6.On January 1, 1997, the Company implemented Statement of Financial
  Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
  Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities."
  Under this standard, accounting for transfers and servicing of
  financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities is based on
  control.  After a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes
  the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it
  has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been
  surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.  The
  implementation of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material effect on the
  Company's financial statements.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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,
1997 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, 1996 and June 30, 1997.  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, 1997 was $9,122,000 or
$0.94 per share, compared to $8,024,000 or $0.84 per share for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  Net income for the second quarter of 1997
was $4,605,000 or $0.47 per share.  Net income for the second quarter of
1996 was $3,707,000 or $0.39 per share.
 
     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, when compared to
the same period in 1996, increased 13.7% and net income per share
increased 11.9%.  For the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second
quarter of 1996, net income increased 24.2% and net income per share
increased 20.5%.  Excluding the effects of securities transactions in
each period, the six month increase in net income was 25% and the second
quarter increase was 24.3%.  The Company's results for the quarter and
year-to-date periods ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same periods
in 1996, reflect a strong increase in the level of core earnings and
include the following:
 
     *Increased net interest income resulting primarily from increases
       in average earning assets.
 
     *Year-to-date securities gains of $68,000 in 1997, and $1,176,000
       in 1996.
 
     *Increases in non-interest income, excluding the decline in money
      order fees and securities transactions, of 18% and 21% for the
      quarter and year-to-date, respectively.
 
     *Insignificant proportional increases in other operating expenses.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
     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 ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

  bearing liabilities              $1,038,485 $1,004,132 $1,047,533   $988,383
 
 
     Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $1,247,000
or 9.3% for the quarter and $2,401,000 or 9.0% for the year-to-date,
resulting primarily from volume increases.  During the three and six
month periods of 1997, average earning assets increased 5.5% and 7.3%,
respectively, compared to the prior year's periods.  The net interest
spread and margin both improved for the three month and year-to-date
periods as asset yields increased slightly while liability costs were
relatively stable.
 
     Provision for Loan Losses
 
     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level adequate to
absorb estimated probable 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.  Based on this
process, the allowance for loan losses was considered adequate and no
provision for loan losses was considered necessary in 1997.  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:

                                ======  ======  ======  ======  ======  ======
 
     The level of non-interest income for the quarter and six month
periods reflect a decline in money order fees as a result of the reduced
agent base subsequent to the Western Union program agent base sale in the
third quarter of 1996.  Excluding the decline in money order fees and
securities gains and losses, non-interest income for the three and six
month periods in 1997 reflect increases of 18% and 21%, respectively,
over comparable periods in 1996.  These increases were achieved from
increased fees and other revenue from the expanding retail customer base,
and fees from new products and services.  The level of non-interest
income should be further enhanced in subsequent periods as a result of
the expansion of the Personal Trust Department in May 1997 with the
addition of six seasoned and locally recognized Trust officers.
 
     Other operating expenses during the quarter and six month periods
increased by insignificant proportions as a result of Company-wide
expense control efforts.  The level of other operating expenses was
favorably impacted by the reduction in full time equivalent employees
from 674 in June 1996 to 627 in June 1997.  Also, furniture and equipment
expenses in both periods declined as a result of lower depreciation and
maintenance associated with the money order operation subsequent to the
agent base sale in 1996.  Individually significant increases in other
operating expenses related to advertising, marketing and supply costs
attributed to the Company's efforts to increase market share.  The other
category of other operating expenses was favorably impacted by the
$44,000 and $199,000 decline in uncollectible money order fees for the
second quarter and the first six months of 1997, respectively.
 
     Income Taxes
 
     The Company had income tax expense of $2,065,000 for the second
quarter of 1997 compared to $1,868,000 for the same period in 1996.  The
year-to-date tax expense and effective tax rate were $4,098,000 and 31.0%
for 1997, respectively and $3,919,000 and 32.8% for 1996, respectively.
The decrease in the effective rate is attributable to the increased level
of tax free income resulting from the increase in tax free securities.
 
