PART I.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

General

        MainSource Financial Group, Inc. ("MainSource" or the "Company") is an Indiana corporation and bank holding company, within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), that has elected to become a financial holding company ("FHC"). The Company is based in Greensburg, Indiana. As of December 31, 2011, the Company operated one banking subsidiary: MainSource Bank ("the Bank"), an Indiana state chartered bank. Through its non-bank affiliates, the Company provides services incidental to the business of banking. Since its formation in 1982, the Company has acquired and established various institutions and financial services companies and may acquire additional financial institutions and financial services companies in the future. For further discussion of the business of the Company see Management's Discussion and Analysis in Part II, Item 7.

        As of December 31, 2011, the Company operated 80 branch banking offices in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had consolidated assets of $2,754,180, consolidated deposits of $2,159,900 and shareholders' equity of $336,553.

        Through the Bank, the Company offers a broad range of financial services, including: accepting time and transaction deposits; making consumer, commercial, agribusiness and real estate mortgage loans; renting safe deposit facilities; providing personal and corporate trust services; and providing other corporate services such as letters of credit and repurchase agreements.

        The lending activities of the Bank are separated into primarily the categories of commercial, commercial real estate, residential, and consumer. Loans are originated by the lending officers of the Bank subject to limitations set forth in lending policies. The Board of Directors of the Bank monitors concentrations of credit, problem and past due loans and charge-offs of uncollectible loans and approves loan policy. The Bank maintains conservative loan policies and underwriting practices in order to address and manage loan risks. These policies and practices include granting loans on a sound and collectible basis, serving the legitimate needs of the community and the general market area while obtaining a balance between maximum yield and minimum risk, ensuring that primary and secondary sources of repayment are adequate in relation to the amount of the loan, developing and maintaining adequate diversification of the loan portfolio as a whole and of the loans within each category and developing and applying adequate collection policies.

        Commercial loans include secured and unsecured loans, including real estate loans, to individuals and companies and to governmental units predominantly within the market area of the Bank for a myriad of business purposes.

        Agricultural loans are generated in the Bank's markets. Most of the loans are real estate loans on farm properties. Loans are also made for agricultural production and such loans are generally reviewed annually.

        Residential real estate lending has been the largest component of the loan portfolio for many years. The Bank generates residential mortgages for its own portfolio. However, the Company elects to sell the majority of its fixed rate mortgages into the secondary market while maintaining the servicing of such loans. At December 31, 2011, the Company was servicing a $780 million residential real estate loan portfolio. By originating loans for sale in the secondary market, the Company can more fully satisfy customer demand for fixed rate residential mortgages and increase fee income, while reducing the risk of loss caused by rising interest rates.

        The principal source of revenues for the Company is interest and fees on loans, which accounted for 55.7% of total revenues in 2011, 59.8% in 2010 and 63.2% in 2009.

        The Company's investment securities portfolio is primarily comprised of state and municipal bonds; U. S. government sponsored entity's mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations; and corporate securities. The Company has classified its entire investment portfolio as available for sale, with fair value changes reported separately in shareholders' equity. Funds invested in the investment portfolio generally represent funds not immediately required to meet loan demand. Income related to the Company's investment portfolio accounted for 17.0% of total revenues in 2011, 16.6% in 2010 and 14.8% in 2009. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had not identified any securities as being "high risk" as defined by the FFIEC Supervisory Policy Statement on Securities Activities.

        The primary source of funds for the Bank is deposits generated in local market areas. To attract and retain stable depositors, the Bank markets various programs for demand, savings and time deposit accounts. These programs include interest and non-interest bearing demand and individual retirement accounts.

Table of Contents

        Currently, national retailing and manufacturing subsidiaries, brokerage and insurance firms and credit unions are fierce competitors within the financial services industry. Mergers between financial institutions within Indiana and neighboring states, which became permissible under the Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, have also added competitive pressure.

        The branches of the Bank are located in predominantly non-metropolitan areas and the Bank's business is centered in loans and deposits generated within markets considered largely rural in nature. In addition to competing vigorously with other banks, thrift institutions, credit unions and finance companies located within their service areas, we also compete, directly and indirectly, with all providers of financial services.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries had 805 full-time equivalent employees to whom they provide a variety of benefits and with whom they enjoy excellent relations. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements.

Regulation and Supervision

        The Company is a financial holding company ("FHC") within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As a FHC, the Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"). The Bank is an Indiana state chartered bank subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. The following is a discussion of material statutes and regulations affecting the Company and the Bank. The discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.

    Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended

        Generally, the BHC Act governs the acquisition and control of banks and nonbanking companies by bank holding companies. A bank holding company is subject to regulation by and is required to register with the FRB under the BHC Act. The BHC Act requires a bank holding company to file an annual report of its operations and such additional information as the FRB may require. The FRB has issued regulations under the BHC Act requiring a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. It is the policy of the FRB that, pursuant to this requirement, a bank holding company should stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity.

        The acquisition of 5% or more of the voting shares of any bank or bank holding company generally requires the prior approval of the FRB and is subject to applicable federal and state law, including the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Riegle-Neal") for interstate transactions. The FRB evaluates acquisition applications based on, among other things, competitive factors, supervisory factors, adequacy of financial and managerial resources, and banking and community needs considerations.

        The BHC Act also prohibits, with certain exceptions, a bank holding company from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any "nonbanking" company unless the nonbanking activities are found by the FRB to be "so closely related to banking . . . as to be a proper incident thereto." Under current regulations of the FRB, a bank holding company and its nonbank subsidiaries are permitted, among other activities, to engage in such banking-related business ventures as consumer finance, equipment leasing, data processing, mortgage banking, financial and investment advice, and securities brokerage services. The BHC Act does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of a bank holding company or its nonbank subsidiaries.

        Federal law prohibits acquisition of "control" of a bank or bank holding company without prior notice to certain federal bank regulators. "Control" is defined in certain cases as the acquisition of as little as 10% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, a bank holding company may not be able to purchase its own stock, where the gross consideration will equal 10% or more of the company's net worth, without obtaining approval of the FRB. Under the Federal Reserve Act, banks and their affiliates are subject to certain requirements and restrictions when dealing with each other (affiliate transactions include transactions between a bank and its bank holding company).

    Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999.

        The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Modernization Act of 1999 (the "Modernization Act") was enacted on November 12, 1999. The Modernization Act, which amended the BHC Act, provides the following:

    it allows bank holding companies that qualify as "financial holding companies" to engage in a broad range of financial and related activities;

    it allows insurers and other financial services companies to acquire banks;

4


Table of Contents

    it removes various restrictions that applied to bank holding company ownership of securities firms and mutual fund advisory companies; and

    it establishes the overall regulatory structure applicable to bank holding companies that also engage in insurance and securities operations.

        The Company initially qualified as a financial holding company in December, 2004. Thus the Company is authorized to operate as a financial holding company and is eligible to engage in, or acquire companies engaged in, the broader range of activities that are permitted by the Modernization Act. These activities include those that are determined to be "financial in nature," including insurance underwriting, securities underwriting and dealing, and making merchant banking investments in commercial and financial companies. If a banking subsidiary ceases to be "well capitalized" or "well managed" under applicable regulatory standards, the FRB may, among other things, place limitations on our ability to conduct these broader financial activities or, if the deficiencies persist, require us to divest the banking subsidiary. In addition, if a banking subsidiary receives a rating of less than satisfactory under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA"), we would be prohibited from engaging in any additional activities other than those permissible for bank holding companies that are not financial holding companies.

    Bank Secrecy Act and USA Patriot Act

        In 1970, Congress enacted the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act, commonly known as the Bank Secrecy Act (the "BSA"). The BSA requires financial institutions to maintain records of certain customers and currency transactions and to report certain domestic and foreign currency transactions, which may have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory investigations or proceedings. Under this law, financial institutions are required to develop a BSA compliance program.

        In 2001, the President signed into law comprehensive anti-terrorism legislation known as the USA Patriot Act. Title III of the USA Patriot Act requires financial institutions, including the Company and the Bank, to help prevent and detect international money laundering and the financing of terrorism and prosecute those involved in such activities. The Department of the Treasury has adopted additional requirements to further implement Title III.

        Under these regulations, a mechanism has been established for law enforcement officials to communicate names of suspected terrorists and money launderers to financial institutions to enable financial institutions to promptly locate accounts and transactions involving those suspects. Financial institutions receiving names of suspects must search their account and transaction records for potential matches and report positive results to the U.S. Department of the Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN"). Each financial institution must designate a point of contact to receive information requests. These regulations outline how financial institutions can share information concerning suspected terrorist and money laundering activity with other financial institutions under the protection of a statutory safe harbor if each financial institution notifies FinCEN of its intent to share information. The Department of the Treasury has also adopted regulations intended to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing through correspondent accounts maintained by U.S. financial institutions on behalf of foreign banks. Financial institutions are required to take reasonable steps to ensure that they are not providing banking services directly or indirectly to foreign shell banks. In addition, banks must have procedures in place to verify the identity of the persons with whom they deal.

    FDIC Improvement Act of 1991

        The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") requires, among other things, federal bank regulatory authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to banks which do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA.

        "Undercapitalized" banks are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. A bank's compliance with such plan is required to be guaranteed by the bank's parent holding company. If an "undercapitalized" bank fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. "Significantly undercapitalized" banks are subject to one or more restrictions, including an order by the FDIC to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cease receipt of deposits from correspondent banks, and restrictions on compensation of executive officers. "Critically undercapitalized" institutions may not, beginning 60 days after becoming "critically undercapitalized," make any payment of principal or interest on certain subordinated debt or extend credit for a highly leveraged transaction or enter into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business. In addition, "critically undercapitalized" institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator.

        A "well capitalized" institution is one that has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, a leverage ratio of at least 5% and is not subject to regulatory direction to maintain a specific level for any capital measure. An "adequately capitalized" institution is one that has ratios greater than 8%, 4% and 4%. An institution is "undercapitalized" if its respective ratios are less than 8%, 4% and 4%. "Significantly undercapitalized" institutions have ratios of

5


Table of Contents

less than 6%, 3% and 3%. An institution is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is 2% or less.

    The Sarbanes-Oxley Act

        The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") represents a comprehensive revision of laws affecting corporate governance, accounting obligations and corporate reporting. Among other requirements, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act established: (i) requirements for audit committees of public companies, including independence and expertise standards; (ii) additional responsibilities regarding financial statements for the chief executive officers and chief financial officers of reporting companies; (iii) standards for auditors and regulation of audits; (iv) increased disclosure and reporting obligations for reporting companies regarding various matters relating to corporate governance, and (v) new and increased civil and criminal penalties for violation of the securities laws.

    Deposit Insurance Fund

        The deposits of the Bank are insured to the maximum extent permitted by law by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the FDIC, which was created in 2006 as the result of the merger of the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund in accordance with the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the "FDI Act"). The FDIC maintains the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC is required to set a DIF reserve ratio of 1.35% of estimated insured deposits and is required to achieve this ratio by September 30, 2020. Also, the Dodd-Frank Act has eliminated the 1.50% ceiling on the reserve ratio and provides that the FDIC is no longer required to refund amounts in the DIF that exceed 1.50% of insured deposits.

        During the second quarter of 2009, the FDIC levied an industry-wide special assessment charge on insured financial institutions as part of the agency's efforts to rebuild the DIF. In November 2009, the FDIC amended regulations that required insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of the years of 2010-2012. The prepaid assessments is applied against future quarterly assessments (as they may be so revised) until the prepaid assessment is exhausted or the balance of the prepayment is returned, whichever occurs first.

