Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting and Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. ("Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries: Mid-Illinois Data Services, Inc. ("MIDS") and First Mid-Illinois
Bank & Trust, N.A. ("First Mid Bank") and its wholly-owned subsidiary First
Mid-Illinois Insurance Services, Inc. ("First Mid Insurance") and The Checkley
Agency, Inc. ("Checkley"). All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial information
reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods ended September 30,
2002, and 2001, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The
results of the interim period ended September 30, 2002, are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.

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 2001 Form 10-K.


Stock Split

On November 16, 2001, the Company effected a three-for-two stock split
in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend. Par value remained at $4 per share.
The stock split increased the Company's outstanding common shares from 2,250,714
to 3,376,071 shares. All 2001 share and per share amounts have been restated
giving retroactive recognition to the stock split.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business
Combinations," ("SFAS 141") and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting
be used for all business combinations. SFAS 141 also specifies criteria that
intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized
and reported separately from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 also requires that intangible assets with
finite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to
their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 as of July 1, 2001, and
SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets, acquired in
business combinations completed before July 1, 2001, continued to be amortized
and tested for impairment prior to the full adoption of SFAS 142.



Since its adoption of SFAS 142 as of January 1, 2002, the Company was
required to evaluate its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were
acquired in purchase business combinations, and to make any necessary
reclassifications in order to conform with the new classification criteria in
SFAS 141 for recognition separate from goodwill. The Company was also required
to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets
acquired, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of
the first interim period after adoption. If an intangible asset was identified
as having an indefinite useful life, the Company was required to test the
intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142
within the first interim period. Impairment is measured as the excess of the
carrying value over the fair value of an intangible asset with an indefinite
life. Any impairment loss is measured as of the date of adoption and recognized
as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the first
interim period.

In connection with the SFAS 142 transitional goodwill impairment
evaluation, SFAS 142 required the Company to perform an assessment of whether
there is an indication that goodwill was impaired as of the date of adoption. To
accomplish this, the Company identified its reporting units and determined the
carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities,
including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units
as of January 1, 2002. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit
exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit, an indication would exist that
the reporting unit goodwill might be impaired and the Company would perform the
second step of the transitional impairment test to determine whether a
transitional impairment loss existed. In addition, the Company has chosen
September 30 as the date of its annual testing of goodwill for impairment. The
Company performed the testing of goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2002 and
September 30, 2002 and determined as of each of the above dates that goodwill
was not impaired. The second step was not required to be completed as the
Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired.

As of January 1, 2002, the date of adoption of SFAS 142, the Company
had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $11.1 million, of which $4 million was
subject to the transition provisions of SFAS 142 and is no longer being
amortized. The remaining $7.1 million is for acquisition of branches whereby the
liabilities assumed were greater than the assets obtained and continues to be
amortized. The Company also had core deposit intangibles of $1.3 million, which
also continue to be amortized. In January 2002, the Company added an additional
$1.9 million of amortizable intangibles as a result of the acquisition of
Checkley. The following table presents gross carrying amount and accumulated
amortization by major intangible asset class as of September 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 (in thousands):

Aggregate amortization for the current year and estimated amortization
expense for each of the five succeeding years is shown in the table below (in
thousands).

Aggregate amortization expense:
For period ended 9/30/02 $721

Estimated amortization expense:
For the period 10/1/02-12/31/02 $242

For year ended 12/31/05 $840
For year ended 12/31/06 $840
For year ended 12/31/07 $786

The adoption of SFAS 142 resulted in a net income increase of $309,000
or $.09 in basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, amortization
expense related to core deposit intangibles was $228,000, amortization expense
related to other intangibles was $127,000 and amortization expense related to
goodwill from branch acquisitions was $366,000. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, amortization expense related to goodwill no longer
amortizable due to adoption of SFAS 142 was $305,000, amortization expense
related to core deposit intangibles was $245,000 and amortization expense
related to goodwill from branch acquisitions was $366,000.

