BUSINESS INTRODUCTION First Busey Corporation ("First Busey"), a Nevada Corporation, is a $1.3 billion financial holding company which was organized as a bank holding company in 1980. First Busey conducts a broad range of financial services through its banking and non-banking subsidiaries at 21 locations. First Busey is headquartered in Urbana, Illinois and its stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "BUSE." BANKING AND NON-BANKING SUBSIDIARIES First Busey currently has two wholly owned banking subsidiaries located in three states (the "Banks"). Busey Bank, a state-chartered bank organized in 1868, is a full service commercial bank offering a wide variety of services to individual, business, institutional and governmental customers, including retail products and services. Busey Bank has 18 locations in Illinois and one in Indianapolis, Indiana. First Busey acquired Eagle BancGroup, Inc., parent of First Federal Savings & Loan Association ("First Federal"), in October, 1999. First Federal, located in Bloomington, Illinois, was established in 1919 as a federally chartered capital stock savings association. In June, 2000, First Federal changed its name to Busey Bank fsb. At the same time, four of Busey Bank's branches, located in LeRoy and Bloomington, Illinois, were transferred into Busey Bank fsb. In October, 2000, Busey Bank fsb opened an additional branch in Fort Myers, Florida. In November, 2001, Busey Bank fsb transferred its charter to Florida, and changed its name to Busey Bank Florida. Simultaneously, the Illinois assets of Busey Bank fsb were merged into Busey Bank. Busey Bank Florida, a federally chartered savings association, is a full service bank offering commercial and retail banking services. Busey Bank Florida has one location in Fort Myers, Florida. The Banks offer a full range of banking services, including commercial, financial, agricultural and real estate loans, and retail banking services, including accepting customary types of demand and savings deposits, making individual, consumer, installment, first mortgage and second mortgage loans, offering money transfers, safe deposit services, IRA, Keogh and other fiduciary services, automated banking and automated fund transfers. Busey Investment Group, Inc., located in Champaign, Illinois and formed in February, 1999, is the parent company of: (1) First Busey Trust & Investment Co., organized in January, 1987, which is exclusively dedicated to providing a full range of trust and investment management services, including farm management, estate and financial planning, tax preparation, custody services and philanthropic advisory services; (2) First Busey Securities, Inc., organized in April, 1991, which is a full service broker/dealer and provides individual investment advice; and (3) Busey Insurance Services, Inc., organized in October, 1997, which offers a variety of insurance products. First Busey Resources, Inc., located in Urbana, Illinois, owns and manages Busey Plaza, a professional office building that is fully leased to unaffiliated tenants. First Busey Capital Trust I ("Capital Trust I"), a statutory business trust organized under the Delaware Business Trust Act, was formed in June, 2001. First Busey owns all of the Common Securities of Capital Trust I. First Busey and Capital Trust I jointly filed a registration statement reflecting the registration of $22 million of 9.00% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities issued by Capital Trust I and guaranteed by First Busey. The entire $22 million issue, as well as a $3 million over-allotment, were sold in June, 2001. 4
COMPETITION The Banks compete actively with national and state banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions for deposits and loans primarily in central and east-central Illinois, southwest Florida, and central Indiana. In addition, First Busey and its non-bank subsidiaries compete with other financial institutions, including asset management and trust companies, security broker/dealers, personal loan companies, insurance companies, finance companies, leasing companies, mortgage companies and certain governmental agencies, all of which actively engage in marketing various types of loans, deposit accounts and other products and services. Based on information obtained from FDIC/OTS Summary of Deposits dated June, 2001, First Busey ranked first in total deposits in the combined markets of Champaign, McLean and Ford Counties. Customers for banking services are generally influenced by convenience, quality of service, personal contacts, price of services and availability of products. Although the market share of First Busey varies in different markets, First Busey believes that its affiliates effectively compete with other banks, thrifts and financial institutions in their relevant market areas. SUPERVISION, REGULATION AND OTHER FACTORS GENERAL First Busey is a financial holding company subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act ("BHCA"), and by the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act ("IBHCA"). First Busey's state-chartered bank is subject to regulation and examination primarily by the State of Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate ("SIOBRE") and, secondarily, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). First Busey's federally chartered capital stock savings association is subject to regulation and examination primarily by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") and, secondarily, by the FDIC. Numerous other federal and state laws, as well as regulations promulgated by the Federal Reserve, SIOBRE, FDIC and OTS govern almost all aspects of the operations of the Banks. Various federal and state bodies regulate and supervise First Busey's non-banking subsidiaries including its brokerage, investment advisory and insurance agency operations. These include, but are not limited to, SIOBRE, Federal Reserve, Securities and Exchange Commission, National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., Illinois Department of Insurance, federal and state banking regulators and various state regulators of insurance and brokerage activities. RECENT LEGISLATION On November 12, 1999, former President Clinton signed into law legislation that allows bank holding companies to engage in a wider range of non-banking activities, including greater authority to engage in securities and insurance activities. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "Act"), a bank holding company that elects to become a financial holding company may engage in any activity that the Federal Reserve, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines by regulation or order is: (1) financial in nature; (2) incidental to any such financial activity; or (3) complementary to any such financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety or soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. This Act makes significant changes in U.S. banking law, principally by repealing certain restrictive provisions of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. The Act specifies certain activities that are deemed to be financial in nature, including lending, exchanging, transferring, investing for others, or safeguarding money or securities; underwriting and selling insurance; providing financial, investment, or economic advisory services; underwriting, dealing in or making a market in, securities; and any activity currently permitted for bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve under Section 4(c)(8) of the BHCA. The Act does not authorize banks or their affiliates to engage in commercial activities that are not financial in nature. A bank holding company may elect to be treated as a financial holding company only if all depository institution subsidiaries of the holding company are well-capitalized, well-managed and have at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. First Busey became a financial holding company in May, 2000. 5
