AMCORE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with
instructions for Form 10Q and Rule 1001 of Regulation SX. The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of
the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that in the opinion of management are
considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods shown. Certain prior year amounts may be reclassified to conform to the current year presentation including a reclassification of
certain servicing income from Mortgage Banking Income to Other Income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes, including the critical accounting estimates, should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements and related notes contained in the 2007 Annual Report of AMCORE Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(the Company) on Form 10-K (2007 Form 10-K).
Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the 2007 Form 10K. Share
data for all periods presented has been restated to reflect a $0.135 per share stock dividend issued in June 2008.
New Accounting Standards
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The standard applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. For some entities, the application of the standard may change how fair value
is measured. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. This standard was adopted in first quarter 2008 and did not have a
material affect on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
Split-Dollar Life Insurance
In September 2006, the
FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-4 Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The issue requires companies to
recognize a liability for future benefits on split dollar insurance arrangements if the benefit to the employee extends to postretirement periods. The issue is required to be applied to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with
earlier application permitted. This standard was adopted in first quarter 2008 and did not have a material affect on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The fair value option established by this standard permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Under SFAS No. 159, a business entity is
required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. The standard
was effective as of January 1, 2008. The Company did not adopt fair value for any new items.
Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through
Earnings
In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 109, which superseded SAB No. 105, which applied only to derivative loan commitments that are
accounted for at fair value through earnings. The new guidance states that, consistent with the guidance in SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings.
This standard was adopted in first quarter 2008 and did not have a material affect on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
5
Minority Interests
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. Among other things, SFAS No. 160 requires minority interests be recorded as a separate component of equity and that net income attributable to minority interests be
clearly identified on the Statement of Income. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Statement No. 160 is required to be applied
prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. Adoption of this standard in fiscal year 2009 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
Business Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, to improve financial reporting on business
combinations, including recognition and measurement of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply this Statement before that date.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities to provide enhanced disclosures and thereby
improve the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. Adoption of this standard at year-end is not expected to have a
material impact on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.

During second quarter 2008, the Company completely wrote-off its goodwill balance following a considerable and
protracted period when the Companys stock traded at a significant discount compared to its book value, as well as due to the decline in the operations of the Company.
During 2007, the Company sold a majority of its originated mortgage servicing rights (OMSRs) portfolio as a result of a strategic arrangement with a national mortgage services company to provide private-label loan
processing and servicing support entered into during the first quarter of 2007. The Company sold OMSRs relating to $1.5 billion of mortgage loans serviced for other investors, $1.4 billion of which occurred in first quarter, for a total sales price
of $17.5 million. The sales resulted in pre-tax gains of $2.6 million, of which $2.4 million occurred in the first quarter, and was included in other non-interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company periodically borrows from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), collateralized by mortgage-backed
securities and eligible one-to-four family and multi-family real estate loans. The average stated maturity of these borrowings at June 30, 2008 is 2.9 years, with a weighted average borrowing rate of 4.44%. Mortgage-related assets with a
carrying value of $500 million were held as collateral for FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2008.
9
During 2007, the Company entered into a $20 million senior debt facility agreement. The Company has drawn $17.5
million against this facility. Interest is charged based on one month LIBOR plus a spread that varies based on certain performance factors, the sum of which was 3.40% at June 30, 2008. The credit facility matures on July 31, 2010, but
may be prepaid at any time prior to that date without penalty.
During the first six months of 2007, the Company redeemed its $40 million of 9.35% coupon
AMCORE Capital Trust I preferred securities for a premium of $1.9 million and wrote off the remaining unamortized issuance costs of $386,000 which were included in other operating expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The redemption was
funded by $50 million of new trust preferred securities (Capital Trust II) and $2 million of common securities, which pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at an annual rate of 6.45%. After June 6, 2012, the securities are redeemable at
par until June 6, 2037 when redemption is mandatory. Prior redemption, at a premium, is permitted under certain circumstances such as changes in tax or regulatory capital rules. The proceeds of the capital securities were invested in junior
subordinated debentures that represent all of the assets of Capital Trust II. The Company fully and unconditionally guarantees the capital securities through the combined operation of the debentures and other related documents. The Company's
obligations under the guarantee are unsecured and subordinate to senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The $52 million of debentures the Company has bears interest at a rate of 6.45% with put features that mirror the capital security
call features. Of the $52 million, $50 million qualifies as Tier 1 Capital for consolidated regulatory capital purposes.
The Company has two
fixed/floating rate junior subordinate debentures of $35 million and $15 million for a total of $50 million. The average stated maturity of these debentures at June 30, 2008 is 13.4 years, with a weighted average interest rate of 6.93%. The
initial interest rate is fixed and the earliest call date is September 15, 2016. After the first call date, successive payments, if any, due thereafter bear a weighted average interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 1.66%. The debt
qualifies as Tier 2 Capital for regulatory capital purposes.
Other long-term borrowings include a capital lease with a net carrying value of $1.0 million
on a branch facility leased by the Company. The Company is amortizing the capitalized lease obligation and depreciating the facility over the remaining non-cancellable term of the original lease, which expires or renews in 2021.
The Company reclassifies long-term borrowings to short-term borrowings when the remaining maturity becomes less than one year. Scheduled reductions of long-term
borrowings are as follows:

NOTE 7 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivatives to manage (Hedge) its risk or exposure to changes in interest rates and in conjunction with its mortgage banking operations. The derivatives currently used include interest rate swaps,
mortgage loan commitments and forward contracts. Interest rate swaps are used by the Company to convert fixed-rate assets or liabilities to floating-rate assets or liabilities (fair value Hedges and derivatives not qualifying for Hedge accounting).

Pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as
modified by SFAS No. 138 and amended by SFAS No. 149, all derivatives are recognized at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, including derivatives that do not qualify for Hedge accounting, and are recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Income as they arise. If the derivative qualifies for Hedge accounting, depending on the nature of the Hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are either offset in the Income Statement or are recorded as a component of other
comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders Equity.
NOTE 8 CONTINGENCIES, GUARANTEES AND REGULATORY MATTERS
Contingencies:
Management believes that no litigation
is threatened or pending in which the Company faces potential loss or exposure which will materially affect the Companys consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Since the Companys subsidiaries act as
depositories of funds, trustee and escrow agents, they occasionally are named as defendants in lawsuits involving claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts. The Bank is also subject to counterclaims from defendants in connection with
collection actions brought by the Bank. This and other litigation is incidental to the Companys business.
During fourth quarter 2007, as a member of
the VISA, Inc. organization (VISA), the Company accrued a $653,000 liability for its proportionate share of various claims against VISA. This amount consisted of $217,000 of claims settled by VISA but not yet paid, a $68,000 estimate of claims
considered probable by VISA pursuant to SFAS No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies
and $368,000 representing the Companys estimate of certain indemnification obligations pursuant to FIN No. 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.
During first quarter 2008, the
Company received a partial redemption distribution in connection with the IPO of VISA for which a $1.0 million net security gain was recorded. The gain included a partial reversal of litigation and guaranty losses described above to the extent they
related to the Companys share of IPO proceeds retained in escrow by VISA to fund the losses. The remaining contingent liability, as of June 30, 2008, is $338,000.
Guarantees:
The Companys bank subsidiary (the Bank), as a provider of financial services,
routinely enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers, including a variety of letters of credit. Letters of credit are a conditional but generally irrevocable form of guarantee on the part of the Bank to make payments to a third party
obligee, upon the default of payment or performance by the Bank customer or upon consummation of the underlying transaction as intended. Letters of credit are typically issued for a period of one year to five years, but can be extended depending on
the Bank customers needs. As of June 30, 2008, the maximum remaining term for any outstanding letter of credit expires on March 31, 2013.
A fee is normally charged to compensate the Bank for the value of the letter of credit that is issued at the request of the Bank customer. The fees are deferred and recognized as income over the term of the guarantee. As of June 30,
2008, the carrying value of these deferrals was a deferred credit of $686,000. This amount included a $126,000 guarantee liability for letters of credit recorded in accordance with Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 45. The remaining $560,000
represented deferred fees charged for letters of credit exempted from the scope of FIN No. 45.
At June 30, 2008, the contractual amount of all
letters of credit, including those exempted from FIN No. 45, was $169.9 million. These represent the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company would be obligated to pay under the guarantees.
The issuance of a letter of credit is generally backed by collateral. The collateral can take various forms including, but not limited to, bank accounts, investments,
fixed assets, inventory, accounts receivable and real estate. At the time that the letters of credit are issued, the value of the collateral is usually in an amount that is considered sufficient to cover the contractual amount of the letter of
credit.
11
In addition to the guarantee liability and deferred fees described above, the Company has recorded a contingent liability
for estimated probable losses on unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit outstanding. This liability was $4.1 million as of June 30, 2008 and $958,000 as of December 31, 2007, which was recorded in other expense in the Consolidated
Statements of Income.
As noted above, as of June 30, 2008, pursuant to FIN No. 45, the Company has an accrued liability of $338,000,
representing the estimated fair value of its proportionate share of certain indemnification obligations against VISA.
Regulatory Matters:
On May 31, 2005, the Bank entered into a Formal Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of Currency (OCC), the Banks primary regulator,
to strengthen the Banks consumer compliance program. On August 10, 2006, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the OCC to strengthen its compliance monitoring policies, procedures, training and overall program relating to the Bank
Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) regulations. The commitments and requirements imposed by these two items were completed and, on April 14, 2008, the Bank was notified that the OCC had terminated the Formal Agreement and the Consent
Order.
On May 15, 2008, the Bank entered into a written agreement (the Agreement) with the OCC. The Agreement describes commitments made
by the Bank to address and strengthen banking practices relating to asset quality and the overall administration of the credit function at the Bank. The Bank has already begun to implement enhancements to its credit processes to address the matters
identified by the OCC and the Bank expects to comply with all the requirements specified in the Agreement. The Agreement results in the Banks ineligibility for certain actions and expedited approvals without the prior written consent and
approval of the OCC. These actions include, among other things, the appointment of directors and senior executives, making or agreeing to make certain payments to executives or directors, business combinations and branching.

As prescribed by SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic EPS is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the
period they were outstanding.
12
The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued and to include shares contingently issuable pursuant to employee incentive plans. Securities (e.g. options) that
do not have a current right to participate fully in earnings but that may do so in the future by virtue of their option rights are potentially dilutive shares. The dilutive shares are calculated based on the treasury stock method meaning that, for
the purposes of this calculation, all outstanding options are assumed to have been exercised during the period and the resulting proceeds used to repurchase Company stock at the average market price during the period. The assumed proceeds shall also
include the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized. In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutivethose that reduce earnings per share or increase loss per shareare
included. Exercise of options is not assumed if the result would be antidilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, options to purchase 2.4 million shares and 206,000 shares respectively, were outstanding but not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive.
NOTE 10 SEGMENT INFORMATION
AMCOREs internal reporting and planning process focuses on its four primary lines of business (Segment(s)): Commercial Banking, Retail Banking, Investment
Management and Trust, and Mortgage Banking. The financial information presented was derived from the Companys internal profitability reporting system that is used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Company.
This information is based on internal management accounting policies which have been developed to reflect the underlying economics of the Segments and, to the extent practicable, to portray each Segment as if it operated on a stand-alone basis.
Thus, each Segment, in addition to its direct revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, includes an appropriate allocation of shared support function expenses. The Segments also include funds transfer adjustments to appropriately reflect the cost
of funds on assets and funding credits on liabilities and equity. Apart from these adjustments, the accounting policies used are similar to those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Since there are no comprehensive standards for management accounting that are equivalent to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the information presented may not necessarily be comparable with similar information from other financial institutions. In addition, methodologies used to measure, assign and allocate
certain items may change from time-to-time to reflect, among other things, accounting estimate refinements, changes in risk profiles, changes in customers or product lines, and changes in management structure.
Total Segment results differ from consolidated results primarily due to inter-segment eliminations, certain corporate administration costs, and items not otherwise
allocated in the management accounting process and treasury and investment activities such as the offset to the funds transfer adjustments made to the Segments, interest income on the securities investment portfolio, gains and losses on the sale of
securities, COLI, CRA related fund income and derivative gains and losses. The affect of these items is aggregated to reconcile the amounts presented for the Segments to the consolidated results and is included in the Other column. A
goodwill write-off totaling $6.1 million is included in the other non-interest expense line of the segment financials. Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements discusses further details of the goodwill write-off.
The Commercial Banking Segment provides commercial banking services including lending, business checking and deposits, treasury management and other traditional as well
as electronic commerce commercial banking services to middle market and small business customers through the Banks full-service and limited branch office (LBO) locations. The Retail Banking Segment provides retail banking services including
direct and indirect lending, checking, savings, money market and certificate of deposit (CD) accounts, safe deposit rental, automated teller machines and other traditional and electronic commerce retail banking services to individual customers
through the Banks branch locations. The Investment Management and Trust segment provides its clients with wealth management services, which include trust services, investment management, estate administration and financial planning, employee
benefit plan administration and recordkeeping services. The Mortgage Banking segment provides a variety of mortgage lending products to meet customer needs. The majority of the loans it originates are sold to a third-party mortgage services company,
which provides private-label loan processing and servicing support for both loans sold and loans retained by the Bank.