On October 1, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of
Certain Financial Institutions." This Statement brings all business combinations
involving financial institutions, except mutual enterprises, into the scope of
SFAS 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS 147, which is generally effective as of
October 1, 2002, requires that all acquisitions of financial institutions that
meet the definition of a business, including acquisitions of a part of a
financial institution that meet the definition of a business, be accounted for
in accordance with SFAS 141 and the related intangibles accounted for in
accordance with SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Accordingly,
the specialized accounting guidance of SFAS 72, "Accounting for Certain
Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions," will not apply after September
30, 2002. Upon adoption of SFAS 147, if certain criteria are met, unidentifiable
intangible assets will be reclassified to goodwill and will cease being
amortized effective as of the date of adoption of SFAS 142, and previously
issued financial statements will be required to be restated. SFAS 147 also
amends the scope of FASB Statement No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," to include long-term customer-relationship
intangible assets such as depositor-and borrower-relationship intangible assets
and credit cardholder intangible assets. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the adoption of SFAS 147 on its financial condition and results of
operations.

Earnings Per Share

A three-for-two common stock split was effected on November 16, 2001,
in the form of a distribution of a 50% stock dividend for the stockholders of
record at the close of business on October 26, 2001. Accordingly, information
with respect to shares of common stock and earnings per share has been restated
for 2001 periods presented to fully reflect the stock split. Income for basic
earnings per share is based on 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 September 30, 2002 and
2001 are as follows:

Mergers and Acquisitions

On April 20, 2001, First Mid Bank acquired all of the outstanding stock
of American Bank of Illinois located in Highland, Illinois, for $3.7 million in
cash. This acquisition added approximately $30.8 million to total deposits,
$24.9 million to loans, $2 million to securities, $1.7 million to premises and
equipment and $1.4 million to intangible assets. The acquisition was accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting whereby the acquired assets and
liabilities were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and the
excess cost over fair value of net assets was recorded as goodwill. The
consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of American
Bank of Illinois since the acquisition date.

On January 29, 2002, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding stock of Checkley, an insurance agency headquartered in Mattoon,
Illinois. Checkley was purchased for cash with a portion ($750,000) paid at
closing and the remainder ($1,000,000) to be paid, pursuant to a promissory
note, over a five-year period ending January 2007. Checkley operates as a
separate subsidiary of the Company and provides customers with commercial
property, casualty, life, auto and home insurance. In order to facilitate this
acquisition, the Company became a financial holding company under the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act on December 14, 2001. The results of Checkley's
operations are included in the consolidated financial statements since the
acquisition date.


The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

At January 29, 2002:
- ----------------------------------------------------------

The Company estimates that $1,904,000 of acquired intangible assets
were obtained. The identifiable intangible assets were allocated to customer
lists to be amortized over a period of ten years.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

The largest source of operating revenue for the Company is net interest
income. Net interest income represents the difference between total interest
income earned on earning assets and total interest expense paid on
interest-bearing liabilities. The amount of interest income is dependent upon
many factors, including the volume and mix of earning assets, the general level
of interest rates and the dynamics of changes in interest rates. The cost of
funds necessary to support earning assets varies with the volume and mix of
interest-bearing liabilities and the rates paid to attract and retain such
funds.

For purposes of the following discussion and analysis, the interest
earned on tax-exempt securities is adjusted to an amount comparable to interest
subject to normal income taxes. The adjustment is referred to as the
tax-equivalent adjustment. The Company's average balances, interest income and
expense and rates earned or paid for major balance sheet categories are set
forth in the following table (dollars in thousands):

On a tax equivalent basis, net interest income increased $2,539,000, or
14.1% to $20,512,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from
$17,973,000 for the same period in 2001. The increase in net interest income was
primarily due to a growth in net interest earning assets and an increase in net
interest spread.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, average earning assets
increased by $47,313,000, or 7.8%, and average interest-bearing liabilities
increased $31,491,000, or 6.0%, compared with average balances for the same
period in 2001. Changes in average balances, as a percent of average earnings
assets, are shown below:

