Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10Q and Rule 1001 of Regulation SX. 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.

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, including the critical accounting estimates, should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in the
2006 Annual Report of AMCORE Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) on Form 10-K (2006 Form 10-K).

Operating results for the three-
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and
footnotes thereto included in the 2006 Form 10K.

Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, which amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to separately recognize servicing assets and servicing liabilities and to report these balances at fair value upon inception. After initial recognition at fair value, the
Company continues amortization and measurement of lower-of-cost or market. With the sale of the majority of the Companys Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights (OMSRs) during first quarter 2007, the adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-5 Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin (TB) No. 85-4, Accounting for
Purchases of Life Insurance. The issue discusses whether an entity should consider the contractual ability to surrender all of the individual-life policies together when determining the amount that could be realized. Under some insurance
contracts, the policies provide a greater surrender value if all individual policies are surrendered at the same time rather than if the policies were surrendered over a period of time. The EITF determined that any additional amounts included in the
contractual terms should be considered when determining the realizable amounts. This issue was adopted in the first quarter of 2007 and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB
Statement No. 109 that clarifies the accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This interpretation was adopted in the first quarter of 2007. The adoption of this interpretation had no impact on the Companys
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), 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. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the standard, but adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB ratified 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. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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 have been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. The standard is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal
year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption was permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The
Company has chosen not to early adopt. Adoption of this standard in 2008 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

There have been no material changes to the Companys accounting policies from the 2006 Form 10-K.

|(1) | Includes the following U.S. Government agency issuances: $12 million of Government National Mortgage Association and $4 million of United States Department of Veterans Affairs at
June 30, 2007, and $6 million and $4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2006.
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Includes investments of $4 million and $20 million, respectively, in stock of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) at both June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006. These investments are recorded at historical cost with income recorded when dividends are declared. A portion of the FRB and FHLB investments are restricted as to sale because they are held to satisfy membership requirements.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | The Company has the ability to hold and has no intent to dispose of the related securities until maturity or upon fair value exceeding cost, as of June 30, 2007. The total
$21.2 million of unrealized losses is related to 183 securities. None of the unrealized losses were individually significant to the total and, except as discussed below, the unrealized losses were caused by interest rate increases. Of the total,
$19.4 million was related to 114 mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs with a qualify rating of Aaa; $780,000 related to five Aaa rated GSEs; and $1.0 million related to 62 municipal obligation bonds with quality ratings
from A1 to Aaa, with the exception of two that were not rated. Corporate obligations and other included two mortgage-backed bonds that had a combined unrealized loss of $20,000 and were collateralized by owner occupied first
lien mortgage loans. These bonds had a quality rating of Aaa and were sufficiently collateralized such that credit loss was considered remote, and the securities had an weighted average remaining life of .6 years. In the event of
prepayment, it is expected that the Company would recover substantially all of its recorded investment in both of these securities.

The weighted-average amortization period for OMSR retained during the second quarter of 2007 was 14 years. The
unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others, plus mortgage loans held for sale, was $110.1 million as of June 30, 2007, $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2006 and $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2006. The decline since
December 31, 2006 is a result of the OMSR sale noted above.

NOTE 5  SALE OF RECEIVABLES

The Company periodically sells certain indirect automobile loans in securitization transactions. Upon sale, the net carrying amount of the loans is removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet in exchange for cash and
certain retained residual interests. The retained interests, which are recorded in Securities Available for Sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, include rights to service the loans that were sold (the Servicing Rights) and an interest
in residual cash flows (the Interest-Only Strip). The Interest-Only Strip includes the excess of interest collected on the loans over the amount required to be paid to the investors and the securitization agent (the Excess
Spread) plus an interest in sales proceeds that were not remitted by the securitization trust at the time of the initial sale of the loans to the extent it exceeds projected credit losses (the Credit Enhancement or
Overcollateralization). There were no sales of indirect automobile loans during the first two quarters of 2007 or 2006.

The Company receives
monthly servicing fees equal to 0.75% per annum of the outstanding beginning principal balance of the loans serviced for the month and rights to future cash flows arising after the investors in the securitization trust have received the returns
for which they have contracted. The Companys retained interests are subordinate to investors interests. The value of the Interest-Only Strip is subject to prepayment risk and interest rate risk on the Excess Spread and credit risk on the
transferred automobile loans on the Overcollateralization. The Companys risk of loss attributable to prepayment and credit risk is limited to its interest in the Interest-Only Strip. Neither the investors nor the securitization trust have any
further recourse to the Companys other assets. Interest rate risk could exceed the Companys interest in the Excess Spread, but such a possibility is not considered probable as of June 30, 2007.

Key economic assumptions used in measuring the retained interests as of June 30, 2007, including the sensitivity of the current fair value of residual cash flows to
immediate 10% and 20% adverse changes in those assumptions, are as follows:

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. Changes in fair value based on a 10%
variation should not be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not always be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the
retained interests is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may correlate with changes in another (for example, increases in market interest rates may be concurrent with lower prepayments and increased
credit losses), and may magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Total cash flows attributable to the indirect automobile loan securitization transactions
were inflows of $239,000 and $1.7 million for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The following table summarizes the various cash flows received from and paid to the securitization trust:

Other cash flows include, for example, gross cash flows from Interest-Only Strips, net of reductions in such cash
flows for loan defaults, including the release of excess Overcollateralization funds.

The following table presents quantitative information about
delinquencies (loans 30 or more days past due plus non-accruals), net credit losses, and components of securitized indirect automobile loans and other assets managed together with them. Loan amounts represent the principal amount of the loan only.
Retained interests held for securitized assets are excluded from this table because they are recognized separately.

The Company periodically borrows from the 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, 2007 is 2.6 years, with a weighted average borrowing rate of 5.00%. Certain fixed-rate FHLB borrowings have prepayment penalties and
call or conversion to floating-rate features associated with them. FHLB borrowings of $1.0 million have call or conversion features, which have the potential to be exercised by FHLB between 2007 and 2008. Mortgage-related assets with a carrying
value of $516 million were held as collateral for FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2007.

On March 30, 2007, the Company redeemed its $40 million of
9.35% coupon AMCORE Capital Trust I (Capital Trust) preferred securities for a premium of $1.9 million and wrote off the remaining unamortized issuance costs of $386,000.

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%. The
securities are redeemable at any time up to June 6, 2012 at a declining rate of 104.4% to 100% of the principal amount. After June 6, 2012, they are redeemable at par until June 6, 2037 when redemption is mandatory. Prior redemption
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 bear 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 regulatory capital
purposes.

During 2006, the Company issued 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, 2007 is 14.4 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 borrowings to short-term borrowings when the remaining maturity becomes less than one year. Scheduled reductions of long-term borrowings are as
follows:

NOTE 8  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses derivatives to manage 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 and 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).

The following derivative related activity is included in other non-interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income, for the periods ended:

Fair value Hedges on $74 million of FHLB borrowings were terminated in 2006 and 2004, resulting in a loss of $2.9
million and a gain of $690,000, respectively. These amounts were deferred and classified as long-term debt with amortization to earnings over the remaining terms of the FHLB borrowings, in accordance with SFAS 138, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. During the third quarter of 2006, the $74 million in borrowings was extinguished and the $2.1 million remaining unamortized net deferred loss on the previously terminated hedges was charged to other
non-interest income.

NOTE 9  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 Companys consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Since the Companys 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. This and other litigation is incidental to the Companys business.

Guarantees:

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 customers needs. As of June 30, 2007,
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, 2007, the carrying value of these deferrals was a deferred credit of
$711,000. This amount included a $150,000 guarantee liability for letters of credit recorded in accordance with FIN 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others. The remaining $561,000 represented deferred fees charged for letters of credit exempted from the scope of FIN 45.

At June 30, 2007, the
contractual amount of all letters of credit, including those exempted from FIN 45, was $223.1 million. These represent the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company would be obligated to pay under the guarantees.

##### Table of Contents

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.

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 $968,000 as of June 30, 2007 and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2006.

Regulatory Matters:

On May 31, 2005, the Bank entered into a
written agreement (the Formal Agreement) with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Banks primary regulator. The agreement describes commitments made by the Bank and outlines a series of steps to address and
strengthen certain aspects of the Banks regulatory consumer compliance program. The Bank has continued to implement enhancements to its consumer compliance program to address the matters identified by the OCC. These enhancements are subject to
review by the OCC to determine if they comply with the commitments made in the agreement or whether additional steps are necessary.

On August 10,
2006, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the OCC. This order primarily imposes requirements on the Bank to take certain actions to strengthen its compliance monitoring policies, procedures, training and overall program relating to the Bank
Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) regulations. The Consent Order did not impose any fine or civil money penalty on the Bank, but does make the Bank ineligible for certain expedited approvals. AMCORE has been working to strengthen and
enhance its BSA/AML program to comply with the terms of the Consent Order. The BSA/AML program enhancements are subject to review by the OCC to determine if they comply with the commitments under the Consent Order or whether additional steps are
necessary. In the event the OCC determines that the Bank has not complied with the terms of the Formal Agreement or the Consent Order, the Bank is subject to possible additional enforcement actions by the OCC.