NOTE 11 BENEFIT PLANS
Retirement Plans
The AMCORE Financial Security Plan (Security Plan) is a qualified defined contribution plan under Sections 401(a) and
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All eligible employees of the Company participate in the Security Plan, which provides a basic retirement contribution funded by the Company. In addition, employees have the opportunity to make contributions that
are eligible to receive matching Company contributions up to certain levels. The expense related to the Security Plan was $883,000 and $963,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and was $1.9 million and
$2.1 million for of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company also has a non-qualified profit sharing plan that provides cash payment based upon achievement of corporate performance goals, to all employees
who have met service requirements. The (benefit) expense related to the profit sharing plan was ($228,000) and $92,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and was ($7,000) and $381,000 for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The Company provides additional retirement benefits to certain senior officers through plans that
are non-qualified, non-contributory and unfunded. Under one such arrangement, a defined contribution plan, the additional retirement benefits replace what would have been provided under the Companys defined contribution qualified plan in the
absence of limits placed on qualified plan benefits by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The expense related to this arrangement was $22,000 and $41,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and was $43,000
and $82,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Another arrangement, which is an unfunded, non-qualified, defined
benefit plan, provides supplemental retirement benefits that are based upon three percent of final base salary, times the number of years of service. Benefits under this plan may not exceed 70% or be less than 45% of a participants final base
salary less offsets for employer retirement plan benefits attributable to employer contributions and 50% of a participants Social Security benefit. Since the plan is unfunded, there are no plan assets. The measurement date for obligations of
this plan is as of December 31.
The Company has discontinued a defined benefit plan that pays a lifetime annual retainer to certain retired
non-employee directors. However, the Company continues to make payments to those non-employee directors that became eligible prior to the discontinuation of the plan. The plan is non-qualified and unfunded, and since the plan is unfunded, there are
no plan assets. The measurement date for obligations of this plan is as of December 31.
The following tables summarize, in aggregate for the two
defined benefit retirement plans, the changes in obligations, net periodic benefit costs and other information for the three and six-month periods ended June 30. As of June 30, 2008, all participants under both plans are in payout.

During the first two quarters of 2008 and 2007, contributions of $278,000 and $387,000, respectively, were made to fund
benefit payments. The plans have no assets at June 30, 2008 or 2007. The plans liabilities, as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, were $3.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively,
Other Benefit Plans
The AMCORE Financial, Inc. Employee Health
Benefit Plan (Health Plan) provides group medical, pharmacy, dental and vision benefits to eligible participating employees of the Company and their dependents. Employees, retirees, and COBRA beneficiaries contribute specific premium amounts
determined annually by the Health Plans administrator based upon actuarial recommendations for coverage. Retirees and COBRA beneficiaries contribute 100% of their premiums. The Companys share of the employee premiums and other Health
Plan costs are expensed as incurred. Expense related to the Health Plan was $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and was $2.7 million and $3.0 million for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Life insurance benefits are provided to eligible active employees. Because retiree premiums are actuarially based and are paid 100% by the retiree, the Company has not recorded a postretirement
liability.
The Company provides a deferred compensation plan (entitled AMCORE Financial, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan) for certain key
employees and directors. This plan provides the opportunity to defer salary, bonuses and non-employee director fees. Participants may defer up to 90% of base compensation and up to 100% of bonus. The deferred compensation liability to participants
is recorded in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferrals and earnings grow tax deferred until withdrawn from the plan. The amount and method of payment are pre-defined by participants each year of deferral. Earnings
credited to individual accounts are recorded as compensation expense when earned. The total non-qualified deferred compensation plan liability totaled $11.9 million and $12.9 million as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Expense related
to the deferred compensation plan was $241,000 and $259,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and was $217,000 and $500,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
NOTE 12 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company
has several stock-based compensation plans. The Company provides an employee stock purchase plan and makes awards of stock options, restricted stock and performance share units (PSUs). The awards granted under those plans are accounted for using the
fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. The Companys expense related to stock-based compensation for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

At June 30, 2008, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $4.8 million, net of estimated
forfeitures, which will be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 2.0 years. SFAS No. 123R requires cash flows resulting from the tax benefits from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized (excess tax
benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 the Company did not have any excess tax benefit since there were no exercises and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Company had $693,000 of
excess tax benefits, which was classified as an operating cash outflow and financing cash inflow.

Employee Stock Award and Incentive Plans.
The 2005 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (SAIP) allows for awards
to key employees of stock options, restricted shares, performance shares units (PSUs) and other forms of stock-based awards.
Stock Options
.
Non-qualified stock options are issued at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares on the grant date and generally vest within three to four years and expire from seven to ten years from the date of grant. Options issued are
valued using the Black-Scholes model. The activity during 2008 and the total options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2008 pursuant to the SAIP and previous incentive plans are as follows:

June 30, 2008.
Performance Share Units.
The Company grants PSUs pursuant to the terms and conditions of various sub-plans provided for in the
SAIP. The sub-plans establish performance goals and performance periods that are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Companys Board of Directors. Each PSU represents the right to receive a share of the Companys common stock at
the end of the performance period, some of which may be issued as restricted shares. One sub-plan allows for PSUs to be converted to common shares and issued at the end of the three-year performance. Two additional sub-plans allow for PSUs to be
converted to restricted common shares after the performance period and vest over five years.
Compensation expense is calculated based upon the expected
number of PSUs earned during the performance period and is recorded over the service period. The fair value is calculated equal to market value on the date of grant less the present value of dividends that are not earned during the performance
period. Expense is adjusted for forfeitures as they occur. As of June 30, 2008, PSUs expected to be earned and the weighted average grant date fair value per PSU were as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards.
The Company has periodically granted restricted stock awards to certain key
employees. The shares are restricted as to transfer, but are not restricted as to dividend payment and voting rights. Transfer restrictions lapse at the end of two, three or nine years contingent upon continued employment. Restricted stock grants
are valued at market value on the date of grant and are expensed over the service period. As of June 30, 2008, non-vested shares totaled 17,367 with a weighted average fair value of $21.98 per share. During the first six months of 2008, 14,000
shares were granted, no restricted shares were forfeited and returned to treasury, and 4,816 restrictions were released. As of June 30, 2007, non-vested shares totaled
17
6,130 with a weighted average fair value of $22.84 per share. No awards were granted, 2,189 restricted shares were forfeited and returned to treasury, and
restrictions were released on 657 shares during the first six months of 2007.
Directors Stock Plans.
The Restricted Stock Plan for
Non-Employee Directors provides that eligible non-employee directors receive, in lieu of a cash retainer, shares of common stock of the Company. As of June 30, 2008, restricted shares totaled 14,868 with a weighted average fair value of $23.86
per share. A total of 9,499 restricted shares were issued, restrictions were released on 5,003 shares, and 510 shares were cancelled during the second quarter of 2008.
The 2001 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors provides that each current eligible non-employee director and each subsequently elected non-employee director receive options to purchase common stock of the
Company. Options granted have an exercise price equal to the market value on the date of grant and generally vest within one to three years and expire in seven to ten years from the date of grant. Stock options granted pursuant to this plan are
valued using a Black-Scholes model with assumptions as previously listed. The following table presents certain information with respect to stock options issued to non-employee directors pursuant to the 2001 Plan and previous stock option plans.

During the first six months of 2008, there were no options exercised, and therefore no cash or stock equivalent
received or tax benefit recognized for exercises. The Company may periodically repurchase shares in open market and private transactions in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18 to replenish treasury stock for issuances related to stock option
exercises and other employee benefit plans.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
. The AMCORE Stock Option Advantage Plan permits eligible employees to
purchase from the Company shares of its common stock at an exercise or purchase price at 85% of the lower of the closing price of the Companys common stock on the NASDAQ National Market on the first or last day of each offering period. Shares
issued pursuant to the ESPP are prohibited from sale by a participant for two years after the date of purchase. Dividends earned are credited to a participants account and used to purchase shares from the Companys treasury stock at the
same discounted price on the next purchase date. The 15% discount is recorded as compensation expense and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the two-year service period. As of June 30, 2008, $81,000 remains unrecognized related to
shares issued during 2008, 2007, and 2006.

