Quarterly Report


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is intended as a review of significant factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the periods indicated. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto presented herein. In addition to historical information, the following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed in this report.
Critical Accounting Policies and 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 assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, changes in these assumptions and estimates could significantly affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those critical accounting policies that are of particular significance to the Company are discussed in Item 7 of the Company's 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent Developments
On May 6, 2009, the Company announced that Roberto R. Herencia has been named president and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, replacing J. J. Fritz, who will become senior executive vice president of Midwest Banc Holdings. Mr. Herencia, who also was appointed to the board of directors of the Company, was formerly president and director of Banco Popular North America based in Chicago and executive vice president of Popular, Inc., the parent company. He will assume his new role at the Company on May 15, 2009. Herencia, 49, spent 17 years at Banco Popular. In addition to serving as executive vice president of Popular, Inc. since 1997, and president and director of Banco Popular North America since December 2001, he served as chief operating officer, senior credit officer and reported to Popular's CFO in charge of capital markets, M&A and rating agencies between 1991 and 2001. Prior to joining Popular, Mr. Herencia spent 10 years in a variety of senior positions at The First National Bank of Chicago, including serving as head of the emerging markets division and operations in Latin America. He was directly involved in the restructure, workout and debt for equity swaps of public and private sector credits in Latin America.
The Company also announced on May 6, 2009, that the board of directors made the decision to suspend the dividend on the $43.1 million of Series A noncumulative redeemable convertible perpetual preferred stock; defer the dividend on the $84.8 million of Series T preferred stock; and take steps to defer interest payments on $60.8 million of its junior subordinated debentures as permitted by the terms of such debentures.
In response to the financial crises affecting the overall banking system and financial markets, on October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, EESA, was enacted. Under the EESA, the United States Treasury Department, the U.S. Treasury, has the authority to, among other things, purchase mortgages, mortgage backed securities and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions for the purpose of stabilizing and providing liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.

On October 3, 2008 the Troubled Asset Relief Program, TARP, became effective. The TARP gave the U.S. Treasury authority to deploy up to $700 billion into the financial system with an objective of improving liquidity in capital markets. On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced plans to direct $250 billion of this authority into preferred stock investments in financial institutions. The general terms of this preferred stock program are as follows for a participant: pay 5% dividends on the U.S. Treasury's preferred stock for the first five years and 9% dividends thereafter; cannot increase common stock dividends for three years while Treasury is an investor without their permission; the U.S. Treasury receives warrants entitling it to buy a participant's common stock equal to 15% of the U.S. Treasury's total initial investment in the participant; and the participating company's executives must agree to certain compensation restrictions, and restrictions on the amount of executive compensation which is tax deductible and other detailed terms and conditions. The terms of this preferred stock program could reduce investment returns to participating companies' stockholders by restricting dividends to common stockholders, diluting existing stockholders' interests, and restricting capital management practices. The TARP capital purchase program, CPP, is a voluntary program designed to help healthy institutions build capital to support the U.S. economy by increasing the flow of financing to U.S. businesses and consumers.
Although the Company exceeds all applicable regulatory capital requirements, it submitted an application for participation in the CPP and, on December 5, 2008, it sold 84,784 shares of Series T preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $84.784 million and issued a warrant to the U.S. Treasury which will allow it to acquire 4,282,020 shares of its common stock for $2.97 per share. The Series T preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series T preferred stock may be redeemed by the Company after three years. Prior to the end of three years, the Series T preferred stock may be redeemed by the Company only with proceeds from the sale of qualifying equity securities. The senior preferred stock is non-voting, other than class voting rights on certain matters that could amend the rights of or adversely affect the stock.
If the Company completes one or more qualified equity offerings on or prior to December 31, 2009 that result in its receipt of aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $84.784 million, which is equal to 100% of the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series T preferred stock, the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrant then held by the selling securityholders will be reduced by 50% to 2,141,010 shares. The number of shares for which the warrant may be exercised and the exercise price applicable to the warrant will be proportionately adjusted in the event the Company pays stock dividends or makes distributions of its common stock, subdivide, combine or reclassify outstanding shares of its common stock.
The EESA included a provision for an increase in the amount of deposits insured by the FDIC to $250,000 until December 2009. On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced a new program, the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, that provides unlimited deposit insurance on funds in noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts not otherwise covered by the existing deposit insurance limit of $250,000. The Company has elected to participate in the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program and incur a 10 basis point surcharge as a cost of participation. The behavior of depositors in regard to the level of FDIC insurance could cause the Company's existing customers to reduce the amount of deposits held at the Company, or could cause new customers to open deposit accounts. The level and composition of the Company's deposit portfolio directly impacts its funding cost and net interest margin.
The EESA followed, and has been followed by, numerous actions by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Congress, U.S. Treasury, the FDIC, the SEC and others to address the current liquidity and credit crisis that has followed the sub-prime meltdown that commenced in 2007. These measures include homeowner relief that encourage loan restructuring and modification; the establishment of significant liquidity and credit facilities for financial institutions and investment banks; the lowering of the federal funds rate; emergency action against short selling practices; a temporary guaranty program for money market funds; the establishment of a commercial paper funding facility to provide back-stop liquidity to commercial paper