##### Table of Contents

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.

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 accordance with SFAS No. 123R. In computing diluted EPS, only potential common shares that are dilutivethose that reduce earnings per share or increase loss per
shareare included. Exercise of options is not assumed if the result would be antidilutive.

NOTE 11  SEGMENT INFORMATION

AMCOREs 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 Companys 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 Companys Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Since there are no comprehensive authorities for management accounting equivalent to U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, 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.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company changed its method for measuring fund transfer adjustments to include non-earning assets, liabilities, and equity, in addition to funds transfer adjustments for loans made
and deposits generated. The effect of this change for the second quarter was to increase net interest income in the Commercial Banking and Retail Banking Segments by $1.3 million and $498,000, respectively. For the year-to-date period, Commercial
Banking and Retail Banking Segments were increased by $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and the Mortgage Banking Segment declined by $33,000. Also during first quarter of 2007, ATM related income and expenses previously included in the
Other category were included in the Retail Banking segment consistent with internal management reporting. For the prior year periods, ATM activity has been reclassified to reflect this change.

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. 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. On
December 30, 2005, the Company completed the sale of IMG and subsequent charges attributable to IMG have been presented in discontinued operations.

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 Banks 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 Banks 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 its 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 on both the loans sold and loans retained by the Bank.

NOTE 12  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Retirement Plans

All eligible employees of the Company participate in the AMCORE Financial Security Plan (Security
Plan), a qualified defined contribution plan under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Security Plan provides participants basic retirement contributions that are funded by the Company as well as an opportunity to make
employee contributions that are eligible to receive matching Company contributions up to certain levels. The expense related to the Security Plan was $963,000 and $925,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
and was $2.1 million for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The Company also has a non-qualified profit sharing plan that provides a cash payment based upon achievement of corporate performance goals, to all employees
who have met service requirements. The expense related to the profit sharing plan was $92,000 and $174,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and was $381,000 and $360,000 for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, 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 Companys 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 $41,000 and $57,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and was $82,000
and $114,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 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 a discontinued defined benefit plan that pays a lifetime annual retainer to certain retired
non-employee directors that became eligible for the plan before it was discontinued. The plan is non-qualified and unfunded.

The following table
summarizes, in aggregate for the two defined benefit retirement plans, the changes in obligations, net periodic benefit costs and other information for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30.

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 Plans administrator based upon actuarial recommendations for coverage. Retirees and COBRA beneficiaries contribute 100% of their premiums. The Companys
share of the employee premiums and other Health Plan costs are expensed as incurred. Expense related to the Health Plan was $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and was $3.0
million and $2.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, 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 $12.9 million and $13.9 million as of June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Expense related to the deferred compensation plan was $259,000 and $208,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and was $500,000 and $441,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, respectively.

NOTE 13  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 123R, Share-Based Payment.The modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R was adopted and accordingly, the
Company has not restated prior period results to reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. Under this transition method, compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted subsequent to the effective date and for all awards granted, but not
yet vested, prior to the effective date.

The Companys actual expense related to stock-based compensation for the quarters and year-to-date ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

At June 30, 2007, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $6.4 million, net of estimated
forfeitures, which will be recognized over a weighted average amortization period of 2.8 years. Prior to adopting SFAS 123R, the Company presented tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Statement of
Cash Flows. SFAS 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, 2007,
2006, respectively, $693,000, and $121,000, of excess tax benefits have been classified as an operating cash outflow and financing cash inflow.

The
Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of restricted stock, PSUs and employee stock purchase plan grants generally equals their intrinsic value on the date of grant. The fair value of
stock- based grants is amortized to operating expense on a straight-line basis over the required vesting period of the grant. Stock option grants made to retirement eligible employees are fully expensed during the period in which the options are
granted.

The Company annually evaluates the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model. The Company believes that the combination
of historical and implied volatility provides a reasonable estimate of expected stock price volatility and will continue to monitor these and other relevant factors to estimate expected volatility for future option grants. The Company utilizes the
simplified method for estimating the expected term of options granted during the period as provided for in Staff Accounting Bulletin 107. The Company continues to base the estimate of risk-free rate on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in
effect at the date of grant. Dividend yield is the Companys annual dividend rate expressed as a percentage of the closing stock price on grant date. Estimated forfeitures are based on historical employee termination experience. The estimate of
forfeitures is adjusted to the extent that actual forfeitures differ from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized in subsequent periods as they occur.

The Company adopted the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3 for calculating the tax effects of stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS 123(R). The
alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (APIC pool) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the
subsequent impact on the APIC pool and consolidated statements of cash flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards.

The fair
value of the Companys employee and director stock options granted during the second quarters of 2007 and 2006 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions.

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, PSUs and other forms of stock-based awards. The maximum number of shares to be granted under the plan is 2,125,000. The Company will not reprice any awards under the SAIP unless such repricing is
approved by a majority vote of the Companys stockholders. Awards issued pursuant to the SAIP that expire, are forfeited or terminated for any reason shall again be available to grant.

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 five years and expire from seven to ten years from the date of grant. Options issued are valued using the Black-Scholes model with assumptions as previously described. The activity during the first six months of 2007 and the
total options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2007 pursuant to the SAIP and previous incentive plans are as follows:

Performance Share Units (PSUs).The Company grants PSUs pursuant to the terms and conditions of various
sub-plans provided for in the SAIP. The sub-plans establish performance periods that are generally one to three-year periods during which PSUs may be earned. Specific performance goals and target PSUs granted are approved by the Compensation
Committee of the Companys

##### Table of Contents

Board of Directors. The number of PSUs earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target PSUs granted. Each PSU represents the right to receive a share of the
Companys 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. As of June 30, 2007, 113,720 PSUs were expected to be earned and the weighted average grant date fair value per PSU was $28.28. Expense is adjusted for forfeitures as they occur.

Restricted Stock Awards.The Company granted restricted stock awards to certain key employees in 2000. 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 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, 2007, non-vested shares totaled 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 each current eligible non-employee director and each subsequently elected non-employee director receive, in lieu of a cash retainer, shares of common stock of the Company, the value of which is equal to
three times the annual retainer. Restricted stock grants are valued at market value on the date of grant and are expensed over the required service period. The shares vest annually over a three-year period based upon the anniversary date of the
directors election subject to continued service as a director. As of June 30, 2007, restricted shares totaled 12,248 with a weighted average fair value of $27.90 per share. A total of 4,425 restricted shares were issued and restrictions
were released on 5,901 shares during the first six months of 2007.

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 four 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 described. The activity during the first six months
of 2007 and the total options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2007 pursuant to the director option plan and previous director option plans are as follows:

The Company received cash or stock equivalent to the exercise price of $5.2 million during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2007, and a tax benefit of $735,000 was recognized related to these options. 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. The Company intends that the plan be an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986. Reserved for issuance under the ESPP is a total of 600,000 shares of unissued common stock. The exercise or purchase price is 85% of the lower of the closing price of the Companys 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 participants account and used to purchase shares from the Companys treasury stock at the same discounted price on the next purchase date. The Company has the option to purchase all, or any
portion of, the shares owned by such participant that, at the time of termination of employment, are subject to the restriction on transfer. 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, 2007, $108,000 remains unamortized related to shares issued during 2006 and 2007.

NOTE 14  INCOME
TAXES

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The Company was
not required to recognize any liability for unrecognized tax benefits or interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48 and is not aware of any significant changes that are reasonably
possible within the next twelve months. It is the Companys policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income taxes. Tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions include
2003 through 2006.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS 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, 2007
compared to December 31, 2006, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006. 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 quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains, and periodic filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and written or oral statements made by the Companys 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 AMCOREs management and on information currently available to such management. The use of the words believe, expect, anticipate, plan,
estimate, should, may, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; (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; and (XIX) zoning restrictions or other limitations
at the local level, which could prevent limited branches from transitioning to full-service facilities.

OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Quarter Results

AMCORE reported net income from
continuing operations of $10.6 million or $0.46 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $11.4 million or $0.46 per diluted share for the same period in 2006. This represents an $831,000 or 7% decrease in net
income from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period a year ago. Diluted earnings per share over the same period was flat as a result of lower average diluted shares outstanding year-over-year. AMCOREs
annualized return on average equity and on average assets from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007 was 10.99% and 0.81%, respectively, compared to 11.52% and 0.86% for the comparable period in 2006.

##### Table of Contents

The most significant factors affecting the second quarter of 2007 net income from continuing operations, compared to the
same period in 2006, were:

Net interest income  Decreased $602,000 primarily due to lower securities balances and increased funding costs
partially offset by increased loan volumes and yields. Net interest margin was 3.39% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 3.40% in the second quarter 2006.

Provision for loan losses Increased $2.0 million reflecting higher net charge-offs and non-performing loans.

Non-interest
income  Increased $2.0 million. The most significant increases were $831,000 in service charges on deposits and $1.1 million in other non-interest income from CRA-related funds.

Operating expenses  Increased $290,000 due to higher net occupancy expense and other operating expenses reduced by lower advertising and business
development and professional fees.

