ITEM II.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     This item discusses the results of operations for Mid-America
Bancorp and its subsidiaries for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 and compares those periods with the same periods  of the
previous year.  In addition, the discussion describes the
significant changes in the financial condition of the Company that
have occurred between December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996.  This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes presented in Part I,
Item 1 of this report.

A.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$8,024,000 or $0.87 per share, compared to $6,031,000 or $0.66 per
share for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Net income for the
second quarter of 1996 was $3,707,000 or $0.40 per share.  Net
income for the second quarter of 1995 was $3,211,000 or $0.35 per
share.

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996, when
compared to the same period in 1995, increased 33%.  For the second
quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter in 1995, net income
increased 15.4%.  Excluding the effects of securities transactions
in each period, the six month increase was 20.2% and the second
quarter increase was 14.4%.  The Company's results for the quarter
and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same
periods in 1995 reflected the following:

     *Increased net interest income resulting primarily from
      increases in earning assets, offset somewhat by the impact of
      lower interest rates during 1996 than in 1995.    

     *Year-to-date securities gains of $1,176,000, with an after tax
      impact of $764,000 or $0.08 per share.      
     *Increases in non-interest income, excluding securities
      transactions, of 4.5% and 7.9% for the quarter and 
      year-to-date, respectively.

     *Decreases in other operating expenses, excluding salaries, of
      7.8% and 6.7% for the quarter and year-to-date, respectively.

     *Increases in salaries and benefits for the quarter and
      year-to-date periods of 10.5% and 12.0%, respectively, arising
      primarily from staffing changes that occurred during the last
      half of 1995 and annual salary increases that averaged
      approximately 4%.

     Net Interest Income

     Net interest income is the difference between interest earned
on earning assets and interest expensed on interest bearing
liabilities.  The net interest spread is the difference between the
average yield on earning assets and the average rate on interest
bearing liabilities.  The net yield on earning assets (interest
margin) is net interest income divided by average earning assets. 
The following table summarizes the above for the three and six
months ending June 30, 1996 and 1995.

Average interest bearing liabilities          $1,004,132  $873,773   $988,383   $885,614 

</TABLE>

     Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased
approximately $1.0 million or 8.1% and $2.2 million or 9.1% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to
comparable periods in 1995. The increases result from increases in
average earning assets, offset somewhat by lower interest spreads.

Provision for Loan Losses

     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate
to absorb estimated potential credit losses.  Management determines
the adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of individual
credits, evaluation of the risk characteristics of the loan
portfolio, including the impact of current economic conditions on
the borrowers' ability to repay, past collection and loss experience
and such other factors, which, in management's judgement, deserve
current recognition. See "Non-Performing Loans and Assets".  The
allowance for loan losses is established by charges to operating
earnings.     

          An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan
losses and selected ratios follows:

</TABLE>


  Non-interest income increased $1,636,000 or 29% for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and increased $177,000 or 6.2% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same periods in 1995. 
Excluding securities transactions in all periods, the increases in
1996 were 7.9% and 4.5% for the six month and three month periods,
respectively.  In the first quarter of 1996 the Company sold $28.8
million of callable agency securities and realized a gain of
$1,168,000.  The proceeds from the sales were reinvested in longer
term municipal and agency securities in connection with the
Company's ongoing asset/liability management process.  The Company
benefitted from the continuing volume increases in the money order
company subsidiary's business which caused increased fees of 10.2%
and 8.7% for the six and three month periods, respectively.  For the
three month periods there were no other significant fluctuations in
the components of non-interest income.  The year-to-date period
reflected an increase in other non-interest income primarily from
first quarter activity, which related to higher bank card merchant
fees, interchange fees from the Company's new debit card product and
a gain on disposition of a branch location.

  Western Union Financial Services, Inc. has exercised a contractual
option to purchase part of the money order business from Mid-America
Money Order Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (MOC).
 The purchase of this business by Western Union involves
approximately one-third of MOC's agent base and volume.  However,
the Company does not expect the profit level of MOC to decline in
the same proportion as the lost volume because this portion of the
agent base accounts for the lowest margin business in  the MOC
portfolio and the sale will permit some cost reductions.  The sale
closed July 25, 1996, at which time the Company realized a pre-tax
gain of approximately $1.8 million.

  Other operating expenses increased $722,000 or 3.5% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and $246,000 or 2.4% for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, when compared to the same periods in 1995. 
Excluding the increases in salaries and benefits during the periods,
other operating expenses declined.  Salaries and benefits increased
12% and 10.5% for the six and three month periods, respectively,
primarily from staffing changes (the addition of a Vice-Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer and several senior commercial and real
estate lending officers) that occured during the last half of 1995,
annual salary increases effective in late February 1996 and early
April 1996 that averaged approximately 4%, and higher pension costs.
 The number of full-time equivalent employees has not changed
sustantially during the periods.  Occupancy and furniture and
equipment expenses reflected no significant change during the six or
three month periods compared to the prior year.  Delcines in
operating supplies relate to changes in purchasing procedures in
1996 and an emphasis on cost reduction.  Professional fees increased
 for the three and six month periods as a result of legal fees
related primarily to other real estate matters, and professional
fees for consultants engaged to review the Company's operations. 
The substantial decline in deposit insurance expense related to the
change in the FDIC assessment rate.  Advertising expenses increased
in 1996 as additional media advertising has been implemented.
  
