 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 1)  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First
 Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. (the "Registrant"), and its wholly owned
 subsidiaries, First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, N.A. (the "Bank"),
 Heartland Savings Bank ("Heartland") and Mid-Illinois Data Services, Inc.
 ("MIDS").  Intercompany amounts have been eliminated.

     On October 4, 1994, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding stock of
 Downstate Bancshares, Inc. ("DBI") which owned 100% of the stock of
 Downstate National Bank ("DNB").  DNB had locations in Altamont and
 Effingham, Illinois.  Immediately following the acquisition, DBI was
 dissolved and DNB was merged with and into the Bank with the Bank being
 the surviving entity.  DBI was purchased for cash of $8,570,000 with
 $5,570,000 of that amount being internally generated funds and $3,000,000
 resulting from additional long-term borrowings of the Registrant.  The
 acquisition of DBI by the Bank was accounted for using the purchase
 method of accounting whereby the assets and liabilities of DBI were
 recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date and the
 operating results of the DBI operations have been combined with those of
 the Registrant since October 4, 1994.

 2)  The financial information reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion
 of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results
 of the interim periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and all such
 adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of the interim
 period ended September 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the
 results expected for the year ending December 31, 1995.

 3)  Income for primary and fully diluted earnings per share is adjusted for
 dividends attributable to preferred stock.  Primary earnings per share is
 based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Fully
 diluted earnings per share data is computed by using the weighted average
 number of common shares outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion
 of the convertible preferred stock.  The weighted average number of
 common equivalent shares used in calculating earnings per share for the
 periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, are as follows:

 4)  The Registrant is required to classify its debt securities into one of
 three categories at the time of purchase:  held-to-maturity, available-
 for-sale or trading.  Held-to-maturity securities are those which
 management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity.  These
 securities are carried at amortized historical cost.  Available-for-sale
 securities are those securities which management may sell prior to
 maturity as a result of the Registrant's overall asset and liability
 management strategy.  These securities are recorded at fair value.
 Trading securities are those securities bought and held principally for
 the purpose of selling them in the near term.  Trading securities are
 recorded at the lower of historical cost or fair value.  The Registrant
 currently has no securities designated as trading.
<PAGE>

 5)  Heartland originates residential first mortgage loans both for its
 portfolio and for sale into the secondary market.  Held for sale loans
 are carried at the lower of aggregate, amortized cost or estimated market
 value.  Mortgage banking income consists of gains or losses on the sale
 of loans and servicing fee income.  Origination costs for loans sold are
 expensed as incurred.

</TABLE>

               Net Interest Income and Interest Rate Sensitivity

   During the first nine months in 1995, the Registrant's net interest income
 increased by $2,138,000 (20.7%) as compared with the net interest income for
 the same period in 1994.  Net interest income for the nine months ended
 September 30, 1995, was $12,482,000 as compared with $10,344,000 for the nine
 months ended September 30, 1994.  The table which follows sets forth details
 of average balances, interest income and expense and average rates for the
 Registrant for 1995 and 1994.  The 1995 figures have been annualized based on
 the actual results through September 30, 1995.  The annualized amounts are not
 necessarily indicative of the actual amounts that are expected or that will
 occur for the year ended December 31, 1995.

<PAGE>
   As can be seen, annualized net interest margin is 3.98% in 1995 (on a tax
 equivalent basis).  The overall cost of interest bearing liabilities has been
 79 basis points higher in 1995 than in 1994 and the yield on interest earning
 assets has been 76 basis points higher in 1995 than in 1994.

   Beginning in early 1994, economic activity and loan demand began to increase
 significantly in the Registrant's market area.  As the largest financial
 institution in the area and the one with the most banking outlets, the
 Registrant's loan totals have increased dramatically.  The loan to deposit
 ratio (a traditional measure of a bank's relative lending volume) of the
 Registrant has increased from 63.9% at December 31, 1993 to 73.2% at September
 30, 1995.  This rapid growth in loans has caused net interest income to
 increase because yields on loans are generally 200 to 300 basis points higher
 than are the yields on the investment products they replace and/or the
 incremental funding costs of the additional deposits or short term borrowings
 that the Registrant has acquired to fund the loan growth.

