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, 2001
(unaudited) when compared with December 31, 2000 and the results of operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 (unaudited) and the results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 (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.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2001 AS COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2000
Total assets decreased $20,497,000 or 1.5%, to $1,334,547,000 at June 30, 2001
from $1,355,044,000 at December 31, 2000.
Securities available for sale decreased $6,454,000, or 2.8%, to $222,143,000 at
June 30, 2001 from $228,597,000 at December 31, 2000.
Loans decreased $14,585,000, or 1.5%, to $969,784,000 at June 30, 2001 from
$984,369,000 at December 31, 2000, primarily due to decreases in commercial, 1-4
family mortgages, and multifamily mortgages. These decreases were partially
offset by increases in real estate construction and non-farm nonresidential
mortgage loans.
Total deposits decreased $13,972,000, or 1.2%, to $1,134,815,000 at June 30,
2001 from $1,148,787,000 at December 31, 2000. Non-interest bearing deposits
decreased 9.5% to $121,920,000 at June 30, 2001 from $134,669,000 at December
31, 2000. Interest-bearing deposits decreased 0.1% to $1,012,895,000 at June
30, 2001 from $1,014,118,000 at December 31, 2000.
Short-term borrowings decreased $25,000,000 to $7,283,000 at June 30, 2001 as
compared to $32,283,000 at December 31, 2000. In June, 2001, the Corporation
issued $25,000,000 in trust preferred securities. The proceeds were used to
reduce short-term debt associated with the purchase of Busey Bank fsb in October
1999. Long-term debt decreased $9,976,000 or 18.8% to $43,000,000 at June 30,
2001, as compared to $52,976,000 at December 31, 2000.
9 of 24
In the first six months of 2001, the Corporation repurchased 129,617 shares of
its common stock at an aggregate cost of $2,454,000. 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.
The following table sets forth the components of non-performing assets and past
due loans.

======= =======
The ratio of non-performing assets to loans plus non-performing assets decreased
to 0.30% at June 30, 2001, from 0.57% at December 31, 2000. This was due to a
decrease in loans 90 days past due, still accruing, offset partially by an
increase in nonaccrual loans. The overall reduction in non-performing assets is
the result of management's efforts to implement more vigorous underwriting
standards and more aggressive collection procedures to reduce the balance of
non-performing loans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AS COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2000
SUMMARY
- -------
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased 7.8% to $8,125,000
as compared to $7,539,000 for the comparable period in 2000. Year-to-date
diluted earnings per share increased 9.1% to $.60 at June 30, 2001 as compared
to $.55 for the same period in 2000.
Operating earnings, which exclude security gains and the related tax expense,
were $7,599,000, or $.56 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as
compared to $7,524,000, or $.55 per share for the same period in 2000.
The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.24% for the six months ended
June 30, 2001, as compared to 1.24% for the comparable period in 2000. The
return on average assets from operations of 1.16% for the six months ended June
30, 2001 was 7 basis points lower than the 1.23% level achieved in the
comparable period of 2000.
The Corporation's net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average
earning assets stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.61% for the six
months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to 3.83% for the same period in 2000.
The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average total assets, also
on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.40% for the six months ended June 30,
2001, compared to 3.57% for the same period in 2000. The decrease in the net
interest margin is due to the decline in the yield on interest-earning assets of
10 basis points combined with the increase in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities of 21 basis points. The contraction in the net interest margin
results from a reduction of 275 basis points in the banking subsidiaries prime
rate since December 31, 2000. The prime rate reduction followed Federal Reserve
Board rate reductions. Liability costs have not moved as quickly due to
contractual maturities on time deposit portfolios.
10 of 24
During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation recognized net
security gains of approximately $526,000, after income taxes, representing 6.50%
of net income. During the same period in 2000, net security gains of $15,000,
after income taxes, were recognized, representing 0.20% of net income.
