Old National Bancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Old National Bancorp and its wholly-owned affiliate entities ("Old National"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In addition, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Old National as of September 30, 2003 and 2002, and December 31, 2002, and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. Interim results do not necessarily represent annual results.

2.  Impact of Accounting Changes

In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 establishes standards for classification and measurement in the statement of financial position of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Old National has determined that it has no such instruments.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement clarifies reporting of contracts as either derivatives or hybrid instruments. Old National has determined that all derivatives or hybrid instruments covered under this statement have been properly reported under SFAS No. 149.

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 provides guidance with respect to variable interest entities and when the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest, and results of operations of a variable interest entity need to be included in a company's consolidated financial statements. FIN 46 was expected to be effective for Old National on July 1, 2003; however, the release of the FASB Staff Position FIN 46-6 deferred the date of FIN 46 implementation until December 31, 2003. The effect is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which provides guidance for transition from the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 to SFAS No. 123's fair value method of accounting, if a company so elects. Old National applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation costs have been recognized, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost for Old National's stock option plan been recorded based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and net income per share would have been adjusted to the proforma amounts indicated below:

In November 2002, FASB Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" was issued. FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Old National has determined that its standby letters of credit obligations under this FIN are not material for disclosure.

3.  Acquisition and Divestiture Activity

Old National acquired several companies in the non-bank services segment during 2002 and 2003. All acquisitions were accounted for as purchases in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations."

(1) Includes an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $2,800.

Intangible assets related to customer business relationships from these purchases are being amortized over 4 to 40 years. Unaudited financial statements of aggregate companies acquired during 2003 showed assets of $12.2 million on the acquisition dates, revenues from the beginning of the year to acquisition dates were $10.9 million, and net income from the beginning of the year to acquisition dates was $1.5 million. Unaudited financial statements of aggregate companies acquired during 2002 showed assets of $12.5 million on the acquisition dates, revenues from the beginning of the year to acquisition dates were $19.9 million, and net income from the beginning of the year to acquisition dates was $0.6 million. Contingent payments are often made as a result of these acquisitions. These payments, which are not deemed to be material, result in a change to the purchase price and goodwill.

During the third quarter of 2002, Old National finalized the sales of eight branches resulting in a pre-tax gain totaling $12.5 million. The branch sales resulted in a decrease in total loans of $107.3 million and total deposits of $202.9 million.

5.  Investment Securities

Old National has classified all investment securities as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity on the date of purchase. Securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax effect, recorded as a separate component of shareholder's equity. Securities classified as held-to-maturity, which management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, are reported at amortized cost.

The following tables summarize the amortized cost and fair value of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities as of September 30, 2003 and 2002.

6. Loans Held For Sale

Residential loans held for sale are recorded at lower of cost or market value determined as of the balance sheet date. Old National's residential loans held for sale have been hedged using fair value hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. The loans' carrying basis reflects the effects of the SFAS No. 133 adjustments. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, Old National had mortgage loans held for sale of $16.9 million and $129.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2003, ineffectiveness was immaterial.

During the third quarter of 2003, residential mortgage loans of $3.4 million and commercial loans of $48.2 million were transferred to loans held for sale. As a result of these transfers, write-downs of $1.2 million and $11.3 million, respectively, were recorded against the allowance for loan losses. These loans, which were classified as nonaccrual, were sold in the third quarter for $2.2 million and $36.9 million, respectively, net of expenses incurred with the sale. In addition, during the second quarter of 2003, residential mortgage loans of $11.1 million were transferred to loans held for sale. As a result of this transfer, a write-down of $2.2 million was recorded against the allowance for loan losses. These loans, which were classified as nonaccrual, were sold in the second quarter for $8.9 million, net of expenses incurred with the sale.

For the period ended September 30, 2003, the average balance of impaired loans was $235.5 million for which no interest was recorded. For the period ended September 30, 2002, the average balance of impaired loans was $246.0 million for which $14.6 million of interest was recorded. During the third quarter of 2003, Old National revised its interpretation of impaired loans to include only commercial and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans, which is in accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 5 and 15." Previous to this change, Old National's interpretation of impaired loans was to include all problem credits with a potential collateral deficiency in the event of default. Had Old National made the interpretation to include only commercial and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans in the prior year, impaired loans would have totaled $47.4 million rather than $277.4 million as reported at September 30,2002. No additional funds a re committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans. Loans deemed impaired are evaluated using the fair value of the underlying collateral.

8.  Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

At September 30, 2003 and 2002, Old National had goodwill in the amount of $129.5 million and $95.2 million, respectively. Old National performs impairment testing of goodwill annually.

9.  Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as separate assets when loans are sold with servicing retained. The total price of loans sold is allocated between the loans sold and the servicing rights retained based on the relative fair values of each. Mortgage servicing rights are valued based upon the estimated fair value of the assets. Amortization is determined in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others at September 30 was $1.706 billion in 2003 and $1.372 billion in 2002.

Impairment of the mortgage servicing rights exists if the book value of the mortgage servicing rights exceeds its estimated fair value. Adjustments to value, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges against mortgage servicing income. The use of a valuation allowance enables the recovery of this value as market conditions become more favorable. For purposes of determining impairment, mortgage servicing rights are stratified based on one or more of the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying mortgage loans. Old National utilizes the risk characteristic of interest rate for this purpose.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing income derived from related cash flows. Critical assumptions used in determining estimated net servicing income include expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rates and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions. The expected rates of mortgage loan prepayments are the most significant factors driving the value of mortgage servicing rights. Increases in mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced. In determining the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights, prepayment rates and discount rates are held constant over the estimated life of the portfolio. Expected mortgage loan prepayment rates are derived from a third party statistical model.

At September 30, 2003, Old National's key economic assumptions used in determining the fair value of mortgage servicing rights were a weighted average prepayment rate of 305 PSA and a discount rate of 8.5%. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, net of valuation allowance, at September 30 was $14.8 million in 2003 and $10.9 million in 2002.

10.  Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in Subordinated Debentures

During April 2002, Old National issued $100 million of trust preferred securities through a subsidiary, ONB Capital Trust II. The trust preferred securities have a liquidation amount of $25 per share with a cumulative annual distribution rate of 8.0% or $2.00 per share, payable quarterly, and maturing on April 15, 2032. As guarantor, Old National unconditionally guarantees payment of accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the trust preferred securities, the redemption price when a trust preferred security is called for redemption, and amounts due if a trust is liquidated or terminated.

During March 2000, Old National issued $50 million of trust preferred securities through a subsidiary, ONB 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 (for debentures owned by ONB Capital Trust I) and on or after April 12, 2007 (for debentures owned by ONB Capital Trust II), and in whole (but not in part) following the occurrence and continuance of certain adverse federal income tax or capital treatment events. These securities qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes and the SEC registration related to these securities has remaining funding capacity of $50 million.

