Old National Bancorp
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Old National Bancorp and its affiliate entities (ONB).  All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  In the opinion
of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all the normal
and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position
of ONB as of September 30, 1997 and 1996 and December 31, 1996, and the
results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996.  All prior period information has been restated for the effects of
business combinations accounted for as pooling-of-interests.


2. Net Income Per Common Share

Net income per common share computations are based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.  A 5% stock
dividend was paid January 29, 1997 to shareholders of record on January 8,
1997.  All share and per share data presented herein have been restated for
the effects of this stock dividend.

4. Borrowings

ONB has outstanding $30.4 million of 8% convertible subordinated debentures
which are due September 15, 2012, unless previously converted or redeemed.
The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity into shares of
common stock of ONB at a conversion rate of 46.875 shares for each one
thousand dollars principal amount of debentures.  Interest on the debentures
is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year.  The debentures are
redeemable in whole or in part at the option of ONB at a premium to par value.
Beginning September 15, 1998, debenture holders are entitled to an annual
sinking fund of $2.5 million principal amount of debentures annually less
conversions and redemptions.  The debentures are subordinated in right of
payment to all senior indebtedness of ONB.  As of September 30, 1997, 1.4
million authorized and unissued common shares were reserved for conversion of
the debentures.

ONB has registered Series A Medium Term Notes in the principal amount of $50
million. The series has been fully issued.  As of September 30, 1997, a total
of $44 million of the notes were outstanding, with maturities ranging from one
to six years and fixed interest rates ranging from 6.1% to 7.0%.


                                 6


ONB also has registered Medium Term Notes in the principal amount of $150
million.  These notes may be issued with maturities of nine months or more and
rates may either be fixed or variable.  As of September 30, 1997, a total of
$49.3 million of the notes were outstanding, with maturities ranging from five
to ten years and fixed interest rates from 6.4% to 7.0%.

As of September 30, 1997, ONB has $80 million in unsecured lines of credit
with unaffiliated banks.  These lines of credit include various informal
arrangements to maintain compensating balances.  The compensating balances are
maintained for the benefit of the parent company by affiliate banks which
normally maintain correspondent balances with unaffiliated banks.  As of
September 30, 1997, $25.4 million was outstanding under these lines bearing
interest rates that averaged 6.24%.

5. Impact of Accounting Changes

Effective January 1, 1997, ONB adopted certain provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  This
statement provides accounting standards for sales, securitization, and
servicing of receivables, and other financial assets, secured borrowing and
collateral transactions, and the extinguishment of liabilities.  Certain other
provisions of this statement are not effective until January 1, 1998.

The adoption of the above statement did not have a material impact on ONB's
financial condition and its results of operations.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (EPS).  This statement establishes standards for
computing and presenting EPS.  The statement is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  ONB doesn't
expect the impact to be material to its EPS calculation.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components.  The FASB also issued SFAS No. 131, " Disclosures about
segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which establishes standards
for reporting information on operating segments.  These statements are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  ONB doesn't
expect the impact of these statements to be material to its disclosures.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management's discussion and analysis is presented to provide
information concerning the financial condition of ONB as of September 30,
1997, as compared to September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996, and the results
of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997
and 1996.

Financial Condition

ONB's total assets at September 30, 1997 were $5.61 billion, a 7.1% increase
over the prior year and a 4.6% increase from December 31, 1996.  Earning
assets, which consist primarily of money market investments, investment
securities and loans, rose 8.1% over the prior year and a 5.6% increase since
year-end.  During the past year, the mix of earning assets has remained steady
with loans growing 7.3% while investment securities and money market
investments combined increased 9.9%.  Since year-end, loans increased 5.5%
compared to a 5.6% increase in investment securities and money market
investments. The continued loan growth reflects the generally healthy
economies in our tri-state market areas.

At September 30, 1997, total risk assets (defined as loans 90 days or more
past due, nonaccrual and restructured loans and foreclosed properties) totaled
$26.8 million, which compares to $22.3 million as of December 31, 1996.  As of
these dates, risk assets in total were 0.72% and 0.63%, respectively, of total
loans and foreclosed properties.  The majority of this increase in the 90 day
and over category was consumer loans from ONB's consumer finance company which
is in its first full year of operation.

                                       ====               ====

As of September 30, 1997, the recorded investment in loans for which
impairment has been recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 114 and 118 was
$4.0 million with no related allowance and $43.1 million with $11.2 million of
related allowance.

ONB's policy for recognizing income on impaired loans is to accrue earnings
unless a loan becomes nonaccrual.  When loans are classified as nonaccrual,
interest accrued during the current year is reversed against earnings;
interest accrued in the prior year, if any, is charged to the allowance for
loan losses.  Cash received while a loan is classified nonaccrual is recorded
to principal.



                                  8

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the average balance of impaired
loans was $54.7 million and $2.4 million of interest was recorded.

ONB's consolidated loan portfolio is well diversified and contains no
concentrations of credit in any particular industry.  A concentration
generally exists when more than 10% of total loans outstanding are to
borrowers of the same industry.  ONB has minimal exposure to construction
lending or leveraged buyouts and no exposure in credits to foreign or lesser-
developed countries.

Total deposits at September 30, 1997, grew $130.7 million or 3.2% from
September 30, 1996 and decreased $4.3 million or 0.1% since year-end.

Short-term borrowings, comprised of Federal funds purchased, securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings, increased
$161.6 million since September 1996 and $179.3 million since December 1996.
This increase helped fund asset growth and offset the decline in deposits
since year-end.