< average loans (as a percent of average earnings assets) decreased .6%
to 73.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, from 73.9% for
the same period in 2001.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30,
2002 and 2001 was $500,000 and $150,000, respectively. The increase in the
provision was a result of an increased risk in the loan portfolio, uncertain
income conditions, and an increase in charge-offs. The Company incurred net
charge-offs of $314,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as
compared to $57,000 for the same period in 2001. The provision for loan losses
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 was $775,000 and $450,000,
respectively. The increase in the provision was a result of an increased risk in
the loan portfolio, uncertain income conditions, and an increase in charge-offs.

Other Income

An important source of the Company's revenue is derived from other

Explanations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared
to the same period in 2001:

< Trust revenues increased $15,000 or 3.3% to $470,000 from $455,000.
Trust assets, reported at market value, were $310 million at September
30, 2002 compared to $288 million at September 30, 2001.

< Revenues from brokerage decreased $1,000 or 1.6% to $61,000 from
$62,000.

< Insurance commissions increased $313,000 or 1,738.9% to $331,000 from
$18,000. This increase is due to the acquisition of Checkley in
January 2002.

< Fees from service charges increased $299,000 or 37.7% to $1,092,000
from $793,000. This was primarily the result of increased overdraft
fees after implementation of a new program called Payment Privilege.
Under Payment Privilege, overdrafts up to a limit of $500 are
automatically paid for qualifying customers in exchange for a fee. A
greater number of overdrafts paid has resulted in an increase in fee
income.

< Sales of investment securities resulted in a net gain of $107,000, as
compared to a net gain of $14,000 for the same quarter in 2001. The
net gain in 2002 resulted primarily from the sale of a $1 million
available-for-sale security.

< Mortgage banking income increased $45,000 or 15.5% to $335,000 from
$290,000. This increase was due to a higher number of fixed rate loans
originated and sold by First Mid Bank as a result of lower interest
rates. Loans sold balances are as follows:

< $25.4 million (representing 260 loans) for the 3rd quarter 2002.
< $19.0 million (representing 217 loans) for the 3rd quarter 2001.

First Mid Bank generally releases the servicing rights on loans sold
into the secondary market. Accordingly, capitalized originated mortgage
servicing rights are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

< Other income decreased $72,000 or 16.2% to $516,000 from $444,000.

Explanations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared
to the same period in 2001:

< Trust revenues decreased $28,000 or 2.0% to $1,398,000 from
$1,426,000. Trust assets, reported at market value, were $310 million
at September 30, 2002 and $288 million at September 30, 2001. However,
approximately 50% of trust revenue is market value dependent. The
overall decline in equity prices in the United States has resulted in
reduced levels of trust revenue. Absent an increase in overall equity
prices, management does not expect increases in trust revenue other
than that generated through new business.

< Revenues from brokerage increased $21,000 or 12.1% to $195,000 from
$174,000. This was primarily due to increased annuity sales.

< Insurance commissions increased $738,000 or 760.8% to $835,000 from
$97,000. This increase is due to the acquisition of Checkley in
January 2002.

< Fees from service charges increased $300,000 or 13.0% to $2,609,000
from $2,309,000. This was primarily the result of increased overdraft
fees after implementation of a new program called Payment Privilege.
Under Payment Privilege, overdrafts up to a limit of $500 are
automatically paid for qualifying customers in exchange for a fee. A
greater number of overdrafts paid has resulted in an increase in fee
income.

< Sales of investment securities resulted in a net gain of $223,000 as
compared to $154,000 for the same period in 2001. Each period had
sales of several securities in the available-for-sale portfolio to
improve the overall portfolio mix and the margin.

< Mortgage banking income increased $238,000 or 31.2% to $1,002,000 from
$764,000. This increase was due to a higher number of fixed rate loans
originated and sold by First Mid Bank as a result of lower interest
rates. Loans sold balances are as follows:

< $64.8 million (representing 695 loans) for the nine months in
2002.