INTEREST INCOME
- ---------------
Interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, for the six months ended June 30,
2001 increased $3,281,000 or 7.3% to $48,311,000 from $45,030,000 for the
comparable period in 2000. The increase in interest income resulted from an
increase in average earning assets of $102,755,000 for the period ended June 30,
2001, as compared to the same period of 2000. The average yield on
interest-earning assets decreased from 7.93% for the six months ended June 30,
2000 to 7.83% for the same period in 2001 due to decreases in the yields on all
categories of interest-earning assets
INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------
Total interest expense increased $2,739,000 or 11.8% for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the prior year period. This increase resulted
primarily from an increase of $74,002,000 in average interest-bearing
liabilities combined with increases in costs of time deposits and short-term
borrowings.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------
The provision for loan losses of $895,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001
is $90,000 less than the provision for the comparable period in 2000. The
provision and the low level of net charge-offs for the period resulted in the
reserve representing 1.34% of total loans and 447% of non-performing loans at
June 30, 2001, as compared to the reserve representing 1.25% of total loans and
216% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2000. The adequacy of the reserve
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, prevailing economic conditions among other factors.
Like many other financial institutions, the corporation is concerned about the
continued weakening of the economy in 2001. Should the economic climate
continue to deteriorate, borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of
non-performing loans, charge-offs, and delinquencies could rise and require
further increases in the provision for loan losses which may cause the
Corporation's net income to decrease.
OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
- --------------------------------------------
Total other income, excluding security gains, increased $1,249,000 or 13.9% for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. This
was a combination of increases in trust revenue, commissions and brokers fees,
service charges, loan gains, and other operating income for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. As of June 30, 2001, the
trust company of the Corporation had $1,028,288,000 in assets under care, an
increase of 6.1% from $969,188,000 at June 30, 2000.
Gains of $966,000 were recognized on the sale of $97,425,000 of pooled loans for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to gains of $520,000 on the sale
of $20,323,000 of pooled loans in the prior year period. The gains recognized
in the six months ending June 30, 2000 include $350,000 in gains of the sale of
the Corporation's credit card loan portfolio, which had balances of $4,116,000.
Management anticipates continued sales from the current mortgage loan production
in order to maintain the asset/liability structure that the Corporation is
trying to effect. 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.
Total other expense increased 9.7% or $1,686,000 to $19,130,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $17,444,000 for the same period in
2000.
11 of 24
Salaries and wages expense increased $840,000 or 10.8% and employee benefits
expense increased $355,000 or 24.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2001, as
compared to the same period last year. The Corporation had 502 full-time
equivalent employees as of June 30, 2001 as compared to 500 as of June 30, 2000.
Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased 12.5% to $3,501,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $3,112,000 in the prior year period. In
October 2000, Busey Bank fsb opened a full-service branch office in Fort Myers,
Florida. The majority of the increases in occupancy, furniture and equipment
can be attributed to the opening of this branch office. Data processing expense
decreased $332,000 to $391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from the
prior year period. This decrease is due to the savings associated with
converting Busey Bank fsb's data processing to the same in-house system employed
by Busey Bank. This conversion was completed in June, 2000.
The Corporation's net overhead expense, total non-interest expense less
non-interest income divided by average assets, decreased to 1.22% for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from 1.39% in the prior year period as a result of
the changes in the income and expense items described above.
The Corporation's efficiency ratio is defined as operating expenses divided by
net revenue. (More specifically it is defined as non interest expense
expressed as a percentage of the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and
non interest income, excluding security gains). The consolidated efficiency
ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2001, was 58.8% as compared to 56.7% for
the same period in 2000. When the gains on the sales of pooled loans are
excluded these ratios are 60.6% and 57.7% for the six month periods ending June
30, 2001, and June 30, 2000, respectively.
Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased to $4,586,000 as
compared to $4,105,000 for the
comparable period in 2000. As a percent of income before taxes, the provision
for income taxes increased to 36.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from
35.3% for the same period in 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AS COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2000
SUMMARY
- -------
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased 2.4% to $4,027,000
as compared to $3,932,000 for the comparable period in 2000. Diluted earnings
per share increased 3.4% to $.30 at June 30, 2001 as compared to $.29 for the
same period in 2000.