Costs associated with the issuance of the trust preferred securities totaling $3.3 million in 2002 and $1.8 million in 2000, 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.

Old National utilizes fair value hedge interest rate swaps to convert the interest rates on the trust preferred securities from fixed to variable, which ranged from 2.34% to 3.71% at September 30, 2003. The fair value of the swaps was $13.2 million at September 30, 2003 and $11.1 million at September 30, 2002, and is included in the guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in subordinated debentures on the balance sheet. Refer to the "Derivative Financial Instruments" for further information regarding these derivatives.

12.  Derivative Financial Instruments

Old National designates its derivatives based upon criteria established by SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133," and SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Old National primarily uses interest rate contracts such as interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. These contracts are designated as hedges and adjust the interest rate sensitivity of specific assets and liabilities. For a derivative designated as a fair value hedge, the derivative is recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The change in fair value of the derivative and hedged item (related to the hedged risk) along with any ineffectiveness of the hed ge is recorded in current earnings. For a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged exposure affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss would be reported in earnings immediately. 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.

At September 30, 2003 and 2002, Old National had fair value hedge interest rate swaps with a notional value of $1.101 billion and $535.0 million, respectively. The fair value of the swaps was $15.4 million as of September 30, 2003 and $25.2 million as of September 30, 2002. Old National pays the counterparty a variable rate based on LIBOR and receives fixed rates ranging from 2.00% to 9.50%. The contracts terminate in or before April 2032. The fair value hedge interest rate swaps meet all criteria required to qualify for shortcut method accounting, therefore, no ineffectiveness was recognized and therefore no income statement impact was recorded as of September 30, 2003.

At September 30, 2003, Old National had cash flow hedges with a total notional value of $150.0 million. Old National pays the counterparty a variable rate based on prime and receives a fixed rate ranging from 5.36% to 6.15%. The contracts terminate in or before September 2007. The fair value of the cash flow hedges at September 30, 2003, was $2.3 million as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Upon termination of the derivative, the gain or loss will be reclassified into earnings as a yield adjustment. As of September 30, 2003, ineffectiveness was immaterial.

During 2001, Old National entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $75 million for a forecasted issuance of debt. The transaction was designated as a cash flow hedge with the effective portion of the derivative's loss initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Upon termination of the derivative, the loss on the interest rate swap of approximately $1.5 million is being reclassified into earnings as a yield adjustment over the 10-year term of the $150 million 6.75% fixed-rate subordinated bank notes issued on October 5, 2001.

In accordance with SFAS No. 149, loan commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loan commitments with customers that will be held for sale shall be accounted for as derivative instruments by the issuer of the loan commitment. At September 30, 2003, Old National has a notional value of $44.7 million with a fair value of $821 thousand.

Old National uses derivatives, primarily mortgage-backed whole loan cash forward sale agreements, to hedge exposure to changes in interest rates in its mortgage loan origination and sale activity. The notional value of these forward sale agreements at September 30, 2003, was $49.0 million with a fair value of negative $812 thousand. In addition, beginning in February 2003, Old National began fair value hedge accounting for the closed loans held for sale warehouse. The notional value at September 30, 2003, of the closed loans held for sale warehouse was $16.8 million with a fair value of $142 thousand. As of September 30, 2003, no ineffectiveness was recognized, therefore no income statement impact was recorded as a result of these mortgage-banking derivatives.

In 2003, Old National began entering into various derivative contracts with its customers, which include interest rate swaps and caps. Old National hedges the exposure of these derivatives by entering into an offsetting third-party contract with reputable counterparties with matching terms. These derivative contracts are not linked to specific assets and liabilities in the balance sheet or to a forecasted transaction in an accounting hedge relationship and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting. Contracts are carried at fair value with changes recorded as a component of other noninterest income. At September 30, 2003, the notional amount of contracts with customers was $46.8 million with a fair value of $161 thousand. Contracts with counterparties also had a notional amount of $46.8 million with a fair value of negative $161 thousand.

Old National is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which Old National is in the net receiving position. 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. In addition, Old National obtains collateral up to certain thresholds of the fair value of its hedges for each counterparty based upon their credit standing.

13. Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the effective tax rate was significantly lower than for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. The main factor for the significant decrease on the effective tax rate is the tax-exempt income as a percentage of total income. The reduction in total income was due to the provision for loan losses, which increased from September 30, 2003 over September 30, 2002 by $16.5 million for the three months ended and $33.0 million for the nine months ended.

15.  Segment Data

Old National operates in three reportable segments: community banking, non-bank services and treasury. The community banking segment serves customers in both urban and rural markets providing a wide range of financial services including commercial, real estate, and consumer loans; lease financing; checking, savings, time deposits and other depository accounts; cash management services; and debit cards and other electronically accessed banking services and Internet banking. The non-bank services segment combines the management and operations of trust, asset management, insurance brokerage and investment and annuity sales. Treasury manages investments, wholesale funding, interest rate risk, liquidity, and leverage for Old National. Additionally, treasury provides other miscellaneous capital markets products for its corporate banking customers.

In order to measure performance for each segment, Old National allocates capital, corporate overhead and income tax provision to each segment. Capital and corporate overhead are allocated to each segment using various methodologies, which are subject to periodic management changes. Income taxes are allocated using the effective tax rate. Also, to provide a basis for employee incentives, revenues and expenses related to the non-bank services segment are allocated to the community banking segment and reflected in both the community banking segment and the non-bank services segment. This allocation of revenue and expense is eliminated in the "Other" column. The "Other" column for 2002 also includes noninterest income of $12.5 million pre-tax gain and segment profit of $8.3 million after-tax gain related to the branch divestitures. Intersegment sales and transfers are not significant.


Old National uses a funds transfer pricing ("FTP") system to eliminate the effect of interest rate risk from the community banking and non-bank services segments net interest income. The FTP system is used to credit or charge each segment for the funds the segments create or use. The net FTP credit or charge is reflected in segment net interest income.

The financial information for each operating segment is reported on the basis used internally by Old National's management to evaluate performance and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution.

16.  Stock Options

On January 31, 2003, Old National granted 2.5 million stock options to key employees at an option price of $22.80, the closing price of Old National's stock on that date. On January 22, 2002, Old National granted 1.9 million stock options to key employees at an option price of $22.70, the closing price of Old National's stock on that date. The options vest 25% per year over a four-year period and expire in ten years. If certain financial targets are achieved, vesting is accelerated. Under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, Old National was given the authority to grant 6.9 million shares of common stock of which 6.2 million have been granted as of September 30, 2003. Options have been accounted for in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation costs have been recognized.

17. Outside Director Stock Compensation Program

During the second quarter of 2003, Old National implemented a director stock compensation program covering all outside directors. Compensation shares are earned semi-annually. A maximum of 150,000 shares of common stock is available for issuance under this program. As of September 30, 2003, Old National had issued 3,165 shares under this program.

