FIRST MID-ILLINOIS BANCSHARES, INC. Dated: November 8, 2006 /s/ William S. Rowland William S. Rowland Chairman and Chief Executive Officer INDEX TO EXHIBITS Exhibit Number Description -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 99 Quarterly shareholder report issued November 8, 2006 Exhibit 99 [GRAPHIC OMITTED][GRAPHIC OMITTED] The financial performance of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. was good during the first nine months of 2006 with diluted earnings per share increasing 4% to $1.66 compared to $1.59 per share during the same period in 2005. Net income increased to $7,359,000 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $7,242,000 for the first nine months of 2005. 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 five months of operation Peoples has provided a positive contribution to earnings. In addition, the integration and combination of Peoples into First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust, N.A. was completed as scheduled during the third quarter. Net interest income is our largest source of revenue and increased to $22,748,000 for the first nine months of 2006 from $21,546,000 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 contraction of the net interest margin. Our net interest margin for 2006 is 3.50% as compared to 3.69% for the first nine months of 2005. Loan balances on September 30, 2006 were $727 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 September 30, 2006 were $791 million compared to $649 million on December 31, 2005 with $114 million added with Peoples. Non-interest income amounted to $9,824,000 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $9,381,000 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 nine months of 2005, we recognized $315,000 in gains on the sales of securities whereas we recognized only $66,000 in gains during the first nine months of 2006 due to the interest rate environment and investment portfolio liquidity requirements. Non-interest expense increased to $20,947,000 compared with $19,193,000 in 2005. This increase is primarily attributed to the Peoples acquisition. In addition, we began expensing stock options in 2006 per new accounting regulations. This accounting change resulted in additional compensation expense of $135,000 being recorded in the first nine 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 September 30, 2006 as compared to $3.8 million on September 30, 2005. Our provision for loan losses amounted to $575,000 for the first nine months of 2006 as compared to $550,000 for the first nine months of 2005. Net charge-offs were $652,000 for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $497,000 for the same period last year. In addition to the growth of our balance sheet and growth in the number of banking locations, I am pleased to report that we continue to move forward with opportunities to add to the expertise and depth of professional bankers in our Company. With our expansion in Champaign and Piatt counties through the Peoples acquisition, we have added Mitchel Swim to our commercial banking team. Mitch is a Mahomet resident and brings over 16 years of lending experience. In addition, we have added Stacy Womack as Vice President of Employee Benefits. Stacy brings a wealth of experience in assisting customers with group health insurance and employee benefit plans. Stacy has over 16 years of experience in this business. We have also recently added William Drake to lead our retail lending efforts in Madison and St. Clair Counties. Bill has 21 years of banking experience with a large regional bank. The addition of these quality individuals demonstrates our desire to provide the expertise needed to determine the best financial solutions for our customers. I would like to also thank Bob Swift for his years of service with First Mid. Bob recently announced that he will be resigning from First Mid in December to take a position with a bank in Colorado. We wish him well in his new position. Susan Young, one of our Senior Vice-Presidents, will assume the leadership responsibilities for the trust and wealth management division. Susan has managed operations for the area for the past several years and provides a wealth of experience in investment, tax, and estate planning. Thank you for your continued support of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. Sincerely, /s/ William S.
