MAIN STREET TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Main Street Trust, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2003, and schedules included in Main Street Trust, Inc.'s Form 10-K filed on March 12, 2004. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements of Main Street Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries, as of March 31, 2004 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of those periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. Certain amounts in the 2003 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2004 presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders' equity. Note 2. Company Information/Business Combination Main Street Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), an Illinois corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company was incorporated on August 12, 1999, and is the parent company of BankIllinois, The First National Bank of Decatur and FirsTech, Inc. On March 23, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of BankIllinois, The First National Bank of Decatur, First Trust Bank of Shelbyville and FirsTech, Inc. following the merger of BankIllinois Financial Corporation and First Decatur Bancshares, Inc. into the Company. The merger, which was accounted for as a pooling of interests, was completed on March 23, 2000. The Company subsequently merged the Company's former banking subsidiary, First Trust Bank of Shelbyville, into BankIllinois effective June 19, 2002. On June 14, 2001, the Company was certified by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as a financial holding company. This designation allows the Company to engage in a wider range of nonbanking activities, including greater authority to engage in securities and insurance activities. However, the Company has no current plans to do so. The Company completed a tender offer on June 7, 2002 with 711,832 shares, representing approximately 6.3% of the total shares then outstanding, repurchased at a cost, including expenses, of $16.556 million. The Company completed a second tender offer on September 30, 2003 with 1,074,140 shares, representing approximately 10.2% of the total shares then outstanding, repurchased at a cost, including expenses, of approximately $32.395 million. Note 3. Income per Share Net income per common share has been computed as follows: Three Months Ended ------------------------------- March 31, ------------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------------------------- Net Income $ 3,943,000 $ 4,298,000 =============================== Shares: Weighted average common shares outstanding 9,509,487 10,479,172 Dilutive effect of outstanding options, as determined by the application of the treasury ------------------------------- stock method 120,854 103,051 Weighted average common shares oustanding, as adjusted 9,630,341 10,582,223 =============================== Basic earnings per share $ 0.41 $ 0.41 =============================== Diluted earnings per share $ 0.41 $ 0.41 =============================== Note 4. Stock Option Plans The Company has established a stock incentive plan, which provides for the granting of options of the Company's common stock to certain directors, officers and employees. As permitted under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, grants of options under the plans are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Because options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date, no stock-based employee compensation cost is included in determining net income. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (in thousands, except per share data and earnings per share) if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation. March 31, ------------------------ 2004 2003 ------------------------ Net income on common stock: As reported $ 3,943 $ 4,298 Deduct total stock-based compensation expense determined under the fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects (95) (45) ------------------------ Pro forma $ 3,848 $ 4,253 ======================== Basic earnings per share: As reported $ 0.41 $ 0.41 Pro forma 0.40 0.41 Diluted earnings per share: As reported $ 0.41 $ 0.41 Pro forma 0.40 0.40 The fair value of the stock options granted has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option - pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions. In addition, such models require the use of subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility. In management's opinion, such valuation models may not necessarily provide the best single measure of option value. March 31, --------------------- 2004 2003 --------------------- Number of options granted 140,500 129,000 Risk-free interest rate 3.94% 3.64% Expected life, in years 8.00 8.00 Expected volatility 15.95% 13.35% Expected dividend yield 2.75% 2.42% Note 5. Commitments and Financial Instruments The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Management does not anticipate any significant losses as a result of these transactions. The following table summarizes these financial instruments and commitments (in thousands) at March 31, 2004 and 2003: March 31, ---------------------------- 2004 2003 ---------------------------- Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk: Commitments $ 251,729 $ 202,678 Standby letters of credit 18,419 8,640 The majority of commitments are agreements to extend credit to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments, principally variable interest rates, generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. For commitments to extend credit, the Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant and equipment; and income-producing commercial properties. Also included in commitments is $3.440 million to purchase other equity securities. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and, generally, have terms of one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Banks may hold collateral, which include accounts receivables, inventory, property and equipment, and income producing properties, supporting those commitments, if deemed necessary. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Banks would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Banks could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment is funded, the Banks would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Banks' potential obligations under these guarantees. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition Assets and Liabilities Total assets increased $28.428 million, or 2.5%, to $1.183 billion at March 31, 2004 compared to $1.154 billion at December 31, 2003. Increases in loans, investments in debt and equity securities, mortgage loans held for sale and accrued interest receivable were partially offset by decreases in cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits, premises and equipment, and other assets. Cash and due from banks decreased $10.069 million, or 21.9% to $35.830 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $45.899 million at December 31, 2003, primarily due to a smaller dollar amount of deposit items in process of collection at March 31, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003. Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits decreased $7.832 million, or 26.1%, to $22.172 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $30.004 million at December 31, 2003. Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits fluctuate with loan demand, deposit volume and investment opportunities. Total investments in debt and equity securities increased $20.800 million, or 5.6%, to $391.526 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $370.726 million at December 31, 2003. This overall increase was primarily due to an increase in investments in securities held-to-maturity of $19.595 million, or 20.2%, and an increase in securities available-for-sale of $1.208 million, or 0.5%. Investments fluctuate with loan demand, deposit volume and investment opportunities. Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, increased $24.983 million, or 3.7%, to $691.242 million at March 31, 2004 from $666.259 million at December 31, 2003. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans increased $25.766 million, or 10.3%, primarily as a result of the favorable rate environment, the Company's emphasis on business development and relative improvement in the economy in recent months. Real estate loans increased $1.205 million, or 0.3%. Installment and consumer loans decreased $1.823 million, or 2.4%, primarily due to competition from alternative funding sources available to consumers, such as special financing offered by the auto manufacturers' captive financing companies. Mortgage loans held for sale increased $1.515 million, or 239.7%, to $2.147 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $632,000 at December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily due to a higher volume of loan originations in March 2004 compared to December 2003 as a result of a drop in interest rates in March 2004 and the timing of subsequent sales of those loans. Premises and equipment decreased $518,000, or 2.9%, from $17.622 million at December 31, 2003 to $17.104 million at March 31, 2004. The decrease included depreciation and amortization expense of $648,000 and proceeds from sale of property of $623,000, offset somewhat by purchases of $460,000 and gain on disposal of property of $293,000. Total liabilities increased $25.107 million, or 2.4%, to $1.068 billion at March 31, 2004 from $1.043 billion at December 31, 2003. Increases in total deposits, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and notes payable, accrued interest payable and other liabilities were somewhat offset by a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings. Total deposits increased $11.749 million, or 1.3%, to $910.221 million at March 31, 2004 from $898.472 million at December 31, 2003. Interest bearing deposits increased $13.710 million, or 1.9%, and were somewhat offset by a decrease of $1.961 million, or 1.2%, in non-interest bearing deposits. Federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and notes payable increased $13.154 million, or 12.8%, to $116.152 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $102.998 million at December 31, 2003. Included in this change were increases of $11.604 million in repurchase agreements and $1.550 million in federal funds purchased. Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings decreased $41,000, or 0.1%, to $29.939 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $29.980 million at December 31, 2003.

