Overview

MainSource Financial Group, Inc. ("MainSource" or the "Company") is a financial holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its three wholly owned subsidiary banks ("Banks"): MainSource Bank headquartered in Greensburg, Indiana, MainSource Bank of Illinois headquartered in Kankakee, Illinois, and MainSource Bank - Ohio headquartered in Troy, Ohio. The banks operate under state charters and are subject to regulation by their respective state regulatory agencies and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Non-banking subsidiaries include MainSource Insurance, LLC and MainSource Title, LLC. Both of these subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the Indiana Department of Insurance. The Company also owns all of the outstanding stock of MainSource Bank - Hobart, although substantially all of the assets of that bank were transferred to MainSource Bank in May, 2007.

Business Strategy

The Company operates under the broad tenets of a long-term strategic plan ("Plan") designed to improve the Company's financial performance, expand its competitive position and enhance long-term shareholder value. The Plan is premised on the belief of the Company's Board of Directors that it can best promote long-term shareholder interests by pursuing strategies which will continue to preserve its community-focused philosophy. The dynamics of the Plan assure continually evolving goals, with the enhancement of shareholder value being the constant, overriding objective. The extent of the Company's success will depend upon how well it anticipates and responds to competitive changes within its markets, the interest rate environment and other external forces.

Results of Operations

Net income was $19,152 in 2008, $21,870 in 2007, and $22,241 in 2006. Earnings per common share on a fully diluted basis were $1.00 in 2008, $1.17 in 2007, and $1.29 in 2006. The primary driver that led to the decrease in net income in 2008 was the $15,173 increase in the Company's loan loss provision expense. The increase in provision expense was partially offset by an increase of $13,128 in net interest income as the Company's net interest margin increased by 30 basis points year over year. The decrease from 2006 to 2007 in overall net income and earnings per share was primarily attributable to three factors: the decrease in the Company's net interest margin, the increase in the Company's loan loss provision expense, and the expenses incurred for the data processing system conversions of the Hobart and Crawfordsville affiliates. Key measures of the operating performance of the Company are return on average assets, return on average shareholders' equity, and efficiency ratio. The Company's return on average assets was 0.73% for 2008 compared to 0.90% for 2007 and 1.06% in 2006. The Company's return on average shareholders' equity was 6.9% in 2008 compared to 8.5% in 2007 and 10.4% in 2006. The Company's efficiency ratio, which measures the non-interest expenses of the Company as a percentage of its net interest income (on a fully taxable equivalent basis) and its non-interest income, was 60.7% in 2008 compared to 64.4% in 2007 and 63.6% in 2006.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income and net interest margin are influenced by the volume and yield or cost of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Tax equivalent net interest income of $91,358 in 2008 increased from $77,603 in 2007. Net interest margin, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, was 3.90% for 2008 compared to 3.60% for the same period a year ago. Due to rate reductions by the Federal Reserve during the year, the Company's cost of funds decreased steadily throughout the year and outpaced the decrease in the yield on earning assets. In addition, there was a favorable shift in the Company's volume and mix of earning assets as lower-yielding residential real estate loans were replaced by higher-yielding commercial loans.

The following table summarizes net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis) for each of the past three years.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income was $29,697 for 2008 compared to $28,126 for the same period in 2007. Increases in service charges on deposit accounts, interchange income and gains on the sale of investment securities were offset by the decrease in mortgage banking income and a reduction in income related to bank-owned life insurance policies as the Company recorded a $400 charge on its separate account investments. Despite an increase in the level of mortgage loans originated for sale, mortgage banking income decreased as the Company incurred an impairment charge of $1,226 related to its mortgage servicing rights. Non-interest income as a percent of non-interest expense was 40.8% for 2008 compared to 41.3% for 2007.

Total non-interest income was $28,126 for 2007 compared to $23,039 for 2006, an increase of $5,087 and 22.1% The acquisitions closed in 2006 were the primary driver of the increase as the Company realized the full-year effect in 2007.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $72,773 in 2008 compared to $68,020 in 2007, an increase of $4,753 and 7.0%. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of 1st Independence Bancorp, Inc. in August 2008, severance costs related to the resignation of the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, and normal employee merit increases.

