(unaudited)


Basis of Accounting and Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. ("Company") and the following current and
former wholly-owned subsidiaries: Mid-Illinois Data Services, Inc. ("MIDS"), The
Checkley Agency, Inc. ("Checkley"), Mansfield Bancorp, Inc. ("Mansfield") and
its wholly-owned subsidiary Peoples State Bank of Mansfield ("Peoples State
Bank") and First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, N.A. ("First Mid Bank").
Mansfield was merged with and into Peoples State Bank on September 7,
2006, and Peoples State Bank was merged with and into First Mid Bank on
September 8, 2006. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. The financial information reflects all
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of the interim periods ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain amounts
in the prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the September 30, 2006 presentation and there was no impact on net
income or stockholders' equity. The results of the interim period ended
September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for
the year ending December 31, 2006. The Company operates as a one-segment entity
for financial reporting purposes.

The 2005 year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited
financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles.

The unaudited condensed 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 U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements and related footnote
disclosures although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate
to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 155 (FAS 155), "Accounting for
Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments: an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133
and 140." FAS 155 permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial
instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require
bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are
not subject to the requirements of Statement 133, establishes a requirement to
evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that
are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that
contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that
concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded
derivatives, and amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a
qualifying special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument
that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial
instrument. FAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or
issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 155 to have
a material effect on the results of operations or the statement of condition.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
156 (FAS 156), "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets: an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 140. ". FAS 140 establishes, among other things, the
accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities. This Statement amends FAS 140 to require that all separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at
fair value, if practicable. This Statement permits, but does not require, the
subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities at fair value. Under this Statement, an entity can elect subsequent
fair value measurement to account for its separately recognized servicing assets
and servicing liabilities. Adoption of this Statement is required as of the
beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The
Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 156 to have a material effect on the
results of operations or the statement of condition.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109,"
which provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, and disclosure of tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, and
disclosure. FIN 48 prescribes that a tax position should only be recognized if
it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination
by the appropriate taxing authority. A tax position that meets this threshold is
measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely
of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The cumulative effect of applying
the provisions of FIN 48 is to be reported as an adjustment to the beginning
balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently
assessing the impact, if any, that the adoption of this Interpretation will have
on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 157 (FAS 157), "Fair Value Measurements," which provides enhanced guidance
for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. FAS 157 establishes a
common definition of fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value
under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and
expands disclosures requirements about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is
effective for financial statements issued in fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FAS 157 will have on
its financial reporting and disclosures.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 158 (FAS 158), "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R)," which requires recognition of a net liability or asset to report the
funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on the
balance sheet and recognition (as a component of other comprehensive income) of
changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur.
Additionally, FAS 158 requires measurement of a plan's assets and obligations as
of the balance sheet date and additional disclosures in the notes to the
financial statements. The recognition and disclosure provisions of FAS 158 are
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, while the requirement
to measure a plan's assets and obligations as of the balance sheet date is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FAS 158 will have on its
financial reporting and disclosures.
Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated as net income divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the
assumed conversion of the Company's stock options, unless anti-dilutive. The
components of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Acquisition

On May 1, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition, for $24 million in cash,
of all of the outstanding common stock of Mansfield and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, People State Bank, located in Mansfield, Mahomet and Weldon,
Illinois, in order to expand its market presence in this area. The Company
financed the purchase price through a dividend of $5 million from First Mid
Bank, an issuance of $10 million of trust preferred securities and a $9.5
million draw on the Company's line of credit with The Northern Trust Company.
Following the completion of the acquisition during the third quarter of 2006,
Mansfield merged with and into Peoples State Bank and Peoples State Bank merged
with and into First Mid Bank. Following the completion of these mergers,
Mansfield and Peoples ceased to exist and Peoples' operations were merged into
First Mid Bank's.

The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase, and the results of
operations of Mansfield and Peoples since the acquisition date have been
included in the consolidated financial statements. The following table
summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at the date of this transaction (in thousands):



Cash and cash equivalents $12,193
Investment securities 52,740
Loans 55,770

Deposits 108,114
Deferred income taxes 869
Other liabilities 622
------------
Total liabilities assumed 109,605
------------
Net assets acquired $24,255
============


Transaction costs related to the completion of the transaction were
approximately $255,000. The fair value of deposits acquired in the transaction
exceeded the book value, resulting in a core deposit intangible asset of
$3,132,000, which is being amortized over 10 years. The total fair value of the
assets and liabilities acquired exceeded the book value, resulting in goodwill
of $8,328,000, which is not subject to amortization. The core deposit
intangibles and goodwill are not deductible for tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information
presents the results of operations of the Company, including the effects of the
purchase accounting adjustments, issuance of trust preferred securities and bank
loan, had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of each period (in
thousands):

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect
any anticipated cost savings and revenue enhancements. Additionally, the income
statement for the first nine months of 2006 includes merger-related expenses.
Accordingly, the pro forma results of operations of the Company as of and after
the merger may not be indicative of the results that actually would have
occurred if the merger had been in effect during the periods presented or of the
results that may be attained in the future.