In addition to the Act, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals that would have an impact on bank/financial holding companies and their bank and non-bank subsidiaries. It is impossible to predict whether or in what form these proposals may be adopted in the future and if adopted, what their effect will be on First Busey. DIVIDENDS The Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement on the payment of cash dividends by financial holding companies. In the policy statement, the Federal Reserve expressed its view that a bank holding company experiencing weak earnings should not pay cash dividends in excess of its net income or which could only be funded in ways that would weaken its financial health, such as by borrowing. First Busey is also subject to certain contractual and regulatory capital restrictions that limit the amount of cash dividends that First Busey may pay. The Federal Reserve also may impose limitations on the payment of dividends as a condition to its approval of certain applications, including applications for approval of mergers and acquisitions. The primary sources of funds for First Busey's payment of dividends to its shareholders are dividends and fees to First Busey from its banking and nonbanking affiliates. Various federal and state statutory provisions and regulations limit the amount of dividends that the subsidiary banks of First Busey may pay. Under provisions of the Illinois Banking Act ("IBA"), dividends may not be declared by banking subsidiaries except out of the bank's net profit (as defined), and unless the bank has transferred to surplus at least one-tenth of its net profits since the date of the declaration of the last preceding dividend, until the amount of its surplus is at least equal to its capital. Federal and state banking regulations applicable to First Busey and its banking subsidiaries require minimum levels of capital, which limit the amounts available for payment of dividends. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS First Busey is required to comply with the capital adequacy standards established by the Federal Reserve, and its banking subsidiaries must comply with similar capital adequacy standards established by the OTS, FDIC, and SIOBRE, as applicable. There are two basic measures of capital adequacy for financial holding companies and their banking subsidiaries that have been promulgated by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC: a risk-based measure and a leverage measure. All applicable capital standards must be satisfied for a bank holding company or a bank to be considered in compliance. Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement remedies, including issuance of a capital directive, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, a prohibition on the taking of brokered deposits, and certain other restrictions on its business. As described below, substantial additional restrictions can be imposed upon FDIC insured depository institutions that fail to meet applicable capital requirements. See "Prompt Corrective Action." PROMPT CORRECTIVE ACTION The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") establishes a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. Under this system the federal banking regulators are required to rate supervised institutions on the basis of five capital categories (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized) and to take certain mandatory supervisory actions, and are authorized to take other discretionary actions, with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized categories, the severity of which will depend upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. Generally, subject to a narrow exception, FDICIA requires the banking regulator to appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized. The federal banking agencies have specified by regulation the relevant capital level for each category. Pursuant to FDICIA, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and the OTS have adopted regulations setting forth a five-tier scheme for measuring the capital adequacy of the financial institutions they supervise. Under the regulations, an institution would be placed in one of the following capital categories: (i) well 6
capitalized (an institution that has a Total Capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 6% and a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of at least 5%); (ii) adequately capitalized (an institution that has a Total Capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 4% and a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of a least 4%); (iii) undercapitalized (an institution that has a Total Capital ratio of under 8%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of under 4% or a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of under 4%); (iv) significantly undercapitalized (an institution that has a Total Capital ratio of under 6%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of under 3% or a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of under 3%); and (v) critically undercapitalized (an institution whose tangible equity is not greater than 2% of total tangible assets). The regulations permit the appropriate federal banking regulator to downgrade an institution to the next lower category if the regulator determines (i) after notice and opportunity for hearing or response, that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or (ii) that the institution has received (and not corrected) a less-than-satisfactory rating for any of the categories of asset quality, management, earnings or liquidity in its most recent examination. Supervisory actions by the appropriate federal banking regulator depend upon an institution's classification within the five categories. First Busey's management believes that First Busey and its significant bank subsidiaries have the requisite capital levels to qualify as well capitalized institutions under the FDICIA regulations. FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to restrictions on borrowing from the Federal Reserve System. In addition, undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit capital restoration plans. A depository institution's holding company must guarantee the capital plan, up to an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the depository institution's assets at the time it becomes undercapitalized or the amount of the capital deficiency when the institution fails to comply with the plan. Federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 SUMMARY The Corporation reported net income of $15,653,000 in 2001, up 11.4% from $14,053,000 in 2000, which had increased 12.0% from $12,548,000 in 1999. Diluted earnings per share in 2001 increased 11.7% to $1.15 from $1.03 in 2000, which was a 14.4% increase from $.90 in 1999. The main factors contributing to the increase in net income in 2001 were increases in net interest income, service charges on deposit accounts, and gains on