  Income Taxes

  The Company had income tax expense of $1,868,000 for the second
quarter of 1996 compared to $1,440,000 for the same period in 1995. 
The year-to-date tax expense and effective tax rate were $3,919,000
and 32.8% for 1996, respectively and $2,718,000 and 31.1% for 1995,
respectively.  The increase in the effective rate is attributable to
the smaller proportion of tax free income to the increased level of
income.

B.     FINANCIAL CONDITION

  Total Assets

  Total assets increased approximately $73 million from December 31,
1995 to June 30, 1996, while average assets increased $121,593,000
or 10.2% to $1,315,614,000 for the second quarter of 1996 compared
to the last quarter of 1995.  When comparing averages for the first
six months of 1996 to the comparable period in 1995, earning assets
increased approximately $137 million to $1,222,505,000.  Loans
increased $59 million or 8.5% and short-term liquid assets, federal
funds sold and resale agreements, increased $91.6 million.  This
growth was funded primarily by increases in deposits, ($15 million)
repurchase agreements ($99.2 million) and non-interest bearing
liabilities ($17.4 million) and a decrease in securities of $14
million.

  Nonperforming Loans and Assets

  A summary of non-performing loans and assets follows:

  Dollars in thousands               June 30, 1996  December 31, 1995

  Loans accounted for on a non-
      accrual basis                       $2,589          $14,301
  Loans contractually past due
      ninety days or more as to
      interest or principal payments       1,193              842
  Total non-performing loans               3,782           15,143
  Other real estate held for sale         12,941            1,085
  Total non-performing assets            $16,723          $16,228
  
  Non-performing loans to total 
      loans                                 .49%            2.02%
  Non-performing assets to total
      assets                               1.21%            1.24%
  Allowance for loan losses to 
      non-performing loans               248.44%           61.53%

  Loans classified as impaired at June 30, 1996 aggregated
$2,589,000  and included all non-accrual loans.  At December 31,
1995, impaired loans aggregated $14,328,000.  

  In April 1996, the Company obtained from bankruptcy court, title
to properties related to $11.9 million of non-performing loans at
December 31, 1995.  The carrying value of these properties and other
properties acquired from the bankruptcy court and transferred to
other real estate owned was approximately $15.2 million.  At June
30, 1996, the carrying value of these properties has been reduced to
$12.6 million as a result of property sales.  As of late July, 1996,
the Company has contracts for additional property sales, expected to
close in 1996, that will reduce the real estate carrying value by
approximately $3.4 million.  As of August 14, 1996, the Company
entered into an additional sales contract for a portion of these
properties with a carrying value of approximately $1.5 million. 
This contract is contingent on zoning changes which are not expected
to be resolved until the middle of 1997.  These properties had
previously been adjusted to fair value based on recent appraisals
and current contracts support appraised values.

  
  The Company considers the level of non-performing loans in its
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

C.     LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY

  Liquidity represents the Company's ability to generate cash or
otherwise obtain funds at a reasonable price to satisfy commitments
to borrowers as well as demands of depositors.  The loan and
securities portfolios are managed to provide liquidity through
maturity or payments related to such assets.  

  Interest rate sensitivity management is managing the difference or
gap between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities to
minimize the impact of changing interest rates on profitability and
allow for adequate liquidity.

  The Company's adjusted one year cumulative interest sensitivity
gap was (3.23%) at June 30, 1996 compared to 6.76% at December 31,
1995.  The cumulative interest sensitivity gap through 90 days was
4.60% at June 30, 1996 compared to 10.97% at December 31, 1995. 
Interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts aggregating $150
million, with a remaining weighted average life of 3.6 years, that
pay the floating prime rate for the right to receive a weighted
average fixed of 8.56%, have been utilized to supplement on-balance
sheet strategies to reduce the Company's sensitivity to interest
rate changes.  At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the aggregate
fair value of interest rate swap contracts was approximately
($3,121,000) and $2,444,000, respectively.

  The parent company's liquidity depends primarily on the dividends
paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Mid-America Bank of
Louisville and Trust Company.

D.     CAPITAL RESOURCES

  At June 30, 1996 shareholders' equity totaled $134,012,000, an
increase of $1,062,000 since December 31, 1995.  The increase is
attributed to net income less dividends, net of depreciation in the
value of securities available for sale of $4,554,000.