< $45.2 million (representing 520 loans) for the nine months in
2001.

< Other income increased $45,000 or 3.3% to $1,413,000 from $1,368,000.



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 months and nine months ended September
30, 2002 and 2001 (in thousands):

Explanations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 as compared
to the same period in 2001:

< Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other
expense, increased $392,000 or 13.8% to $3,242,000 from $2,850,000.
This increase can be explained by merit increases for continuing
employees and an increase in the number of employees due to the
acquisition of Checkley in January 2002. There were 312 full-time
equivalent employees at September 30, 2002 compared to 293 at
September 30, 2001.

< Occupancy and equipment expense increased $53,000 or 5.4% to
$1,043,000 from $990,000. This increase included building maintenance,
utilities and rent expense for Checkley.

< Amortization of goodwill expense decreased due to the adoption of SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective January 1,
2002. Goodwill totaling $4 million at January 1, 2002 is no longer
being amortized. However, the Company continues to amortize goodwill
for acquisition of branches whereby the fair value of liabilities
assumed were greater than the assets obtained, which totaled $7.1
million at January 1, 2002. Amortization of other intangibles expense
increased $43,000 as a result of the acquisition of Checkley
($48,000), partially offset by the reduction of core deposit
intangible expense ($5,000).

< Other operating expenses increased $391,000 or 45.8%. This increase is
mostly the result of $275,000 of consulting fees related to the
payment privilege program implemented in June of 2002.

< All other categories of operating expenses decreased a net of $4,000
or .7% to $544,000 from $548,000.


Explanations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared
to the same period in 2001:





< Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other
expense, increased $1,192,000 or 14.6% to $9,344,000 from $8,152,000.
This increase can be explained by merit increases for continuing
employees and an increase in the number of employees due to the
acquisition of Checkley in January 2002 and American Bank of Illinois
in April 2001.

< Occupancy and equipment expense increased $124,000 or 4.3% to
$3,023,000 from $2,899,000. This increase included building
maintenance, utilities and depreciation expense for all buildings.

< Amortization of goodwill expense decreased due to the adoption of SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective January 1,
2002. Goodwill totaling $4 million at January 1, 2002 is no longer
being amortized. However, the Company continues to amortize goodwill
for acquisition of branches whereby the fair value of liabilities
assumed were greater than the assets obtained, which totaled $7.1
million at January 1, 2002. Amortization of other intangibles expense
increased $110,000 as a result of the acquisition of Checkley
($127,000), partially offset by the reduction of core deposit
intangible expense ($17,000).

< Other operating expenses increased $752,000 or 28.9%. This increase is
partially the result of a $250,000 write-off of an investment in a
venture capital fund. During the second quarter, management determined
that the probability of recovery of the investment was remote and,
accordingly, charged off the investment through a direct charge to
earnings. The Company has no other such investments. The increase is
also due to $275,000 of consulting fees related to the payment
privilege program implemented in June of 2002.

< All other categories of operating expenses decreased a net of $135,000
or 7.7% to $1,627,000 from $1,762,000. This decrease is due to higher
expenses in 2001 as a result of the acquisition of American Bank of
Illinois in April 2001.

Income Taxes

Total income tax expense amounted to $2,918,000 (33.0% effective tax
rate) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $2,172,000
(31.3% effective tax rate) for the same period in 2001. The increase in the
effective tax rate is due to increased loan interest income, partially offset by
a decrease in interest income from U.S. Treasury securities.

Analysis of Balance Sheets

Loans

The loan portfolio is the largest category of the Company's earning
assets. The following table summarizes the composition of the loan portfolio as
of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 (in thousands):

September 30, December 31,

---------------- ----------------
Total loans $500,242 $473,243
================ ================






At September 30, 2002, the Company had loan concentrations in
agricultural industries of $89.2 million, or 17.8%, of outstanding loans and
$82.6 million, or 17.5%, at December 31, 2001. The Company had no further loan
concentrations in excess of 10% of outstanding loans.