Treasury stock transactions were $848,000, primarily due to stock option exercises. The change in shareholders' equity is summarized as follows: Shareholders' Equity (in thousands) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareholders' equity, December 31, 2003 $111,450 Net income 3,943 Treasury stock transactions, net 848 Stock appreciation rights (72) Cash dividends declared (2,002) Other comprehensive income 604 --------- Shareholders' equity, March 31, 2004 $114,771 ========= On March 16, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share of the Company's common stock. The dividend of $2.002 million was paid on April 23, 2004 to holders of record on April 9, 2004. The Company and its subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and its subsidiary banks' financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, banks must meet specific guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and its subsidiary banks' capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and its subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of March 31, 2004, that the Company and its subsidiary banks exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. As of March 31, 2004, the most recent notifications from primary regulatory agencies categorized both of the Company's subsidiary banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, banks must maintain minimum total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier I capital to average assets ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed any of the Company's subsidiary banks' categories. The Company's and the Banks' actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table (in thousands): To be well For capital capitalized under adequacy prompt corrective Actual purposes: action provisions: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of March 31, 2004: Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated $121,809 14.3% $67,939 8.0% N/A BankIllinois $ 61,105 11.6% $42,273 8.0% $52,842 10.0% First National Bank of Decatur $ 35,829 11.8% $24,252 8.0% $30,316 10.0% Tier I capital (to risk-weighted assets) Consolidated $111,739 13.2% $33,969 4.0% N/A BankIllinois $ 54,968 10.4% $21,137 4.0% $31,705 6.0% First National Bank of Decatur $ 32,038 10.6% $12,126 4.0% $18,189 6.0% Tier I capital (to average assets) Consolidated $111,739 9.5% $46,845 4.0% N/A BankIllinois $ 54,968 7.7% $28,534 4.0% $35,668 5.0% First National Bank of Decatur $ 32,038 7.2% $17,692 4.0% $22,115 5.0% Interest Rate Sensitivity The concept of interest rate sensitivity attempts to gauge exposure of the Company's net interest income to adverse changes in market driven interest rates by measuring the amount of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities maturing or subject to repricing within a specified time period. Liquidity represents the ability of the Company to meet the day-to-day demands of deposit customers balanced by its investments of these deposits. The Company must also be prepared to fulfill the needs of credit customers for loans with various types of maturities and other financing arrangements. The Company monitors its interest rate sensitivity and liquidity through the use of static gap reports which measure the difference between assets and liabilities maturing or repricing within specified time periods as well as financial forecasting/budgeting/reporting software packages. The following table presents the Company's interest rate sensitivity at various intervals at March 31, 2004: Rate Sensitivity of Earning Assets and Interest Bearing Liabilities (dollars in thousands) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1-30 31-90 91-180 181-365 Over Days Days Days Days 1 year Total -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest earning assets: Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits $ 22,172 $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- $ 22,172 Debt and equity securities 1 15,742 49,320 14,130 49,819 262,515 391,526 Loans 2 276,727 29,708 45,314 58,360 293,231 703,340 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total earning assets $ 314,641 $79,028 $ 59,444 $ 108,179 $ 555,746 $1,117,038 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest bearing liabilities: Savings and interest bearing demand deposits $ 45,869 $ 1,592 $ 2,388 $ 4,784 $ 181,632 $ 236,265 Money market savings deposits 160,041 -- -- -- -- 160,041 Time deposits 21,440 31,299 57,134 111,711 132,117 353,701 Federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, and notes payable 113,397 422 1,665 83 585 116,152 FHLB advances and other borrowings 7,268 10,000 -- 92 12,579 29,939 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest bearing liabilities $ 348,015 $43,313 $ 61,187 $116,670 $ 326,913 $ 896,098 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net asset (liability) funding gap (33,374) 35,715 (1,743) (8,491) 228,833 220,940 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Repricing gap 0.90 1.82 0.97 0.93 1.70 1.25 Cumulative repricing gap 0.90 1.01 1.00 0.99 1.25 1.25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Debt and equity securities include securities available-for-sale, securities held-to-maturity, and non-marketable equity securities. 