18.  Financial Guarantees

Old National holds instruments that are considered financial guarantees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"). Standby letters of credit guarantees are issued in connection with agreements made by customers to counterparties. Standby letters of credit are contingent upon failure of the customer to perform the terms of the underlying contract. Credit risk associated with standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that associated with extending loans to customers and is subject to normal credit policies.

Old National also enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of conforming residential mortgage loans at a specified interest rate to reduce interest rate risk associated with loans held for sale. These forward contacts are considered derivative instruments accounted for under SFAS No. 133. See additional information in footnote 12 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

19. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business, various legal actions and proceedings are pending against Old National and its affiliates which are incidental to the business in which they are engaged.

Among these are several lawsuits relating to activities during 1995 of First National Bank & Trust Company, Carbondale, Illinois, ("First National"), which was purchased by Old National in 1999. These lawsuits include one class action brought by alleged third-party creditors of structured settlement trusts. The lawsuits are pending against Old National Bank, as successor to First National, and allege actual damages totaling approximately $31 million, as well as unspecified punitive damages, and other damages and attorneys' fees. The cases are pending against Old National Bank in the City of St. Louis, Missouri; St. Clair County, Madison County and Cook County, Illinois; and U.S. Federal District Court in Southern Illinois.

While it is impossible to predict with certainty the actual outcome of these actions, they are pending in jurisdictions that have permitted damage awards disproportionate to the actual economic damages alleged to have been incurred. Based upon this and other information, including evaluations by outside counsel, management is of the opinion that, it is probable a negative resolution of one or more of the actions may result. However, Old National is unable to determine the range of damages, if any, that could result. It is possible that a damage award could materially affect Old National's results of operations. Any loss or settlement relating to the actions would not be covered by Old National's insurance. Old National is vigorously defending all of these actions.

At September 30, 2003, Old National had credit extensions of $75.7 million with various unaffiliated banks related to letter of credit commitments issued on behalf of Old National's customers. At September 30, 2003, the unsecured portion was $37.0 million and the secured portion was $38.7 million.

On October 11, 2002, Old National entered into a $52 million contract awarded to a company controlled by a director for the construction of its Evansville-based main banking center and bank headquarters. Construction began on June 27, 2002, and is expected to be complete in 2004.

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 ("MD&A") of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is presented to provide information concerning the financial condition of Old National as of September 30, 2003, as compared to September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002, and the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

Forward-Looking Statements
This management's discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include expressions such as "expects," "intends," "believes," "anticipates," and "should," which are statements of belief as to the expected outcomes of future events. Internal and external factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, market, economic, operational, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with Old National's business, competition, government legislation and policies, ability of Old National to execute its business plan, softening in the economy which could materially impact credit quality trends and the ability to generate loans, and other matters discussed in this management's discussion and analysis. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Actua l results could materially differ from those presented.

Company Profile
Old National, a $9.5 billion financial holding company headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, employs more than 3,000 professionals who advise, design, and facilitate financial solutions to help clients reach their goals. Founded in 1834, Old National has grown to include client-focused financial services operations in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri.

Beginning in 2002, Old National identified four components of growth. Old National's five-year plan recognizes the strengths of each of the four components and sets expectations for their contributions to Old National's growth:

During the third quarter of 2003, Old National determined that in order to achieve the four components of the growth strategy described above it must accelerate certain aspects and address structural issues to improve growth and financial performance. Old National identified the following three near-term priorities:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as disclosures found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, are based upon Old National's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires Old National to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of the mortgage servicing assets and the valuation of goodwill and intangibles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management believes the accounting estimates related to the allowance for loan losses; the capitalization, amortization and valuations of mortgage servicing assets and the valuation of goodwill and intangibles are "critical accounting estimates" because: (1) the estimates are highly susceptible to change from period to period because they require company management to make assumptions concerning, among other factors, the changes in the types and volumes of the portfolios, rates of future prepayments, valuation assumptions, and anticipated economic conditions, and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on Old National's assets reported on the balance sheet as well as net income. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the audit committee of the board of directors and the audit committee has reviewed the company's disclosures relating to them in this MD&A.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In January 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Regulation G, "Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures." A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flow that excludes (includes) amounts or adjustments that are included (excluded) in the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Regulation G requires companies that present non-GAAP financial measures to disclose a numerical reconciliation to the most directly comparable measurement using GAAP as well as the reason why the non-GAAP measure is an important measure. Management does not believe it has used any non-GAAP financial measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Acquisition and Divestiture Activity
During 2003 and 2002, Old National acquired various financial services companies. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." These key acquisitions in the asset management consulting and insurance agency operations enhanced the growth of the Old National Signature Group and expanded Old National into its targeted Metro markets.

During the third quarter of 2002, Old National finalized the sales of eight branches in markets no longer considered consistent with the company's strategy resulting in a pre-tax gain totaling $12.5 million. The after-tax gain on the sales totaled $8.3 million.

Financial Condition
Earning Assets
Old National's earning assets are comprised of loans, investment securities, money market investments and residential loans held for sale. Earning assets were $8.730 billion at September 30, 2003, which is a decrease of 2.0% from December 31, 2002 and an increase of 1.2% from September 30, 2002. While earning assets remain relatively flat, the mix of these assets continues to change. Investment securities decreased slightly from December 2002, however, the balances increased from September 2002. The increase in investment securities during the earlier period was a temporary source of earning assets. During the third quarter of 2003, Old National began reducing its investment portfolio due to fewer attractive investment opportunities given the company's need to reduce its sensitivity to rising interest rates. Total loans remained relatively flat, however residential real estate loans continue to decline, reflecting Old National's strategy of selling the majority of residential real estate loans in the secondary market. This decrease combined with continued weakness in commercial loan growth was partially offset by an increase in consumer loans. Also contributing to the decline in commercial loan growth was the impact of the sales of non-performing loans during the third quarter of 2003. Residential loans held for sale showed a decrease from December 31, 2002, and a decrease from September 30, 2002, due to timing of movement of originations and loan sales in the residential loans held for sale warehouse. Old National does not expect to see strong growth in earning assets in the near future. As the economic environment improves and commercial and consumer loan demand begins to increase, Old National will use cash flow from maturing investment securities to fund new loans.

Investment Securities
Old National has classified all investment securities as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity on the date of purchase. The majority of Old National's investment securities are classified as available-for-sale, which gives management the flexibility to manage the investment portfolio as needed based on changing market conditions and funding requirements. Old National was increasing its investment portfolio over recent quarters to offset the impact of declining residential real estate and the minimal growth of commercial and consumer loans. However during the third quarter of 2003, Old National began decreasing the level of investment securities due to fewer attractive investment opportunities. As investments matured, Old National used the cash flows to reduce the level of borrowed funds. Also during 2003, Old National added primarily adjustable rate and 10 to 20 year fixed rate mortgage pass through securities and fixed rate federal agency debentures. These securities plus transactions in other fi nancial instruments like interest rate swaps helped protect the company's net interest margin as interest rates fell and certain assets, like residential and commercial real estate loans, were refinanced in 2003.

