MID-ILLINOIS BANCSHARES, INC. Dated: November 7, 2005 /s/ William S. Rowland William S. Rowland President and Chief Executive Officer INDEX TO EXHIBITS Exhibit Number Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 Quarterly shareholder report issued November 7, 2005 Exhibit 99 [GRAPHIC OMITTED][GRAPHIC OMITTED] The financial performance of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. was good during the first nine months of 2005 with diluted earnings per share increasing to $1.59 compared to $1.56 per share during the same period in 2004. Net income increased to $7,242,000 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $7,181,000 for the first nine months of 2004. One factor in the earnings growth was greater non-interest income. Non-interest income increased to $9,381,000 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $8,717,000 for the same period in 2004. Increased residential mortgage originations and greater refinance activity as a result of lower long-term interest rates led to mortgage banking revenues increasing by $221,000 for the first nine months of 2005. Also, we sold securities that resulted in gains of $223,000 greater than last year as market opportunities factored in the decisions to sell. As a result of new business underwritten through The Checkley Agency, Inc., insurance commissions were $152,000 greater for the first nine months of 2005 than for the first nine months of 2004. Net interest income also increased in 2005 to $21,546,000 compared to $21,187,000 for the first nine months of 2004 as we have continued to grow loans and deposits. Loan balances have increased during the year from $598 million on December 31, 2004 to $632 million on September 30, 2005. Deposit balances also increased from $650 million at year-end to $668 million on September 30, 2005. Loan balances have increased due to growth in commercial real estate loans, while deposits have increased as a result of growth in CDs and checking account balances. The balance sheet growth has more than compensated for the decline in margin. The Company's year-to-date net interest margin is 3.69% compared with 3.78% for the first nine months of last year. Short-term interest rates have increased, leading to greater funding costs. Our provision for loan losses amounted to $550,000 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $437,000 for the same period in 2004. Net charge-offs were $497,000 for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $303,000 for the same period last year. Total non-performing assets were $3.8 million on September 30, 2005 compared with $4.0 million on December 31, 2004. Non-interest expenses increased to $19.2 million for the first nine months of 2005 compared to $18.7 million for the same period in 2004 as a result of increased costs incurred with the addition to staff in opening the new Highland banking facility and greater professional fees. During the quarter, The Checkley Agency, Inc. completed the move of its office location to the corner of Route 16 and Lerna Road. The expansion in office space will serve us well as we continue to grow this line of business. Also, we continued to add new products and services for our customers with the addition of remote deposit. Remote deposit is a check processing tool that allows business customers to make deposits electronically without having to physically take the deposit to the bank. A desktop scanner and PC-based software are used by the business to complete deposit transactions. In this era of high transportation costs and with many businesses having tremendous demands on their time, this service will be of great benefit to customers and is available through our business banking services area. In addition, beginning in 1998, First Mid adopted an ongoing share repurchase program to ensure that shareholders have adequate investment liquidity. This program has been successful in enhancing shareholder value. During the third quarter of 2005, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of $5 million of additional shares of the Company's common stock in open market and privately-negotiated transactions. Any shareholder who would like to sell their stock should contact Christie L. Wright, Vice-President of Shareholder Services at (217) 258-0493. We continue to work diligently to provide financial solutions for our customers. Thank you for your continued support of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. Sincerely, /s/ William S.
