                    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, 2002,  and  schedules  included in Main Street  Trust,
Inc.'s Form 10-K filed on March 21, 2003.

In the opinion of  management,  the  consolidated  financial  statements of Main
Street Trust,  Inc. and its  subsidiaries,  as of September 30, 2003 and for the
three-month and nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 2003 and 2002,  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 and nine-month periods ended September
30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 2003.

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  2002  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
reclassified to conform with the 2003 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 "BHCA").  The Company was  incorporated  on August 12, 1999, and is
the parent  company of  BankIllinois,  The First  National  Bank of Decatur  and
FirsTech,  Inc. The Company's two banking  subsidiaries  are referred to as "the
Banks".

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 4.  Stock Option Plans

The  Company  has  four  stock-based  compensation  plans,  which  have  been in
existence for all periods  presented.  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.

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.

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.
Those  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 September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002:

                                                  September 30,     December 31,
                                                       2003             2002
                                                  ------------------------------
Financial instruments whose contract amounts
  represent credit risk:
  Commitments ...................................   $207,784          $201,181
  Standby  letters of credit ....................     11,181            11,563

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   receivables;   inventory;   property,   plant  and   equipment;   and
income-producing   commercial  properties.   Also  included  in  commitments  at
September  30, 2003 was $3.672  million to  purchase  other  equity  securities,
compared to $1.750 million at December 31, 2002.

Standby letters of credit are conditional  commitments  issued by the Company 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 Company 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  Company  would be  required  to fund the  commitment.  The  maximum
potential  amount of future  payments  the Company  could be required to make is
represented  by the  contractual  amount  shown  in the  summary  above.  If the
commitment  is funded,  the Company  would be entitled to seek recovery from the
customer.  At September  30, 2003 and  December  31, 2002,  no amounts have been
recorded as  liabilities  for the Company's  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 $24.745 million,  or 2.2%, to $1.147 billion at September
30, 2003  compared to $1.123  billion at December  31,  2002.  Increases  in all
categories  of  investment   securities,   other  assets  and  accrued  interest
receivable were partially offset by decreases in loans, cash and due from banks,
federal funds sold and interest bearing  deposits,  mortgage loans held for sale
and premises and equipment.

                                       11


Cash and due from banks decreased $11.774 million,  or 19.7%, to $47.970 million
at  September  30,  2003  compared  to $59.744  million at  December  31,  2002,
primarily  due to a  smaller  dollar  amount  of  deposit  items in  process  of
collection at September 30, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002.

Federal funds sold and interest  bearing deposits  decreased $4.196 million,  or
9.8%, to $38.806  million at September  30, 2003 compared to $43.002  million at
December 31, 2002.  Federal funds sold and interest bearing  deposits  fluctuate
with loan demand, deposit volume and investment opportunities.

Total  investments in debt and equity securities  increased $54.522 million,  or
17.2%, to $370.732 million at September 30, 2003 compared to $316.210 million at
December  31,  2002.  There  were  increases  in all  categories  of  investment
securities as investments  in securities  available-for-sale  increased  $21.657
million, or 9.0%, investments in securities  held-to-maturity  increased $32.427
million, or 47.3%, and non-marketable  equity securities increased $438,000,  or
6.2%, at September 30, 2003 compared to December 31, 2002. Investments fluctuate
with loan demand, deposit volume and other investment opportunities.

Loans, net of allowance for loan losses,  decreased $18.303 million, or 2.8%, to
$645.839  million at September  30, 2003 from  $664.142  million at December 31,
2002.  Decreases in installment  and consumer  loans,  and in real estate loans,
were partially  offset by an increase in commercial,  financial and agricultural
loans.  Installment and consumer loans decreased $17.637 million,  or 18.5%, due
to alternative funding sources available to consumers, such as special financing
offered by the auto  manufacturers'  captive  financing  companies.  Real estate
loans  decreased  $9.448  million,  or 2.7%.  The  decrease in real estate loans
included a decrease of $26.766  million in  residential  real  estate  caused by
long-term  fixed  rate  loans  being  refinanced  and  subsequently  sold on the
secondary  market,  offset  somewhat  by  an  increase  of  $17.318  million  in
commercial real estate.  Commercial,  financial and agricultural loans increased
$9.216  million,  or 3.9%.  The  increases  in both  commercial  real estate and
commercial,  financial  and  agricultural  loans were due to an increase in loan
demand in these areas.