2 Loans are gross and include mortgage loans held-for-sale. Included in the 1-30 day category of savings and interest-bearing demand deposits are non-core deposits plus a percentage, based upon industry-accepted assumptions and Company analysis, of the core deposits. "Core deposits" are the lowest average balance of the prior twelve months for each product type included in this category. "Non-core deposits" are the difference between the current balance and core deposits. The time frames include a percentage, based upon industry-accepted assumptions and Company analysis, of the core deposits, as follows: 1-30 Days 31-90 Days 91-180 Days 181-365 Days Over 1 Year -------------------------------------------------------- Savings and interest-bearing demand deposits 0.45% 0.85% 1.25% 2.45% 95.00% At March 31, 2004, the Company was slightly liability-sensitive in the 1-30 days category and slightly asset-sensitive in the 1-90 day category. As such, the effect of a decrease in the interest rate for all interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities of 100 basis points would increase annualized net interest income by approximately $334,000 in the 1-30 days category, but decrease annualized net interest income by approximately $23,000 in the 1-90 days category assuming no management intervention. An increase in interest rates would have the opposite effect for the same time periods. The Company's Asset and Liability Management Policy states that the cumulative ratio of rate-sensitive assets ("RSA") to rate-sensitive liabilities ("RSL") for the 12-month period should fall within the range of 0.75-1.25. As of March 31, 2004, the Company's RSA/RSL was 0.99, which was within the established guidelines. In addition to managing interest rate sensitivity and liquidity through the use of gap reports, the Company has provided for emergency liquidity situations with informal agreements with correspondent banks that permit the Company to borrow federal funds on an unsecured basis. Additionally, the Company has a $10 million unsecured line of credit with a correspondent bank, and can borrow approximately $54 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank on a secured basis. The Company uses financial forecasting/budgeting/reporting software packages to perform interest rate sensitivity analysis for all product categories. The Company's primary focus of its analysis is on the effect of interest rate increases and decreases on net interest income. Management believes that this analysis reflects the potential effects on current earnings of interest rate changes. Call criteria and prepayment assumptions are taken into consideration for investments in debt and equity securities. All of the Company's financial instruments are analyzed by a software database which includes each of the different product categories which are tied to key rates such as prime, Treasury Bills, or the federal funds rate. The relationships of each of the different products to the key rate that the product is tied to is proportional. The software reprices the products based on current offering rates. The software performs interest rate sensitivity analysis by performing rate shocks of plus or minus 200 basis points in 100 basis point increments. The following table shows projected results at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 of the impact on net interest income from an immediate change in interest rates. The results are shown as a percentage change in net interest income over the next twelve months. Basis Point Change ----------------------------------------------------- +200 +100 -100 -200 ---------------------------------------------------- March 31, 2004 13.1% 6.5% (6.5%) (13.1%) December 31, 2003 11.7% 5.9% (5.9%) (11.7%) The foregoing computations are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, prepayments and deposit mix. The computed estimates should not be relied upon as a projection of actual results. Despite the limitations on preciseness inherent in these computations, management believes that the information provided is reasonably indicative of the effect of changes in interest rate levels on the net earning capacity of the Company's current mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Management continues to use the results of these computations, along with the results of its computer model projections, in order to enhance earnings potential while positioning the Company to minimize the effect of a prolonged shift in interest rates that would adversely affect future results of operations. At the present time, the most significant market risk affecting the Company is interest rate risk. Other market risks such as foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk do not occur in the normal business of the Company. The Company also is not currently using trading activities or derivative instruments to control interest rate risk. Liquidity and Cash Flows The Company was able to meet liquidity needs during the first three months of 2004. A review of the consolidated statements of cash flows included in the accompanying financial statements shows that the Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased $17.901 million from December 31, 2003 to March 31, 2004. In general, funds provided by customer deposits, federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements, and notes payable, and maturities, calls and paydowns of investment securities are used to fund loans and purchase investment securities. Available funds are used to fund demand for loans that meet the Company's credit quality guidelines, with the remaining funds used to purchase investment securities and/or federal funds sold. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents came from cash used in investing offset somewhat by cash provided by financing and operating activities. There were differences in the sources and uses of cash during the first three months of 2004 compared to the first three months of 2003. More cash was used in investing activities during the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003. Cash was used in the area of loans during the first quarter of 2004 compared to cash provided by loans during the first quarter of 2003. Net loans increased during the first three months of 2004 compared to a decrease during the same period in 2003. Somewhat offsetting this increase in cash used in the area of loans was a net decrease in cash used in investing activities involving the Company's investment portfolio, which was $20.256 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $38.661 million during the same period in 2003. Cash was provided by financing activities during the first three months of 2004 compared to cash used during the same period in 2003. This was mainly due to funds provided by an increase in deposits during the first three months of 2004 compared to funds used as a result of deposits decreasing during the same period in 2003. Slightly less cash was provided by operating activities during the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that it has one critical accounting policy, allowance for loan losses, that is subject to estimates and judgements used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses is based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of national and local economic conditions, changes in the composition and volume of the loan portfolio, changes in the volume of past due and nonaccrual loans, and other relevant factors. The allowance for loan losses, which is reported as a deduction from loans, is available for loan charge-offs. The allowance is increased by the provision charged to expense and is reduced by loan charge-offs net of loan recoveries. The allowance is allocated between the commercial, financial and agricultural, residential real estate and installment and consumer loan portfolios according to the historical losses experienced in each of these portfolios as well as the current level of watch list loans and nonperforming loans for each portfolio. Loans for which borrower cash flow and the estimated liquidation value of collateral are inadequate to repay the total outstanding balance are evaluated separately and assigned a specific allocation. The unallocated portion of the allowance is determined by economic conditions and other factors mentioned above. The balance of the allowance for loan losses was $9.951 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $9.786 million at December 31, 2003, as net charge-offs were $165,000 and provisions totaled $330,000 during the first three months of 2004. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans, including loans held-for-sale, was 1.41% at March 31, 2004, compared to 1.45% at December 31, 2003. Gross loans, including loans held-for-sale, increased 3.9% to $703.340 million at March 31, 2004 from $676.677 million at December 31, 2003. One measure of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is the ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 391.2% at March 31, 2004 compared to 959.4% at December 31, 2003. Nonperforming loans increased from $1.020 million at December 31, 2003 to $2.544 million at March 31, 2004. The $1.524 million increase in nonperforming loans during the first three months of 2004 resulted from a $1.503 million increase in nonaccrual loans and an increase of $21,000 in loans past due 90 days or more. The increase in nonaccruals was primarily the result of the addition of one commercial loan in the amount of $1.435 million. As of March 31, 2004, a specific valuation allowance of $300,000 had been assigned to this loan, and the remaining balance was considered adequately collateralized. Management believes that nonperforming and potential problem loans are appropriately identified and monitored based on the extensive loan analysis performed by the credit administration department, the internal loan committees and the board of directors. Historically, there have not been a significant amount of loans charged off which had not been previously identified as problem loans by the credit administration department or the loan committees. The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses by loan categories for each period and additions to the allowance for loan losses which have been charged to operations.

Basic and diluted earnings per share remained stable at $0.41 per share in the first quarters of 2004 and 2003, primarily as a result of the Company utilizing approximately $32.4 million of its capital to repurchase 1,074,140 shares of Main Street Trust, Inc. common stock on September 30, 2003.

Notes to Consolidated Average Balance Sheet and Interest Rate Tables: 1 Investments in debt securities are included at carrying value. 2 Federal funds sold and interest bearing deposits included approximately $20,000 and $14,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, of interest income from third party processing of cashier checks. 3 Loans are net of allowance for loan losses and include mortgage loans held for sale. Nonaccrual loans are included in the total. 4 Loan fees of approximately $296,000 and $498,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively, were included in total loan income. Net interest income, the most significant component of the Company's earnings, is the difference between interest received or accrued on the Company's earning assets - primarily loans and investments - and interest paid or accrued on deposits and borrowings. In order to compare the interest generated from different types of earning assets, the interest income on certain tax-exempt investment securities and loans is increased for analysis purposes to reflect the income tax savings provided by these tax-exempt assets. The adjustment to interest income for tax-exempt investment securities and loans was calculated based on the federal income tax statutory rate of 35%. The following table presents, on a tax equivalent (TE) basis, an analysis of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in average volumes of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and average rates earned and paid. The change in interest due to the combined rate/volume variance has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of change in each. Analysis of Volume and Rate Changes (in thousands) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase (Decrease) from Previous Due to Due to Year Volume Rate -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Income Taxable investment securities $ (109) $ 1,420 $ (1,529) Tax-exempt investment securities (TE) (129) (99) (30) Federal funds sold and interest earning deposits 11 80 (69) Loans (TE) (1,005) 2,681 (3,686) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest income (TE) $(1,232) $ 4,082 $ (5,314) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Expense Interest bearing demand and savings deposits $ (91) $ 439 $ (530) Time deposits (580) 562 (1,142) Federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and notes payable 14 229 (215) FHLB advances and other borrowings 19 87 (68) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest expense $ (638) $ 1,317 $ (1,955) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Interest Income (TE) $ (594) $ 2,765 $ (3,359) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $594,000, or 5.7%, lower for the first three months of 2004 compared to 2003. Total tax-equivalent interest income was $1.232 million, or 8.3%, lower in 2004 compared to 2003, and interest expense decreased $638,000, or 14.1%. The decrease in both tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense was mainly due to lower rates, offset somewhat by an increase in average balances. The decrease in total tax-equivalent interest income was primarily due to decreases in interest income from loans and both taxable and tax-exempt investment securities. The decreases in interest income from loans and taxable investment securities were due to lower rates offset somewhat by higher average balances. The decrease in interest income from tax-exempt investment securities was due to lower rates and lower average balances. The decrease in total interest expense was due to decreases in interest expense from interest bearing demand and savings deposits and time deposits, offset slightly by increases in federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and notes payable and FHLB advances and other borrowings. Interest expense on both interest bearing demand and savings deposits and time deposits decreased due to lower rates, offset somewhat by an increase in average balances. Interest expense on both federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and notes payable and FHLB advances and other borrowings increased due to higher average balances, offset somewhat by lower rates. The provision for loan losses recorded was $330,000 during the first three months of both 2004 and 2003. The provision during both periods was based on management's analysis of the loan portfolio, as discussed in the provision for loan losses section above. Noninterest Income and Expense for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03/31/2004 03/31/2003 $ change % change -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Noninterest income: Remittance processing 1 $ 1,892 $ 1,766 $ 126 7.13% Trust and brokerage fees 2 1,662 1,462 200 13.68% Service charges on deposit accounts 579 580 (1) (0.17%) Securities transactions, net 8 (43) 51 118.60% Gain on sales of mortgage loans, net 3 203 544 (341) (62.68%) Other 4 803 527 276 52.37% ---------------------------------------------- Total non-interest income $ 5,147 $ 4,836 $ 311 6.43% ============================================== Noninterest Expense: Salaries and employee benefits $ 4,708 $ 4,649 $ 59 1.27% Occupancy 645 623 22 3.53% Equipment 633 649 (16) (2.47%) Data processing 532 529 3 0.57% Office supplies 305 303 2 0.66% Service charges from correspondent banks 225 229 (4) (1.75%) Other 1,149 1,082 67 6.19% ---------------------------------------------- Total non-interest expense $ 8,197 $ 8,064 $ 133 1.65% ============================================== 1 In August 2003, a new product, Internet Agent, was introduced for one new customer and, during the fourth quarter of 2003, three existing customers switched from mechanical processing to this product. Internet Agent income accounted for $401,000 of total remittance processing income in the first quarter of 2004. This increase was offset somewhat by decreases in mechanical collection, lockbox processing and electronic payment income. Emphasis has continued to be placed on new sales of, and conversion of existing customers to, Internet Agent processing, as it is a better product and more profitable compared to mechanical, lockbox and electronic processing. 2 The increase in trust and brokerage fees was mainly due to an increase in assets under management of approximately $166 million at March 31, 2004 compared to March 31, 2003 as a result of booking new assets and market appreciation. 3 The decrease in gains on sales of mortgage loans reflected a $33.225 million, or 66.4%, decrease in funded mortgage loans held-for sale, from $50.059 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $16.834 million in the first quarter of 2004. The volume of funded mortgage loans, which peaked in the third quarter of 2003, has decreased in both of the last two quarters, mainly due to a decline in demand for refinancing. 4 The increase in other non-interest income was due to a gain of $291,000 on the sale of two parking lots. Income tax expense decreased $14,000, or 0.6%, during the first three months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The effective tax rate increased to 35.6% during the first quarter of 2004 from 33.8% during the first quarter of 2003.

As issued, the Executive Order provides that the DFPR would replace the Office of Banks and Real Estate, the Department of Financial Institutions, the Department of Insurance and the Department of Professional Regulation. The DFPR would be established on July 1, 2004, unless the Executive Order is challenged. At this time, it is not possible to predict the impact that the creation of the DFPR would have on the Company and its subsidiaries.
