Old National Bancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Old National Bancorp and its affiliate entities ("Old
National").  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 Old National as of March 31, 2000 and 1999 and
December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and its cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  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, 2000
to shareholders of record on January 7, 2000. All share and per
share data presented herein have been restated for the effects of
the stock dividend.

Net income on a diluted basis is computed as above and assumes
the conversion of Old National'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 1.0 million
year-to-date, are assumed to be issued in connection with the
conversion of the remaining outstanding debentures.

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

5.    Borrowings

Old National has outstanding $12.7 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 Old
National at a conversion rate of 81.395 shares for each one
thousand dollars principal amount of debentures.  Interest on the

                                  7

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 Old National 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 Old National.  As
of March 31, 2000, 1.0 million authorized and unissued common
shares were reserved for conversion of the debentures.

Old National has registered Series A Medium Term Notes in the
principal amount of $50 million.  The series has been fully
issued.  As of March 31, 2000, a total of $24.5 million of the
notes were outstanding, with maturities ranging from one to three
years and fixed interest rates of 6.9% to 7.0%.  At March 31,
1999, Old National had outstanding $32.0 million of medium term
notes.

Old National also has registered Medium Term Notes in the
principal amount of $150 million.  $85.7 million of notes are
available for issuance at March 31, 2000.  These notes may be
issued with maturities of nine months or more and rates may
either be fixed or variable.  As of March 31, 2000, a total of
$59.3 million of the notes were outstanding, with maturities
ranging from two to seven years and fixed interest rates from
6.4% to 7.0%. At March 31, 1999, Old National had $64.3 million
outstanding.

As of March 31, 2000, Old National has $75 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 March 31, 2000 and 1999, no balance was outstanding under
these lines.

6. Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Company's
Subordinated Debentures

During March 2000, Old National issued $50 million of trust
preferred securities through a subsidiary Old National Capital
Trust I.  The trust preferred securities have a liquidation
amount of $25 per share with a cumulative annual distribution
rate of 9.5%, or $2.375 per share, payable quarterly, and
maturing on March 15, 2030.

Old National may redeem the subordinated debentures and thereby
cause a redemption of the trust preferred securities in whole (or
in part from time to time) on or after March 15, 2005, or in
whole (but not in part) following the occurrence and continuance
of certain adverse federal income tax or capital treatment
events.

Costs associated with the issuance of the trust preferred
securities totaling $1.8 million were capitalized and are being
amortized through the maturity date of the securities. The
unamortized balance is included in other assets in the
consolidated balance sheet.

7. Interest Rate Contracts

Old National uses interest rate contracts such as interest swaps
to manage its interest rate risk.  These contracts are designated
as hedges of specific assets and liabilities.   The net interest

                                  8

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 March 31, 2000, Old National has interest rate swaps with a
notional value of $75 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
$(4.4) million as of March 31, 2000.  Old National 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 May 3, 2009.

Old National is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make
its payments under a contract in which Old National is in the
receiving position.  Although collateral or other security is not
obtained, Old National 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.

The charter consolidation during 1999 impacted the internal
reporting and makes prior year's financial data not comparable to
the new format.

10.  Impact of Accounting Changes

In June 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 Old National). SFAS No.
133 expands the derivative definition which Old National is
currently reviewing to determine its application.  Due to its
limited use of traditional derivative instruments, Old National
does not expect the impact of this statement to be material to
the results of operations or its financial position.

11.  Merger and restructuring charges

During the first quarter, Old National closed two mergers,
finalized the charter consolidation efforts which began in 1999
and recorded related merger and restructuring charges of $22.5
million.  Included in these charges were merger related costs,
system conversion costs, balance sheet restructuring, elimination
of duplicate or unnecessary facilities, centralization of certain
support functions and personnel severance costs related to these
items.  The components of the charges are shown below ($ in
thousands).

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 Old
National as of March 31, 2000, as compared to March 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

Financial Condition
Old National's assets at March 31, 2000 were $8.181 billion, a
7.9% increase since March 1999 and a 4.7% increase since December
1999.  Earning assets, which consist primarily of money market
investments, investment securities and loans, grew 7.5% over the
prior year.  During the past year, the mix of earning assets
reflected loan growth of 12.8% while money market investments and
investment securities decreased a combined 7.0%. Half of the
decrease in investments was due to the decrease in fair market
value of the investment portfolio.  Since December 1999, earning
assets increased 6.3% with loans growing 12.2% and investment
securities and money market investments decreasing 3.0%.

At March 31, 2000, total under-performing assets (defined as
loans 90 days or more past due, nonaccrual and restructured loans
and foreclosed properties) increased slightly to $31.7 million
from $28.6 million as of December 31, 1999.  As of these dates,
under-performing assets in total were 0.54% and 0.50%,
respectively, of total loans and foreclosed properties.

                                March 31,         December 31,
                                  2000               1999
Nonaccrual loans                 $21,638          $19,286
Restructured loans                   387              450
Foreclosed properties              3,766            3,700

  Total Under-performing Assets  $31,706          $28,642

Unper-performing assets as a % of total
 loans and foreclosed properties   0.54%             0.50%
                                   ====              ====

As of March 31, 2000, the recorded investment in loans for which
impairment has been recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 114
and 118 was    $11.2 million with no related allowance and $71.1
million with $20.1 million of related allowance.