the sale of pooled mortgage loans. Operating earnings, which exclude security gains and the related tax expense, were $14,878,000 or $1.09 per share for 2001; $13,608,000, or $1.00 per share for 2000; and $11,924,000, or $.86 per share for 1999. Security gains after the related tax expense were $775,000 or 5.0% of net income in 2001; $445,000 or 3.2% of net income in 2000; and $624,000 or 5.0% of net income in 1999. First Busey Corporation owns a position in a qualified equity security with substantial appreciated value. First Busey's Board authorized an orderly liquidation of this asset over a ten-year period. The Corporation's return on average assets was 1.19%, 1.12% and 1.22% for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively, and return on average equity was 15.80%, 16.56%, and 14.68% for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. On an operating earnings basis, return on average assets was 1.13%, 1.08%, and 1.16% for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively, and return on average equity was 15.02%, 16.03% and 13.95% for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased 1.8% in 2001 to $44,883,000 in 2000, which reflected a 14.0% increase from $38,668,000 in 1999. The decrease in interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve Bank throughout 2001 led to declines in the amount of income earned on interest-earning assets as well as the amount of expense recognized on interest-bearing liabilities. The falling rate environment had greater impact on the yields earned on interest-earning assets, particularly in the average balance of loans outstanding, more than offset the decline due to the falling rate environment and led to the increase in net interest income. Average interest-earning assets increased to $1,232,889,000 in 2001 from $1,179,245,000 and $963,641,000 in 2000 and 1999. The net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of interest-earning assets, was 3.64% in 2001, 3.74% in 2000, and 4.02% in 1999. The yield on interest-earning assets dropped from 8.03% in 2000 to 7.41% in 2001. Similarly, the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities fell from 4.77% in 2000 to 4.28% in 2001. Interest rates increase during 2000 and led to increased in both the yield earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as compared to 1999. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses, which is a current charge against income, represents an amount which management believes is sufficient to maintain an adequate allowance for known and probable losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the size and quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions, regulatory guidelines, and historical loan loss experience, credit quality of the portfolio, prevailing economic conditions, and regulatory guidelines. When a determination is made by management to charge off a loan balance, such write-off is charged against the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses decreased $495,000 to $2,020,000 in 2001 from $2,515,000 in 2000 which had decreased from $2,570,000 in 1999. The decrease in 2001 is due primarily to management's assessment of improved credit quality within the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs decreased to $600,000 in 2001 from $650,000 in 2000, and total non-performing loans decreased to $2,224,000 as of December 31, 2001, compared to $5,434,000 as of December 31, 2000. Net charge-offs were $369,000 in 1999, and non-performing loans totaled $2,117,000 as of December 31, 1999. 12
Sensitive assets include nonaccrual loans, loans on First Busey Corporation's watch loan report, and other loans identified as having more than reasonable potential for loss. The watch loan list is comprised of loans which have been restructured or involve customers in industries which have been adversely affected by market conditions. The majority of these loans are being repaid in conformance with their contracts. OTHER INCOME Other income increased 17.3% in 2001 to $21,460,000 from $18,288,000 in 2000, which reflected a 12.9% increase from $16,192,000 in 1999. The increases in 2001 and 2000 are due primarily to increases in service charges on deposit accounts, trust fee income, commissions and brokers' fees, and gains on the sale of loans. As a percentage of total income, other income was 19.3%, 16.4%, and 18.3% in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Gains on the sale of securities, as a component of other income, totaled $1,285,000 (6.0%) in 2001, $737,000 (4.0%) in 2000, and $1,035,000 (6.4%) in 1999. Other income also includes gains on sales of loans, as a component of other income, of $2,296,000 (10.7%), $1,112,000 (6.1%), and $895,000 (5.5%) in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Additional components of other income were fee income and trust fees. Service charges and other fee income increased 6.8% to $9,950,000 in 2001 from $9,317,000 in 2000, which was a 23.0% increase from $7,572,000 in 1999. The growth in fee income in 2001 and 2000 is due primarily to increases in service charges on deposit accounts. Despite the poor equity market in 2001, trust fees increased 5.6% in 2001. Trust revenues were $4,607,000 in 2001, $4,364,000 in 2000, and $4,013,000 in 1999. Increases in trust department revenues in each year were primarily due to increases in assets under care to $1,178,483,000 at December 31, 2001, from $1,066,723,000 at December 31, 2000, which is an increase from $971,554,000 from December 31, 1999. Remaining other income increased 20.5% to $3,322,000 in 2001 from $2,758,000 in 2000 which was a 3.0% increase from $2,677,000 in 1999. OTHER EXPENSES Other expenses increased 4.6% in 2001 to $38,974,000 from $37,249,000 in 2000, which reflected an increase from $33,063,000 in 1999. As a percentage of total income, other expenses were 35.0%, 33.4%, and 37.4% in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Employee related expenses, including salaries and wages and employee benefits, increased 10.4% in 2001 to $21,066,000, as compared to $19,080,000 in 2000, which was a 8.6% increase from $17,565,000 in 1999. As a percent of average assets, employee related expenses were 1.61%, 1.51%, and 1.70% in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Corporation had 498, 484, and 494 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Net occupancy expense of bank premises and furniture and equipment expenses increased 3.4% in 2001 to $6,957,000 as compared to $6,729,000 in 2000 and $6,010,000 in 1999. Remaining other expenses decreased $489,000 or 4.3% to $10,951,000 in 2001 from $11,440,000 in 2000, which was a 20.6% increase from $9,488,000 in 1999. Data processing expenses fell to $799,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, compared to $1,142,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, and $838,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. Data processing expenses were higher in 2000 due to one-time conversion and setup expenses. Amortization and impairment expenses also declined in 2001 as compared to 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Corporation recognized an impairment write-down of $325,000 on a customer list purchased by First Busey Securities, Inc. Revenues generated from this customer list were lower than originally projected. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Corporation recognized an impairment write-down of $600,000 on the core deposit intangible associated with the acquisition of First Federal. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense in 2001 was $8,363,000 as compared to $7,237,000 in 2000 and $5,402,000 in 1999. The provision for income taxes as a percent of income before income taxes was 34.8%, 34.0%, and 30.1%, for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. 13