        Under the FDIC's risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are required to pay deposit insurance premiums based on the risk that each institution poses to the DIF. An institution's risk to the DIF is measured by its regulatory capital levels, supervisory evaluations, and certain other factors. An institution's assessment rate depends upon the risk category to which it is assigned. As noted above, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC will calculate an institution's assessment level based on its total average consolidated assets during the assessment period less average tangible equity (i.e., Tier 1 capital) as opposed to an institution's deposit level which was the previous basis for calculating insurance assessments. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, institutions will be placed into one of four risk categories for purposes of determining the institution's actual assessment rate. The FDIC will determine the risk category based on the institution's capital position (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized) and supervisory condition (based on exam reports and related information provided by the institution's primary federal regulator).

    Dividends

        The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. There are various legal limitations on the extent to which the Bank can supply funds to the Company. The principal source of the Company's funds consists of dividends from the Bank. State and Federal law restricts the amount of dividends that may be paid by banks. In addition, the Bank is subject to certain restrictions on extensions of credit to the Company, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company and in taking such stock or securities as collateral for loans.

    Community Reinvestment Act

        The Community Reinvestment Act requires that the federal banking regulators evaluate the records of a financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility. Failure to adequately meet these criteria could result in the imposition of additional requirements and limitations on the Bank.

    Capital Requirements

        As discussed above, the Company and the Bank must meet certain minimum capital requirements mandated by each of their state or federal regulators. These regulatory agencies require BHCs and banks to maintain certain minimum ratios of primary capital to total assets and total capital to total assets. The FRB requires BHCs to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% capital to total assets; however, for all but the most highly rated institutions which do not anticipate significant growth, the minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio is 3% plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points. As of December 31, 2011, the Company's leverage ratio of

6


Table of Contents

capital to total assets was 10.8%. The FRB and FDIC each have approved the imposition of "risk-adjusted" capital ratios on BHCs and financial institutions. The Company's Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio was 17.6% and its Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio was 18.9% at December 31, 2011. The Bank had capital to asset ratios and risk- adjusted capital ratios at December 31, 2010, in excess of the applicable minimum regulatory requirements.

    Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

        In October 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA") was enacted. The EESA authorized Treasury to purchase from financial institutions and their holding companies up to $700 billion in mortgage loans, mortgage- related securities and certain other financial instruments, including debt and equity securities issued by financial institutions and their holding companies in a troubled asset relief program ("TARP"). The purpose of TARP was to restore confidence and stability to the U.S. banking system and to encourage financial institutions to increase their lending to customers and to each other. EESA also increased the amount of deposit insurance provided by the FDIC.

        The U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury"), working with the Federal Reserve Board, established late in 2008 the TARP Capital Purchase Program ("CPP"), which was intended to stabilize the financial services industry. One of the components of the CPP included a $250 billion voluntary capital purchase program for certain qualified and healthy banking institutions. Pursuant to the CPP, Treasury purchased from the Company 57,000 shares of $1,000 par value senior perpetual preferred securities at a price of $57 million equal to approximately 3.0% of the Company's then risk-weighted assets. Such preferred shares pay a dividend of 5% for the first five years and will increase to 9% thereafter. In connection with the Company's participation in the CPP, Treasury also received a warrant for the purchase of common stock in the amount of 571,906 shares at a strike price of $14.95 per share. The warrant expires on January 16, 2019.

    American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

        On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA"), more commonly known as the economic stimulus or economic recovery package. ARRA included a wide variety of programs intended to stimulate the economy and provide for extensive infrastructure, energy, health and education needs. In addition, ARRA imposed new executive compensation and corporate governance limits on current and future participants in the CPP, including the Company, which are in addition to those previously announced by Treasury. These limits remain in place until the participant has redeemed the preferred stock sold to Treasury, which is now permitted under ARRA without penalty and without the need to raise new capital, subject to Treasury's consultation with the recipient's appropriate federal regulator. On June 10, 2009, Treasury released an interim final rule, effective June 15, 2009, that provided guidance on the compensation and governance standards for participants in the CPP, and promulgated regulations to implement the restrictions and standards set forth in ARRA. Among other things, Treasury's final rule and ARRA significantly expanded the executive compensation restrictions previously imposed by EESA.

    The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

        On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the sweeping financial regulatory reform act entitled the "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act" (Dodd-Frank Act). The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-reaching changes to the regulation of the financial services industry, including provisions that, among other things will:

    centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency (the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws with broad rulemaking, supervision and enforcement authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that would apply to all banks and thrifts; smaller financial institutions, including the Company, will be subject to the supervision and enforcement of their primary federal banking regulator with respect to the federal consumer financial protection laws;

    require the FDIC to seek to make its capital requirements for banks countercyclical so that the amount of capital required to be maintained increases in times of economic expansion and decreases in times of economic contraction;

    change the assessment base for federal deposit insurance from the amount of insured deposits to consolidated assets less tangible capital;

    implement corporate governance revisions, including with regard to executive compensation and proxy access by stockholders, that apply to all public companies, not just financial institutions;

    make permanent the $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance and increase the cash limit of Securities Investor Protection Corporation protection from $100,000 to $250,000, and provide unlimited federal deposit insurance until January 1, 2013, for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions;

    repeal the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts starting July 2011; and

7


Table of Contents

    increase the authority of the Federal Reserve to examine the Company and its non-bank subsidiaries.

        The Dodd-Frank Act includes certain provisions concerning the capital regulations of the United States banking regulators, which are often referred to as the "Collins Amendment." These provisions are intended to subject bank holding companies to the same capital requirements as their bank subsidiaries and to eliminate or significantly reduce the use of hybrid capital instruments, especially trust preferred securities, as regulatory capital. Under the Collins Amendment, trust preferred securities issued by a company, such as the Company, with total consolidated assets of less than $15 billion before May 19, 2010 and treated as regulatory capital are grandfathered, but any such securities issued later are not eligible as regulatory capital. The banking regulators must develop regulations setting minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements for holding companies and banks on a consolidated basis that are no less stringent than the generally applicable requirements in effect for depository institutions under prompt corrective action regulations. The banking regulators also must seek to make capital standards countercyclical so that the required levels of capital increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction.

        Many aspects of the act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Company, its customers or the financial industry more generally. Provisions in the legislation that affect deposit insurance assessments and payment of interest on demand deposits could increase the costs associated with deposits as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate.

    S.A.F.E. Act Requirements

        Regulations issued under the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (the "S.A.F.E. Act") require residential mortgage loan originators who are employees of institutions regulated by the foregoing agencies, including national banks, to meet the registration requirements of the S.A.F.E. Act. The S.A.F.E. Act requires residential mortgage loan originators who are employees of regulated financial institutions to be registered with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry, a database created by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors and the American Association of Residential Mortgage Regulators to support the licensing of mortgage loan originators by the states. Employees of regulated financial institutions are generally prohibited from originating residential mortgage loans unless they are registered.

    Future Legislation

        In addition to the specific legislation described above, various additional legislation is currently being considered by Congress. This legislation may change banking statutes and the Company's operating environment in substantial and unpredictable ways and may increase reporting requirements and governance. If enacted, such legislation could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities, or affect the competitive balance among banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other financial institutions. The Company cannot predict whether any potential legislation will be enacted and, if enacted, the effect that it, or any implementing regulations, would have on its business, results of operations, or financial condition.

    Other Regulatory Developments

        In December 2010 and January 2011, the Basel Committee published the final texts of reforms on capital and liquidity generally referred to as "Basel III." Although Basel III is intended to be implemented by participating countries for large, internationally active banks, its provisions are likely to be considered by United States banking regulators in developing new regulations applicable to other banks in the United States, including the Bank.

        For banks in the United States, among the most significant provisions of Basel III concerning capital are the following:

    a minimum ratio of common equity to risk-weighted assets reaching 4.5%, plus an additional 2.5% as a capital conservation buffer, by 2019 after a phase-in period;

    a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets reaching 6.0% by 2019 after a phase-in period;

    a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets, plus the additional 2.5% capital conservation buffer, reaching 10.5% by 2019 after a phase-in period;

    restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonuses applicable when capital ratios fall within the buffer zone;

    deduction from common equity of deferred tax assets that depend on future profitability to be realized;

    increased capital requirements for counterparty credit risk relating to over the counter derivatives, repos and securities financing activities; and

    for capital instruments issued on or after January 13, 2013 (other than common equity), a loss-absorbency requirement such that the instrument must be written off or converted to common equity if a trigger event occurs, either pursuant to applicable law or at the direction of the banking regulator. A trigger event is an event under which the banking entity would become nonviable without the write-off or conversion, or without an injection of capital from the public sector. The issuer must maintain authorization to issue the requisite shares of common equity if conversion were required.

        The Basel III provisions on liquidity include complex criteria establishing the liquidity coverage ratio ("LCR") and the net stable funding ratio ("NSFR"). The purpose of the LCR is to ensure that a bank maintains adequate unencumbered, high quality liquid assets to meet its liquidity needs for 30 days under a severe liquidity stress scenario. The purpose of the NSFR is to promote more medium and long-term funding of assets and activities, using a one-year horizon. Although Basel III is described as a "final text," it is subject to the resolution of certain issues and to further guidance and modification, as well as to adoption by United States banking regulators, including decisions as to whether and to what extent it will apply to United States banks that are not large, internationally active banks.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

        In addition to the other information contained in this report, the following risks may affect us. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations may suffer. As a result, the price of our common shares could decline.

Risks Related to the Company's Business

Difficult conditions in the capital markets and the economy generally have affected and may continue to materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

        From 2007 through 2009, the U.S. economy was in recession. Business activity across a wide range of industries and regions in the U.S. was greatly reduced. Although economic conditions have begun to improve, certain sectors, such as real estate, remain weak and unemployment remains high. Local governments and many businesses are still in serious difficulty due to lower consumer spending and the lack of liquidity in the credit markets.

        Market conditions also led to the failure or merger of several prominent financial institutions and numerous regional and community-based financial institutions. These failures, as well as projected future failures, have had a significant negative impact on the capitalization level of the deposit insurance fund of the FDIC, which, in turn, has led to a significant increase in deposit insurance premiums paid by financial institutions.

        The Company's financial performance generally, and in particular the ability of borrowers to pay interest on and repay principal of outstanding loans and the value of collateral securing those loans, as well as demand for loans and other products and services that the Company offers, is highly dependent upon the business environment in the markets where the Company operates and in the United States as a whole. A favorable business environment is generally characterized by, among other factors, economic growth, efficient capital markets, low inflation, low unemployment, high business and investor confidence, and strong business earnings. Unfavorable or uncertain economic and market conditions can be caused by declines in economic growth, business activity or investor or business confidence; limitations on the availability or increases in the cost of credit and capital; increases in inflation or interest rates; high unemployment, natural disasters, or a combination of these or other factors.

        During 2011, the business environment continued to be adverse for many households and businesses in the United States and worldwide. While economic conditions in the United States and worldwide have begun to improve, there can be no assurance that this improvement will continue. Such conditions have affected, and could continue to adversely affect, the credit quality of the Company's loans, results of operations and financial condition.

Recently enacted and potential further financial regulatory reforms could have a significant impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") into law. The Dodd-Frank Act is expected to have a broad impact on the financial services industry, including significant regulatory and compliance changes. Many of the requirements called for in the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and most will be subject to implementing regulations over the course of several years. Given the uncertainty associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory agencies and through regulations, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on our operations is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of business activities, require changes to certain business practices, impose more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage requirements or otherwise adversely affect our business. In particular, the potential impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on our operations and activities, both currently and prospectively, include, among others:

    a reduction in the ability to generate or originate revenue-producing assets as a result of compliance with heightened capital standards;

    increased cost of operations due to greater regulatory oversight, supervision and examination of banks and bank holding companies, and higher deposit insurance premiums;

    the limitation on the ability to raise new capital through the use of trust preferred securities, as any new issuances of these securities will no longer be included as Tier 1 capital going forward;

    a potential reduction in fee income due to limits on interchange fees applicable to larger institutions which could effectively reduce the fees we can charge; and

    the limitation on the ability to expand consumer product and service offerings due to anticipated stricter consumer protection laws and regulations.