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142, the Company performed testing of
goodwill for impairment as of September 30, 2006, and determined that, as of
that date, goodwill was not impaired. Management also concluded that the
remaining amounts and amortization periods were appropriate for all intangible
assets.


Stock Incentive Plan

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its Stock Incentive Plan
("Plan") under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related
Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123").
No stock option compensation cost was recognized in the Statement of Income as
all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock on the grant date.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), which requires the cost resulting from stock options
be measured at fair value and recognized in earnings. This Statement replaces
SFAS No. 123 and supercedes APB No. 25 which permitted the recognition of
compensation expense using the intrinsic value method.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS 123R using the modified prospective application method. Under
this method, the Statement applies to new awards and to awards modified,
repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation
cost for a portion of awards for which requisite services have not been rendered
that are outstanding as of the effective date shall be recognized as the
requisite service is rendered or after the effective date. As a result of this
adoption, the Company's income before income taxes and net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 have included stock option compensation cost of
$135,000 and $129,000, respectively, which represents $.03 impact on basic and
diluted earnings per share for the period. The following table illustrates the
effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on stock-based employee
compensation for the three and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2005.

New Accounting Standards Adopted During 2006

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its Stock Incentive Plan
("Plan") under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB No. 25, and
related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. No stock option
compensation cost was recognized in the Statement of Income as all options
granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common
stock on the grant date.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS 123R using the modified prospective application method. Under
this method, the Statement applies to new awards and to awards modified,
repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. Additionally, compensation
cost for a portion of awards for which requisite services have not been rendered
that are outstanding as of the effective date shall be recognized as the
requisite service is rendered or after the effective date. As a result of this
adoption, the Company's income before income taxes and net income for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 have included stock option compensation cost of
$43,000 and $41,000, respectively, which represents $.01 impact on basic and
diluted earnings per share for the period. The Company's income before income
taxes and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 have included
stock option compensation cost of $135,000 and $129,000, respectively, which
represents $.03 impact on basic and diluted earnings per share for the period.
As of September 30, 2006, there was approximately $159,000 of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to nonvested options under the Plan. The Company
expects to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of less than four
years.
Overview

This overview of management's discussion and analysis highlights selected
information in this document and may not contain all of the information that is
important to you. For a more complete understanding of trends, events,
commitments, uncertainties, liquidity, capital resources, and critical
accounting estimates, you should carefully read this entire document. These have
an impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Net income was $7,359,000 and $7,242,000 and diluted earnings per share was
$1.66 and $1.59 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The
following table shows the Company's annualized performance ratios for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, compared to the performance ratios for
the year ended December 31, 2005:


Nine months ended Year ended
September 30, September 30, December 31,
2006 2005 2005
-------------- -------------- --------------
Return on average assets 1.06% 1.17% 1.18%
Return on average equity 13.25% 13.59% 13.64%
Average equity to average assets 8.01% 8.58% 8.64%


Total assets at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $993.5 million and
$850.6 million, respectively. The increase in net assets was due to assets
acquired of $133.9 million in the acquisition of Mansfield. Total
assets excluding acquired assets increased as the result of an increase in loan
balances, primarily residential and commercial real estate. Net loan balances
were $719.8 million at September 30, 2006, an increase of $88.1 million, or
13.9%, from $631.7 million at December 31, 2005 . Total deposit balances
increased to $790.8 million at September 30, 2006 from $649.1 million at
December 31, 2005.

Net interest margin, defined as net interest income divided by average
interest-earning assets, was 3.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006,
down from 3.69% for the same period in 2005. The decrease in the net interest
margin is attributable to a greater increase in borrowing and deposit rates
compared to the increase in interest-earning asset rates. Net interest income
before the provision for loan losses was $22.7 million with growth in average
earning assets of $84.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
compared to net interest income of $21.5 million for the same period in 2005.

Noninterest income increased $443,000, or 4.7%, to $9.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $9.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005. In addition to increased income due to the acquisition
of Mansfield, the primary reason for this increase was an increase in
ATM and bankcard service fees, service charges for overdrafts and brokerage
commissions during the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same period in
2005.

Noninterest expense increased 9.1%, or $1.7 million, to $20.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $19.2 million during the same
period in 2005. In addition to increases in noninterest expense due to the
acquisition of Mansfield, the primary factor in the expense increase was
increased salaries and benefits expense that resulted from merit increases for
continuing employees, additional compensation expense recorded in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123R, and an increase in occupancy expense for a new
office location for Checkley.

Following is a summary of the factors that contributed to the changes in net
income (in thousands):

Credit quality is an area of importance to the Company. Total nonperforming
loans were $3.6 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $3.3 million at
September 30, 2005 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2005. The Company's
provision for loan loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
was $575,000 and $550,000, respectively. At September 30, 2006, the composition
of the loan portfolio remained similar to the same period last year. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, net charge-offs were .13% of average loans
compared to .11% for the same period in 2005. Loans secured by both commercial
and residential real estate comprised 70% and 72% of the loan portfolio as of
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company's capital position remains strong and the Company has consistently
maintained regulatory capital ratios above the "well-capitalized" standards. The
Company's Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio calculated under the
regulatory risk-based capital requirements at September 30, 2006 and 2005 was
9.98% and 11.07%, respectively. The Company's total capital to risk weighted
assets ratio calculated under the regulatory risk-based capital requirements at
September 30, 2006 and 2005 was 10.80% and 11.81%, respectively.