Mortgage  loans held for sale  decreased  $1.085  million,  or 36.5%,  to $1.887
million at September 30, 2003  compared to $2.972  million at December 31, 2002.
This  decrease  was  reflective  of a decrease in demand at the end of September
2003 compared to December 2002.

Premises  and  equipment  decreased  $755,000,  or 4.1%,  to $17.594  million at
September  30, 2003 from  $18.349  million at December  31,  2002.  The decrease
included  depreciation expense of $1.826 million offset somewhat by purchases of
$1.071 million.

Other assets increased $6.202 million, or 56.4%, to $17.196 million at September
30, 2003 from $10.994  million at December 31,  2002.  The increase  included an
investment in a low-income housing property development and a lower deferred tax
asset due to the decrease in market value on securities available for sale.

Total  liabilities  increased  $49.926  million,  or 5.1%, to $1.038  billion at
September  30, 2003 from  $988.258  million at December 31,  2002.  Increases in
other  liabilities,  federal funds  purchased,  repurchase  agreements and notes
payable, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings were partially
offset by decreases in total deposits and accrued interest payable.

Total  deposits  decreased  $6.729  million,  or 0.8%,  to  $861.857  million at
September 30, 2003 from $868.586  million at December 31, 2002.  The decrease in
deposits  included  a decrease  of $12.156  million,  or 7.4%,  in  non-interest
bearing  deposits offset somewhat by an increase of $5.427 million,  or 0.8%, in
interest bearing deposits.

Federal funds  purchased,  repurchase  agreements  and notes  payable  increased
$22.059 million, or 27.4%, to $102.710 million at September 30, 2003 compared to
$80.651 million at December 31, 2002. Included in this change was an increase of
$22.321  million in  repurchase  agreements  offset by  decreases of $200,000 in
federal funds purchased and $62,000 in notes payable.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other  borrowings  increased $2.193 million,
or 7.9%, to $29.999 million at September 30, 2003 compared to $27.806 million at
December 31, 2002.  The increase was due to borrowing to finance the  investment
in a  low-income  housing  development  offset  partially  by  payments  on FHLB
advances.

Other liabilities  increased  $33.050 million,  or 368.7%, to $42.013 million at
September 30, 2003 compared to $8.963 million at December 31, 2002 primarily due
to the accrual of $32.385  million  related to the purchase of stock pursuant to
the tender offer.

     borrowers may have the right to call or prepay  obligations with or without
     call or  prepayment  penalties  and certain  securities  require  principal
     repayments prior to maturity.

Capital

Total  shareholders'  equity decreased $25.181 million from December 31, 2002 to
September 30, 2003. Treasury stock transactions were $30.694 million,  primarily
due to  completion  of the tender  offer,  offset  partially  by the exercise of
employee stock options.  Stock options  exercised prior to the completion of the
tender  offering were fulfilled  using existing  treasury  stock.  The change in
shareholders' equity is summarized as follows:

On  September  16,  2003,  the Board of  Directors  of the  Company  declared  a
quarterly  cash dividend of $0.20 per share of the Company's  common stock.  The
dividend of $1.896  million was paid on October 24, 2003 to holders of record on
October 14, 2003.  On August 11, 2003,  the Company  commenced a tender offer to
acquire up to  1,400,000  of its shares of common stock at a price of $30.00 per
share.  The tender  offer was  completed on  September  30, 2003 with  1,074,140
shares,  representing  10.2% of the total shares  outstanding,  repurchased at a
cost, including expenses, of $32.395 million.