        Further, we may be required to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make any changes necessary to comply with new statutory and regulatory requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act, which may negatively impact results of operations and financial condition.

        We cannot predict whether there will be additional proposed laws or reforms that would affect the U.S. financial system or financial institutions, whether or when such changes may be adopted, how such changes may be interpreted and enforced or how such changes may affect us. However, the costs of complying with any additional laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Like most banking organizations, a significant portion of our assets consists of loans, which if not repaid could result in losses to the Company.

        As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our customers will be unable to repay their loans according to their terms and that the collateral securing the payment of their loans (if any) may not be sufficient to assure repayment. Credit losses could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

        As of December 31, 2011, our total loan portfolio was approximately $1,534,379 or 56% of our total assets. Three major components of the loan portfolio are loans principally secured by real estate, approximately $1,342,076 or 87% of total loans; other commercial loans, approximately $135,108 or 9% of total loans; and consumer loans, approximately $57,195 or 4% of total loans. Our credit risk with respect to our consumer installment loan portfolio and commercial loan portfolio relates principally to the general creditworthiness of individuals and businesses within our local market area. Our credit risk with respect to our residential and commercial real estate mortgage and construction loan portfolio relates principally to the general creditworthiness of individuals and businesses and the value of real estate serving as security for the repayment of the loans. A related risk in connection with loans secured by commercial real estate is the effect of unknown or unexpected environmental contamination, which could make the real estate effectively unmarketable or otherwise significantly reduce its value as security. Continued or worsening declines in the economy could cause additional credit issues, particularly within our residential and commercial real estate mortgage and construction loan portfolio.

Our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect our earnings.

        We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level estimated by management to be sufficient to cover probable incurred loan losses in our loan portfolio. Loan losses will likely occur in the future and may occur at a rate greater than we have experienced to date. In determining the size of the allowance, our management makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the diversification by industry of our commercial loan portfolio, the effect of changes in the local real estate markets on collateral values, the results of recent regulatory examinations, the effects on the loan portfolio of current

10


Table of Contents

economic indicators and their probable impact on borrowers, the amount of charge-offs for the period, the amount of nonperforming loans and related collateral security, and the evaluation of our loan portfolio by an external loan review. If our assumptions and judgments prove to be incorrect, our current allowance may not be sufficient and adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or adverse developments in our loan portfolio. Additionally, continuing deterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside the Company's control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Federal and state regulators also periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that our monitoring procedures and policies will reduce certain lending risks or that our allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover actual losses.

If we foreclose on collateral property, we may be subject to the increased costs associated with ownership of real property, resulting in reduced revenues and earnings.

        We may have to foreclose on collateral property to protect our investment and may thereafter own and operate such property, in which case we will be exposed to the risks inherent in the ownership of real estate. The amount that we, as a mortgagee, may realize after a default is dependent upon factors outside of our control, including, but not limited to: (i) general or local economic conditions; (ii) neighborhood values; (iii) interest rates; (iv) real estate tax rates; (v) operating expenses of the mortgaged properties; (vi) environmental remediation liabilities; (vii) ability to obtain and maintain adequate occupancy of the properties; (viii) zoning laws; (ix) governmental rules, regulations and fiscal policies; and (x) acts of God. Certain expenditures associated with the ownership of real estate, principally real estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs, may adversely affect the income from the real estate. Therefore, the cost of operating real property may exceed the income earned from such property, and we may have to advance funds in order to protect our investment, or we may be required to dispose of the real property at a loss. The foregoing expenditures and costs could adversely affect our ability to generate revenues, resulting in reduced levels of profitability.

Significant interest rate volatility could reduce our profitability.

        Our results of operations are affected principally by net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest expense paid on deposits and other borrowings. We cannot predict or control changes in interest rates. National, regional and local economic conditions and the policies of regulatory authorities, including monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, affect market interest rates. While we have instituted policies and procedures designed to manage the risks from changes in market interest rates, at any given time our assets and liabilities will likely be affected differently by a given change in interest rates, principally because we do not match the maturities of our loans and investments precisely with our deposits and other funding sources. Changes in interest rates may also affect the level of voluntary prepayments on our loans and the level of financing or refinancing by customers. As of December 31, 2011, we had a negative interest rate gap of 20% of interest earning assets in the one-year time frame. Although this is within our internal policy limits, our earnings will be adversely affected in periods of rising interest rates because, during such periods, the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowings will generally increase more rapidly than the interest income earned on loans and investments. If such an interest rate increase occurred gradually, we would use our established procedures to attempt to mitigate the effects over time. However, if such an interest rate increase occurred rapidly, or interest rates exhibited volatile increases and decreases, we might be unable to mitigate the effects, and our net interest income could suffer significant adverse effects. While management intends to continue to take measures to mitigate interest rate risk, we cannot assure you that such measures will be entirely effective in minimizing our exposure to the risk of rapid changes in interest rates.

The repeal of Regulation Q may increase competition for deposits and increase our interest expense.

        On July 18, 2011, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System published a final rule repealing Regulation Q, which prohibits the payment of interest on demand deposits by institutions that are member banks of the Federal Reserve System. The rule implements Section 627 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed by President Obama on July 21, 2010, which repealed Section 19(i) of the Federal Reserve Act in its entirety effective July 21, 2011. As a result, banks and thrifts may now offer interest-bearing demand deposit accounts to commercial customers, which were previously forbidden under Regulation Q. The repeal of Regulation Q may cause increased competition from other financial institutions for these deposits. If the Bank decides to pay interest on demand accounts, it would expect interest expense to increase.

We may be required to pay significantly higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) premiums in the future.

        Insured institution failures during the past several years, as well as deterioration in banking and economic conditions, have significantly increased FDIC loss provisions, resulting in a decline in the designated reserve ratio to historical lows. The FDIC expects the higher rate of insured institution failures to continue for the next few years compared to the past; thus, the reserve ratio

11


Table of Contents

may continue to decline. In addition the Dodd-Frank Act permanently implemented FDIC insurance coverage for all deposit accounts up to $250,000 and revised the insurance premium assessment base from all domestic deposits to the average of total assets less tangible equity. The minimum reserve ratio of the deposit insurance fund has been increased from 1.15% to 1.35%, with the increase to be covered by assessments on insured institutions with assets over $10 billion until the new reserve ratio is reached.

        We are generally unable to control the amount of premiums that we are required to pay for FDIC insurance. If there are additional bank or financial institution failures, we may be required to pay even higher FDIC premiums than the recently increased levels. Additionally, the FDIC may make material changes to the calculation of the prepaid assessment from the current proposal. Any future changes in the calculation or assessment of FDIC insurance premiums may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and our ability to continue to pay dividends on our common shares at the current rate or at all.

Future growth or operating results may require the Company to raise additional capital but that capital may not be available or it may be dilutive.

        The Company is required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support its operations. To the extent the Company's future operating results erode capital or the Company elects to expand through loan growth or acquisition it may be required to raise capital. The Company's ability to raise capital will depend on conditions in the capital markets, which are outside of its control, and on the Company's financial performance. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured of its ability to raise capital if needed or on favorable terms. If the Company cannot raise additional capital when needed, it will be subject to increased regulatory supervision and the imposition of restrictions on its growth and business. These could negatively impact the Company's ability to operate or further expand its operations through acquisitions or the establishment of additional branches and may result in increases in operating expenses and reductions in revenues that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

We rely heavily on our management and other key personnel, and the loss of any of them may adversely affect our operations.

        We are and will continue to be dependent upon the services of our management team. The loss of any of our senior managers could have an adverse effect on our growth and performance because of their skills, knowledge of the markets in which we operate and years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacement personnel. The loss of key personnel in a particular market could have an adverse effect on our performance in that market because it may be difficult to find qualified replacement personnel who are already located in or would be willing to relocate to a non-metropolitan market.

        Our ability to retain key officers and employees may be further impacted by executive compensation and governance restrictions applicable to participants in Treasury's CPP, including restrictions on total compensation, equity compensation and severance payments. Additionally, recent proposed regulations issued by banking regulators regarding executive compensation may also impact our ability to compensate executives and, as a result, to attract and retain qualified personnel.

The geographic concentration of our markets makes our business highly susceptible to local economic conditions.

        Unlike larger banking organizations that are more geographically diversified, our operations are currently concentrated in 31 counties in Indiana, three counties in Illinois, two counties in Ohio, and three counties in Kentucky. As a result of this geographic concentration in four fairly contiguous markets, our financial results depend largely upon economic conditions in these market areas. A deterioration in economic conditions in one or all of these markets could result in one or more of the following:

    an increase in loan delinquencies;

    an increase in problem assets and foreclosures;

    a decrease in the demand for our products and services; or

    a decrease in the value of collateral for loans, especially real estate, in turn reducing customers' borrowing power, the value of assets associated with problem loans and collateral coverage.

If we do not adjust to rapid changes in the financial services industry, our financial performance may suffer.

        We face substantial competition for deposit, credit and trust relationships, as well as other sources of funding in the communities we serve. Competing providers include other banks, thrifts and trust companies, insurance companies, mortgage banking operations, credit unions, finance companies, money market funds and other financial and nonfinancial companies which may offer products functionally equivalent to those offered by our banks. Competing providers may have greater financial resources than we do and offer services within and outside the market areas we serve. In addition to this challenge of attracting and retaining customers for traditional banking services, our competitors now include securities dealers, brokers, mortgage bankers, investment advisors and finance and insurance companies who seek to offer one-stop financial services to their customers that may include services that banks have not been able or allowed to offer to their customers in the past. The increasingly competitive environment is primarily a

12


Table of Contents

result of changes in regulation, changes in technology and product delivery systems and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers. If we are unable to adjust both to increased competition for traditional banking services and changing customer needs and preferences, it could adversely affect our financial performance and your investment in our common stock.

Our historical growth and financial performance trends may not continue if our acquisition strategy is not successful.

        Growth in asset size and earnings through acquisitions has been an important part of our business strategy. As consolidation of the banking industry continues, the competition for suitable acquisition candidates may increase. We compete with other banking companies for acquisition opportunities, and many of these competitors have greater financial resources and acquisition experience than we do and may be able to pay more for an acquisition than we are able or willing to pay. We also may need additional debt or equity financing in the future to fund acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing or, if available, it may not be in amounts and on terms acceptable to us. We may use our common stock as the consideration for an acquisition or we may issue additional common stock and use the proceeds for the acquisition. Our issuance of additional securities will dilute your equity interest in us and may have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share. If we are unable to locate suitable acquisition candidates willing to sell on terms acceptable to us, or we are otherwise unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing necessary for us to continue our acquisition strategy, we would be required to find other methods to grow our business and we may not grow at the same rate we have in the past, or at all.

Acquisitions entail risks which could negatively affect our operations.

        Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

    exposure to asset quality problems of the acquired institution;

    maintaining adequate regulatory capital;

    diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;

    risks and expenses of entering new geographic markets;

    potential significant loss of depositors or loan customers from the acquired institution; or

    exposure to undisclosed or unknown liabilities of an acquired institution.

        Any of these acquisition risks could result in unexpected losses or expenses and thereby reduce the expected benefits of the acquisition.

Unanticipated costs related to our acquisitions could reduce MainSource's future earnings per share.

        MainSource believes it has reasonably estimated the likely costs of integrating the operations of the banks it acquires into MainSource and the incremental costs of operating such banks as a part of the MainSource family. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses, such as increased personnel costs or increased taxes, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of MainSource. If unexpected costs are incurred, acquisitions could have a dilutive effect on MainSource's earnings per share. Current accounting guidance requires expensing of acquisition costs. In prior years, these costs could be capitalized. In other words, if MainSource incurs such unexpected costs and expenses as a result of its acquisitions, MainSource believes that the earnings per share of MainSource common stock could be less than they would have been if those acquisitions had not been completed.