The Company's liquidity position remains sufficient to fund operations and meet
the requirements of borrowers, depositors, and creditors. The Company maintains
various sources of liquidity to fund its cash needs. See discussion under the
heading "Liquidity" for a full listing of sources and anticipated significant
contractual obligations. The Company enters into financial instruments with
off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
needs of its customers. These financial instruments include lines of credit,
letters of credit and other commitments to extend credit. The total outstanding
commitments at September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $125.7 million and $117.2
million, respectively. This increase is primarily attributable to the
Mansfield acquisition.


Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has established various accounting policies that govern the
application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the preparation
of the Company's financial statements. The significant accounting policies of
the Company are described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain
accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management
that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and
liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to be critical
accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based
on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions
made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and
assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets
and liabilities and the results of operations of the Company.

The Company believes the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting
policy that requires the most significant judgments and assumptions used in the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements. In estimating the
allowance for loan losses, management utilizes historical experience, as well as
other factors, including the effect of changes in the local real estate market
on collateral values, the effect on the loan portfolio of current economic
indicators and their probable impact on borrowers, and increases or decreases in
nonperforming and impaired loans. Changes in these factors may cause
management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses to increase or decrease
and result in adjustments to the Company's provision for loan losses. See
heading "Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses" for a more detailed
description of the Company's estimation process and methodology related to the
allowance for loan losses.
Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

The largest source of revenue for the Company is net interest income. Net
interest income represents the difference between total interest income earned
on earning assets and total interest expense paid on interest-bearing
liabilities. The amount of interest income is dependent upon many factors,
including the volume and mix of earning assets, the general level of interest
rates and the dynamics of changes in interest rates. The cost of funds necessary
to support earning assets varies with the volume and mix of interest-bearing
liabilities and the rates paid to attract and retain such funds. The Company's
average balances, interest income and expense and rates earned or paid for major
balance sheet categories are set forth in the following table (dollars in
thousands):

Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 5.6% to $22.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, from $21.5 million for the same period in
2005. The increase in net interest income was due to an increase in rates and
growth in earning assets, primarily composed of loan growth and increase in loan
rate, which was largely offset by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, average earning assets increased
by $84.1 million, or 10.8%, and average interest-bearing liabilities increased
$73.3 million, or 11%, compared with average balances for the same period in
2005. The changes in average balances for these periods are shown below:

> Average loans increased by $76 million or 12.6%.

> Average securities increased by $12.9 million or 8%.

> Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $60.1 million or 10.8%.

> Average securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $5
million or 8.7%.

> Average borrowings and other debt increased by $18.3 million or 37.1%.

> Net interest margin decreased to 3.52% for the first nine months of
2006 from 3.69% for the first nine months of 2005.

To compare the tax-exempt yields on interest-earning assets to taxable yields,
the Company also computes non-GAAP net interest income on a tax equivalent basis
(TE) where the interest earned on tax-exempt securities is adjusted to an amount
comparable to interest subject to normal income taxes assuming a federal tax
rate of 34% (referred to as the tax equivalent adjustment). The net yield on
interest-earning assets (TE) was 3.57% for the first nine months of 2006 and
3.75% for the first nine months of 2005. The TE adjustments to net interest
income for September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $299,000 and $348,000, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005 was $575,000 and $550,000, respectively. Nonperforming loans were $3.6
million and $3.3 million as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net
charge-offs were $652,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared
to $497,000 during the same period in 2005. For information on loan loss
experience and nonperforming loans, see discussion under the "Nonperforming
Loans" and "Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses" sections below.

Other Income

An important source of the Company's revenue is derived from other income. The
following table sets forth the major components of other income for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 (in thousands):

Following are explanations for the three months ended September 30, 2006
compared to the same period in 2005:

> Trust revenues increased $44,000 or 8% to $592,000 from $548,000.
Trust assets, at market value, were $423 million at September 30, 2006
compared to $392 million at September 30, 2005. The increase in trust
revenues was due to non-recurring executor and sales fees received in
the third quarter of 2006 that were not received in 2005.

> Revenues from brokerage increased $50,000 or 69.4% to $122,000 from
$72,000 due to greater commissions received on sales of annuities.

> Insurance commissions increased $9,000 or 2.6% to $361,000 from
$352,000 due to an increase in commissions received on sales of
business property and casualty insurance.

> Fees from service charges increased $180,000 or 14.6% to $1,413,000
from $1,233,000. This was primarily the result of an increase in the
number of overdrafts and an increase in the per overdraft fee to $25
from $22.50.

> The sale of securities during the three months ended September 30,
2006 resulted in net securities gains of $67,000 compared to the three
months ended September 30, 2005 which resulted in net securities gains
of $61,000.

> Mortgage banking income decreased $157,000 or 55.3% to $127,000 from
$284,000. This decrease was due to the decreased volume of fixed rate
loans originated and sold by First Mid Bank. Loans sold balances were
as follows:

> $10.4 million (representing 103 loans) for the third quarter of
2006.
> $23.4 million (representing 204 loans) for the third quarter of
2005.