Total non-interest expense was $68,020 in 2007 compared to $59,642 in 2006, an increase of $8,378 and 14.0%. The full-year effect of the 2006 acquisitions was the primary driver of this increase and added approximately $6,000 of expenses to 2007. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $900 of expenses related to the data processing system conversions of its Hobart and Crawfordsville, Indiana affiliates.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 18.6% in 2008, 24.0% in 2007, and 25.5% in 2006. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to lower pretax earnings with earnings from tax exempt assets remaining relatively flat. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to the purchase of a new markets tax credit investment in 2007. The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns.

Balance Sheet

At December 31, 2008, total assets were $2,899,835 compared to $2,536,437 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $363 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of 1st Independence which added $319,014 in assets.

Loans, Credit Risk and the Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

Loans remain the Company's largest concentration of assets and continue to represent the greatest potential risk. The loan underwriting standards observed by the Company's subsidiaries are viewed by management as a means of controlling problem loans and the resulting charge-offs.

The Company's conservative loan underwriting standards have historically resulted in higher loan quality and generally lower levels of net charge-offs than peer group averages. The Company also believes credit risks may be elevated if undue concentrations of loans in specific industry segments and to out-of-area borrowers are incurred. Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors regularly monitors such concentrations to determine compliance with its loan concentration policy. The Company believes it has no undue concentrations of loans.

Total loans (excluding those held for sale) increased by $301,923 from year-end 2007. The acquisition of 1st Independence in August 2008 accounted for $236,992 of the increase in loans. The $64,931 of organic loan growth was primarily concentrated in the commercial real estate area. Residential real estate loans continue to represent the largest portion of the total loan portfolio and were 44% of total loans at December 31, 2008 compared to 46% of total loans at the end of 2007.

The following table details the Company's loan portfolio by type of loan.

The Company regards its ability to identify and correct loan quality problems as one of its greatest strengths. Loans are placed on "non-accrual" status when, in management's judgment, the collateral value and/or the borrower's financial condition does not justify accruing interest. As a general rule, commercial and real estate loans are reclassified to nonaccrual status at or before becoming 90 days past due. Interest previously recorded is reversed and charged against current income. Subsequent interest payments collected on nonaccrual loans are thereafter applied as a reduction of the loan's principal balance. Non-performing loans were $59,310 as of December 31, 2008 compared to $20,493 as of December 31, 2007 and represented 2.97% of total loans at December 31, 2008 versus 1.21% one year ago.

The following table details the Company's non-performing loans as of December 31 for the years indicated.

              Total                                     $ 59,310     $ 20,493     $ 17,481     $ 10,217     $ 14,042

              % of total loans                             2.97%        1.21%        1.11%        1.07%        1.51%

Approximately 80% of the increase in non-accruing loans was attributable to 11 large credit relationships over $1,000. The provision for loan losses was $20,918 in 2008, $5,745 in 2007, and $1,819 in 2006. The increase in the Company's provision in 2008 was primarily due to the increase in non-performing loans, the increase in net charge-offs during 2008, and the deterioration of the economy and real estate market. Net charge-offs were $6,230 in 2008 compared to $4,206 in 2007 and $3,363 in 2006. As a percentage of average loans, net charge-offs equaled .35%, .26%, and .25% in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Substandard loans that were not classified as non-accrual were $39,339 at December 31, 2008 and $17,979 at December 31, 2007. The large increase in these substandard loans related to substandard commercial loans as they increased $19,099 from $15,694 at December 31, 2007 to $34,793 at December 31, 2008. Substandard mortgage loans totaled $3,806 and substandard installment loans were $740 at December 31, 2008. These loans are reviewed at least quarterly by senior management. Management believes these loans were well secured and had adequate allowance allocated at December 31, 2008.