MainSource may be unable to successfully integrate the operations of the banks it has acquired and may acquire in the future and retain employees of such banks.

        MainSource's acquisition strategy involves the integration of the banks MainSource has acquired and may acquire in the future as MainSource subsidiary banks. The difficulties of integrating the operations of such banks with MainSource and its other subsidiary banks include:

    coordinating geographically separated organizations;

    integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds;

    combining different corporate cultures; or

    retaining key employees.

13


Table of Contents

        The process of integrating operations could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of MainSource, its subsidiary banks and the banks MainSource has acquired and may acquire in the future and the loss of key personnel. The integration of such banks as MainSource subsidiary banks requires the experience and expertise of certain key employees of such banks who are expected to be retained by MainSource. We cannot be sure, however, that MainSource will be successful in retaining these employees for the time period necessary to successfully integrate such banks' operations as subsidiary banks of MainSource. The diversion of management's attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the mergers, along with the integration of the banks as MainSource subsidiary banks, could have an adverse effect on the business and results of operation of MainSource.

The Company may be subject to future goodwill impairment charges

        During 2009, the Company recorded $80,310 in goodwill impairment charges in the second and fourth quarters. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in 2010 or 2011. While the Company does not currently anticipate that there will be additional impairment charges required in the future, it can make no guarantees that none will be taken. If more impairment is recorded, it will have a negative impact on future earnings.

Risks Relating to the Banking Industry

Changes in governmental regulation and legislation could limit our future performance and growth.

        We are subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern almost all aspects of our operations, as well as any acquisitions we may propose to make. Any change in applicable federal or state laws or regulations could have a substantial impact on us, our subsidiary banks and our operations. While we cannot predict what effect any presently contemplated or future changes in the laws or regulations or their interpretations would have on us, these changes could reduce the value of your investment.

Changes in regulation or oversight may have a material adverse impact on our operations.

        We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory bodies. Such regulation and supervision governs the activities in which we may engage. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on our operations, investigations and limitations related to our securities, the classification of our assets and determination of the level of our allowance for loan losses. In light of the current conditions in the U.S. financial markets and economy, Congress and regulators have increased their focus on the regulation of the financial services industry. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, legislation or supervisory action, may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to the Company's Stock

We may not be able to pay dividends in the future in accordance with past practice.

        The Company has traditionally paid a quarterly dividend to common stockholders. The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and receives substantially all of its revenue and cash flow from dividends paid by the Bank to the Company. Indiana state law and agreements between the Bank and its federal and state regulators may limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to the Company. In the event that the Bank is unable to pay dividends to the Company for an extended period of time, the Company may not be able to service its debt obligations or pay dividends on its common stock. Additionally, any payment of dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the Bank's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered relevant by the Company's Board of Directors. Starting in the second quarter of 2009 and continuing to the present, the Company reduced the amount of cash dividends paid. This reduction was made to preserve capital levels at the Company. There can be no assurance as to when or by what amount the Board will increase the dividend from its current level.

The price of the Company's common stock may be volatile, which may result in losses for investors.

        General market price declines or market volatility in the future could adversely affect the price of the Company's common stock. In addition, the following factors may cause the market price for shares of the Company's common stock to fluctuate:

    announcements of developments related to the Company's business;

    fluctuations in the Company's results of operations;

    sales or purchases of substantial amounts of the Company's securities in the marketplace;

14


Table of Contents

    general conditions in the Company's banking niche or the worldwide economy;

    a shortfall or excess in revenues or earnings compared to securities analysts' expectations;

    changes in analysts' recommendations or projections; and

    the Company's announcement of new acquisitions or other projects.

The Company's participation in Treasury's Capital Purchase Program (CPP) may adversely affect the value of its common stock and the rights of its common stockholders.

        The rights of the holders of the Company's common stock may be adversely affected by the Company's participation in the CPP. For example:

    The Company may not pay dividends on its common stock unless it has fully paid all required dividends on the Preferred Shares. Although the Company fully expects to be able to pay all required dividends on the Preferred Shares, there is no guarantee that it will be able to do so.

    The Preferred Shares will receive preferential treatment in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company.

    The ownership interest of the existing holders of the Company's common stock will be diluted to the extent the warrant the Company issued to Treasury in conjunction with the sale to Treasury of the Preferred Shares is exercised.

In addition, terms of the Preferred Shares require that quarterly dividends be paid on the Preferred Shares at the rate of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% per annum thereafter until the stock is redeemed by the Company. The payments of these dividends will decrease the excess cash the Company otherwise has available to pay dividends on its common stock and to use for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

The Company's charter documents and federal regulations may inhibit a takeover, prevent a transaction that may favor or otherwise limit the Company's growth opportunities, which could cause the market price of the Company's common stock to decline.

        Certain provisions of the Company's charter documents and federal regulations could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. In addition, the Company must obtain approval from regulatory authorities before acquiring control of any other company.

        It is expected that the Company will continue to pay its reduced dividend for the foreseeable future, until the Company determines that its results of operations, its capital levels and other external factors beyond management's control make it prudent to raise the dividend, and until the Company determines that its earnings are sufficient to repurchase the preferred shares held by the U.S. Treasury pursuant to Treasury's Capital Purchase Program. As a participant in the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program, no dividends may be paid on the common stock unless and until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods owed to the Treasury on the preferred shares are fully paid. See Note 27 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the Company's participation in the Capital Purchase Program.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's Discussion and Analysis
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Forward-Looking Statements

        Except for historical information contained herein, the discussion in this Annual Report includes certain forward-looking statements based upon management expectations. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update such forward looking statements. Factors which could cause future results to differ from these expectations include the following: general economic conditions; legislative and regulatory initiatives; monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; deposit flows; the cost of funds; general market rates of interest; interest rates on competing investments; demand for loan products; demand for financial services; changes in accounting policies or guidelines; changes in the quality or composition of the Company's loan and investment portfolios; the Company's ability to integrate acquisitions, the impact of our continuing acquisition strategy, and other factors, including the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company intends the forward looking statements set forth herein to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Overview

        MainSource Financial Group, Inc. ("MainSource" or the "Company") is a financial holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary bank: MainSource Bank headquartered in Greensburg, Indiana (the "Bank"). The Bank operates under an Indiana state charter and is subject to regulation by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Non-banking subsidiaries include MainSource Insurance, LLC, Insurance Services Marketing, LLC and MainSource Title, LLC. These three subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the Indiana Department of Insurance. The Company sold the property and casualty and health insurance book of businesses related to MainSource Insurance, LLC in the fourth quarter of 2010, but retained its business relating to annuities and credit life insurance.

Business Strategy

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

Results of Operations

        Net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders was $20,759 in 2011, $11,748 in 2010, and $(67,058) in 2009. Earnings/(loss) per common share on a fully diluted basis were $1.03 in 2011, $0.58 in 2010, and $(3.33) in 2009. The primary drivers that led to the increase in net income in 2011 were lower loan loss provision expense of $17,450, higher realized gains on securities of $8,378, increased trust and investment product fees of $887, a reduction in FDIC premiums of $966, and increased interchange income of $738. Credit losses continued to decline and new impaired loans decreased in 2011. As a result of favorable pricing, the Company recorded gains during 2011 on the sale of securities at a higher level than 2010. The full year effect of increasing the number of financial advisors in 2010 resulted in higher trust and investment product fees. The Company realized a savings in FDIC premiums due to the change in 2011 of basing the premium on total assets instead of deposits. Continued emphasis on new account growth generated additional interchange income. Offsetting these items was an increase in consulting expenses of $6,547, a decrease in mortgage banking income of $2,091, a reduction in insurance commissions of $1,711, an increase in OREO losses of $1,647 and a decrease in other income of $1,176 (approximately 85% of this reduction is due to the gain recognized on the sale of the property and casualty business lines of the Company's insurance division in 2010). In 2011, the Company completed an efficiency project with the aid of a third party consulting firm. As a result of the project, approximately 150 full-time equivalent positions were targeted for elimination. While mortgage rates remained low during 2011, mortgage financing levels declined and represented more normal activity. As mentioned above, the Company sold the property and casualty business lines in 2010 which caused the reduction in commissions. The OREO losses are the result of the Company continuing its efforts to reduce its non-performing assets.

Table of Contents

        The primary drivers that led to an increase in net income from 2009 to 2010 were no goodwill impairment charge in 2010 compared to an $80,310 goodwill impairment charge taken in 2009, a reduction in the Company's loan loss provision expense of $11,060, realized gains on sales of investment securities of $1,716, brokerage income of $631, and an increase in service charge income of $925. Offsetting these items was a decrease in mortgage banking income of $1,386 and an increase in employee costs of $3,796. Normal merit increases, the full year effect of the de novo office in Columbus, Indiana, and the full year effect of the branch acquisitions in May 2009 were the reasons for the employee costs increase. The low mortgage interest rate environment during 2009 led to increased refinancing activity in 2009 that subsided during 2010. Key measures of the operating performance of the Company are return on average assets, return on average common shareholders' equity, and efficiency ratio. The Company's return on average assets was 0.85% for 2011 compared to 0.51% for 2010 and (2.19)% in 2009. The Company's return on average common shareholders' equity was 7.44% in 2011 compared to 4.86% in 2010 and (22.6)% in 2009. The Company's efficiency ratio, which measures the non-interest expenses of the Company as a percentage of its net interest income (on a fully taxable equivalent basis) and its non-interest income, was 65.5% in 2011 compared to 62.5% in 2010 and 61.6% in 2009 (excluding the goodwill impairment charge of $80,310).

Net Interest Income

        Net interest income and net interest margin are influenced by the volume and yield or cost of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Tax equivalent net interest income of $107,033 in 2011 slightly decreased from $107,541 in 2010. Net interest margin, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, was 4.23% for 2011 compared to 4.11% for the same period a year ago. The Company was able to match reductions in its yield on earning assets with a corresponding larger reduction in its cost of funds. Over the three year period interest income has continued to decline as decreases in earning assets and yields have had a negative impact on interest income. A significant portion of the Company's CDs matured in 2011 and the Company was able to reprice those deposits to current, lower market rates. The Company was also able to continue to lower the interest paid on deposit accounts. The Federal Reserve Bank continues to target the fed funds rate at 0%-.25%.

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

Non-interest Income

        Non-interest income was $45,308 for 2011 compared to $41,291 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $4,017 or 9.7%. Increases in trust and investment product fees, service charges on deposit accounts, net realized gains on securities sales, and interchange income were the primary causes of the increase. These increases were offset by a reduction in insurance commissions, mortgage banking, losses on OREO property, and other income. The Company realized the full year effect of increasing the number of financial advisors in 2010. A continued emphasis on new account growth yielded additional service charge and interchange income. As a result of favorable pricing, the Company recorded gains during 2011 on the sale of securities at a higher level than 2010. The level of mortgage banking activity leveled off in 2011 from what the Company had experienced in 2010. The reduction of insurance commissions was caused by the sale of the property and casualty book of business during the fourth quarter of 2010. Also in connection with the sale of the property and casualty book of business, the Company recorded a $988 gain in 2010 on the sale. The Company continues to move the Other Real Estate (OREO) property as quickly as possible and incurred additional losses in 2011 as well as write-downs on some of the properties due to the significant changes in the properties' value. The Company obtained up to date appraisals on several properties which resulted in additional charge downs. Non-interest income as a percent of non-interest expense was 45.4% for 2011 compared to 44.8% for 2010.