Income taxes  Decreased $56,000, due to lower earnings before tax. The effective tax rate was 31.1% in the
second quarter of 2007 compared to 29.8% in the same period of 2006, due to a lower proportion of tax-exempt earnings to total earnings before tax.

Year-to-Date Results

AMCORE reported net income from continuing operations of $18.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $21.9 million or $0.88 per diluted share for the same period in 2006. This represents a $3.1 million or 14% decline in net income from continuing operations year-over-year, and a nine percent decrease in diluted
earnings per share. AMCOREs annualized return on average equity and on average assets from continuing operations for the year-to-date period of 2007 was 9.65% and 0.72%, respectively, compared to 11.06% and 0.83% for the comparable period in
2006.

The most significant factors affecting 2007 year-to-date net income, compared to the same period in 2006, were:

Net interest income  Decreased $1.6 million primarily due to increased funding costs and lower average investment securities partially offset by increased
loan volumes and higher yields. Net interest margin was 3.38% in 2007 compared to 3.42% in 2006.

Provision for loan losses Increased $3.2
million as a result of higher net charge offs and non-performing loans.

Non-interest income  Increased $5.7 million. The most significant
increases were attributable to increased other non-interest income which includes the $2.3 million gain on the sale of Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights (OMSR) portfolio, $1.4 million of CRA-related fund income, a $1.6 million increase in service
charges on deposits, and $935,000 in bankcard fee income, reduced by lower net mortgage revenues.

Operating expenses Increased $4.9 million,
primarily due to higher net occupancy expense, personnel costs and other operating expenses reduced by lower advertising and business development and professional fees. Included in other operating expenses was $2.3 million of debt extinguishment
costs.

Income taxes  Decreased $940,000, due to lower earnings before tax. The effective tax rate was 30.3% in 2007 compared to 29.4% in 2006
due to a lower proportion of tax-exempt earnings to total earnings before tax.

Impact of inflation Apart from operating expenses, the
financial services industry is not directly affected by inflation, however, as the Federal Reserve Bank monitors economic trends and developments, it may change monetary policy in response to economic changes, which would have an influence on
interest rates. See discussion of Net Interest Income, changes due to rate, below.

KEY INITIATIVES AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Key Initiatives

Branch Expansion The Companys
banking operations (Bank) launched a branch expansion initiative during 2001 targeting the area generally bounded by Interstates 94 in the north, 294 and 94 in the east, 80 in the south and 90 and 39 in the west (the Branch
Expansion).

Since the inception of the Branch Expansion strategy in April 2001, 29 new branches, net of closed offices, have opened. New branches
that have been opened during the past 12 months have contributed $45.6 million in loans and $17.0 million in deposits. The Company anticipates opening two additional full-service branches in 2007. The focus in 2007 will be to lever and utilize the
capacity and staff in the current branches to generate profitable growth, not just volume, while holding operating costs stable. By the end of 2009, the Company expects to have two-thirds of its branches located in markets that the Company believes
exhibit strong growth characteristics.

To date, the Companys Board of Directors has authorized $120 million of capital expenditures for new
facilities in connection with the Companys Branch Expansion. As of June 30, 2007, $47 million of the $120 million capital authorization remained to be spent.

The Bank continues the expansion of its automated teller machine system (ATMs), which includes both owned and third party operated ATMs. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had 315 ATMs, 159 in Illinois and 156 in
Wisconsin, compared to 140 in Illinois and 145 in Wisconsin, or 285 overall, at June 30, 2006. These amounts include 125 ATMs located in Walgreen drug stores primarily throughout Wisconsin as part of a co-branding relationship. The placement of
additional ATMs is an important part of AMCOREs commitment to provide quality customer service as additional ATMs provide AMCORE customers with greater ease and convenience in completing banking transactions.

Quality Loan Growth  Improving credit quality and increasing loan balances continue as part of AMCOREs Quality Loan Growth initiative. This growth has
been concentrated in commercial real estate lending, which are easier loans to attract in the initial phases of a Branch Expansion, and provide a quicker turn to profitability for a new branch. Going forward, the Company expects greater emphasis on
commercial and industrial lending where there is a greater opportunity for an expanded relationship with the customer (such as deposits, treasury management and wealth management) and profitability. For the second quarter of 2007, average loans rose
$186 million to $4.0 billion, a 5% increase over the second quarter of 2006. Over the same period of time, total non-performing loans increased 30% or $8.7 million to $37.7 million and was comprised of an $6.1 million increase in non-accrual loans
and an increase of $2.6 million in loans ninety-days past due and still accruing.

Deposit Growth  Average bank-issued deposits remained
essentially flat at $3.5 billion in the second quarter of 2007, decreasing by 1% or $51 million, compared to the second quarter of 2006. The modest decrease reflects the Companys efforts to ensure that its deposit attraction strategies are
priced at competitive, but profitable, levels. As a result, some customers, including correspondent Banks, moved balances to other institutions. AMCORE continues to focus on transactional deposit growth, such as checking accounts, which helps lower
funding costs, as well as increasing the number of households served by the Company. Handling a customers checking account enables the Bank to cross-sell other products and increases the likelihood of retaining their business over time. The
Companys goal is to become the customers primary Bank, meeting all of their banking, mortgage and investment needs. On the commercial side, the Company also emphasizes its cash management products, including remote deposit capture, as it
focuses on its core niche of mid-size commercial customers.

AMCOREs focus is on competitive yet profitably priced Bank-issued deposit growth because
it provides a source of funding for the Branch Expansion and the Quality Loan Growth initiatives, and is also a means of reducing reliance on wholesale funding sources that may be at a higher cost. Customer attraction strategies are a
market-oriented, spread-based deposit sales strategy that focuses on pricing at competitive but profitable levels. During 2007, as part of the loan and deposit growth initiatives, the Companys incentive pay structure has been changed to base
incentives on profitability rather than volume.

Increasing Fee Income Increasing fee income, specifically from the Investment Management and
Trust segment (IMT) and Mortgage Banking segment, is an area of increased management attention. IMT migrated to an open

architecture sales platform allowing greater customer access to non-proprietary products. This included the transition of its Company-managed Vintage equity
funds into funds managed by Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated) and the sale of its asset management subsidiary, Investors Management Group, Ltd. (IMG), to West Bancorporation, Inc. (West Banc). With these transactions, AMCORE transitioned from
being a developer of proprietary investment products to being a provider that can offer its customers a wider array of investment product choices. The Company continues to rationalize its product mix and pricing structure. The results of IMG for
prior periods are reported as discontinued operations.

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company entered into a strategic arrangement with a national
mortgage services company to provide private-label loan processing and servicing support. As part of this arrangement, the Company sold the majority of its OMSR portfolio. The arrangement will offer 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 and costs associated with its
mortgage business. The transition to the new processing and servicing arrangement was completed during the second quarter of 2007.

Capital Efficiency
and Deployment  The Companys priorities with respect to effectively deploying capital include a more structured pricing discipline that targets profitable growth on both sides of the balance sheet, migration of the balance sheet away
from lower spread investments to higher spread loans and buying back its common shares.

On May 4, 2006, the Company announced that its Board of
Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (Repurchase Program) of up to three million common shares, or approximately 12% of diluted shares outstanding, over a twelve-month period. As of May 3, 2007, 2.08 million shares had been
repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program at an average price of $31.13 per share, including 468,000 shares repurchased during the second quarter of 2007 at an average price of $30.41 per share. The repurchased shares were recorded as treasury
shares.

On May 3, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors authorized the repurchase (Repurchase Program) of up to two million additional shares.
The authorization is for a twelve-month period and will be executed through open market or privately negotiated purchases. As of June 30, 2007, 200,000 shares had been repurchased pursuant to the new authorization at an average price of $30.25.

In the first quarter of 2007, AMCORE redeemed its $40 million, 9.35 percent coupon outstanding Trust Preferred securities at a cost of $2.3 million that
included both a call premium and unamortized issuance expenses (Extinguishment Loss). The redemption was funded with a new lower cost Trust Preferred issuance of $50 million at a rate of 6.45 percent. AMCORE will benefit from the lower interest rate
on the new issuance and expects to recover the termination costs over the next two years.

Other Significant Events

Following is a discussion of accounting standards that affected the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods and dates presented, along with
recently issued accounting standards that may impact future periods.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance. In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-5 Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin (TB)
No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance. The issue discusses whether an entity should consider the contractual ability to surrender all of the individual-life policies together when determining the amount that could be
realized. Under some insurance contracts, the policies provide a greater surrender value if all individual policies are surrendered at the same time rather than if the policies were surrendered over a period of time. The EITF determined that any
additional amounts included in the contractual terms should be considered when determining the realizable amounts. This issue was adopted in the first quarter of 2007 and did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

Income Tax Uncertainties. In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 that clarifies the accounting for uncertain



28

##### Table of Contents

tax positions recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This interpretation was adopted in the first quarter of 2007. The adoption of this interpretation had no impact on the
Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Servicing of Financial Assets. During the first quarter of 2007, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, which amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an entity to separately recognize servicing assets and servicing liabilities and to report these balances at fair value upon inception. After initial recognition at fair value, the
Company continues amortization and measurement of lower-of-cost or market. With the sale of the majority of the Companys Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights (OMSRs) during first quarter 2007, the adoption of this standard did not have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements.In September 2006, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), 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. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the standard, but
adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Split-Dollar Life
Insurance. In September 2006, the FASB ratified 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. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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 have been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. The standard is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first
fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption was permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157.
The Company has chosen not to early adopt. Adoption of this standard in 2008 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Regulatory Developments On May 31, 2006, AMCORE Bank, N.A. entered into a written agreement (the Formal Agreement) with the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Banks primary regulator. The agreement describes commitments made by the Bank and outlines a series of steps to address and strengthen the Banks regulatory consumer compliance program. The Bank has
continued to implement enhancements to its consumer compliance program to address the matters identified by the OCC. These enhancements are subject to review by the OCC to determine if they comply with the commitment made in the agreement or whether
additional steps are necessary.

