The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted within the United States of America for interim financial data and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the fiscal year. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation's management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 8 of 38 NOTE 2: LOANS The major classifications of loans as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows: June 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 ------------- ----------------- (Dollars in thousands) Commercial $ 213,124 $ 138,272 Real estate construction 222,054 168,141 Real estate - farmland 10,460 11,890 Real estate - 1-4 family residential mortgage 451,678 406,102 Real estate - multifamily mortgage 97,688 91,325 Real estate - non-farm nonresidential mortgage 362,379 292,169 Installment 69,666 61,323 Agricultural 23,574 22,300 ------------- ---------- $ 1,450,623 $1,191,522 Plus net deferred loan costs 837 874 ------------- ---------- 1,451,460 1,192,396 Less: Allowance for loan losses 18,313 16,228 ------------- ---------- Net loans $ 1,433,147 $1,176,168 ============= ========== The real estate-mortgage category includes loans held for sale with carrying values of $28,089,000 at June 30, 2004 and $30,529,000 at December 31, 2003. 9 of 38 NOTE 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE* Net income per common share has been computed as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2004 2003 2004 2003 ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------- Net income $ 5,541,000 $ 5,356,000 $ 10,90 $ 10,198,000 Shares: Weighted average common shares outstanding 20,334,312 20,358,036 20,345,961 20,342,037 Dilutive effect of outstanding options, as determined by the application of the treasury stock method 143,809 181,399 144,420 176,139 ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------- Weighted average common shares outstanding, as adjusted for diluted earnings per share calculation 20,478,121 20,539,435 20,490,381 20,518,176 =========== =========== =========== ============= Basic earnings per share $ 0.27 $ 0.26 $ 0.54 $ 0.50 =========== =========== =========== ============= Diluted earnings per share $ 0.27 $ 0.26 $ 0.53 $ 0.50 =========== =========== =========== ============= * Share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to effect a three-for-two stock split declared on July 23, 2004, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2003. NOTE 4: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION* First Busey Corporation applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 in accounting for stock options and discloses the fair value of options granted as permitted by SFAS No. 123. The Corporation has recorded no compensation expense associated with stock options as all options granted under its plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the common stock when granted. The following summarizes the pro-forma effects assuming compensation expense had been recorded based upon the estimated fair value: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, --------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands except per share data ) 2004 2003 2004 2003 ------- ------ ------- --------- NET INCOME AS REPORTED $ 5,541 $5,356 $10,901 $ 10,198 Less compensation expense determined under fair value method for all options granted, net of related tax effects 88 64 145 128 ------- ------- ------- --------- Pro-forma net income $ 5,453 $5,292 $10,756 $ 10,070 ======= ======= ======= ========= BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE Reported net income $ 0.27 $ 0.26 $ 0.54 $ 0.50 Less compensation expense - - 0.01 - ------- ------- ------- --------- Pro-forma net income $ 0.27 $ 0.26 $ 0.53 $ 0.50 ======= ======= ======= ========= DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE Reported net income $ 0.27 $ 0.26 $ 0.53 $ 0.50 Less compensation expense - - 0.01 0.01 ------- ------- ------- --------- Pro-forma net income $ 0.27 $ 0.26 $ 0.52 $ 0.49 ======= ======= ======= ========= 10 of 38 In April, 2004, the Corporation granted 54,000 stock options (retroactively adjusted to effect a three-for-two common stock split declared on July 23, 2004, as if it had occurred prior to issuance of options). The fair value of the stock options granted has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: Number of options granted* 54,000 Risk-free interest rate 1.41% Expected life, in years 4.67 Expected volatility 18.20% Expected dividend yield 2.80% Estimated fair value per option* $ 2.04 *Share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to effect a three-for-two common stock split declared on July 23, 2004, as if it had occurred prior to issuance of options. NOTE 5: JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT OWED TO UNCONSOLIDATED TRUST In June 2001, First Busey Corporation issued $25 million in cumulative trust preferred securities through a newly formed Delaware business trust, First Busey Capital Trust I. The proceeds of the offering were invested by First Busey Capital Trust I in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of the Corporation. The trust is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, and its sole assets are the junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. Distributions are cumulative and are payable quarterly at a rate of 9.00% per annum. Interest expense on the trust preferred securities was $1,125,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003. Prior redemption is permitted under certain circumstances such as changes in tax and investment company regulations. The obligations of the trust are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by the Corporation. The trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the debentures on June 18, 2031, and are callable beginning June 18, 2006. Issuance costs of $1,340,000 related to the trust preferred debentures were deferred and are being amortized over the period until mandatory redemption of the debentures in June 2031. Prior to the implementation of a new accounting standard in the first quarter of 2004, the financial statements of the Trust were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation because First Busey owns all of the outstanding common equity securities of the Trust. However, because First Busey is not the primary beneficiary of the Trust, in accordance with the new accounting standard the financial statements of the Trust are no longer included in the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation. The Corporation's prior financial statements have been reclassified to de-consolidate the Corporation's investment in the Trust. There was no cumulative effect on stockholders' equity as a result of this adoption. In April 2004, First