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 June 30, 1999 and 1998 and December 31,
1998, and the results of its operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and its cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.  All prior period
information has been restated for the effects of business
combinations accounted for as pooling-of-interests as discussed
in Note 3.

2.  Net Income Per 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 28, 1999
to shareholders of record on January 7, 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 share and per share data presented herein have been restated
for the effects of the stock dividend and stock split.

Net income on a diluted basis is computed as above and assumes
the conversion of ONB's 8% convertible subordinated debentures
(Note 5).  For the diluted computation, net income is adjusted
for the assumed reduction in interest expense, net of income tax
effect, and additional common shares of 1.7 million year-to-date
and quarter-to-date, are assumed to be issued in connection with
the conversion of the remaining outstanding debentures.

3.   Merger and Divestiture Activity

Completed Mergers

On Januray 29, 1999, ONB and Southern Bancshares LTD (Southern)
of Carbondale, Illinois, consummated a merger in which ONB issued
2,552,436 common shares in exchange for all of the shares of
Southern.  This transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-
interests.  Net income for Southern prior to merger included in
the 1999 statements for the period ended January 29, 1999 was
$332 thousand.

On February 5,1999 ONB and Dulaney Bancorp (Dulaney) of Marshall,
Illinois, consummated a merger in which ONB issued 472,284 common
shares in exchange for all the shares of Dulaney.  This
transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests without
restatement of prior years due to immateriality.

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.  During the second quarter of
1999, contingencies related to the sale were favorably resolved.
Net assets of the entity which were included in other assets were
$71.1 million at June 30, 1998.  Income (loss) from discontinued
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 was as follows ($ in thousands):

                                         ==========    ==========


5.   Borrowings

ONB has outstanding $22.0 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 77.519 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 par value. Beginning September 15, 1998, debenture holders
are entitled to an annual sinking fund contribution of $2.5
million principal amount of debentures less conversions and
redemptions.  The debentures are subordinated in right of payment
to all senior indebtedness of ONB.  As of June 30, 1999, 1.7
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
June 30, 1999, a total of $32.0 million of the notes were
outstanding, with maturities ranging from one to four years and
fixed interest rates of 6.7% to 7.1%.  At June 30, 1998, ONB had
outstanding $32.0 million of medium term notes.

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 June 30, 1999 and 1998, a total of $64.3 million of the
notes were outstanding, with maturities ranging from one to nine
years and fixed interest rates from 6.4% to 7.0%.

As of June 30, 1999, 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 these unaffiliated banks.  As of June
30, 1999, no balance was outstanding under these lines.  As of
June 30, 1998, $13.4 million was outstanding.

                                  8


6.  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 June 30, 1999, ONB has interest rate swaps with a notional
value of $65 million.  The contracts are an exchange of interest
payments with no affect on the principal amounts of the
underlying hedged liability.  The fair value of the swaps were
$(2.1) million as of June 30, 1999.  ONB pays the counterparty a
variable rate based on three-month LIBOR and receives fixed rates
ranging from 5.375% to 7.0%.  The contracts terminate on or prior
to January 28, 2009.
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 counterparties and anticipates that the counterparties
will be able to fully satisfy their obligation under the
agreements.

9.  Impact of Accounting Changes

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, 2000 (January 1, 2001 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.

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 June 30, 1999, as compared to June 30, 1998 and December
31, 1998, and the results of operations from continuing
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998.

Financial Condition
ONB's assets at June 30, 1999 were $6.898 billion, a 10.8%
increase since June 1998 and a 7.5% increase since December 1998.
Earning assets, which consist primarily of money market
investments, investment securities and loans, grew 12.8% over the
prior year.  During the past year, the mix of earning assets
reflected loan growth of 14.3% while money market investments and
investment securities increased a combined 8.9%.  Since December
1998, earning assets increased 7.6% with loans growing 7.4% and
investment securities and money market investments increasing
8.2%.

At June 30, 1999, total under-performing assets (defined as loans
90 days or more past due, nonaccrual and restructured loans and
foreclosed properties) decreased slightly to $22.6 million from
$25.1 million as of December 31, 1998.  As of these dates, under-
performing assets in total were 0.48% and 0.58%, respectively, of
total loans and foreclosed properties.

As of June 30, 1999, the recorded investment in loans for which
impairment has been recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 114
and 118 was $5.3 million with no related allowance and $46.3
million with $9.7 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the average balance of
impaired loans was $50.0 million and $1.6 million of interest was
recorded.

ONB's consolidated loan portfolio is well diversified and
contains no concentrations of credit in any particular industry
exceeding 10% of its portfolio.  ONB has minimal exposure to
construction lending or leveraged buyouts and no exposure in
credits to foreign or lesser-developed countries.

Total deposits at June 30, 1999, increased $180.6 million or 3.9%
compared to June 1998.  Brokered CD's, included in other time,
increased $85.7 million since June 1998.  Since December 1998,

                                  11

total deposits increased $135.4 million or 2.9% with brokered
CD's increasing $146.4 million in this same period.

Short-term borrowings, comprised of Federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-
term borrowings, increased $231.1 million since June 1998 and
$214.4 million since December 1998.  Other borrowings, which is
primarily debt from Federal Home Loan Banks, rose $249.4 million
over June 1998 and $139.8 million over December 1998.

