SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND CONSOLIDATION

     The unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of
First   Mid-Illinois   Bancshares,   Inc.   ("Company")  and  its   wholly-owned
subsidiaries:  Mid-Illinois Data Services,  Inc. ("MIDS") and First Mid-Illinois
Bank & Trust,  N.A.  ("First Mid Bank") and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary  First
Mid-Illinois Insurance Services,  Inc. ("First Mid Insurance").  All significant
inter-company  balances and transactions  have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial  information  reflects all  adjustments  which,  in the opinion of
management,  are  necessary  to present a fair  statement  of the results of the
interim periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, and all such  adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature.  The results of the interim period ended September

EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Income for Basic  Earnings  per Share  ("EPS") is  adjusted  for  dividends
attributable  to preferred  stock in 1999 and is based on the  weighted  average
number  of common  shares  outstanding.  Diluted  EPS is  computed  by using the
weighted average number of common shares  outstanding,  increased by the assumed
conversion of the Company's stock options and, for 1999 periods,  by the assumed
conversion of the convertible preferred stock. On November 15, 1999, the Company
issued  shares  of its  common  stock to  holders  of its  Series A  Convertible
preferred stock upon the Company's  election to convert all such preferred stock
into common stock.

     The components of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three
month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

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

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

     On an tax equivalent  basis, net interest income increased  $1,013,000,  or
6.4% to  $16,800,000  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  from
$15,787,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase in net interest income for
the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  was primarily due to an increase in
rates on  earning  assets  combined  with an  increase  in the volume of earning
assets  offset  by an  increase  in  the  rates  combined  with  higher  average
interest-bearing liabilities.

     For the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,  average  earning  assets
increased by  $38,411,000,  or 7.4%,  and average  interest-bearing  liabilities
increased  $40,007,000,  or 8.9%,  compared  with average  balances for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.
<PAGE>
     Changes in average balances,  as a percent of average earnings assets,  are
shown below:

     *    average loans (as a percent of average earnings assets) increased 4.8%
          to 72.5% for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 from 67.7% for
          the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

     *    average securities (as a percent of average earnings assets) decreased
          2.9% to 27.1% for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 from 30.0%
          for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

     *    average interest-bearing liabilities (as a percent of average earnings
          assets)  increased  1.2% to 88.1% for the nine months ended  September
          30, 2000 from 86.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

     *    net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased to 4.02% for
          the nine months  ended  September  30,  2000,  from 4.06% for the nine
          months ended September 30, 1999.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 was $100,000 and $150,000, respectively, and was $400,000 and $450,000,
respectively,  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and  1999.  For

OTHER INCOME

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

three  months  ended  and nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 and 1999 (in

</TABLE>

*    Total non-interest income decreased to $4,741,000 for the nine months ended
     September 30, 2000, compared to $5,020,000 for the same period in 1999.

*    Trust revenues  decreased $97,000 or 6.6% to $1,362,000 for the nine months
     ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to  $1,459,000  for the same period in
     1999.

     Trust assets,  reported at market value, were $307 million at September 30,
     2000,  $324 million at December 31, 1999 and $316 million at September  30,
     1999.

*    Revenues from brokerage and annuity sales increased $30,000 or 8.8% for the
     nine months  ended  September  30, 2000,  compared  with the same period in
     1999, as a result of increased sales of annuities.

*    Fees from service charges increased  $146,000 or 8.4% to $1,836,000 for the
     nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to $1,690,000 for the same
     period in 1999.  This  increase  was  primarily  due to an  increase in the
     number of savings  and  transaction  accounts  and an  increase in the fees
     charged on deposit accounts.

*    Security  gains  (losses)  showed a net loss of $3,000 for the nine  months
     ended  September 30, 2000 as compared with no net gain or loss for the same
     period in 1999.

*    Mortgage  banking  income  decreased  $305,000 or 53.9% to $261,000 for the
     nine months ended  September  30,  2000,  compared to $566,000 for the same
     period in 1999. This decrease was due to a lower number of fixed rate loans
     originated  and sold by First Mid Bank.  This decrease in volume is largely
     attributed  to fewer  re-financings  by  customers  as a result  of  rising
     interest rates. Loans sold are as follows:

     *    $11.7  million  (representing  163  loans) for the nine  months  ended
          September 30, 2000.
     *    $34.0  million  (representing  439  loans) for the nine  months  ended
          September 30, 1999.

