8 million or 1.7% in 2004 compared
to 2003.
< Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $11.2 million or 2.1%
in 2004 compared to 2003.
< Average securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by
$10.7 million or 25.5% in 2004 compared to 2003.
< Average borrowings and other debt decreased by $5.1 million or 12.4%
in 2004 compared to 2003.
< Net interest margin increased to 3.81% in 2004 from 3.68% in 2003.
To compare the tax-exempt yields on interest-earning assets to taxable yields,
the Company also computes non-GAAP net interest income on a tax equivalent basis
(TE) where the interest earned on tax-exempt securities is adjusted to an amount
comparable to interest subject to normal income taxes assuming a federal tax
rate of 34% (referred to as the tax equivalent adjustment). The net yield on
interest-earning assets (TE) was 3.89% in 2004 and 3.77% in 2003. The TE
adjustments to net interest income for June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $311,000 and
$326,000, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was
$375,000 compared to $500,000 for the same period in 2003. The decrease in the
provision was primarily due to a decrease in non-performing loans. Nonperforming
loans decreased from $5,678,000 as of June 30, 2003 to $2,205,000 as of June 30,
2004. Net charge-offs were $296,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004
compared to $101,000 during the same period in 2003. For information on loan
loss experience and nonperforming loans, see discussion under the "Nonperforming
Loans" and "Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses" sections below.
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
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

============= ============= ============= ============= ============= =============
Following are explanations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
the same period in 2003:
< Trust revenues increased $57,000 or 11.7% to $546,000 from $489,000. Trust
assets, at market value, were $351 million at June 30, 2004 compared to
$330 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in trust revenues was the
result of new business and an increase in equity prices.
< Revenues from brokerage increased $50,000 or 74.6% to $117,000 from $67,000
as a result of an increase in the number of stock transactions.
< Insurance commissions decreased $8,000 or 2.3% to $346,000 from $354,000
due to a decrease in commissions received on sales of business property and
casualty insurance.
< Fees from service charges increased $93,000 or 8.5% to $1,193,000 from
$1,100,000. This was primarily the result of continued increases in
overdraft fees through the Company's Payment Privilege program. Under
Payment Privilege, overdrafts up to a limit of $500 are paid for qualifying
customers in exchange for a fee. A greater number of overdrafts paid has
resulted in an increase in fee income.
< The sale of a security in the second quarter of 2004 resulted in net
security gains of $92,000. There were no sales of securities resulting in
net security gains during the same period in 2003.
< Mortgage banking income decreased $297,000 or 66.1% to $152,000 from
$449,000. This decrease was due to the declining volume of fixed rate loans
originated and sold by First Mid Bank. The decrease in volume is largely
attributed to the slowdown in mortgage refinancing activity. Loans sold
balances are as follows:
< $14.4 million (representing 158 loans) for the 2nd quarter of 2004.
< $36.5 million (representing 390 loans) for the 2nd quarter of 2003.
First Mid Bank generally releases the servicing rights on loans sold into the
secondary market.
< Other income decreased $14,000 or 2.7% to $497,000 from $511,000.
Following are explanations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
the same period in 2003:
< Trust revenues increased $217,000 or 23.0% to $1,162,000 from $945,000.
Trust assets, at market value, were $351 million at June 30, 2004 compared
to $330 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in trust revenues was the
result of new business and an increase in equity prices.
< Revenues from brokerage increased $103,000 or 83.1% to $227,000 from
$124,000 as a result of an increase in the number of stock transactions.
< Insurance commissions decreased $2,000 or 0.3% to $776,000 from $778,000
due to a decrease in commission on sales of business property and casualty
insurance.
< Fees from service charges increased $179,000 or 8.4% to $2,317,000 from
$2,138,000. This was primarily the result of continued increases in
overdraft fees through the Company's Payment Privilege program. Under
Payment Privilege, overdrafts up to a limit of $500 are paid for qualifying
customers in exchange for a fee. A greater number of overdrafts paid has
resulted in an increase in fee income.
< The sale of a security during the six months ended June 30, 2004 resulted
in net security gains of $92,000 compared to $370,000 during the same
period of 2003.
< Mortgage banking income decreased $693,000 or 73.8% to $246,000 from
$939,000. This decrease was due to the declining volume of fixed rate loans
originated and sold by First Mid Bank. The decrease in volume is largely
attributed to the slowdown in mortgage refinancing activity. Loans sold
balances are as follows:
< $22.6 million (representing 243 loans) for the six-month period ended June
30, 2004.
< $75.4 million (representing 827 loans) for the six-month period ended June
30, 2003.
First Mid Bank generally releases the servicing rights on loans sold into the
secondary market.
< Other income increased $45,000 or 4.6% to $1,021,000 from $976,000. This
increase was primarily due to prior years' income tax refunds received
during the first quarter of 2004.
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 components of
other expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