First Mid Bank generally releases the servicing rights on loans sold
into the secondary market.

> Other income increased $99,000 or 16.9% to $686,000 from $587,000.
This increase was primarily due to increased ATM service fees.
Following are explanations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared
to the same period in 2005:

> Trust revenues increased $45,000 or 2.6% to $1,801,000 from
$1,756,000. Trust assets, at market value, were $423 million at
September 30, 2006 compared to $392 million at September 30, 2005. The
increase in trust revenues was the result of new business and an
increase in equity prices.

> Revenues from brokerage increased $134,000 or 47.2% to $418,000 from
$284,000 due to greater commissions received on sales of annuities.

> Insurance commissions increased $79,000 or 6.3% to $1,343,000 from
$1,264,000 due to an increase in commissions received on sales of
business property and casualty insurance.

> Fees from service charges increased $477,000 or 13.9% to $3,897,000
from $3,420,000. This was primarily the result of an increase in the
number of overdrafts and an increase in the per overdraft fee to $25
from $22.50.

> The sale of securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006
resulted in net securities gains of $66,000 compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 which resulted in net securities gains
of $315,000.

> Mortgage banking income decreased $317,000 or 52.4% to $288,000 from
$605,000. This decrease was due to the decreased volume of fixed rate
loans originated and sold by First Mid Bank. Loans sold balances were
as follows:

> $24.4 million (representing 241 loans) for the first nine months
of 2006.
> $50.8 million (representing 472 loans) for the first nine months
of 2005.

First Mid Bank generally releases the servicing rights on loans sold
into the secondary market.

> Other income increased $274,000 or 15.8% to $2,011,000 from
$1,737,000. This increase was primarily due to increased ATM service
fees.


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, 2006 and

</TABLE>
Following are explanations for the three months ended September 30, 2006
compared to the same period in 2005:

> Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other
expense, increased $693,000 or 20.7% to $4,036,000 from $3,343,000.
This increase is due to additional expense as a result of the
acquisition of Mansfield, merit increases for continuing employees and
$43,000 of additional compensation expense recorded in accordance with
the provisions of SFAS 123R. There were 342 full-time equivalent
employees at September 30, 2006, of which 29 were added through the
acquisition of Mansfield, compared to 314 at September 30,
2005.

> Occupancy and equipment expense increased $117,000 or 10.5% to
$1,236,000 from $1,119,000 due to an increase in occupancy expenses
for Mansfield, and the new office location of Checkley and the
Highland branch facility that were opened in 2005.

> Expense for amortization of intangible assets increased $73,000 or 51%
to $216,000 from $143,000 due to the additional core deposit
intangible amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of
Mansfield.

> Other operating expenses decreased $28,000 or 2.5% to $1,106,000 in
2006 from $1,134,000 in 2005 due to expenses associated with other
real estate owned that occurred in the third quarter of 2005 that did
not occur in the third quarter of 2006.

> All other categories of operating expenses increased a net of $125,000
or 19.1% to $779,000 from $654,000. The increase was primarily due to
increased expenses following the acquisition of Mansfield.


Following are explanations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared
to the same period in 2005:

> Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other
expense, increased $1,168,000 or 11.4% to $11,391,000 from
$10,223,000. This increase is due to additional expense as a result of
the acquisition of Mansfield, merit increases for continuing employees
and $135,000 of additional compensation expense recorded in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123R. There were 342 full-time equivalent
employees at September 30, 2006, of which 29 were added through the
acquisition of Mansfield, compared to 314 at September 30,
2005.

> Occupancy and equipment expense increased $371,000 or 11.6% to
$3,570,000 from $3,199,000 due to an increase in occupancy expenses
for Mansfield, and for the new office location of Checkley and the
Highland branch facility that were opened in 2005.

> Expense for amortization of intangible assets increased $115,000 or
26.7% to $545,000 from $430,000 due to the additional core deposit
intangible amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of
Mansfield.

> Other operating expenses increased $132,000 or 4.1% to $3,346,000 in
2006 from $3,214,000 in 2005 due to increases in various expenses
including ATM and bankcard expenses.

> All other categories of operating expenses decreased a net of $32,000
or 1.5% to $2,095,000 from $2,127,000. The decrease was primarily due
to decreases in various professional fees.