   As a result of an active asset/liability management effort, this loan growth
 has not added appreciably to the amount of interest rate or liquidity risk
 associated with the Registrant's operations.

 (1)  Nonaccrual loans are not material and have been included in the average
 loan balances for purposes of this computation.  No out-of-period
 adjustments have been included in the preceding analysis.

 (2)  Changes in rates and volume are computed on a consistent basis using the
 absolute values of changes in volume compared to the absolute values of
 the changes in rates.  Loan fees included in interest income are not
 material.  Interest on nontaxable securities is shown on a
 tax-equivalent basis using a 34% tax rate.

 (3)  There were no foreign activities by the Registrant during the nine month
 periods ending September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994.

 (4)  1995 interest income and expense amounts have been annualized based on
 results through September 30, 1995.  The annualized amounts are not
 necessarily indicative of the actual amounts that are expected or that
 will occur for the year ending December 31, 1995.

   The following table is the Registrant's "static gap" schedule as of
 September 30, 1995.  This is just one of several tools used by management to
 monitor the interest rate sensitivity position of the Registrant.  The
 following table presents earning assets and interest bearing liabilities
 within selected time intervals based on their repricing and maturing
 characteristics.  Interest rate sensitivity is measured by "gaps", (the
 difference between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities
 within a particular time interval).  A positive GAP indicates more assets than
 liabilities could reprice in that time period and a negative GAP indicates
 more liabilities could reprice.

   The preceding tabulation classifies savings and NOW accounts as immediately
 repriceable because if rates paid on these accounts were to change, the rates
 would, most likely, change on all such accounts at the same time.  As a
 practical matter, management is able to exercise a significant amount of
 control over these rates and they have shown to be very resistant to rate
 changes.

   Management of the Registrant continually monitors its interest rate
 sensitivity position. While the preceding table is an indication of interest
 rate risk, overall interest rate sensitivity is influenced by other factors
 such as the competitive environment, the timing and amount of rate changes,
 loan prepayments and the inherent stability of certain deposits.  A number of
 different factors, including those objectively determined and measurable, as
 well as those subjectively ascertained, are considered by management in its
 evaluation of interest rate risk.  As a result of this analysis, management
 believes that the overall level of interest rate risk is manageable and does
 not believe that changing rates will have a material negative effect on the
 Registrant's net interest margin.

                 Investment Portfolio and Investment Transactions

   The Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
 (FAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"
 effective December 31, 1993.  Investment securities that the Registrant has
 the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as "held-
 to-maturity" and reported at amortized cost.  All other investment securities
 are classified as "available-for-sale" and have been reported at their
 estimated fair value at September 30, 1995, and December 31, 1994.  In
 accordance with FAS 115, the unrealized gains, net of related taxes, in the
 amount of $386,000 have been included in stockholders' equity at September 30,
 1995.

   Total investment securities designated as available-for-sale represented 49%
 of the portfolio and held-to-maturity represented 51%.  During the three
 months ended September 30, 1995, neither available-for-sale nor held-to-
 maturity investment securities were sold.  During the three months ended
 September 30, 1995, $3,000,000 held-to-maturity investment securities and
 $2,050,000 available-for-sale investment securities were purchased.

   The weighted average yields are calculated on the basis of the cost and
 effective yields weighted for the scheduled maturity of each security.  Full
 tax equivalent yields have been calculated using a 34% tax rate.

   The maturities of, and yields on, mortgage backed securities have been
 calculated using actual quarterly repayment history.  However, where
 securities have call features and market values greater than par, the call
 date has been used to determine the expected maturity.

   Except for U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. Government
 corporations and agencies, no investment in a single issuer exceeds 10% of
 stockholders' equity at September 30, 1995.

   Other securities includes stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago
 totaling $1,699,000 in 1995 and $507,000 in 1994.

                   Loan Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

   The following tables provide information relating to the Registrant's loan
 portfolio, risk elements within the portfolio and historical loan loss
 experience.