*    Other  income  decreased  $50,000 or 5.2% to  $915,000  for the nine months
     ended September 30, 2000, compared to $965,000 for the same period in 1999.
     This  decrease  was  partially  attributed  to a gain  on the  sale of real
     property during second quarter 1999.

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, 2000 and 1999 (in thousands):

</TABLE>

*    Total  non-interest  expense  increased to $14,901,000  for the nine months
     ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to $14,202,000  for the same period in
     1999.

*    Salaries and employee  benefits,  the largest  component of other  expense,
     increased  $403,000  or  5.6%  to  $7,545,000  for the  nine  months  ended
     September  30, 2000,  compared to  $7,142,000  for the same period in 1999.
     This increase can be explained by merit increases for continuing employees,
     addition  of  the  employees  of the  Monticello,  Taylorville  and  DeLand
     branches  in May,  1999 and the  addition of the  employees  of the Decatur
     branch in April, 2000.

     There were 269 FTE employees at September 30, 2000.

*    Occupancy and equipment  expense  increased  $178,000 or 7.1% to $2,702,000
     for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to $2,524,000  for
     the same  period  in 1999.  This  increase  included  depreciation  expense
     recorded  on  technology  equipment  placed  in  service  as  well  as  the
     depreciation  expense on  buildings  in  Monticello,  Taylorville,  DeLand,
     Tuscola and Decatur.

*    Amortization of intangible  assets increased  $212,000 or 31.0% to $896,000
     for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  compared to $684,000 for the
     same period in 1999. This increase was due to the goodwill and core deposit
     intangibles associated with the purchase of the Monticello, Taylorville and
     DeLand branch acquisition in May, 1999.

*    All other  categories of operating  expenses  decreased a net of $94,000 or
     2.4% to $3,758,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  compared
     to $3,852,000 for the same period in 1999.  Most of this decrease is due to
     less expense for supplies,  legal and other  professional  fees  associated
     with  the  purchase  of  the  Monticello,  Taylorville  and  DeLand  branch
     acquisition in May, 1999.

INCOME TAXES

     Total income tax expense  amounted to $1,474,000  for the nine months ended
September  30,  2000,  compared  to  $1,695,000  for the  same  period  in 1999.
Effective  tax rates  were  25.9% and 30.1%  for the nine  month  periods  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. The Company donated  property with a current market
value in excess of the book value to the local school district during the second
quarter of 2000,  which led to a lower tax  expense  and  effective  tax rate in
2000.

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS

LOANS

     The loan portfolio is the largest category of the Company's earning assets.
The following  table  summarizes  the  composition  of the loan  portfolio as of
September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 (in thousands):

                                September 30,            DECEMBER 31,
                                    2000                     1999

  Total loans                    $423,181                 $388,319


     At September 30, 2000, the Company had loan  concentrations in agricultural
industries of $67.1 million,  or 15.9%, of outstanding  loans and $59.5 million,
or 15.3%,  at  December  31,  1999.  The Company  had no further  industry  loan
concentrations in excess of 10% of outstanding loans.

     Real estate mortgage loans have averaged approximately 70% of the Company's
total loan portfolio for the past several years.  This is the result of a strong
local housing  market and the Company's  historical  focus on  residential  real
estate  lending.  The  balance of real  estate  loans held for sale  amounted to
$649,000 as of September 30, 2000.

     The  following  table  presents  the  balance  of loans  outstanding  as of
September 30, 2000, by maturities (dollars in thousands):

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

     As of September 30, 2000,  loans with maturities over one year consisted of
approximately  $249,181,000 in fixed rate loans and $37,345,000 in variable rate
loans. The loan maturities  noted above are based on the contractual  provisions
of the  individual  loans.  Rollovers  and  borrower  requests  are handled on a
case-by-case basis.

NONPERFORMING LOANS

     Nonperforming loans include: (a) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis;
(b) accruing loans  contractually past due ninety days or more as to interest or
principal  payments;  and loans  not  included  in (a) and (b)  above  which are
defined as "renegotiated loans".

     The following table presents information concerning the aggregate amount of
nonperforming loans at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 (in thousands):

     The Company's  policy  generally is to discontinue  the accrual of interest
income on any loan for which  principal  or interest is ninety days past due and
when, in the opinion of management,  there is reasonable  doubt as to the timely
collection  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
collection of interest or principal.