        Non-interest income was $41,291 for 2010 compared to $40,050 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $1,241 or 3.1%. Increases in trust and investment product fees, service charges on deposit accounts, net realized gains on securities sales, increase in cash surrender value of life insurance and interchange income were the primary causes of the increase. These increases were offset by a reduction in insurance commissions, mortgage banking, and other income. The Company had an increase in the number of financial advisors in 2010 which equated to increased revenue. A continued emphasis on new account growth yielded additional service charge and interchange income. As a result of favorable pricing, the Company recorded gains during 2010 on the sale of securities at a higher level than 2009. The level of mortgage banking activity leveled off in 2010 from what the Company had experienced in 2009 when mortgage rates were at a record low. While the volume of mortgage loans sold decreased from $425 million in 2009 to $278 million in 2010, the average gain on the sale of these loans increased to 1.88% in 2010 from 1.32% in 2009. The reduction of insurance commissions was caused by the sale of the property and casualty book of business during the fourth quarter of 2010. Other Real Estate (OREO) losses were the primary cause of the reduction in other income. ORE losses were $1,097

in 2010 compared to a net gain of $200 in 2009. The Company's intent is to move these properties as quickly as possible. Non-interest income as a percent of non-interest expense was 44.8% for 2010 compared to 23.9% for 2009. The increase was caused primarily by the goodwill impairment charge taken in 2009.

Non-interest Expense

        Total non-interest expense was $99,805 in 2011 compared to $92,252 in 2010, an increase of $7,553 or 8.2%. The increase was primarily attributable to consultant expenses of $6,547 incurred in 2011. During 2011 the Company completed an efficiency project with the aid of a third party consulting firm. Almost all of the Company's departments and corresponding headcount were reviewed, as well as the entire organizational structure of the Company. As a result of the project, approximately 150 full-time equivalent positions were targeted for elimination. The third party consulting firm also recommended various revenue enhancements which may require future payouts if certain targets are achieved. Marketing expense and collection expense increases of $645 and $755 were partially offset by a reduction in the Company's FDIC assessment of $966. The marketing expense increase was due to costs involved in generating new deposit accounts. Collection costs continue to be elevated as the Company is working through its problem credits. As a result of the FDIC changing the assessment base to total assets instead of deposits, the Company's FDIC assessment was lower in 2011.

        Total non-interest expense was $92,252 in 2010 compared to $167,532 in 2009, a decrease of $75,280 and 44.9%. The decrease was primarily attributable to goodwill impairment charges of $80,310 taken in 2009. Offsetting the goodwill impairment charges in 2009 were increases in salaries and employee benefits, equipment, marketing, collection, and other expenses. The largest increase was in the salaries and employee benefits area due to normal merit increases, higher mortgage loan commission expense, the de novo office in Columbus, Indiana, and the full year effect of branch acquisitions in May 2009.

Income Taxes

        The effective tax rate was 13.6% in 2011, 1.6% in 2010, and 15.4% in 2009. The increase in the Company's effective tax rate from 2010 to 2011 was primarily due to an increase in taxable income. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate from 2009 to 2010 was primarily due to an increase in tax exempt income in 2010 and no goodwill impairment charges in 2010. The Company and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns.

Balance Sheet

        At December 31, 2011, total assets were $2,754,180 compared to $2,769,312 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $15 million. Increases in cash ($49) and investment securities ($70) were more than offset by decreases in loans ($144).

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

        Loans remain the Company's largest concentration of assets and continue to represent the greatest potential risk. The loan underwriting standards observed by the Bank are viewed by management as a means of controlling problem loans and the resulting charge-offs. The Company also believes credit risks may be elevated if undue concentrations of loans in specific industry segments and to out-of-area borrowers are incurred. Accordingly, the Company's Board of Directors regularly monitors such concentrations to determine compliance with its loan concentration policy. The Company believes it has no undue concentrations of loans.

        Total loans (excluding those held for sale) decreased by $146,592 from year-end 2010. Approximately 20% of this decrease was in the Company's residential real estate portfolio as on balance sheet fixed-rate residential real estate loans refinanced during the year, and the Company elected to sell these loans to the secondary market (while retaining the servicing for these loans). The remaining decrease in loan balances was primarily due to the following factors: a decrease in construction and development loans as the continued sluggish economy resulted in the Company ceasing the origination of these loans, charge-offs taken during 2011, and the overall decrease in loan demand across all segments. Residential real estate loans continue to represent the largest portion of the total loan portfolio and were 48% of total loans at December 31, 2011 compared to 45% of total loans at the end of 2010.

        The following table details the Company's loan portfolio by type of loan based on FDIC call report codes.

        Loans are placed on "non-accrual" status when, in management's judgment, the collateral value and/or the borrower's financial condition does not justify accruing interest. As a general rule, commercial, commercial real estate, residential, and consumer loans are reclassified to non-accrual status at or before becoming 90 days past due. Interest previously recorded is reversed and charged against current income. Subsequent interest payments collected on non-accrual loans are thereafter applied as a reduction of the loan's principal balance. Non-performing loans were $65,196 as of December 31, 2011 compared to $91,476 as of December 31, 2010 and represented 4.25% of total loans at December 31, 2011 versus 5.44% one year ago.

        At December 31, 2011,only one of the non-accrual loan balances was greater than $1,000 compared to ten loan balances greater than $1,000 at December 31, 2010. These loans are primarily land development and real estate backed loans. The Company is working with these borrowers in an attempt to minimize its losses. In the course of resolving problem loans, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. The Company attempts to work out an alternative payment schedule with the borrower in order to avoid foreclosure actions. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Company to identify if a troubled debt restructuring has occurred, which is when for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status and could include reduction of the stated interest rate, other than normal market rate adjustments, extension of maturity dates, or reduction of principal balance or accrued interest. The decision to restructure a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit us by increasing the ultimate probability of collection. The Company reviews each relationship before it grants the concession to insure the creditor can comply with the new terms. To date, most of the concessions have been extensions of maturity dates. The provision for loan losses was $17,800 in 2011, $35,250 in 2010, and $46,310 in 2009. The Company's provision for loan losses in 2011 was lower than 2010 due to the stabilization of problem credits. New non-accrual loans declined over 35% in 2011. Net charge-offs were $20,516 in 2011 compared to $39,293 in 2010 and $34,245 in 2009. As a percentage of average loans, net charge-offs equaled 1.27%, 2.21%, and 1.73% in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in charge-offs in 2010 was primarily related to the normal progression of problem credits that were previously identified through a work out plan established.

        Potential problem loans are identified on the Company's watch list and consist of loans that require close monitoring by management and are not necessarily considered classified credits by regulators. Credits may be considered as a potential problem loan for reasons that are temporary or correctable, such as for a deficiency in loan documentation or absence of current financial statements of the borrower. Potential problem loans may also include credits where adverse circumstances are identified that may affect the borrower's ability to comply with the contractual terms of the loan. Other factors which might indicate the existence of a potential problem loan include the delinquency of a scheduled loan payment, deterioration in a borrower's financial condition identified in a review of periodic financial statements, a decrease in the value of the collateral securing the loan, or a change in the economic environment in which the borrower operates. Substandard commercial loans that were not classified as non-accrual were $63,379 at December 31, 2011 and $64,455 at December 31, 2010, a slight decrease of $1,076. The Company believes its substandard loans peaked in 2009 when the substandard balance was approximately $70,000. These loans which are $250 or greater are reviewed at least quarterly by senior management. This review includes monitoring how the borrower is performing vs their workout plan, obtaining and reviewing the borrower's financial information, and monitoring collateral values. Management believes these loans were well secured and had adequate allowance allocations at December 31, 2011.

        Management maintains a list of loans warranting either the assignment of a specific reserve amount or other special administrative attention. This watch list, together with a listing of all classified loans, non-accrual loans and delinquent loans, is reviewed monthly by management and the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Company evaluates its consumer and residential real estate loan pools for probable losses incurred based on historical trends, adjusted by current delinquency and non-performing loan levels.

        The Company has both internal and external loan review personnel who annually review approximately 50% of all loans. External loan review personnel examine the top 100 commercial credit relationships. This equates to approximately all relationships above $1,750.

        The ability to absorb loan losses promptly when problems are identified is invaluable to a banking organization. Most often, losses incurred as a result of prompt, aggressive collection actions are much lower than losses incurred after prolonged legal proceedings. Accordingly, the Company observes the practice of quickly initiating stringent collection efforts in the early stages of loan delinquency. During the latter part of 2008, the Company established a separate group to address its deteriorating credit quality. This group consists of seven full-time equivalent employees and reports directly to the Chief Credit Officer of the Company. At the present time, this group is charged with the task of efficiently resolving non-performing credits and disposing of foreclosed properties.

        The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is reviewed at least quarterly. The determination of the provision amount in any period is based upon management's continuing review and evaluation of loan loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, classified loans including non-accrual and impaired loans, current economic conditions, the amount of loans presently outstanding, and the amount and composition of loan growth. The Company's allowance for loan losses was $39,889, or 2.60% of total loans, at December 31, 2011 compared to $42,605, or 2.53% of total loans, at the end of 2010. This $2,716 decrease in the allowance was due in large part to write-offs in 2011 that had an allowance allocated in 2010 and declining loan balances. Although the economy continued to improve in 2011, the housing industry remained pressured due to foreclosures and low sales. Builders and developers continue to struggle with difficult financial conditions. Other borrowers also face similar constraints to cash flow their businesses.

Table of Contents

        As of December 31, 2011, there were no corporate bonds and other securities which represented more than 10% of shareholders' equity.

        For 2011 the tax equivalent yield of the investment securities portfolio was 4.24%, compared to 4.58% and 5.11% for 2010 and 2009, respectively. The average life of the Company's investment securities portfolio was 4.86 years at December 31, 2011. During 2011 the investment portfolio increased slightly in size as the Company's earnings were invested in the portfolio as loan demand remained soft. The extremely low interest rate environment provided a strong opportunity for the Company to maximize portfolio return by strategically realizing market value gains. Cash flows from security sales and normal monthly principal pay downs were reinvested at materially lower yields leading to sizable decline in portfolio yield. The reinvestments were focused on a balanced approach between a likely long term low interest rate horizon and protection against cash flow extensions when rates do move higher. This investment strategy will allow the portfolio to meet cash needs for future loan growth.

        The Company and its investment advisor monitor the securities portfolio on at least a quarterly basis for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"). The amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. During 2010, the Company recorded $97 of impairment charges related to three of its equity securities. These securities were written down to their fair values, as based on the financial condition of the companies, recovery of the fair value above cost could not be readily projected.

Sources of Funds

        The Company relies primarily on customer deposits and securities sold under agreement to repurchase ("repurchase agreements") along with shareholders' equity to fund earning assets. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances are used to provide additional funding. The Company also attempts to obtain deposits through branch and whole bank acquisitions.

        Deposits generated within local markets provide the major source of funding for earning assets. Average total deposits were 87.7% and 86.6% of total average earning assets for 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total interest-bearing deposits averaged 87.0% and 88.5% of average total deposits during 2011 and 2010. Management is continuing its efforts to increase the percentage of transaction- related deposits to total deposits due to the positive effect on earnings.

        Repurchase agreements are high denomination investments utilized by public entities and commercial customers as an element of their cash management responsibilities. During 2011, repurchase agreements averaged $30,404, with an average cost of 0.52%.

        Another source of funding is the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The Company had FHLB advances of $151,427 outstanding at December 31, 2011. These advances have interest rates ranging from 1.8% to 5.9% (see note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for the maturity schedule of these advances). The Company averaged $148,824 in FHLB advances during 2011 compared to $195,897 during 2010. This decrease in the average balance of FHLB borrowings was primarily due to the increased deposits generated by the Company which reduced the need for other funding sources. One final source of funding is federal funds purchased. The Company had no federal funds purchased as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Capital Resources

        The Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory agencies have adopted risk-based capital guidelines that assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items. The Company's core capital ("Tier 1") consists of common shareholders' equity adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on available for sale (AFS) securities plus limited amounts of Trust Preferred Securities less goodwill and intangible assets. Total capital consists of core capital, certain debt instruments and a portion of the allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2011, Tier 1 capital to average assets was 10.8%. Total capital to risk-weighted assets was 18.9%. Both ratios exceed all required ratios established for bank holding companies. Risk-adjusted capital levels of the Company's subsidiary bank also exceed regulatory definitions of well-capitalized institutions.