Income Taxes

Total income tax expense amounted to $3,691,000 (33.4% effective tax rate) for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $3,942,000 (35.2%
effective tax rate) for the same period in 2005. The change in the effective tax
rate in 2006 is due to a $142,000 reduction in the state tax expense accrual as
a result of amending the 2004 state income tax return for a greater deduction in
enterprise zone interest filed during the first quarter of 2006. This resulted
in a $92,000 net reduction in tax expense. Additional reduction in state tax
expense for 2006 resulted from an increase in deductible enterprise zone loans.
Analysis of Balance Sheets

Loans

The loan portfolio (net of unearned interest) is the largest category of the
Company's earning assets. The following table summarizes the composition of the
loan portfolio, including loans held for sale, as of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 (in thousands):

September 30, December 31,
2006 2005
----------------- ----------------
Real estate - residential $143,953 $117,204
Real estate - agricultural 57,925 50,730

Installment 45,271 34,385
Other 4,907 2,715
----------------- ----------------
Total loans $726,954 $638,133
================= ================

Overall loans increased $88.8 million, or 13.9%. The acquisition of Mansfield
resulted in an increase of approximately $55.8 million in overall loans. The
remaining increase was primarily a result of an increase in residential and
commercial real estate loans. Total real estate mortgage loans have averaged
approximately 70% of the Company's total loan portfolio for the past several
years. This is the result of the Company's focus on commercial real estate
lending and long-term commitment to residential real estate lending. The balance
of real estate loans held for sale amounted to $1,202,000 and $1,778,000 as of
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

At September 30, 2006, the Company had loan concentrations in agricultural
industries of $110 million, or 15%, of outstanding loans and $92.3 million, or
14.5%, at December 31, 2005. In addition, the Company had loan concentrations in
the following industries as of September 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005
(dollars in thousands):

============================================================
</TABLE>

(1) Based on scheduled principal repayments.
(2) Includes demand loans, past due loans and overdrafts.
As of September 30, 2006, loans with maturities over one year consisted of
approximately $370 million fixed rate loans and $76 million in variable rate
loans. The loan maturities noted above are based on the contractual provisions
of the individual loans. Rollovers and borrower requests are handled on a
case-by-case basis.

Nonperforming Loans

Nonperforming loans are defined as: (a) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual
basis; (b) accruing loans contractually past due ninety days or more as to
interest or principal payments; and (c) loans not included in (a) and (b) above
which are defined as "renegotiated loans". The Company's policy is to cease
accrual of interest on all loans that become ninety days past due as to
principal or interest. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in
the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates
there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest
or principal.

The following table presents information concerning the aggregate amount of
nonperforming loans at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (in thousands):



September 30, December 31,
2006 2005
--------------- ----------------
Nonaccrual loans $3,607 $3,458
Renegotiated loans which are performing
in accordance with revised terms 31 -
--------------- ----------------
Total nonperforming loans $3,638 $3,458
=============== ================


The $180,000 increase in nonaccrual loans during the nine months ended September
30, 2006 resulted from the net of $108,000 of loans added to nonaccrual through
acquisition of Mansfield, $1,304,000 of additional loans put on nonaccrual
status, $921,000 of loans brought current or paid-off, $127,000 of loans
transferred to other real estate owned and $184,000 of loans charged-off.

Interest income that would have been reported if nonaccrual and renegotiated
loans had been performing totaled $65,000 and $65,000 for the periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of the reserve
necessary to adequately account for probable losses that could ultimately be
realized from current loan exposures. The provision for loan losses is the
charge against current earnings that is determined by management as the amount
needed to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. In determining the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, and therefore the provision to be
charged to current earnings, management relies predominantly on a disciplined
credit review and approval process that extends to the full range of the
Company's credit exposure. The review process is directed by overall lending
policy and is intended to identify, at the earliest possible stage, borrowers
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 and guarantees 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, trends in volumes and terms of
loans, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting standards or
lending practices, lending staff changes, concentrations of credit, industry
conditions 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 there are risk factors that are inherent in the Company's
loan portfolio. All financial institutions face risk factors in their loan
portfolios because risk exposure is a function of the business. The Company's
operations (and therefore its loans) are concentrated in east central
Illinois, an area where agriculture is the dominant industry. Accordingly,
lending and other business relationships with agriculture-based businesses are
critical to the Company's success. At September 30, 2006, the Company's loan
portfolio included $110 million of loans to borrowers whose businesses are
directly related to agriculture. The balance increased $17.7 million from $92.3
million at December 31, 2005. While the Company adheres to sound underwriting
practices, including collateralization of loans, any extended period of low
commodity prices, significantly reduced yields on crops and/or reduced levels of
government assistance to the agricultural industry could result in an increase
in the level of problem agriculture loans and potentially result in loan losses
within the agricultural portfolio.
In addition, the Company has $31.6 million of loans to motels, hotels and
tourist courts. The performance of these loans is dependent on borrower specific
issues as well as the general level of business and personal travel within the
region. While the Company adheres to sound underwriting standards, a prolonged
period of reduced business or personal travel could result in an increase in
non-performing loans to this business segment and potentially in loan losses.
The Company also has $29.6 million of loans to operators of non-residential
buildings, $36.5 million of loans to apartment building owners and $29.1 million
of loans to subdividers and developers. A significant widespread decline in real
estate values could result in an increase in non-performing loans to this
segment and potentially in loan losses.

Analysis of the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, and
of changes in the allowance for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

During the first nine months of 2006, the Company had charge-offs of $353,000 on
commercial loans of four borrowers. During the first nine months of 2005, the
Company had charge-offs of $53,000 on two agricultural loans of a single
borrower and charge-offs of $234,000 on commercial loans of four borrowers. The
Company also recovered $56,000 on a commercial real estate loan that had been
charged-off in a prior period.