issuers; and coordinated international efforts to address illiquidity and other weaknesses in the banking sector.
On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, ARRA, more commonly known as the economic stimulus or economic recovery package. ARRA includes a wide variety of programs intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health and education needs. In addition, ARRA imposes new executive compensation and corporate governance limits on current and future participants in TARP, including the Company, which are in addition to those previously announced by U.S. Treasury. The new limits remain in place until the participant has redeemed the preferred stock sold to U.S. Treasury, which is now permitted under ARRA without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to U.S. Treasury's consultation with the recipient's appropriate federal regulator.
Among the provisions in the ARRA are restrictions affecting financial institutions that are participating in the CPP. These provisions are set forth in the form of amendments to the EESA. The amendments provide that during the period in which any TARP obligation is outstanding (other than those relating to warrants), TARP recipients are subject to standards for executive compensation and corporate governance to be set forth in regulations to be issued by the U.S. Treasury. Among these provisions included in ARRA are the following:
• a limitation on incentive compensation paid or accrued to the top five executive officers based on the amount of TARP funds that the Company received. Under the provision, incentive compensation paid to such individuals may not exceed one-third of the individual's annual compensation. It must be paid in restricted stock that does not fully vest during the period in which any obligation arising from financial assistance provided under TARP remains outstanding;

• an expansion of the prohibitions on certain golden parachute payments to cover any severance payment for a departure for any reason (subject to certain limited exceptions) made to the senior executives named in the 2009 proxy statement and the next five highest paid employees;

• a requirement that the chief executive officer and chief financial officer provide a written certification of compliance with certain executive compensation and corporate governance provisions in annual securities filings;

• a requirement that companies adopt a company-wide policy regarding excessive or luxury expenditures as they relate to entertainment, renovations to offices or facilities, and aviation and other transportation services; and

• a requirement that companies permit a separate non-binding shareholder vote to approve the compensation of senior executive officers.

The U.S. Treasury has not adopted rules to implement these provisions. Congress has held other hearings and proposed additional legislation relating to TARP. Many of the proposals relate to executive compensation as well as additional regulatory reporting requirements. It is possible that the enactment of additional legislation related to TARP could restrict or require changes to lending, corporate governance or executive compensation.
On February 27, 2009, the FDIC board agreed to impose an emergency special assessment of 20 basis points on all banks to restore the Deposit Insurance Fund to an acceptable level. The assessment, which would be payable on September 30, 2009, is in addition to a planned increase in premiums and a change in the way regular premiums are assessed, which the board also approved on that date. This emergency special assessment for the Company, if assessed in accordance with the February 27, 2009 directive, is projected to be $5.0 million based on March 31, 2009 data.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 Set forth below are some highlights of first quarter 2009 results compared to the first quarter of 2008.
• Basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.27 and $0.22 per share, respectively.

• Net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $5.3 million compared to $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2008. The first quarter of 2009 included a $13.0 million provision for loan losses. The first quarter of 2008 reflected a $17.6 million impairment charge on securities, a $7.1 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt and a $15.2 million gain on the sale of a branch property.

• Net interest income decreased 5.0% to $21.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $22.2 million in the first quarter of 2008, primarily as a result of the decline in interest income on loans caused by decreases in the prime interest rate in 2008.

• The net interest margin continues to be under pressure at 2.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 2.82% for the similar period of 2008, largely due to lower yields on earning assets caused by reductions in prime rate.

• The annualized return on average assets was was (0.59)% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

• The annualized return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was (7.12)% compared to (5.69)% for the similar period in 2008.

• The provision for loan losses increased by $7.6 million, to $13.0 million, in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $5.4 million for the comparable period in 2008, reflecting management's current updated assessments of impaired loans and concerns about the continued deterioration of economic conditions.

• Noninterest income was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.8 million over the comparable period in 2008. Excluding the impairment charge on securities and the gain on the sale of real estate, noninterest income was $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2008.

Set forth below are some highlights of first quarter 2009 results compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.
• Basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $0.27 compared to earnings per share of $0.11 for three months ended December 31, 2008.

• Net loss for the first quarter of 2009 was $5.3 million compared to net income of $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. Income tax benefits of $16.6 million related to securities losses recognized in the third quarter of 2008 were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to subsequent tax law changes. Without this adjustment, a net loss of $12.2 million would have resulted for the fourth quarter of 2008.

• Net interest income increased by $1.3 million to $21.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $19.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, primarily as a result of lower cost of funds.

• The net interest margin increased to 2.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 2.51% for the fourth quarter of 2008, mainly due to average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities falling more than the yields on earning assets.

• The annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was (0.59)% compared to 0.49% for the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding the income tax benefit of $16.6 million, the annualized return on average assets would have been (1.35)% for the fourth quarter of 2008.

• The annualized return on average equity for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was (7.12)% compared to 7.17% for the fourth quarter of 2008. Excluding the income tax benefit of $16.6 million, the annualized return on average equity would have been (19.72)% for the fourth quarter of 2008.

• The provision for loan losses was $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $20.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, reflecting management's current updated assessments of impaired loans and concerns about the continued deterioration of economic conditions.