In accordance with SFAS No. 114, loans with a carrying amount of $108.3 million were written down to their
fair value of $88.8 million as measured by underlying collateral through the allowance for loan losses (Allowance). The amount of the Allowance related to these loans was $19.5 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $5.0 million at
December 31, 2007, resulting in an impairment charge of $14.5 million for the first six months of 2008.
NOTE 14 INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The Company has no
uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2008 and is not aware of any significant changes that are reasonably possible within the next twelve months. It is the Companys policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax benefits in income taxes. The Internal Revenue Service and the State of Illinois recently completed audits of the years 2004 through 2006 and 2003 through 2005, respectively. All subsequent years remain open to examination.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
The following discussion highlights the significant factors affecting AMCORE Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries (AMCORE or the Company) consolidated financial condition as of June 30,
2008 compared to December 31, 2007, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same periods in 2007. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and selected financial data appearing elsewhere within this report.
FACTORS INFLUENCING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report on Form 10-Q contains, and periodic filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and written or oral statements made by the Companys officers and directors to the press, potential investors, securities analysts and others will contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby with respect to, among other things, the
financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of AMCORE. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements
are based upon beliefs and assumptions of AMCOREs management and on information currently available to such management. The use of the words believe, expect, anticipate, plan,
estimate, should, may, will, or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and AMCORE undertakes no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements in light of new information or future events.
Contemplated, projected, forecasted or estimated results in
such forward-looking statements involve certain inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of factors many of which are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict could cause actual results to differ materially from those
in its forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the following possibilities: (I) heightened competition, including specifically the intensification of price competition, the entry of new competitors and the formation of
new products by new or existing competitors; (II) adverse state, local and federal legislation and regulation or adverse findings or rulings made by local, state or federal regulators or agencies regarding AMCORE and its operations; (III) failure to
obtain new customers and retain existing customers; (IV) inability to carry out marketing and/or expansion plans; (V) ability to attract and retain key executives or personnel; (VI) changes in interest rates including the effect of prepayments;
(VII) general economic and business conditions which are less favorable than expected; (VIII) equity and fixed income market fluctuations; (IX) unanticipated changes in industry trends; (X) unanticipated changes in credit quality and risk
factors; (XI) success in gaining regulatory approvals when required; (XII) changes in Federal Reserve Board monetary policies; (XIII) unexpected outcomes on existing or new litigation in which AMCORE, its subsidiaries, officers, directors or
employees are named defendants; (XIV) technological changes; (XV) changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; (XVI) changes in assumptions or conditions affecting the application of critical accounting
estimates; (XVII) inability of third-party vendors to perform critical services for the Company or its customers; (XVIII) disruption of operations caused by the conversion and installation of data processing systems; (XIX) adverse economic or
business conditions affecting specific loan portfolio types in which the Company has a concentration, such as construction, land development and other land loans, and (XX) zoning restrictions or other limitations at the local level, which could
prevent limited branch offices from transitioning to full-service facilities.
KEY INITIATIVES, OTHER SIGNIFICANT ITEMS AND ACCOUNTING
CHANGES
Key Initiatives
Credit
quality
The Company continues to reinforce a credit quality culture of its bank subsidiary (the Bank) by enhancing the credit risk administration and measurement process. Actions already taken or underway include: implemented a
new risk grading system in 2007 to provide more detailed information as to the conditions underlying the portfolio; hired an experienced commercial lending leader in second quarter 2007; shifted the management of virtually all residential
development loan relationships to an experienced specialty unit; reorganized the commercial credit approval process; increased the allowance for loan losses; implemented straight-through-processing system for commercial lending; increased staffing
and resources in the Banks non-performing assets resolution specialty group, which pursues resolution of non-performing assets; hired a new chief
21
credit officer with strong leadership and portfolio management skills in second quarter 2008; and added senior staff to manage the credit administration,
loan review and appraisal functions in second quarter 2008. An independent review of the Banks commercial credit portfolio, as required by an agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC) (see Regulatory
Developments, below), is well underway. While not yet final, no material concerns have been identified.
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2008,
the Bank sold $77 million of primarily non-performing and under-performing loans to a third party. The transaction removed further exposure from these loans, added incremental liquidity to the Bank and was neutral to the Companys capital
position. The Bank continues to focus on commercial and industrial lending, which, coupled with the abovementioned loan sale, should improve the diversification of the Banks loan portfolio. Many of these actions are discussed elsewhere in this
report.
Cost efficiencies
The Company continues to review opportunities for efficiencies across the organization. The Company is targeting a
three percent reduction per year in pre-FDIC insurance operating expenses in 2008 and 2009. This review has already led to a staffing level that is nearly 8% below levels of one year ago. In addition, during the second quarter of 2008, the Company
identified four under-utilized high-cost facilities that could be consolidated with other nearby locations (the Facilities Consolidation). These were two office buildings, one small older branch in a historical market and one leased
Chicago suburban location with minimal retail activity that housed mainly commercial lenders. The efficiency focus covers all aspects of the business including final implementation of the Companys commercial loan straight-through-processing
platform.
Core growth
The Company is focused on measuring business unit performance and closely aligning profitability with incentive
compensation in order to drive strong core customer based growth. This enhancement to focus on profitability, rather than volume only measures, has led to improved product pricing that is more reflective of true costs and market risks
and is expected to help the Company continue to strengthen its earnings stream.
During the second quarter 2008, the Bank joined the MoneyPass
Network, a surcharge-free ATM network. As a result, AMCORE cardholders now have access to surcharge-free transactions at more than 13,000 ATMs across the United States, including a large concentration of ATMs conveniently located in the same
geographic regions as AMCORE customers. This new relationship expands AMCORE's channel of ATMs from roughly 350 to more than 800 throughout Illinois and Wisconsin.
Other Significant Items
Key personnel changes
On February 25, 2008, the Company announced that Kenneth E. Edge had elected
to retire as Chief Executive Officer (the Executive Retirement) of the Company, effective as of February 22, 2008, and remained as Chairman of the Board until May 6, 2008.
Also, on February 22, 2008, the Board of Directors (the Board) of the Company elected William R. McManaman as Chief Executive Officer, effective
February 25, 2008. Prior to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. McManaman, age 60, had served as a Director of the Company since 1997. On May 6, 2008, the Board elected Mr. McManaman as Chairman of the Board.
On July 17, 2008, the Company announced that Steven F. Gersch, senior vice president and senior credit officer, had been promoted to chief credit
officer. Gersch succeeds Melvin H. Buser, who retired from the Company on July 17, 2008. Prior to joining AMCORE, Gersch worked as a consultant helping banks across the country strengthen their credit programs and has had extensive credit
experience with several leading Midwestern banks. Gersch brings nearly 30 years of credit risk management experience to the Company.
Branch
expansion
During first quarter 2008, the Bank opened two new branches, one in Mt. Prospect, Illinois and one in Wheaton, Illinois. The Bank is slowing the opening of new branches to only those already in the construction pipeline or under
contract. In 2008, this will include a branch in Vernon Hills, Illinois. In 2009, this will include Antioch, Illinois and Naperville, Illinois.
Significant transactions
During 2007, the Company entered into a strategic arrangement with a national mortgage services company to provide private-label loan processing and servicing support (the Mortgage
Restructuring). As part of this
22
arrangement, the Company sold the majority of its OMSR portfolio (the OMSR Sale) in which it recorded a $2.6 million gain, of which $2.4 million
was recorded in the first quarter of 2007 (the OMSR Gain). The arrangement offers AMCORE a greater breadth of products, more competitive pricing and greater processing efficiencies and is expected to better position the Company for
future loan origination growth. As a result of this arrangement, AMCORE expects to better control the risks associated with its mortgage banking business. Additionally, the cost structure in the mortgage banking business has become almost entirely
variable in nature, allowing the Company to better absorb fluctuations in mortgage volumes. These include the costs of originating loans that are netted against mortgage banking income or interest income, as well as processing and servicing costs of
loans retained in the Banks portfolio and that are a component of operating expenses.
In the first quarter of 2007, AMCORE redeemed its $40 million,
9.35 percent coupon outstanding trust preferred securities (Trust Preferred) at a cost of $2.3 million that included both a call premium and unamortized issuance expenses (the Extinguishment Loss). The redemption was funded with a new
lower cost Trust Preferred issuance of $50 million at a rate of 6.45 percent.
On May 3, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase (the Repurchase Program) of up to two million shares of the Companys stock. The authorization was for a twelve-month period to be executed through open market or privately negotiated purchases. This authorization
replaced a previous Repurchase Program that expired May 3, 2007. During 2007, the Company repurchased 2.12 million shares at an average price of $27.92 per share. No shares were purchased during the first half of 2008 as increasing risks
in the economy and in the financial markets make the retention of capital a key consideration. The Repurchase Program expired on May 3, 2008.
Regulatory developments
On May 31, 2005, the Bank entered into a Formal Agreement with the OCC, the Banks primary regulator, to strengthen the Bank's consumer compliance program. On August 10, 2006, the
Bank entered into a Consent Order with the OCC to strengthen its compliance monitoring policies, procedures, training and overall program relating to the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) regulations. The commitments and requirements
imposed by these two items were completed and, on April 14, 2008, the Bank was notified that the OCC had terminated the Formal Agreement and the Consent Order.
On May 15, 2008, the Bank entered into a written agreement (the Agreement) with the OCC. The Agreement describes commitments made by the Bank to address and strengthen banking practices relating to
asset quality and the overall administration of the credit function at the Bank. The Bank has already begun to implement enhancements to its credit processes to address the matters identified by the OCC and the Bank expects to comply with all the
requirements specified in the Agreement. The Agreement results in the Banks ineligibility for certain actions and expedited approvals without the prior written consent and approval of the OCC. These actions include, among other things, the
appointment of directors and senior executives, making or agreeing to make certain payments to executives or directors, business combinations and branching.
Impact of inflation
- Apart from operating expenses, the financial services industry is not directly affected by inflation, however, as the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) monitors economic trends and developments, it
may change monetary policy in response to economic changes which would have an influence on interest rates. See the discussion of Net Interest Income, changes due to rate, below.
Accounting Changes
Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (the FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair value measurements. For some
entities, the application of the standard may change how fair value is measured. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and all interim periods within those fiscal years.
This standard was adopted in first quarter 2008 and did not have a material affect on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
Split-Dollar Life Insurance
In September 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-4 Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement
Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The issue requires companies to recognize a liability for future benefits on split dollar insurance arrangements
23
if the benefit to the employee extends to postretirement periods. The issue is required to be applied to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007,
with earlier application permitted. This standard was adopted in first quarter 2008 and did not have a material affect on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The fair value option established by this standard permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Under SFAS No. 159, a business entity is
required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. The standard
was effective as of January 1, 2008. The Company did not adopt fair value for any new items.
Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through
Earnings
In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 109, which superseded SAB No. 105, which applied only to derivative loan commitments that are
accounted for at fair value through earnings. The new guidance states that, consistent with the guidance in SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, and SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities, the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings.
This standard was adopted in first quarter 2008 and did not have a material affect on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
Minority Interests
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. Among other things, SFAS
No. 160 requires minority interests be recorded as a separate component of equity and that net income attributable to minority interests be clearly identified on the Statement of Income. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Statement No. 160 is required to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. Adoption of this standard in
fiscal year 2009 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
Business
Combinations
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, to improve financial reporting on business combinations, including recognition and measurement of assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2008. An entity may not apply this Statement before that date.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure
In March 2008, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities to provide enhanced disclosures and thereby improve the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 with early application encouraged. Adoption of this standard at year-end is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Income.
OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Overview of
the Quarter
AMCORE reported a net loss of $20.2 million or $0.91 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This compares to net
income of $10.6 million or $0.45 per diluted share for the same period in 2007 and represents a $30.8 million or $1.36 per diluted share decrease quarter to quarter. AMCORE had a negative return on average equity and on average assets for second
quarter 2008 of 23.54% and 1.58%, respectively. This compares to a positive return on average equity and on average assets of 10.99% and 0.81%, respectively, for the same period in 2007.
Significant Categories for the Quarter
Changes in the significant categories of second quarter 2008 net loss,
compared to first quarter 2007 net income, were:
24
Net interest income
Declined $4.7 million due to funding costs associated with increased levels of
non-accrual loans, including the reversal of accrued interest for loans moved to non-accrual status. Net interest margin was 3.07% in second quarter 2008 compared to 3.39% in second quarter 2007.
Provision for loan losses
Increased $35.8 million to $40.0 million in second quarter 2008 from $4.2 million in second quarter 2007, reflecting a 356%
increase in non-performing loans.
Non-interest income
Was essentially flat at $19.5 million in second quarter, compared to $19.4 million in
second quarter 2007. Increases of $1.2 million in service charges on deposits, $723,000 in investment management and trust income and $339,000 in bankcard fee income were nearly offset by a $1.6 million decline in other non-interest income and a
$512,000 decline in mortgage banking income.
Operating expenses
Increased $7.8 million to $48.3 million in second quarter 2008 from $40.5
million in second quarter 2007. The increase was primarily due to a $6.1 million write-off of goodwill and a $1.5 million impairment charge for the Facilities Consolidation. Otherwise, increases in loan processing and collection expenses, FDIC
insurance expense and net occupancy expense were offset by lower compensation related costs.
Income taxes
Decreased $17.3 million, primarily
due to a $32.8 million loss before income taxes in second quarter 2008 compared to $15.4 million in earnings before income taxes in second quarter 2007. The effective tax rate was 38.2% in second quarter 2008 compared to 31.1% in second quarter
2007. Items that are exempt from taxes, such as municipal bond income and increases in cash surrender value (CSV) of Bank and Company owned life insurance (COLI), while generally resulting in an effective tax rate that is lower than the statutory
tax rate, have the opposite effect in a period where there is a loss before income taxes. Conversely, items that are not deductible for tax purposes, such as goodwill, while generally resulting in an effective tax rate that is higher than the
statutory tax rate, have the opposite effect in a period where there is a loss before income taxes.
Overview of the Year-to-Date
AMCORE reported a net loss of $47.7 million or $2.14 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This compares to net income of $18.8 million or $0.79
per diluted share for the same period in 2007, and represents a $66.5 million or $2.93 per diluted share decrease year to year. AMCORE had a negative return on average equity and on average assets for the first six months of 2008 of 26.61% and
1.86%, respectively. This compares to a positive return on average equity and on average assets of 9.65% and 0.72%, respectively, for the same period in 2007.
Significant Categories for the Year-to-Date
Changes in the significant categories for the first six months of 2008 net loss, compared to
the first six months of 2007 net income, were:
Net interest income
Declined $8.4 million reflecting the cost of funding increased levels of
non-accrual loans, including the reversal of accrued interest for loans moved to non-accrual status and pressure on deposit rates, especially certificates of deposit (CDs) in all markets. Net interest margin was 3.10% for the first six months of
2008 compared to 3.38% in the first six months of 2007.
Provision for loan losses
Increased $89.8 million to $97.2 million for the first six
months of 2008 from $7.4 million in the first six months of 2007, reflecting significant increases in non-performing and underperforming loans.
Non-interest income
Declined $1.4 million, from $38.8 million in the first six months of 2007 to $37.4 million in the first six months of 2008. Increases of $2.2 million in service charges on deposits, $1.0 million in net
security gains, $950,000 in investment management and trust income, $517,000 in brokerage commission income and $484,000 in bankcard fee income were more than offset by a $5.5 million decline in other non-interest income and a $1.0 decline in
mortgage banking income.
Operating expenses
Increased $7.7 million to $93.2 million in the first six months of 2008 from $85.5 million in the
first six months of 2007. The increase was due to the $6.1 million write-off of goodwill and the $1.5 million impairment charge for the Facilities Consolidation. Otherwise, increases in loan processing and collection expenses, FDIC insurance
expense, net
25
occupancy expense, professional fees and other real estate owned expenses were more than offset by lower compensation related costs and advertising and
business development expenses.
Income taxes
Decreased $40.8 million, primarily due to an $80.3 million loss before income taxes for the
first half of 2008 compared to $27.0 million in earnings before income taxes in the first half of 2007. The effective tax rate was 40.6% in the second half of 2008 compared to 30.3% in second quarter 2007. As noted previously, items that are exempt
from taxes while generally resulting in an effective tax rate that is lower than the statutory tax rate have the opposite effect in a period where there is a loss before income taxes. Conversely, items that are not deductible for tax purposes have
the opposite effect in a period where there is a loss before income taxes.
EARNINGS REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
The following discussion compares the major components of net (loss) income and their impact for three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the
Companys largest source of revenue and represents the difference between income earned on loans and investments (interest-earning assets) and the interest expense incurred on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities).
Fluctuations in interest rates, volume and mix changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the carrying cost of non-accrual loans can materially affect the level of net interest income. Because the interest that is earned
on certain loans and investment securities is not subject to federal income tax, and in order to facilitate comparisons among various taxable and tax-exempt interest-earning assets, the following discussion of net interest income is presented on a
fully taxable equivalent, or FTE basis. The FTE adjustment was calculated using AMCOREs statutory federal income tax rate of 35%.
Net
interest spread is the difference between the average yields earned on interest-earning assets and the average rates incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning
assets. Since a portion of the Companys funding is derived from interest-free sources, primarily demand deposits, other liabilities and stockholders equity, the effective interest rate incurred for all funding sources is lower than the
interest rate incurred on interest-bearing liabilities alone.
Overview
As reflected below, net interest income, on an FTE basis, declined $4.5
million or 11% in second quarter 2008 compared to second quarter 2007. The decline was due to a $17.5 million decline in FTE interest income, partially offset by a $13.0 million decline in interest expense. For the comparable six month periods, net
interest income, on an FTE basis, declined $8.1 million or 10%. The decline was due to a $27.3 million decline in FTE interest income, partially offset by a $19.3 million decline in interest expense.