Real estate mortgage loans have averaged approximately 70% of the
Company's total loan portfolio for the past several years. This is the result of
the Company's focus on real estate lending and a historical strong local housing
market. The balance of real estate loans held for sale amounted to $3,696,000
and $5,571,000 as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

The following table presents the balance of loans outstanding as of

(1) Based on scheduled principal repayments. (2) Includes demand loans,
past due loans and overdrafts.

As of September 30, 2002, loans with maturities over one year consisted
of approximately $261,253,000 in fixed rate loans and $28,770,000 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 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 September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 (in
thousands):




September 30, December 31,
2002 2001
--------------- --------------
Nonaccrual loans $3,689 $3,419
Renegotiated loans which are performing
in accordance with revised terms 32 188
--------------- --------------
Total Nonperforming Loans $3,721 $3,607
=============== ==============


At September 30, 2002, approximately $1,842,000 of the nonperforming
loans resulted from collateral dependent loans to two borrowers. The $270,000
increase in nonaccrual loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
resulted from the net of $659,000 of loans transferred to other real estate
owned, $2,175,000 of loans made current or paid-off and $3,104,000 of loans put
on nonaccrual status.

Interest income that would have been reported if nonaccrual and
renegotiated loans had been performing totaled $127,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002 and $247,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Interest income on these loans that was included in income totaled $2,000 and
$16,000 for the same periods.

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 which extends to the full range of the Company's credit
exposure. The review process is directed by overall lending policy and is
intended to identify, at the earliest possible stage, borrowers who might be
facing financial difficulty. Once identified, the magnitude of exposure to
individual borrowers is quantified in the form of specific allocations of the
allowance for loan losses. Management considers collateral values in the
determination of such specific allocations. Additional factors considered by
management in evaluating the overall adequacy of the allowance include
historical net loan losses, the level and composition of nonaccrual, past due
and renegotiated loans and the current economic conditions in the region where
the Company operates. Management considers the allowance for loan losses a
critical accounting policy.

Management recognizes that there are risk factors which are inherent in
the Company's loan portfolio. All financial institutions face risk factors in
their loan portfolios because risk exposure is a function of the business. The
Company's operations (and therefore its loans) are concentrated in east central
Illinois, an area where agriculture is the dominant industry. Accordingly,
lending and other business relationships with agriculture-based businesses are
critical to the Company's success. At September 30, 2002 the Company's loan
portfolio included $89.2 million of loans to borrowers whose businesses are
directly related to agriculture. The balance increased by $6.6 million from
$82.6 million at December 31, 2001. 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
to loan losses within the agricultural portfolio.


Analysis of the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2002 and
2001, and of changes in the allowance for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

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. 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. The following table sets
forth the amortized cost of the securities as of September 30, 2002 and December

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, and loans (short-term or long-term debt) that the Company has
outstanding.

Other debt, both short-term and long-term, represents the outstanding loan
balances for the Company. At September 30, 2002, outstanding loan balances
include $4,325,000 on a revolving credit agreement with The Northern Trust
Company with a floating interest rate of 1.25% over the Federal Funds rate (3.0%
as of September 30, 2002) and set to mature November 19, 2002. The balance also
includes a $1 million 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 (4.75% as of September 30, 2002) and
principal payable annually over five years, with a final maturity of January
2007.


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
favorable or unfavorable movements in interest rates, 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 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
imbedded in the balance sheet.

The following table sets forth the Company's interest rate repricing
gaps for selected maturity periods at September 30, 2002 (in thousands):

The static GAP analysis shows that at September 30, 2002, 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.

There are several ways the Company measures and manages the exposure to
interest rate sensitivity, static GAP analysis being one. The Company's asset
liability management committee (ALCO) also uses other financial models to
project interest income under various rate scenarios and prepayment/extension
assumptions consistent with the 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 September 30, 2002, the Company's stockholders' equity had increased
$7,517,000 or 11.8% to $71,442,000 from $63,925,000 as of December 31, 2001.
During the first nine months of 2002, net income contributed $5,914,000 to
equity before the payment of dividends to common stockholders. The change in net
unrealized gain/loss on available-for-sale investment securities increased
stockholders' equity by $1,896,000, net of tax.



