FIRST MID-ILLINOIS BANCSHARES, INC. Dated: August 8, 2006 /s/ William S. Rowland William S. Rowland President and Chief Executive Officer INDEX TO EXHIBITS Exhibit Number Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 Quarterly shareholder report issued August 8, 2006 Exhibit 99 [GRAPHIC OMITTED][GRAPHIC OMITTED] The financial performance of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. was good during the first six months of 2006 with diluted earnings per share increasing 5% to $1.11 compared to $1.06 per share during the same period in 2005. Net income increased to $4,926,000 for the first half of 2006 compared to $4,797,000 for the first half of 2005. As a result of this performance, the Board of Directors elected to increase the dividend to $.26 per share for the first half of 2006 from $.24 per share for the first half of 2005. The dividend was paid on June 15 to shareholders of record as of June 1. On May 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Peoples State Bank of Mansfield. This means that the 2006 consolidated financial statements include the results of Peoples since that date. I am pleased to report that for the first two months of operation Peoples has provided a positive contribution to earnings and the integration is on schedule for a third quarter combination of Peoples with First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, N.A. Net interest income is our largest source of revenue and increased to $14,905,000 for the first six months of 2006 from $14,297,000 for the same period last year. This increase is the result of growth resulting from the Peoples acquisition as well as organic growth. A challenging rate environment and intense competition for loans and deposits has led to further contraction of the net interest margin. Our net interest margin for 2006 is 3.58% and compared to 3.73% for the first six months of 2005. Loan balances on June 30, 2006 were $718 million as compared to $638 million on December 31, 2005 with the majority of this growth in commercial real estate loans. Additionally, $55 million in loan balances were added with the Peoples acquisition. Deposit balances on June 30, 2006 were $780 million compared to $649 million on December 31, 2005 with $114 million added with Peoples. Non-interest income amounted to $6,548,000 for the first six months of 2006 compared to $6,244,000 in 2005. Increases in long-term interest rates led to a decline in mortgage banking revenues, but service charge income from deposit accounts and insurance commissions increased. During the first six months of 2005, we recognized $254,000 of securities gains whereas no security gains were recognized in the first six months of 2006. Non-interest expense increased to $13,666,000 compared with $12,800,000 in 2005. This increase is attributed to the Peoples acquisition, the opening of a branch in Highland, Illinois in March 2005, and the new location for The Checkley Agency, Inc. which opened in June 2005. In addition, we began expensing stock options in 2006 per the new accounting regulations. This accounting change resulted in additional compensation expense of $92,000 being recorded in the first six months of 2006. In previous years, this amount has been shown only in the footnotes to the financial statements. We continue to stress the importance of credit quality. Total non-performing assets were $4.2 million on June 30, 2006 as compared to $4.1 million on June 30, 2005 and remain below peer bank averages. Our provision for loan losses amounted to $404,000 for the first six months of 2006 as compared to $337,000 for the first six months of 2005. Net charge-offs were $234,000 for the first six months of 2006 compared to $271,000 for the same period last year. As mentioned, we have completed the acquisition of Peoples and begun to expand services in its markets. In June, we completed the installation of an ATM in Mahomet. Also, any Peoples customer can now use the First Mid network of over 30 ATMs. We continue to work diligently to combine the operations of Peoples and First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, N.A. and anticipate this to be completed during the third quarter, 2006. At that time, services such as electronic banking and remote deposit will be available for all of our customers. While we are cognizant of the many challenges facing our industry, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and confident of the future. Thank you for your continued support of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. Sincerely, /s/ William S.