second quarter 2008 from 2.88% in second quarter 2007. The net interest margin was 3.07% in second quarter 2008, a decline of 32 basis points from 3.39% in second quarter 2007. For the first six months of 2008, net interest spread declined 16 basis
points to 2.70% from 2.86% in comparable prior year period. The net interest margin was 3.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decline of 28 basis points from 3.38% in the same six-month period in 2007.
The declines in net interest spread and net interest margin were driven by lower average yields on loans, reflecting declining interest rates, increased levels of
non-accrual loans and the reversal of accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status. The decline in loan yields were not matched by a corresponding decline in funding rates, as deposits and wholesale funding sources did not reprice as
rapidly as loans, while some transactional deposit products have already reached a rate floor, where further reductions in rates paid are not possible. In addition, continued efforts by competitors to pay well above the wholesale cost of funds,
including the Banks need to attract deposits in the current liquidity stressed environment, continue to place pressure on deposit rates. Declines in average bank-issued deposit funding have also been replaced with higher-cost wholesale funding
sources. Another factor contributing to the decline in margin and spread was the continued divergence in recent financial markets with higher declines in prime rates compared to LIBOR-based rates and the substitution of debt for capital in the
Repurchase Program. Since the Company has a higher proportion of prime-based loans and a higher proportion of LIBOR-based liabilities, the aforementioned divergence in interest rates resulted in some reduction in net interest spread and net interest
margin. While the Repurchase Program improved the efficiency of the Companys capital structure, it has also contributed to the compression in net interest spread and net interest margin.
Changes due to volume (See Tables 3 and 4)
In second quarter 2008, net interest income (FTE) declined due to average volume by $737,000 when compared to
second quarter 2007. This decline was comprised of a $1.3 million decline in interest income that was partially offset by a $592,000 decrease in interest expense. The decline in interest income was attributable to a $75 million decline in average
interest-earning assets. The decrease was driven by a $110 million reduction in average loans, offset by increases of $25 million in average investment securities and $15 million in average other short-term investments. The reduction in average
loans is attributable to the current market environment, where tighter credit pressures are generating pay downs faster than new loans are available. The reduction in average loans has been partially reinvested in investment securities and
short-term investments. Average interest-bearing liabilities only declined $56 million, compared to the $75 million decline in average interest-earning assets, due to the Repurchase Program, which substituted debt for capital.
For the first six months of 2008, net interest income (FTE) declined due to average volume by $1.7 million when compared to the first six months of 2007. This decline
was comprised of a $2.6 million decline in interest income that was partially offset by an $890,000 decrease in interest expense. The decline in interest income was attributable to a $74 million decline in average interest-earning assets, primarily
due to a $72 million reduction in average loans. Average interest-bearing liabilities only declined $43 million, compared to the $74 million decline in average interest-earning assets, also due to the Repurchase Program, which substituted debt for
capital.
Changes due to rate (See Tables 3 and 4)
In second quarter 2008, net interest income (FTE) declined due to average rates by $3.8
million when compared with the same period in 2007. This was comprised of a $16.2 million decrease in interest income that was only partly offset by a $12.4 million decrease in interest expense.
For the first six months of 2008, net interest income (FTE) declined due to average rates by $6.4 million when compared with the same period in 2007. This was comprised
of a $24.8 million decrease in interest income that was only partly offset by an $18.4 million decrease in interest expense.
Both interest-earning asset
yields and interest-bearing liability costs were affected by seven separate decreases in the federal funds (Fed Funds) rate totaling a combined 325 basis points, all of which occurred since the second quarter of 2007. In addition, non-accrual loans
have increased from $30 million at the end of 2006 to $171 million as of June 30, 2008. The Bank must continue to fund these non-earning loans until they are resolved.
Interest rate risk
Like most financial institutions, AMCORE has an exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates. Among those factors that could further affect net interest margin and
net interest spread include: greater and more frequent changes in interest rates, including the impact of basis risk between various interest rate indices such as prime and LIBOR, changes in the shape of the yield curve, mismatch in the duration of
interest-earning assets and the interest-bearing liabilities that fund them, the effect of prepayments or renegotiated rates, increased price competition on both deposits and loans, promotional pricing on deposits, short-term liquidity needs that
could drive up the cost of attracting new funding, changes in the mix of earning assets and the mix of liabilities, including greater or less use of wholesale sources, changes in the
27
level of non-accrual loans, and in an environment such as is currently being experienced where there are rapid and substantial declines in interest rates,
the limited ability to reduce certain low-cost deposit product rates (such as NOW accounts) to the same extent that interest-earning assets reprice. As the increased level of non-accrual loans will take time to work out, and there are no immediate
signs of deposit pricing pressures waning, the Company does not expect a recovery in the margin or spread statistics for several quarters.
Provision
for Loan Losses
Loans, the Companys largest income earning asset category, are periodically evaluated by management in order to establish an
adequate allowance for loan losses (Allowance) to absorb estimated losses that are probable as of the respective reporting date. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed loans where it is probable that the
Company will be unable to collect all of the amounts due (principal or interest) according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement (impaired loans) and statistical loss estimates for loan groups or pools that are based on historical loss
experience. Also included are other loss estimates that reflect the current credit environment and that are not otherwise captured in the historical loss rates. These include the quality and concentration characteristics of the various loan
portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrowers ability to repay or collateral values, and economic and industry conditions, among other things. The Allowance is also subject to periodic examination by regulators, whose review may
include their own assessment as to its adequacy to absorb probable losses.
Additions to the Allowance are charged against earnings for the period as a
provision for loan losses (Provision). Conversely, this evaluation could result in a decrease in the Allowance and Provision. Actual loan losses are charged against and reduce the Allowance when management believes that the collection of principal
will not occur and the loss has been confirmed. Unpaid interest attributable to prior years for loans that are placed on non-accrual status is also charged against and reduces the Allowance. Unpaid interest for the current year for loans that are
placed on non-accrual status is charged against and reduces the interest income previously recognized. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the Allowance, if any, are credited to and increase the Allowance.
The second quarter 2008 Provision was $40.0 million, an increase of $35.8 million from $4.2 million in second quarter 2007. For the first six months of 2008, the
Provision was $97.2 million, an increase of $89.8 million from $7.4 million for the same period in 2007. The increases for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same periods in 2007, were primarily due to higher
net charge-offs and non-performing loans.
Net charge-offs were $17.0 million or 87 basis points of average loans for the first half of 2008, compared to
$7.6 million or 38 basis points of average loans for the same period in 2007. Non-performing loans were $172 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $30 million at the beginning of 2007. Non-performing loans is the sum of non-accrual loans and
loans that are ninety days past due but are still accruing interest.
Delinquencies, loans that are thirty to ninety days past due, have also increased
from $47 million at the beginning of 2007 to $97 million as of June 30, 2008. While non-performing loans continued to increase during the second quarter of 2008 in the amount of $58 million or 51%, delinquencies declined by $14 million or 12%
as compared to first quarter 2008, the first decline in over a year. While there is no doubt that the first quarters delinquencies contributed to the increase in non-performing loans during the second quarter, the delinquencies that migrated
to non-performing loans were not replaced at the same pace as in previous quarters.
The level of net charge-offs, non-performing loans and delinquent
loans is largely due to the rapid deterioration in real estate markets that has occurred across the country. In the Midwest, where the Company has its footprint, the result has been declines in real estate sales activity that negatively affects the
liquidity and capital resources of borrowers, which in turn negatively affects the borrowers ability to make principal and interest payments when due. The decline in sales activity also leads to eroding property values, which serve as
collateral for the repayment of loans. These circumstances are particularly evident for developers of residential real estate properties, where the Company has a large concentration in loans outstanding of $745 million, down from $758 million at the
end of first quarter 2008. Developers use loan proceeds to fund the acquisition of land, development of the raw land, and construction of homes. These projects are heavily dependent upon the successful sale of units completed early in the
projects life to fund units scheduled later in the project and then have the sales proceeds from those later units repay the loans. The combination of declining sales activity, softening collateral values and large real estate concentrations
led to the significant increase in the Companys Provision in the first and second quarters of 2008 compared to 2007.
28
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income is comprised primarily of fee-based revenues from bank-related service charges on deposits and Investment Management and Trust. Income from bankcard fee income, COLI, brokerage commission income and mortgage
banking income are also included in this category.
Overview
For second quarter 2008, non-interest income totaled $19.5 million, compared to
$19.4 million in second quarter 2007. Increases of $1.2 million in service charges on deposits, $723,000 in investment management and trust income and $339,000 in bankcard fee income were nearly offset by a $1.6 million decline in other non-interest
income and a $518,000 decline in mortgage banking income.
For the first six months of 2008 non-interest income declined $1.4 million, from $38.8 million
in first six months of 2007 to $37.4 million. Increases of $2.2 million in service charges on deposits, $1.0 million in net security gains, $950,000 in investment management and trust income, $517,000 in brokerage commission income and $484,000 in
bankcard fee income were more than offset by a $5.5 million decline in other non-interest income and a $1.0 million decline in mortgage banking income.
Investment management and trust income
Investment Management and Trust (IMT) income includes trust services, investment management, estate administration, financial planning and employee benefit plan recordkeeping and
administration. Investment Management and Trust income totaled $4.4 million in second quarter 2008, an increase of $723,000 or 20% from $3.7 million in second quarter 2007. For the six month period ended June 30, 2008, IMT income was $8.7
million, an increase of $950,000 from $7.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The increases for the three and six month periods were primarily attributable to a non-recurring charge that decreased employee benefit
administration fees in second quarter 2007 and higher personal trust fee income. At June 30, 2008, total assets under administration were $2.5 billion.
Service charges on deposits
Service charges on deposits, the Companys largest source of non-interest income, totaled $8.7 million in second quarter 2008, a $1.2 million or 17% increase over $7.4 million in second
quarter 2007. For the first six months of 2008, service charges on deposits were $16.0 million, a $2.2 million or 16% increase over $13.8 million for the first six months of 2007. Service charges on consumer deposit accounts were the primary driver
of the increases and were affected by enhancements to the Companys fee structure and waiver policies on both retail and commercial deposits. Also contributing to the increase were declining interest rates that have reduced the deposit credit
offset against commercial account activity fees. While this rate of growth is not expected to continue, this level of revenue is expected to be sustainable over time with some additional improvement in the near-term as the full impact of interest
rate declines on commercial deposit offsets are realized.
Mortgage Banking income
Mortgage banking income includes fees generated from the
underwriting, originating and servicing of mortgage loans along with gains and fees realized from the sale of these loans, net of origination costs, OMSR amortization and impairment.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, mortgage banking income was a loss of $5,000 and income of $340,000, respectively. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, mortgage
banking income was $513,000 and $1.4 million, respectively. Year-over-year, mortgage banking income declined a total of $1.0 million. The decline was primarily due to lower closing volume of $146 million in the first half of 2008 compared to $162
million in the first half of 2007 and lower servicing fee income due to the OMSR Sale in 2007, after which the Company no longer generates fee income in connection with the servicing of mortgage loans sold to the secondary market. The cost of
servicing those loans, a component of operating expense, was also eliminated after the Mortgage Restructuring. Mortgage banking income was also affected by a $156,000 write-down of its held-for-sale-inventory associated with increasing mortgage
interest rates.
COLI income
COLI income totaled $1.1 million in second quarter 2008, a $141,000 or 11% decrease from $1.2 million in second
quarter 2007, due to negative mark-to-market adjustments on underlying investments. Year-to-date, COLI income increased $141,000 to $2.3 million from $2.2 million as improved yields on underlying investments and higher balances more than offset the
second quarters negative mark-to-market adjustment. AMCORE uses COLI as a tax-advantaged means of financing its future obligations with respect to certain non-qualified retirement and deferred compensation plans in addition to other employee
benefit programs. As of June 30, 2008, the cash surrender value (CSV) of COLI was $142 million.
29
Other non-interest income
For second quarter 2008, other non-interest income, which includes
brokerage commission income, bankcard fee income, net security (losses) gains and other, totaled $5.4 million, a $1.2 million decline from $6.6 million in second quarter 2007. The decline was primarily due to a decline in CRA-related income and
lower customer service fee related income, partly offset by higher bankcard fee income. Increases in bankcard fee income were aided by the Banks expanding ATM network.
Year-to-date 2008, other non-interest income totaled $10.0 million compared to $13.7 million in the comparable prior year period, a decline of $3.7 million. In addition to the factors noted for second quarter 2008
compared to second quarter 2007, the $2.6 million OMSR Gain in 2007 and $329,000 in derivative mark-to-market losses in 2008 compared to $488,000 in mark-to-market gains in 2007 contributed to the larger year-to-date decline. These were partly
offset by a $1.0 million net security gain in first quarter 2008. The net security gain related to a partial redemption distribution received as a member company in connection with the initial public offering (IPO) of VISA, Inc. The gain includes a
partial reversal of litigation and guaranty losses recognized in fourth quarter 2007 to the extent they relate to the Companys share of IPO proceeds retained in escrow by VISA, Inc. to fund the losses.
Operating Expenses
Overview
In second quarter 2008,
operating expenses increased $7.8 million to $48.3 million from $40.5 million in second quarter 2007. Year-to-date 2008, operating expenses increased $7.7 million to $93.2 million from $85.5 million in 2007. The increases for both the quarter and
year-to-date periods were primarily due to a $6.1 million second quarter 2008 write-off of goodwill and a $1.5 million second quarter 2008 impairment charge for the Facilities Consolidation. Otherwise, increases in loan processing and collection
expenses, FDIC insurance expense and net occupancy expense were offset by lower compensation related costs.
The efficiency ratio was 87% in second quarter
2008, compared to 67% in second quarter 2007 and was 85% and 71% for the first six months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total operating expenses by revenues. Revenues are the sum of net interest
income and non-interest income. Contributing to the increase for both the quarter and year-to-date 2008 were the goodwill write-off and Facilities Consolidation charge.