Capital

Total shareholders' equity increased by $13.6 million since September 1996 and
$11.1 million since December 1996.

ONB's consolidated capital position remains strong as evidenced by the
following comparisons of key industry ratios:

   Total Assets

</TABLE>

Each of ONB's affiliate banks have capital ratios which exceed regulatory
minimums.

Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management

ONB continually monitors its liquidity and actively manages its
asset/liability position.  The purpose of liquidity management is to match the
sources of funds with anticipated customer borrowings and withdrawals and
other obligations.  The primary purpose of asset/liability management is to
minimize the effect on net income of changes in interest rates and to maintain
a prudent match within specified time periods of rate-sensitive assets and
rate-sensitive liabilities.

ONB also uses net interest income simulation modeling to better quantify the
impact of potential interest rate fluctuations on net interest income.  With
this understanding management can best determine possible balance sheet
changes, pricing strategies, and appropriate levels of capital and liquidity

                                  9


which allows ONB to generate strong net interest income while controlling and
monitoring interest rate risk.

As of September 30, 1997, ONB's rate-sensitive assets were 78% of rate-
sensitive liabilities in the 1-180 day maturity category and 87% in the 181-
365 day category.  These figures compared to 85% and 89% on December 31, 1996
and 75% and 90% on September 30, 1996.  These positions are within acceptable
ranges as determined from time-to-time by management.  ONB's funds management
committee meets bi-monthly to closely monitor and effect changes as needed in
the consolidated rate-sensitivity position.

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $49.0 million, a
9.6% increase from the same period 1996.  Net income for the third quarter of
1997 was up 12.8% over 1996.  Primary net income per common share for the
third quarter of 1997 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
$0.63 and $1.84, respectively.

The company's return on average assets (ROA) for the third quarter of 1997 was
1.20%.  This was an increase over the 1.15% for the same period in 1996. Year-
to-date ROA percentages were 1.20% in 1997 compared to 1.17% for 1996.  Return
on average equity (ROE) for the quarter and the first nine months of 1997 were
14.70% and 14.45%, respectively, excluding unrealized security gains(losses).
These compare favorably to 1996 ROE results of 12.97% and 13.16% for similar
periods.  Growth in net interest income generated the net income improvements.

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin (taxable equivalent basis)

Year-to-date net interest income for 1997 was $174,351 a 8.0% increase over
1996.  Net interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $59,005 compared
to $55,600 in 1996, an 6.1% increase over the prior year.  The net interest
margin for the third quarter was 4.47% and 4.56% for 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  The year-to-date net interest margin percentage in 1997 was
4.50% compared to 4.46% in 1996.  Year-to-date increases in earning assets
contributed to the improved net interest income.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $5.9 million in the third quarter of 1997
compared to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 1996.  Year-to-date, the
provision for loan losses of $13.4 million compares to $7.3 million in 1996.
ONB's net charge-offs were 0.67% of average loans for the current quarter,
compared to 0.45% in the third quarter of 1996.  For the first nine months,
net charge-offs as a percent to average loans were 0.45% in 1997 compared to
0.25% in 1996.  While ONB's banks have increased their provision in 1997, the
consumer finance company is in its first full year of operation and it has
experienced chargeoff and provision levels higher than the company's
traditional banking operations.

The allowance for loan losses is continually monitored and evaluated both
within each affiliate bank and at the holding company level to provide

                                 10


adequate coverage for potential losses.  ONB maintains a comprehensive loan
review program to provide independent evaluations of loan administration,
credit quality, loan documentation, and adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses.  The allowance for loan losses to end-of-period loans of 1.28% at
September 30, 1997 compares to 1.26% in 1996.  The allowance for loan losses
covers all under-performing loans by 2.4 times at September 30, 1997 compared
to 2.7 times at December 31, 1996.

Noninterest Income

Excluding securities gains (losses), noninterest income increased 5.5% in the
three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.
For the first nine months, this increase was 5.9%.  Both increases were fueled
by an increase in trust fees which were up 10.8% for the third quarter and
11.5% the first nine months and service charges which increased 3.7% and 5.1%
for the quarter and nine months ended.  Most other categories of noninterest
income were comparable to last year's results.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense decreased 1.5% in the third quarter of 1997 compared to
1996.  For the first nine months noninterest expense increased 3.0% from 1996.
Salaries and benefits, together the largest individual component of
noninterest expense, increased 2.9% in the third quarter of 1997 compared to
1996.  For the first nine months, this percentage increased 6.9%.  This
increase arose primarily from the combination of a new subsidiary, Consumer
Acceptance Corporation, which was formed in the second quarter of 1996 and
accelerated incentive accruals in 1997 due to the stronger results during the
first nine months.  Equipment expense was up 4.6% quarter-to-quarter and 8.1%
year-to-year.  Additional depreciation has resulted from updating computer
systems during installation of a wide-area-network (WAN).  The FDIC insurance
expense on deposits dropped significantly from 1996 to 1997 for the quarter
and year-to-date.  During the third quarter in 1996, the FDIC charged a one-
time recapitalization premium for SAIF-insured deposits.  Most other
categories of noninterest expense experienced relatively small changes between
the years.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of pre-tax income, decreased
in the third quarter to 27.5% compared to 29.6% in 1996.  For the first nine
months, this percentage was 29.4% for 1997 and 30.3% in 1996.
