MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION
Old National Bancorp ("ONB") is a multi-bank holding company
headquartered in Evansville, Indiana.  Located in Indiana,
Illinois, and Kentucky, its 26 affiliate banks serve customers
through 125 office locations in both urban and rural markets.  A
complete listing of ONB's affiliate banks is presented on page
10.  These banks provide a wide range of financial services,
such as making commercial and consumer loans; originating and
servicing mortgage loans; issuing and servicing credit cards;
leasing; offering various deposit products; issuing letters of
credit; issuing credit life, accident and health insurance;
providing safe deposit facilities; and providing alternative
investments and brokerage services.

ONB also has eight non-bank affiliates which provide additional
financial or support services incidental to ONB's operations,
including data processing; issuance and reinsurance of credit
life, accident, health, life, property, and casualty insurance;
investment services; fiduciary and trust services; and property
ownership.

FINANCIAL BASIS
The following discussion is an analysis of ONB's operating
results for the years 1996 through 1998 and financial condition
as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and will assist readers of the
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related
footnotes beginning on page 32. Management's forward-looking
statements are intended to benefit the reader, but are subject to
various risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to
differ materially, including but not limited to:(1)economic
conditions generally and in the market areas of the company;
(2)increased competition in the financial services industry;
(3)actions by the Federal Reserve Board and changes in interest
rates; and (4)governmental legislation and regulation.

The financial information has been restated to reflect mergers
accounted for as pooling-of-interests as if they had occurred at
the beginning of the first year presented.  Purchases have been
included in reported results from the date of the transaction.

During 1998, ONB sold the operations and related auto loans of
its consumer finance subsidiary headquartered in Indianapolis.
The sale and the operations prior to the sale resulted in a $9.9
million loss on discontinued operations, net of tax, in 1998. The
financial results of the discontinued operations in prior periods
are similarly broken out from ONB's continuing operations. The
net assets of the subsidiary are included in other assets on the
consolidated balance sheet for periods prior to the sale.  The
following discussion and analysis of ONB's financial condition
and results of operations relates to its continuing operations.
For further details regarding the discontinued operations, see
the consolidated financial statements and Note 2.

Tax-exempt interest income in the following information has been
increased to an amount comparable to interest subject to income
taxes using the federal statutory rate in effect of 35% for all
periods.  An offsetting increase of the same amount is made in
the income tax section of the Selected Financial Data.  Net
income is unaffected by these taxable equivalent adjustments.

COMPETITION AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The banking industry and related financial service providers are
highly competitive.  ONB competes not only against other local
and regional banking institutions, thrifts, finance companies,
and credit unions, but also money market mutual funds, investment
brokers, and insurance companies.  This competition takes place
in terms of interest rates on loans and deposits, convenient
locations and hours, types of services, and quality of service.

                         12

In most of its markets, ONB and its affiliates rank first or
second in volume of loans and deposits.

The economy in the United States and in the Midwest has been
characterized by relatively low inflation and unemployment, and
steady growth.  Recent signs of weaknesses include a rise in
consumer delinquency and bankruptcy levels and low commodity
prices in the agricultural sector.  While ONB's numerous markets
vary, its major markets have demonstrated economic expansion and
a growing financial base with additions such as the new Toyota
and AK Steel manufacturing complexes.

US Government long-term interest rates which rose in 1996
declined in 1997 and 1998. Short-term rates changed less
dramatically, though the Federal funds rate was lowered three
times in the fall of 1998. Despite this trend, certificate of
deposit rates generally increased during 1997, but began to move
down more in 1998.  Prime rate stayed fairly constant with
minimal movement, but followed the Federal funds rate shift
downward in 1998.  A flattening of the yield curve occurred
throughout 1998. Normally, the rate on U.S. Government securities
increases as the term lengthens, however by year-end 1998, the
yield on a six month bill was virtually the same as a five year
note. The combination of these factors applied pressure on the
spreads financial institutions earn between their assets, loans
and securities, and their liabilities, deposits and debt.  This
is discussed further as it pertains to ONB in the Net Interest
Income section.

MERGER ACTIVITY
In 1997 and 1998 ONB did not complete any banking acquisitions.
During 1998, ONB agreed to merge with Southern Bancshares
Ltd.("Southern"), Carbondale, Illinois and Dulaney
Bancorp,Inc.("Dulaney"), Marshall, Illinois.  As of December 31,
1998, Southern had total assets of $255 million and Dulaney's
total assets were $39 million.  Both mergers were consummated in
the first quarter of 1999 and accounted for as pooling-of-
interests.

These financial statements have been restated to reflect the
Southern merger.  The Dulaney merger was not considered material
and is not reflected in these financial statements.

YEAR 2000
The national and local press has devoted much coverage to the
Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue, also know as the "Millennium Bug".  This
refers to the possibility that some computers may be unable to
recognize the date change at the turn of the century.  With the
high volume of transactions and electronic data, the banking
industry requires extensive computer capabilities to service its
customers.  With that in mind, ONB has devoted much attention to
its systems to prepare itself for the millennial change.

ONB has successfully completed its Y2K compliance testing of its
mission-critical computer systems and its core processing systems
used to service its customers.  Besides maintaining this status,
ONB is managing its third party system relationships, updating
disaster and contingency plans, and testing nonmission-critical
software.  Renovation and testing of software and hardware may
not remove all risks related to Y2K.  Alternative methods to
perform key activities will be addressed through contingency
planning.