Investment securities represented 34.7% of earning assets as of September 30, 2003 as compared to 34.7% and 32.2% at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively. At September 30, 2003, the investment securities portfolio was $3.030 billion compared to $3.078 billion and $2.782 billion at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively, which is a decrease of 2.1% since December 31, 2002 and increase of 8.9% since September 30, 2002.

Although possible, it is unlikely that the company will increase its investment portfolio as a percentage of total assets from the level at September 2003. It is more likely that the company's investment portfolio as a percentage of total assets will continue to decline as the company expects economic growth to begin to accelerate and the opportunities to make additional consumer and commercial loans increase. Old National will use cash flows from investment portfolio maturities and prepayments to fund new loan opportunities.

During the first quarter of 2003, Old National added securities to its held-to-maturity investment portfolio. At September 30, 2003, Old National had amortized cost of $217.5 million in its held-to-maturity portfolio. These securities are 15 and 20 year fixed rate mortgage pass through securities that Old National will hold until they mature or prepay. Because these securities are among the longest duration securities in the company's investment portfolio, they are the most sensitive to declines in market values in the event of increased market interest rates.

At September 30, 2003, the investment securities available-for-sale portfolio had net unrealized gains of $14.0 million. This compares to net unrealized gain of $86.2 million and $94.8 million at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively. The decrease is a result of increased market interest rates and a decrease in the balance of investment securities available-for-sale during the third quarter of 2003. These unrealized gains are reported as a component of shareholder's equity, net of the related deferred tax effect.

Commercial and Consumer Loans
Commercial and consumer loans are the largest classification within the earning assets of Old National and represent 53.3% of earning assets at September 30, 2003, which is a slight increase from 52.3% and 53.0% at December 31, 2002 and September 30, 2002, respectively, despite the sales of $48.2 million of non-performing commercial loans as described in the paragraph below. Commercial and consumer loans were $4.652 billion at September 30, 2003, which has increased by 0.5% and 1.7% since December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2002, respectively. Old National has been affected by weakness in the economy of its principal markets, particularly in its home state of Indiana, which has resulted in minimal growth of commercial and consumer loans and tighter credit underwriting standards. Old National anticipates that when the economy in Old National's principal markets begins to turnaround, commercial and consumer loans will begin to show higher levels of growth.

Commercial loans have decreased 0.9% since December 31, 2002, and slightly increased from September 30, 2002. Commercial real estate loans showed a decrease of 3.6% since December 31, 2002, however remained relatively flat since September 30, 2002. During the third quarter of 2003, Old National sold $48.2 million of non-performing commercial loans, which contributed to the change in commercial and commercial real estate loans, at a net value of $36.9 million. The write-down on the sale of $11.3 million was recorded against the allowance for loan losses. Consumer loans have increased 10.3% since December 31, 2002, and 6.8% over prior year, primarily due to a renewed focus on home equity lending.

Residential Real Estate Loans
Old National continues to sell the majority of residential real estate loans originated as a strategy to better manage interest rate risk and liquidity. Old National retains the loan servicing to maintain customer relationships and generate noninterest income and fees. By using this strategy, Old National is able to recognize an immediate gain in noninterest income versus a small net interest income spread over a longer period of time. Old National continues to provide financing to its customers with the majority of the new or refinanced loans being sold into the secondary market with servicing retained. Old National sells the majority of the mortgage loans without recourse, currently having less than 1% of loans sold with recourse. During 2003, Old National developed additional mortgage products that fit within the company's interest rate risk profile that will be retained on the consolidated balance sheet. As a result of this strategy, Old National would expect to see a stabilization of residential loans on the consolidated balance sheet.

In the continuing low interest rate environment and the related boom in refinancing, residential real estate loans continue to liquidate at extraordinary levels. As of September 30, 2003, residential real estate loans represented 10.7% of earning assets as compared to 11.8% and 13.0% as of December 31, 2002, and September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2003, residential real estate loans were $934.2 million, which is a decrease of $109.6 million or 14.0% from December 31, 2002, and a decrease of $189.4 million or 16.9% from September 30, 2002.

Two additional factors in the decrease of residential real estate loans are the sales of delinquent loans in the third and second quarters of 2003. These sales were to improve credit quality and reduce the level of non-performing loans and are not a part of Old National's ongoing strategy. Delinquent residential mortgage loans of $3.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively, were sold to independent investors, at a net value of $2.2 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Write-downs of $1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, were recorded against the allowance for loan losses.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses
At September 30, 2003, total under-performing assets (defined as loans 90 days or more past due, nonaccrual, restructured loans and foreclosed properties) increased to $131.4 million from $117.7 million as of December 31, 2002. As of these dates, under-performing assets in total were 2.34% and 2.04%, respectively, of total loans, including residential loans held for sale, and foreclosed properties.

The table below shows the various components of under-performing assets.

Nonaccrual loans increased $9.9 million since December 31, 2002 to $110.2 million. This increase is a significant contributor to the higher ratio of under-performing assets to total loans and foreclosed properties. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans, including residential loans held for sale was 1.97% at September 30, 2003, compared to 1.74% at December 31, 2002. In a review of industry standards during 2003 and in discussions with regulators, the company strengthened its internal policies in regards to nonaccrual loans. At June 30, 2003, nonaccrual loans were $146.4 million, after Old National sold $11.1 million of non-performing loans during this second quarter of 2003. In order to reduce its level of nonaccrual loans further, Old National sold $51.6 million of non-performing loans during third quarter of 2003.

Old National continues to review the classified and criticized loans to minimize potential losses. Classified loans include non-performing loans, past due 90 days and other problem loans. Criticized loans, also known as watch list loans or special mention loans, are loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention and require specific quarterly reviews by the bank. Management is encouraged to see a decrease since December 31, 2002, in the total classified and criticized loans of $104.6 million to $608.2 million at September 30, 2003.

Management believes trends in nonaccrual loans will be influenced by the degree to which the economy strengthens. Old National operates in the Midwest, primarily in the state of Indiana, which has been particularly affected by the manufacturing dependent market. Indiana is the most highly industrialized state in the United States, relying on manufacturing for 20% of its jobs and 27% of gross state product. Therefore, Midwestern-region banks operating in Indiana have been facing more difficulties due to the economic decline. The longer the significant softness in manufacturing continues the more stress it puts on Old National's borrowers. Old National could potentially continue seeing additions to its nonaccrual loans.

During the third quarter of 2003, Old National maintained its allowance for loan losses at the same levels as June 30, 2003, even though nonaccrual loans decreased due to the sales of non-performing loans, bringing the reserve to the top of its range. Management believes that it has appropriately identified and reserved for any loan loss related to nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2003. In addition, approximately $44.8 million of nonaccrual loans are still contractually performing as of September 30, 2003. Management is continuing its efforts to reduce the level of non-performing loans and will consider the possibility of additional sales of troubled and non-performing loans, which could result in additional write-downs to the allowance for loan losses.