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 September
30,  2003,  that the  Company  and its  subsidiary  banks  exceeded  all capital
adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

                                       15


As of September 30, 2003, the most recent  notifications from primary regulatory
agencies  categorized  all 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):

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

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
                               -----------------------------------------------------------------

At September 30, 2003, the Company was  liability-sensitive due to the levels of
savings and interest  bearing demand  deposits,  short-term  time deposits,  and
short-term  borrowings.  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  $380,000
in the 1-30 days  category  and $460,000 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 September 30, 2003, 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 which permit the Company to borrow
federal  funds on an unsecured  basis.  The Company has a $10 million  unsecured
line of credit with a correspondent bank.  Additionally,  the Company can borrow
approximately  $51.570  million  from the  Federal  Home  Loan Bank on a secured
basis.

                                       17


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 Company
analyzes  interest rate  sensitivity by performing  rate shocks of plus or minus
200 basis points in 100 basis point increments.

The following table shows  projected  results at September 30, 2003 and December
31,  2002 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
                                           -------------------------------------

September 30, 2003 ....................    10.9%     5.5%     (5.5%)     (10.9%)
December 31, 2002 .....................     7.6%     3.8%     (3.9%)      (7.8%)

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 nine months of
2003.  A  review  of  consolidated  statements  of cash  flows  included  in the
accompanying  financial  statements  shows  that  the  Company's  cash  and cash
equivalents  decreased  $15.970  million from December 31, 2002 to September 30,
2003. This decrease came from cash used in investing  activities offset somewhat
by cash provided by financing and operating activities.

                                       18


There were  differences  in the  sources  and uses of cash during the first nine
months of 2003  compared  to the  first  nine  months of 2002.  Cash was used in
investing  activities  during  2003  compared  to  cash  provided  by  investing
activities  during 2002.  During the first nine months of 2003, net cash used in
investing  activities  involving the Company's  investment portfolio was $58.433
million  compared  to cash  provided  during  the first  nine  months of 2002 of
$16.015 million.  During the first nine months of 2003, the Company's investment
portfolio  grew  versus  the  first  nine  months  of 2002  when  the  Company's
investment portfolio was reduced. The size of the Company's investment portfolio
varies  in  response  to  volume of loans  and  deposits  as well as  investment
opportunities.  Somewhat  offsetting  this difference was cash provided by loans
during the first nine  months of 2003 due to a decrease  in loans,  compared  to
cash used by loans during the same period of 2002 when loans increased slightly.
Somewhat offsetting this change was cash provided by financing activities during
the first nine months of 2003 compared to cash used during the first nine months
of 2002. This was mainly due to changes in federal funds  purchased,  repurchase
agreements  and  notes payable,  net MSTI stock transactions,  deposits and FHLB
advances and other borrowings. Cash was provided by an increase in federal funds
purchased,  repurchase agreements and notes payable during the first nine months
of 2003  compared to cash used  during the same period in 2002,  mainly due to a
change in volume of repurchase agreements. Cash was provided from net MSTI stock
transactions  during the first nine months of 2003  compared to cash used during
the same period of 2002 due to  completion of the tender offer during the second
quarter of 2002.  There was a larger  decrease in deposits during the first nine
months  of 2002  compared  to the same  period  of 2003.  The  decrease  in 2002
included  the  maturity  of a large  short-term  time  deposit.  Also,  cash was
provided by an increase in FHLB advances and other  borrowings  during the first
nine months of 2003 compared to cash used because of a decrease during the first
nine months of 2002. Less cash was provided by operating  activities  during the
first nine months of 2003  compared to the same period of 2002 due, in part,  to
an increase in other assets.

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,  residential  real estate 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 $9.693  million at
September  30, 2003  compared to $9.259  million at December  31,  2002,  as net
charge-offs were $556,000 and provisions  totaled $990,000 during the first nine
months of 2003.  The  allowance  for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans,
including  loans  held-for-sale,  was 1.47% at September  30, 2003,  compared to
1.37%  at  December  31,  2002.  Gross  loans,  including  loans  held-for-sale,
decreased 2.8% to $657.419  million at September 30, 2003 from $676.373  million
at December 31, 2002.

                                       19


The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming  loans was 383.1%
at September  30, 2003  compared to 416.9% at December  31, 2002.  Nonperforming
loans  increased  from $2.221  million at December 31, 2002 to $2.530 million at
September  30, 2003.  The $309,000  increase in  nonperforming  loans during the
first nine months of 2003 resulted from a $461,000 increase in loans past due 90
days or more,  offset  somewhat  by a $152,000  decrease  in  nonaccrual  loans.
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.