============ ============= ============= =========== ============ =============
Following are explanations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
the same period in 2003:
< Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other expense,
increased $42,000 or 1.3% to $3,371,000 from $3,329,000. This increase is
primarily due to merit increases for continuing employees. There were 309
full-time equivalent employees at June 30, 2004 compared to 317 at June 30,
2003.
< Occupancy and equipment expense increased $26,000 or 2.5% to $1,086,000
from $1,060,000, primarily due to increased property taxes.
< Other operating expenses increased $1,000 or 0.1% to $978,000 in 2004 from
$977,000 in 2003.
< All other categories of operating expenses increased a net of $32,000 or
4.2% to $801,000 from $769,000. The increase was primarily due to increased
legal and professional fees resulting from the provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and increased marketing and promotion expense
due to new deposit products rolled out in the second quarter of 2004.
Following are explanations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to
the same period in 2003:
< Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other expense,
increased $149,000 or 2.3% to $6,709,000 from $6,560,000. This increase is
primarily due to merit increases for continuing employees and related
benefit expenses. There were 309 full-time equivalent employees at June 30,
2004 compared to 317 at June 30, 2003.
< Occupancy and equipment expense increased $36,000 or 1.7% to $2,159,000
from $2,123,000, primarily due to increased property taxes.
< Other operating expenses increased $81,000 or 4.2% to $2,009,000 in 2004
from $1,928,000 in 2003. This increase was a result of increases in various
operating expenses during the six-month period.
< All other categories of operating expenses increased a net of $67,000 or
4.6% to $1,527,000 from $1,460,000. The increase was primarily due to
increased legal and professional fees resulting from the provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, increased marketing and promotion expense due
to new deposit products rolled out in the second quarter of 2004 and from
fees associated with the issuance of trust preferred securities, the
proceeds of which were invested in junior subordinated debentures of the
Company, during the first quarter of 2004.
Income Taxes
Total income tax expense amounted to $2,384,000 (33.4% effective tax rate) for
the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $2,320,000 (34.1% effective tax
rate) for the same period in 2003. The decrease in the effective tax rate in
2004 compared to 2003 is due to an increase in state tax-exempt interest income
from U.S. agency securities.
Analysis of Balance Sheets
Loans
The loan portfolio (net of unearned interest) is the largest category of the
Company's earning assets. The following table summarizes the composition of the
loan portfolio as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 (in thousands):
June 30, December 31,

Other 2,313 1,442
----------------------------------
Total loans $576,041 $552,824
==================================
Overall loans increased $23.2 million, or 4.2% as a result of an increase in
commercial real estate loans. Total 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 the Company's focus on commercial real estate
lending and long-term commitment to residential real estate lending. The balance
of real estate loans held for sale amounted to $1,260,000 and $751,000 as of
June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
At June 30, 2004, the Company had loan concentrations in agricultural industries
of $85.5 million, or 14.8%, of outstanding loans and $93.3 million, or 18.1%, at
December 31, 2003. In addition, the Company had loan concentrations in the
following industries as of June 30, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003 (dollars

(1) Based on scheduled principal repayments.
(2) Includes demand loans, past due loans and overdrafts.
As of June 30, 2004, loans with maturities over one year consisted of
approximately $235,144,000 in fixed rate loans and $106,406,000 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 are defined as: (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 (c) loans not included in (a) and (b) above
which are defined as "renegotiated loans". The Company's policy is to cease
accrual of interest on all loans that become ninety days past due as to
principal or interest. 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.
The following table presents information concerning the aggregate amount of
nonperforming loans at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 (in thousands):
June 30, December 31,