Personnel expense
Personnel expense includes compensation expense and employee benefits and is the largest component of operating expenses, totaling a combined $22.0 million in second quarter 2008,
compared to $24.0 million in second quarter 2007, and $46.4 million year-to-date 2008 compared to $50.4 million year-to-date 2007. These represented declines of $2.0 million and $4.0 million for the respective three and six month periods.
First quarter 2008 included $758,000 in costs associated with the Executive Retirement and $462,000 of severance related to staff eliminations connected
to the Companys cost efficiencies initiative. First quarter 2007 included $1.3 million in expense for the separation of a senior executive, severance costs associated with job eliminations in connection with the Mortgage Restructuring, and the
close out of a legacy supplemental retirement plan for two directors.
The majority of the three and six month declines in 2008, compared to 2007, relate
to the savings realized from the Companys cost efficiencies initiative and reduced staff related to the Mortgage Restructuring. Staffing levels are nearly 8% below levels of one year ago.
Facilities expense
Facilities expense, which includes net occupancy expense and equipment expense, totaled a combined $6.5 million in second quarter 2008,
compared to $5.9 million in second quarter 2007, and $13.3 million year-to-date 2008 compared to $12.2 million year-to-date 2007. These represented increases of $617,000 and $1.1 million for the respective three and six month periods. The increase
was primarily due to higher rental expense and real estate taxes associated with new branches that were opened after the first quarter of 2007 and higher snow removal costs in first quarter 2008.
Professional fees
Professional fees include legal, consulting, auditing and external portfolio management fees and totaled $2.0 million in second quarter
2008, an increase of $51,000 from second quarter 2007. For the 2008 six month period, professional fees were $4.5 million, an increase of $669,000 from $3.8 million for the first six months of 2007. The increase
30
for the six month period reflects higher legal fees and consulting costs associated with the Executive Retirement. The Company expects professional fees to
be flat over the next few quarters as it will have additional fees related to a third party review of its loan portfolio, but will not have expenses related to the compliance and BSA/AML agreement and consent order, which were recently lifted.
Goodwill
Goodwill impairment for second quarter and year-to-date 2008 was $6.1 million, and completely eliminates all goodwill previously
carried on the Companys balance sheet. The write-off was due to the considerable and protracted discount of the Companys stock value compared to its book value, which affected all business segments, as well as due to the decline in the
operations of the Company.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses includes data processing expense, communication expense,
advertising and business development expenses and other costs, and were a combined $11.7 million in second quarter 2008. This was a $2.9 million increase from $8.8 million in second quarter 2007. The increase was due to the $1.5 million Facilities
Consolidation charge, increased loan processing and collection charges and higher FDIC insurance premiums. The increase in FDIC insurance premiums is due to the exhaustion of prior year credits that AMCORE, along with many other insured banks, were
allocated for prior year contributions into the insurance fund, along with increased rates associated with regulatory changes and lower credit quality.
For the 2008 six month period, other operating expenses totaled a combined $22.8 million for an increase of $3.8 million from $19.1 million in the comparable six-month period in 2007. In addition to the items affecting second quarter 2008
compared to 2007, a $3.1 million charge in first quarter 2008 for unfunded loan commitments partially offset by the $2.3 million Extinguishment Loss recorded in first quarter 2007, contributed to the increase in other operating expenses.
The increases for both the three and six month periods were partly offset by lower advertising/business development costs, fraud losses, printing/supplies expenses
and travel/entertainment costs, all reflecting savings realized from the Companys cost efficiencies initiative and Mortgage Restructuring.
The
Company expects FDIC insurance premiums to remain at higher than historical levels, with perhaps some reduction as the credit quality of the Banks loan portfolio improves.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense decreased $17.3 million, primarily due to a $32.8 million loss before income taxes
in second quarter 2008 compared to $15.4 million in earnings before income taxes in second quarter 2007. The effective tax rate was 38.2% in second quarter 2008 compared to 31.1% in second quarter 2007. For the first six months of 2008, income tax
expense decreased $40.8 million, primarily due to an $80.3 million loss before income taxes for the first half of 2008 compared to $27.0 million in earnings before income taxes in the first half of 2007. The effective tax rate was 40.6% in the first
half of 2008 compared to 30.3% in the first half of 2007.
Items that are exempt from taxes, such as municipal bond income and increases in cash surrender
value (CSV) of Bank and Company owned life insurance (COLI), while generally resulting in an effective tax rate that is lower than the statutory tax rate, have the opposite effect in a period where there is a loss before income taxes. Conversely,
items that are not deductible for tax purposes, such as goodwill, while generally resulting in an effective tax rate that is higher than the statutory tax rate, have the opposite effect in a period where there is a loss before income taxes. The
primary reason that the second quarter 2007 effective tax rate is lower than the second quarter 2008 effective tax rate is due to a loss for the period because of Provision and the goodwill write-off.
EARNINGS REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
AMCOREs
internal reporting and planning process focuses on four primary lines of business (Segment(s)): Commercial Banking, Retail Banking, Investment Management and Trust, and Mortgage Banking. Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
presents a condensed income statement and total assets for each Segment.
31
The financial information presented was derived from the Companys internal profitability reporting system that is
used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Company. This information is based on internal management accounting policies which have been developed to reflect the underlying economics of the Segments and, to the extent
practicable, to portray each Segment as if it operated on a stand-alone basis. Thus, each Segment, in addition to its direct revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, includes an allocation of shared support function expenses. The Commercial,
Retail and Mortgage Banking Segments also include funds transfer adjustments to appropriately reflect the cost of funds on loans made and funding credits on deposits generated. Apart from these adjustments, the accounting policies used are similar
to those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Since there are no comprehensive standards for management accounting that
are equivalent to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the information presented is not necessarily comparable with similar information from other financial institutions. In addition, methodologies used to
measure, assign and allocate certain items may change from time-to-time to reflect, among other things, accounting estimate refinements, changes in risk profiles, changes in customers or product lines, and changes in management structure.
Total Segment results differ from consolidated results primarily due to inter-segment eliminations, certain corporate administration costs, items not
otherwise allocated in the management accounting process and treasury and investment activities such as the offset to the funds transfer adjustments made to the Segments, interest income on the securities investment portfolio, gains and losses on
the sale of securities, COLI, CRA related fund income and derivative gains and losses. The impact of these items is aggregated to reconcile the amounts presented for the Segments to the consolidated results and is included in the Other
column of Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commercial Banking
The Commercial Banking Segment (Commercial) provides commercial banking services to middle market and small business customers through the Banks full service branch
and limited branch office locations. The services provided by Commercial include lending, business checking and deposits, treasury management and other traditional as well as electronic services.
Overview
Commercial represented 106% and 59%, respectively, of total Segment net loss in the first six months of 2008 and net income in the first six months
of 2007. Commercial total assets were $3.0 billion at June 30, 2008 and represented 59% of total consolidated assets. This compares to $3.2 billion and 61% at June 30, 2007.
Commercial net loss for the period ended June 30, 2008 was $45.1 million, a decrease of $60.6 million or 391% from net income reported for the same period in 2007 of $15.5 million. The decrease was primarily due
to an $84.8 million increase in Provision, a $9.8 million decrease in net interest income and a $2.4 million goodwill write-off, which were partly offset by a $37.2 million decrease in income taxes.
The decline in net interest income was driven by the impact of prepayment fees, increased levels of non-accrual loans, decreased loan volumes and the reversal of accrued
interest on loans placed on non-accrual status. The decline in loan yields was not matched by a corresponding decline in funding rates, as deposits and wholesale funding sources did not reprice as rapidly as loans. The increase in Provision was
primarily due to deterioration of credit quality and increased net charge-offs of non-performing loans. The combination of declining real estate sales activity, which negatively affected developers ability to service their loans, softening
collateral values and large real estate concentrations led to the significant increase in the Provision for the first six months of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in income taxes was due to the year-to-year decline in
pre-tax income.
Retail Banking
The Retail Banking
Segment (Retail) provides banking services to individual customers through the Banks branch locations. The services provided by Retail include direct and indirect lending, checking, savings, money market and CD accounts, safe deposit rental,
ATMs, and other traditional and electronic services.
Overview
Retail represented 4% and 33%, respectively, of total Segment net loss for the
six months of 2008 and net income for the first six months of 2007. Retail total assets were $789 million at June 30, 2008 and represented 15% of total consolidated assets. This compares to $687 million and 13% at June 30, 2007.
32
Retail net income for the period ending June 30, 2008 was $1.8 million, a decrease of $6.8 million or 79% from net
income of $8.7 million reported in the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.4 million increase in Provision and a $7.4 million increase in operating expenses, that were partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in
non-interest income and a $2.1 million decrease in income taxes.
The increase in Provision was mainly due to higher net charge-offs, specifically one $2.0
million charge-off on a large home equity credit that was managed by Retail. The increase in operating expenses was due to a $3.6 million goodwill write-off, higher rental expense associated with new branches that were opened after the first quarter
of 2007, the affects of the Facilities Consolidation, and higher allocated expenses. The increase in non-interest income was mainly due to higher service charges on deposits, brokerage commission referral income and bankcard fee income. Income taxes
decreased due to lower income before taxes.
Investment Management and Trust
The Investment Management and Trust Segment (IMT) provides wealth management services, which includes trust services, investment management, estate administration, financial planning, employee benefit plan
recordkeeping and administration and brokerage services.
Overview
IMT represented 2% each, of total Segment net loss for the first six months
of 2008 and net income for the first six months of 2007. IMT total assets were $12.4 million at June 30, 2008 and were $13.4 million at June 30, 2007.
IMT income for the period ended June 30, 2008 was $1.0 million, an increase of $600,000 or 139% from the same period in 2007, as higher non-interest income and lower operating expenses were partly offset by increased income taxes.
The increase in non-interest income was attributable to higher personal trust services and brokerage commission income plus a non-recurring charge that
decreased employee benefit administration fees in second quarter 2007. The decrease in operating expenses was net of a $195,000 goodwill write-off.
Mortgage Banking
The Mortgage Banking Segment (Mortgage) provides a variety of mortgage lending products to meet its customers needs.
It sells most of the loans it originates to a third-party mortgage services company, which provides private-label loan processing and servicing support on both sold and retained loans.
Overview
Mortgage was essentially breakeven for the first six months of 2008 and represented 6% of total Segment net income in the first six months of 2007. Mortgage total assets were $224 million at
June 30, 2008 and represented 4% of total consolidated assets. This compares to $291 million and 5% at June 30, 2007.
Mortgage income declined
$1.6 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in non-interest income partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in operating expenses. Other changes, a
$652,000 increase in Provision, a $467,000 decline in net interest income and a $1.0 million decrease in income taxes were largely offsetting.
The
decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to the $2.6 million OMSR Gain recorded in first six months of 2008, lower servicing fee income attributable to the OMSR Sale and lower closing volumes, year-over-year. The decrease in operating
expenses was attributable to lower personnel costs and allocated expenses, the benefit of an improved cost structure associated with the Mortgage Restructuring. Income taxes decreased due to lower income before taxes.
33
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Total assets were essentially flat at $5.2 billion for both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, reflecting a decrease of $18 million. Total liabilities increased $37 million over the same period while
stockholders equity decreased $55 million. The following discusses changes in the major components of the Consolidated Balance Sheet since December 31, 2007.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $37 million from December 31, 2007 to June, 2008,
as cash provided by operating activities of $26 million and cash provided by financing activities of $28 million, more than offset a decrease in cash used in investing activities of $17 million.
Securities Available for Sale
Total securities available for sale as
of June 30, 2008 were $887 million, an increase of $44 million or 5% from December 31, 2007. At June 30, 2008, the total securities available for sale portfolio comprised 18% of total earning assets, including COLI. Among the factors
affecting the decision to purchase or sell securities are the current assessment of economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate environment, regulatory capital levels, the liquidity needs of the Company, and its pledging
obligations.
As of June 30, 2008, mortgage and asset backed securities totaled $682 million and represented 77% of total available for sale
securities. The distribution of mortgage and asset backed securities included $111 million of GSE mortgage-backed pass through securities, $488 million of GSE collateralized mortgage obligations, $52 million of private issue collateral mortgage
obligations, and $31 million of private issue asset backed obligations, all of which are rated Aaa.
The $887 million of total securities available for
sale includes gross unrealized gains of $4 million and gross unrealized losses of $15 million. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses is the difference between a securitys fair value and carrying value. The fair value of a security is
generally influenced by two factors, market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the exposure of the security to changes in interest rate. There is an inverse relationship to changes in the fair value of the security with changes in interest rates,
meaning that when rates increase the value of the security will decrease. Conversely, when rates decline the value of the security will increase. Credit risk arises from the extension of credit to a counter-party, for example a purchase of corporate
debt in security form, and the possibility that the counter-party may not meet its contractual obligations. The Companys policy is to invest in securities with low credit risk, such as U.S. Treasuries, U.S. government agencies (such as the
Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA), GSEs (such as FHLMC), state and political obligations, and highly-rated private issue mortgage and asset-backed securities. Unlike agency debt, GSE debt is not secured by the full faith
and credit of the United States.
The combined effect of the Companys gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses, net of tax, is included as
OCI in stockholders equity, as none of the securities with gross unrealized losses are considered other than temporarily impaired. If it is determined that an investment is impaired and the impairment is other-than-temporary, an impairment
loss is reclassified from OCI as a charge to earnings and a new carrying basis for the investment is established.
For comparative purposes, at
December 31, 2007, gross unrealized gains of $2 million and gross unrealized losses of $7 million were included in the securities available for sale portfolio
.