On August 10, 2006, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the OCC. This order primarily imposes requirements on
the Bank to take certain actions to strengthen its compliance monitoring policies, procedures, training and overall program relating to the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) regulations. The Consent Order did not impose any fine or
civil money penalty on the Bank, but does make the Bank ineligible for certain expedited approvals. AMCORE has been working to strengthen and enhance its BSA/AML program to comply with the terms of

the Consent Order. The BSA/AML program enhancements are subject to review by the OCC to determine if they comply with the commitments under the Consent Order
or whether additional steps are necessary. In the event the OCC determines that the Bank has not complied with the terms of the Formal Agreement or the Consent Order, the Bank is subject to possible additional enforcement actions by the OCC.

EARNINGS REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

The following discussion compares the major components of net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the Companys largest source of revenue and represents the
difference, or spread, between interest and fee income earned on loans and deposits (earnings assets) and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest bearing liabilities). Fluctuations in interest rates as well as volume and
mix changes in earnings assets and interest bearing liabilities can materially affect 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 earning assets, the following discussion of net interest income is presented on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis. The FTE adjustment was calculated using AMCOREs statutory
federal income tax rate of 35%.

Overview - FTE adjusted interest income is as follows:

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2007 decreased $1.1 million or 2% from $42.4 million in the second
quarter of 2006 to $41.3 million. For the six-month period of 2007, net interest income totaled $82.3 million, a decrease of $2.6 million or 3% from $84.9 million in 2006.

Net interest margin, which is net interest income on an FTE basis divided by average earning assets was 3.39% in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of one basis point from 3.40% in the second quarter of 2006. For
the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the net interest margin decreased four basis points to 3.38% from 3.42%. The decline in margin for both periods was driven by higher funding costs, the result of increased short-term
interest rates and lengthening of liability maturities to better match the repricing characteristics of the Companys earning assets.

Interest income
for the second quarter increased $2.8 million from $84.6 million in 2006 to $87.4 million in 2007, an increase of three percent. The increase in interest income was caused by a 38 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets partially offset
by a $107 million decrease in average earning asset volume. For the year-to-date period 2007, interest income increased $8.1 million or five percent over the prior year period, as yields increased 47 basis points while average earning asset volumes
decreased $101 million.

The yield on average earning assets increased primarily due to 29 basis point and 41 basis point increases in loan yields for the
three and six month periods ending June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. While all loan categories reflected increased yields, the increase was largely attributable to the commercial real estate and

commercial loan categories. The increase in loan yields was partially offset by a decline in investment portfolio yields of 10 basis points and 12 basis
points for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. The decrease in average earning asset volume was driven by a $277 million decline in investment securities for the quarter and
a $288 million decline for the year-to-date period when compared to the prior year periods.

Total interest expense increased $3.9 million or nine percent
in the second quarter of 2007 over the prior year period due to a 45 basis point increase in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, primarily Bank issued deposits, partially reduced by a $100 million decrease in average interest bearing
liability volume. On a year-to-date basis, interest expense increased $10.6 million or 13% in 2007 over the same period in 2006 due to a 59 basis point increase in rates paid on interest bearing liabilities partially reduced by a $102 million
decrease in average interest bearing liability volumes. The increase in interest expense, for both the three and six-month periods, includes the cost of substituting debt for non-interest bearing equity as part of the Companys Repurchase
Programs.

See Tables 1 and 2 for details regarding interest income, interest expense and average balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities. Tables 3 and 4 analyze the changes attributable to the volume and rate components of net interest income.

Like most financial institutions,
AMCORE has an exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates. The Company continues to expect a more stable margin for the remainder of this year, based on improved discipline in its deposit pricing strategy and the mitigation
of the asset and liability mismatch undertaken during 2007. Some modest compression due to narrowing loan spreads and some remaining modest liability sensitivity may also continue. Among those factors that could cause net interest income and net
interest margin not to perform as anticipated by the Company include: greater and more frequent than anticipated changes in interest rates, including the impact of basis risk between various interest rate indices, changes in the shape of the yield
curve, the effect of prepayments or renegotiated rates, increased price competition on both deposits and loans, promotional pricing on deposits, changes in the mix of earning assets and the mix of liabilities, including greater than anticipated use
of wholesale sources to fund the Branch Expansion, and greater than expected loan delinquencies resulting in non-accrual status. Over a one-year horizon, AMCORE expects that its interest-rate risk will be greater during a period of declining
interest rates than it will be during a period of rising interest rates.

Provision for Loan Losses

Loans, the Companys largest income earning asset category, are periodically evaluated by management in order to establish an estimated allowance (Allowance) for
loan losses that is considered adequate to absorb 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, as
adjusted for other loss estimates that are based upon the size, quality, and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrowers ability to repay, and current economic and industry
conditions, among other things. 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. 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 Allowance is also subject to periodic examination by regulators whose review includes a
determination as to its adequacy to absorb probable losses.

The Provision was $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $2.0 million or
88% from $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher net charge-offs and higher non-performing loans. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2007 were $4.8 million or 48 basis points of average loans on an
annualized basis, compared to $2.4 million or 25 basis points during the same period in 2006.

##### Table of Contents

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2007, the Provision increased $3.2 million when compared to the first six months of 2006, also reflecting
higher net charge-offs and higher non-performing loans. Net charge-offs were $7.6 million, or 38 basis points of average loans on an annualized basis, for the six-month period ending June 30, 2007, compared to $4.4 million or 24 basis points
during the same period in 2006.

The increase in 2007 net charge-offs compared to 2006 for both the three and six-month periods was due mainly to the
partial write-off of one large commercial credit that was placed on non-accrual status during the second quarter of 2006.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income is comprised primarily of fee-based revenues from IMT, bank-related service charges on deposits and mortgage banking income.
Net security gains or losses, gains on loan sales, increases in cash surrender value (CSV) and death benefits on Bank and Company owned life insurance (COLI), brokerage commission income and bankcard fee income are also included in this category.

Overview Non-interest income, including net security gains, totaled $19.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $2.0 million
or 11% from $17.4 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase was attributable to a $1.1 million increase in other non-interest income, an $831,000 increase in service charges on deposits, a $447,000 increase in brokerage commission income,
and a $432,000 increase in bankcard fee income. These increases were partly offset by a decrease of $465,000 in net mortgage revenues and a decrease of $299,000 in IMT income.

On a year-to-date basis, non-interest income increased $5.7 million to $38.8 million in 2007 compared to $33.2 million in 2006. Increases included $3.5 million, $1.6 million and $935,000 in other non-interest income,
service charges on deposits, and bankcard fee income, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decline of $771,000 in net mortgage revenues.

Investment management and trust income - IMT income includes trust services, investment management, estate administration, financial planning, and employee benefit plan recordkeeping and administration services. IMT income totaled
$3.7 million in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of $299,000 or 8% from $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. The decrease for the quarter was primarily due to a non-recurring charge that decreased employee benefit administration fees
and was partially offset by increases in personal trust and estate administration fees. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, IMT income increased $116,000 from $7.6 million in 2006 to $7.8 million. This segment of the Company continues
to rationalize its product mix and pricing structure.

As of June 30, 2007, total assets under administration were $2.8 billion, compared to $2.7
billion at December 31, 2006 and $2.5 billion at June 30, 2006.

Service charges on deposits - Service charges on deposits, currently the
Companys largest source of non-interest income, totaled $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, an $831,000 or 13% increase over the $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2006. For the first six months of 2007, service charges on deposits
were $13.8 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 13% over the $12.2 million in the prior year period. Service charges on consumer deposit accounts were the primary driver of the increases for both the quarter and year-to-date periods and were
affected by continued enhancements to the Companys fee structure and waiver policies on both retail and commercial deposits. While this pace of growth is not expected to continue, the current level of revenue is likely sustainable over time.

Mortgage banking income  Mortgage banking income includes fees generated from the underwriting, originating and limited servicing of mortgage
loans along with fees realized from the sale of these loans, net of origination costs, servicing rights amortization and impairment.

Net mortgage revenues
were $596,000 in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of $465,000 from the second quarter of 2006. Mortgage loan closings were $87 million during the second quarter of 2007 compared to $120 million in the prior year period. For the first six
months of 2007, mortgage banking income was $1.5 million on closings of $162 million, compared to $2.3 million on closings of $200 million for the first six months of 2006, for a decrease of $771,000.