There has been no significant financial impact to ONB as a result
of the Year 2000 project.  ONB's 1998 Y2K expenses were less than
$500 thousand.  Much of ONB's software is externally generated
with minimal internal software. Much of the software and hardware
items have been changed, upgraded, or replaced in preparation for
Y2K and have been part of the normal maintenance.  While the
company will continue testing and implementing secondary systems
and replacing certain personal computers through 1999, it does
not expect any material impact on earnings associated with these
Y2K compliance efforts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INCOME
ONB earnings rose 8.9% to reach $74.1 million in 1998, a $6.0 million
increase. Shareholders' basic income per share for 1998 was $1.61, up 9.5%
over 1997, and diluted earnings per share totaled $1.57, a 9.8% increase
over 1997.  Strong noninterest income growth and continued net interest
income improvement combined to generate the earnings growth in 1998. The
specific effects of each of these factors are discussed in the following
paragraphs.

ONB's 1997 net income was $68.1 million, up 8.6% or $5.4 million above 1996
earnings.  Strong net interest income growth of $8.8 million and excellent
noninterest expense control growth offset a $2.5 million loan loss
provision increase.

NET INTEREST INCOME
As a financial intermediary, ONB pays interest on deposits and other
liabilities and receives interest and fee income on earning assets, such as
loans and investments.  The difference between the income earned and the
interest paid is net interest income which provides nearly 80% of ONB's net
revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income).  Net interest
margin is net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, expressed as
a percentage of average earning assets.  Incorporating the tax savings on
certain assets permits comparability.

The net interest margin is influenced by a number of factors, such as the
volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources, the interest rate
environment and income tax rates.  The level of earning assets funded by
interest-free funding sources (primarily noninterest-bearing demand
deposits and equity capital) also impacts net interest margin.  ONB can
control the effect of some of these factors through its management of
credit extension and interest rate sensitivity, both of which are discussed
in detail later in this report.  External factors, such as the overall
condition of the economy, credit demand strength, Federal Reserve Board
monetary policy and changes in tax laws, can also have significant effect
on changes in net interest income from one period to another.

On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest income in 1998 grew $7.3
million or 3.1% over 1997.  Average earning assets grew $355.5 million or
6.6%, during 1998.  Much of this growth was funded by interest-bearing
liabilities which increased $340.7 million or 7.2%.  Other assets, which
averaged $314.2 million in 1998, included the net assets of the
discontinued finance company's operations discussed earlier and the cash
surrender value of bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI")explained in the
Noninterest Income section. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $16.6
million or 3.5% and other liabilities and equity provided an additional
$41.7 million of funding.  Several factors combined to lower ONB's net
interest margin to 4.17% in 1998.  The yield on earning assets decreased 13
basis points to 8.21% which reflected the lower rate environment.  The cost
of interest-bearing liabilities declined only 2 basis points to 4.60% as
growth occurred in higher-rate liabilities.  Approximately 7 basis points
of the lower net interest margin was due to the purchase of BOLI which
generates tax-free noninterest income, but is not in net interest income.
ONB's mix of earning assets continued the shift to higher yielding loans
which rose $357.9 million (9.6%) and comprised over 70% of our total
earning assets.  Overall, loans yielded 8.79%, a 14 basis point decrease,
due to lower rate environment.  Investment security balances remained
fairly consistent with 1997 as the yield decreased 24 basis points to 6.76%
due to prepayments and lower reinvestment rates.  Money market investments
rose $7.0 million, yet still comprise under 1% of the total earnings
assets.  ONB's interest-bearing deposits grew $117.5 million or 3.0%.
Traditional products, such as NOW, savings and money market deposits,
declined 1.0% in 1998.  Certificates of deposit over $100,000 and other
time deposits both grew over $65 million to help fund ONB's asset growth.
Borrowed funds also funded the asset growth and increased $223.1 million.

During 1997, net interest income rose 3.9% or $8.8 million and totaled
$232.0 million. Average earning assets grew 6.7%, a $338.8 million
increase.  Interest-bearing liabilities rose $367.4 million or 8.5%. The
growth in average other assets represents primarily the net assets of the
discontinued consumer finance subsidiary. Net interest margin declined from
4.42% to 4.31%. The yield on earning assets increased 2 basis points to
8.34% due to loan growth and improved investment yields.  The cost of
interest-bearing liabilities rose 9 basis points to 4.62% due to market
influences and an increased usage of longer term deposits and nondeposit
funding.

Table 1 on page 16 details the changes in the components of net
interest income.  Table 2 on page 16 attributes those fluctuations to
the impact of changes in the average balances of assets and liabilities and
the yields earned or rates paid.  Table 3 on page 17 presents a three
year average balance sheet and for each major asset and liability category,
its related interest income and yield or its expense and rate.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT- INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY
Customer preferences for loans and deposits generate certain levels of net
interest income and interest rate risk, which is the impact changing
interest rates have on net interest income.  Asset/liability management's
goal is to maximize and maintain adequate growth of net interest income
within certain interest rate sensitivity and liquidity guidelines
established by ONB's Funds Management Committee.  This committee and
similar committees at the affiliate banks monitor these guidelines on a
consolidated basis and at the bank level.

ONB uses both static gap and income simulation methods to measure the
impact of interest rate changes on its net interest income. Static gap,
measured at a point in time, measures interest rate risk as the difference
between interest rate-sensitive assets and interest rate-sensitive
liabilities within a given repricing period and is expressed as a ratio and
as a dollar amount known as the "gap." A ratio of 100% suggests a balanced
position between rate-sensitive assets and liabilities within a given
repricing period.  While the measurement process and related assessment of
risk are somewhat imprecise, ONB believes its asset/liability management
program allows adequate reaction time for trends in the market place as
they occur, thereby minimizing the potential negative effect of its gap
position against the event of interest rate changes.

Table 4 below reflects ONB's interest rate sensitivity position within
specified time periods and cumulatively over various time horizons.  In the
table, assets and liabilities are placed in categories based on their
actual or expected repricing date.  A significant percentage of ONB's
assets and liabilities reprice within 180 days.  In the 365 day cumulative
time frame, the assets to liabilities ratio was 83%, down from 86% in 1997.
Asset growth was primarily in time horizons greater than one year while
liability growth was slightly more in periods under one year.