The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Bank holding companies follow
minimum regulatory requirements established by the 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. 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 September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company and First Mid
Bank have met all capital adequacy requirements.

As of September 30, 2002, the most recent notification from the primary
regulator 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 table. There are no conditions or events since
that notification that management believes have changed this categorization.

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 for 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 the First Mid Bank's meeting minimum
regulatory capital requirements for total capital to risk-weighted
assets and tier 1 capital to total assets. As of September 30, 2002,
the First Mid Bank's ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets
of 11.55% and tier 1 capital to total assets of 7.88% 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 September 30, 2002, the excess collateral at
the Federal Home Loan Bank will support approximately $16 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 $10 million with The Northern Trust Company. The Company has
an outstanding balance of $4,325,000 as of September 30, 2002, and
$5,675,000 in available funds. The credit agreement matures on
November 19, 2002. The agreement contains requirements for the Company
and First Mid Bank to maintain various operating and capital ratios
and also contains requirements for the Company and First Mid Bank to
maintain various operating and capital ratios and also contains
requirements 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 September 30, 2002.

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.

< operating activities, including scheduled debt repayments and
dividends to shareholders.

The following table summarizes significant contractual obligations and
other commitments at September 30, 2002 (in thousands):

============ ============= =========== ============
Commitments to extend credit $ 81,087

*Borrowings included at earlier of call date or maturity

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, net cash of $10.6
million and $51.8 million was provided from operating activities and financing
activities, respectively, while investing activities used net cash of $17.4
million. Thus, cash and cash equivalents increased by $45.0 million since
year-end 2001. Generally, during 2002, the decreases in deposits and customer
repurchase agreements due to seasonal outflow reduced cash balances. Also,
declines in residential real estate loan balances due to the low rate
environment were greater than the growth in commercial loans and securities
since year-end 2001.


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.

Effects of Inflation

Unlike industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates
have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of
general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or experience the same magnitude of changes as goods and services,
since such prices are affected by inflation. In the current economic
environment, liquidity and interest rate adjustments are features of the
Company's assets and liabilities which are important to the maintenance of
acceptable performance levels. The Company attempts to maintain a balance
between monetary assets and monetary liabilities to offset these potential
effects over time.

Subsequent Events

On October 25, 2002, the Company increased its revolving credit
agreement with The Northern Trust Company from $10 million to $15 million. An
additional $5 million was drawn on the line making the outstanding balance
$9,325,000. The additional borrowings were utilized to fund the following share
repurchase activity.

On November 1, 2002, the Company acquired, as treasury stock, a total
of 200,000 shares of outstanding common stock from two shareholders who are the
sisters of a Director of the Company pursuant to privately negotiated
transactions. Total consideration for these share repurchases amounted to
$5,500,000. This transaction is more fully described in a Form 8-K filed by the
Company on November 1, 2002.






ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in the market risks faced by the
Company since December 31, 2001. 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, 2001.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of a date within 90 days prior to filing date
of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such
officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's
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.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been
any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect such controls.









PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Since First Mid Bank acts a depository of funds, it is named from time
to time as a defendant in lawsuits (such as garnishment proceedings) involving
claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts. Management believes
that all such litigation as well as other pending legal proceedings 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

None.



ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.



ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.



ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

None.



ITEM 6. EXHIBITS, FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES, AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

(a) Exhibits:
The exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K and filed herewith are
listed in the Exhibit Index that follows the Signature Page and immediately
precedes the exhibits filed.

(b) Reports on Form 8-K:
Form 8-K was filed by the Company on July 24, 2002 regarding plans of First
Mid Bank to open new banking centers in Champaign and Maryville, Illinois, which
are subject to regulatory approval.

Form 8-K was filed by the Company on November 1, 2002 regarding the
Company's acquisition, as treasury stock, of 200,000 shares of outstanding
common stock.