Old National'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 three months ended March 31, 2000, the average balance of
impaired loans was $78.5 million and $1.4 million of interest was
recorded.

                                  11


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

Total deposits at March 31, 2000, increased $464.9 million or
8.3% compared to March 1999.  Brokered certificates of deposit,
included in other time, increased $473.3 million since March
1999.  Since December 1999, total deposits increased $77.2
million or 5.2% with brokered certificates of deposit increasing
$83.0 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 $42.3 million since March 1999 and
decreased $60.8 million since December 1999.  Other borrowings,
which is primarily debt from Federal Home Loan Banks, rose $118.6
million over March 1999 and $61.4 million over December 1999. In
addition, $50 million of trust preferred securities were issued
by Old National Capital Trust I during March 2000.


Capital
Total shareholders' equity decreased $59.5 million since March

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

Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management
Old National 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.

Old National 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 Old National to generate strong net
interest income while controlling and monitoring interest rate

                                  12

risk.  Old National 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 March
31, 2000 Old National was well within that limit as the model's
fluctuation was under 4% for the first 12 months and less than 4%
for the total 24 month period.

Using static gap, Old National's rate-sensitive assets at March
31, 2000 were 64% of rate-sensitive liabilities in the 1-180 day
maturity category and 70% in the 181-365 day category.  These
figures compared to 59% and 64% on December 31, 1999 and 70% and
76% on March 31, 1999. Old National's funds management committee
meets quarterly to closely monitor and effect changes as needed
in the consolidated rate-sensitivity position.

Results of Operations

Net Income

With the inclusion of significant merger and restructuring as
discussed below, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
was $9.0 million compared with $22.9 million in the first quarter
of 1999. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.16 for the
first quarter of 2000, compared to $0.39 for the same period of
the prior year.

Included in the first quarter of 2000 results were $22.5 million
of merger and restructuring charges. Included in this merger and
restructuring charge was $3.4 million in securities losses
related to the Heritage and ANB balance sheet restructuring, $4.5
million of severance and employee related costs, $5.7 million in
professional fees, $3.7 million write-down of fixed assets and
$1.3 million of other merger and restructuring costs. Also
included in the $22.5 million merger and restructuring expense
was a $3.8 million provision for loan losses that was charged to
earnings on the merger date to conform ANB with Old National's
credit policies.

Excluding the above merger and restructuring charges, net income
for the first quarter was $23.4 million, an increase of 3.2% over
the first quarter of 1999.  The corresponding adjusted first
quarter 2000 diluted earnings per common share were $.41 or a
5.1% increase over the same quarter of last year.  The
corresponding adjusted return on average assets (ROA) was 1.16%
while return on equity (ROE) was 15.41% in the first quarter of
2000. These compared to 1999 results of 1.22% ROA and 15.25% ROE.
Growth in 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 2000 was $72,436, a 0.7%
increase over 1999. The net interest margin for the first quarter
was 3.81% and 4.12% for 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The net
interest margin was compressed by the rising interest rate
environment impacting funding costs, maturity extension of
borrowings, and the decline in core deposits which required
additional wholesale borrowings.  Earning asset yields increased
14 basis points over 1999.  Cost of interest bearing liabilities
increased 41 basis points compared to 1999.


                                  13

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $7.4 million in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to 3.4 million in the first quarter of
1999. Merger-related provision was $3.8 million in the first
quarter of 2000.  Old National's net charge-offs were 0.15% of
average loans for the current quarter, compared to 0.12% in the
first quarter of 1999.

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.
Old National 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 1.21% at March 31, 2000 compares to 1.19% in 1999.  The
allowance for loan losses covers all under-performing loans by
2.2 times at March 31, 2000 compared to 2.3 times at December 31,
1999.

Noninterest Income

Excluding securities gains (losses), noninterest income increased
27.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the
same period in 1999.  Trust fees were up 5.7% for the first
quarter compared to prior year. Service charges on deposit
accounts were up 29.1% for the quarter mainly due to additional
overdraft fees generated from a new product, "Worry-free"
checking, started March 1999. Insurance premiums and commissions
increased 85.2% over 1999 for the quarter due to the December 31,
1999, purchase of the Sycamore Agency.  Investment product fees
rose over 1999 in excess of 25% for the first quarter.  The
security gains of $1.4 million for the quarter in 1999 were taken
to offset a portion of the charges incurred in connection with
the restructuring of Old National's banks into a single charter.
Other income includes a gain of $2.4 million from the sale of Old
National's Merchant credit card in the first quarter of 2000.
This sale also negatively impacted loan fees. Most other
categories of noninterest income were comparable to last year's
results.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased 4.8% in the first quarter of 2000
compared to 1999. Salaries and benefits, together the largest
individual component of noninterest expense, increased 11.0% in
the first quarter of 2000 compared to 1999. Professional fees
decreased $1.1 million or 51.1% due to additional expenses in
prior year related to the charter consolidation. Processing
expense decreased 11.0% for the quarter.  The largest increase
for the quarter was related to credit card outsource expense in
prior year.  Other expense increased 2.0% over the first quarter
of 1999. 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 first quarter to 8.9% compared to 28.6%
in 1999. Excluding merger and restructuring charges, this
percentage would have been 27.5%.  Higher levels of tax exempt
income, as well as favorable state taxation developments, helped
lower our effective rate in 2000.