Net interest income simulation modeling is used 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 which allow ONB to generate strong net interest income while
controlling and monitoring interest rate risk.  ONB simulates a gradual
change in rates of 200 basis points up or down over 12 months and sustained
for additional 12 months.  Key model assumptions include prepayment speeds;
changes in market conditions, loan volumes, and pricing; deposit
sensitivity; and customer preferences and are inherently uncertain.  The
model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or the impact of
interest rate changes.  Actual results will differ from the simulated
results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes,
changes in market conditions, management strategies, among other factors.
ONB's policy limit for the maximum negative impact on net interest income
over 12 months is 10%.  At December 31, 1998, ONB was well within that
limit as the model's fluctuation was under 1% for the first 12 months and
less than 2% for the total 24 month period.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
In addition to the interest rate sensitivity the Funds Management Committee
monitors the company's liquidity position.  The objective is to ensure the
ability to meet cash flow needs of customers, such as new loan demand and
deposit withdrawals, while at the same time maximizing lending and
investment opportunities.

Failure to properly manage liquidity requirements may result in the need to
satisfy customer withdrawals and other obligations with expensive funding
sources.  Too much liquidity on the balance sheet can also be undesirable
as earnings will suffer due to underutilized resources.  ONB's affiliates
maintain adequate liquidity with sufficient levels of liquid assets,
unpledged securities, deposit growth, and other alternative  funding
sources, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB").

The parent company's sources of liquidity include: lines of credit, capital
markets, and  affiliate banks' dividends which are subject to regulatory
limits and in some cases require regulatory approval.  Note 10 and 13 of
the consolidated financial statements address this further.  At year-end
1998 ONB had $72.8 million in available lines of credit from unaffiliated
banks. ONB has capacity to issue up to $85.7 million of a $150 million
medium term note program available for future liquidity needs.  At December
31, 1998, these securities were rated Baa1 by Moody's and BBB+ by Standard
and Poor's.

The Funds Management Committee also monitors the quality of the investment
portfolio by establishing guidelines for the types and quality of
securities acceptable for purchase. ONB has a consistent, conservative
investment strategy.   Any exceptions to these guidelines must be approved
by the committee.  The committee reviews the quality of the portfolios on a
regular basis, especially the obligations of corporations and state and
political subdivisions.



NONINTEREST INCOME
Besides net interest income, ONB's earnings are enhanced by its ability to
generate noninterest income from both core business and newer initiatives,
such as investments products and insurance. ONB continuously strives to
improve its noninterest income performance.  Noninterest income, excluding
securities transactions, grew 15.4% in 1998 compared to 9.0% in 1997.

The trust company's fee income grew 11.5% in 1998 and 16.0% in 1997 and
benefited from an expanding revenue base of managed customer assets and
strong financial markets.  Service charges on deposit accounts grew 2.3% in
1998 compared to 4.7% in 1997 as previously new pricing structures have
been fully implemented over the past several years. Management regularly
reviews these fees and compares them against competition in each separate
market and among affiliate banks.  Loan servicing fees were fairly
consistent between the periods with 5.0% growth in 1998. Bank-owned life
insurance revenue, a new initiative, represents income on officers' life
insurance coverage and totaled $3.9 million in 1998.  Insurance sales hit
$5.2 million, up 8.2% in 1998, though down from 16.7% growth in 1997.
Investment and brokerage business increased 6.1% in 1998 with revenue
reaching $5.0 million, compared to 14.3% growth in 1997. The remaining
other income category was up $1.2 million and included loan sale gains.

ONB realized minimal net securities gains during 1998, 1997, and 1996 as
ONB has generally minimal security sales.  During 1996, ONB sold a portion
of its Student Loan Marketing Association stock, resulting in a gain.

Table 5 below presents changes in the components of noninterest income for
the years 1996 through 1998.

 NONINTEREST EXPENSE
The banking industry continues to look for efficiency improvements.  The
challenge is to achieve cost efficiencies while still providing quality
customer service. Several ratios are used to evaluate performance, with
lower percentages representing positive trends.  ONB's efficiency ratio,
which is net interest income tax equivalized plus noninterest income,
excluding securities gains, divided by noninterest expense, was 56.38% in
1998 and 56.11% in 1997 and 57.92% in 1996. The increase in 1998 was mostly
merger costs related to the transactions closed in January, 1999.  ONB's
net overhead ratio, noninterest expense less noninterest income divided by
average assets, showed more dramatic improvement with 1.78% in 1998, 1.88%
in 1997 and 2.04% in 1996. Total noninterest expense grew 5.9% in 1998
compared to an 1.2% increase in 1997.

Salaries and benefits, which comprised over 50% of total noninterest
expense, grew 4.6% in 1998 and 4.4% in 1997. Besides normal salary
increases in 1998, incentives rose by $2.2 million.  Equipment expense rose
7.6% in 1998 partially due to accelerated depreciation on equipment to be
upgraded.  Marketing expense increased 4.9% in 1998 after no increase in
1997.  In 1997 FDIC insurance premiums dropped $2.3 million after the one-
time recapitalization charge in 1996 for SAIF-insured deposits which was
$2.5 million for ONB affiliate banks. Other expense grew 15.3% in 1998
after minimal growth in 1997.  The increase was primarily in professional
fees which were similar to 1996 levels and outside services due to the
outsourcing of credit card processing in 1998.

the years 1996 through 1998.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
ONB records a provision for income taxes currently payable and for income
taxes payable in the future which arise due to timing differences in the
recognition of certain items for financial statement and income tax
purposes.  The major differences between the effective tax rate applied to
ONB's financial statement income and the federal statutory rate are caused
by interest on tax-exempt securities and loans and state income taxes.
ONB's effective tax rate was 28.5% in 1998, 29.9% in 1997, and 29.6% in
1996.  See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional
details of ONB's income tax provision.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

OVERVIEW
Total assets reached $6.4 billion at December 31, 1998, 8.1% higher
than the prior year-end. Loans increased $438.4 million or 11.2%. Total
liabilities grew $464.3 million or 8.5% over 1997.  Deposits rose 3.3% or
$147.8 million while other sources funded the remainder of the asset
growth.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities at December 31, 1998 comprised 25% of total assets
and were up $29.7 million, 1.9% over 1997. The growth occurred chiefly in
U.S. Government agency and municipal securities where better yield and
spread opportunities existed during the year.