Old National had no restructured loans as of September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The level of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest fluctuates from quarter to quarter depending on specific facts and circumstances.

Year-to-date net charges against the allowance for loan losses for 2003 were $47.3 million as compared to $14.0 million year-to-date September 30, 2002. The 2003 charges include $14.7 million in write-downs from loans transferred to held for sale related to the second and third quarter loan sales, a $6.5 million single commercial credit charge-off resulting from fraud in the customer's operations during the third quarter.

A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectibility of principal or interest. 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 as nonaccrual is recorded to principal.

A loan is considered impaired under SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 5 and 15" when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. An impaired loan does not include larger groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, loans that are measured at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value, leases, and debt securities. During the third quarter of 2003, Old National revised its interpretation of impaired loans to include only commercial and commercial real estate nonaccrual loans, which is in accordance with SFAS No. 114. Previous to this change, Old National's interpretation of impaired loans was to include all problem credits with a potential collateral deficiency in the event of default. Had Old National made the interpretation to include only commercial and com mercial real estate nonaccrual loans in the prior year, impaired loans would have totaled $47.4 million rather than $277.4 million as reported at September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2003, the total impaired loan balance was $98.8 million of which $58.0 million had an allocated reserve of $20.6 million and $40.8 million had no specific reserve recorded.

In the opinion of management, Old National's consolidated loan portfolio is well diversified. Old National has no concentration of loans in any single industry exceeding 10% of its portfolio. In addition, the company has no exposure to foreign borrowers or lesser-developed countries.

Old National monitors the quality of its loan portfolio on an on-going basis and uses a combination of detailed credit assessments by relationship managers and credit officers, historic loss trends, and economic and business environment factors in determining its allowance for loan losses. Old National records monthly provisions for loan losses based on projected loans outstanding, grade changes, mix of loans, and expected losses. Detailed loan loss evaluation is performed quarterly to verify the assumptions in order to ensure adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management closely follows the progress of the economy and how the continuing slow recovery might affect Old National's borrowers in both the near and the intermediate term. Adjustments to the allowance for loan losses are made as deemed necessary for probable losses inherent in the portfolio. While an estimate of future losses is, by its very nature, difficult to precisely predict, management of Old National believes that the methodol ogy that it uses in determining an appropriate reserve for future losses is reasonable.

For commercial and commercial real estate loans, loan officers grade the larger loans in the portfolio at least annually or more frequently as determined by loan policy requirements. These loans are graded using specific guidelines based on loan characteristics as set by management and banking regulation. For impaired loans, an assessment is conducted as to whether there is any likely loss in the event of default. If such a loss is determined to be likely, the loss is quantified and a specific reserve is assigned to the loan. For the balance of the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolio, loan grade migration projections coupled with historic loss experience within the respective grades is also used to develop reserve requirement ranges. Consumer and residential real estate portfolio reserves are determined primarily through the use of historic loss ratios adjusted for future expectations of economic conditions.

At September 30, 2003, the allowance for loan losses was $99.4 million, an increase of $11.7 million compared to the allowance for loan losses of $87.7 million at December 31, 2002. The allowance for loan losses represents 82% of all under-performing loans at September 30, 2003, and represents 80% at December 31, 2002. As a percentage of total loans held for investment, the allowance increased from 1.55% at December 31, 2002 to 1.78% at September 30, 2003. During the third quarter of 2003, the provision for loan losses amounted to $27.5 million, which was an increase of $16.5 million over the same quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2003, the provision for loan losses was $59.0 million compared to the $26.0 million recorded for the same period of last year. Several factors contributed to the increase in the provision for loan losses including the continued uncertainty about the regional economy and changing loss expectations. Based on Old National's current allowance methodology, which give s an indicated range for the allowance, at September 30, 2003, Old National was at the top of its indicated range. The following table shows the allowance for loan losses broken down by loan category at the dates indicated.

The increase in the reserve for commercial and commercial real estate loans accounted for virtually all of the increase in the total reserve from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003. While the absolute level of classified and criticized loans actually decreased over the last few months, bank management believed that maintaining the allowance for loan losses at the June 30, 2003, level was appropriate given continued economic weakness and stresses in the Midwestern region on commercial borrowers. The desire to be at the top of the allowance methodology's indicated range, along with what management deems to be a continued weakness in economic and business conditions, prompted the $8.1 million increase in the reserve for commercial and commercial real estate loans. For commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, the reserve as a percentage of that portfolio increased from 2.23% at December 31, 2002 to 2.50% at September 30, 2003.

The reserve for consumer loans increased only slightly and the reserve as a percentage of loans in this portfolio was unchanged from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003 at 0.7% of the portfolio. This is reflective of little or no change in the performance and loss experience on the consumer loan portfolio. In addition, the reserve for residential mortgages as a percentage of that portfolio increased from 0.1% at December 31, 2003 to 0.4% at September 30,2003. This increase reflects an increase in historical loss rates due to the sales of non-performing residential loans and the movement to the top end of the range within the allowance.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles
As a part of Old National's strategy to grow the Old National Signature Group or non-bank services segment, the company acquired various financial services companies in 2002 and 2003. As part of these acquisitions, goodwill increased from $110.6 million at December 31, 2002 to $129.5 million at September 30, 2003. The additional goodwill in 2003 was from the acquisitions of the James L. Will Insurance Agency, based in Evansville, Indiana; the Graham and Peat Insurance Agency, based in St. Louis, Missouri; and Insurance and Risk Management, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In addition, goodwill increased $15.4 million from September 30, 2002 to December 31, 2002, which was related to the acquisition Terrill Group, Inc., an insurance agency located in St. Louis, Missouri. Old National performs impairment testing of goodwill annually.

Other intangible assets also increased from September 30, 2002, to September 30, 2003, primarily as a part of the non-bank services segment acquisitions. The 2003 acquisitions resulted in intangible assets related to customer business relationships of $16.8 million. From September 30, 2002, to December 31, 2002, acquisitions increased other intangible assets by $11.2 million related to customer business relationships.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights are assets recognized when loans are sold with servicing retained. The mortgage servicing rights' book value is recorded based on the market conditions as of the month the loan is sold, known as capitalization. Over the life of the loan, the value is amortized based on the estimated life of the loan. Fair value of the mortgage servicing rights is calculated monthly and impairment is recorded if the book value exceeds the fair value. The impairment is recorded to a valuation allowance, which can be recovered as the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights increases.

At September 30, 2003, the unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others was $1.706 billion, which is an increase of $334.0 million or 24.3% from September 30, 2002. During the third quarter of 2003, higher interest rates had a negative impact on loan originations but also resulted in a reduction of future prepayment speeds on the mortgage-servicing portfolio. This reduction in prepayment speeds resulted in an increase in the value of the company's mortgage servicing rights asset by reversing $5.1 million net of servicing rights impairment recorded to a valuation allowance in previous quarters. At September 30, 2003, net mortgage servicing rights asset as a percentage of the unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others was 0.87% compared to 0.79% at September 30, 2002. For more information regarding mortgage servicing rights and assumptions made by management in valuing the assets, refer to the critical accounting policies.