The Company minimizes credit risk by adhering to sound underwriting and credit
review policies. Management and the board of directors of the Company review
these policies at least annually. Senior management is actively involved in
business development efforts and the maintenance and monitoring of credit
underwriting and approval. The loan review system and controls are designed to
identify, monitor and address asset quality problems in an accurate and timely
manner. On a quarterly basis, the board of directors and management review the
status of problem loans and determine a best estimate 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.

At September 30, 2006, there were four obligations of states and political
subdivisions with a fair value of $1,065,000 and an unrealized loss of $14,000,
six mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $14,363,000 and an
unrealized loss of $404,000, and ten obligations of U.S. government agencies
with a fair value of $53,960,000 and an unrealized loss of $958,000, in a
continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more. At September 30,
2005, there was one mortgage-backed security with a fair value of $2,089,000 and
an unrealized loss of $19,000, and five obligations of U.S. government agencies
with a fair value of $21,394,000 and an unrealized loss of $250,000, in a
continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more. This position is
due to short-term and intermediate rates increasing since the purchase of these
securities resulting in the market value of the security being lower than book
value. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of
September 30, 2006 or December 31, 2005 represents an other than temporary
impairment.

Tax-equivalent yields have been calculated using a 34% tax rate. With the
exception of obligations of the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government agencies
and corporations, there were no investment securities of any single issuer, the
book value of which exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity at September 30, 2006.

Investment securities carried at approximately $155,842,000 and $136,787,000 at
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, were pledged to secure
public deposits and repurchase agreements and for other purposes as permitted or
required by law.
Deposits

Funding of the Company's earning assets is substantially provided by a
combination of consumer, commercial and public fund deposits. The Company
continues to focus its strategies and emphasis on retail core deposits, the
major component of funding sources. The following table sets forth the average
deposits and weighted average rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2006

During the first nine months of 2006, the balance of time deposits of $100,000
or more increased by approximately $29.8 million. The increase in balances was
primarily attributable to time deposits acquired in the acquisition of
Mansfield, an increase in brokered CD balances and to a promotion run
in the first quarter of 2006.

Balances of time deposits of $100,000 or more include brokered CDs, time
deposits maintained for public fund entities, and consumer time deposits. The
balance of brokered CDs was $43.2 million and $38.4 million as of September 30,
2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The Company also maintained time
deposits for the State of Illinois with balances of $3.1 million and $3.4
million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The
State of Illinois deposits are subject to bid annually and could increase or
decrease in any given year.

Repurchase Agreements and Other Borrowings

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are short-term obligations of
First Mid Bank. First Mid Bank collateralizes these obligations with certain
government securities that are direct obligations of the United States or one of
its agencies. First Mid Bank offers these retail repurchase agreements as a cash
management service to its corporate customers. Other borrowings consist of
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, federal funds purchased and loans
(short-term or long-term debt) that the Company has outstanding and junior
subordinated debentures.

FHLB advances represent borrowings by First Mid Bank to economically fund loan
demand. The fixed term advances consist of $25 million as follows:

> $7 million advance at 4.00% with a 2-year maturity, due April 15, 2007
> $5 million advance at 4.58% with a 5-year maturity, due March 22, 2010

At September 30, 2006, outstanding debt balances include $15,000,000 on a
revolving credit agreement with The Northern Trust Company. This loan was
renegotiated on April 24, 2006 in conjunction with obtaining financing for the
acquisition of Mansfield. The revolving credit agreement has a maximum
available balance of $22.5 million with a term of three years from the date of
closing. The interest rate (6.55% as of September 30, 2006) is floating at 1.25%
over the federal funds rate when the ratio of senior debt to Tier 1 capital is
equal to or below 35% as of the end of the previous quarter and 1.50% over the
federal funds rate when the ratio of senior debt to Tier 1 capital is above 35%.
Currently senior debt to Tier 1 capital is below 35%. The loan is secured by the
common stock of First Mid Bank and subject to a borrowing agreement containing
requirements for the Company and First Mid Bank similar to those of the prior
agreement including requirements for operating and capital ratios. The Company
and is subsidiary bank were in compliance with the existing covenants at
September 30, 2006 and 2005 and December 31, 2005.

On February 27, 2004, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $10 million
of floating rate trust preferred securities through First Mid-Illinois Statutory
Trust I ("Trust I"), a statutory business trust and wholly-owned unconsolidated
subsidiary of the Company, as part of a pooled offering. The Company established
Trust I for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred securities. The $10
million in proceeds from the trust preferred issuance and an additional $310,000
for the Company's investment in common equity of Trust I, a total of $10,310
000, was invested in junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The
underlying junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company to Trust I
mature in 2034, bear interest at nine-month London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") plus 280 basis points, reset quarterly, and are callable, at the
option of the Company, at par on or after April 7, 2009 (8.31% and 6.95% at
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively).The Company used the
proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes.