While the economy has shown recent  strength,  we are still  concerned about the
weakness in the labor market. Many economists believe that the sustainability of
the  current  economic  expansion  is  dependent  upon a  resurgence  in new job
creation.  Any  improvement in our levels of problem assets,  delinquencies  and
losses on loans is similarly  dependent upon a recovery in employment  levels to
materialize.  Due to increases in several leading economic indicators (including
the  stock  market,  temporary  worker  hiring  and  ISM  survey  data),  we are
cautiously optimistic that the employment picture will brighten.  However, it is
still too early to consider robust jobs growth a certainty.

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.

Results of Operations For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003

Net income for the first nine months of 2003 was $12.695 million, a $237,000, or
1.8%,  decrease from $12.932 million for the same period in 2002. Basic earnings
per share increased  $0.02, or 1.7%, to $1.21 per share in the first nine months
of 2003 from $1.19 per share in the same period in 2002.  Diluted  earnings  per
share  increased  $0.02, or 1.7%, to $1.20 per share in the first nine months of
2003 from  $1.18 per share in the first nine  months of 2002.  The  increase  in
basic and  diluted  earnings  per share was mainly due to a decrease in weighted
average shares  outstanding after the completion of the tender offer for 6.3% of
the  Company's  outstanding  common stock near the end of the second  quarter of
2002. This was offset somewhat by other treasury stock transactions.

Notes to Consolidated Average Balance Sheet and Interest Rate Table:

1    Investments in debt securities are included at carrying value.

2    Federal  funds sold and interest  bearing  deposits  include  approximately
     $47,000 and $49,000 in 2003 and 2002, 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  $1.368  million and $742,000 in 2003 and 2002,
     respectively, are included in total loan income.



                                       22


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% at September 30, 2003 and
2002. 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.

                                                     =============================


Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $1.896 million, or 5.9%, lower
for the first nine months of 2003  compared  to the same  period in 2002.  Total
tax-equivalent  interest  income was  $5.852  million,  or 11.9%,  lower in 2003
compared to 2002, and interest expense  decreased $3.956 million,  or 23.6%. The
decrease  in  tax-equivalent  interest  income  was due to lower  rates,  offset
slightly by an increase in average  balances.  The decrease in interest  expense
was due to lower rates.

The decrease in total  tax-equivalent  interest  income was due to a decrease in
interest  income  from  loans,  taxable  investment  securities  and  tax-exempt
investment  securities,  offset  slightly by an increase in interest income from
federal  funds sold and  interest  bearing  deposits.  The  decrease in interest
income  from  loans  was due to lower  rates  and lower  average  balances.  The
decrease in interest  income from taxable  investment  securities and tax-exempt
investment  securities was due to lower rates, offset somewhat by an increase in
average balances. The slight increase in interest income from federal funds sold
and interest bearing deposits was due to higher average balances offset somewhat
by lower interest rates.

The decrease in total interest  expense was due to decreases in interest expense
from all  categories  of  interest  bearing  liabilities.  Interest  expense  on
interest  bearing demand and savings deposits  decreased  primarily due to lower
rates,  offset  slightly by an increase in average volume.  Interest  expense on
time  deposits and FHLB  advances and other  borrowings  decreased  due to lower
rates and lower average  balances.  Interest expense on federal funds purchased,
repurchase  agreements  and notes payable  decreased due to lower rates,  offset
somewhat by an increase in average balances.

The provision for loan losses recorded was $990,000 during the first nine months
of both  2003  and  2002.  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.