Capital
Total shareholders' equity increased $19.2 million since June
1998 and $9.6 million since December 1998. Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), primarily net unrealized gain (loss)
on investment securities, decreased $25.7 million since June 1998
and $29.1 million since December 1998.

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

</TABLE>

Each of ONB's affiliate banks have capital ratios which exceed
regulatory minimum and well-capitalized guidelines.

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 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 an additional 12 months.  The policy
limit for the maximum negative impact on net interest income over
12 months is 10%.  At June 30, 1999 ONB was well within that limit
as the model's fluctuation was under 2% for the first 12 months
and less than 4% for the total 24 month period.

Using static gap, ONB's rate-sensitive assets at June 30, 1999
were 58% of rate-sensitive liabilities in the 1-180 day maturity
category and 64% in the 181-365 day category.  These figures
compared to 78% and 83% on December 31, 1998 and 78% and 83% on
June 30, 1998.  With strong loan demand and liabilities moving
to shorter time horizons, the static gap percentages have decreased
since year-end.  Subsequent to June 30, ONB lengthened some of its
liabilities.  ONB's funds management committee meets bi-monthly
to closely monitor and effect changes as needed in the
consolidated rate-sensitivity position.

Year 2000

The national and local press have 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 serve 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 serve 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

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations for the six months ended June
30, 1999 was $41.3 million, a 14.1% increase from the same period
1998.  Income from continuing operations for the second quarter
of 1999 was up 16.9% over 1998.  Basic net income from continuing
operations per common share for the second quarter of 1999 and
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $0.46 and $0.89,
respectively.

The company's return on average assets (ROA) for the second
quarter of 1999 was 1.26% compared to 1.19% for 1998. Year-to-
date ROA percentages were 1.25% in 1999 and 1.21% for 1998.
Return on average equity (ROE) for the quarter and the first six
months of 1999 were 16.07% and 16.01%, respectively, excluding
unrealized security gains (losses).  These compared favorably to
1998 ROE results of 14.60% and 14.78% for similar periods. Growth
in net interest income and other income combined with a lower
effective tax rate generated the net income improvements.

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

Year-to-date net interest income for 1999 was $125,845, a 6.1%
increase over 1998. Net interest income for the second quarter of
1999 was $63,928 compared to $59,318 in 1998, a 7.8% increase
over the prior year.  The net interest margin for the second
quarter was 4.03% and 4.20% for 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
year-to-date net interest margin percentage in 1999 was 4.06%
compared to 4.26% in 1998.  The lower net interest margin
resulted from the lower and flatter yield curve and our
investment in bank-owned life insurance discussed in noninterest
income.  Increases in earning assets offset the declining yields
to contribute to an improved net interest income.

                                  13


Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $2.9 million in the second
quarter of 1999 compared to $3.2 million in the second quarter of
1998.  Year-to-date, the provision for loan losses of $5.7
million compared to $6.3 million in 1998.  ONB's net charge-offs
were 0.10% of average loans for the current quarter, compared to
0.23% in the second quarter of 1998.  For the first six months,
net charge-offs were 0.10% in 1999 compared to 0.19% in 1998.

The allowance for loan losses is continually monitored and
evaluated both within each affiliate bank and at the holding
company level to provide 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
1.20% at June 30, 1999 compares to 1.26% in 1998.  The allowance
for loan losses covers all under-performing loans by 2.5 times at
June 30, 1999 compared to 2.1 times at December 31, 1998.

Noninterest Income

Excluding securities gains (losses), noninterest income increased
14.7% in the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the
same period in 1998.  For the first six months, this increase was
11.8%.  Both increases were fueled by several factors. Trust fees
were up 18.0% for the second quarter and 12.5% for the first six
months due to continued development of new and current trust
business. Income from bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies,
purchased in March 1998, generated $1.2 million income in the
second quarter and $2.3 million year-to-date.  Insurance premiums
and commissions increased 14.6% over 1998 for the quarter and
6.0% year-to-date.  Investment product fees rose over 1998 in
excess of 25% for the second quarter and 18.9% year-to-date.  The
security gains of $0.9 million for the quarter and $2.2 million
year-to-date were taken to offset a similar level of non-
recurring charges incurred in connection with the restructuring
of ONB's banks into a single charter.  Most other categories of
noninterest income were comparable to last year's results.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased 11.1% in the first quarter of 1999
compared to 1998 and 9.5% for the first six months.  Salaries and
benefits, together the largest individual component of
noninterest expense, increased 12.2% in the second quarter of
1999 compared to 1998 and 9.7% year-to-date. Most of this
increase was due to additional incentive accruals over prior year
due to the increase in income.  Other expense increased 16.9%
over the second quarter of 1998 and 20.3% year-to-date.  These
increases, primarily professional fees were mainly related to the
restructuring discussed previously. 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 second quarter to 26.5% compared to 30.6%
in 1998. For the first six months, this percentage was 27.1% for
1999 and 30.6% in 1998.  Higher levels of BOLI income and other
tax exempt income, as well as favorable state taxation
developments, helped lower our effective rate in 1999.