2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Loans Held for Sale
At June 30, 2008, mortgage origination fundings awaiting sale were $8 million, compared to $4 million at December 31, 2007. All loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value.
Residential mortgage loans are originated by the Companys Mortgage Banking Segment, of which non-conforming adjustable rate, fixed-rate and balloon residential mortgages have historically been retained by the Bank. The conforming adjustable
rate, fixed-rate and balloon residential mortgage loans were historically sold in the secondary market to eliminate interest rate risk, as well as to generate gains on the sale of these loans and servicing income. With the aforementioned Mortgage
Restructuring, a majority of all mortgage loans are now being sold for a fee net of origination costs. See Significant Transactions, discussed above.
34
Loans
Loans
represent the largest component of AMCOREs earning asset base. At June 30, 2008, total loans were $3.9 billion, a decrease of $52 million from December 31, 2007, and represented 79% of total earning assets including COLI. The
reduction in average loans is attributable to current market environment, where tighter credit pressures are generating pay downs faster than new loans are available. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Total commercial real estate loans, including real estate construction loans, decreased $71 million or 3%. Residential real estate loans decreased $29 million or 6%.
Commercial, financial and agricultural loans increased $26 million or 3%. Installment and consumer loans increased $22 million or 7%.
Goodwill
There was no goodwill balance at June 30, 2008, down $6.1 million from December 31, 2007, due to the previously discussed impairment write-off.
Deposits
Total deposits at June 30, 2008 were
$4.0 billion, a decrease of $47 million or 1% when compared to December 31, 2007. The decrease was due to a $233 million decrease in bank-issued deposits net of a $186 million increase in wholesale deposits. The decline in bank-issued deposits
reflects the Companys efforts to ensure that its deposit attraction strategies are priced at competitive, but profitable levels. This has led to some attrition in balances, as some customers, notably time deposit customers, moved balances to
other institutions. The Bank has also had some decline by customer, primarily commercial and private banking, with balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits. Finally, some commercial clients had seasonal deposit declines. Bank-issued deposits
represented 80% of total deposits at June 30, 2008 compared to 85% at December 31, 2007.
Borrowings
Borrowings totaled $846 million at June 30, 2008 and were comprised of $482 million of short-term borrowings and $364 million of long-term borrowings.
Comparable amounts at the end of 2007 were $397 million and $369 million, respectively, for combined borrowings of $766 million. Since December 31, 2007, total borrowings have increased by $80 million, comprised of an $85 million increase in
short-term borrowings and a $5 million decrease in long-term borrowings. The net increase in borrowings included $101 million in repurchase agreements, $75 million in Federal Reserve Bank Term Auction Facility (TAF) borrowings, $24
million in U.S. Treasury tax and loan note accounts and $7 million in draws against senior debt. The increase was partially offset by a $91 million decline in fed funds purchased and a $36 million decrease Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. See
Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
.
The Company has $50 million of Trust Preferred securities that qualify as Tier 1
Capital for regulatory capital purposes for the Company. The Bank has two fixed/floating rate junior subordinated debentures totaling a combined $50 million that qualify as Tier 2 Capital for regulatory capital purposes for both the Bank and the
Company.
On April 17, 2008, Fitch downgraded the Companys and the Banks long-term and short-term Issuer Default ratings to BB+/B. In
addition, Fitch revised the Rating Outlook to Negative from Stable.
Stockholders Equity
Total stockholders equity at June 30, 2008 was $314 million, a decrease of $55 million from December 31, 2007. The decrease in stockholders equity
was due to a $53 million decrease in retained earnings and a $3 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of other increases in capital of $1 million. The $53 million decrease in retained earnings was due to the $48 million
2008 first half net loss and cash dividends paid of $5 million. In addition to the cash dividend, the Company paid a stock dividend in June 2008 equivalent to $0.135 per share. Beginning equity account balances were restated for the effects of the
stock dividend and all share amounts have also been restated for all periods presented. See discussion below under Liquidity and Capital Management.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the ordinary course of its
business, the Company engages in financial transactions that are not recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, are recorded in amounts that are different than their full principal or notional amount, or are recorded on an equity or cost basis
rather than being consolidated. Such transactions serve a variety of purposes including management of the Companys interest rate risk, liquidity and credit concentration risks, optimization of capital utilization, assistance in meeting the
financial needs of its customers and satisfaction of CRA obligations in the markets that the Company serves.
Mortgage loan sales
Historically,
the Company sold most of the mortgage loans that it originated to the secondary market, retaining the right to service the loans that are sold. As a result, the loans were removed from the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets, an OMSR asset
was recorded and gains on the sale of the loans were recognized, pursuant to SFAS No 140. During 2007, the Company sold the majority of its OMSR portfolio. The Company now sells the majority of the mortgage loans that it originates, including the
rights to service the loans sold, to a national mortgage services company in a private-label loan processing and servicing support arrangement. See above discussion of Significant Transactions. At both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $17 million. These loans are not recorded on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had recorded
$131,000 and $139,000, respectively, of OMSRs. There were no impairment valuation allowances for either period. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Derivatives
The Company periodically uses derivative contracts to help manage its exposure to changes in interest rates and in conjunction with its mortgage banking operations. The derivatives used most
often are interest rate swaps, and on occasion caps, collars and floors (collectively the Interest Rate Derivatives), mortgage loan commitments and forward contracts. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no
caps, collars or floors outstanding. Interest Rate Derivatives are contracts with a third-party (the Counter-party) to exchange interest payment streams based upon an assumed principal amount (the Notional Principal Amount).
The Notional Principal Amount is not advanced to/from the Counter-party. It is used only as a reference point to calculate the exchange of interest payment streams and is not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. AMCORE does not have any
derivatives that are held or issued for trading purposes but it does have some derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. AMCORE monitors credit risk exposure to the Counter-parties. All Counter-parties, or their parent company, have
investment grade credit ratings and are expected to meet any outstanding interest payment obligations.
The total notional amount of Interest Rate
Derivatives outstanding was $47 million and $141 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, Interest Rate Derivatives had a net negative carrying and fair value of $630,000, compared to a net
negative carrying and fair value of $1.7 million at December 31, 2007. The total notional amount of forward contracts outstanding for mortgage loans to be sold was $21 million and $23 million as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. As of June 30, 2008, the forward contracts had a net positive carrying and fair value of $286,000 compared to a net negative carrying and fair value of $96,000 at December 31, 2007. For further discussion of derivatives, see
Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loan commitments and letters of credit
The Company, as a provider of financial
services, routinely enters into commitments to extend credit to its Bank customers, including a variety of letters of credit. Letters of credit are a conditional but generally irrevocable form of guarantee on the part of the Bank to make payments to
a third party obligee, upon the default of payment or performance by the Bank customer or upon consummation of the underlying transaction as intended. While these represent a potential outlay by the Company, a significant amount of the commitments
and letters of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Commitments and letters of credit are subject to the same credit policies, underwriting standards and approval process as loans made by the Company.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, liabilities in the amount of $126,000 and $111,000, respectively, representing the value of the guarantee obligations
associated with certain of the letters of credit, had been recorded in accordance with FIN No. 45. These amounts are expected to be amortized into income over the lives of the commitments. The contractual amount of all letters of credit,
including those exempted from the scope of FIN No. 45, was $170 million and $192 million at June 30, 2008 and the end of 2007, respectively. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
36
The net carrying value of mortgage loan commitments recorded as a liability totaled $132,000 and as an asset totaled
$43,000 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. These amounts represent the fair value of those commitments marked-to-market in accordance with SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities and in accordance with SAB No. 105. The total notional amount of mortgage loan commitments was $21 million at June 30, 2008 and $18 million at December 31, 2007. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had extended $708 million and $867 million, respectively, in loan commitments
other than the mortgage loan commitments and letters of credit described above. This amount represented the notional amount of the commitment. A contingent liability of $4.1 million and $958,000 has been recorded for the Companys estimate of
probable losses on unfunded commitments outstanding at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Equity investments
The
Company has a number of non-marketable equity investments that have not been consolidated in its financial statements but rather are recorded in accordance with either the cost or equity method of accounting depending on the percentage of ownership.
At both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, these investments included $4 million in CRA related investments. Not included in the carrying amount were commitments to fund an additional $1.5 million, at some future date. The Company also
has recorded investments of $4 million, $20 million, and $89,000, respectively, in stock of the Federal Reserve Bank, the FHLB and preferred stock of Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation at June 30, 2008. At December 31, 2007, these
amounts were $4 million, $20 million, and $97,000, respectively. These investments are recorded at amortized historical cost or fair value, as applicable, with income recorded when dividends are declared.
Other investments, comprised of various affordable housing tax credit projects (AHTCP) and other CRA related investments, totaled approximately $644,000 and $698,000 at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Losses are limited to the remaining investment and there are no additional funding commitments on the AHTCPs by the Company. Those investments without guaranteed yields were reported on
the equity method, while those with guaranteed yields were reported using the effective yield method. The maximum exposure to loss for all non-marketable equity investments is the sum of the carrying amounts plus additional commitments, if any, and
the potential for the recapture of tax credits on AHTCP should it fail to qualify for the entire period required by tax regulations.
Other
investments
The Company also holds $2 million in a common security investment in AMCORE Capital Trust II (the Capital Trust), to which the Company has $52 million in long-term debt outstanding. The Capital Trust, in addition to
the $2 million in common securities issued to the Company, has $50 million in Trust Preferred securities outstanding. The $50 million in Trust Preferred securities were issued to non-affiliated investors during 2007 and are redeemable beginning in
2012. In its Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company reflects its $2 million common security investment on the equity method and reports the entire $52 million as outstanding long-term debt. For regulatory purposes, however, the $50 million in
Trust Preferred securities qualifies as Tier 1 capital for the Company.
Fiduciary and agency
The Companys subsidiaries also hold assets
in a fiduciary or agency capacity that are not included in the Consolidated Financial Statements because they are not assets of the Company. Total assets administered by the Company were $2.5 billion at June 30, 2008 and $2.7 billion at
December 31, 2007.
Contractual Obligations
In
the ordinary course of its business, the Company enters into certain contractual arrangements. These obligations include issuance of debt to fund operations, property leases and derivative transactions. With the predominant portion of its business
being banking, the Company routinely enters into and exits various funding relationships including the issuance and extinguishment of long-term debt. See the discussion of Borrowings above, and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. During the second quarter of 2008, the Bank gave notice of its intent to exit one of its limited branch offices, recording a lease termination obligation of $938,000, which is reflected as a contractual obligation under operating leases
in the table below. There were no other material changes in the Companys contractual obligations since the end of 2007. Amounts as of December 31, 2007 are listed in the following table:

ASSET QUALITY REVIEW AND CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
AMCOREs credit risk is centered in its loan portfolio, which totaled $3.9 billion, or 79% of earning assets, including COLI on June 30, 2008. The objective in managing loan portfolio risk is to quantify and
manage credit risk on a portfolio basis as well as to reduce the risk of a loss resulting from a customers failure to perform according to the terms of a transaction. To achieve this objective, AMCORE strives to maintain a loan portfolio that
is diverse in terms of loan type, industry concentration and borrower concentration.
The Company is also exposed to carrier credit risk with respect to
its $142 million investment in COLI. AMCORE has managed this risk by utilizing separate accounts in which its credit exposure is to a specific investment portfolio rather than the carrier. The underlying investment portfolios (which are
managed by parties other than AMCORE) consist of investment grade securities and the investment guidelines typically have a requirement to sell if the securities are downgraded. Separate accounts constitute the majority of AMCOREs COLI
portfolio. In terms of COLI accounts where AMCORE is directly exposed to carrier risk, this risk has been managed by diversifying its holdings among multiple carriers and by periodic internal credit reviews. All carriers have investment grade
ratings from the major rating agencies.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Allowance is a significant estimate that is regularly reviewed by
management to determine whether or not the amount is considered adequate to absorb inherent losses that are probable as of the reporting date. If not, an additional Provision is made to increase the Allowance. Conversely, this review could result in
a decrease in the Allowance. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed impaired loans and statistical loss estimates for loan groups or pools that are based on historical loss experience. Also included are
other loss estimates, which reflect the current credit environment and that are not otherwise captured in the historical loss rates.
The determination by
management of the appropriate level of the Allowance amounted to $133.4 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $53.1 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of $80.3 million or 151%. Specific loss estimates on individually reviewed
impaired loans and loss estimates on loan pools increased $14.5 million and $65.8 million, respectively, at June 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007. The increase in the Allowance was taken in light of sustained increases in
non-performing loans, increased delinquencies, higher net charge-offs and the rapid deterioration in real estate sales activity in the Midwest that negatively affects the liquidity and capital resources of borrowers and the borrowers ability
to make principal and interest payment when due. The decline in sales activity also leads to eroding property values, which serve as collateral for the repayment of loans.
At June 30, 2008, the Allowance as a percent of total loans and of non-performing loans was 3.44% and 78%, respectively. These compare to the same ratios at December 31, 2007 of 1.35% and 75%. Net
charge-offs were $17.0 million in the first six months of 2008, an increase of $9.4 million from $7.6 million in the first six months of 2007. Annualized, this was 0.87% and 0.38% of average loans, respectively. Increases included commercial real
estate net charge-offs of $5.9 million, residential real estate net charge-offs of $4.0 million and consumer/installment net charge-offs of $377,000. These were partially offset by a $932,000 decline in commercial and industrial net charge-offs.
38
Non-performing Assets
Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans ninety days past due and
still accruing interest, foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets. Non-performing assets totaled $181.0 million as of June 30, 2008, an increase of $105.9 million, or 141%, from $75.1 million at December 31, 2007. The increase
since December 31, 2007 consisted of a $101.0 million increase in non-performing loans driven by a rapid weakening of real estate conditions in the Companys markets. These market conditions are expected to persist into the third quarter
of 2008. Foreclosed assets increased by $4.9 million, as newly foreclosed loans exceeded liquidations of existing foreclosed assets. Total non-performing assets represented 3.49% and 1.45% of total assets at June 30, 2008 and December 31,
2007, respectively.
In addition to the amount of non-performing loans, management is aware that other possible credit problems of borrowers may exist.
These include loans that are migrating from grades with lower risk of loss probabilities into grades with higher risk of loss probabilities, as performance and potential repayment issues surface. The Company monitors these loans and adjusts its
historical loss rates in its Allowance evaluation accordingly. The most severe of these loans are credits that are classified as substandard assets due to either less than satisfactory performance history, lack of borrower's sound worth or paying
capacity, or inadequate collateral. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were $8.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in this risk category that were 60 to 89 days delinquent and $31.8 million and $12.8 million,
respectively, that were 30 to 59 days past due.
Concentration of Credit Risks
As previously discussed, AMCORE strives to maintain a diverse
loan portfolio in an effort to minimize the effect of credit risk. Summarized below are the characteristics of classifications that exceed 10% of total loans.
Commercial, financial, and agricultural loans were $793 million at June 30 2008, and comprised 20% of gross loans, of which 1.30% were non-performing. Net charge-offs of commercial loans in the first six months of 2008 and 2007 were
0.19% and 0.42%, respectively, of the average balance of the category.
Commercial real estate and construction loans were $2.3 billion at June 30,
2008, comprising 59% of gross loans, of which 6.22% were classified as non-performing. Net charge-offs of construction and commercial real estate loans during the first six months of 2008 and 2007 were 0.86% and 0.34%, respectively, of the average
balance of the category.
The above commercial loan categories included $745 million in construction, land development loans and other land loans and $607
million of loans to non-residential building operators, which were 19% and 16% of total loans, respectively. There were no other loan concentrations within these categories that exceeded 10% of total loans.
Residential real estate loans, which include home equity and permanent residential financing, totaled $439 million at June 30, 2008, and represented 11% of gross
loans, of which 4.07% were non-performing. Net charge-offs of residential real estate during the first six months of 2008 and 2007 were 1.83% and 0.09%, respectively, of the average balance in this category. The increases in net charge-offs reflects
credit conditions in general and the chargedown of one larger credit in first quarter 2008. The Bank does not engage in sub-prime lending.
Installment and
consumer loans were $358 million at June 30, 2008, and comprised 9% of gross loans, of which 0.31% were non-performing. Net charge-offs of consumer loans during the first six months of 2008 and 2007 were 1.24% and 1.11%, respectively, of the
average balance of the category. Consumer loans are comprised primarily of in-market indirect auto loans and direct installment loans. Indirect auto loans totaled $294 million at June 30, 2008. Both direct loans and indirect auto loans are
approved and funded through a centralized department utilizing the same credit scoring system to provide a standard methodology for the extension of consumer credit.
Contained within the concentrations described above, the Company has $1.5 billion of interest only loans, of which $883 million are included in the construction and commercial real estate loan category, $483 million
are included in the commercial, financial, and agricultural loan category, and $155 million are in home equity loans and lines of credit. The Company does not have any negative amortization loans, and does not have significant concentrations of high
loan-to-value loans, option adjustable-rate mortgage loans or loans that initially have below market rates that significantly increase after the initial period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Liquidity Management
Overview
Liquidity management is the process by which the Company, through its
Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) and capital markets and treasury function, ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances.
Liquidity is derived primarily from bank-issued deposit growth and retention; principal and interest payments on loans; principal and interest payments,
sale, maturity and prepayment of investment securities; net cash provided from operations; and access to other funding sources. Other funding sources include brokered CDs, Fed Funds purchased lines, Federal Reserve Bank discount window advances,
U.S. Treasury tax and loan note accounts (TT&L), TAF borrowings, FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, the sale or securitization of loans, subordinated debentures, balances maintained at correspondent banks and access to other
capital market instruments. Bank-issued deposits, which exclude wholesale deposits, are considered by management to be the primary, most stable and most cost-effective source of funding and liquidity. The Bank also has capacity, over time, to place
additional brokered CDs as a source of mid- to long-term funds.
Uses of liquidity include funding credit obligations to borrowers, funding of
mortgage originations pending sale, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt when due or called, maintaining adequate collateral for public deposits, paying dividends to shareholders, payment of operating expenses, funding capital expenditures
and maintaining deposit reserve requirements.
During the first six months of 2008, wholesale funding, which includes borrowings and brokered deposits,
increased $266 million. Wholesale funding represented 31% of total assets at June 30, 2008, compared to 26% as of the end of 2007. The Companys liquidity was considered adequate to meet its short-term and long-term needs as of
June 30, 2008.
Investment securities portfolio
Scheduled maturities of the Companys investment securities portfolio and the
prepayment of mortgage and asset backed securities represent a significant source of liquidity. Approximately $23 million, or 3%, of the securities portfolio will contractually mature during the remainder of 2008. This does not include mortgage and
asset backed securities since their payment streams may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations, typically without penalty. For example, scheduled maturities for 2007, excluding mortgage and
asset backed securities, were $13 million, whereas actual proceeds from the portfolio, which included scheduled payments and prepayments of mortgage and asset backed securities, were $196 million.
Loans
Funding of loans is the most significant liquidity need, representing 75% of total assets as of June 30, 2008. Since December 31, 2007, loans
decreased $52 million. Loans held for sale, which represents mortgage origination funding awaiting sale, increased $5 million. The scheduled repayments and maturities of loans represent a substantial source of liquidity.
Bank-issued deposits
Bank-issued deposits are the most cost-effective and reliable source of liquidity for the Company. Since December 31, 2007,
bank-issued deposits declined $233 million. The decline in bank-issued deposits reflects the Companys efforts to ensure that its deposit attraction strategies are priced at competitive, but profitable levels. This has led to some attrition in
balances, as some customers, notably time deposit customers, moved balances to other institutions. In addition, some commercial clients had seasonal deposit declines. Bank-issued deposits represented 80% of total deposits at June 30, 2008
compared to 85% at December 31, 2007.
Branch expansion
The Bank is slowing the opening of new branches to only those already in the
construction pipeline or under contract. Except for loan growth, branch expansion is not expected to require a significant amount of liquidity.
Parent
company
In addition to the overall liquidity needs of the Company, the parent company requires adequate liquidity to pay its expenses, repay debt when due and pay stockholder dividends. Liquidity is primarily provided to the parent company
through the Bank in the form of dividends. The Bank is limited by regulation in the amount of dividends that it can pay, without prior regulatory approval. In recent years, the Company took steps to transfer excess liquidity to the parent company
from the Bank, with dividend payments of $60 million and $55 million, in 2007 and 2006, respectively. For 2008, current Bank earnings may not be paid as dividends without prior regulatory approval.
Other sources of liquidity
As of June 30, 2008, other sources of potentially available liquidity included unused collateral sufficient to support $295
million in Federal Reserve Bank discount window advances, $105 million of unpledged debt
40
investment securities, $39 million of FHLB advances and $223 million in TT&L (both of which can also be used for TAF borrowings). The Company also has
capacity, over time, to place sufficient amounts of brokered CDs as a source of mid- to long-term liquidity. Unfunded Fed Funds lines also provide a source of overnight liquidity. The Banks indirect auto portfolio, which at June 30, 2008
was $294 million, is a potential source of liquidity through future loans sales or securitizations. Fed Funds lines are uncommitted lines and unpledged debt investment securities may not result in the same dollar amount of liquidity due to
overcollateralization requirements.
Other uses of liquidity
At June 30, 2008, other potential uses of liquidity totaled $899 million and
included $708 million in commitments to extend credit, $21 million in residential mortgage commitments primarily held for sale, and $170 million in letters of credit. At December 31, 2007, these amounts totaled $1.1 billion.
The Company entered into a stock redemption agreement (Redemption Agreement) on October 16, 1989, as amended June 30, 1993, pursuant to Section 303 of the
Internal Revenue Code to pay death taxes and other related expenses of certain stockholders. Such redemptions may be subject to bank regulatory agency approvals or limited by debt covenant restrictions.
Capital Management
Total stockholders equity at June 30,
2008 was $314 million, a decrease of $55 million from December 31, 2007. The decrease in stockholders equity was due to a $53 million decrease in retained earnings and a $3 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, net
of other increases in capital of $1 million. The $53 million decrease in retained earnings was due to the $48 million 2008 year-to-date net loss and cash dividends paid of $5 million. In addition to the cash dividend, the Company paid a stock
dividend in June 2008 equivalent to $0.135 per share. Beginning equity account balances were restated for the effects of the stock dividend and all share amounts have also been restated for all periods presented. AMCORE paid $5 million of cash
dividends in the first six months of 2008, which represented $0.232 per share, and also paid $9 million or $0.365 per share in the first six months of 2007. The book value per share decreased $2.50 per share to $14.08 at June 30, 2008, down
from $16.58 at December 31, 2007.
As part of the Repurchase Program, the Company was authorized to repurchase shares in open market and private
transactions in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18. These repurchases are used in part to replenish the Companys treasury stock for reissuances related to stock options and other employee benefit plans. Included in the repurchased shares
are direct repurchases from participants related to the administration of the Amended and Restated AMCORE Stock Option Advantage Plan. During the first six months of 2008, the Company purchased 10,500 shares in open-market and private transactions
at an average price of $24.35 per share.
AMCORE has outstanding $52 million of capital securities through the Capital Trust. Of the $52 million, $50
million qualifies as Tier 1 capital for the Companys regulatory capital purposes, which is the $52 million reduced by the $2 million of common equity securities owned by the Company. During 2006, the Company issued fixed/floating rate junior
subordinated debentures in the amount of $50 million. The debt qualifies as Tier 2 Capital for Bank and Company regulatory capital purposes. The Bank has the capacity to issue, under regulatory guidelines, additional subordinated debt that would
qualify as Tier 2 Capital.
As the following table indicates, AMCOREs total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratio all exceeded the
regulatory minimums, as of June 30, 2008. In addition, as of the most recent notification from the Companys regulators, the Bank is considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework.