-------------- ---------------
Total nonperforming loans $2,205 $3,331
============== ===============
At June 30, 2004, approximately $1,146,000 of nonperforming loans resulted from
collateral-dependent loans to two borrowers. The $1,126,000 decrease in
nonaccrual loans during the six months ended June 30, 2004 resulted from the net
of $499,000 of loans put on nonaccrual status, $1,574,000 of loans brought
current or paid-off, $33,000 of loans charged-off and $18,000 of loans
transferred to other real estate owned.
Interest income that would have been reported if nonaccrual and renegotiated
loans had been performing totaled $79,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004
and $211,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003.
Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of the
reserve necessary to adequately cover probable losses 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 allowance for loan
losses that is adequate but not excessive. 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 that 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 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. Management considers collateral values in the determination of such
specific allocations. Additional factors considered by management in evaluating
the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses 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 considers the allowance for loan losses a critical
accounting policy.
Management recognizes that there are risk factors that 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 June 30, 2004, the Company's loan
portfolio included $85.5 million of loans to borrowers whose businesses are
directly related to agriculture. The balance decreased by $7.8 million from
$93.3 million at December 31, 2003. While the Company adheres to sound
underwriting practices, including collateralization of loans, any extended
period of low commodity prices, significantly reduced yields on crops and/or
reduced levels of government assistance to the agricultural industry could
result in an increase in the level of problem agriculture loans and potentially
result in loan losses within the agricultural portfolio.
The Company has $28.4 million of loans to motels, hotels and tourist courts. The
performance of these loans is dependent on borrower specific issues as well as
the general level of business and personal travel within the region. While the
Company adheres to sound underwriting standards, a prolonged period of reduced
business or personal travel could result in an increase in nonperforming loans
to this business segment and potentially in loan losses. The Company also has
$18.7 million of loans to operators of non-residential buildings and $20.5
million of loans to apartment building owners.
Analysis of the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and of
changes in the allowance for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004

During the first six months of 2004, the Company had charge-offs of $118,000 on
two commercial loans of a single borrower and charge-offs of $124,000 on two
commercial real estate loans of a single borrower. During 2003, the Company had
charge-offs of $170,000 on a commercial building loan and $80,000 on an
agricultural operating loan secured by crops and real estate. The Company also
received a recovery of $382,000 on two commercial real estate loans of a single
borrower.
The Company minimizes credit risk by adhering to sound underwriting and credit
review policies. Management and the board of directors of the Company review
these policies at least annually. 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 quarterly basis, the board of directors and management review the
status of problem loans and determine the adequacy of the allowance. In addition
to internal policies and controls, regulatory authorities periodically review
asset quality and the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
Securities
The Company's overall investment objectives are to insulate the investment
portfolio from undue credit risk, maintain adequate liquidity, insulate capital
against changes in market value and control excessive changes in earnings while
optimizing investment performance. The types and maturities of securities
purchased are primarily based on the Company's current and projected liquidity
and interest rate sensitivity positions.

attributable to an increase in brokered CDs of $20 million.
Balances of time deposits of $100,000 or more includes brokered CDs, time
deposits maintained for public fund entities, and consumer time deposits. The
balance of brokered CDs was $43.8 million and $22.9 million as of June 30, 2004
and December 31, 2003, respectively. The Company also maintained time deposits
for the State of Illinois with balances of $5.3 million and $6.3 million as of
June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The State of Illinois
deposits are subject to bid annually and could increase or decrease in any given
year.
Repurchase Agreements and Other Borrowings
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are short-term obligations of
First Mid Bank. First Mid Bank collateralizes these obligations with certain
government securities that 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. Other borrowings consist of
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, federal funds purchased, loans
(short-term or long-term debt) that the Company has outstanding and junior
subordinated debentures.