While it does not actively trade its investment securities, ONB has
classified all securities as available-for-sale to maximize flexibility to
adapt to interest rate changes.  The principal and interest payments along
with the ability to liquidate, if necessary, available-for-sale securities
provide funding to help meet unforeseen liquidity needs.  The entire
portfolio has an approximate weighted average maturity of 4.2 years.

At December 31, 1998, ONB held investment securities issued by the certain
states and their political subdivisions with the following aggregate market
value: $75.0 million by Indiana and $74.6 million by Illinois.  There were
no other concentrations of investment securities issued by an individual
state and its political subdivisions which were greater than 10% of
shareholders' equity.

Average yields on the investment securities portfolio are calculated on a
taxable equivalent basis.  Yields are based on the amortized cost and are
weighted for the scheduled maturity of each investment. At year-end,
average yields for the entire portfolio were 6.94% in 1998, 7.18% in 1997,
and 7.11% in 1996.  The portfolio yield decline reflected the lower
reinvestment rates experienced in 1998.

Table 8 below presents the maturity distribution of the investment
portfolio, along with weighted average yields thereon.

LENDING AND LOAN ADMINISTRATION
The key to ONB's success has long been its credit culture which features
decision-making near the customer with corporate oversight.  Affiliate loan
personnel have the authority to extend credit under guidelines established
and administered by ONB's Credit Policy Committee.  This committee, which
meets quarterly, includes members of ONB's executive management and, on a
rotating basis, outside members of the Board of Directors and affiliate
bank management. The committee monitors credit quality through its review
of information such as delinquencies, problem loans, and charge-offs.  The
committee regularly reviews the loan policy to assure it remains
appropriate for the current lending environment.   Executive and credit
committees at the banks provide additional knowledge, judgment, and
experience to ONB's lending administration.

ONB maintains an independent corporate loan review program.  Its loan
review system evaluates loan administration, credit quality, loan
documentation, compliance with corporate loan standards, and the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses.  This program includes periodic on-site
visits as well as regular off-site reviews of problem loan reports,
delinquencies, and charge-offs.

ONB's affiliates lend to commercial customers in various industries
including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling,
and retailing.  ONB's policy is to concentrate its lending activity in the
geographic market areas it serves, primarily Indiana, Illinois, and
Kentucky.   ONB has no concentration of loans in any single industry
exceeding 10% of its portfolio nor does its portfolio contain any loans to
finance speculative transactions, such as large, highly leveraged buyouts
or loans to foreign countries.

The 11.2% loan growth in 1998 was reflected in most major categories.
Commercial real estate led the loan types with a 23.9% increase after 14.0%
growth in 1997.  Commercial loans rose 14.5% following 11.1% in 1997.  In
1998 commercial loans include a $60.7 million loan on the sale of ONB's
consumer finance subsidiary which will mature April 1999.  Residential real
estate loans grew 10.8% in 1998 and 10.0% in 1997.  Consumer credit
declined 5.2% in 1998, similar to 1997.  The portfolio is well diversified
with 24% of the portfolio in commercial loans, 22% in commercial real
estate, 39% in residential real estate, and 16% in consumer credit.

ONB's commercial lending is primarily to small to medium-sized businesses
in various industries in its region.  Commercial real estate loans are
generally made to similar companies in ONB's geographical area.  These
industries have been stable in ONB's market area and provide opportunities
for growth.  A significant percentage of commercial and financial loans are
due within one year, reflecting the short-term nature of a large portion of
these loans.  Table 9 on page 24 presents the maturity distribution and
rate sensitivity of loans and an analysis of loans with predetermined and
floating interest rates.

Residential real estate loans, primarily 1-4 family properties, represent
the most significant portion of the loan portfolio.  ONB's portfolio
includes both adjustable rate and higher yielding, fixed rate loans.

Consumer loans include automobile loans, personal and home equity loans and
lines of credit, student loans, and credit card loans.

Loans in most categories have grown steadily over the past four years.
Commercial loans increased an average of 6.1% per year between 1994 and
1998.  Commercial real estate grew 15.2% and residential real estate loans
grew 9.0% over the same period.  Consumer loans remained relatively
unchanged.  Table 10 on page 24 presents the composition of the loan
portfolio for each of the last five years.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly
basis at both the affiliate and holding company levels.  This evaluation is
based on reviews of specific loans, changes in the loan type and volume of
the portfolios given current and anticipated economic conditions, and
historical loss experience.  Loans are charged off when they are deemed
uncollectible.

Charge-offs, net of recoveries, totaled $9.4 million in 1998, compared to
$8.0 million in 1997 and $10.4 million in 1996 with elevated consumer
charge-offs in 1996.  Recognizing the changing nature and risk of consumer
lending, management reevaluated its underwriting policies in 1997.
Management believes the revised policies more appropriately address the
risk in the consumer area, and the lower subsequent charge-off levels
reflected efforts to manage this risk.  Net charge-offs to average loans
have consistently ranged from 0.21% to 0.30% for the last five years.