Busey Corporation, through First Busey Statutory Trust II, issued $15 million of trust preferred securities ("Securities") in a private placement. The Securities were issued at an initial coupon rate of 3.82875%, pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly, and are subject to repricing on a quarterly basis (3-month LIBOR plus 2.65%). The proceeds of the offering were invested by First Busey Statutory Trust II in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of First Busey Corporation which represents all of the assets of the Trust. The Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the junior subordinated debentures at the stated maturity or their earlier redemption, in each case at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Securities plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption. Prior redemption is permitted under certain circumstances, such as changes in tax and investment company regulations, and is subject to payment of premium above par value if made within five years of issuance. The obligations of the trust are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by the Corporation. The trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes. 11 of 38 First Busey Corporation used the proceeds of these debentures for general corporate purposes and to partially fund the acquisition of First Capital Bankshares, Inc. On January 6, 2004, the Board of Directors of First Busey Corporation entered into an agreement with the Board of Directors of First Capital Bankshares, Inc. to acquire all of the issued and outstanding stock of First Capital for approximately $42 million or $5,750 per share. The acquisition closed on June 1, 2004. NOTE 6: OUTSTANDING COMMITMENTS The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers in the way of commitments to extend credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the contractual amount of the Corporation's exposure to off-balance sheet risk follows: June 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 ------------- ----------------- (Dollars in thousands) Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Commitments to extend credit $ 347,556 $ 286,037 Standby letters of credit 13,050 11,682 Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. These commitments are generally at variable interest rates and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The customer's credit worthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including bond financing and similar transactions, and primarily have terms of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Corporation holds collateral, which may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, income producing properties, supporting those commitments if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Corporation would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Corporation could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment is funded, the Corporation would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. As of June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Corporation's potential obligations under these guarantees. 12 of 38 NOTE 7: SUBSEQUENT EVENT On July 23, 2004, First Busey Corporation's Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split. The stock split will be effected in the form of a 50% dividend to be issued on August 3, 2004, for shareholders of record at the close of business on August 2, 2004. Fractional share amounts resulting from the split will be paid to shareholders in cash. Share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted as if the stock split had occurred on January 1, 2003. NOTE 8: BUSINESS COMBINATION On June 1, 2004, First Busey Corporation acquired all the outstanding common stock of First Capital Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiary First Capital Bank, a $239,000,000 bank headquartered in Peoria, Ilinois. This acquisition expands the Corporation's banking presence in central Illinois into Peoria and surrounding communities. The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations of both entities since the acquisition date have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The purchase price of $42,072,000 was allocated based upon the fair value of the assets acquired. The excess of the total acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired has been allocated to core deposit intangible and goodwill. The core deposit intangible of $2,648,000 is being amortized over a period of ten years.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition of First Busey Corporation and Subsidiaries ("Corporation") at June 30, 2004 (unaudited), as compared with December 31, 2003 and the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited), and the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (unaudited). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. Certain reclassifications have been made to the balances, with no effect on net income, as of and for the three and six months ending June 30, 2003, to be consistent with the classifications adopted as of and for the three and six months ending June 30, 2004. Share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to effect a three-for-two common stock split declared on July 23, 2004, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2003. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES Critical accounting estimates are those that are critical to the portrayal and understanding of the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations and require management to make assumptions that are difficult, subjective or complex. These estimates involve judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are susceptible to change. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending on the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES First Busey Corporation has established an allowance for loan losses which represents the Corporation's estimate of the probable losses that have occurred as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Management has established an allowance for loan losses which reduces the total loans outstanding by an estimate of uncollectible loans. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged against and reduce the allowance. Periodically, a provision for loan losses is charged to current expense. This provision acts to replenish the allowance for loan losses and to maintain the allowance at a level that management deems adequate. There is no precise method of predicting specific loan losses or amounts which ultimately may be charged off on segments of the loan portfolio. The determination that a loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Similarly, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses can be determined only on a judgmental basis, after full review, including (a) consideration of economic conditions and their effect on particular industries and specific borrowers; (b) a review of borrowers' financial data, together with industry data, the competitive situation, the borrowers' management capabilities and other factors; (c) a continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio, including monitoring by lending officers and staff credit personnel of all loans which are identified as being of less than acceptable quality; (d) an in-depth evaluation, on a monthly basis, of all impaired loans (loans are considered to be impaired when based on current information and events, it is probable the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due); and (e) an evaluation of the underlying collateral for secured lending, including the use of independent appraisals of real estate properties securing loans. Periodic provisions for loan losses are determined by management based upon the size and the quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions and historical loan loss experience and also based on 14 of 38 specific exposures in the portfolio. Management has instituted a formal loan review system supported by an effective credit analysis and control process. The Corporation will maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb estimated uncollectible loans and, therefore, expects to make periodic additions to the allowance for loan losses. REVENUE RECOGNITION Income on interest-earning assets is accrued based on the effective yield of the underlying financial instruments. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due. The accrual of interest income on impaired loans is discontinued when there is reasonable doubt as to the borrower's ability to meet contractual payments of interest or principal. FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2004 AS COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2003 Total assets increased $352,974,000 or 23.2%, to $1,875,058,000 at June 30, 2004 from $1,522,084,000 at December 31, 2003. Of the increase in total assets, $241,319,000 is attributable to the acquisition of First Capital Bank. Securities available for sale increased $59,800,000, or 26.6%, to $284,533,000 at June 30, 2004 from $224,733,000 at December 31, 2003. The First Capital Bank acquisition contributed $49,285,000 to the increase in securities available for sale. Loans increased $259,064,000, or 21.7%, to $1,451,460,000 at June 30, 2004 from $1,192,396,000 at December 31, 2003, primarily due to increases in commercial, real estate construction, 1-4 family residential mortgage, and non-farm non residential mortgage loans. Of the increase in total loans, $149,611,000 is attributable to the acquisition of First Capital Bank. Total deposits increased $226,602,000, or 18.0%, to $1,483,197,000 at June 30, 2004 from $1,256,595,000 at December 31, 2003. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased 13.1% to $181,599,000 at June 30, 2004 from $160,578,000 at December 31, 2003. Interest-bearing deposits increased 18.8% to $1,301,598,000 at June 30, 2004, from $1,096,017,000 at December 31, 2003. At acquisition, First Capital Bank added $147,084,000 in total deposits, $12,876,000 of which were noninterest-bearing. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased to $35,480,000 as of June 30, 2004, from $7,500,000 as of December 31, 2003. At acquisition, First Capital had $26,707,000 in securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Other short-term borrowings increased to $14,250,000 with the addition of short-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. The balance of long-term debt increased $72,314,000 to $165,167,000 as of June 30, 2004, compared to $92,853,000 as of December 31, 2003. Of this increase, $30,000,000 is in the form of a note payable which matures in June 2011, the proceeds of which were used to partially fund the acquisition of First Capital Bankshares of Peoria, Illinois, and $23,322,000 was acquired with the addition of First Capital Bank. During the first six months of 2004, the Corporation repurchased 103,650 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $1,886,000. Following the purchase of these shares the corporation has repurchased 719,034 shares under its 2001 Stock Repurchase Plan. On February 27, 2004, First Busey's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan for the repurchase of 750,000 shares of common stock. Through June 30, 2004, the Corporation has made no repurchases under the 2004 plan. The corporation is purchasing shares for the treasury as they become available in order to meet future issuance requirements of previously granted non-qualified stock options. As of June 30, 2004, there were 187,800 options currently exercisable. There were an additional 395,925 stock options outstanding but not currently exercisable. 15 of 38 ASSET QUALITY The following table sets forth the components of non-performing assets and past due loans. June 30, 2004 December 31, 2003 ------------- ----------------- (Dollars in thousands) Non-accrual loans $ 2,030 $ 2,638 Loans 90 days past due, still accruing 1,121 581 Restructured loans - - Other real estate owned 4,886 4,781 Non-performing other assets 25 10 -------- ------- Total non-performing assets $ 8,062 $ 8,010 ======== ======= Total non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets 0.43% 0.53% ======== ======= Total non-performing assets as a percentage of loans plus non-performing assets 0.55% 0.67% ======== ======= Loans 90 days past due and still accruing were $1,121,000 or 0.08% of total loans as of June 30, 2004, compared to $581,000 or 0.05% of total loans as of December 31, 2003. The balance of other real estate owned increased to $4,886,000 as of June 30, 2004, compared to $4,781,000 as of December 31, 2003. In September, 2003, upon completion of foreclosure proceedings, Busey Bank became owner of a hotel property in Bloomington, Illinois. In December, 2003, ownership of this property was transferred to First Busey Resources, Inc., a nonbank subsidiary of First Busey Corporation. The carrying value of this hotel property, included in other real estate owned, was $4,013,000 as of June 30, 2004 and $4,006,000 as of December 31, 2003. POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS Potential problem loans are those loans which are not categorized as impaired, non-accrual, past due or restructured, but where current information indicates that the borrower may not be able to comply with present loan repayment terms. Management assesses the potential for loss on such loans as it would with other problem loans and has considered the effect of any potential loss in determining its provision for loan losses. Potential problem loans totaled $8,048,000 at June 30, 2004, as compared to $10,566,000 as of December 31, 2003. There are no other loans identified which management believes represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. There are no other credits identified about which management is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrower(s) to comply with the loan repayment terms. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004, AS COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2003 SUMMARY Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, increased 6.9% to $10,901,000 as compared to $10,198,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Year-to-date diluted earnings per share increased 6.0% to $0.53 for the six months ending June 30, 2004, as compared to $0.50 for the same period in 2003. As a result of the common stock split announced on July 23, 2004, and payable on August 2, 2004, all share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to effect a three-for-two stock split as if it had occured on January 1, 2003. The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 1.43% for the comparable period in 2003. The Corporation's return on average shareholders' equity was 17.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 17.23% for the same period in 2003. 16 of 38 EARNING ASSETS, SOURCES OF FUNDS, AND NET INTEREST MARGIN Average earning assets increased $138,287,000 or 10.3% to $1,484,228,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2004, as compared to $1,345,941,000 for the same period last year. This growth is due primarily to growth in the average balance of loans offset partially by declines in the average balances of Federal funds sold and investment securities. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $1,283,096,000 during the first six months of 2004, an increase of $116,751,000 or 10.0% from the average balance of $1,166,345,000 for the same period in 2003. This growth is due primarily to growth in the average balances of money market deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Income on interest-earning assets is accrued on the effective yield of the underlying financial instruments. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Corporation will not be able to collect all amounts due. The accrual of interest income on impaired loans is discontinued when there is reasonable doubt as to the borrower's ability to meet contractual payments of interest or principal. Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $1,940,000 or 8.0% to $26,262,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $24,322,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Net interest margin, the Corporation's net interest income, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 3.64% for the comparable period in 2003. The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average total assets, also on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 3.41% for the comparable period in 2003. Interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $38,774,000, which is $959,000 or 2.5% higher than the $37,815,000 earned during the comparable period in 2003. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined 41 basis points to 5.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 5.66% for the comparable period in 2003. Growth in the average balance of loans was partially offset by the declines in yield on loans and U.S. Government obligation investments. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $12,512,000, which is $981,000 or 7.3% lower than the $13,493,000 for the comparable period in 2003. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined 37 basis points to 1.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 2.33% for the comparable period in 2003. The average rate paid on all categories of interest-bearing liabilities were lower during the first six months of 2004 than in the comparable period in 2003. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The Corporation's provision for loan losses of $1,080,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004, is $150,000 more than the $930,000 recorded during the comparable period in 2003. The provision and net charge-offs of $1,064,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2004, resulted in the allowance representing 1.26% of total loans and 581% of non-performing loans as of June 30, 2004, as compared to the allowance representing 1.36% of outstanding loans and 504% of non-performing loans as of December 31, 2003. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2004 were $1,064,000 compared to $63,000 for the comparable period in 2003. The net chargeoff ratio (net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans) was 0.17% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2004, reflecting an increase from 0.01% for the same period in 2003. Of the net chargeoffs recognized during the first six months of 2004, $850,000 was related to one commercial customer. Busey Bank has an additional balance o $560,000 included in nonaccrual loans to this customer as of June 30, 2004. This remaining balance represents the expected net realizable value of outstanding accounts receivable which have been pledged as collateral on these loans. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistent with management's consideration of the composition of the portfolio, non-performing asset levels, recent credit quality experience, historic charge-off trends, and prevailing economic conditions among other factors. 17 of 38 OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE, AND INCOME TAXES Total other income, excluding security gains, decreased $2,007,000 or 15.4% to $11,040,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $13,047,000 for the same period in 2003. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in gains on the sale of mortgage loans which was only partially offset by growth in trust fees, commissions and brokers' fees, service charges, and other operating income. During the first six months of 2004 the Corporation recognized $1,281,000 on the sale of $90,711,000 in mortgage loans compared to $4,474,000 on the sale of $237,329,000 of loans during the prior year period. The interest-rate and debt markets have strong influence on the level of mortgage loan origination and sales volumes. As interest rates have risen, origination and sales activity related to home purchases has remained strong while refinancing activity has slowed considerably. While mortgage loan originations and sales volumes are down considerable from 2003, management anticipates continued sales from current production. The Corporation may realize gains and/or losses on these sales dependent upon interest-rate movements and upon how receptive the debt markets are to mortgage-backed securities. Income recognized on service charges, trust fees, commissions, and loan gains is recognized based on contractual terms and are accrued based on estimates, or are recognized as transactions occur or services are provided. Income from the servicing of sold loans is recognized based on estimated asset valuations and transaction volumes. While these estimates and assumptions may be considered complex, First Busey has implemented controls and processes to ensure the accuracy of these accruals. During the second quarter of 2003, the Corporation recorded a valuation allowance of $215,000 to the carrying value of its mortgage servicing assets as loans in the Corporation's sold loan portfolio were prepaying more rapidly than anticipated when the loans were sold. Mortgage servicing asset amortization of $851,000 and the valuation allowance of $215,000 were recorded as charges against the servicing income on sold mortgage loans and were included in other operating income. The Corporation recorded no such adjustment in 2004, but has recognized amortization expense of $588,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004. During the six months ending June 30, 2004, the Corporation recognized security gains of approximately $415,000 after income taxes, representing 3.8% of net income. During the same period in 2003, security gains of approximately $180,000 after income taxes were recognized, representing 1.8% of net income. The Corporation owns a position in a qualified equity security with substantial appreciated value. First Busey's Board of Directors has authorized an orderly liquidation of this asset. Total other expenses decreased $703,000 or 3.5% to $19,663,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2004, compared to $20,366,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Salaries and wage expense decreased $512,000 or 5.3% to $9,124,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $9,636,000 during the same period last year. The decline in salary expense is due primarily to lower commission payments and other incentive compensation programs for associates involved in originating, processing, and selling mortgage loans held for sale. Other operating expenses decreased $616,000 or 14.0% to $3,787,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2004, as compared to $4,403,000 for the comparable period in 2003. During the first six months of 2003, Busey Bank recorded valuation adjustments of $637,000 on the carrying value of properties held in its other real estate owned inventory but has recorded no such adjustments in 2004. Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2004, increased to $5,740,000 as compared to $5,531,000 for the comparable period in 2003. As a percentage of income before taxes, the provision for income taxes decreased slightly to 34.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, from 35.2% for the comparable period in 2003. 18 of 38 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004, AS COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2003 SUMMARY Net income for three months ended June 30, 2004, increased $185,000 or 3.5% to $5,541,000 as compared to $5,356,000 for the three months ending June 30, 2003. Diluted earnings per share increased $.01 or 3.8% to $0.27 for the three months ending June 30, 2004, as compared to $0.26 for the comparable period in 2003. As a result of the common stock split announced on July 23, 2004, and payable on August 3, 2004, all share and per share data have been retroactively adjusted to effect a three-for-two stock split as if it had occured on January 1, 2003. The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.35% for the three-month period ending June 30, 2004, compared to 1.48% for the comparable period in 2003. The return on average shareholders' equity was 17.40% for the three-month period ending June 30, 2004, compared to 17.71% for the comparable period in 2003. EARNING ASSETS, SOURCES OF FUNDS, AND NET INTEREST MARGIN Average earning assets increased $186,298,000 or 13.7% to $1,545,837,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $1,359,539,000 for the comparable period last year. This is due primarily to growth in the average balance of outstanding loans. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $1,345,681,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $170,966,000 or 14.6% from the average balance of $1,174,715,000 for the comparable period in 2003. This growth is due to increases in the average balances of money market deposits, time deposits, long-term debt, and trust preferred securities. Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis, increased $1,438,000 or 11.8% to $13,611,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $12,173,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Net interest margin, the Corporation's net interest income, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 3.59% for the comparable period in 2003. The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average total assets, also on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 3.37% for the comparable period in 2003. Interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was $20,229,000, which is $1,406,000 or 7.5% higher than the $18,823,000 earned during the comparable period in 2003. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined 30 basis points to 5.25% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 5.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The decline in yields is due primarily to declines in the average yield earned on U.S. Government obligations and loans. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004, was $6,618,000, which is $32,000 or 0.5% lower than the $6,650,000 for the comparable period in 2003. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined 30 basis points to 1.97% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 2.27% for the comparable period in 2003. Declines in the average rate paid on all categories of interest-bearing liabilities offset growth in the average balances of deposits, long-term debt, and junior subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated trust. OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE, AND INCOME TAXES Total other income, excluding security transactions, declined $1,218,000 or 18.0% to $5,537,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $6,755,000 for the same period in 2003. A large decline in gains on the sales of loans was only partially offset by growth in trust fees, commissions and brokers' fees. Gains of $459,000 were recognized on the sale of $47,029,000 of mortgage loans during the three months ending 19 of 38 June 30, 2004, compared to gains of $2,239,000 on the sale of $118,783,000 in mortgage loans during the prior year period. During the three-month period ending June 30, 2004, the Corporation recognized security gains of approximately $299,000, after income taxes, representing 5.4% of net income. During the comparable period in 2003, security gains of approximately $70,000, after income taxes, were recognized, representing 1.3% of net income. Total other expenses increased $212,000 or 2.1% to $10,196,000 for the three months ending June 30, 2004, compared to $9,984,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Salaries and wage expense decreased $364,000 or 7.4% to $4,583,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to $4,947,000 during the same period last year. Again, the decline in salary and wage expense is due to reduced levels of compensation due to reduced mortgage production. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased $179,000 or 13.3% to $1,521,000 for the three-month period ending June 30, 2004, compared to $1,342,000 during the comparable period in 2003. Net occupancy expenses increased $219,000 or 30.7% to $933,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $714,000 for the comparable period in 2003 due to increased rent expense for temporary office space during branch remodeling combined with reduced receipts on property leased to non-related entities. Income taxes for the three-month period ending June 30, 2004, decreased to $2,936,000 as compared to $3,055,000 for the comparable period in 2003. As a percentage of income before taxes, the provision for income taxes decreased moderately to 34.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, from 36.3% for the comparable period in 2003.

First Capital Bank, acquired June 1, 2004, provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in Peoria and Pekin, Illinois. Busey Investment Group is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Busey Corporation and owns three subsidiaries: First Busey Trust & Investment Co. which provides trust and asset management services to individual and corporate customers throughout Central Illinois; First Busey Securities, Inc., a full-service broker/dealer subsidiary; and Busey Insurance Services, Inc., an insurance agency which provides personal insurance products and specializes in long-term healthcare insurance. In prior periods, First Busey has reported First Busey Trust & Investment Co. as a separate segment. Over time, the three subsidiaries of Busey Investment Group have converged and are now directed by a common management team in a similar operating style, share similar marketing strategies, and share common office locations. Likewise, the financial results of these three subsidiaries are reviewed and monitored on a consolidated basis. Therefore, management of First Busey Corporation has identified Busey Investment Group as the more appropriate reportable segment. The Corporation's four reportable segments are strategic business units that are separately managed as they offer different products and services and have different marketing strategies. The segment financial information provided below has been derived from the internal profitability reporting system used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Corporation. The accounting policies of the four segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the annual report. The Corporation accounts for intersegment revenue and transfers at current market value. 20 of 38 Following is a summary of selected financial information for the Corporation's business segments for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, and June 30, 2003: Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 2003 ----------- ----------- (dollars in thousands) Interest Income: Busey Bank $ 33,748 $ 35,069 Busey Bank Florida 3,430 1,988 First Capital Bank 848 - Busey Investment Group 72 76 All Other - 39 ----------- ----------- Total Interest Income $ 38,168 $ 37,172 ----------- ----------- Interest Expense: Busey Bank $ 9,752 $ 11,357 Busey Bank Florida 1,125 1,010 First Capital Bank 311 - Busey Investment Group - - All Other 1,324 1,126 ----------- ----------- Total Interest Expense $ 12,512 $ 13,493 ----------- ----------- Other Income: Busey Bank $ 7,754 $ 10,081 Busey Bank Florida 222 335 First Capital Bank 113 - Busey Investment Group 3,752 3,183 All Other (113) (253) ----------- ----------- Total Other Income $ 11,728 $ 13,346 ----------- ----------- Net Income: Busey Bank $ 10,157 $ 10,503 Busey Bank Florida 573 55 First Capital Bank 150 - Busey Investment Group 1,064 760 All Other (1,043) (1,120) ----------- ----------- Total Net Income $ 10,901 $ 10,198 ----------- ----------- Goodwill: Busey Bank $ 5,832 $ 5,832 Busey Bank Florida - - First Capital Bank 24,350 - Busey Investment Group - - All Other 1,548 1,548 ----------- ----------- Total Goodwill $ 31,730 $ 7,380 ----------- ----------- Net Assets: Busey Bank $ 1,469,209 $ 1,395,252 Busey Bank Florida 136,663 87,758 First Capital Bank 254,003 - Busey Investment Group 5,870 5,053 All Other 9,313 12,149 ----------- ----------- Total Assets $ 1,875,058 $ 1,500,212 ----------- ----------- 21 of 38 LIQUIDITY Liquidity management is the process by which the Corporation ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet the present and future cash flow obligations arising in the daily operations of the business. These financial obligations consist of needs for funds to meet commitments to borrowers for extensions of credit, funding capital expenditures, withdrawals by customers, maintaining deposit reserve requirements, servicing debt, paying dividends to shareholders, and paying operating expenses. The Corporation's most liquid assets are cash and due from banks, interest-bearing bank deposits, and Federal funds sold. The balances of these assets are dependent on the Corporation's operating, investing, lending and financing activities during any given period. The Corporation's primary sources of funds, consists of deposits, investment maturities and sales, loan principal repayment, deposits, and capital funds. Additional liquidity is provided by brokered deposits, bank lines of credit, repurchase agreements and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Corporation has an operating line with Bank One in the amount of $10,000,000, all of which was available as of June 30, 2004. Long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied primarily through retention of capital funds. An additional source of liquidity that can be managed for short-term and long-term needs is the Corporation's ability to securitize or package loans (primarily mortgage loans) for sale. During the first six months of 2004 the Corporation originated $86,104,000 and sold $90,711,000 in mortgage loans for sale compared to originations of $224,162,000 and sales of $237,329,000 during the first six months