< $5 million advance at 4.33% with a 10-year maturity, due November 23, 2011
Other debt, both short-term and long-term, represents the outstanding loan
balances for the Company. At June 30, 2004, outstanding loan balances include
$6,500,000 on a revolving credit agreement with The Northern Trust Company with
a floating interest rate of 1.25% over the federal funds rate (2.30% as of June
30, 2004) and set to mature October 23, 2004. The loan has a maximum available
balance of $15 million. The loan is secured by all of the common stock of First
Mid Bank. The credit agreement contains requirements for the Company and First
Mid Bank to maintain various operating and capital ratios and also contains
requirements for prior lending approval for certain sales of assets, merger
activity, the acquisition or issuance of debt, and the acquisition of treasury
stock. The Company and First Mid Bank were in compliance with the existing
covenants at June 30, 2004 and at December 31, 2003.
The balance also includes a $600,000 balance remaining on a promissory note
resulting from the acquisition of Checkley with an annual interest rate equal to
the prime rate listed in the money rate section of the Wall Street Journal
(4.00% as of June 30, 2004) and principal payable annually over five years, with
a final maturity of January 2007.
On February 27, 2004, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $10 million
of floating rate trust preferred securities through First Mid-Illinois Statutory
Trust I (the "Trust"), a statutory business trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company, as part of a pooled offering. The Company established the Trust for
the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. Upon adoption of FIN 46R,
the Company was required to de-consolidate its investment in the Trust. The $10
million in proceeds from the trust preferred issuance and an additional $310,000
for the Company's investment in common equity of the Trust, a total of $10,310
000, was invested in junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The
underlying junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company to the Trust
mature in 2034, bear interest at six-month London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") plus 280 basis points, reset quarterly, and are callable, at the
option of the Company, at par on or after April 7, 2009. The Company intends to
use the proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes. The trust
preferred securities issued by the Trust are included as Tier 1 capital of the
Company for regulatory capital purposes. On July 2, 2003, the Federal Reserve
Board issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue
to include the trust preferred securities in the calculation of Tier 1 capital
for regulatory purposes until further notice. As a result of the issuance of FIN
46R, the Federal Reserve Board is currently evaluating whether de-consolidation
of the Trust will affect the qualification of the trust preferred securities as
Tier 1 capital. If it is determined that the trust preferred securities no
longer qualify as Tier 1 capital, the Company would still be classified as
well-capitalized.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The Company seeks to maximize its net interest margin while maintaining 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
changes in the interest rate environment, a variable over which management has
no control. Interest rate risk, or sensitivity, arises when the maturity or
repricing characteristics of interest-bearing assets differ significantly from
the maturity or repricing characteristics of interest-bearing 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 (ALCO) oversees the interest rate
sensitivity position and directs the overall allocation of funds.
In the banking industry, a traditional way to measure potential net interest
income exposure to changes in interest rates is through a technique known as
"static GAP" analysis which measures the cumulative differences between the
amounts of assets and liabilities maturing or repricing at various intervals. By
comparing the volumes of interest-bearing assets and liabilities that have
contractual maturities and repricing points at various times in the future,
management can gain insight into the amount of interest rate risk embedded in
the balance sheet.
The following table sets forth the Company's interest rate repricing gap for
selected maturity periods at June 30, 2004 (dollars in thousands):

The static GAP analysis shows that at June 30, 2004, the Company was asset
sensitive, on a cumulative basis, through the twelve-month time horizon. This
indicates that future increases in interest rates, if any, could have a positive
effect on net interest income. Conversely, future decreases in interest rates
could have an adverse effect on net interest income.
There are several ways the Company measures and manages the exposure to interest
rate sensitivity, including static GAP analysis. The Company's ALCO also uses
other financial models to project interest income under various rate scenarios
and prepayment/extension assumptions consistent with First Mid Bank's historical
experience and with known industry trends. ALCO meets at least monthly to review
the Company's exposure to interest rate changes as indicated by the various
techniques and to make necessary changes in the composition terms and/or rates
of the assets and liabilities. Based on all information available, management
does not believe that changes in interest rates, which might reasonably be
expected to occur in the next twelve months, will have a material adverse effect
on the Company's net interest income.
Capital Resources
At June 30, 2004, the Company's stockholders' equity had decreased $5,155,000 or
7.3% to $65,440,000 from $70,595,000 as of December 31, 2003. During the first
six months of 2004, net income contributed $4,752,000 to equity before the
payment of dividends to common stockholders. The change in market value of
available-for-sale investment securities decreased stockholders' equity by
$1,521,000, net of tax. Additional purchases of treasury stock (283,651 shares
at an average cost of $34.22 per share) decreased stockholders' equity by
$9,026,000.
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 Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System ("Federal Reserve System"), and First Mid Bank follows similar
minimum regulatory requirements established for national banks by the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). 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 June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company and First Mid Bank
met all capital adequacy requirements.
The trust preferred securities issued by First Mid-Illinois Statutory Trust I
are included as Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.
On July 2, 2003, the Federal Reserve Board issued a supervisory letter
instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred
securities in the calculation of Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes until
further notice. As a result of the issuance of FIN 46R, the Federal Reserve
Board is currently evaluating whether de-consolidation of the Trust will affect
the qualification of the trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital. If it is
determined that the trust preferred securities no longer qualify as Tier 1
capital, the Company would still be classified as well-capitalized.
As of June 30, 2004, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized 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 following table (dollars in thousands). There are no conditions
or events since that notification that management believes have changed this
categorization.