   The Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114
 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("FAS 114") and Statement
 of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors for
 Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosure" ("FAS 118") effective
 January 1, 1995.  FAS 114 applies to all creditors and to all loans that are
 accounted for at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value.  It
 requires that impaired loans be measured at the present values of expected
 future cash flows by discounting those cash flows at the loan's effective
 interest rate.  FAS 118 amends FAS 114 to allow a creditor to use existing
 methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan.  FAS 118 also
 amends the disclosure requirements of FAS 114 to require information about the
 recorded investment in certain impaired loans and about how a creditor
 recognizes interest income related to those impaired loans.  The Registrant
 had no impaired loans as of September 30, 1995.

   As of September 30, 1995, loans with maturities over one year were comprised
 of $164,275,000 in fixed rate loans and $46,747,000 in variable rate loans.
 The loan maturities noted previously are based on the contractual provisions
 of the individual loans.  The Registrant has no general policy regarding
 rollovers and borrower requests for such are handled on a case by case basis.
<PAGE>
   As of September 30, 1995, the Registrant had loan concentrations in
 agricultural industries of 12.8% of outstanding loans.  The Registrant had no
 other industry loan concentrations in excess of 10% of outstanding loans.

   There was no foreign activity required to be disclosed for the reporting
 period ended September 30, 1995.

 Non-Performing Loans

   It is the Registrant's policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income
 on any loan when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as
 to the timely collectibility of interest or principal.  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 collectibility of interest or principal.

   The following table presents information concerning the aggregate amount of
 nonperforming loans at the dates indicated.  Nonperforming loans include: (a)
 loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; (b) accruing loans contractually
 past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments; and (c) loans
 not included in (a) or (b) previously, which are "restructured loans"  as
 defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15, "Accounting by
 Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings."

</TABLE>

   Interest income that would have been reported in 1995 if nonaccrual and
 restructured loans had been performing totaled $111,500 for the nine month
 period ended September 30, 1995.  Interest income relating to these non-
 performing loans that was included in income totaled $16,500 for the same
 period.

 Allowance for Loan Losses

   The provision for loan losses charged to expense was $138,000 for the nine
 months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to $156,000 for the nine months
 ended September 30, 1994, an $18,000 (11.5%) decrease.  This decrease was due
 to reduced loan charge offs, a lower level of problem loans and more favorable
 economic conditions which allowed the Registrant to reduce the provision and
 at the same time improve reserve coverage.

<PAGE>
   Management establishes an allowance for loan losses which reduces the total
 loans outstanding by an estimate of uncollectible loans.  Loans deemed to be
 uncollectible are charged against and reduce the allowance.  The provision for
 loan losses and recoveries are credited to and increase the allowance.  The
 allowance for loan losses totaled $2,788,000 (.90% of total loans) at
 September 30, 1995, and $2,608,000 (.93% of total loans) at December 31, 1994.
 The allowance for loan losses equaled 223.8% and 155.8% of total non-
 performing loans at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.

   The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of the
 reserve necessary to adequately cover losses that could ultimately be realized
 from current loan exposures.  In determining the adequacy of the allowance for
 loan losses, management relies predominantly on a disciplined credit review
 and approval process which extends to the full range of the Registrant'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 the
 exposure to individual borrowers is quantified in the form of specific
 allocation of the allowance for loan losses.  Collateral values
 are considered by management 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 restructured loans and the
 current and anticipated economic conditions in the region where the Registrant
 operates.  In addition to the aforementioned considerations, management also
 considers the experience of certain other similarly situated banks, thrifts
 and bank holding companies.

   The allowance for loan losses, in management's judgment, would be allocated
 as follows to cover potential loan losses (in thousands):

<PAGE>
   Revenues from brokerage and annuity fees have declined significantly in 1995
 as compared to 1994.  During 1994, yields on annuity products were higher,
 sometimes by as much as 200 basis points, than rates offered on traditional
 certificates of deposits.  During late 1994 and throughout 1995 however, this
 rate disparity has disappeared as CD yields have increased and annuity yields
 have decreased.  Accordingly, consumer preference has shifted away from the
 annuity product.  Management does not anticipate that annuity sales will
 increase significantly from their 1995 levels until such time as these
 products again attain a rate advantage over certificates of deposits.