Funding
Old National's sources of funding are deposits and wholesale borrowings. Wholesale borrowings include short-term borrowings, other borrowings and trust preferred securities. Total funding was $8.685 billion at September 30, 2003, down 1.1% from December 31, 2002 and up 2.2% from September 30, 2002. Time deposits as a percentage of total funding decreased to 35.2% at September 30, 2003 from 36.9% at December 31, 2002 and 38.7% at September 30, 2002. Old National strategically priced certificates of deposits less aggressively during this period to encourage customers to move into transaction accounts rather than certificates of deposit.

Borrowed funds were 26.3% of total funding at September 30, 2003 compared to 26.5% at December 31, 2002 and 25.8% at September 30, 2002. Old National uses wholesale funding to augment deposit funding and to help maintain its desired interest rate risk position.

Deposits
Total deposits were $6.397 billion at September 30, 2003, which is a 0.9% decrease since December 31, 2002 and a 1.5% increase since September 30, 2002. Total transaction deposit accounts, including noninterest bearing, NOW, savings and money market, were $3.339 billion at September 30, 2003, which is a 5.4% increase since December 31, 2002 and an increase of $325.7 million or 10.8% since September 30, 2002. Old National has seen growth in noninterest-bearing demand, savings, NOW and money market accounts while strategically reducing the time deposits. Time deposits were $3.058 billion at September 30, 2003, which is a 7.1% decrease since December 31, 2002 and a decrease of $230.6 million or 7.0% since September 30, 2002.

Borrowed Funds
Short-term borrowings, comprised of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings, decreased $264.4 million since December 2002 and decreased $203.1 million since September 2002. Other borrowings, which are primarily advances from Federal Home Loan Banks, senior unsecured bank notes, subordinated bank notes and long-term securities sold under agreements to repurchase, increased $236.9 million over December 2002 and increased $292.9 million since September 2002. The increase in other borrowings since September 2002 and December 2002 was primarily to offset a reduction in certificates of deposits and to take advantage of favorable interest rates. In the second quarter of 2003, Old National issued an additional $100 million in fixed-rate medium-term notes which has been partially offset by maturities of $45 million. Also during 2003, other borrowings issued included long-term securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $115 million, net of maturities, and senior unsecured bank notes of $130 million under Old National Bank's global note program.

Capital
Total shareholders' equity decreased $18.9 million since December 2002 and $6.1 million since September 2002. The primary factor in the decrease to shareholders' equity related to accumulated other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains on investment securities, net of taxes, decreased $42.6 million since December 2002 and decreased $47.5 million since September 2002 due to an increase in market interest rates resulting in lower unrealized securities gains. This was despite the increase in the available-for-sale investment portfolio of $30.9 million from September 2002 to September 2003. This primary decrease in shareholders' equity was offset by net income from December 2002 of $65.1 million and $91.9 million from September 2002. Cash dividends paid of $0.57 per share, which totaled $36.3 million from December 2002 and $0.76 per share, which totaled $47.9 million from September 2002, reducing shareholders' equity. Old National purchased shares of its stock in the open market under an ongoing repurchas e program. Shares repurchased reduced shareholders' equity by $33.0 million from December of 2002 and $45.7 million from September 2002 to September 2003. Shares reissued for stock options and stock purchase plans added $6.5 million and $6.5 million to shareholders' equity from December 2002 and September 2002, respectively. Stock issued for purchase acquisition transactions totaled $21.3 million and $36.7 million from December 2002 and September 2002, respectively.

Market Risk Management
Inherent in Old National's balance sheet is market risk. Market risk is defined as the sensitivity of income, fair market values and capital to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and other relevant market rates or prices. The primary market risk to which Old National has exposure is interest rate risk. Old National has no material balance sheet exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates or commodity prices. All of Old National's interest rate risk arises from instruments, positions and transactions entered into for purposes other than trading, which include loans, securities, deposits, borrowings, capitalized mortgage servicing rights and derivative financial instruments.

Old National manages interest rate risk within an overall asset and liability management framework that includes attention to credit risk, liquidity risk and capitalization. A principal objective of asset/liability management is to manage the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates. Asset and liability management activity is governed by a policy reviewed and approved annually by the board of directors. The board of directors has delegated the oversight of the administration of this policy to the Funds Management Committee, a sub-committee of the board of directors, which meets quarterly. In addition, a second oversight committee, the Balance Sheet Management Committee comprised of senior executive managers, provides guidance for the execution of the activities.

Increases or decreases in interest rates cause changes in net interest income and fluctuations in the fair value of assets and liabilities. Additionally, increases and decreases in interest rates may cause changes in noninterest income and noninterest expense, particularly income from mortgage origination and sales and revenue from investment management. Interest rate risk arises because assets and liabilities may reprice, mature or prepay at different times or based upon different indices as market interest rates change. Changes in the slope of the yield curve and the pace of changes in interest rates may also impact net interest income and the fair value of the balance sheet.

Old National uses two modeling techniques to quantify the impact of changing interest rates on the company, Net Interest Income at Risk and Market Value of Equity. Net Interest Income at Risk is used by management and the board of directors to evaluate the impact of changing rates over a two year horizon while Market Value of Equity is more useful for long term interest rate risk.

The Net Interest Income at Risk and Market Value of Equity models are computer-based tools used to simulate the likely behavior of the company's net interest income and the likely change in the company's market value due to changes in interest rates. The monthly analysis incorporates current and possible interest rate scenarios and all of the company's interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments, new business assumptions, expected asset and liability repricing, and likely asset and liability prepayment behavior. Because the models are driven by expected behavior in various interest rate scenarios and many factors besides market interest rates impact the company's net interest income and value, Old National recognizes that model outputs are not guarantees of simulated results. For this reason, Old National models many different combinations of interest rates and balance sheet assumptions to best understand its overall sensitivity to market interest rate changes.

Old National Bancorp's board of directors, through its Funds Management Committee monitors the company's interest rate risk. The Funds Management Committee establishes policy guidelines for the allowable change in cumulative net interest income over a two year period and the change in Market Value of Equity in an up or down 200 basis point instantaneous parallel change to the yield curve (+/- 200 basis point yield curve shock). The current guidelines for Net Interest Income at Risk is +/- 5% of net interest income over a two-year period in a 200 basis point shock to the yield curve. As of September 30, 2003, Old National projects that in a -200 basis point shock to interest rates, net interest income would be down 0.55% cumulative over the next two years. In a +200 basis point shock to interest rates, Old National projects net interest income would be down 5.89% cumulative over the next two years. The current guidelines for the allowable fluctuation in Market Value of Equity are +/- 12% in a 200 basi s point shock to the yield curve. As of September 30, 2003, Old National projects Market Value of Equity to decrease by 2.43% in a -200 basis point shock to interest rates and to decrease by 9.69% in a +200 basis point shock.

