First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust

Mattoon, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 1: Description of Plan

The following description of the First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Document and Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions, which are available from the plan administrator.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. (Company) covering all full-time employees who have at least one-half year of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

The Plan permits eligible employees through a salary deferral election to have the Company make annual contributions of up to 100% of eligible compensation. Employee rollover contributions are also permitted. The Company makes matching contributions calculated as a percentage of the before tax contribution made on behalf of each contributing participant. The Company determines this percentage each year. For 2006 and 2005, matching contributions were 50% of employees’ salary deferral amounts up to 4% of employees’ eligible compensation. The Company may also, at its sole discretion, contribute to the Plan an amount to be determined from year to year as a profit sharing contribution. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the profit sharing contribution was 4% of eligible compensation. Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

Participant Investment Account Options

Investment account options available include various funds. Each participant has the option of directing his contributions into any of the separate investment accounts and may change the allocation daily. The annual profit sharing contribution is maintained in a non-participant directed investment until this contribution is allocated by the Plan to the eligible participant accounts.

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s contribution and plan earnings. The benefits to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2006 and 2005

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions and the Company’s matching contributions plus earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company’s profit sharing contribution portion of their accounts plus earnings thereon is based on years of vesting service, defined as a minimum of 500 hours of service. A participant is fully vested after 6 years of vesting service. The nonvested balance is forfeited upon payment of benefits. Forfeitures are allocated among active participants based upon eligible compensation.

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of service, an employee may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of his account or installments.

Participant Loans

The Plan document includes provisions authorizing loans from the Plan to active eligible participants. Loans are made to any eligible participant demonstrating a qualifying need. The minimum amount of a loan shall be $1,000. The maximum amount of a participant’s loans is determined by the available loan balance restricted to the lesser of $50,000 or 40% of the participant’s vested account balance. All loans are covered by demand notes and are repayable over a period not to exceed five years, except for loans for the purchase of a principal residence, through payroll withholdings unless the participant is paying the loan in full. Interest on the loans is charged at prime rate at loan inception.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed an intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2006 and 2005

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and changes in net assets and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition

Quoted market prices are used to value mutual funds and common stock. Participant loans, certificates of deposit, and money market funds are value at cost, which approximates fair value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a settlement-date basis. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Plan Tax Status

The Plan operates under a nonstandardized adoption agreement in connection with a prototype retirement plan sponsored by First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust. This prototype plan document has been filed with the appropriate agency and a determination letter was obtained on August 7, 2001. The Plan has not obtained or requested a determination letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan and related trust are currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and that the Plan was qualified and the related trust tax exempt as of the financial statement date.

Payment of Benefits

Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses may be paid by the Company or the Plan, at the Company’s discretion.