of 2003. As of June 30, 2004, the Corporation held $28,089,000 in loans held for sale. Management intends to sell these loans during the third quarter of 2004. On June 1, 2004, First Busey Corporation completed the acquisition of First Capital Bankshares, Inc. of Peoria, Illinois, the holding company of First Capital Bank. In order to partially fund this transaction, First Busey issued $15,000,000 in trust preferred securities through First Busey Statutory Trust II. These securities were issued in April 2004. In order to fund the rest of the $42,070,000 purchase price, First Busey borrowed funds in the form of a note payable which requires annual principal reductions of $4,000,000 and matures in June, 2011. The Corporation intends to review various alternatives for refinancing this note on a longer-term basis and will determine its course of action in 2005. The objective of liquidity management by the Corporation is to ensure that funds will be available to meet demand in a timely and efficient manner. Based upon the level of investment securities that reprice within 30 days and 90 days, management currently believes that adequate liquidity exists to meet all projected cash flow obligations. The Corporation achieves a satisfactory degree of liquidity through actively managing both assets and liabilities. Asset management guides the proportion of liquid assets to total assets, while liability management monitors future funding requirements and prices liabilities accordingly. The Corporation's banking subsidiaries routinely enter into commitments to extend credit in the normal course of their business. As of June 30, 2004, and 2003, the Corporation had outstanding loan commitments including lines of credit of $347,556,000 and $233,745,000, respectively. The balance of commitments to extend credit represents future cash requirement and some of these commitments may expire without being drawn upon. The Corporation anticipates it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments, including loan applications received and in process prior to the issuance of firm commitments. The Corporation has entered into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Such obligations generally relate to funding of operations through deposits, debt issuance, and property and equipment leases. 22 of 38 The following table summarizes significant contractual obligations and other commitments as of June 30, 2004: Securities Sold under Agreements to Junior Repurchase and Subordinated Short- and Debt Owed to Certificates Long-term Unconsolidated Due Within of Deposit Borrowings Leases Trust Total - ---------- ---------- ---------- ------ ----- ----- (Dollars in thousands) 1 year $ 374,979 $ 87,596 $ 862 $ - $ 463,437 2 years 95,938 20,418 804 - 117,160 3 years 95.013 28,223 782 - 124,018 4 years 35,660 35,373 661 - 71,694 5 years 24,661 22,373 356 - 47,390 Thereafter 253 20,914 319 40,000 61,486 ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- ----------- Total $ 626,504 $ 214,897 $ 3,784 $ 40,000 $ 885,185 ========== ========== ======== ========== =========== Commitments to extend credit $ 347,556 =========== Net cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $17,959,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $23,644,000 during the prior year period. Significant items affecting the cash flows provided by operating activities are net income, depreciation and amortization expense, the provision for loan losses, and activities related to the origination and sale of loans held for sale. Operating cash flow decreased during the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due primarily to lower mortgage loan sale activity. During the first six months of 2004 the Corporation originated $86,104,000 in loans held for sale and generated $91,992,000 from the sale of held-for-sale loans resulting in net cash provided by loan originations and sale of $5,888,000. During the comparable period in 2003, the Corporation originated $224,162,000 in held-for-sale loans and generated $241,803,000 from the sale of held-for-sale loans leading to net cash provided by loan originations and sale of $17,641,000. Net cash used in investing activities was $167,613,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $78,058,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Significant activities affecting cash flows from investing activities are those activities associated with managing the Corporation's investment portfolio, loans held in the Corporation's portfolio, and subsidiary or business unit acquisition activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, proceeds from the sales and maturities of securities classified as available for sale totaled $45,035,000, and the Corporation purchased $57,024,000 in securities resulting in net cash used by securities activity of $11,989,000. In the comparable period of 2003 proceeds from the sales and maturities of securities classified as available for sale totaled $132,740,000, and the Corporation purchased $145,571,000 in securities resulting in net cash used by securities activity of $12,831,000. The Corporation's loan portfolio increased $113,055,000 during the first six months of 2004, compared to an increase of $27,256,000 in the comparable period of 2003. During June, 2004, the Corporation purchased the outstanding shares of First Capital Bankshares resulting in the net use of $35,990,000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $144,499,000 during the first six months of 2004 compared to $52,640,000 for the comparable period in 2003. Significant items affecting cash flows from financing activities are deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Deposits, which are the Corporation's primary funding source, grew $78,518,000 during the first six months of 2004, compared to a net increase of $43,677,000 during the comparable period in 2003. The Corporation has increased its use of short-term and long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Banks of Chicago and Atlanta to partially fund loan growth. The Corporation issued junior subordinated debt and increased long-term debt to fund the acquisition of First Capital Bankshares in June, 2004. 23 of 38 CAPITAL RESOURCES Other than from the issuance of common stock, the Corporation's primary source of capital is retained net income. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Corporation earned $10,901,000 and paid dividends of $5,153,000 to stockholders, resulting in a retention of current earnings of $5,748,000. The Corporation's dividend payout for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was 47.3%. The Corporation and the Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve the quantitative measure of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2004, that the Corporation and the Banks meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk of change in asset values due to movements in underlying market rates and prices. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Corporation as other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Corporation's business activities. The Corporation's subsidiary banks, Busey Bank, Busey Bank Florida, and First Capital Bank have asset-liability committees which meet at least quarterly to review current market conditions and attempt to structure the banks' balance sheets to ensure stable net interest income despite potential changes in interest rates with all other variables constant. The asset-liability committees use gap analysis to identify mismatches in the dollar value of assets and liabilities subject to repricing within specific time periods. The Funds Management Policies established by the asset-liability committees and approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors establish guidelines for maintaining the ratio of cumulative rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities within prescribed ranges at certain intervals. Interest-rate sensitivity is a measure of the volatility of the net interest margin as a consequence of changes in market rates. The rate-sensitivity chart shows the interval of time in which given volumes of rate-sensitive earning assets and rate-sensitive interest-bearing liabilities would be responsive to changes in market interest rates based on their contractual maturities or terms for repricing. It is, however, only a static, single-day depiction of the Corporation's rate sensitivity structure, which can be adjusted in response to changes in forecasted interest rates. 30 of 38 The following table sets forth the static rate-sensitivity analysis of the Corporation as of June 30, 2004: Rate Sensitive Within ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-30 31-90 91-180 181 Days - Over Days Days Days 1 Year 1 Year Total ---- ---- ---- ------ ------ ----- (Dollars in thousands) Interest-bearing deposits $ 1,442 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 1,442 Federal funds sold 5,850 - - - - 5,850 Investment securities U.S. Governments 4,931 20,531 20,061 23,343 102,551 171,417 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 2,237 - 6,493 4,880 38,032 51,642 Other securities 16,588 1,750 2,450 7,530 33,156 61,474 Loans (net of unearned int.) 578,643 140,309 90,659 158,057 483,792 1,451,460 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- -------- ---------- Total rate-sensitive assets $ 609,691 $ 162,590 $ 119,663 $ 193,810 $657,531 $1,743,285 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- -------- ---------- Interest bearing transaction deposits $ 58,745 $ - $ - $ - $ - 58,745 Savings deposits 114,230 - - - - 114,230 Money market deposits 502,119 - - - - 502,119 Time deposits 89,012 52,025 109,424 151,626 224,417 626,504 Short-term borrowings: Repurchase agreements 35,480 - - - - 35,480 Other - 3,000 - 11,250 - 14,250 Long-term debt 5,074 2,000 6,000 27,248 124,845 165,167 Junior subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated trust - 15,000 - - 25,000 40,000 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- -------- ---------- Total rate-sensitive liabilities $ 804,660 $ 72,025 $ 115,424 $ 190,124 $374,262 $1,556,495 Rate-sensitive assets less rate-sensitive liabilities $ (194,969) $ 90,565 $ 4,239 $ 3,686 $283,269 $ 186,790 ----------- ---------- ---------- --------- -------- ---------- Cumulative Gap $ (194,969) $ (104,404) $ (100,165) $ (96,479) $186,790 =========== ========== ========== ========= ======== Cumulative amounts as a percentage of total rate-sensitive assets - 11.18% -5.99% -5.75% -5.53% 10.71% =========== ========== ========== ========= ======== Cumulative ratio 0.76 0.88 0.90 0.92 1.12 =========== ========== ========== ========= ======== The funds management policy of First Busey Corporation require the banks to maintain a cumulative rate-sensitivity ratio of .75 - 1.25 in the 90-day, 180-day, and 1-year time periods. As of June 30, 2004, the Banks and the Corporation, on a consolidated basis, are within those guidelines. The foregoing table shows a negative (liability-sensitive) rate-sensitivity gap of $195 million in the 1-30 day repricing period as there were more liabilities subject to repricing during that time period than there were assets subject to repricing within that same time period. The volume of assets subject to repricing exceeds the volume of liabilities subject to repricing for all time periods beyond 30 days. On a cumulative basis, however, the gap remains liability sensitive through 180 days. The composition of the gap structure at June 30, 2004 indicates the Corporation would benefit more if interest rates decrease during the next 180 days by allowing the net interest margin to grow as the volume of interest-bearing liabilities subject to repricing would be greater than the volume of interest-earning assets subject to repricing during the same period. The committees do not rely solely on gap analysis to manage interest-rate risk as interest rate changes do not impact all categories of assets and liabilities equally or simultaneously. The asset-liability committees supplement gap analysis with balance sheet and income simulation analysis to determine the potential impact on net interest income of changes in market interest rates. In these simulation models the balance sheet is projected over a one-year period and net interest income is calculated under current market rates, and then assuming permanent instantaneous shifts of +/-100 basis points and +200 basis points. Management measures such 31 of 38 changes assuming immediate and sustained shifts in the Federal funds rate and the corresponding shifts in other rate indices based on their historical changes relative to changes in the Federal funds rate. The model assumes asset and liability remain constant at June 30, 2004, balances. The model uses repricing frequency on all variable-rate assets and liabilities. The model also uses a historical decay rate on all fixed-rate core deposit balances. Prepayment speeds on loans have been adjusted up and down to incorporate expected prepayment in both a declining and rising rate environment. Utilizing this measurement concept the interest rate risk of the Corporation, expressed as a change in net interest income as a percentage of the net income calculated in the constant base model, due to an immediate and sustained change in interest rates at June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003 was as follows: Basis Point Changes ------------------- -100 +100 +200 ---- ---- ---- June 30, 2004 (4.29%) 1.11% 1.87% December 31, 2003 (5.57%) 3.05% 6.06% ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).