##### Table of Contents

The decline in net mortgage revenues for both periods was primarily due to a decline in servicing revenues due to the
first quarter sale of the OMSR portfolio and slower sales volume as the origination staff transitioned to the new sales platform. A $2.4 million gain on the sale, net of transaction costs, was recorded in other non-interest income in the first
quarter of 2007.

The transition to the new mortgage arrangement was completed in the second quarter, and as a result, the Company will generate limited
fee income in connection with the servicing of mortgage loans by the Company. The cost of servicing mortgage loans, a component of operating expense, has also been substantially eliminated after the transition. This change eliminates the volatility
associated with the potential impairment of the value of the servicing rights as the interest rate environment continues to shift over time. The arrangement allows AMCORE to offer a greater breadth of products, more competitive pricing and is
expected to better position the Company for future loan origination growth. Additionally, the cost structure in AMCOREs mortgage business will become almost entirely variable in nature, allowing the Company to better absorb fluctuation in
mortgage volumes. These include the costs of originating loans that are netted against mortgage revenues or interest income as well as processing and servicing costs of loans retained in the Banks portfolio and that are a component of
operating expenses.

As of June 30, 2007, the carrying value of AMCOREs capitalized OMSRs was $1.2 million, with no impairment valuation
allowance. This includes servicing rights originated after the OMSR sale and during the transition period. It is anticipated that most, if not all of the remaining OMSRs will be sold during the third quarter. The June 30, 2007 $1.2 million
carrying value compares to $14.3 million at December 31, 2006, and $13.9 million at June 30, 2006, both with no impairment valuation allowance. The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $110 million as of
June 30, 2007, compared to $1.5 billion as of December 31, 2006 and $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2006. The net carrying value of the Companys capitalized mortgage servicing rights, as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance
of mortgage loans serviced for others, was 1.07%, 0.97%, and 0.98% as of June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively.

COLI income  COLI income totaled $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2007, a $98,000 increase from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2006. Year-to-date in 2007, COLI income increased $123,000 or 6% to $2.2 million from
$2.1 million in the prior year period. 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, 2007, the CSV of COLI was $137 million, compared to $135 million at both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006.

Bankcard fee
income - Bankcard fee income totaled $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2007, a $432,000 or 29% increase over $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2006. On a year-to-date basis, bankcard fee income totaled $3.8 million in 2007 compared to
$2.9 million in 2006, an increase of $935,000. A larger cardholder base, a benefit of both the Branch Expansion and Deposit Growth initiatives, greater card utilization and an expanded ATM network contributed to the increase in bankcard fee income.

Other non-interest income  Brokerage commission income, customer service fees, gain on sale of loans, net security gains and other
non-interest income totaled $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2007, a $1.4 million or 44% increase from the $3.2 million in second quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to CRA-related fund income and increased brokerage
commissions. The combined totals for the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $9.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively, an increase of $3.7 million or 60%. The increase was primarily related to the $2.3 million gain on sale
of the mortgage servicing portfolio, the CRA-related fund income and increased brokerage commissions.

Operating Expenses

Overview Total operating expense was $40.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $290,000 or 1%, from $40.3 million in the second quarter of
2006. The increase for the quarter is due to higher other operating expense and net occupancy and equipment expenses partially offset by lower advertising and business development expense, professional fees and personnel costs.

##### Table of Contents

For the first six months of 2007, operating expense was $85.5 million, an increase of $4.9 million or 6%, from $80.6
million in the same period in 2006. The increases in the year-to-date period are primarily due to higher other operating expense, net occupancy and equipment expenses and personnel costs, which were partially offset by lower advertising and business
development and professional fees.

The efficiency ratio was 67.39% in the second quarter of 2007, compared to 68.48% for the same period in 2006. On a
year-to-date basis, the efficiency ratio was 71.31% and 69.58% in 2007 and 2006, 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.

Personnel expense - Personnel expense, which includes compensation expense and employee benefits and is the largest component of operating
expenses, was $24.0 million in the second quarter of 2007, a decrease of $317,000 or 1% from $24.3 million in the second quarter of 2006. Lower incentive and stock-based compensation expenses were partially offset by higher group medical expense.
Sales incentive compensation plans were changed in 2007 to a profitability measurement versus volume as was done in the past.

For the six month periods
ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, personnel expense totaled $50.5 million and $49.4 million, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million or 2%. The increase for the year-to-date period includes the first quarter separation costs of a senior
executive, severance costs associated with job eliminations in connection with the change in the mortgage business and the close out of a legacy supplemental retirement plan for two directors.

Facilities expense - Facilities expense, which includes net occupancy expense and equipment expense, was a combined $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 and
$4.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, an increase of $960,000 or 20%. The increase was due to higher rental expenses and real estate taxes. On a year-to-date basis, facilities expense totaled $12.2 million in 2007 compared to $9.8 million in
2006, an increase of $2.4 million or 24%. The year-to-date increase was also due to higher lease costs associated with the Branch Expansion, utility rate increases and increased snow removal costs.

Professional fees  Professional fees, which include legal, consulting, auditing and external portfolio management fees, totaled $1.9 million in the second
quarter of 2007 compared to $2.7 million in the same period a year ago, a decrease of $751,000 or 28%. On a year-to-date basis, professional fees declined $527,000 or 12% to $3.8 million compared to $4.4 million in 2006. The decline for both the
quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily attributable to lower costs for external assistance with regulatory compliance matters. It is anticipated that these expenses will increase over the remainder of 2007 based on current enhancements being
implemented in AMCOREs compliance programs.

Other operating expenseOther operating expenses includes data processing
expense, communication expense, advertising and business development expenses and other costs, and were a combined $8.8 million and $8.4 million in second quarter 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six month periods ending June 30, 2007 and
2006, other operating expenses were $19.1 million and $17.1 million, respectively, an increase of $2.0 million due to $2.3 million of debt extinguishment costs.

Income taxes  Income tax expense was $4.8 million in both the second quarters of 2007 and 2006. Income taxes were essentially flat despite a decline in pre-tax earnings as a result of a decline in tax-exempt earnings. For the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007, income tax expense totaled $8.2 million, a $940,000 decrease from the $9.1 million in the same period of 2006. The decrease was primarily due to lower income before taxes, but was partly offset by a lower
mix of tax-exempt earnings.

The effective tax rates were 31.1% and 29.8% in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were 30.3% and 29.4%
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Effective tax rates are lower than the statutory tax rates due primarily to investments in tax-exempt municipal bonds and increases in CSV and death benefits on COLI that are not
taxable.

Discontinued Operations

As a result of the Federated and West Banc transactions (see Key InitiativesIncreasing Fee Income discussion), the results of IMG for the prior period are reflected as discontinued operations. For the three and six month periods of
2006, the net loss from discontinued operations was $11,000 and $80,000, respectively. There was no activity in 2007.

EARNINGS REVIEW BY BUSINESS
SEGMENT

AMCOREs 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 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presents a condensed income statement and total assets for each Segment.

The financial information presented was derived from the Companys 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 assets and funding credits on liabilities. Apart from these adjustments, the accounting policies used are similar to those described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Since there are no comprehensive authorities for
management accounting equivalent to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, 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.

During 2007, the Company changed its method for measuring fund transfer adjustments to include non-earning assets, liabilities, and equity, in addition to funds transfer
adjustments for loans made and deposits generated. The effect of this change for the second quarter of 2007 was to increase net interest income of the Commercial Banking and Retail Banking Segments by $1.3 million and $498,000, respectively. For the
year-to-date period, Commercial Banking and Retail Banking Segments were increased by $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, while the Mortgage Banking Segment declined by $33,000. Also during 2007, ATM related income and expenses previously
included in the Other category were included in the Retail Banking segment consistent with internal management reporting. For the prior year periods, ATM activity has been reclassified to reflect this change.

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. 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 11 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 Banks full service branch
and LBO locations. The services provided by this Segment include lending, business checking and deposits, treasury management and other traditional as well as electronic commerce services.

Overview - Commercial represented 60% and 68% of total Segment earnings in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, Commercial represented 59% and 72%, respectively, of total Segment earnings. Commercial total assets were $3.2 billion at June 30, 2007 and represented 61% of total consolidated assets. This compares
to $3.1 billion and 56%, respectively, at June 30, 2006.

##### Table of Contents

Commercial earnings for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 were $7.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively, a decrease
of $200,000 or 3%. Year-to-date earnings in 2007 were $15.5 million, compared to $15.8 million in the same period in 2006, a decrease of $295,000 or 2%. Higher Provision and non-interest expenses partially offset by higher net interest income were
the primary reasons for the decreases for both the quarter and year-to-date periods.

Net interest income increased $2.7 million and $5.5 million for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. Both periods experienced increased interest income reduced by higher interest expense adjusted for net cost of fund allocations. The increase
in interest income was attributable to higher average commercial real estate loan volumes and increased yields net of higher interest expense. The increase in interest expense, as adjusted for net cost of fund allocations, was primarily due to the
increased funding needs associated with the loan growth combined with higher interest rates.

The Provision increased $1.9 million in the second quarter of
2007 from $1.3 million for the same period of 2006, and increased $2.9 million for the year-over-year periods. The increase in the quarter and year-to-date Provision was primarily due to higher net charge-offs and non-performing loans.