B.   FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
     Total Assets
 
     Total assets increased approximately $16 million from December 31,
1996 to June 30, 1997, while average assets increased $21 million or 1.5%
to $1,365,189,000 for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the last
quarter of 1996.  During the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1997 average earning assets increased approximately $68 million and $90
million respectively, compared to the prior year periods.  Average
earning asset growth was funded primarily from increases in average
retail deposit products during the periods.  For the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996 average asset
growth included increases in average commercial loans of $13 million,
increases in average retail loans of $30 million, and increases in the
average securities portfolio of $55 million.  For the second quarter of
1997 compared to 1996, average retail loans increased $32 million,
average commercial loans increased $6 million and the securities
portfolio's average was up $56 million.  The average commercial loan
increase for the second quarter was impacted by over $25 million of pay-
offs in March 1997.
 
     Nonperforming Loans and Assets
 
     A summary of non-performing loans and assets follows:
 
     Dollars in thousands               June 30, 1997  December 31, 1996
                                        -------------  -----------------
     Loans accounted for on a non-
         accrual basis                     $2,123          $3,424
     Loans contractually past due
         ninety days or more as to
         interest or principal
         payments                             822              925
                                         --------         --------
     Total non-performing loans             2,945            4,349
     Other real estate held for sale        8,879            9,577
                                         --------         --------
     Total non-performing assets          $11,824          $13,926
                                         ========         ========
     Non-performing loans to total
         loans                               .36%             .54%
     Non-performing assets to total
         assets                              .82%             .98%
     Allowance for loan losses to
         non-performing loans                308%             211%
 
     Loans classified as impaired at June 30, 1997 aggregated $2,123,000
and included all non-accrual loans.  At December 31, 1996, impaired loans
aggregated $3,424,000.
 
     Other real estate aggregated $8.9 million at June 30, 1997 and was
principally comprised of properties acquired in settlement of problem
real estate development loans in April 1996.  The real estate associated
with the above mentioned problem situation which aggregated $15.2 million
originally, has been reduced by property sales and has a carrying value
of $8.8 million at June 30, 1997.  The Company has sales contracts,
expected to close late 1997 or early 1998, for a portion of these
properties with a carrying value of approximately $1.8 million.  These
properties had previously been adjusted to fair value in late 1995 and
subsequent sales and current contracts support carrying 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 (1.00%) at June 30, 1997 compared to (.24%) at December 31, 1996.
The cumulative interest sensitivity gap through 90 days was 4.86% at June
30, 1997 compared to 3.41% at December 31, 1996.  Interest rate swap
contracts with notional amounts aggregating $150 million, that pay the
floating prime rate for the right to receive a weighted average fixed
rate 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, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the aggregate fair value of
interest rate swap contracts was approximately ($1,685,000) and
($1,019,000), respectively.  Operating results in the second half of 1997
should not be significantly impacted by changes in market interest rates.
 
     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, 1997 shareholders' equity totaled $147,863,000, an
increase of $7.2 million since December 31, 1996.  Since December 31,
1996, the Company's available for sale securities portfolio had
unrealized gains, net of taxes, that increased shareholders' equity
$291,000.
 
     The Company's capital ratios exceed minimum regulatory requirements
and are as follows:
 
                                     Company    Company
                                     June 30,   December    Minimum
                                       1997     31, 1996    Required
Leverage Ratio                        10.2%      10.6%       4.00%
Tier 1 risk based capital ratio       15.0%      14.6%       4.00%
Total risk based capital ratio        15.9%      15.6%       8.00%
 
 
 
E.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" and SFAS No. 129
"Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure."  SFAS No. 128
simplifies the computation of earnings per share ("EPS") by replacing
the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.  The
Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS by
entities with complex capital structures.  Basic EPS includes no
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity,
similar to fully diluted EPS.
 
     This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and
requires restatement of all prior period EPS data presented.  Basic
EPS under the new Statement was $.49 and $.96 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.  Diluted EPS under the new
Statement was $.48 and $.94 for the three and six months ended June
30, 1997, respectively.
 
     SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for disclosing information
about an entity's capital structure.  This Statement contains no
change in disclosure requirements for companies that were subject to
previously existing requirements.  This Statement was issued to
eliminate the exemption of nonpublic entities from certain previously
issued disclosure requirements.
 
     This Statement is effective for financial statements for periods
ending after December 15, 1997.  The implementation of this Statement
will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
 
F. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     The Company has entered into an agreement to sell its money order
subsidiary, Mid-America Money Order Company (MAMOC), to MoneyGram
Payment Systems, Inc., for approximately $15 million in cash.  The
Company, through a new subsidiary, will retain the gift certificate
business of MAMOC.  The transaction, which is not significant to the
financial condition or financial results of the Company, is subject to
regulatory approval and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of
1997.