On April 26, 2006, the Company completed the issuance and sale of $10 million of
fixed/floating rate trust preferred securities through First Mid-Illinois
Statutory Trust II ("Trust II"), a statutory business trust and wholly-owned
unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company, as part of a pooled offering. The
Company established Trust II for the purpose of issuing the trust preferred
securities. The $10 million in proceeds from the trust preferred issuance and an
additional $310,000 for the Company's investment in common equity of Trust II, a
total of $10,310 000, was invested in junior subordinated debentures of the
Company. The underlying junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company to
Trust II mature in 2036, bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.98% (three-month
LIBOR plus 160 basis points) paid quarterly and converts to floating rate (LIBOR
plus 160 basis points) after June 15, 2011. The net proceeds to the Company were
used for general corporate purposes, including the Company's acquisition of
Mansfield.

The trust preferred securities issued by Trust I and Trust II are included as
Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes. On March 1, 2005,
the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that allows the continued limited
inclusion of trust preferred securities in the calculation of Tier 1 capital for
regulatory purposes. The final rule provides a five-year transition period,
ending September 30, 2009, for application of the quantitative limits. The
Company does not expect the application of the quantitative limits to have a
significant impact on its calculation of Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes
or its classification as well-capitalized.


Interest Rate Sensitivity

The Company seeks to maximize its net interest margin while maintaining an
acceptable level of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk can be defined as the
amount of forecasted net interest income that may be gained or lost due to
changes in the interest rate environment, a variable over which management has
no control. Interest rate risk, or sensitivity, arises when the maturity or
repricing characteristics of interest-bearing assets differ significantly from
the maturity or repricing characteristics of interest-bearing liabilities.

The Company monitors its interest rate sensitivity position to maintain a
balance between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. This
balance serves to limit the adverse effects of changes in interest rates. The
Company's asset liability management committee (ALCO) oversees the interest rate
sensitivity position and directs the overall allocation of funds.

In the banking industry, a traditional way to measure potential net interest
income exposure to changes in interest rates is through a technique known as
"static GAP" analysis which measures the cumulative differences between the
amounts of assets and liabilities maturing or repricing at various intervals. By
comparing the volumes of interest-bearing assets and liabilities that have
contractual maturities and repricing points at various times in the future,
management can gain insight into the amount of interest rate risk embedded in
the balance sheet.
The following table sets forth the Company's interest rate repricing GAP for
selected maturity periods at September 30, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>


The static GAP analysis shows that at September 30, 2006, the Company was
liability sensitive, on a cumulative basis, through the twelve-month time
horizon. This indicates that future increases in interest rates, if any, could
have an adverse effect on net interest income. Conversely, future decreases in
interest rates could have a positive effect on net interest income.

There are several ways the Company measures and manages the exposure to interest
rate sensitivity, including static GAP analysis. The Company's ALCO also uses
other financial models to project interest income under various rate scenarios
and prepayment/extension assumptions consistent with First Mid Bank's historical
experience and with known industry trends. ALCO meets at least monthly to review
the Company's exposure to interest rate changes as indicated by the various
techniques and to make necessary changes in the composition terms and/or rates
of the assets and liabilities. Based on all information available, management
does not believe that changes in interest rates, which might reasonably be
expected to occur in the next twelve months, will have a material adverse effect
on the Company's net interest income.

Capital Resources

At September 30, 2006, the Company's stockholders' equity had increased
$3,404,000 or 4.7% to $75,730,000 from $72,326,000 as of December 31, 2005.
During the first nine months of 2006, net income contributed $7,359,000 to
equity before the payment of dividends to common stockholders. The change in
market value of available-for-sale investment securities increased stockholders'
equity by $587,000, net of tax. Additional purchases of treasury stock (128,449
shares at an average cost of $41.29 per share) decreased stockholders' equity by
approximately $5,303,000.

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Bank holding companies follow minimum
regulatory requirements established by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System ("Federal Reserve System"), and First Mid Bank follows similar
minimum regulatory requirements established for national banks by the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary action by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Quantitative measures established by each regulatory agency to ensure capital
adequacy require the reporting institutions to maintain a minimum total
risk-based capital ratio of 8%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4%,
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, 2006
and December 31, 2005, the Company and First Mid Bank met all capital adequacy
requirements.
The trust preferred securities issued by Trust I and Trust II are included as
Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory capital purposes. On March 1, 2005,
the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule that allows the continued limited
inclusion of trust preferred securities in the calculation of Tier 1 capital for
regulatory purposes. The final rule provides a five-year transition period,
ending September 30, 2009, for application of revised quantitative limits. The
Company does not expect the application of the quantitative limits to have a
significant impact on its calculation of Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes
or its classification as well-capitalized.

As of September 30, 2006, both the Company and First Mid Bank had capital ratios
above the required minimums for regulatory capital adequacy and that qualified
them for treatment as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, total risk-based, Tier
1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios must be maintained as set forth in the
following table (dollars in thousands).