Non-interest expense increased $754,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 and increased $3.0 million on a year-to-date basis. The
increase for the quarter was largely due to higher net occupancy expense and higher corporate support allocations. In addition to these items, the year-to-date increase was also due to higher personnel costs and higher loan processing and collection
expenses.

Income taxes decreased $128,000 and $189,000 for the three and six month periods of 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006 due
to lower pre-tax earnings.

Retail Banking

The Retail
Banking Segment (Retail) provides retail-banking services to individual customers through the Banks branch locations in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. The services provided by this Segment include direct and indirect lending,
checking, savings, money market and CD accounts, safe deposit rental, ATMs, and other traditional and electronic commerce services.

Overview -
Retail represented 38% and 30% of total Segment earnings in the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, Retail represented 33% and 26%, respectively, of total Segment earnings.
Retail total assets were $687 million at June 30, 2007 and represented 13% of total consolidated assets. This compares to $649 million and 12% at June 30, 2006.

Retail earnings for the second quarter of 2007 were $4.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million or 45% from the second quarter of 2006. Year-to-date earnings in 2007 were $8.7 million, compared to $5.7 million in the
same period in 2006, an increase of $3.0 million or 51%. The increase for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due to higher non-interest income and net interest income partly offset by higher non-interest expense and income taxes.

Net interest income increased by $1.6 million and $3.1 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006 as a
result of increased funding credits on deposits generated due to Deposit Growth and higher interest income. These were partially offset by higher interest expense due to increasing short-term interest rates.

Non-interest income increased by $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period a year ago and increased $3.3 million for the year-to-date
period, both the result of increased deposit service charges due to continued enhancements to the Companys fee structure and waiver policies.

Non-interest expense increased $610,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006. On a year-to-date basis, the increase was $1.1 million. The increases were largely due to increased net occupancy expense and
increased corporate support allocations.

##### Table of Contents

Income taxes increased $982,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 and year-to-date 2007
income tax expense was $1.9 million higher than the prior year period, both due to increased pre-tax earnings.

Investment Management and Trust

The Investment Management and Trust Segment (IMT) provides wealth management services, which include trust services, investment management, estate
administration, financial planning, employee benefit, plan recordkeeping and administration and brokerage services.

Overview - IMT represented -1%
and 2% of total Segment earnings in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 2% for the year-to-date periods of both 2007 and 2006. IMT total assets were $13 million at June 30, 2007 and were $14 million at June 30, 2006,
both less than 1% of total consolidated assets.

IMT reported a loss from continuing operations of $125,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to
earnings of $296,000 in the prior year period, a decline of $421,000. On a year-to-date basis, income from continuing operations increased $88,000 from the prior year period.

For the quarter, a decline in IMT income was more than offset by increased brokerage commission income. The decrease in IMT income was primarily due to a non-recurring charge that decreased employee benefit
administration fees. For the year-to-date periods, both IMT income and brokerage commission income increased.

The increase in non-interest expenses for
the quarter was due to higher personnel costs, professional fees and other operating expenses. For the year to-date period, increased expenses resulted from higher other operating expenses and professional fees.

Income taxes declined for the quarter due to lower earnings on continuing operations before taxes and increased for the year-to-date period due to higher earnings before
taxes.

The loss from discontinued operations in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2006 of $11,000 and $80,000, respectively, included
additional expenses incurred related to the sale of IMG.

Mortgage Banking

The Mortgage Banking Segment (Mortgage) provides a variety of mortgage lending products to meet its customers needs. It sells a majority of the loans it originates to a third-party mortgage services company,
which provides private-label loan processing and servicing support on both the loans sold and retained.

Overview - Mortgage represented 3% and less
than 1% of total Segment earnings in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 6% and less than 1% for the 2007 and 2006 year-to-date periods. Mortgage total assets were $291 million at June 30, 2007 and represented 5% of total
consolidated assets. This compares to $289 million and 5% at June 30, 2006.

Mortgage earnings for the second quarter of 2007 of $341,000 were an
increase of $392,000 over the second quarter 2006 loss of $51,000. For the first six months of 2007, Mortgage earnings were $1.6 million compared to a loss of $94,000 in the same period of 2006. The 2007 year-to-date results included a $2.3 million
gain on the sale of the OMSR portfolio. Otherwise, the improved earnings for both the three and six-months periods were primarily due to lower non-interest expense net of increase income taxes.

The declines in non-interest expense for both the quarter and year-to-date periods were due to lower personnel costs and lower loan processing and collection expenses.
On a year-to-date basis, the decrease in personnel costs was net of severance costs associated with job eliminations in connection with the transition to the third party processor and servicer.

Income taxes increased $249,000 in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 and year-to-date 2007 income tax expense was $1.1 million higher than
the prior year period, both due to increased pre-tax earnings.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Total assets were $5.3 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $10 million from December 31, 2006. Total liabilities increased $30 million over the same period and stockholders equity decreased $20
million. The following discusses changes in the major components of the Consolidated Balance Sheet since December 31, 2006.

Cash and Cash
Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents decreased $19 million from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007, as the cash used for investing activities of $25.7 million and the cash used for financing activities of $1.2 million exceeded the
cash provided by operating activities of $7.9 million.

Securities Available for Sale - Total securities available for sale as of June 30, 2007
were $835 million, a decrease of $64 million or 7% from December 31, 2006. At June 30, 2007, the total securities available for sale portfolio comprised 17% 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. By not reinvesting
cash flows from maturities and prepayments of investment securities, the Company is migrating its balance sheet to a lower proportion of investment securities.

Mortgage and asset backed securities, as of June 30, 2007, totaled $681 million and represented 82% of total available for sale securities. The distribution of mortgage and asset backed securities includes $317 million of U.S.
government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) mortgage-backed pass through securities, $354 million of GSE collateralized mortgage obligations and $10 million of private issue collateral mortgage obligations, all of which are rated Aaa.

The $835 million of total securities available for sale includes gross unrealized gains of $784,000 and gross unrealized losses of $23 million. Unrealized gains and
unrealized losses represent the difference between a securitys fair value and cost. 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 most standard securities will decrease. Conversely, when rates decline the
value of most standard securities 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 Companys 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), government-sponsored enterprises (such as the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation), state and political obligations, and mortgage-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 Companys gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses, net of tax, is included as accumulated OCI in stockholders equity, as
none of the securities with gross unrealized losses are considered other than temporarily impaired. The Company has the ability to hold and has no intent to dispose of the related securities until maturity or upon the fair value exceeding cost. 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, 2006, gross unrealized gains of $2 million and gross unrealized losses of $19 million were included in the securities
available for sale portfolio. For further analysis of the securities available for sale portfolio, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans Held for Sale - At both June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, mortgage origination fundings awaiting sale were $14 million. Residential mortgage loans have been originated by the Mortgage Banking Segment of which,
historically, non-conforming adjustable rate, fixed-rate and balloon residential mortgages have normally 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. The Bank completed an
arrangement with a third party mortgage loan processor and servicer to which the majority of these loans are now being sold for a fee net of origination costs. Loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market value.

Loans - Loans represent the largest component of AMCOREs earning asset base. At June 30, 2007, total loans were $4.0 billion, an increase of $83
million from December 31, 2006, and represented 80% of total earning assets, including COLI. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total commercial real estate loans, including real estate construction loans, increased $72 million or 6% annualized; commercial, financial and agricultural loans increased by $16 million and consumer loans increased by $10 million.
Residential real estate loans declined $14 million.

Company Owned Life Insurance (COLI) - Total COLI at June 30, 2007 was $137 million, or 3%
of total earning assets, including COLI. This was an increase of $2.2 million in CSV from December 31, 2006

Goodwill Total goodwill at
June 30, 2007 was $6.1 million, unchanged from December 31, 2006.

Deposits - Total deposits at June 30, 2007 were $4.1 billion, a
decrease of $200 million when compared to December 31, 2006, due to a decrease of $141 million in wholesale deposits and $59 million in Bank-issued deposits. Bank-issued deposits represented 84% and 82% of total deposits at June 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Borrowings - Borrowings totaled $718 million at June 30, 2007 and were comprised of $301 million of
short-term and $417 million of long-term borrowings. Comparable amounts at December 31, 2006 were $137 million and $342 million, respectively. This represented a combined increase in borrowings of $239 million. The increase replaced the $200
million deposit decline and, along with the decline in the investment portfolio, funded loan growth. Short-term borrowings increased $164 million while long-term borrowings increased $75 million. The increase in short-term borrowings was partially
due to a reclassification of FHLB borrowings from long-term as they neared maturity in addition to increases in Federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements. The increase in long-term borrowings reflect the replacement of the borrowings that
were reclassified to short-term, as well as further increases in FHLB borrowings and a $10 million increase in Trust Preferred securities, to better match the repricing characteristics of funded assets. The $10 million increase in trust-preferred
securities is the amount that the new issuance exceeded the redemption of the previous issuance. See Notes 6 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

AMCORE had $40 million of Trust Preferred securities outstanding through AMCORE Capital Trust I (Capital Trust). In the first quarter of 2007, the $40 million of 9.35% coupon preferred securities became callable.
AMCORE exercised the call provision for these securities during the first quarter of 2007 replacing them with $50 million of 6.45% coupon trust preferred securities (Capital Trust II).