                                       23


Total  non-interest  income increased $1.033 million,  or 7.3%, during the first
nine months of 2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002.  Included in this
increase  was an increase  of $1.441  million,  or 186.4%,  in gains on sales of
mortgage  loans  held-for-sale  during the first nine months of 2003 compared to
the same period in 2002. This increase reflected a $108.380 million,  or 135.7%,
increase in funded mortgage loans held-for-sale  during the first nine months of
2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002.  This increase was reflective of
lower  mortgage  interest rates during the first nine months of 2003 compared to
the same period in 2002. While mortgage rates remain at historically low levels,
this level of mortgage  sales gains may not continue  throughout the rest of the
year. Other non-interest income increased $363,000,  or 29.9%, in the first nine
months of 2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002.  During the first nine
months of 2002, other non-interest income included a write-down of approximately
$300,000 in the value of mortgage servicing rights as a result of the sharp rise
in prepayment speeds. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $144,000, or
8.2%,  during the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.
Somewhat  offsetting  these increases was a decrease in trust and brokerage fees
of  $395,000,  or 8.5%,  in the first nine months of 2003  compared to the first
nine months of 2002.  This  decrease was due, in part, to lower market values of
assets  upon  which  fees were  charged  during  the first  nine  months of 2003
compared  to the  same  period  in 2002.  Income  from  securities  transactions
decreased $277,000,  or 121.5%, in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the
same  period  in  2002.  This  decrease  included   recognition  of  loss  on  a
non-marketable  equity  security,  offset  somewhat by a gain on the sale of one
available-for-sale  government  agency security.  Remittance  processing  income
decreased  $243,000,  or 4.4%,  in the first nine months of 2003 compared to the
same  period in 2002.  This was due to a  reduction  of volume at the  Company's
remittance  processing  subsidiary,  FirsTech,  associated with a gradual volume
reduction  in  electronic  payments  processed  for a  large  telecommunications
company  since 2002 as a result of their  conversion  to an internal  processing
platform.  This was  offset  somewhat  by  additional  revenue  produced  by the
conversion of new clients to FirsTech's  agent payment  processing  platform and
the renegotiation of some existing contracts.

Total non-interest  expense decreased  $814,000,  or 3.2%, during the first nine
months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002. Of this  decrease,  salaries
and employee benefits decreased $514,000,  or 3.6%, during the first nine months
of 2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002.  Contributing to salaries and
employee  benefits in the first nine months of 2002 was $529,000 in salaries and
benefits related to organizational restructuring that resulted in termination of
employment contracts. Equipment expense decreased $282,000, or 13.6%, during the
first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. Equipment expense
decreased largely due to efficiencies  gained from  restructuring and the merger
of  BankIllinois  and  First  Trust  Bank  of  Shelbyville  in June  2002.  Data
processing expense decreased $169,000, or 9.8%, in the first nine months of 2003
compared  to the first  nine  months of 2002.  Contributing  to data  processing
expense in the first  nine  months of 2002 were  conversion  to a new system and
software upgrade at the Company's remittance processing subsidiary FirsTech, and
costs to  merge  First  Trust  Bank of  Shelbyville  and  BankIllinois  computer
records. Service charges from correspondent banks decreased $11,000, or 1.6%, in
the first nine  months of 2003  compared  to the same  period in 2002.  Somewhat
offsetting  these  decreases  were  increases of $88,000,  or 5.0%, in occupancy
expense, $71,000, or 2.0%, in other non-interest expense and $3,000, or 0.3%, in
office  supplies  expense in the first nine months of 2003  compared to the same
period in 2002.

Income tax expense increased $222,000,  or 3.5%, during the first nine months of
2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002. The effective tax rate increased
to 34.0%  during the first nine months of 2003 from 32.8%  during the first nine
months of 2002.

Results of Operations For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2003

Net income for the third  quarter of 2003 was $4.265  million,  a  $214,000,  or
4.8%,  decrease from $4.479 million for the same period in 2002.  Basic earnings
per share  decreased  $0.02, or 4.7%, to $0.41 per share in the third quarter of
2003 compared to $0.43 per share in the third quarter of 2002.  Diluted earnings
per share  decreased  $0.02, or 4.8%, to $0.40 per share in the third quarter of
2003 compared to $0.42 per share in the third quarter of 2002.

The following table presents,  on a tax equivalent 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.