   Service charges on deposits consists of fees on both interest bearing and
 non-interest bearing accounts and charges for other items, including
 insufficient funds, overdrafts and stop payment requests.  Service charges on
 deposits increased $85,000 or 7.9% for the nine month period ended September
 30, 1995 as compared with the same period in 1994.  During mid-1994, the
 Registrant adopted a revised schedule for such fees which has resulted in most
 of the increase.

   Other income for the third quarter of 1995 increased $145,000 (17.4%) to
 $979,000 from $834,000 in the third quarter of 1994.  This increase consisted
 primarily of service charges ($21,000), mortgage banking income ($34,000), a
 reduction of security losses ($46,000) and other income ($44,000).


                                Other Expense

   Other expense increased $1,294,000 or 13.5% to $10,894,000 in the first nine
 months of 1995 as compared with $9,600,000 in the first nine months of 1994.
 Most of this increase was attributable to the acquisition of Downstate
 Bancshares, Inc. that occurred early in the fourth quarter of 1994.  Other
 expense as a percentage of average assets remained stable at 2.6% during the
 first nine months of 1995 and 1994.  The following table sets forth
 information regarding the major components of and changes in other expense
 (dollars in thousands).

</TABLE>

   Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of other expense,
 increased $493,000 or 9.6% during the first nine months of 1995 as compared
 with the same period in 1994.  The increase was due to a rise in the number of
 employees on staff (as a result of the aforementioned acquisition) during the
 comparable periods and regular merit increases which affected payroll
 beginning January 1, 1995.

<PAGE>
   Net occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased $254,000 or 17.5%
 during the first nine months of 1995 compared with the same period in 1994.
 This increase was attributable in part to the additional buildings and fixed
 assets acquired as a result of the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 1994
 and in part to the remodeling of the Mattoon and Charleston banking
 facilities.  The opening of the Arcola Branch in early September, 1995,
 contributed slightly to this overall increase.

   FDIC insurance premiums decreased $89,000 or (15.2%) in the nine months of
 1995 compared with 1994.  The FDIC amended its regulations to change the range
 of deposit insurance assessments to members of the Bank Insurance Fund.  This
 change in assessment rates was applied retroactively to June 1, 1995 and the
 Bank received a refund of $170,000 in the third quarter.  Effective June 1,
 1995, the Bank has an assessment rate of $.04 per $100 of deposits.  Members
 of the Savings Association Insurance Fund, such as Heartland, will continue to
 pay assessments rates of $.23 per $100 of deposits.  Refer to the "Recent
 Regulatory Developments" on page 29 for more information.

   Other expense increased $636,000 or 26.2% for the first nine months of 1995
 as compared with the same period of 1994.  This increase was attributable to a
 $95,000 or 14.9% increase in advertising, donations and public relations
 expense and an increase in office supplies expense of $118,000 or 18.6%.
 Amortization expense increased $241,000 or 37.9% due to the additional
 goodwill from the Downstate acquisition.

   Other expense for the third quarter of 1995 totaled $3,571,000 as compared
 to $3,269,000 during the third quarter of 1994.  This increase of $302,000 or
 9.2% consisted of higher levels in salaries and benefits of $181,000,
 occupancy expense of $76,000 and other of $184,000.  Offsetting this increase
 was a decrease in the FDIC premiums of $139,000 attributable to the reduction
 of the premium rate.


                               Income Taxes

   The Registrant recorded income tax expense of $1,390,000 for the nine months
 ended September 30, 1995, as compared to $995,000 for the same period in 1994.
 The effective income tax rate was 31.6% for the nine months ended September
 30, 1995, as compared with 28.8% in the same period in 1994.  Tax exempt
 interest as a percentage of total interest income declined in 1995, which
 contributed to the slightly higher tax rates.  Income tax expense for the
 third quarter of 1995 amounted to $532,000 as compared to $341,000 in the
 third quarter of 1994.  The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1995
 was 32.7% as compared to 29.1 for the same period in 1994.