Stockholders Equity - Total stockholders equity at June 30, 2007 was $380 million, a decrease of $20 million or 5% from December 31, 2006. The decrease in stockholders equity was due
to a $28 million increase in treasury stock due to the Repurchase Programs. A decline of $3 million in OCI relates to higher net unrealized losses on the investment securities available for sale portfolio. These changes in total stockholders equity
were partly offset by an increase of $10 million in retained earnings. See discussion below under Liquidity and Capital Management  Other uses of liquidity.

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

##### Table of Contents

including management of the Companys interest rate risk, liquidity and credit concentration risks, optimization of capital utilization, meeting the
financial needs of its customers and fulfilling Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) obligations in the markets that it serves.

Auto loan sales -
Structured as sales pursuant to SFAS 140 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, the Auto Loan Sales are a component of the Companys liquidity and credit concentration risk
management strategy. The Auto Loan Sales are also helpful as a capital management tool.

In the Auto Loan Sales, indirect automobile loan receivables are
transferred to a multi-seller variable-interest entity (VIE). Since the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, consolidation is not required under the terms of Financial Interpretation No. (FIN) 46R, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities. As a result, the net carrying amount of the loans is removed from the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets and certain retained residual interests are recorded. The Companys retained residual interests are
subordinate to the interests of investors in the VIE and are subject to prepayment risk, interest-rate risk and credit risk on the transferred auto loans. The Companys risk of loss attributable to credit and prepayment is limited to its
interest in the retained residual interests. Neither the investors nor the securitization trust have any further recourse to the Companys other assets. Interest rate risk could exceed the Companys interest in the retained residual
interests, but such a possibility is not considered probable as of June 30, 2007. The Company also retains the rights to service the loans that are sold.

As of June 30, 2007, the balance of automobile loans serviced and not included on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets was $36 million compared to $55 million at December 31, 2006. The carrying value of retained
interests was $5 million at both June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mortgage
loan sales - During the first quarter of 2007, the Company sold the majority of its OMSR portfolio and entered into a strategic arrangement with a national mortgage services company to provide private-label loan processing and servicing support.
The transition to the new processing and servicing arrangement was completed during the second quarter. As of June 30, 2007, the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $110 million compared to $1.5 billion at
December 31, 2006. It is anticipated that most, if not all of the remaining OMSRs will be sold during the third quarter. See Key Initiatives and Other Significant Events. 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 Interest Rate Derivatives), mortgage loan commitments and forward contracts. As of June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, 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 $170 million and $172 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, Interest Rate Derivatives had a net negative carrying and
fair value of $238,000, compared to a net negative carrying and fair value of $1.2 million at December 31, 2006. The total notional amount of forward contracts outstanding for mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market was $32 million
and $25 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The carrying value of mortgage loan commitments recorded as a liability totaled $37,000 at June 30, 2007 compared to an asset of $78,000 at December 31,
2006. As of June 30, 2007, the forward contracts had a net positive carrying and fair value of $95,000, compared to a net negative carrying and fair value of $59,000 at December 31, 2006. For further discussion of derivative contracts, see
Notes 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

##### Table of Contents

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. Performance and standby letters of credit are issued by the Bank to third parties at the request of the Bank customers. While these represent a potential outlay by the Company, a significant amount
of the commitments 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, 2007, and December 31, 2006, liabilities in the amount of $150,000 and $149,000, respectively, representing the value of the obligations associated
with certain of the financial and standby letters of credit, have been recorded in accordance with FIN 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 45, was $223 million and $234 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. See Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The carrying value of mortgage loan commitments recorded as a liability totaled $37,000 at June 30, 2007 compared to an asset of $78,000 at December 31, 2006.
These amounts represent the fair value of those commitments marked-to-market in accordance with SFAS No. 138 and in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105. The total notional amount of mortgage loan commitments was $26 million
at June 30, 2007 and $16 million at December 31, 2006. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

At June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, the Company had extended $1.2 billion and $947 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 $968,000 has been recorded for estimated probable losses on unfunded commitments outstanding at June 30, 2007 compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2006.

Equity investments - The Company has a number of non-marketable 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, 2007 and December 31, 2006, these investments included $4 million, in CRArelated fund investments. Not
included in the carrying amount were commitments to fund an additional $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, at some future date. At June 30, 2007, the Company also has recorded investments of $4 million, $20 million, and $69,000
respectively, in stock of the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. At December 31, 2006, 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 $790,000 and $733,000 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Losses are limited to the remaining
investment and there are no additional funding commitments on the AHTCPs or CRA-related investments 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.

Other investments - The Company also holds $2 million in a common security investment in Capital Trust II, to which the Company has $52 million in long-term debt outstanding. Capital Trust II, 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 in 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.

Fiduciary and agency - The Companys 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 at June 30, 2007 were $2.82 billion and at December 31, 2006 were $2.65 billion.

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. During the first six months of
2007, the Company entered into two operating lease agreements. There are no residual value guarantees on these leases and no lease termination penalties or acceleration clauses. A purchase contract in the amount of $1.6 million for a land purchase
was entered into during second quarter 2006 and is scheduled to close in 2007. Also during the first quarter of 2007, the Company entered into a strategic arrangement with a national mortgage services company to provide private-label loan processing
and servicing support. There are no minimum payment requirements, but there are penalties in the event of early termination of the agreement. 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 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than these transactions, there were no material
changes in the Companys contractual obligations since the end of 2006. Amounts as of December 31, 2006 are listed in the following table:

ASSET QUALITY REVIEW AND CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

AMCOREs credit risk is centered in its loan portfolio, which totaled $4.0 billion, or
80% of earning assets, including COLI on June 30, 2007. The objective in managing loan portfolio risk is to quantify and manage credit risk on a portfolio basis as well as reduce the risk of a loss resulting from a customers 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 credit risk with respect to its $137 million investment in COLI. AMCORE manages this risk by diversifying its holdings among various
carriers and by periodic internal credit reviews. All carriers have Secure ratings from A. M. Best that range from a low of A (Excellent) to A++ (Superior).

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 probable losses. 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 loans, statistical loss estimates for loan groups or pools that are based on historical loss experience, and loss estimates that are based upon the size, quality and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse
situations that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, and current economic and industry conditions.

##### Table of Contents

The determination by management of the appropriate level of the Allowance amounted to $40.7 million at June 30,
2007, compared to $40.9 million at December 31, 2006. Decreases of $3.3 million for specific loss estimates on certain loans that are individually reviewed for impairment and $1.5 million in statistical loss estimates on loan pools based upon
historical loss experience were offset by an increase of $4.6 million in other loss estimates. Other loss estimates are based upon the size, quality and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may
affect the borrowers ability to repay, and current economic and industry conditions.

At June 30, 2007, the Allowance as a percent of total
loans and of non-accrual loans was 1.01% and 133%, respectively. These compare to the same ratios at December 31, 2006 of 1.04% and 136%. Net charge-offs were $7.6 million for the first six months of 2007, an increase of $3.2 million from $4.4
million for the same period in 2006. This was 0.38% and 0.24% of annualized average loans for the year-to-date periods of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Increases in year-to-date 2007 net charge offs compared to the prior year period included
commercial real estate loan net charge-offs of $2.2 million, consumer/installment net charge-offs of $602,000, and commercial net charge-offs of $368,000.

Non-performing Assets - Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets. Non-performing assets totaled $41.4 million as of
June 30, 2007, an increase of $7.5 million or 22% from $33.9 million at December 31, 2006. The increase since December 31, 2006 consisted of a $5.3 million increase in non-performing loans and a $2.2 million increase in foreclosed
assets. The increase in non-performing loans consisted of a $4.7 million increase in loans 90 days past due and a $635,000 increase in non-accrual loans. Total non-performing assets represented 0.78% and 0.64% of total assets at June 30, 2007
and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Non-accrual loan totals include a $7.8 million commercial real estate credit that was originally added to
non-accrual loans and assigned a specific loss estimate during the second quarter of 2006 was partially charged off by $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2007. The credit is in the process of workout with a sales agreement for the real-estate
component of the relationship, which is expected to be consummated in the third quarter. The Company has a remaining assigned specific allocation of $1.4 million to reflect an estimated impairment loss on the relationship as of June 30, 2007.
While the Company strives to reflect all known risk factors in its evaluation, the ultimate loss could differ materially from the remaining loss allocation. See Item 7, Managements Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition And
Results Of Operation, Critical Accounting Estimates, included in the Companys Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2006, for a discussion of the judgments and assumptions that are most critical in
determining the adequacy of the Allowance.

In addition to the amount of non-accruing and delinquent loans over 90 days past due, management is aware that
other possible credit problems of borrowers may exist. Credits are considered substandard assets due to either less than satisfactory performance history, lack of borrowers sound worth or paying capacity, or inadequate collateral. Loans
classified as substandard are monitored accordingly. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there were $5.1 million and $460,000, respectively, in this risk category that were 60 to 89 days delinquent and $4.9 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, that were 30 to 59 days past due. In addition, as of December 31, 2006, there were $684,000 of loans that were current, but had loss allocations $139,000. As of June 30, 2007, there were no loss allocations assigned to loans
that were current.