Old National is currently slightly outside its policy of Net Interest Income at Risk in a +200 basis point interest rate shock. The significant steepening of the yield curve during the third quarter of 2003 and its impact on the duration of the company's investment portfolio contributed to the change in the company's interest rate risk profile from June 2003. The Funds Management and the Balance Sheet Management Committees have directed management to bring the company's rate sensitivity back within the policy guideline of +/- 5% of 2 year cumulative net interest income. By lengthening the repricing of its deposits and wholesale funding and continuing to reduce the size of its investment portfolio, the company expects to be back within its policy guideline by the end of 2004.

At September 30, 2003, Old National's most likely interest rate scenario is one in which interest rates gradually increase during the next 24 months. Many factors can impact the interest rate outlook and it is possible that the company's interest rate outlook could change. The Net Interest Income model scenario that most closely matches the company's current outlook is a 25 basis point upward shift in the yield curve quarterly for four quarters, then flat rates for the following four quarters (+100 basis point ramp). The estimated 24-month cumulative impact on net interest income in this scenario is -1.77%. Given that balance sheet assumptions and interest rate forecasts in the model are inherently uncertain, the company views the rate risk position as virtually neutral in this scenario. Additionally, as the company reduces the investment portfolio and lengthens the repricing of deposits and borrowings, it is likely that net interest income at risk in this scenario will also decrease.

All assumptions in the Net Interest Income at Risk and the Market Value of Equity models are uncertain and subject to change. The models are not intended to precisely predict future net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to the timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes, the differences between actual and assumed changes in the balance sheet, and changes in management strategies and market conditions.

Old National uses derivatives to manage interest rate risk in the ordinary course of business. The company does not utilize derivative instruments for speculative purposes. To manage its interest rate risk, Old National may enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in fair value or cash flows. The fair value hedges are interest rate agreements that hedge the change in fair value related to interest rate changes of hedged assets or liabilities. The cash flow hedge positions are interest rate agreements that hedge the forecasted cash flows from the hedged assets or liabilities. At September 30, Old National has entered into fair value interest rate swaps of $1.101 billion notional value. These swaps impact the fair value of various debt instruments issued by the company. Old National has entered into approximately $150.0 million notional value of cash flow hedges that impact the cash flows of floating rate consumer loans. These transactions serve to better balance the reprici ng of assets and liabilities in various rate change scenarios. Additionally, the company uses forward sale transactions to offset residential mortgage commitments to its customers. Old National commits to sell loans at specified prices in a future period, typically within 90 days. These are derivatives that protect the company from changes in interest rates after a commitment has been made to a customer or delivered to the final investor. The company also enters into interest rate derivatives, usually interest rate swaps or caps, with corporate borrowers. These positions are always offset with like transactions with capital markets counterparties, to ensure the company incurs no market risk with these transactions.

Liquidity Management
The Funds Management Committee of the board of directors and the Balance Sheet Management Committee establish liquidity risk guidelines and monitor liquidity risk. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure Old National has the ability to fund balance sheet growth and meet deposit and debt obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner. Management monitors liquidity through a regular review of asset and liability maturities, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk. The company maintains strategic and contingency liquidity plans. Strategic liquidity planning entails ensuring sufficient available funding to satisfy requirements for balance sheet growth. Generally, strategic liquidity planning focuses on properly managing capital markets' funding sources. Contingency liquidity planning focuses on the ability of the company to address unexpected liquidity requirements. Contingency funding plans ensure the company has the ability to liq uidate or pledge company assets to support unexpected decreases in deposits or wholesale funding.

Old National's ability to raise funding at competitive prices is influenced by rating agencies' views of the company's credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. The debt ratings in the following table reflect the rating agencies' recognition of the strong, consistent financial performance of Old National and the quality of the balance sheet.

Old National Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank, St. Louis. As of September 30, 2003, Old National Bank had the capacity to borrow $718.3 million from the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window. Old National Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Indianapolis, which provides a source of funding through FHLB advances. In addition, Old National maintains relationships in capital markets with brokers and dealers to issue certificates of deposits and short-term and medium-term bank notes.

In September 2001, Old National Bank established a $1 billion global bank note program for senior and subordinated debt in the United States and in international capital markets on both a syndicated and non-syndicated basis and in a variety of currencies and structures. As of September 30, 2003, Old National Bank had issued $190 million of senior unsecured bank notes and $150 million of subordinated bank notes under this program. At September 30, 2003, there is $660 million available for issuance.

Old National Bancorp, the parent company, has routine funding requirements consisting primarily of operating expenses, dividends to shareholders, debt service, net derivative cash flows and funds used for acquisitions. Old National Bancorp obtains funding to meet its obligations from dividends and management fees collected from its subsidiaries and the issuance of debt securities. At September 30, 2003, the parent company's other borrowings outstanding was $111.6 million, compared with $58.2 million at September 30, 2002. The increase in other borrowings in 2003 was driven by the issuance of $100.0 million of fixed-rate medium-term notes, which was partially offset by medium-term note maturities of $45.0 million. Old National Bancorp's debt scheduled to mature in the next 12-months is $3.2 million. These debt obligations are expected to be met through current cash balances and dividends from subsidiaries. Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. For further information regarding dividend restrictions, see Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2002 Annual Report.

At September 30, 2003, Old National has SEC shelf registration for the issuance of $200 million trust preferred securities of which $50 million is available for future issuance.

Results of Operations
Earnings Summary

Old National reported net income of $11.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared to $34.8 million for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net income was $65.1 million, a reduction of 28.6% from the $91.2 million recorded for the same period of last year. On a diluted per share basis, earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2003, were $0.18 compared to $0.55 for the same period of 2002. Year-to-date diluted earnings per share were $1.02 compared to $1.42 for the same period of 2002. Old National's return on average assets for the quarter was 0.49% and return on shareholders' equity of 6.54% for 2003, compared to prior year ratios of 1.49% and 20.74%, respectively. On a year-to date basis, Old National's return on average assets was 0.90% and return on shareholders' equity of 12.26% for 2003, compared to prior year ratios of 1.32% and 18.56%, respectively.

The most significant impact on 2003 results was the provision for loan losses. Old National's provision for loan losses totaled $27.5 million for the third quarter of 2003, which was an increase of $16.5 million over the $11.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the provision for loan losses totaled $59.0 million compared to the $26.0 million for the same period of last year. This increase is due to several factors including the continued uncertainty about the regional economy and changing loss expectations. To partially offset the increase in the provision for loan losses and the deterioration in the net interest margin, Old National recorded securities gains of $23.6 million during 2003.

During the third quarter of 2002, Old National finalized the sales of eight branches located in markets no longer considered consistent with the company's strategy. The sales resulted in a pre-tax gain of $12.5 million included in noninterest income and an after-tax gain of $8.3 million.