        The Trust Preferred Securities (which are classified as subordinated debentures) qualify as Tier 1 capital or core capital with respect to the Company under the risk-based capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve. Under such guidelines, capital received from the proceeds of the sale of these securities cannot constitute more than 25% of the total Tier 1 capital of the Company. Consequently, the amount of Trust Preferred Securities in excess of the 25% limitation constitutes Tier 2 capital, or supplementary capital, of the Company. As of December 31, 2011, all of the Company's Trust Preferred Securities qualify as Tier 1 capital.

        Common shareholders' equity is impacted by the Company's decision to categorize its securities portfolio as available for sale (AFS). Securities in this category are carried at fair value, and common shareholders' equity is adjusted to reflect unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes.

        The Company declared and paid common dividends of $.04 per share in 2011 compared to $.04 and $.26 in 2010 and 2009 respectively. Book value per common share increased to $13.87 at December 31, 2011 compared to $12.24 at the end of 2010. The net adjustment for AFS securities increased book value per share by $1.13 at December 31, 2011 and increased book value per share by $.47 at December 31, 2010. Depending on market conditions, the adjustment for AFS securities can cause significant fluctuations in shareholders' equity.

        On January 16, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Treasury (the "Treasury Department") as part of the Treasury Department's Capital Purchase Program. Under this agreement, the Company issued to the Treasury Department 57,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("preferred stock") and a warrant to purchase up to 571,906 shares ("warrant shares") of the Company's common stock. Like stock options, the warrant issued through the Capital Purchase Program is potentially dilutive. The average stock price for the Company for 2011 and 2010 was $8.86 and $7.43 per share respectively, and the warrant issued in 2009 has an exercise price of $14.95 per share. This results in no additional potentially dilutive shares during 2010 and 2011.

        The preferred stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% per year thereafter. The Company may, at its option and at any time, redeem the preferred stock for the liquidation amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. While the preferred stock is outstanding, the Company may only pay dividends on common stock if all accrued and unpaid dividends for the preferred stock have been paid. See Note 27 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details on the Company's participation in the Capital Purchase Program.

Liquidity

        Liquidity management involves maintaining sufficient cash levels to fund operations and to meet the requirements of borrowers, depositors and creditors. Higher levels of liquidity bear higher corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher interest expense involved in extending liability maturities. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents, loans and securities maturing within one year and money market instruments. In addition, the Company holds approximately $867,202 of AFS securities maturing after one year, which can be sold to meet liquidity needs.

        Maintaining a relatively stable funding base, which is achieved by diversifying funding sources, supports liquidity, extends the contractual maturity of liabilities, and limits reliance on volatile short-term purchased funds. Short-term funding needs may arise from declines in deposits or other funding sources, funding of loan commitments and requests for new loans. The Company's strategy is to fund assets to the maximum extent possible with core deposits, which provide a sizable source of relatively stable low-cost funds. The Company defines core deposits as all deposits except certificates of deposits greater than $100. Average core deposits funded approximately 79.5% of total earning assets during 2011 and approximately 76.7% in 2010.

        Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor and creditor needs in the present economic environment. The Company has not received any directives from regulatory authorities that would materially affect liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

        The Bank incurs off-balance sheet risks in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These risks derive from commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements.

Interest Rate Risk Management

        Interest rate risk is the exposure of the Company's financial condition to adverse changes in market interest rates. In an effort to estimate the impact of sustained interest rate movements to the Company's earnings, the Company monitors interest rate risk through computer-assisted simulation modeling of its net interest income. The Company's simulation modeling monitors the potential impact to net interest income under various interest rate scenarios. The Company's objective is to actively manage its asset/liability position within a one-year interval and to limit the risk in any of the interest rate scenarios to a reasonable level of tax-equivalent net interest income within that interval. The Company monitors compliance within established guidelines of the Funds Management Policy. See Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk section for further discussion regarding interest rate risk.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The accounting and reporting policies of the Company comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within the banking industry. These policies require estimates and assumptions. Changes in underlying factors, assumptions, or estimates in any of these areas could have a material impact on the Company's future financial condition and results of operations. In management's opinion, some of these areas have a more significant impact than others on the Company's financial reporting. These areas currently include accounting for the allowance for loan losses, goodwill, income taxes, and mortgage servicing rights.

        Allowance for Loan Losses — The level of the allowance for loan losses is based upon management's evaluation of the loan and lease portfolios, past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. The level of allowance maintained is believed by management to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the portfolio. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.

        Goodwill — Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are subject to annual impairment tests. The Company has selected June 30 as its date for annual impairment testing, but will test more frequently if circumstances warrant. During 2009, the Company determined that goodwill might be impaired and tested it for impairment at May 31, 2009 and November 30, 2009. See Note 9 in the financial statements for further discussion of the goodwill impairment charges taken in 2009. No goodwill impairment was identified during testing performed in 2010 or 2011.

        Income taxes — The Company is subject to the income tax laws of the U.S., its states and the municipalities in which it operates. These tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant government taxing authorities. The Company reviews income tax expense and the carrying value of deferred tax assets; and as new information becomes available, the balances are adjusted as appropriate. In establishing a provision for income tax expense, the Company makes judgments and

31


Table of Contents

interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws and also makes estimates about when in the future certain items will affect taxable income in the various tax jurisdictions.

        Mortgage servicing rights — The Company originally records mortgage servicing rights at fair value and amortizes them over the period of the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. The servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount.

ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        The Company's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee and Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank. Primary market risks, which impact the Company's operations, are liquidity risk and interest rate risk, as discussed above.

        As discussed previously, the Company monitors interest rate risk by the use of computer simulation modeling to estimate the potential impact on its net interest income under various interest rate scenarios. Another method by which the Company's interest rate risk position can be estimated is by computing estimated changes in its net portfolio value ("NPV"). This method estimates interest rate risk exposure from movements in interest rates by using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the change in the NPV of discounted cash flows from assets and liabilities. Computations are based on a number of assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates and prepayments in mortgage loans and certain types of investments. These computations do not contemplate any actions management may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. In addition, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of computing NPV. Should interest rates remain or decrease below current levels, the proportion of adjustable rate loans could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity. In the event of an interest rate change, prepayment levels would likely be different from those assumed in the table. Lastly, the ability of many borrowers to repay their adjustable rate debt may decline during a rising interest rate environment.

        The following tables provide an assessment of the risk to NPV in the event of sudden and sustained 1% and 2% increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates. The table indicates that as of December 31, 2011 the Company's estimated NPV might be expected to increase in the event of a decrease in prevailing interest rates, and might be expected to generally decrease in the event of a increase in prevailing interest rates (dollars in thousands). As of December 31, 2010 the Company's estimated NPV would generally decrease in the event of a decrease in prevailing rates and decrease in the event of an increase in rates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders
MainSource Financial Group, Inc.
Greensburg, Indiana

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MainSource Financial Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. We also have audited MainSource Financial Group, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). MainSource Financial Group, Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

        A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MainSource Financial Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion MainSource Financial Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include MainSource Financial Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, together referred to as "the Company". Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

        The Company's wholly owned subsidiaries include MainSource Bank ("the Bank"), MainSource Title, LLC, MainSource Insurance, LLC, and Insurance Services Marketing, LLC. On October 1, 2010, the Company sold its property and casualty and health insurance book of businesses related to its insurance subsidiary, MainSource Insurance (MSI), to Encore Insurance Group, LLC. This sale did not materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operation. In November 2009, the Company merged MainSource Bank of Illinois into MainSource Bank. On December 2009, the Company merged MainSource Bank — Ohio into MainSource Bank.

        The Company provides financial services through its offices in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts, and its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial, and installment loans. Substantially all loans are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate. Other financial instruments which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold. See the Loan Policy section for further discussion on loan information.

        Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted account principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, carrying value of goodwill, loan servicing rights, other real estate owned and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

        Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with other financial institutions with maturities under 90 days, money market funds and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions, federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements.

        Securities: Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax.

        Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method, which considers prepayments only on mortgage-backed securities. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and are based on the amortized cost of the security sold. The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.

        Loans Held for Sale: Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or market in the aggregate, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings.

        Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the amount allocated to the servicing right. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.

        Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums or discounts, unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.

Table of Contents

        For all classes of financing receivables, interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or payments are past due over 90 days. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

        For all classes of financing receivables, interest accrued but not received for loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Payments received on such loans subsequent to being placed on non-accrual are applied to the principal balance of the loans. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days still on accrual include both smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. Troubled Debt Restructurings, (TDRs), normally follow the same guidelines as regular loans in placing on non-accrual status.

        Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off.

        The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the most recent 3 years. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations

        For allowance purposes, the following portfolio segments have been identified: Commercial, Commercial Real Estate (CRE), Residential Real Estate and Consumer. The classes within the Commercial portfolio are commercial and industrial and agricultural. The classes within the Commercial Real Estate portfolio are farm, hotel, construction and development, and other. The classes within the Residential Real Estate portfolio are 1-4 family and home equity. Finally, the classes within the Consumer portfolio are direct and indirect.

        The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial

        The commercial portfolio contains commercial and industrial and agricultural loans. Commercial loans are made to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases, agricultural financing, or other projects and are repaid from operations of the business. The majority of these borrowers are customers doing business within the Company's geographic regions. Commercial loans are generally underwritten individually and secured with the assets of the company and/or the personal guarantee of the business owners. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Commercial real estate

        Commercial real estate loans consist of loans for income-producing real estate properties and real estate developers. The Company mitigates its risk on these loans by requiring collateral values that exceed the loan amount and underwriting the loan with projected cash flow in excess of the debt service requirement. These loans are made to finance properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, hotels, farm real estate, and retail shopping centers; and are repaid through cash flows related to the operation, sale, or refinance of the property.

Residential real estate

        The residential portfolio contains residential mortgage and home equity loans. Residential mortgage loans represent loans to consumers for the purchase or refinance of a residence. These loans are generally financed over a 15- to 30- year term, and in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence. Residential loans are secured by the residence being financed. For residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity lending includes both home equity loans and lines-of-credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first- or second- lien on the borrower's residence,

allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Consumer

        The consumer portfolio consists of direct and indirect installment loans. The largest percentage of the direct consumer loans are automobile loans and the automobile or other vehicle is normally used as collateral for the loan. The Company no longer writes any indirect loans. These loans are generally financed over a short (3-7 year) time horizon. Similar to the residential loans above, repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

        All loans are charged off when the Company has determined that future collectability of the entire loan balance is doubtful. For commercial and commercial real estate loans, collateral dependent loans are written down to the discounted fair value of the collateral.

        A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and commercial real estate loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures. A specific reserve is established as a component of the allowance when a loan has been determined to be impaired for all commercial and commercial real estate loans greater than $250, unless the loan is a TDR in which case all loans are evaluated for impairment regardless of size.

        Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

        Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 30 to 39 years for buildings and 5 to 15 years for related components. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.

        Foreclosed Assets: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value net of estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines after acquisition, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.

        Company Owned Life Insurance: The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain employees. Company owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.

        Servicing Assets: Servicing rights are recognized separately when they are acquired through sales of loans. When mortgage loans are sold, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in mortgage banking in non-interest income. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

        Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a

41


Table of Contents

particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with mortgage banking on the income statement. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses.

        Servicing fee income, which is reported on the income statement as mortgage banking in non-interest income, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. Servicing fees totaled $2,104, $1,890 and $1,521 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. Late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not material.

        Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement or option to repurchase them before their maturity.

        Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009, is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. The Company has selected June 30 of each year as the date to perform its impairment review. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on the Company's balance sheet.