ONB makes monthly provisions at levels deemed necessary to provide
assurance that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb
estimated losses in the loan portfolio.  For homogeneous loans, such as
residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card, provision levels are
determined using historic loss factors.  For non-homogeneous loans,
management allocates specific losses to loans in the highest risk
categories with provisions for the remainder of the portfolio using
historic loss factors.  In addition, provisions reflect other risks
affecting the loan portfolio, such as economic conditions in the geographic
area, specific industry financial conditions, experience of lending staff
and borrower risk associated with Year 2000.  The provision for loan losses
was $12.2 million in 1998, slightly lower than the $13.6 million in 1997,
but greater than the $11.1 million in 1996.

Assets determined by the various evaluation processes to be under-
performing receive special attention by ONB and the affiliate banks. Under-
performing assets consist of: 1) nonaccrual loans where the ultimate
collectibility of interest is uncertain, but the principal is considered
collectible; 2) loans which have been renegotiated to provide for a
reduction or deferral of interest or principal because the borrower's
financial condition deteriorated; 3) loans with principal or interest past
due ninety (90) days or more; and 4) foreclosed properties.  Each month,
problem loan reports are prepared and reviewed at both the affiliate and
holding company levels. These reports include loans which show signs of
being unable to meet debt obligations in the normal course of business,
carry other characteristics deemed by bank management to warrant special
attention, or have been criticized by regulators in the examination
process.  Besides the loans classified as under-performing, management
closely monitors loans totaling $105.0 million at December 31, 1998, for
the borrowers' ability to comply with present repayment terms.  For these
loans the existing conditions do not warrant either a partial charge-off or
classification as nonaccrual.  Management believes it has taken a
conservative approach in its evaluation of under-performing credits and the
loan portfolio in general, both in acknowledging the portfolio's general
condition and in establishing the allowance for loan losses.

Under-performing assets as of year-end totalled $25.1 million in 1998 and
$20.1 million in 1997.  As a percent of total loans and foreclosed
properties, under-performing assets at December 31 were fairly consistent
with 0.58% in 1998, 0.51% in 1997, and 0.56% in 1996.  The growth in
nonaccruals in 1998 reflected a conservative nonaccrual policy and not a
general deterioration of the portfolio.  At December 31, 1998, the
allowance for loan loss to under-performing assets ratio was 206.72%,
comparable to 244.47% in 1997 and 215.45% in 1996.  Said in another way, in
1998 ONB had set aside $2.07 for every dollar of under-performing assets.

December 31, for the last five years.

Interest income of approximately $1.5 million would have been recorded in
1998 on nonaccrual and restructured loans if such loans had been accruing
interest throughout the year in accordance with their original terms.  The
amount of interest income actually recorded in 1998 on nonaccrual and
restructured loans was $0.4 million.

DEPOSITS
Customer deposits provide the core funding needs and include noninterest-
bearing demand, regular savings and NOW accounts, money market accounts,
and small denomination certificates of deposit. Average core deposits
increased 1.6% in 1998 compared to the 2.3% in 1997. Other time deposits
increased over 3% in both 1998 and 1997 and demand deposits rose 3.5% in
1998.  Money market deposits declined in both 1998 and 1997 after a special
promotion in 1996.

BORROWINGS
Other short-term sources of funds include overnight borrowings from other
financial institutions, securities sold under agreements to repurchase
which generally mature within 30 days, and borrowings under U.S. Treasury
demand notes.  Borrowings from FHLB include both short- and long-term
maturities. Medium term notes and convertible subordinated debentures
provide longer term funds.

Collectively, the average short-term borrowings decreased $9.2 million or
2.2% in 1998. Short-term rates on borrowings adjusted more slowly than long-
term rates which made long-term funding more attractive.

Table 15 below presents the distribution of ONB's short-term borrowings and
the weighted average interest rates thereon for each of the last three
years.

                         28
In 1997 ONB registered a $150 million medium term note program and issued
$10 million in 1998 and $54.3 million in 1997.  These borrowings, combined
with prior issuances, totaled $96.3 million at December 31, 1998 and have a
weighted average effective interest rate of 6.81% with maturities between
2000 and 2007.  The funds were used to reduce ONB's lines of credit.

Holders of ONB's 8% convertible debentures converted principal amounts of
$8.4 million in 1998 and $0.2 million in 1997.  These conversions resulted
in the issuance of common stock shares totaling 415,597 in 1998 and 7,727
in 1997 with an offsetting increase in shareholders' equity.


CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' equity reached $519.6 million or 8.1% of total assets at
December 31, 1998, and $500.6 million or 8.4% at December 31, 1997.  ONB
paid $0.58 cash dividends per share in 1998 which totaled $26.0 million
(restated for the 5% stock dividend paid in January 1999 and the stock
split paid in May 1999).

Treasury shares were repurchased to provide shares for reissuance under
ONB's dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan and stock dividends.
Treasury shares repurchased reduced shareholders' equity by $46.7 million
in 1998 and $36.4 million in 1997.  Shares reissued pursuant to the above
programs and in connection with conversions of ONB's subordinated
debentures added to shareholders' equity $25.1 million in 1998 and $9.7
million in 1997.

ONB and the banking industry are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can elicit certain mandatory actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
ONB's financial statements.  Capital adequacy in the banking industry is
evaluated primarily by the use of ratios which measure capital against
assets and certain off-balance-sheet items.  Certain ratios weight these
assets based on risk characteristics according to regulatory accounting
practices.  At December 31, 1998, ONB and it affiliate banks exceeded the
regulatory minimums and met the regulatory definition of well-capitalized.
ONB's capital ratios and the regulatory guidelines are presented in Table
16 below.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT


MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial
statements and related financial information appearing in this
annual report.  The financial statements and notes have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and include some amounts which are estimates based
upon currently available information and management's judgment of
current conditions and circumstances.  Financial information
throughout this annual report is consistent with that in the
financial statements.