BALANCE SHEET-DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND DECEMBER 31, 2000 Total assets on December 31, 2001 were $1,300,689,000, a decrease of 4.0% from $1,355,044,000 on December 31, 2000. Total loans, net of unearned interest, decreased 0.6% to $978,106,000 on December 31, 2001, as compared to $984,369,000 on December 31, 2000. Total deposits decreased 3.7% to $1,105,999,000 on December 31, 2001 as compared to $1,148,787,000 on December 31, 2000. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $4,016,000 or 3.0% during 2001. Interest-bearing deposits decreased $46,804,000 or 4.6% during 2001. Total stockholders' equity increased 14.6% to $105,790,000 on December 31, 2001, as compared to $92,325,000 on December 31, 2000. Growth in equity is due primarily to $8,646,000 earnings retained in the Corporation combined with net increases of $2,211,000 in unrealized gains on available for sale securities and a $3,219,000 decrease in Treasury stock. Treasury shares will be reissued in future years as participants exercise outstanding options under the Corporation's stock option plan which is discussed in Note 15 to the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. A. EARNING ASSETS The average interest-earning assets of the Corporation were 94.0%, 93.2%, and 93.4%, of average total assets for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. B. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Corporation has classified all investment securities as securities available for sale. These securities are held with the option of their disposal in the foreseeable future to meet investment objectives or for other operational needs. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. As of December 31, 2001, the fair value of these securities was $210,869,000 and the amortized cost was $197,398,000. There were $13,653,000 of gross unrealized gains and $182,000 of gross unrealized losses for a net unrealized gain of $13,471,000. The after-tax effect ($8,128,000) of this unrealized gain has been included in stockholders' equity. The increase in market value for the debt securities in this classification was a result of declining interest rates. The fair value increase in the equity securities was primarily due to a $587,000 increase in the value of 100,000 shares of USA Ed Inc. (SLM) common stock owned by the Corporation. The composition of securities available for sale is as follows: Years ended December 31, ----------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 ----------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands)

(2) On a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35% (the effective federal income tax rate as of December 31, 2000) The securities held to maturity portfolio consisted of debt securities which provided the Corporation with a relatively stable source of income. Additionally, the investment portfolio provides a balance to interest rate and credit risk in other categories of the balance sheet while providing a vehicle for the investment of available funds and supplying securities to pledge as required collateral for certain deposits. All remaining securities were transferred to the available for sale portfolio as of December 31, 1997. The Corporation also uses its investment portfolio to manage its tax position. Depending upon projected levels of taxable income for the Corporation, periodic changes are made in the mix of tax-exempt and taxable securities to achieve maximum yields on a tax-equivalent basis. U.S. government and agency securities as a percentage of total securities decreased to 68.0% at December 31, 2001 from 71.3% at December 31, 2000 while obligations of state and political subdivisions (tax-exempt obligations) as a percentage of total securities increased to 20.8% at December 31, 2001, from 18.9% at December 31, 2000. LOAN PORTFOLIO Loans, including loans held for sale, before allowance for loan losses, decreased 0.6% to $978,106,000 in 2001 from $984,369,000 in 2000. Non-farm non-residential real estate mortgage loans increased $22,702,000, or 9.8%, to $253,932,000 in 2001 from $231,230,000 in 2000. This increase reflects management's emphasis on commercial loans secured by mortgages. Also, 1 to 4 family residential real estate mortgage loans (not held for sale) decreased $49,464,000, or 12.4%, to $349,270,000 in 2001 from $398,734,000 in 2000. In 2001's low interest rate environment, the Corporation experienced significant refinance activity. The Corporation has no loans to customers engaged in oil and gas exploration or to foreign companies or governments. Commitments under standby letters of credit, unused lines of credit and other conditionally approved credit lines, totaled approximately $239,287,000 as of December 31, 2001. The loan portfolio includes a concentration of loans for commercial real estate amounting to approximately $308,197,000 and $293,184,000 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Generally, these loans are collateralized by assets of the borrowers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. Credit losses arising from lending transactions for commercial real estate entities are comparable with the Corporation's credit loss experience on its loan portfolio as a whole. 15 The composition of loans is as follows: Years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------ 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 ------------------------------------------------ (dollars in thousands)

Loans deemed uncollectible are charged against and reduce the allowance. Periodically, a provision for loan losses is charged to current expense. This provision acts to replenish the allowance for loan losses and to maintain the allowance at a level that management deems adequate. There is no precise method of predicting specific loan losses or amounts which ultimately may be charged off on segments of the loan portfolio. The determination that a loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Similarly, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses can be determined only on a judgmental basis, after full review, including (a) consideration of economic conditions and their effect on particular industries and specific borrowers; (b) a review of borrowers' financial data, together with industry data, the competitive situation, the borrowers' management capabilities and other factors; (c) a continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio, including monitoring by lending officers and staff credit personnel of all loans which are identified as being of less than acceptable quality; (d) an in-depth appraisal, on a monthly basis, of all loans judged to present a possibility of loss (if, as a result of such monthly appraisals, the loan is judged to be not fully collectible, the carrying value of the loan is reduced to that portion considered collectible); and (e) an evaluation of the underlying collateral for secured lending, including the use of independent appraisals of real estate properties securing loans. Periodic provisions for loan losses are determined by management based upon the size and the quality of the loan portfolio measured against prevailing economic conditions and historical loan loss experience and also based on specific exposures in the portfolio. Management has instituted a formal loan review system supported by an effective credit analysis and control process. The Corporation will maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb estimated uncollectible loans and, therefore, expects to make periodic additions to the allowance for loan losses. 16 The following table shows activity affecting the allowance for loan losses: Years ended December 31 ----------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 ----------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands)