        Other intangible assets consist largely of core deposit and acquired customer relationship intangibles arising from whole bank and branch acquisitions. They are initially measured at fair value and then are amortized on an accelerated method over their estimated useful lives, generally ten years.

        Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

        Long-term Assets: Premises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.

        Mortgage Banking Derivatives: Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest rate on the loan is locked. The Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Any changes are recorded in mortgage banking on the income statement.

        Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

        A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.

        The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

        Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

        Retirement Plans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching contributions and discretionary contributions, respectively.

        Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share: Basic earnings (loss) per common share is net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share include the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and dividends through the date of issuance of the financial statements.

        Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as a separate component of equity.

        Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are now any such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

        Restrictions on Cash: Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements.

        Equity: Stock dividends in excess of 20% are reported by transferring the par value of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock. Stock dividends for 20% or less are reported by transferring the fair value, as of the ex-dividend date, of the stock issued from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Fractional share amounts are paid in cash with a reduction in retained earnings. Treasury stock is carried at cost.

        Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the banks to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.

        Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a Note 7. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

        Operating Segments: While the Company's chief decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various Company products and services, the identifiable segments are not material and operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company's financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

        Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no affect on prior year net income or shareholders' equity.

    Adoption of New Accounting and Newly Issued but Not Yet Effective Standards:

        In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor's evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The guidance also precludes a creditor from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor's guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. For public companies, this guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment on newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Early adoption was permitted. Additionally, disclosures about troubled debt restructurings that had previously been delayed by the FASB are now required as of the effective date of this guidance. As a result of adopting these amendments, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year (January 1, 2011) for identification as troubled debt restructurings. The result of this reassessment did not identify any material loans that should have been identified as a troubled debt restructuring in prior periods that had not already been identified. The Company identified as troubled debt restructurings certain loans for which the allowance for loan losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for loan losses methodology. Upon identifying those loans as troubled debt restructurings, the Company identified them as impaired under current accounting guidance. The amendments require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance for those loans newly identified as impaired. At the end of the first interim period of adoption (September 30, 2011), the recorded investment in loans for which the allowance for credit losses was previously measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology and are now individually evaluated as impaired loans and the allowance for credit losses associated with those receivables was a minimal amount.

        In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholder's equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. The adoption of

43


Table of Contents

this amendment will change the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Company as part of the consolidated statement of shareholder's equity.

        In September 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance on Testing Goodwill for Impairment. In applying the updated guidance, the entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the entity determines that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying amount the entity will then be required to perform the first of the two step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount or the impairment loss, if any. An entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The updated guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has determined that it will have the resources necessary to perform the required analysis.

NOTE 2 — ACQUISITION

        On May 2, 2009, the Company completed an acquisition of three branches from American Founders Bank ("AFB"). Two branches were located in Frankfort, Kentucky and the third in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Concurrent with this purchase, the Company sold one of its branches in Louisville, Kentucky, to AFB. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, AFB paid the Company approximately $18,400 in cash. The Company expensed approximately $78 of direct acquisition costs and recorded goodwill of $6,002 and $222 of core deposit intangible assets. The core deposit intangible is being amortized on an accelerated basis over 10 years. On the date of acquisition, the Company assumed net deposit liabilities valued at approximately $88,000, acquired a net portfolio of loans valued at approximately $61,000, and premises and equipment valued at $3,000. All loans acquired were performing loans and none were considered to be purchased with credit impairment.

        As a result of this acquisition, the Company has expanded its geographical presence in the state of Kentucky. The Company believes that the acquisition will allow it to increase its customer base to enhance deposit fee income and market additional products and services to new customers.

NOTE 3 — RESTRICTION ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

        The Bank is required to maintain reserve funds in cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The reserves required at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $7,474 and $7,244. The Company had no compensating balance requirements at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment

        Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities are generally evaluated for OTTI under ASC 320. However, certain purchased beneficial interests, including non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized debt obligations, that had credit ratings at the time of purchase of below AA are evaluated using the model outlined in ASC 325-10 (formerly EITF Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transfer in Securitized Financial Assets). The Company holds no securities that fall within the scope of ASC 325-10.

        In determining OTTI under ASC 320, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

        When OTTI occurs under either model, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment's amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

        As of December 31, 2011, the Company's security portfolio consisted of 1,016 securities, 13 of which were in an unrealized loss position. Unrealized losses on state and municipal securities have not been recognized into income because management has the ability to hold for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value and it is unlikely that management will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. The decline in value is primarily attributable to temporary illiquidity and the financial crisis affecting these markets and not the expected cash flows of the individual securities. The fair value of these debt securities is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date.

Table of Contents

        At December 31, 2011, almost all of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value of approximately $0.2 million is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.

        The Company's collateralized mortgage obligation securities portfolio includes agency collateralized mortgage obligations with a market value of $250,767 which had unrealized losses of approximately $25 at December 31, 2011. The Company monitors to insure it has adequate credit support and as of December 31, 2011, the Company believes there is no OTTI and does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery. All securities are investment grade.

        The unrealized losses on other securities are related to one single issue trust preferred security and has not been recognized into income because management has the ability to hold for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value and it is unlikely that management will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. The Company performs a quarterly review of this security and based on this review, no evidence of adverse changes in expected cash flows is anticipated. The decline in value is primarily attributable to temporary illiquidity and the financial crisis affecting these markets and not the expected cash flows of the individual security. Currently, the issuer has made all contractual payments and given no indication that they will not be able to make them into the future.

    Troubled Debt Restructurings

        During the year ending December 31, 2011, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan or an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk.

        Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for periods ranging from 60 months to 30 years. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from 6 months to 14 months.

        A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

        In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the company's internal underwriting policy.

        The Company has allocated $3,013 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2011. The Company has committed to lend additional amounts totaling $0 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings. At December 31, 2010, the comparable numbers were $2,599 of specific reserves and $517 of commitments.

        The terms of certain other loans were modified during year ending December 31, 2011 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. These loans have a total recorded investment as of December 31, 2011 of $5,429. The modification of these loans involved either a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties or a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant.

    Credit Quality Indicators:

        The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes commercial and commercial real estate loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes credit relationships with an outstanding balance greater than $1 million on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

        Special Mention — Loans classified as special mention have above average risk that requires management's ongoing attention. The borrower may demonstrated inability to generate profits or to maintain net worth, chronic delinquency and /or a demonstrated lack of willingness or capacity to meet obligations.

        Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are classified by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

        Non-accrual — Loans classified as non-accrual are loans where the further accrual of interest is stopped because payment in full of principal and interest is not expected. In most cases, the principal and interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more.

NOTE 7 — FAIR VALUE

        Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

        Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

        Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

        Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

        The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair values:

        The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or using market data utilizing pricing models, primarily Interactive Data Corporation (IDC), that vary based upon asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. Matrix pricing is used for most municipals, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. The grouping of securities is done according to insurer, credit support, state of issuance, and rating to incorporate additional spreads and municipal

curves. For the general market municipals, the Thomson Municipal Market Data curve is used to determine the initial curve for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships with the municipal market (Level 2 inputs). Level 3 securities are largely comprised of small, local municipality issuances, single issuer trust preferred securities and certain equity securities for which there are no active trades. Fair values are derived through consideration of funding type, maturity and other features of the issuance, and include reviewing financial statements, earnings forecasts, industry trends and the valuation of comparative issuers.

        The fair value of servicing rights is based on a valuation model that incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. The Company compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. (Level 2 inputs).

        The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

        The fair value of other real estate owned is measured based on the value of the collateral securing those assets and is determined using several methods. The fair value of real estate is generally determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisers typically determine the value of the real estate by utilizing an income or market valuation approach. If an appraisal is not available, the fair value may be determined by using a cash flow analysis (Level 3 inputs).

        Transfers out of Level 3 are primarily due to the availability of Level 2 data. During the middle of 2011, the Company's pricing service no longer priced some municipal securities due to the illiquidity of those securities. These investments are carried at fair value, which approximate book value and classified as Level 3. These securities are monitored by the Company to insure no impairment exists and the issuers are current as to repayment of interest and principal. The Company has no intent or need of selling these investments before maturity. Accordingly, the Company believes the fair value of these securities equals book value at December 31, 2011.

        The methods and assumptions, not previously presented, used to estimate fair value are described as follows.

        Carrying amount is the estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing time deposits, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand and all other transactional deposits, short-term borrowings, variable rate notes payable, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the

estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of FHLB advances and subordinated debentures is based on current rates for similar financing. It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements, and are not considered significant.

        The Company typically tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Impairment exists when a reporting unit's carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, which is determined through a two-step impairment test. Step 1 includes the determination of the carrying value of our reporting units — banking and insurance, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, and estimating the fair value of the reporting units. The Company determined the fair value of its reporting units and compared it to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company is required to perform a second step to the impairment test. Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the impairment loss.

        Testing performed during 2011 provided no indication of potential goodwill impairment. The Company engaged an independent, outside firm during the second and fourth quarters of 2009 to help perform an impairment analysis due to the significant, sustained declines in the Company's market capitalization. The impact of deteriorating economic conditions had significantly impacted the banking industry during 2008 and 2009 and had impacted the financial results of the Company. As a result, the Company concluded that goodwill resulting from the Company's banking acquisitions over the past several years was impaired. There was no indication of impairment related to the insurance reporting unit during either the 2009 second or fourth quarter tests. During 2010, the insurance business was sold, including the associated goodwill of $990.

        In 2009, the Company utilized both the income and market approaches to determine fair value of the banking reporting unit under step 1 of the impairment analysis. The income approach was based on discounted cash flows derived from assumptions of balance sheet and income statement activity. Bank management developed a financial forecast considering several long-term key

60


Table of Contents

business drivers such as anticipated loan and deposit growth. For the market approach, revenue, earnings and market capitalization multiples of comparable public companies were selected and applied to the banking unit's applicable metrics such as book and tangible book values. Based on the results of the step 1 analyses, the Company concluded that the potential for goodwill impairment existed and therefore a step 2 test was required to determine if there was goodwill impairment and the amount of goodwill that might be impaired.

        Step 2 compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill for the reporting unit. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill that is recognized in a business combination. Significant judgment and estimates are involved in estimating the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Significant valuation estimates were the assessment of core deposit intangibles, the mark-to-fair-value of outstanding debt and deposits, and mark-to-fair-value on the loan portfolio. The following highlights some of the key assumptions used in the step 2 valuation as of the fourth quarter 2009. Core deposits were valued using a 15.84% discount rate. The marks on our outstanding debt and deposits were based on modeled prices using current yield curves and market spreads. The valuation of the loan portfolio indicated discounts in the ranges of 0%-25%, depending upon the loan type. Based on the results of goodwill impairment analyses performed by the Company in 2009, a $45,076 goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the second quarter and $35,234 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009.

NOTE 11 — SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENT TO REPURCHASE

        Securities sold under repurchase agreements ("agreements") consist of obligations secured by securities issued by government-sponsored entities, and a safekeeping agent holds such collateral. The balance at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $25,789 and $33,181 respectively. The maximum amount of outstanding agreements at any month-end during 2011, 2010, and 2009 totaled $40,960, $50,513, and $54,975. The daily average of such agreements during 2011, 2010, and 2009 totaled $30,404, $39,737, and $47,312. The weighted average rate was 0.44%, 0.55%, and 0.68% at December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 while the weighted average rate during 2011, 2010, and 2009 was approximately 0.52%, 0.64%, and 0.85% respectively. The majority of the agreements at December 31, 2011 mature within 30 days.