The above analysis shows the changes in interest income (tax equivalent FTE) and interest expense
attributable to volume and rate variances. The change in interest income (tax equivalent) due to both volume and rate have been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in
each. Because of changes in the mix of the components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the computations for each of the components do not equal the calculation for interest-earning assets as a total or interest-bearing
liabilities as a total.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
As part
of its normal operations, AMCORE is subject to interest-rate risk on the assets it invests in (primarily loans and securities) and the liabilities it funds with (primarily customer deposits, brokered deposits and borrowed funds), as well as its
ability to manage such risk. Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair market values of AMCOREs financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. Like most financial institutions, AMCORE has an exposure to
changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates.
While AMCORE manages other risks in its normal course of operations, such as credit and liquidity
risk, it considers interest-rate risk to be its most significant market risk. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of AMCOREs business activities and
operations. In addition, since AMCORE does not hold a trading portfolio, it is not exposed to significant market risk from trading activities. There were no material changes in AMCOREs primary market risk exposures from those reported in the
2007 Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K. Based upon current expectations, no material changes are anticipated in the future in the types of market risks facing AMCORE.
Like most financial institutions, AMCOREs net income can be significantly influenced by a variety of external factors, including: overall economic conditions, policies and actions of regulatory authorities, the
amounts of and rates at which assets and liabilities reprice, variances in prepayment of loans and securities other than those that are assumed, early withdrawal of deposits, exercise of call options on borrowings or securities, competition, a
general rise or decline in interest rates, changes in the slope of the yield-curve, changes in historical relationships between indices (such as LIBOR and prime) and balance sheet growth or contraction. AMCOREs asset and liability committee
(ALCO) seeks to manage interest rate risk under a variety of rate environments by structuring the Companys balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions. The risk is monitored and managed within approved policy limits.
The Company utilizes simulation analysis to quantify the impact on income before income taxes under various rate scenarios. Specific cash flows, repricing
characteristics, and embedded options of the assets and liabilities held by the Company are incorporated into the simulation model. Earnings at risk is calculated by comparing the income before income taxes of a stable interest rate environment to
the income before income taxes of a different interest rate environment in order to determine the percentage change.
The following table summarizes the
affect on annual income before income taxes based upon an immediate increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points and no change in the slope of the yield curve:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The amounts and assumptions used in the simulation model should not be viewed as indicative of expected actual
results. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies. The above results do not take into account any management
action to mitigate potential risk.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have
not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter ending as of this report date to which this report
relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Other Information
ITEM 1.
|
Legal Proceedings
|
Management believes that no litigation
is threatened or pending in which the Company faces potential loss or exposure which will materially affect the Companys consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Since the Companys subsidiaries act as
depositories of funds, trustee and escrow agents, they occasionally are named as defendants in lawsuits involving claims to the ownership of funds in particular accounts. The Bank is also subject to counterclaims from defendants in connection with
collection actions brought by the Bank. This and other litigation is incidental to the Companys business.
During fourth quarter 2007, as a member of
the VISA, Inc. organization (VISA), the Company accrued a $653,000 liability for its proportionate share of various claims against VISA. This amount consisted of $217,000 of claims settled by VISA but not yet paid, a $68,000 estimate of claims
considered probable by VISA pursuant to SFAS No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies
and $368,000 representing the Companys estimate of certain indemnification obligations pursuant to FIN No. 45, Guarantors
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.
During first quarter 2008, the
Company received a partial redemption distribution in connection with the IPO of VISA for which a $1.0 million net security gain was recorded. The gain included a partial reversal of litigation and guaranty losses described above to the extent they
related to the Companys share of IPO proceeds retained in escrow by VISA to fund the losses. The remaining contingent liability is $338,000.
There has not been any material change in the
risk factors disclosure from that contained in the Companys 2007 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

The Companys Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program on May 3, 2007. The repurchase
program allowed the repurchase of up to two million shares for a 12-month period expiring on May 3, 2008. Repurchases can be executed through open market or privately negotiated purchases. The Company may periodically repurchase shares in
open-market transactions in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18 through a limited group of brokers to replenish the Companys treasury stock for re-issuances related to stock option exercises and other employee benefit plans. Included in
the repurchased shares above are direct repurchases from participants, at their discounted price, related to the administration of the Amended and Restated AMCORE Stock Option Advantage Plan. There were no shares tendered in the second quarter to
effect stock option exercise transactions in the numbers above.
