1.The accounting and reporting policies of MidAmerica Bancorp and 
  its subsidiaries (the Company) conform with generally accepted
  accounting principles and general practices within the banking
  industry.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
  should be read in conjunction with the Summary of Significant Accounting
  Policies footnote which appears in the Company's 1997 Annual Report and
  Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
  consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
  only of adjustments of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the
  opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial
  condition and results of operating for the interim periods.

2.The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 130, "Reporting 
  Comprehensive Income", during the first quarter of 1998.
  The statement establishes standards for reporting and 
  display of comprehensive income and its components.
  Comprehensive income includes net income and other 
  comprehensive income, which for the Company includes
  unrealized gains and losses on securities available for
  sale and a minimum pension liability adjustment.

3.The following table presents the numerators (net income) and
  denominators (average shares outstanding) for the basic and
  diluted net income per share computations:

 money order operations and related processing agreement for money orders and
 similar payment instruments of MoneyGram Payment Systems, Inc. (MoneyGram).
 A gain of $436,000 was recognized in the first quarter of 1998, at the time of 
 sale.  In May 1998, MoneyGram was acquired by Viad Corp., a company involved
 in the money order business through its subsidairy, Travelers Express.  Viad
 Corp. and Travelers Express have notified the Company of their intention not
 to follow the agreements and no longer process money orders though the Company.

ITEM II.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     This item discusses the results of operations for MidAmerica Bancorp
and its subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998 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, 1997 and September 30, 1998.  This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes presented in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was
$15,843,000 or $1.57 per share on a diluted basis, compared to
$13,447,000 or $1.35 per share on a diluted basis for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.  Net income for the third quarter of 1998 was
$4,410,000 or $0.44 diluted net income per share.  Net income for the
third quarter of 1997 was $4,325,000 or $0.43 diluted net income per
share.

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998, when
compared to the same period in 1997, increased 17.8% and diluted net
income per share increased 16.3%.  For the third quarter of 1998 compared
to the third quarter of 1997, net income increased 2.0% and diluted net
income per share increased 2.3%. 
     
     As discussed further herein, 1998 operating results included non-
recurring revenue of approximately $5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, which contributed $0.30 to diluted net income per
share.  Further, the Company has incurred significant expenses related
to the Year 2000 computer issue, its new image campaign and legal costs,
all of which are expected to be significantly reduced by the beginning
of next year.  These matters contributed $630,000 and $2.6 million to the
increased level of other operating expenses for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1998, respectively.

     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 nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

     Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $655,000 or
4.4% for the quarter and $2,018,000 or 4.6% for the year-to-date,
resulting primarily from earning asset volume increases.  During the
three and nine month periods of 1998, average earning assets increased
4.3% and 4.0%, respectively, compared to the prior year's periods.  The
net interest margin was unchanged for the third quarter of 1998 compared
to 1997 and increased slightly for the nine month period in 1998 when
compared to 1997.  Asset yields increased and liability costs remained
relatively stable.                 

     Provision for Loan Losses

     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which
management believes is 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. 

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

     Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
includes a one-time gain of $4.2 million from the sale of the money order
subsidiary and gains on sales of other real estate of $814,000.  The
remaining components of non-interest income increased by $500,000 or 15%
for the quarter and $1.1 million or 11% for the year-to-date period. 
These increases were driven by sustainable core sources of revenue. 
Trust income, benefiting from an increased level of assets under
management, increased 71% for the third quarter and 95% for the year-to-
date.  Deposit fees continued to show steady gains of 8% for the quarter
and nine months, as the retail customer base continues to expand.  Bank
card fees and merchant fees increased $793,000 or 96% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1998, and increased 94% for the third quarter,
as the retail card base expanded and the merchant business was expanded
to the gift certificate subsidiary's mall agent base.  The decline in
gift certificate and money order fees is partially offset with processing
income from the purchaser of the money order subsidiary (included in
other non-interest income) and expense reductions.

     Other operating expenses increased $1.3 million or 11% and $4.6
million or 14%, for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. 
These increases are significantly impacted by expenses attributed to
three major areas; incremental expenses associated with the Company's
Year 2000 project, the Company's new image campaign and legal costs
associated with intensive discovery efforts in one ongoing litigation
matter which is discussed more fully in the Company's 1997 Annual Report
on Form 10-K.  These matters contributed $630,000 and $2.6 million to the
increased level of other operating expenses for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1998.  Excluding these matters, other operating
expenses, increased 5.8% for the third quarter and 5.9% for the nine
month period.  An increase in salaries and employee benefits caused a
substantial portion of this remaining increase and is attributable
primarily to annual compensation increases.  The level of full-time-
equivalent employees on a year-to-date basis averaged 621 in both 1998
and 1997.