Banks and financial holding companies are expected to operate at or above the
minimum capital requirements. These ratios are in excess of regulatory minimums
and allow the Company to operate without capital adequacy concerns.
Stock Plans
Participants may purchase Company stock under the following four plans of the
Company: 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 2003 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
On August 5, 1998, the Company announced a stock repurchase program for up to 3%
of its common stock. In March 2000, the Board approved the repurchase of an
additional 5% of the Company's common stock. In September 2001, the Board
approved the repurchase of $3 million of additional shares of the Company's
common stock and in August 2002, the Board approved the repurchase of $5 million
of additional shares of the Company's common stock. In September 2003, the Board
approved the repurchase of $10 million of additional shares of the Company's
common stock. On April 27, 2004, the Board approved the repurchase of an
additional $5 million shares of the Company's common stock, bringing the
aggregate total on June 30, 2004 to 8% of the Company's common stock plus $23
million of additional shares.
During the six-month period ending June 30, 2004, the Company repurchased
283,651 shares at a total price of $9,026,000. On February 9, 2004, the Company
acquired as treasury stock, a total of 150,000 shares of outstanding common
stock from three shareholders pursuant to privately negotiated transactions.
Total consideration for these shares amounted to $4,750,000. Since 1998, the
Company has repurchased a total of 1,081,080 shares at a total price of
$23,561,000. As of June 30, 2004, the Company was authorized per all repurchase
programs to purchase $5,645,000 in additional shares.
Liquidity
Liquidity represents the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to meet all
present and future financial obligations arising in the daily operations of the
business. Financial obligations consist of the need for funds to meet extensions
of credit, deposit withdrawals and debt servicing. The Company's liquidity
management focuses on the ability to obtain funds economically through assets
that may be converted into cash at minimal costs or through other sources. The
Company's other sources of cash include overnight federal fund lines, Federal
Home Loan Bank advances, deposits of the State of Illinois, the ability to
borrow at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and the Company's operating line
of credit with The Northern Trust Company. Details for the sources include:
< First Mid Bank has $17 million available in overnight federal fund lines,
including $10 million from Harris Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago and $7
million from The Northern Trust Company. Availability of the funds is
subject to First Mid Bank meeting minimum regulatory capital requirements
for total capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to total
average assets. As of June 30, 2004, First Mid Bank's ratios of total
capital to risk-weighted assets of 11.88% and Tier 1 capital to total
average assets of 8.26% exceeded minimum regulatory requirements.
< First Mid Bank can also borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank as a source
of liquidity. Availability of the funds is subject to the pledging of
collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank. Collateral that can be pledged
includes one-to-four family residential real estate loans and securities.
At June 30, 2004, the excess collateral at the Federal Home Loan Bank will
support approximately $50 million of additional advances.
< First Mid Bank also receives deposits from the State of Illinois. The
receipt of these funds is subject to competitive bid and requires
collateral to be pledged at the time of placement.
< First Mid Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and can
borrow funds provided that sufficient collateral is pledged.
< In addition, the Company has a revolving credit agreement in the amount of
$15 million with The Northern Trust Company. The Company has an outstanding
balance of $6,500,000 as of June 30, 2004, and $8,500,000 in available
funds. The credit agreement matures on October 23, 2004. The agreement
contains requirements for the Company and First Mid Bank to maintain
various operating and capital ratios and for prior lender approval for
certain sales of assets, merger activity, the acquisition or issuance of
debt, and the acquisition of treasury stock. The Company and First Mid Bank
were in compliance with the existing covenants at June 30, 2004.
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 agency securities;
and
< operating activities, including scheduled debt repayments and dividends to
stockholders.
The following table summarizes significant contractual obligations and other
commitments at June 30, 2004 (in thousands):