                                 Liquidity

   Liquidity represents the ability of the Registrant and its subsidiaries to
 meet the present and future requirements of customers for new loans and
 deposit withdrawals.  Liquidity management focuses on the ability to obtain
 funds economically and to maintain assets which may be converted into cash at
 minimal costs.  The Registrant has provided for its liquidity needs through
 growth in core deposits, maturing loans and investment securities, and by
 maintaining adequate balances in other short-term investments.  Management
 continually and carefully monitors its expected liquidity requirements,
 focusing primarily on cash flows from operating, investing and financing
 activities.

   A summary of the Registrant's cash flows from these sources during the three
 and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 follows (in
 thousands):

   The Registrant's need for liquidity is influenced by several factors.  The
 increased loan demand brought on by the economic expansion in the Registrant's
 market area and management's strategic objective of originating and retaining
 loans in Heartland's portfolio.  Also affecting the Registrant's cash flow is
 its relationship with seasonal customers such as public entities, highway
 contractors and those associated with the agricultural industry.

                              Capital Resources

   The Registrant and its subsidiaries have capital ratios which are higher
 than the fully-phased in regulatory capital requirements.  The requirements
 call for 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 ratio of Tier 1
 capital to total assets of 4% to 5% depending on their particular
 circumstances and risk profiles.  At September 30, 1995, the Registrant's
 leverage ratio was 6.00%.

   Banks and bank holding companies are generally expected to operate at or
 above the minimum capital requirements.   These ratios are well in excess of
 regulatory minimums and will allow the Registrant to operate without capital
 adequacy concerns.

 Recent Regulatory Developments

   On August 8, 1995, the FDIC amended its regulations to change the range of
 deposit insurance assessments charged to members of the Bank Insurance Fund
 (the "BIF"), such as the Bank, from the then-prevailing range of .23% to .31%
 of deposits, to a range of .04% to .31% of deposits.  The change in FDIC
 assessments has significantly decreased the amount of deposit insurance
 assessments that well-capitalized and well-managed BIF insured institutions,
 such as the Bank, pay to the FDIC.  Additionally, because the change in BIF
 assessments was applied retroactively to June 1, 1995, BIF-member
 institutions, including the Bank, became entitled to a refund of the
 difference between the amount of assessments previously paid at the higher
 assessment rates for the period from June 30, 1995 through September 30, 1995,
 and the amount that would have been paid for that period at the new rates.
 During the third quarter of 1995, the Bank received a refund of $170,000 on
 account of such assessment overpayments.  The FDIC did not, however, change
 the assessment rates charged to members of the Savings Association Insurance
 Fund (the "SAIF"), such as Heartland, and SAIF insured institutions continue
 to pay assessments ranging from .23% to .31% of deposits.  As a result of the
 change in the assessment rates charged to BIF-member institutions, well-
 capitalized and well-managed SAIF members, such as Heartland, pay
 significantly higher deposit insurance assessments than well-
 capitalized and well-managed BIF members, such as the Bank.
<PAGE>
   The FDIC was able to change the range for BIF-member deposit insurance
 assessments to their current levels because the ratio of the insurance
 reserves of the BIF to total BIF insured deposits equals or exceeds the
 statutorily designated reserve ratio of 1.25%.  Because the SAIF does not meet
 this designated reserve ratio, the FDIC is prohibited by federal law from
 reducing the deposit insurance assessments charged to SAIF-member institutions
 to the same levels currently charged BIF-member institutions.  Legislative
 proposals pending before the Congress would recapitalize the SAIF to the
 designated reserve ratio by imposing a special assessment against SAIF insured
 institutions, payable January 1, 1996, sufficient in the aggregate to increase
 the ratio of the insurance reserves of the SAIF to total SAIF insured deposits
 to 1.25%.  It is anticipated that this special assessment, if enacted as
 proposed, would equal approximately .85% of the deposits of each SAIF insured
 institution.  At such time as the SAIF meets the designated reserve ration of
 1.25%, the assessment rates charged SAIF-member institutions can be reduced to
 levels consistent with those charged to BIF-member institutions.

   Legislation has also been introduced in the Congress that would, among other
 things, require federal thrift institutions to convert to state or national
 banks and merge the BIF and the SAIF into a single deposit insurance fund
 administered by the FDIC.  At this time, it is not possible to predict
 whether, or in what form, any such legislation will be adopted or the impact
 such legislation would have on the Company or its subsidiaries.