     Income Taxes

     The Company had income tax expense of $1,792,000 for the third
quarter of 1998 compared to $2,007,000 for the same period in 1997.  The
year-to-date tax expense and effective tax rate were $6,710,000 and 29.8%
for 1998, respectively and $6,105,000 and 31.2% for 1997, respectively. 
The decrease in the effective rate is attributable to an increased level
of tax free income resulting from an increase in tax free securities, and
tax credits related to low income housing interests.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total Assets

     Total actual assets decreased approximately $103 million from
December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1998, due to seasonal increases at the
end of the year.  Average assets increased $22 million or 1.6% to
$1,415,485,000 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to the last quarter
of 1997.  During the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1998, average earning assets increased approximately $56 million and $53
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 nine months ended
September 30, 1998 compared to the first nine months of 1997, average
asset growth included increases in average commercial loans of $65
million, increases in average retail loans of $43 million, and decreases
in the average securities portfolio of $45 million.  For the third
quarter of 1998 compared to 1997, average retail loans increased $50
million, average commercial loans increased $70 million and the
securities portfolio's average declined $59 million.  The retail loan
growth is primarily related to the Company's indirect automobile lending
activities started in late 1997.

     Nonperforming Loans and Assets

     A summary of non-performing loans and assets follows:

         non-performing loans              283%              373%

     Loans classified as impaired at September 30, 1998 aggregated
$2,617,000  and included all non-accrual loans.  At December 31, 1997,
impaired loans aggregated $1,680,000.  

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

     Other real estate aggregated $14.6 million at September 30, 1998 and
was principally comprised of properties acquired in settlement of problem
real estate development loans in April 1996, and a completed condominium
project acquired in settlement of loans in November 1997.  The carrying
value of real estate development property has been substantially reduced
through sales from the original carrying value of $15.2 million to $4.8
million at September 30, 1998.  The condominium project involves 32 (44
originally) completed and readily marketable units and 7.5 acres of
adjacent developed land.  This riverfront development has a carrying
value of $8.2 million.  Management intends to continue to provide for the
orderly development and marketing of these properties in a manner
designed to maximize the value thereof to the Company.

     LIQUIDITY 

     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.  

     The parent Company's liquidity depends primarily on the dividends
paid to it as the sole shareholder of Bank of Louisville.

     CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1998, shareholders' equity totaled $165,454,000,
an increase of $9.7 million since December 31, 1997.  Since December 31,
1997, the Company's available for sale securities portfolio had
unrealized losses, net of taxes, that decreased shareholders' equity $.7
million.  

     The Company's capital ratios exceed minimum regulatory requirements
and are as follows:

     YEAR 2000

     Many computer systems (including those in non-information technology
equipment and systems) currently record years in a two-digit format. If not
addressed, such computer systems will be unable to properly interpret dates
beyond the year 1999, which could lead to business disruptions in the U.S. and
internationally (the "Year 2000" issue). The potential costs and uncertainties
associated with the Year 2000 issue will depend on a number of factors,
including software, hardware and the nature of the industry in which a company
operates. Additionally, companies must coordinate with other entities with
which they electronically interact.

     During 1998, the Company has continued with its organization-wide program
of preparing its systems for Year 2000 compliance. The Company has developed
detailed plans to address the possible exposures related to the impact on its
computer systems of the Year 2000. The Company has a formal Millennium Program
Office, executive level sponsors, and several steering committees represented
by all of the business units of the Company. A committee of the Board of
Directors oversees the program. 

     The Company has been reviewing its systems and programs to identify those
that contain two- digit year codes, and is in the process of upgrading its
infrastructure and corporate facilities to achieve Year 2000 compliance. In
addition, the Company is actively working with its major external
counterparties and suppliers to assess their compliance and remediation
efforts and the Company's exposure to them. In addressing the Year 2000 issue,
the Company has identified the following phases. In the Awareness phase, the
Company defined the Year 2000 issue and obtained executive level support and
funding. In the Assessment phase, the Company collected a comprehensive list
of items that may be affected by Year 2000 compliance issues. Such items
include facilities and related non-information technology systems (embedded
technology), computer systems, hardware, and services and products provided by
third parties. The Company then evaluated the items identified in the
Assessment phase to determine which will function properly with the change to
the new century, and ranked items which will need to be remediated based on
their potential impact to the Company. The Renovation phase includes an
analysis of the items that are affected by Year 2000, the identification of
problem areas and the repair of non-compliant items. The Validation phase
includes a thorough testing of  repairs, including present and forward date
testing which simulates dates in the Year 2000. The Implementation phase
consists of placing all items that have been remediated and successfully
tested into production. 