SYSTEM OF INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS
Management maintains a system of internal accounting controls
which is believed to provide, in all material respects,
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss
from unauthorized use or disposition, transactions are properly
authorized and recorded, and the financial records are reliable
for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability
for assets.  In addition, ONB has a corporate code of conduct
under which employees are to maintain high levels of ethical
business standards.  All systems of internal accounting controls
are based on management's judgment that the cost of controls
should not exceed the benefits to be achieved and that no system
can provide absolute assurance that control objectives are
achieved.  Management believes ONB's system provides the
appropriate balance between costs of controls and the related
benefits.

In order to monitor compliance with this system of controls, ONB
maintains an extensive internal audit program.  Internal audit
reports are issued to appropriate officers and significant audit
exceptions, if any, are reviewed with management and the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors.

AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD
The Board of Directors, through an Audit Committee comprised
solely of outside directors, oversees management's discharge of
its financial reporting responsibilities.  The Audit Committee
meets regularly with the Company's independent public
accountants, Arthur Andersen LLP, and the managers of internal
auditing and loan review.  During these meetings, the committee
has the opportunity to meet privately with the independent public
accountants as well as with internal audit and loan review
personnel to review accounting, auditing, loan, and financial
reporting matters.  The appointment of the independent public
accountants is made by the Board of Directors upon the
recommendation of the Audit Committee.

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The financial statements in this annual report have been audited
by Arthur Andersen LLP, for the purpose of determining that the
financial statements are presented fairly in all material
respects.  Arthur Andersen's report on the financial statements
appears on page 31.  Their audit included a consideration of
ONB's system of internal accounting controls, for the purpose of
setting the scope and timing of their auditing procedures.

           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF OLD NATIONAL BANCORP:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Old National Bancorp (an Indiana corporation) and affiliates as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1998.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Corporation's management.  Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Old National Bancorp and affiliates as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

OLD NATIONAL BANCORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Old National Bancorp ("ONB") and its wholly-owned
affiliates and have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within
the banking industry.  Such principles require management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.  The statements have been restated to reflect mergers
accounted for by the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.
A summary of the more significant accounting and reporting
policies used in preparing the statements is presented below.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
ONB, a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Evansville,
Indiana, operates in Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky.  Through
its bank and non-bank affiliates, ONB provides to its customers
an array of financial services including loan, deposit, trust,
investment, and insurance products.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
ONB has classified all investments as available-for-sale.
Accordingly, these securities are recorded at fair value with the
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effect, recorded as a
separate component of shareholders' equity.  Realized gains and
losses affect income and the prior fair value adjustments are
reversed.

Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using
the interest method over the period to maturity.  Gains and
losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are
determined using the specific-identification method.


LOANS
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding.  Interest
income is accrued on the principal balances of loans outstanding,
except on discounted loans which are recognized using other
methods that generally approximate the interest method.  A loan
is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or
interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and
in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as
to the ultimate collection of principal or interest.  Interest
accrued during the current year on such loans is reversed against
earnings.  Interest accrued in the prior year, if any, is charged
to the allowance for loan losses.

As an element of managing interest rate risk exposure, certain
ONB affiliate banks pre-sell fixed rate mortgage loans to third
parties.  At December 31, 1998, approximately $2.1 million of
such mortgage loans were held and carried at cost which
approximated market value.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the
consolidated loan portfolio.  Management's evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of
individual loans, the risk characteristics of the various
categories of loans given current economic conditions and other
factors such as historical loss experience, the financial
condition of the borrower, and fair market value of the
collateral and growth of the loan portfolio.  The allowance is
increased through a provision charged to operating expense.
Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance.
Recoveries of loans previously charged off are added to the
allowance.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that
contractual interest and principal payments will not be collected
either for the amounts or by the dates as scheduled in the loan
agreement.  ONB's policy for recognizing income on impaired loans
is to accrue interest unless a loan is placed on nonaccrual
status.

                         36

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation.  Depreciation is charged to operating expense over
the useful life of the assets, principally on the straight-line
method.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while
major additions and improvements are capitalized.

OTHER ASSETS
Real estate properties acquired as a result of foreclosure are
valued at the lower of the recorded investment in the related
loan or fair value of the property less estimated cost to sell.
The recorded investment is the sum of the outstanding principal
loan balance, any accrued interest which has not been received,
and acquisition cost associated with the loan.  Any excess
recorded investment over the fair value of the property received
is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  Any subsequent
write-downs are charged to expense, as are the costs of operating
the properties.  Such costs are not material to ONB's results of
operation.

Total acquisition costs over the fair value of net assets
acquired was $15.2 million at December 31, 1998 and is being
amortized on the straight-line basis over periods ranging from 20
to 25 years.  The recoverability of such assets and their
carrying value are periodically evaluated.

NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
each year, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends (Note 9) and
all mergers accounted for as pooling-of-interests as if they had
occurred at the beginning of the earliest year presented.
Diluted net income per share is computed as above and assumes the
conversion of outstanding subordinated debentures (Note 10).
Below is a table reconciling basic and diluted earnings per share
("EPS").

INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities at income tax rates currently in effect.
For ONB, this results in a net deferred tax asset which relates
principally to differences in the recognition of loan losses for
book and tax purposes.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the ordinary course of business, ONB's affiliate banks have
entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting
of commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card
arrangements, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters
of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the
financial statements when they become payable.

                         37

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS DATA
For the purpose of presentation in the accompanying Statement of
Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash, due
from banks, and money market investments.  Cash paid during the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996, for interest was
$227.2 million, $212.5 million, and $196.0 million, respectively.
Total income tax payments during 1998, 1997, and 1996, were $24.2
million, $26.6 million, and $25.8 million, respectively.

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1998, ONB adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which establishes standards
for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components.

Effective January 1, 1998, ONB adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which
establishes standards for reporting information on operating
segments.