LOAN QUALITY AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The allowance for loan losses represents  management's best estimate of the
reserve necessary to adequately cover probable losses in the loan portfolio. The
provision  for loan  losses  is the  charge  against  current  earnings  that is
determined by management as the amount needed to maintain an 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 which extends
to the full  range of the  Company's  credit  exposure.  The  review  process is
directed by overall lending policy and is intended to identify,  at the earliest
possible  stage,  borrowers  who  might be  facing  financial  difficulty.  Once
identified,  the magnitude of exposure to individual  borrowers is quantified in
the form of specific  allocations  of the allowance for loan losses.  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 renegotiated  loans and the current
economic conditions in the region where the Company operates.

     Management recognizes that there are risk factors which are inherent in the
Company's loan portfolio.  All financial institutions face risk factors in their
loan  portfolios  because  risk  exposure  is a function  of the  business.  The
Company's  operations (and therefore its loans) are concentrated in east central
Illinois,  an area where  agriculture  is the  dominant  industry.  Accordingly,
lending and other business relationships with  agriculture-based  businesses are
critical to the Company's  success.  At September 30, 2000,  the Company's  loan
portfolio  included  $67.1 million of loans to borrowers  whose  businesses  are
directly related to agriculture.  The balance remained stable from $59.5 million
at December 31, 1999. While the Company adheres to sound underwriting  practices
including collateralization of loans, an extended period of low commodity prices
and/or  significantly  reduced yields on crops could  nevertheless  result in an
increase in the level of problem agriculture loans.


     Loan loss experience for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

     The Company  minimizes  credit risk by adhering to sound  underwriting  and
credit  review  policies.  These  policies are reviewed at least  annually,  and
changes are approved by the board of  directors.  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 monthly basis, the board of directors reviews the status
of problem  loans.  In addition to internal  policies and  controls,  regulatory
authorities  periodically  review asset quality and the overall  adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses.

     During the first nine months of 2000,  the Company had net  charge-offs  of
$157,000,  compared to $316,000 for the same period in 1999.  At  September  30,
2000,  the allowance for loan losses  amounted to  $3,182,000,  or .75% of total
loans, and 122.7% of  nonperforming  loans. At September 30, 1999, the allowance
was $2,999,000, or .79% of total loans, and 115.8% of nonperforming loans.

SECURITIES

     The  Company's  overall  investment  goal  is to  maximize  earnings  while
maintaining  liquidity in securities  having  minimal credit risk. The types and
maturities of securities  purchased are primarily based on the Company's current
and projected liquidity and interest rate sensitivity  positions.  The following
table sets forth the amortized cost of the securities for September 30, 2000 and

</TABLE>

     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 repayment history.  However,  where securities have call
features, and have a market value in excess of par value, the call date has been
used to determine the expected maturity.

     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, 2000.

     Investment   securities   carried   at   approximately   $135,827,000   and
$124,368,000 at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively,  were pledged

     Securities sold under  agreements to repurchase are short-term  obligations
of First Mid Bank. First Mid Bank collateralizes  these obligations with certain
government  securities which 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.

     Federal Home Loan Bank advances  represent  borrowings by First Mid Bank to
economically fund loan demand.  This loan demand was previously funded primarily
through time deposits by the State of Illinois. The fixed term advances consists
primarily of the following:

     *    $5 million  advance  with a 5- year  maturity,  no call  option by the
          Federal  Home Loan  Bank for one  year,  first  call  3/20/01,  and an
          interest rate of 6.16%.

     *    $5 million  advance  with a 5- year  maturity,  no call  option by the
          Federal Home Loan Bank for six months and quarterly thereafter,  first
          call 6/6/01, and an interest rate of 6.12%.

     *    $2.3 million  advance with a 5- year  maturity,  no call option by the
          Federal Home Loan Bank for nine months and quarterly thereafter, first
          call 1/7/01, and an interest rate of 6.10%.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

     The Company seeks to maximize its net interest  margin within an acceptable
level of interest rate risk.  Interest rate risk can be defined as the amount of
forecasted  net  interest  income that may be gained or lost due to favorable or
unfavorable  movements in interest  rates.  Interest rate risk, or  sensitivity,
arises  when  the  maturity  or  repricing   characteristics  of  assets  differ
significantly from the maturity or repricing characteristics of liabilities.

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

     In the  banking  industry,  a  traditional  measurement  of  interest  rate
sensitivity  is  known  as  "GAP"   analysis,   which  measures  the  cumulative
differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities  maturing or repricing
at various intervals. The following table sets forth the Company's interest rate
repricing  gaps  for  selected  maturity  periods  at  September  30,  2000  (in
thousands):

</TABLE>

     At September 30, 2000, the Company was liability  sensitive on a cumulative
basis through the twelve-month  time horizon.  Accordingly,  future increases in
interest  rates,  if any, could have an  unfavorable  effect on the net interest
margin.  The  Company's  ability to lag the market in  repricing  deposits  in a
rising interest rate environment eases the implied liability  sensitivity of the
Company.