NOTE 12 — FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES

        Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances at year end were as follows:

 
  2011
  2010
 
   

Maturities from May 2012 through May 2022, primarily fixed rates from 1.8% to 5.9%, averaging 3.7%

  $ 151,427      

Maturities from January 2011 through May 2022, primarily fixed rates from 2.5% to 5.9%, averaging 4.0%

      $ 152,065  
       

  $ 151,427   $ 152,065  
       

        The majority of the FHLB advances are secured by first mortgage loans totaling approximately 155% of the advance under a blanket security agreement. The advances are subject to restrictions or penalties in the event of prepayment. Of the $151,427 in advances at December 31, 2011, $120,000 or 79% of the advances contained options whereby the FHLB may convert the fixed rate advance to an adjustable rate advance, at which time the Company may prepay the advance without a penalty. Of the $152,065 in advances at December 31, 2010, $124,000 or 82% of the advances contained such options.

        Required payments over the next five years are:

NOTE 13 — SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

        The Company formed four separate trusts in 2002, 2003, and 2006 that issued floating rate trust preferred securities as part of pooled offerings. The Company issued subordinated debentures to the trusts in exchange for the proceeds of the offerings, which debentures represent the sole asset of the trusts. The Company acquired two trusts from a prior acquisition — Harrodsburg Statutory Trust I and Independence Bancorp Statutory Trust I. In accordance with accounting guidelines, the trusts are not consolidated with the Company's financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability, because the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary of the trusts. The Company's investment in the common stock of the trust was $1,518 and is included in interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest payments are payable quarterly in arrears and the Company has the option to defer interest payments from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters. The subordinated debentures mature in 30 years from issuance and can be called anytime after five years at par. The subordinated debentures may be included in Tier 1 capital (with certain limitations) under current regulatory guidelines and interpretations. The following table summarizes the other terms of each issuance.

NOTE 14 — LOAN SERVICING

        Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Loan servicing fee income was $2,104, $1,890, and $1,521 for 2011, 2010, and 2009. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others totaled $780,388 and $781,673 at December 31, 2011 and 2010. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with serviced loans were $10,423 and $7,403 at year end 2011 and 2010. The weighted average amortization period is 4.2 years. Mortgage servicing rights are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing assets is based on comparable market values and expected cash flows, with impairment assessed based on portfolio characteristics including product type and interest rates. The fair market value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights was estimated at $5,412 and $5,498 at year end 2011 and 2010. Fair value at year-end 2011 was determined using a discount rate of 9%, and prepayment speeds ranging from 231% to 396%, depending on the stratification of the specific right. Fair value at year-end 2010 was determined using a discount rate of 9%, and prepayment speeds ranging from 160% to 373%, depending on the stratification of the specific right.

        The Company has $2,805 of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards, which under current tax law have no expiration period. The Company has general business credit carryforwards of $4,643 that begin to expire in 2027.

        The Company has an Indiana state operating loss carryforward of $102,679, which begins to expire in 2019. The Company maintains a valuation allowance to reduce these carryforward items and other Indiana deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

        A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in the future and in the appropriate taxing jurisdictions. At December 31, 2011, the largest component of deferred tax assets is associated with the allowance for loan losses. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. With the exception of the deferred tax asset associated with the Company's Indiana deferred tax assets, no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets are considered necessary at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

        Retained earnings of certain subsidiary banks include approximately $13,112 for which no deferred income tax liability has been recognized. This amount represents an allocation of income to bad debt deductions as of December 31, 1987 for tax purposes only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than tax bad debt losses including redemption of bank stock or excess dividends, or loss of "bank" status would create income for tax purposes only, which would be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above amount for the Company was approximately $4,589 at each of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

        The Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease in the next twelve months.

        The total amount of interest and penalties recorded in the income statement for the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were $0, $0, and a reduction of $116 respectively, and the amount accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were $0, $0, and $0.

        The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of the states of Indiana and Illinois. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2008.

        The Company is currently under a sales and use tax, income tax, and payroll withholding tax audit for the calendar years of 2009 and 2010 with the state of Indiana. The Company is also currently under audit with the state of Illinois for Illinois business tax for the years 2008 and 2009. The Company does not expect the results of these audits to have a material impact on the financial condition of the Company.

NOTE 17 — COMMITMENTS

        Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs. These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments, although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining collateral at exercise of the commitment.

        Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk as of December 31 were as follows:

Commercial letters of credit

        26,062         22,016  

        Commitments to make loans are generally made for periods of 60 days or less. Interest rates on fixed rate commitments range from 5.00% to 19.8% with maturities ranging from 1 year to 9 years.

NOTE 18 — DIVIDENDS

        The Company's principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year's net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described in Note 20. As a result of the goodwill impairment charges in 2009, the Bank and the Company are not currently able to pay dividends without prior approval. The Company is also limited by the requirements of the U. S. Department of Treasury Capital Purchase Program (See Note 27) and Regulatory Action (See Note 28).

Table of Contents

NOTE 19 — DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

        The Company maintains an Automatic Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The plan enables shareholders to elect to have their cash dividends on all or a portion of shares held automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock. The stock is purchased by the Company's transfer agent on the open market and credited to participant accounts at fair market value. Dividends are reinvested on a quarterly basis.

NOTE 20 — REGULATORY CAPITAL

        Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies and are assigned to a capital category. The assigned capital category is largely determined by three ratios that are calculated according to the regulations. The ratios are intended to measure capital relative to assets and credit risk associated with those assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The capital category assigned to an entity can also be affected by qualitative judgments made by regulatory agencies about the risk inherent in the entity's activities that are not part of the calculated ratios. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Risk adjusted capital levels of the Company's subsidiary bank exceed regulatory definitions of well-capitalized institutions. During the second quarter of 2010, the Bank entered into an agreement with its regulators to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 8% and a total risk based capital ratio of at least 11%. (See Note 28).

        Management believes as of December 31, 2011, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The holding company is a source of additional financial strength with its $8.0 million in cash and its ability to downstream additional capital to the Bank.

        There are five capital categories defined in the regulations, ranging from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized. Classification in any of the undercapitalized categories can result in actions by regulators that could have a material effect on operations. At December 31, 2011and 2010, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective actions. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

        Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below.

        On January 16, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors adopted and approved the MainSource Financial Group, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Stock Incentive Plan") effective upon the approval of the Plan by the Company's shareholders, which occurred on April 26, 2007 at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders. The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock bonuses and restricted stock awards. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. An aggregate of 650,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. Shares issuable under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan may be authorized and unissued shares of common stock or treasury shares. The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan is in addition to, and not in replacement of, a similar plan adopted in 2003 (the "2003 Plan"). However, no further awards of options will be made under the 2003 Plan. Unexercised options, which were previously issued under the 2003 Plan, were not terminated, but continued in accordance with the 2003 Plan and the agreements pursuant to which the options were issued.

        The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company's common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. Employee and management options are tracked separately. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

        The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted average assumptions as of grant date.

Risk-free interest rate

    2.36 %   3.04 %   2.27 %

        As of December 31, 2011, there was $118 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

        During the second quarter of 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted restricted stock awards to certain executive officers pursuant to the Company's annual performance-based incentive bonus plan. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at the issue date. The value of the awards was determined by multiplying the award amount by the closing price of a share of Company common stock on the grant date, April 8, 2011 ($9.68). The restricted stock awards vest as follows — 80% on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 20% on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Additionally, the restricted stock, to the extent vested, will not become transferable until such time as the Treasury Department no longer holds shares of preferred stock of the Company, provided that 25% of the restricted stock will become transferable as each 25% of the preferred stock is repurchased by the Company, and provided further that the grantee will be permitted to sell the stock if necessary to pay any any tax liability resulting from the vesting of the stock. A total of 46,244 shares of restricted common stock of the Company were granted under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan. A total of 391,589 remain to be granted under this plan.

        A summary of changes in the Company's nonvested shares for 2011 follows:

        As of December 31, 2011, there was $340 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan that will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately 2.2 years. The recognized compensation costs related to the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan was $107 and $0 for the 2011 and 2010 respectively.

        During the second quarter of 2011, members of the Board of Directors of the Company were given the option of having their annual retainer paid in cash, Company stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The annual retainer is paid quarterly, on May 1, August 1, November 1, and February 1, for all directors serving on the Board on those dates. Other expense is recognized over the three month period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at the issue dates. The value of the quarterly awards were determined by multiplying the award amount by the average closing price of a share of Company common stock on the five trading days prior to the issuance of the stock ($9.53 for the second quarter payouts, $8.80 for the third quarter payouts, and $9.44 for the fourth quarter). The shares issued vest immediately. A total of 6,750 shares of common stock were granted to directors during the second quarter of 2011. 7,902 shares of common stock were granted to directors during the third quarter of 2011, and 9,130 shares of common stock were granted to directors during the fourth quarter of 2011. A total of $220 was recognized as expense in 2011 for these grants.

NOTE 27 — PREFERRED STOCK

        On January 16, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Treasury (the "Treasury Department") as part of the Treasury Department's Capital Purchase Program. Under this agreement, the Company issued to the Treasury Department 57,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A ("preferred stock"), having a liquidation amount per share of $1,000, for a total price of $57 million and a warrant to purchase up to 571,906 shares ("warrant shares") of the Company's common stock, at an initial per share exercise price of $14.95, for an aggregate purchase price of $8.55 million.

        The preferred stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% per year thereafter. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year. The Company may, at its option and at any time, redeem the preferred stock for the liquidation amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. While the preferred stock is outstanding, the Company may only pay dividends on common stock if all accrued and unpaid dividends for the preferred stock have been paid.

        In addition to the preferred shares, the Treasury Department received a warrant to purchase 571,906 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $14.95. The warrant provides for the adjustment of the exercise price and the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon exercise pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions, such as upon stock splits or distributions of securities or other assets to holders of Company common stock, and upon certain issuances of the Company common stock at or below a specified price relative to the initial exercise price. The warrant has a term of ten years and is currently exercisable. The Treasury Department has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the warrant. Like stock options, the warrant issued through the Capital Purchase Program is potentially dilutive. The average stock price for the Company for 2011 and 2010 was $8.86 and $7.43 per share and the warrant issued in 2009 has an exercise price of $14.95 per share. This resulted in no additional potentially dilutive shares during 2010 or 2011.

NOTE 28 — REGULATORY ACTION

        Effective April 22, 2010, MainSource Bank entered into an informal agreement with the FDIC and Indiana Department of Financial Institutions pursuant to which the Bank has agreed to take various actions and comply with certain requirements. The informal agreement is not a "written agreement" for purposes of Section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Among its terms, the agreement documents an understanding among the Bank, the FDIC and the DFI that requires the Bank to maintain its Tier 1 leverage ratio at a minimum of 8% and its total risk based capital ratio at a minimum of 11%. Additionally, the agreement requires the Bank to continue to obtain the approval of the FDIC and DFI prior to paying a cash dividend from the Bank to the Company, a practice in which the Bank was already engaged. At the time it entered into the agreement and at all times since that date, the Bank exceeded the required minimum capital levels and believes it is in substantial compliance with all other terms of the agreement.

        The agreement will remain in effect until modified or terminated by the FDIC and the DFI. The Company has not and does not expect the actions called for by the agreement to change in any material respect our ongoing efforts to improve the performance of the Bank by reducing non-performing assets and increasing earnings. The Board of Directors and management of the Bank have taken various actions to comply with the agreement, and will continue to take all actions necessary for continued compliance. Compliance with the terms of the agreement has not and is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company or the Bank.

        In connection with its audits for the three most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, there have been no disagreements with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS & PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are, to the best of their knowledge, effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms as of such date.

        Our management has evaluated our internal control over financial reporting and there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        MainSource Financial Group, Inc. (the "Corporation") is responsible for the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments.

        We, as management of the Corporation, are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits and other management testing. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        Management assessed the Corporation's system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting as described in "Internal Control — Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2011, its system of internal controls over financial reporting is effective and meets the criteria of the "Internal Control — Integrated Framework". Crowe Horwath LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report dated March 12, 2012 on the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. This report is incorporated by reference in Item 8 above, under the heading "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm".