The adoption of both above statements did not have a material
impact on ONB's financial condition or its results of operations.

In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities."  This statement requires that all derivative
instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period
in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on
whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction
and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction.  The statement is
effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999 (January 1, 2000 for ONB).  ONB doesn't
expect the impact of this statement will be material to the
results of operations or its financial position, due to its
limited use of derivative instruments.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
the 1998 presentation.  Such reclassifications had no effect on
net income.



NOTE 2 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Mergers-Pending

On May 27, 1998, ONB and Southern Bancshares LTD ("Southern") of
Carbondale, Illinois, executed a definitive merger agreement.
ONB will issue common shares in exchange for all of the
outstanding common shares of Southern.  The transaction will be
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.  As of December 31,
1998, Southern's financial statements reflected $254.6 million in
total assets, net loans of $190.1 million, total deposits of
$225.5 million and net income for the twelve months then ended of
$2.4 million.  This merger was consummated on January 29, 1999
and is included in these financial statements.

On October 29, 1998, ONB and Dulaney Bancorp ("Dulaney") of
Marshall, Illinois, executed a definitive merger agreement.  ONB
will issue common shares in exchange for all of the outstanding
common shares of Dulaney.  The transaction will be accounted for
as a pooling-of-interests.  As of December 31, 1998, Dulaney's
financial statements reflected $38.9 million in total assets, net
loans of $19.5 million, total deposits of $31.8 million and net
income for the twelve months then ended of $339 thousand.  This
merger was consummated on February 5,1999 but is not included
in these financial statements due to materiality.

Discontinued Operations

In April 1998, ONB announced it would look at exit strategies
from its sub-prime lending affiliate, Consumer Acceptance
Corporation (CAC).  During June 1998, ONB finalized the sale of
CAC's sub-prime auto loans, which closed in July 1998.  ONB has
accounted for this entity as discontinued operations on the
consolidated financial statements.  Net assets of the entity
which were included in other assets were $79.2 million at
December 31, 1997. The loss on discontinued operations included
interest expense of $2.6 million in 1998, $2.3 million in 1997,
and $1.1 million in 1996.  Interest expense was directly
attributable to the debt associated to this business unit.
Income (loss) from discontinued operations for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 were as follows ($ in

Through its affiliates, ONB makes loans to customers in various
industries including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation,
mining, wholesaling, and retailing, predominately in its tri-
state region.  The loan portfolio is diversified with no single
industry exceeding 10% of the total.

Executive officers and directors of ONB and significant
subsidiaries and their related interests are loan customers of
ONB's affiliate banks in the normal course of business.  These
loans are made on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same
time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties and
involve no unusual risk of collectibility.  An analysis of the
1998 activity of these loans is as follows ($ in thousands):

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments," requires entities to disclose the fair value of
financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and
not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, for which it is
practicable to estimate fair value.  The following methods and
assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each type of
financial instrument.

CASH, DUE FROM BANKS AND MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS
For these instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
For investment securities, fair values are based on quoted market
prices, if available.  For securities where quoted prices are not
available, fair value is estimated based on market prices of
similar securities.

LOANS
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash
flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to
borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining
maturities.

DEPOSITS
The fair value of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and
savings, NOW, and money market deposits is the amount payable as
of the reporting date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity
certificates of deposit is estimated using rates currently
offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase generally have an original term to maturity of 30 days
or less and, therefore, their carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of fair value.

OTHER BORROWINGS
The fair value of FHLB borrowings and medium term notes is
estimated using rates currently offered for obligations with
similar remaining maturities. The fair value of subordinated
debentures is estimated using rates currently available to ONB
for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Loan commitments and standby letters of credit are generally
short-term and therefore, their carrying amount is a reasonable
estimate of their fair value.

The estimated carrying and fair values of ONB's financial
instruments at December 31, 1998, are as follows ($ in
thousands):

PROFIT SHARING PLAN
ONB has a profit sharing plan for all employees who have
completed one year of service.  Contributions to the plan are
made when certain consolidated profit conditions are met.
Additionally, employees may participate by contributing a
percentage of their salary, a portion of which is matched by ONB.
ONB's profit sharing expense for the years 1998, 1997, and 1996
was $4.5 million, $4.5 million, and $4.0 million, respectively.

RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN
ONB has a restricted stock plan which covers certain officers of
ONB and its affiliates.  Shares are earned each year based on the
achievement of net income targets.  Shares vest over a four-year
period.  Unvested shares are subject to certain restrictions and
risk of forfeiture by the participants.  In accordance with the
plan, shares vesting were 49,722 in 1998, 42,237 in 1997, and
34,251 in 1996.  Expense recorded in 1998, 1997, and 1996 was
$1.9 million, $1.2 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.

                         43

NOTE 9 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCK DIVIDEND
A 5% stock dividend was declared on December 10, 1998, and
distributed on January 28, 1999. On April 15, 1999,a three-for-
two stock split was declared to shareholders of record on May 3,
1999. The dividend was paid on May 24, 1999. All average share
and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect
this stock dividend and stock split.


DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
ONB has a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan under
which common shares issued may be either repurchased shares or
authorized and previously unissued shares.  As of December 31,
1998, 500 thousand authorized and unissued common shares were
reserved for issuance under the plan.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
ONB has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan whereby one right was
distributed for each outstanding share of ONB's common stock.
The rights become exercisable on the tenth day following a public
announcement that a person has acquired or intends to acquire
beneficial ownership of 20% or more of ONB's outstanding common
stock.  Upon exercising the rights, the holder is entitled to buy
1/100 of a share of Junior Preferred Stock at $60 for every right
held.  Upon the occurrence of certain events, the rights may be
redeemed by ONB at a price of $.01 per right.