     Interest rate sensitivity  using a static GAP analysis basis is only one of
several  measurements  of the impact of interest  rate  changes on net  interest
income used by the Company.  Its actual  usefulness  in assessing  the effect of
changes in interest  rates varies with the constant  changes  which occur in the
composition of the Company's  earning assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities.
For this reason,  the Company uses financial  models to project  interest income
under  various  rate  scenarios  and  assumptions  relative to the  prepayments,
reinvestment  and rollovers of assets and  liabilities,  of which First Mid Bank
represents  substantially  all  of  the  Company's  rate  sensitive  assets  and
liabilities.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At  September  30,  2000,  the  Company's  stockholders'  equity  increased
$3,645,000  or 7.1% to  $55,163,000  from  $51,518,000  as of December 31, 1999.
During  the first nine  months of 2000,  net income  contributed  $4,209,000  to
equity before the payment of dividends to common stockholders. The change in net
unrealized  gain/loss  on  available-for-sale  investment  securities  increased
stockholders' equity by $945,000, net of tax.

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


     Quantitative  measures  established  by each  regulatory  agency  to ensure
capital adequacy require the reporting  institutions to maintain a minimum total
risk-based  capital ratio of 8% and a minimum  leverage ratio of 3% for the most
highly-rated banks that do not expect significant growth. All other institutions
are required to maintain a minimum  leverage  ratio of 4%.  Management  believes
that as of  September  30,  2000 and  December  31,  1999 all  capital  adequacy
requirements have been met by the Company and First Mid Bank.

     As of September  30, 2000,  the most recent  notification  from the primary
regulators  categorized the Company and First Mid Bank as well capitalized under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized,  minimum total risk- based,  Tier 1 risk-based  and Tier 1 leverage
ratios must be maintained as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or
events since that  notification  that  management  believes  have changed  these
categories.

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

STOCK PLANS

     The Company has four plans  through which Company stock may be purchased by
participants,  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 1999 Form 10-K.

*    The DEFERRED  COMPENSATION  PLAN was effective as of September,  1984.  Its
     purpose is to allow  directors,  advisory  directors,  and key  officers to
     defer a portion of the fees and cash  compensation paid by the Company as a
     means of maximizing  the  effectiveness  and  flexibility  of  compensation
     arrangements.

*    The FIRST  RETIREMENT  AND SAVINGS  PLAN was  effective  beginning in 1985.
     Employees  are  eligible to  participate  in this plan after nine months of
     service to the Company.

*    The  DIVIDEND  REINVESTMENT  PLAN was  effective as of October,  1994.  The
     purpose of this plan is to provide participating stockholders with a simple
     and convenient  method of investing cash common stock dividends paid by the
     Company into  newly-issued  common  shares of the  Company.  All holders of
     record of the Company's common stock are eligible to participate. This plan
     is  administered  by Harris  Trust  and  Savings  Bank and  offers a way to
     increase one's investment in the Company.

*    The STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN was established by the Company in December,  1997,
     and is intended to provide a means whereby  directors and certain  officers
     can acquire  shares of the  Company's  common  stock.  A maximum of 100,000
     shares have been authorized under this plan. Options to acquire shares will
     be awarded  at an  exercise  price  equal to the fair  market  value of the
     shares on the date of grant.  Options  to  acquire  shares  have a 10- year
     term.  Options  granted to employees vest over a four year period and those
     options granted to directors vest at the time they are issued.

     The Company announced a Stock Repurchase  Program in August,  1998 to allow
the Company to  repurchase  up to 3% of its common stock.  In March,  2000,  the
Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of 5% in addition to
the original 3% of its common stock under the current Stock Repurchase  Program.
The shares will be repurchased at the most recent market price of the stock. The
Company  repurchased  51,843 shares (2.2%) at a total price of $1,637,000 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 9,696 shares (.4%) at a total price
of $337,000 for the year ended  December 31, 1999. A total of 75,078 shares have
been  repurchased  from the inception of this program to September 30, 2000, and
are held in treasury.

LIQUIDITY

     Liquidity  represents  the ability of the Company and its  subsidiaries  to
meet the requirements of customers for loans and deposit withdrawals.  Liquidity
management  focuses  on the  ability  to  obtain  funds  economically  for these
purposes  and to maintain  assets  which may be  converted  into cash at minimal
costs.  Other  sources for cash  include  deposits of the State of Illinois  and
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. At September 30, 2000, the excess collateral at
the Federal Home Loan Bank will support  approximately $47 million of additional
advances.