-------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------
$364,951 $235,249 $57,669 $52,215 $19,818
============== =============== =============== =============== ==============
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, net cash of $6.7 million and $4.9
million was provided from operating activities and financing activities,
respectively, while investing activities used net cash of $16.9 million. In
total, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.3 million since year-end 2003.
Generally, during 2004, the funding of loans and purchases of available-for-sale
securities decreased cash balances. On February 27, 2004, the Company completed
the issuance and sale of $10 million of floating rate trust preferred securities
through First Mid-Illinois Statutory Trust I (the "Trust"), a statutory business
trust and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as part of a pooled offering.
The Company established the Trust for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred
securities. Upon adoption of FIN 46R, the Company was required to de-consolidate
its investment in the Trust. The $10 million in proceeds from the trust
preferred issuance and an additional $310,000 for the Company's investment in
common equity of the Trust, a total of $10,310 000, was invested in junior
subordinated debentures of the Company. The underlying junior subordinated
debentures issued by the Company to the Trust mature in 2034, bear interest at
three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 280 basis points, reset
quarterly, and are callable, at the option of the Company, at par on or after
April 7, 2009. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the offering for
general corporate purposes. The trust preferred securities issued by the Trust
are included as Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes.
Management believes that it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its
contractual obligations as well as to provide for contingencies that might
reasonably be expected to occur.
First Mid Bank enters into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include lines of credit, letters of credit and other
commitments to extend credit. Each of these instruments involves, to varying
degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk in excess of the
amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses the same
credit policies and requires similar collateral in approving lines of credit and
commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does in making loans. The
exposure to credit losses on financial instruments is represented by the
contractual amount of these instruments. However, the Company does not
anticipate any losses from these instruments.
The off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent
credit risk at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows (in
thousands):
June 30, December 31,
2004 2003
-------------- --------------
Unused commitments, including lines of credit:
Commercial real estate $ 25,399 $ 24,283
Commercial operating 30,207 32,928
Home equity 14,948 13,207
Other 17,937 14,991
-------------- --------------
Total $ 88,491 $ 85,409
============== ==============
Standby letters of credit $ 2,682 $ 2,440
============== ==============
Commitments to originate credit represent approved commercial, residential real
estate and home equity loans that generally are expected to be funded within
ninety days. Lines of credit are agreements by which the Company agrees to
provide a borrowing accommodation up to a stated amount as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. Both commitments
to originate credit and lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or
other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
lines and some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the financial performance of customers to third parties. Standby
letters of credit are primarily issued to facilitate trade or support borrowing
arrangements and generally expire in one year or less. The credit risk involved
in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in
extending credit facilities to customers. The maximum amount of credit that
would be extended under letters of credit is equal to the total off-balance
sheet contract amount of such instrument.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no material change in the market risk faced by the Company since
December 31, 2003. 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, 2003.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of
the Company's and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries' "disclosure controls and
procedures" (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end
of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers
have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the
Company's and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries' disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in bringing to their attention on a timely basis
material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated
subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic filings under
the Exchange Act. Further, there have been no changes in the Company's internal
controls over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected or that are reasonably likely to affect materially the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Since First Mid Bank acts as a depository of funds, it is named from time to
time as a defendant in lawsuits (such as garnishment proceedings) involving
claims as to the ownership of funds in particular accounts. Management believes
that all such litigation as well as other pending legal proceedings in which the
Company is involved constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the
business of the Company and that such litigation will not materially adversely
affect the Company's consolidated financial condition.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY

of its common stock. In March 2000, the Board approved the repurchase of an
additional 5% of the Company's common stock. In September 2001, the Board

million of additional shares.