Stock Plans

Participants may purchase Company stock under the following four plans of the
Company: the Deferred Compensation Plan, the First Retirement and Savings Plan,
the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and the Stock Incentive Plan. For more detailed
information on these plans, refer to the Company's 2005 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

On August 5, 1998, the Company announced a stock repurchase program for up to 3%
of its common stock. In March 2000, the Board of directors approved the
repurchase of an additional 5% of the Company's common stock. In September 2001,
the Board of directors approved the repurchase of $3 million of additional
shares of the Company's common stock and in August 2002, the Board of directors
approved the repurchase of $5 million of additional shares of the Company's
common stock. In September 2003, the Board of directors approved the repurchase
of $10 million of additional shares of the Company's common stock. On April 27,
2004, the Board of directors approved the repurchase of an additional $5 million
shares of the Company's common stock. On August 23, 2005 the Board of directors
approved the repurchase of an additional $5 million shares of the Company's
common stock and on August 22, 2006 the Board of directors approved the
repurchase of an additional $5 million shares of the Company's common stock,
bringing the aggregate total on September 30, 2006 to 8% of the Company's common
stock plus $33 million of additional shares.
During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2006, the Company repurchased
128,449 shares at a total cost of approximately $5,303,000. Since 1998, the
Company has repurchased a total of 1,365,308 shares at a total price of
approximately $35,054,000. As of September 30, 2006, the Company was authorized
per all repurchase programs to purchase $4,153,000 in additional shares.


Liquidity

Liquidity represents the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to meet all
present and future financial obligations arising in the daily operations of the
business. Financial obligations consist of the need for funds to meet extensions
of credit, deposit withdrawals and debt servicing. The Company's liquidity
management focuses on the ability to obtain funds economically through assets
that may be converted into cash at minimal costs or through other sources. The
Company's other sources of cash include overnight federal fund lines, Federal
Home Loan Bank advances, deposits of the State of Illinois, the ability to
borrow at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and the Company's operating line
of credit with The Northern Trust Company. Details for the sources include:

> First Mid Bank has $23.5 million available in overnight federal fund
lines, including $10 million from Harris Trust and Savings Bank of
Chicago, $1 million from Illinois Bankers' Bank, and $12.5 million
from The Northern Trust Company. Availability of the funds is subject
to First Mid Bank meeting minimum regulatory capital requirements for
total capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to total
average assets. As of September 30, 2006, First Mid Bank met these
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, 2006, the excess collateral at
the Federal Home Loan Bank will support approximately $80.9 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, as of September 30, 2006, the Company had a revolving
credit agreement in the amount of $22.5 million with The Northern
Trust Company with an outstanding balance of $15 million and $7.5
million in available funds.


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. Treasury and government agency
securities; and

> operating activities, including scheduled debt repayments and
dividends to stockholders.
The following table summarizes significant contractual obligations and other
commitments at September 30, 2006 (in thousands):

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, net cash of $8.2 million and
$25.1 million was provided from operating activities and financing activities,
respectively, while investing activities used net cash of $34.7 million. In
total, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.4 million since year-end 2005.

The Company has also issued $10 million of floating rate trust preferred
securities through each of Trust I and Trust II. See heading "Repurchase
Agreements and Other Borrowings" for a more detailed description.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

First Mid Bank enters into financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include lines of credit, letters of credit and other
commitments to extend credit. Each of these instruments involves, to varying
degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk in excess of the
amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses the same
credit policies and requires similar collateral in approving lines of credit and
commitments and issuing letters of credit as it does in making loans. The
exposure to credit losses on financial instruments is represented by the
contractual amount of these instruments. However, the Company does not
anticipate any losses from these instruments.

The off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent
credit risk at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were as follows (in
thousands):

September 30, December 31,
2006 2005
--------------- ---------------
Unused commitments, including lines of credit:
Commercial real estate $ 24,233 $ 28,745
Commercial operating 52,004 46,012
Home equity 17,307 16,160
Other 27,002 23,178
--------------- ---------------
Total $120,546 $114,095
=============== ===============
Standby letters of credit $ 5,113 $ 3,694
=============== ===============



Commitments to originate credit represent approved commercial, residential real
estate and home equity loans that generally are expected to be funded within
ninety days. Lines of credit are agreements by which the Company agrees to
provide a borrowing accommodation up to a stated amount as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. Both commitments
to originate credit and lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or
other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
lines and some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the financial performance of customers to third parties. Standby
letters of credit are primarily issued to facilitate trade or support borrowing
arrangements and generally expire in one year or less. The credit risk involved
in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in
extending credit facilities to customers. The maximum amount of credit that
would be extended under letters of credit is equal to the total off-balance
sheet contract amount of such instrument.
ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in the market risk faced by the Company since
December 31, 2005. 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, 2005.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of
the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the
end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in bringing to their attention on a timely basis
material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated
subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic filings under
the Exchange Act. Further, there have been no changes in the Company's internal
control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected or that are reasonably likely to affect materially the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Since First Mid Bank acts as a depository of funds, it is named from time to
time as a defendant in lawsuits (such as garnishment proceedings) involving
claims as to the ownership of funds in particular accounts. Management believes
that all such litigation as well as other pending legal proceedings in which the
Company is involved constitute ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the
business of the Company and that such litigation will not materially adversely
affect the Company's consolidated financial condition.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Various risks and uncertainties, some of which are difficult to predict and
beyond the Company's control, could negatively impact the Company. As a
financial institution, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk, liquidity
risk, credit risk, operational risk, risks from economic or market conditions,
and general business risks among others. Adverse experience with these or other
risks could have a material impact on the Company's financial condition and
results of operations, as well as the value of its common stock. There has been
no material change to the risk factors described in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