In the event an acquiring party becomes the beneficial owner of
20% or more of ONB's outstanding shares, rights holders (other
than the acquiring person) may purchase two shares of ONB common
stock for the price of one share at the then market price.  If
ONB is acquired and is not the surviving corporation, or if ONB
survives a merger but has all or part of its common stock
exchanged, each rights holder will be entitled to acquire shares
of the acquiring company with a value of two times the then
exercise price of the rights for each right held.




NOTE 10 - FINANCING ACTIVITIES

LINES OF CREDIT
At December 31, 1998, ONB had $80.0 million in unsecured lines of
credit with unaffiliated banks with $72.8 million unused.  The
lines bear interest at the bank's federal funds rate plus 60 to
80 basis points.  During the years 1998, 1997, and 1996, the
average interest rates on the lines were 6.25%, 6.26%, and 6.17%,
respectively.  The lines of credit include various arrangements
to maintain compensating balances or pay fees to maintain the
line.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK
At December 31, 1998, ONB had $511.6 million borrowed from
various Federal Home Loan Banks ("FHLB").  Floating-rate
borrowings totaled $53.3 million and will mature in 1999.  The
remaining borrowings have a fixed interest rate and mature
between 1999 and 2018.  The weighted average rates of the FHLB
borrowings were 5.25% and 5.96% at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.  A portion of these borrowings was secured by
specific mortgage loans and securities which have a current book
values of approximately $465 million and $48 million,
respectively.  FHLB requires collateral values up to 167% of the
amount borrowed.

MEDIUM TERM NOTES
ONB has registered Series A Medium Term Notes in the principal
amount of $50 million.  The series has been fully issued.  At
December 31, 1998, a total of $32 million of the notes were
outstanding with maturities ranging from two to five years and
fixed interest rates ranging from 6.70% to 7.10%.

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.
At December 31, 1998, a total of $64.3 million of the notes were
outstanding, with maturities ranging from four to nine years and
fixed interest rates from 6.40% to 7.03%

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
ONB has outstanding $22.0 million of 8% convertible subordinated
debentures outstanding which are due September 15, 2012, unless
previously converted or redeemed.  The debentures are convertible
into shares of ONB common stock at a conversion rate of 77.519
shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures.  During 1998,
$8.4 million principal amount of debentures was converted into
415,597 shares of ONB common stock.

Interest on the debentures is payable 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.  Debenture
holders are entitled to an annual sinking fund beginning
September 15, 1998, of $2.5 million less conversions and
redemptions.  The debentures are subordinated in right of payment
to all senior indebtedness of ONB.  At December 31, 1998, 1.7
million authorized and unissued common shares were reserved for
conversion of the remaining debentures.


                         44

NOTE 11 - INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS

ONB uses interest rate contracts such as interest swaps and caps
to manage its interest rate risk.  These contracts are designated
as hedges of specific assets and liabilities.  The net interest
receivable or payable on swaps is accrued and recognized as an
adjustment to the interest income or expense of the hedged asset
or liability.  The premium paid for an interest rate cap is
included in the basis of the hedged item and is amortized as an
adjustment to the interest income or expense on the related asset
or liability.

At December 31, 1998, ONB had an interest rate swap with a
notional value of $20 million.  The contract is an exchange of
interest payments with no effect on the principal amounts of the
underlying hedged liability.  The fair value of the swap contract
was $0.3 million at December 31, 1998.  ONB pays the counterparty
a variable rate based on three-month LIBOR and receives a fixed
rate of 6.50%.  The contract terminates on or prior to March 13,
2008.

At December 31, 1998, ONB had an interest rate cap agreement
("cap") with a notional amount of $8 million with no fair value.
This cap is indexed to LIBOR with a strike price of 5.00% and
matures in 1999.  The carrying value at December 31, 1998, was
$0.1 million.

ONB is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its
payments under a contract in which ONB is in the receiving
position.  Although collateral or other security is not obtained,
ONB minimizes its credit risk by monitoring the credit standing
of the couterparties and anticipates that the counterparties will
be able to fully satisfy their obligation under the agreements.


NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES
ONB rents certain premises and equipment under operating leases
which expire at various dates.  Many of these leases require ONB
to pay property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance, and other
costs.  In some cases, rentals are subject to increase in
relation to a cost-of-living index.  Total rental expense was
$4.0 million in 1998, $3.9 million in 1997, and $3.9 million in
1996.


Following is a summary of future minimum lease commitments ($ in
thousands):

1999               $3,168             2002               $2,179
2000                2,550             2003                1,679
2001                2,363             2004 and after      1,288




LETTERS AND LINES OF CREDIT
In the normal course of business, ONB's banking affiliates have
entered into various agreements to extend credit, such as loan
commitments of $1,019.9 million, including $584.0 million of
short-term commitments with fixed-rates, and letters of credit of
$36.6 million at December 31, 1998.  These commitments are not
reflected in the consolidated financial statements.  No material
losses are expected to result from these transactions.



LITIGATION
At December 31, 1998, various legal actions and proceedings were
pending against ONB and its affiliate banks.  These actions and
proceedings are incidental to the banking business and are not
expected to have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated
financial position or results of operations of ONB or its
affiliates.

NOTE 13 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS

RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
ONB's affiliate banks are required to maintain reserve balances
on hand and with the Federal Reserve Bank which are noninterest
bearing and unavailable for investment purposes.  The reserve
balances at December 31, 1998 and 1997, were $24.1 million and
$27.3 million, respectively.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS FROM AFFILIATE BANKS
Regulations limit the amount of dividends an affiliate bank can
declare in any year without obtaining prior regulatory approval.
At December 31, 1998, affiliate banks could pay aggregate dividends
to ONB of approximately $7.1 million without prior regulatory
approval.  Such approval has been regularly provided as all
affiliate banks exceeded the regulatory definition of
well-capitalized.