     As of September 30, 1998, the Company had completed the Awareness phase,
and was virtually finished with the Assessment phase. Renovation was 85%
complete on Information Technology systems and well underway on non-IT
systems. As of September 30, 1998, the Company was also conducting the
procedures associated with the Validation and Implementation phases. The
Company expects to complete all but the Implementation phases with respect to
its mission critical applications by March 31, 1999, with the Implementation
phase completed by September 30, 1999.

  The Company has reviewed Year 2000 issues with its major business
relationships, counterparties, intermediaries and vendors with whom it has
important financial and operational relationships to determine the extent to
which they are vulnerable to Year 2000 issues. Based on this review (and
assuming the accuracy of the responses and representations), as of September
30, 1998, the Company does not expect any material adverse impact from
third-party Year 2000 non-compliance.  In addition, the Company has been
communicating with its customer base and plans additional communication as
necessary.

  The Company has incurred internal staff costs as well as consulting, new
hardware and software expenses, and other expenses related to this program.  A
significant portion of these costs are not incremental costs to the Company,
but rather represent the redeployment of existing information technology and
business unit resources.  A summary of cost incurred on the project through
September 30, 1998 and estimated future cost is set forth below.

                                    Cost Incurred             
                                       Through             Estimated

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

  Portions of the above costs relate to capital items that are depreciated
over their useful lives.  Accordingly, the above cost summary is not
representive of amounts being expensed.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1998,  $1.4 million of the Year 2000 costs have been expensed, including
$150,000 of depreciation and $760,000 of costs for time spent by existing
personnel devoted to this program.                   

  Although the Company does not presently anticipate a material business
interruption as a result of the Year 2000 issue, there are many risks
associated with the Year 2000 issue, including the possibility of a failure of
the Company's computer and non-information technology systems. Such failures
could have a material adverse effect on the Company and may cause systems
malfunctions, incorrect or incomplete transaction processing, the inability to
reconcile accounting books and records, and the inability to reconcile
balances with counterparties. In addition, even if the Company successfully
remediates its Year 2000 issues, it can be materially and adversely affected
by failures of third parties to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. The
failure of third parties with which the Company has financial or operational
relationships such as securities exchanges, clearing organizations,
depositories, regulatory agencies, banks, clients, counterparties, vendors and
utilities, to remediate their computer and non-information technology systems
issues in a timely manner could result in a material financial risk to the
Company. If the above mentioned risks are not remedied, the Company may
experience business interruption, financial loss, regulatory actions, damage
to the Company's franchise and legal liability. The Company has business
continuity plans in place that cover its current worldwide operations, and
Year 2000 specific contingency planning has begun. The Company intends to
document Year 2000 specific contingency plans during 1999 as part of its Year
2000 risk mitigation efforts.    

  RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (Statement 133) was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in June 1998. 
Statement 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments.
Statement 133 currently applies to the Company's interest rate swap
contracts.  Under the standard, entities are required to carry all
derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value.  The
accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e. gains or losses) of a
derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and
qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, if so on the reason
for holding it.  If certain conditions are met, entities may elect to
designate a derivative instrument as a hedge of exposures to changes
in fair value, cash flows, or foreign currencies.  If the hedged
exposure is a fair value exposure, the gain or loss on the derivative
instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change together
with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to
the risk being hedged.  If the hedged exposure is a cash flow
exposure, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative
instrument is reported initially as a component of other comprehensive
income (outside earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings
when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.  Any amounts
excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness as well as the
ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings
immediately.  Accounting for foreign currency hedges is similar to the
accounting for fair value and cash flow hedges.  If the derivative
instrument is not designated as a hedge, the gain or loss is
recognized in earnings in the period of change.  

  The Company is in the process of determining the impact that
Statement 133 will have on its financial statements and believes that
such determination will not be meaningful until closer to the date of
initial adoption (January 1, 2000).  It can not be determined
presently whether the Company will have any significant derivative
instruments on the date of initial adoption.  Depending on asset /
liability management issues, the market interest rate situation and
other relevant internal and external factors, the Company's current
interest rate swap positions may be increased or reduced by the time
that Statement 133 is adopted.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

  The Company's September 30, 1998 analysis of the impact of changes
in interest rates on net interest income over the next 12 months
indicates a favorable impact in a declining interest rate environment,
which is consistent with the Company's liability-sensitive gap
position at the one year repricing period.  The table below
illustrates the simulation analysis of the impact of a 50 or 100 basis
point upward or downward movement in interest rates.  The impact of
the rate movement was simulated as if rates changed immediately from
September 30, 1998 levels, and remained constant at those levels
thereafter.