The increase in the allowance allocated to real estate mortgages is due primarily to two factors. The first factor contributing to this increase is the growth in non-accrual loans on which higher risk factors have been applied. The second factor contributing to this increase is the growth in the total of higher risk non-farm nonresidental mortgages relative to the balance of total real estate mortgage balances. NON-PERFORMING LOANS It is management's policy to place commercial and mortgage loans on non-accrual status when interest or principal is 90 days or more past due. Such loans may continue on accrual status only if they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. 17 The following table sets forth information concerning non-performing loans at December 31 for each of the years indicated: Years ended December 31, --------------------------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 --------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands)

The accrual of interest income on impaired loans is discontinued when there is reasonable doubt as to the borrower's ability to meet contractual payments of interest or principal. Interest income on these loans is recognized to the extent interest payments are received and the principal is considered fully collectible. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, no interest was recognized from impaired loans. The gross interest income that would have been recorded in the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 if the non-accrual and restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original terms was $84,000, $41,000, and $31,000, respectively. The amount of interest collected on those loans that was included in interest income was $17,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001, $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, and $0 for the year ended December 31, 1999. POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS Potential problem loans are those loans which are not categorized as impaired, non-accrual, past due or restructured, but where current information indicates that the borrower may not be able to comply with present loan repayment terms. Management assesses the potential for loss on such loans as it would with other problem loans and has considered the effect of any potential loss in determining its provision for possible loan losses. Potential problem loans totaled $889,000 at December 31, 2001. There are no other loans identified which management believes represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. There are no other credits identified about which management is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrower(s) to comply with the loan repayment terms. OTHER INTEREST-BEARING ASSETS There are no other interest-bearing assets which are categorized as impaired. 18 DEPOSITS As indicated in the following table, average interest-bearing deposits as a percentage of average total deposits decreased to 89.3% for the year ended December 31, 2001, from 89.6% for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally represent overnight borrowing transactions. Other short-term borrowings consist of various demand notes and notes with maturities of less than one year.

LIQUIDITY Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet all present and future cash flow obligations arising in the daily operations of the business at a minimal cost. These financial obligations consist of needs for funds to meet extensions of credit, deposit withdrawals and debt servicing. The sources of short-term liquidity utilized by the Corporation consist of asset maturities, sales, deposits and capital funds. Additional liquidity is provided by bank lines of credit, repurchase agreements and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank. The Corporation does not deal in or use brokered deposits as a source of liquidity. Long-term liquidity needs will be satisfied primarily through retention of capital funds. An additional source of liquidity that can be managed for short-term and long-term needs is the Corporation's ability to securitize or package loans (primarily mortgage loans) for sale. The objective of liquidity management by the Corporation is to ensure that funds will be available to meet demand in a timely and efficient manner. Based upon the level of investment securities that reprice within 30 days and 90 days, management currently believes that adequate liquidity exists to meet all projected cash flow obligations. 20 The Corporation achieves a satisfactory degree of liquidity through actively managing both assets and liabilities. Asset management guides the proportion of liquid assets to total assets, while liability management monitors future funding requirements and prices liabilities accordingly. Average liquid assets are shown in the table below: LIQUID ASSETS Years Ended December 31, ---------------------------- Average Balances 2001 2000 1999 ---------------------------- (dollars in thousands)

The obligations of the trust are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by the Corporation. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity and are callable beginning June 18, 2006. Proceeds from these trust preferred securities were used to reduce the Corporation's short-term debt associated with the acquisition of Eagle BancGroup and First Federal Savings & Loan Association. RATE SENSITIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the volatility of the net interest margin as a consequence of changes in market rates. The rate-sensitivity chart shows the interval of time in which given volumes of rate-sensitive earning assets and rate-sensitive interest bearing liabilities would be responsive to changes in market interest rates based on their contractual maturities or terms for repricing. It is however, only a static, single-day depiction of the Corporation's rate sensitivity structure, which can be adjusted in response to changes in forecasted interest rates. The following table sets forth the static rate-sensitivity analysis of the Corporation as of December 31, 2001: Rate Sensitive Within ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1-30 Days 31-90 Days 91-180 Days 181 Days- Over 1 Yr Total 1 Yr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (dollars in thousands) Interest-bearing deposits $ 269 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 269 Federal funds sold 20,000 - - - - 20,000 Investment securities U.S. Treasuries and Agencies 11,024 10,019 18,222 23,613 80,612 143,490 States and political subdivisions 1,237 775 61 2,033 39,661 43,767 Other securities 9,656 - 303 1,032 12,621 23,612 Loans (net of unearned interest) 348,487 82,131 77,907 127,372 342,209 978,106 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total