Operating earnings, which exclude security gains and the related tax expense,
were $3,894,000, or $.29 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2001, as
compared to $3,913,000, or $.29 per share for the same period in 2000.
The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.29% for the three months ended
June 30, 2001, as compared to 1.39% achieved for the comparable period in 2000.
The return on average assets from operations for the three months ended June 30,
2001 of 1.23% was five basis points lower than the 1.28% level achieved in the
comparable period of 2000.
The net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average earning assets was
3.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of 29 basis points
from the level achieved for the like period in 2000. The net interest margin
expressed as a percentage of average total assets was 3.42% for the three months
ended June 30, 2001, compared to 3.65% for the same period in 2000.
During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation recognized security
gains of approximately $133,000, after income taxes, representing 3.3% of net
income. During the same period in 2000, security gains of approximately
$19,000, after income taxes, were recognized, representing 0.5% of net income.
12 of 24
INTEREST INCOME
- ---------------
Interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis increased $663,000, or 33.4%
for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The
increase resulted primarily from growth in Federal Funds sold, average volumes
of other securities and loans. The yield on interest earning assets declined 41
basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000, due to increases in the yields on all categories of
interest-earning assets.
INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------
Total interest expense increased $623,000 or 5.3% for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily
due to growth in the average balances of money market and time deposits combined
with an increase in the costs of time deposits.
OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
- --------------------------------------------
Total other income, excluding security transactions, increased 19.8% to
$5,491,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000. This was a combination of increased trust revenue, commissions
and brokers fees, service charges, and loan gains. Gains of $533,000 were
recognized on the sale of $62,019,000 of pooled loans for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to gains of $74,000 on the sale of $9,386,000 of
pooled loans in the prior year period.
Total other expense increased 12.3% or $1,073,000 to $9,802,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.
Salaries and wages expense increased $466,000 or 11.9% and employee benefits
expense increased $114,000 or 15.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2001, as
compared to the same period last year. Occupancy and furniture and equipment
expenses increased 10.1% to $1,728,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001
from $1,570,000 in the prior year period. The majority of the increases in
salaries, benefits, occupancy, and furniture and equipment expenses can be
attributed to the opening of the Busey Bankfsb's full-service branch office in
Fort Myers, Florida. Data processing expense decreased $229,000 to $201,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2001 from the prior year period.
The consolidated efficiency ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was
58.7% as compared to 55.4% for the prior year period. When the gains on the
sales of pooled loans are excluded, this ratio is 60.7% for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 compared to 55.7% for the same period in 2000. The change
in the current year efficiency ratio is due to the income and expense items
noted above.
Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased to $2,252,000 as
compared to $2,146,000 for the comparable period in 2000. As a percent of
income before taxes, the provision for income taxes increased to 35.9% for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 from 35.3% for the same period in 2000.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- -----------------------------
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 141,
"Business Combinations." This Statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business
Combinations" and SFAS No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of
Purchased Enterprises." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations in the
scope of this SFAS to be accounted for using the purchase method. SFAS No. 141
is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and all
business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the
acquisition date is July 1, 2001, or later.
13 of 24
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
(FAS 142). The standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for
acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17,
"Intangible Assets." It addresses how intangible assets should be accounted for
at acquisition and in subsequent periods. Most significantly, goodwill and
intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but
rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that
have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
The standard also provides specific guidance for testing goodwill for impairment
and requires additional disclosures about goodwill and intangible assets.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
The standard is required to be applied to the beginning of an entity's fiscal
year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in
its financial statements at that date. Impairment losses for goodwill and other
intangible assets with indefinite lives that arise due to the initial
application of this standard are to be reported as resulting from a change in
accounting principle.