     Management monitors its expected liquidity requirements carefully, focusing
primarily on cash flows from:

*    lending  activities,  including  loan  commitments,  letters  of credit and
     mortgage prepayment assumptions.

*    deposit activities, including seasonal demand of private and public funds.
*    investing activities,  including prepayments of mortgage-backed  securities
     and call provisions on U.S. Government Treasuries and Agencies.
*    operating activities,  including scheduled debt repayments and dividends to
     shareholders.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

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

FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,  "ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE   INSTRUMENTS  AND  HEDGING   ACTIVITIES"   ("SFAS  133").  SFAS  133
standardizes  the  accounting  for  derivative  instruments,  including  certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. Under the standard, entities
are required to carry all  derivative  instruments  in the balance sheet at fair
value.  The  accounting  for  changes in fair value of a  derivative  instrument
depends on whether it has been  designated  and  qualifies  as part of a hedging
relationship  and,  if so, on the reason for holding it. The gain or loss due to
changes in fair value is recognized in earnings or as other comprehensive income
in the statement of  stockholders'  equity,  depending on the type of instrument
and whether or not it is considered a hedge. In June, 1999, the FASB issued SFAS
137,  "ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE  INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES -- DEFERRAL
OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF STATEMENT NO. 133." This statement  defers the adoption
of SFAS 133 to fiscal years  beginning after June 15, 2000. The FASB issued SFAS
No. 138,  "ACCOUNTING  FOR CERTAIN  DERIVATIVE  INSTRUMENTS  AND CERTAIN HEDGING
ACTIVITIES,  AN  AMENDMENT  OF FASB  STATEMENT  NO.  133" in  June  2000,  which
addressed  various  implementation  issues relating to SFAS 133. Adoption of the
above  statements  is not  expected to have a material  impact on the  Company's
financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

     Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 140 "ACCOUNTING
FOR  TRANSFERS  AND  SERVICING  OF  FINANCIAL  ASSETS  AND   EXTINGUISHMENTS  OF
LIABILITIES",  was issued by the Financial  Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in
September  of 2000.  SFAS No. 140  supersedes  and  replaces  FASB SFAS No. 125,
"ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND  EXTINGUISHMENTS
OF LIABILITIES".  Accordingly,  SFAS No. 140 is now the authoritative accounting
literature for transfers and servicing of financial  assets and  extinguishments
of  liabilities.  SFAS  No.  140 also  includes  several  additional  disclosure
requirements  in  the  area  of  securitized  financial  assets  and  collateral
arrangements.  The  provisions of SFAS No. 140 related to transfers of financial
assets are to be applied to all transfers of financial  assets  occurring  after
March 31, 2001. The collateral recognition and disclosure provisions in SFAS No.
140 are effective for fiscal years ending after  December 15, 2000.  The Company
anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 140 will not have a material impact on
the Company's results of operations.

PENDING LITIGATION

     Heartland  Savings Bank, a subsidiary of the Company that merged with First
Mid Bank during 1997,  filed a complaint  on December 5, 1995,  against the U.S.
Government  which  is now  pending  in the  U.S.  Court  of  Federal  Claims  in
Washington D.C. Refer to "PART II, ITEM 1, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS".


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     There has been no material  change in the market risks faced by the Company
since December 31, 1999. 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, 1999.

PART II
ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

     In addition to the normal proceedings referred to above,  Heartland Savings
Bank ("Heartland"),  a subsidiary of the Company that merged with First Mid Bank
during 1997, filed a complaint on December 5, 1995, against the U.S.  Government
which is now pending in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington D.C. This
complaint  relates to  Heartland's  interest  as  successor  to Mattoon  Federal
Savings and Loan Association which incurred a significant  amount of supervisory
goodwill when it acquired Urbana Federal Savings and Loan in 1982. The complaint
alleges that the U.S. Government  breached its contractual  obligations when, in
1989, it issued new rules which eliminated  supervisory  goodwill from inclusion
in regulatory capital. On August 6, 1998, First Mid Bank filed a motion with the
U.S. Court of Federal Claims to grant summary  judgement on liability for breach
of contract in this matter.  On August 13,  1998,  the U.S.  Government  filed a
motion to stay such proceedings.  At this time, it is too early to tell if First
Mid Bank will  prevail in its motion and, if so, what  damages,  if any,  may be
recovered.