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 $814 million at June 30, 2007, and comprised 20% of gross loans, of which 0.66% were non-performing. Annualized net charge-offs of commercial loans during the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were 0.42% and 0.32%,
respectively, of the average balance of the category. There were no loan concentrations within this category in excess of 10% of total loans.

Commercial
real estate and construction loans were $2.4 billion at June 30, 2007, comprising 60% of gross loans, of which 1.14% were classified as non-performing. Annualized net charge-offs of commercial real estate and construction loans during the first
six months of 2007 and 2006 were 0.34% and 0.17%, respectively, of the average balance of the

category. This category included $628 million of loans to nonresidential building operators and $442 million of loans to building contractors, which were 16%
and 11% of total loans, respectively. There were no other loan concentrations within this category that exceeded 10% of total loans.

Residential real
estate loans, which include home equity and permanent residential financing, totaled $479 million at June 30, 2007, and represented 12% of gross loans, of which 0.83% were non-performing. Annualized net charge-offs of residential real estate in
the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were 0.09% and 0.10%, respectively, of the average balance in this category.

Installment and consumer loans were
$317 million at June 30, 2007, and comprised 8% of gross loans, of which 0.23% were non-performing. Annualized net charge-offs of consumer loans in the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were 1.11% and 0.71%, 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 $247 million at June 30, 2007. 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 $1.6 billion of interest only loans, of which $1.0 billion are included in the construction and commercial real estate loan category and $433 million are included in the
commercial, financial, and agricultural loan category. In general, these loans are well-secured with an average maturity of less than two years. The Company does not have significant concentrations of negative amortization loans, 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 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, FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, the sale or securitization of loans, balances maintained at correspondent banks and access to other capital
markets. 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
CDs 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, Repurchase Programs, payment of operating expenses, funding capital expenditures
and maintaining deposit reserve requirements.

During the first six months of 2007, wholesale funding, which includes borrowings and brokered deposits,
increased $98 million. Wholesale funding represented 26% of total assets as of June 30, 2007 compared to 24% at December 31, 2006. The Company remains confident of its ability to meet and manage its short and long-term liquidity needs.

Investment securities portfolio  Scheduled maturities of the Companys investment securities portfolio and the prepayment of mortgage
and asset backed securities represent a significant source of liquidity. Approximately $8 million, or 1%, of the securities portfolio will contractually mature during the remainder of 2007. 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.

##### Table of Contents

Loans - Funding of loans is the most significant liquidity need, representing 76% of total assets as of
June 30, 2007. Since December 31, 2006, loans increased $83 million. Loans held for sale, which represents mortgage origination fundings awaiting sale, increased $32,000 since December 31, 2006. The scheduled repayments and maturities
of loans represent a substantial source of liquidity. Loan growth from same-store and Branch Expansion continue to be the greatest liquidity need of the Company.

Bank-issued deposits  Bank-issued deposits typically are the most cost-effective and reliable source of liquidity for the Company. Since December 31, 2006, bank-issued deposits decreased $59 million. The decline was partly
due to seasonal factors and partly due to a run-off of lower spread CDs.

Branch expansion - The Companys Branch Expansion strategy poses the
greatest challenge to short and long-term liquidity. The Branch Expansion has required, and will continue to require, other sources of liquidity to fund the expected loan growth net of expected deposit growth and the remaining $47 million authorized
capital investment. Since inception, the Branch Expansion has required the funding of $1.91 billion in loans while generating $765 million in deposits.

Parent company In addition to the overall liquidity needs of the consolidated 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 through the Bank in the form of dividends, as well as capital market sources such as Trust Preferred securities. In the first six months of 2007, dividends from subsidiaries amounted to $28 million, compared to $20
million in the same period a year ago.

Other sources of liquidity - As of June 30, 2007, other sources of readily available liquidity totaled
$899 million and included $271 million of Fed Funds lines, unused collateral sufficient to support $380 million in Federal Reserve Bank discount window advances, $244 million of unpledged debt investment securities, and $4 million of FHLB advances.
The Company also has capacity, over time, to place sufficient amounts of brokered CDs as a source of mid- to long-term liquidity. The Banks indirect auto portfolio, which at June 30, 2007 was $247 million, is a potential source of
liquidity through loan sales or securitizations.

Other uses of liquidity At June 30, 2007, other potential uses of liquidity totaled
$1.4 billion and included $1.2 billion in commitments to extend credit, $26 million in residential mortgage commitments primarily held for sale, and $223 million in letters of credit. At December 31, 2006, these amounts also totaled $1.2
billion.

Capital Management

Total stockholders
equity at June 30, 2007, was $380 million, a decrease of $20 million or 5% from December 31, 2006. The decrease in stockholders equity was primarily due to a $28 million increase in treasury stock and a $3 million decline in OCI
partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of $10 million.

AMCORE paid $9 million of cash dividends during the first six months of 2007, which
represent $0.37 per share, or a dividend payout ratio of 46%. This compares to $0.37 per share paid during the first six months of 2006, which represent a payout ratio of 42%. The book value per share increased $0.52 per share to $16.58 at
June 30, 2007, up from $16.06 at June 30, 2006.

In addition to the recently announced Repurchase Program, the Company does repurchase shares in
open-market and private transactions in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 10b-18. These repurchases are used to replenish the Companys treasury stock for re-issuances related to stock options and other employee benefit plans. Also repurchased
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 2007, the Company purchased 1.1 million shares in open market and private
transactions at an average price of $31.36 per share.

AMCORE has outstanding $52 million of capital securities through Capital Trust II. Of the $52 million, $50 million
qualifies as Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes, which is the $52 million reduced by the $2 million of common equity securities owned by the Company. Pursuant to regulations issued by the Federal Reserve Board, the capital securities are
expected to continue to qualify as Tier 1 Capital.

As the following table indicates, AMCOREs total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage
ratio all significantly exceed the regulatory minimums, as of June 30, 2007. The Bank, whose ratios are not presented below, is considered a well-capitalized institution based on regulatory guidelines.

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.

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.

|ITEM 3. | 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 AMCOREs 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 AMCOREs 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. During the first quarter of 2007, there were no material changes in AMCOREs primary market risk
exposures. Based upon current expectations, no material changes are anticipated in the future in the types of market risks facing AMCORE.

Like most
financial institutions, AMCOREs net income can be significantly influenced by external factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: overall economic conditions, policies and actions of regulatory authorities, the amounts of and
rates at which assets and liabilities re-price, 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 and balance sheet growth. AMCOREs asset and liability committee (ALCO) regularly review the assumptions being utilized in
light of market conditions.

AMCOREs asset and liability management process is utilized to manage market and interest rate risk through structuring
the balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions to maximize net income while maintaining acceptable levels of risk to changes in market interest rates. While achievement of this goal requires a balance between earnings, liquidity and interest rate
risk, there are opportunities to enhance revenues through managed risk. Interest rate sensitivity analysis is performed monthly using various simulations with an asset/liability modeling system. These analyses are reviewed by the ALCO, whose actions
attempt to minimize any sudden or sustained negative impact that interest rate movements may have on net interest income. ALCO reviews the impact of liquidity, capital adequacy and rate sensitivity, among other things, and determines appropriate
policy direction to maintain or meet established ALCO guidelines.

Based upon an immediate increase in interest rates of 100 basis points and no change in
the slope of the yield curve, the potential decrease in net income before taxes for the twelve month period beginning July 1, 2007 would be approximately 0.5%. At the end of 2006, comparable assumptions would have resulted in a potential
decrease in 2007 net income before taxes of 0.4%. Conversely, an immediate decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points and no change in the slope of the yield curve, would result in a potential decrease in net income before taxes for the twelve
month period beginning July 1, 2007 of 1.7%. At the end of 2006, a similar decrease in rates would have resulted in a potential decrease in net income before taxes of 7.9%. Since the first quarter of 2007 sale of the OMSRs, the Banks risk
to an immediate decrease in rates was substantially reduced. This analysis assumes no growth in assets or liabilities and replacement of maturing instruments with like-kind instruments. During 2006, AMCORE changed its benchmark of net interest
income to net income before taxes.

The amounts and assumptions used in the rising and falling rate scenarios should not be viewed as indicative of
expected actual results. In addition to rising or falling interest rates, AMCOREs net income can be significantly affected by a variety of external factors, such as those previously noted. In addition, as interest rates move, the ALCO is
likely to adjust interest rate risk management strategies to limit, to the extent possible, the adverse impact that such changes in interest rates might otherwise have on AMCOREs net income, as well as maximize potential positive impacts such
movements might have.

|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures

The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys 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 Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have not been any
changes in the Companys 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 fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys 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 Companys financial position or results of operations. For a discussion of the Banks entry into a Consent Order with the OCC, see
Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation  Regulatory Developments. Since the Companys 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. This and other litigation is incidental to the Companys business.



|ITEM 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

There has not been any material change in the
risk factors disclosure from that contained in the Companys 2006 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