At this time First Busey Corporation has not yet determined what effect the
adoption of SFAS No. 141 and 142 will have on the consolidated financial
statements.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------
Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet all present and future financial
obligations arising in the daily operations of the business at a minimal cost.
These financial obligations consist of needs for funds to meet extensions of
credit, deposit withdrawals and debt servicing.
The sources of short-term liquidity utilized by the Corporation consist of
non-reinvested asset maturities, deposits and capital funds. Long-term
liquidity needs will be satisfied primarily through retention of capital funds.
The Corporation does not deal in or use brokered deposits as a source of
liquidity. Additional liquidity is provided by bank lines of credit, repurchase
agreements and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank and the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. The Corporation has an operating line with
American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago in the amount of $10,000,000
with $5,000,000 available as of June 30, 2001.
The Corporation's dependence on large liabilities (defined as time deposits over
$100,000 and short-term borrowings) decreased to 13.2% at June 30, 2001 from
17.3% at December 31, 2000. This is the ratio of total large liabilities to
total liabilities, and is low in comparison to the Corporation's peers. This
change was due largely to a $27,708,000 decrease in time deposits over $100,000
and a $27,488,000 decrease in short-term borrowings and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase. Proceeds of $25,000,000 from the issuance of trust
preferred securities were used to reduce short-term debt associated with the
purchase of Busey Bank fsb in October, 1999.
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, 2001,
the Corporation earned $8,125,000 and paid dividends of $3,494,000 to
stockholders, resulting in a retention of current earnings of $4,631,000. The
Corporation's dividend payout for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was 43.0%.
The Corporation's risk-based capital ratio was 13.28% and the leverage ratio was
6.19% as of June 30, 2001, as compared to 9.43% and 5.71% respectively as of
December 31, 2000. The Corporation and its bank subsidiaries were above all
minimum required capital ratios as of June 30, 2001.

RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
- -------------------------------------
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.
The following table sets forth the static rate-sensitivity analysis of the
Corporation as of June 30, 2001.

The foregoing table shows a negative (liability sensitive) rate-sensitivity gap
of $221.2 million in the 1-30 day and a positive rate-sensitive gap of $4.2
million in the 31-90 day and $34.6 million in the 91-180 day repricing
categories. The gap becomes slightly more liability sensitive in the 181-days
to 1-year repricing period as rate-sensitive liabilities that reprice in those
time periods are greater in volume than rate-sensitive assets that are subject
to repricing in the same respective time periods. The composition of the gap
structure at June 30, 2001 will benefit the Corporation more if interest rates
fall during the next year by allowing the net interest margin to grow as
liability rates would reprice more quickly than rates on interest rate-sensitive
assets. After 1 year, a rate increase would benefit the Corporation because the
volume of rate-sensitive assets repricing would exceed the volume of
rate-sensitive liabilities that would be repricing.

This presentation includes forward looking statements that are intended to be
covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements include but are not
limited to comments with respect to the objectives and strategies, financial
condition, results of operations and business of the Corporation.

ITEM 3. 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 and Busey Bankfsb, 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 committee uses gap analysis to identify mismatches in the
dollar value of assets and liabilities subject to repricing within specific time
periods. The Funds Management Policy established by the asset-liability
committee and approved by the Corporation's board of directors establishes
guidelines for maintaining the ratio of cumulative rate-sensitive assets to
rate-sensitive liabilities within prescribed ranges at certain intervals. A
summary of the Corporation's gap analysis is summarized on page 15.
The committee does 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 committee supplements 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 out over a one-year
period and net interest income is calculated under current market rates, and
then assuming permanent instantaneous shifts in the yield curve of +/- 100 basis
point and +/- 200 basis points. These interest-rate scenarios indicate the
interest rate risk of the Corporation over a one-year time horizon due to
changes in interest rates, as of June 30, 2001, is as follows:
Basis Point Changes
-------------------
-200 -100 +100 +200

immediate change in interest over a one-year period (1.23%) (0.59%) (0.20%) (0.50%)