rate-sensitive assets $ 390,673 $ 92,925 $ 96,493 $ 154,050 $ 475,103 $1,209,244 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interest bearing transaction deposits $ 48,241 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 48,241 Savings deposits 94,868 - - - - 94,868 Money market deposits 374,186 - - - - 374,186 Time deposits 72,680 72,200 80,736 111,792 112,611 450,019 Short-term borrowings 3,150 1,900 2,600 2,650 1,467 11,767 Long-term debt 10,021 20,000 - - 17,000 47,021 Company obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities - - - - 25,000 25,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total rate-sensitive liabilities $ 603,146 $ 94,100 $ 83,336 $ 114,442 $ 156,078 $1,051,102 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rate-sensitive assets less rate- sensitive liabilities $ (212,473) $ (1,175) $ 13,157 $ 39,608 $ 319,025 $ 158,142 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cumulative Gap $ (212,473) $ (213,648) $ (200,491) $ (160,883) $ 158,142 ================================================================== Cumulative amounts as a percentage of total rate-sensitive assets -17.57% -17.67% 16.58% -13.30% 13.08% ================================================================== Cumulative Ratio 0.65 0.69 0.74 0.82 1.15 ================================================================== 21 The foregoing table shows a negative (liability sensitive) cumulative unadjusted gap of approximately $212 million in the 1-30 day repricing category. The gap report indicates that the cumulative gap is negative through one year. Beyond 90 days, the gap becomes asset sensitive as there are more rate sensitive assets than rate-sensitive liabilities repricing after 90 days. The composition of the gap structure at December 31, 2001 will benefit the Corporation more if interest rates increase during the next year by allowing the net interest margin to grow as asset rates would reprice more quickly than rates on rate-sensitive assets. CAPITAL RESOURCES Other than from the issuance of common stock, the Corporation's primary source of capital is net income retained by the Corporation. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Corporation earned $15,653,000 and paid dividends of $7,007,000 to stockholders, resulting in a retention of current earnings of $8,646,000. The Federal Reserve Board uses capital adequacy guidelines in its examination and regulation of bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks. Risk-based capital ratios are established by allocating assets and certain off-balance sheet commitments into four risk-weighted categories. These balances are then multiplied by the factor appropriate for that risk-weighted category. The guidelines require bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks to maintain a total capital to total risk-weighted asset ratio of not less than 8.00%, of which at least one half must be Tier 1 capital, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of not less than 4.00%. As of December 31, 2001, the Corporation had a total capital to total risk-weighted asset ratio of 13.63%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted asset ratio of 11.93% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.78%; the Corporation's bank subsidiary, Busey Bank, had ratios of 11.14%, 9.47%, and 7.62%, respectively; the Corporation's thrift subsidiary, Busey Bank Florida, had ratios of 41.50%, 40.25%, and 7.34%, respectively. As these ratios indicate, the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries exceed the regulatory capital guidelines. REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS It is management's belief that there are no current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which if implemented, would have a material effect on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources, or operations. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting for Business Combinations In June, 2001, Statement on Financial ------------------------------------ Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," was issued to address financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16 and Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 38. Statement No. 141 requires all business combinations in the scope of this statement to be accounted for using the purchase method. Statement No. 141 is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the acquisition date is July 1, 2001 or later. Accounting for Goodwill and Other Assets Statement of Financial Accounting ---------------------------------------- Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," was issued in June, 2001, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." It addresses how intangible assets should be accounted for at acquisition and in subsequent periods. Most significantly, goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Standard also provides specific guidance for testing goodwill for impairment and requires additional disclosures about goodwill and intangible assets. The Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Standard is required to be applied to the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statements at that date. Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that arise due to the initial application of this Standard are to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle. The Corporation will apply Statement No. 142 beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of 22
Statement No. 142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of $933,000 ($.07 per share) per year. During 2002 the Corporation will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, but has not yet determined what effect those tests will have on the earnings and financial position of the Corporation. Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations In June, 2001, Statement on ------------------------------------------- Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," was issued to address financial reporting and obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to all entities and to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operations of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. Statement No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Corporation does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets In August -------------------------------------------------------------- 2001, Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued to supersede Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." Statement No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application encouraged. The Corporation does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. EFFECTS OF INFLATION The effect of inflation on a financial institution differs significantly from the effect on an industrial company. While a financial institution's operating expenses, particularly salary and employee benefits, are affected by general inflation, the asset and liability structure of a financial institution consists largely of monetary items. Monetary items, such as cash, loans and deposits, are those assets and liabilities which are or will be converted into a fixed number of dollars regardless of changes in prices. As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than does general inflation. For additional information regarding interest rates and changes in net interest income see "Selected Statistical Information." C.