Net interest income on a tax equivalent  basis was $816,000,  or 7.6%, lower for
the  third  quarter  of 2003  compared  to the  third  quarter  of  2002.  Total
tax-equivalent  interest  income was  $2.207  million,  or 13.6%,  lower in 2003
compared to 2002, and interest expense  decreased $1.391 million,  or 25.8%. The
decrease in interest income and interest expense was due primarily to a decrease
in rates offset somewhat by an increase in average balances.

The decrease in total  interest  income was due to decreases in interest  income
from  loans  and  both  taxable  and  tax-exempt  investment  securities.  These
decreases  were offset  slightly by an increase in interest  income from federal
funds sold and interest bearing deposits.  The decreases in interest income from
loans and tax-exempt  investment  securities  were due to decreases in rates and
average balances during the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in
2002. The decrease in interest income from taxable investment securities was due
to a decrease in rates,  offset  somewhat  by an  increase  in average  balances
during the third  quarter of 2003  compared  to the third  quarter of 2002.  The
increase  in federal  funds sold and  interest  bearing  deposits  was due to an
increase in average balances, offset somewhat by a decrease in rates.

The decrease in total interest  expense was due to decreases in interest expense
on all categories of interest bearing liabilities, with the exception of federal
funds  purchased,  repurchase  agreements and notes  payable,  which recorded no
change in  interest  expense in the third  quarter of 2003  compared to the same
period in 2002.  The decreases in interest  expense on time deposits and on FHLB
advances  and  other  borrowings  were due to  decreases  in rates  and  average
balances  during the third  quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.
The  decrease in  interest  expense  from  interest  bearing  demand and savings
deposits  was due to a decrease  in rates,  offset  somewhat  by an  increase in
average  balances during the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter
of 2002.

The  provision  for loan  losses  recorded  was  $330,000  during both the third
quarter  of 2003 and  2002.  The  provision  during  both  periods  was based on
management's  analysis of the loan portfolio,  as discussed in the provision and
allowance for loan losses section above.

                                       26


Total non-interest income increased $782,000, or 16.9%, during the third quarter
of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002.  Included in this increase was an
increase  of  $594,000,   or  157.1%,  in  gains  on  sales  of  mortgage  loans
held-for-sale  in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.
This  increase  reflected  a $38.307  million,  or  111.2%,  increase  in funded
mortgage loans  held-for-sale  in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same
period in 2002.  This increase was reflective of lower  mortgage  interest rates
during the third  quarter of 2003  compared  to the same  period in 2002.  While
mortgage rates remain at historically  low levels,  this level of mortgage sales
gains  may not  continue  throughout  the rest of the year.  Other  non-interest
income increased  $341,000,  or 172.2%, in the third quarter of 2003 compared to
the third  quarter of 2002.  In the third  quarter of 2002,  other  non-interest
income included a write down of approximately  $300,000 in the value of mortgage
servicing  rights as a result of the sharp rise in  prepayment  speeds.  Service
charges on deposit accounts increased $54,000,  or 8.8%, in the third quarter of
2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002.  Income from  remittance  processing
increased  $45,000,  or 2.5%,  in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same
quarter in 2002.  This was due to a combination of the conversion of new clients
to FirsTech's agent payment  processing  platform and the  renegotiation of some
existing contracts that produced  additional  revenue.  Securities  transactions
generated a net loss of $6,000  during the third  quarter of 2003  compared to a
net loss of $62,000  in the third  quarter of 2002.  Somewhat  offsetting  these
increases was a decrease in trust and brokerage fees of $308,000,  or 17.7%,  in
the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same quarter in 2002. This was due, in
part, to lower market  values of assets upon which fees were charged  during the
third quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.

