AMCORE reported a net loss of ($32.1) million for fourth quarter 2008, compared to net income of $7.5 million in the prior-year period and a net loss of ($18.0) million in the previous quarter. Loss per diluted share was ($1.42) for fourth quarter 2008, compared to earnings of $0.33 per diluted share in fourth quarter 2007, and a loss of ($0.79) in the previous quarter.

Full year 2008 loss per diluted share was ($4.32) compared to earnings of $1.20 per diluted share in 2007. AMCORE's net loss for the full year 2008 was ($97.8) million compared to earnings of $28.2 million in 2007, and includes substantial reserves for potential loan losses for the year.

"We are committed to meeting the financial needs of our customers during this unprecedented economic period," said William R. McManaman, Chairman and CEO of AMCORE. "We all recognize this is a very difficult and weak economy, especially for banks. Our fourth quarter results reflect the continued deterioration of the economic environment. In light of these conditions during the quarter, we took aggressive steps including reducing our exposure to construction, land development and vacant land loans by 10 percent from the previous quarter and also laid plans to manage through further market uncertainty."

The following occurred during the quarter:


  *  AMCORE remained well capitalized with nearly $411 million in
     regulatory bank capital as of December 31, 2008.  Activities to 
     manage the Bank's capital and liquidity included:
 
     - Suspending the quarterly dividend in November to preserve
       capital. 
     - Merging the non-depository trust charter into the bank's 
       charter to strengthen capital resources.  
     - Extensively exploring capital raising activities to provide 
       further strength and stability.
  *   Added to reserves as the economy weakened.  Loan loss reserves 
      and capital provide the cushion against which losses are charged.  
  *   Enhanced the credit administration and underwriting functions 
      by adding expertise and resources including the redeployment of 
      personnel to asset protection from revenue production. 
  *   Increased focus on strategic relationship-based assets to 
      improve risk profile and business opportunities and lowering 
      our exposure to non-strategic, non-relationship based accounts.  
  *   Reduced staff positions by 11 percent compared to a year ago.

Revenues


  *   Net revenues decreased $13.4 million to $43.9 million in fourth 
      quarter 2008 from $57.2 million during the same quarter a year 
      ago and decreased $8.6 million from $52.5 million in the 
      previous quarter due to lower net interest income and 
      non-interest income.  
  *   Net interest income was $26.9 million, or 2.37 percent of 
      average earning assets in fourth quarter 2008, compared to 
      $39.1 million or 3.28 percent of average earning assets in
      fourth quarter 2007, and $32.3 million, or 2.76 percent of 
      average earning assets in third quarter 2008. The decreases
      from both periods were primarily due to interest income 
      reversals of $2.4 million in the fourth quarter 2008 as well 
      as increased funding costs on higher levels of non-accrual 
      loans, a continued decline in interest rates, pricing pressure 
      on funding sources and lower loan balances.  
  *   Average loan balances were essentially flat at $3.8 billion 
      compared to third quarter 2008, while average investment 
      securities decreased four percent, or $35.9 million. Average
      bank issued deposits decreased five percent, or $158.9 million, 
      to $2.8 billion compared to third quarter 2008. The decline in
      bank issued deposits is due to fluctuations in certain public 
      fund accounts and institutional clients moving from unsecured 
      to secured sweep accounts, which are classified as borrowings. 
      Investment securities declined due to a $49 million sale of 
      securities in fourth quarter 2008. 
  *   Non-interest income was $16.9 million in the fourth quarter 
      2008 compared to $18.1 million in the fourth quarter 2007 and 
      was $20.2 million in the third quarter 2008, with declines of 
      $1.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively.  The decrease for 
      both periods included lower customer service fees and higher 
      negative derivative mark-to market adjustments, which are 
      included in other non-interest income.  Fourth quarter 2008 
      included a $1.0 million gain on the sale of the investment 
      securities.

Asset Quality and Operating Expenses


  *   Provision for loan losses was $57.5 million, a $51.1 million
      increase from $6.4 million in fourth quarter 2007 and a $9.5 
      million increase from $48.0 million in third quarter 2008. 
      - Net charge-offs were $55.9 million compared to $4.8 million 
        in fourth quarter 2007, and $26.8 million in third quarter 
        2008.  Provision for loan losses are accrued when losses are
        probable, whereas chargeoffs are taken when the loss is 
        subsequently confirmed.
      - Non-performing loans were $313 million at December 31, 2008, 
        compared to $71 million at December 31, 2007 and $191 million 
        at September 30, 2008.  The economy has been particularly 
        challenging for commercial real estate loans to builders and 
        developers. Many of these builders and developers carry 
        extended housing inventories in a weak market, which has
        strained their liquidity and as a result increased our
        non-performing loans.
  *   The percentage of total non-performing loans to total loans
      was 8.27 percent at December 31, 2008, up from 1.80 percent at 
      December 31, 2007 and 5.03 percent at September 30, 2008. 
  *   Operating expenses were flat compared to fourth quarter 2007, 
      but increased seven percent compared to third quarter 2008, 
      primarily due to credit related costs. These costs included 
      higher loan processing and collection expenses of $1.1 million 
      compared to the same quarter a year ago and $888,000 compared 
      to the previous quarter; increased reserves for unfunded loan 
      commitments of $1.4 million compared to the same quarter a 
      year ago and $1.2 million compared to the previous quarter and 
      increased FDIC premiums of $1.0 million compared to the same 
      quarter a year ago and $154,000 compared to the previous quarter.