These forward looking statements include but are not limited to comments with respect to the objectives and strategies, financial condition, results of operations and business of First Busey. These forward looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and the risk that predictions and other forward looking statements will not be achieved. First Busey cautions you not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements as a number of important factors could cause actual future results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include the general state of the economy, both on a local and national level, the ability of First Busey to successfully complete acquisitions, the continued growth in the geographic area in which the banking subsidiaries operate, and the retention of individuals who currently are very important in the management structure of First Busey. 25 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk is the risk of change in asset values due to movements in underlying market rates and prices. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings and capital arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Corporation as other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Corporation's business activities. The Corporation's subsidiary banks, Busey Bank and Busey Bank fsb, have asset-liability committees which meet at least quarterly to review current market conditions and attempt to structure the banks' balance sheets to ensure stable net interest income despite potential changes in interest rates with all other variables constant. The asset-liability committees use gap analysis to identify mismatches in the dollar value of assets and liabilities subject to repricing within specific time periods. The Funds Management Policy established by the asset liability committees and approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors establishes guidelines for maintaining the ratio of cumulative rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities within prescribed ranges at certain intervals. A summary of the Corporation's gap analysis is summarized on page 21. The committees do not rely solely on gap analysis to manage interest-rate risk as interest rate changes do not impact all categories of assets and liabilities equally or simultaneously. The asset-liability committees supplement gap analysis with balance sheet and income simulation analysis to determine the potential impact on net interest income of changes in market interest rates. In these simulation models the balance sheet is projected out over a one-year period and net interest income is calculated under current market rates, and then assuming permanent instantaneous shifts in the yield curve of +/- 100 basis points, 175 basis points and + 200 basis points. Management measure such changes assuming immediate and sustained shifts in the Federal funds rate of 100 and 200 basis points, both upward and downward, and the corresponding shifts in other rate indices based on their historical changes relative to changes in the Federal funds rate. The model assumes asset and liability balances remain constant at December 31, 2001 balances. The model uses repricing frequency on all variable-rate assets and liabilities. The model also uses a historical decay rate on all fixed-rate core deposit balances. Prepayment speeds on loans have been adjusted up and down to incorporate expected prepayment in both a rising and declining rate environment. Utilizing this measurement concept the interest rate risk of the Corporation, expressed as a change in net interest income as a percentage of the net income calculated in the constant base model, due to changes in interest rates at December 31, 2001, was as follows: Basis Point Changes ----------------------------------- -175 -100 +100 +200 -----------------------------------
Percentage change in net interest income due to an immediate change in interest over a one-year period 2.10% 1.51% (0.27%) (0.63%) ITEM 8.

FORM S-8 UNDERTAKING For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be incorporated by reference into the registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-8 File No. 33-30095. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of the expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Urbana, Illinois on March 16, 2001.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. //McGladrey & Pullen, LLP// Champaign, Illinois February 8, 2002 33

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of business: - ----------------------- First Busey Corporation (the Corporation) is a financial holding company whose subsidiaries provide a full range of banking services, including security broker/dealer services and investment management and fiduciary services, to individual and corporate customers through its locations in Central Illinois, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Fort Myers, Florida. The Corporation and subsidiaries are subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing financial products and services. First Busey Corporation and its subsidiaries are also subject to the regulations of certain regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory agencies. The significant accounting and reporting policies for First Busey Corporation and its subsidiaries follow: Basis of consolidation - ---------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Busey Corporation and its subsidiaries: Busey Bank and its subsidiaries: Busey Travel, Inc., and BAT, Inc.; Busey Bank Florida; First Busey Resources, Inc.; Busey Investment Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries: First Busey Trust & Investment Company, Inc., First Busey Securities, Inc., and Busey Insurance Services, Inc.; and First Busey Capital Trust I, LP. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of First Busey Corporation have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to predominant practice within the banking industry. Use of estimates - ---------------- In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Corporation's management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates which are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the market value of investment securities, the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of real estate and other properties acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of amounts due from borrowers on loans. Trust assets - ------------ Assets held for customers in a fiduciary or agency capacity, other than trust cash on deposit at the Corporation's bank subsidiaries, are not assets of the Corporation and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Cash flows - ---------- For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks include cash on hand and amounts due from banks. Cash flows from federal funds purchased and sold are reported net, since their original maturities are less than three months. 42
FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Securities - ---------- Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the Corporation intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity, and marketable equity securities. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Corporation's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. The difference between fair value and amortized cost results in an unrealized gain or loss. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect, as a part of stockholders' equity. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Where applicable, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Securities purchased with the intent to earn a profit by trading or reselling them in a short period of time are classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in income. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, there were no securities classified in this category. Loans - ----- Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by fees and an allowance for loan losses. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield. The Corporation is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life. Interest is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. For impaired loans, accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Cash collections on impaired loans are credited to the loan receivable balance, and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. A loan is impaired when it is probable the Corporation will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment, if any, and any subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses. 43
FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Allowance for loan losses - ------------------------- The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operating expense. Loan losses are charged againsed the allowance when management believes the loans are uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is based upon continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and considers changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, loan concentrations, specific problem loans, current and anticipated economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay, historical loan loss experience and other factors, which, in management's opinion, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses, and may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment of collectibility based on information available to them at the time of their examination. Loans held for sale - ------------------- Loans held for sale consist of fixed rate mortgage loans conforming to established guidelines and held for sale to investors and the secondary mortgage market. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Loan servicing - -------------- The Corporation generally retains the right to service mortgage loans sold to others. The cost allocated to the mortgage servicing rights retained has been recognized as a separate asset and is being amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Mortgage servicing rights are periodically evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. The Corporation stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the origination date of the underlying loans. The amount of impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum exceeds its fair value. Premises and equipment - ---------------------- Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Other real estate owned - ----------------------- Other real estate owned (OREO) represents properties acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings in settlement of loans. OREO is held for sale and is recorded at the date of foreclosure at the fair value of the properties less estimated costs of disposal. Any write-down to fair value at the time of transfer to OREO is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Property is evaluated regularly to ensure the recorded amount is supported by its current fair value, and valuation allowances to reduce the carrying amount to fair value less estimated costs to dispose are recorded as necessary. 44
FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intangible assets - ----------------- Costs in excess of the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired consist primarily of goodwill, core deposit intangible and other identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over periods not to exceed 25 years. Core deposit and other identifiable intangible assets are amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated period benefited up to 10 years. Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization were approximately $10,504,000 and $12,255,000 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Total amortization expense was approximately $1,751,000, $2,288,000 and $1,166,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changed circumstances may affect the underlying basis of the net assets. Such reviews include an analysis of current results and take into consideration the discounted value of projected operating cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Corporation recognized an impairment write down of $600,000 on the core deposit intangible of Busey Bank, fsb. The Corporation recognized this write down due to a significant run off of the core deposit base. This write down is included in the amortization and impairment of intangible assets line item on the income statement. Income taxes - ------------ The Corporation and its subsidiaries file consolidated Federal and State income tax returns with each organization computing its taxes on a separate entity basis. The provision for income taxes is based on income as reported in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications have been made to the balances as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000 to be consistent with the classifications adopted as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001. Earnings per share - ------------------ Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are determined by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents assume exercise of stock options and use of proceeds to purchase treasury stock at the average market price for the period. 45

Statement No. 141 requires all business combinations in the scope of this statement to be accounted for using the purchase method. Statement No. 141 is effective for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the acquisition date is July 1, 2001 or later. Accounting for Goodwill and Other Assets Statement of Financial Accounting - ---------------------------------------- Standard No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," was issued in June 2001 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The standard addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." It addresses how intangible assets should be accounted for at acquisition and in subsequent periods. Most significantly, goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Standard also provides specific guidance for testing goodwill for impairment and requires additional disclosures about goodwill and intangible assets. The Standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Standard is required to be applied to the beginning of an entity's fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statements at that date. Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that arise due to the initial application of this Standard are to be reported as resulting from a change in accounting principle. The Corporation will apply Statement No. 142 beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of Statement No. 142 is expected to result in an increase in net income of $933,000 ($.07 per share) per year. During 2002, the Corporation will perform the first of the required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, but has not yet determined what effect those tests will have on the earnings and financial position of the Corporation. 46 FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations In June 2001, Statement on - ------------------------------------------- Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," was issued to address financial reporting and obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement applies to all entities and to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operations of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. Statement No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Corporation does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets In August 2001, - -------------------------------------------------------------- Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," was issued to supersede Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." Statement No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application encouraged. The Corporation does not believe the adoption of the Standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive income - -------------------- Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On October 29, 1999, the Corporation acquired all the outstanding common stock of Eagle BancGroup, Inc. and its subsidiary Busey Bank, fsb, an $184,000,000 thrift located in Bloomington, Illinois. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of operations of both entities since the acquisition date have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The purchase price of $27,075,000 was allocated based upon the fair value of the assets acquired. The excess of the total acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired of $8,903,000 is being amortized over periods up to twenty years using the straight-line method. 47
FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS The Corporation's banking and thrift subsidiaries are required to maintain certain cash reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, which may be offset by cash on hand. The required reserve balances as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 were approximately $8,464,000 and $6,103,000, respectively. In October 1997, the Corporation's bank subsidiary established a clearing balance requirement of $2,000,000 with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to use Federal Reserve Bank services. As of December 31, 2001 and 2000, the clearing balance requirement was $2,750,000. These deposited funds generate earnings credits at market rates which offset service charges resulting from the use of Federal Reserve Bank services. The clearing balance requirement is included in the required reserve balance referred to above and may be increased, or otherwise adjusted, on approval of the Federal Reserve Bank based on estimated service charges; however, such adjustments will be made no more frequently than once per month. The Corporation maintains its cash in deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Corporation has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Corporation believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. NOTE 4.

Investment securities with carrying values of $139,120,000 and $178,117,000 on December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were pledged as collateral on public deposits, to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. 49 FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5.

Generally these loans are collateralized by assets of the borrowers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. Credit losses arising from lending transactions for commercial real estate entities are comparable with the Corporation's credit loss experience on its loan portfolio as a whole. The Corporation's opinion as to the ultimate collectibility of loans is subject to estimates regarding future cash flows from operations and the value of property, real and personal, pledged as collateral. These estimates are reflected by changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers. 50 FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table presents data on impaired loans: 2001 2000 1999 ----------------------------- (Dollars in thousands)