Total non-interest expense increased $159,000, or 2.0%, during the third quarter
of  2003  compared  to  the  same  period  in  2002.  Of  this  increase,  other
non-interest expense increased $127,000,  or 10.7%, in the third quarter of 2003
compared  to  the  third  quarter  of  2002.  Of  this  increase,   $45,000  was
attributable  to  marketing  and  charitable  contributions.  Expenses  in  this
category vary based on the timing of advertising  and  promotions.  Salaries and
employee  benefits  increased  $94,000,  or 2.1%,  in the third  quarter of 2003
compared to the third quarter of 2002 primarily due to the increase in volume of
mortgage  loans held for sale during the third  quarter of 2003  compared to the
same period in 2002. Also  contributing to the overall  increase in non-interest
expense in the third  quarter of 2003  compared  to the same period in 2002 were
increases of $43,000,  or 7.2%, in occupancy expense,  $11,000,  or 2.2% in data
processing  expense,  $9,000 or 2.8%, in office supplies expense and $7,000,  or
3.1%, in service charges from  correspondent  banks.  Somewhat  offsetting these
increases  was a decrease of  equipment  expense of $132,000,  or 18.7%,  in the
third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002.  Equipment  expense
decreased largely due to efficiencies gained from restructuring,  and the merger
of BankIllinois and First Trust Bank of Shelbyville in June of 2002.

Income tax expense increased $43,000,  or 1.9%, during the third quarter of 2003
compared to the third quarter of 2002. The effective tax rate increased to 34.6%
during the third quarter of 2003 from 33.0% during the same period in 2002.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This document  contains,  and future oral and written  statements of the Company
and its management may contain,  forward-looking statements,  within the meaning
of such term in the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995,  with
respect to the financial condition,  results of operations,  plans,  objectives,
future  performance  and  business of the Company.  Forward-looking  statements,
which may be based upon beliefs,  expectations  and assumptions of the company's
management an don information  currently available to management,  are generally
identifiable  by the use of words  such as  "believe",  "expect",  "anticipate",
"plan",  "intend",  "estimate",  "may", "will", "would",  "could",  "should", or
other  similar  expressions.  Additionally,  all  statements  in this  document,
including forward-looking  statements,  speak only as of the date they are made,
and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new
information or future events.

The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or
strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse
effect  on  the  operations  and  future   prospects  of  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, the following:

o    The  strength of the United  States  economy in general and the strength of
     the local economies in which the Company  conducts its operations which may
     be less  favorable  than expected and may result in, among other things,  a
     deterioration in the credit quality and value of the Company's assets.

o    The economic impact of past and any future terrorist  attacks,  acts of war
     or threats  thereof,  and the  response  of the  United  States to any such
     threats and attacks.

o    The effects of, and changes in, federal,  state and local laws, regulations
     and policies  affecting  banking,  securities,  insurance  and monetary and
     financial matters.

                                       28


o    The effects of changes in interest rates  (including the effects of changes
     in the rate of prepayments of the Company's assets) and the policies of the
     Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

o    The ability of the Company to compete with other financial  institutions as
     effectively  as  the  Company   currently   intends  due  to  increases  in
     competitive pressures in the financial services sector.

o    The inability of the Company to obtain new customers and to retain existing
     customers.

o    The timely  development and acceptance of products and services,  including
     products and services offered through alternative delivery channels such as
     the Internet.

o    Technological  changes  implemented  by the company  and by other  parties,
     including  third  party  vendors,  which  may be  more  difficult  or  more
     expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen consequences to the
     Company and its customers.

o    The  ability of the  Company to develop and  maintain  secure and  reliable
     electronic systems.

o    The ability of the Company to retain key  executives  and employees and the
     difficulty  that the Company may experience in replacing key executives and
     employees in an effective manner.

o    Consumer  spending  and saving  habits  which may  change in a manner  that
     affects the Company's business adversely.

o    Business  combinations and the integration of acquired businesses which may
     be more difficult or expensive than expected.

o    The costs, effects and outcomes of existing or future litigation.

o    Changes in accounting  policies and  practices,  as may be adopted by state
     and federal  regulatory  agencies and the  Financial  Accounting  Standards
     Board.

o    The  ability  of the  Company  to  manage  the  risks  associated  with the
     foregoing as well as anticipated.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking
statements  and  undue  reliance  should  not  be  placed  on  such  statements.
Additional information concerning the Company and its business,  including other
factors  that  could  materially  affect the  Company's  financial  results,  is
included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the  participation of
the  Company's  management,  including  the Chief  Executive  Officer  and Chief
Financial  Officer,  of the  effectiveness  of the design and  operation  of the

promulgated  under the  Securities  and Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended) as of