Although Old National's net income significantly decreased over 2002 due to the additional provision for loan losses, noninterest income reported growth over 2002 year-to-date results. With record levels of mortgage banking activity driven by low interest rates earlier in the year along with the recent quarter's reversal of mortgage servicing rights impairment recorded to a valuation allowance, and non-banking acquisitions in key target markets, Old National's diversification in revenue streams has partially offset the decline in net interest income. Old National will continue to focus on noninterest income revenue streams while carefully managing balance sheet risk positions to ensure that Old National is well positioned for the anticipated turnaround in market conditions. Old National is committed to managing the revenue and expense relationship with an appreciation for both short-term earnings requirements and long-term expectations.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin (taxable equivalent basis)
Net interest income is comprised of interest income and loan-related fees on earning assets less interest expense paid on liabilities. Net interest income is affected by many factors including interest rate fluctuations, accelerated prepayments of mortgage-related assets, composition and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income in the following discussion is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis, which adjusts tax-exempt or nontaxable interest income to an amount that would to be comparable to interest subject to income taxes using the federal statutory rate in effect of 35% for all periods. Net income is unaffected by these taxable equivalent adjustments as the offsetting increase of the same amount is made in the income tax section. The taxable equivalent adjustments to net interest income for the third quarter of 2003 and 2002 were $6.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Year-to-date taxable equivalent adjustments for September 30, 2003 and 2002, were $18.9 million and $18.5 million, respectively.

Third quarter net interest income for 2003 was $73.6 million, a 5.5% decrease from the $78.0 million recorded in the same quarter last year. On a year-to-date basis, net interest income amounted to $224.6 million, 5.6% below the $237.9 million during the same period of last year. The net interest margin for the third quarter was 3.32% down 3 basis points from the second quarter of 2003 and down 28 basis points from the 3.60% reported for the same quarter last year. For the first nine months of 2003, net interest margin was 3.38% compared to 3.70% for the same period of 2002. The decrease in net interest income reflects the continued weakness in loan demand and the related increase of earning assets into lower yielding investment portfolio assets along with the impact of higher levels of nonaccrual loans and the difficulty in lowering effective deposit rates. Old National maintains a constant focus on competitive deposit pricing and overall funding. Old National is continuing to face reinvestment opport unity challenges due to a short duration asset portfolio of loans and investments along with significant cash flows, primarily from the mortgage-related assets. Old National has maintained a relatively neutral net interest rate risk position and would expect that the pressure on the net interest income will continue until the economic and interest rate environment begins to improve.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings that management determines to be necessary to provide an adequate allowance for losses in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $27.5 million for the third quarter of 2003, a significant increase from the $11.0 million recorded during the same quarter in 2002. For the first nine months of 2003, the provision was $59.0 million compared to $26.0 million for the first nine months of 2002. The higher provision in 2003 was driven by the continued weak regional economy and the negative impact this is having on the quality of the loan portfolio, as reflected in the increase in non-performing loans at September 30, 2003, compared to September 30, 2002. Credit quality continues to be a significant variable in the earnings of the company and management continues to address these challenges aggressively. Refer to the "Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses" section for further discussion of non-performing loans, net charge-offs, and additio nal items impacting the provision.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2003 and 2002 was $45.8 million and $52.5 million, respectively, a decrease of $6.7 million. This decrease was primarily a result of the sales during the third quarter of 2002 of eight branches located in markets no longer considered consistent with the company's strategy, which resulted in a gain of $12.5 million included in noninterest income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, noninterest income amounted to $151.6 million compared to $114.1 million for the same period of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Old National realized $23.6 million of pre-tax gains on the sales of investment securities in comparison to $8.3 million for the same period of 2002. These gains for 2003 were taken to offset the increased provision for loan losses and the deterioration in the net interest margin. Investment securities transactions are part of the continuing management of the balance sheet to address interest rate and yield curve shifts.

Old National's continued strategy is to diversify and strengthen its noninterest income-related revenue sources, which has been beneficial during this downward turn in net interest income. A major contributor has been the mortgage banking operations, which has continued to generate strong revenue growth as a result of increased refinancing activities that generate various mortgage banking-related fees. A second major contributor to the increase in noninterest income has been the key acquisitions in the asset management consulting and insurance agency segments of the operations.

Mortgage banking revenues are comprised of mortgage servicing income, mortgage origination fees, gains or losses on the sales of mortgage loans, activity related to the company's mortgage servicing rights asset and changes in the fair value of derivatives related to mortgage banking. These revenues totaled $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $3.9 million for the same period of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, mortgage-related revenues were $17.3 million compared to $10.0 million for the same period of 2002 an increase of 72.7%. This increase is primarily attributable to the reversal of $5.1 million net of mortgage servicing rights impairment in the third quarter of 2003, which was recorded to a valuation allowance in previous quarters. Origination dollar volumes of loans sold on the secondary market also increased totaling $742.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $594.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. In additi on during the first quarter of 2003, Old National developed and initiated a policy and strategy to begin fair value hedge accounting for the closed loans held for sale warehouse. The primary objective of the hedge program is to minimize the overall risk of impairment loss in the warehouse portfolio due to changes in fair value driven by interest rates. The primary result of the hedge program is that it allows loans held for sale, which are recorded at the lower of cost or market by Old National to be marked to market in accordance with SFAS No. 133,"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended. The transition impact from the hedge program at September 30, 2003, increased mortgage-banking revenue by $142 thousand for the first nine months of 2003.

Deposit-related fees and service charges, which include return item and overdraft fees, service charges of checking, cash management fees and other deposit-related fees, were $11.5 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $10.8 million for the same period last year. On a year-to-date basis, service charges on deposit accounts amounted to $33.8 million an increase of 11.5% over the $30.3 million earned for the first nine months of 2002. The increase in 2003 over 2002 is primarily due to solid growth in transaction accounts and collection initiatives. Continued growth of deposit-related fees is contingent on the volume of customer transactions along with the level of deposits.

ATM fees for the usage of debit or ATM cards relate primarily to the volume of transactions. Despite an increase in volume, net fees earned from ATM transactions remained unchanged at $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to the same quarter of 2002, primarily due to the decrease in the interchange rates on debit transactions, which occurred in the industry. Based on future projections of transaction volumes, management does not anticipate the impact of this decrease to be material to operations. Net fees earned year-to-date 2003 were $5.7 million in comparison to $5.0 million for the same period of 2002. The year-to-date increases are due to the increased number of customer transactions occurring on a monthly basis.

Revenues related to trust, asset management, insurance brokerage and investment and annuity sales totaled $20.3 million during the third quarter of 2003 compared to $13.1 million during the same quarter of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, these revenues totaled $58.1 million an increase of 64.1% over the $35.4 million earned for the first nine months of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the key acquisitions in the asset management consulting and insurance agency operations of the company increased noninterest income $22.1 million year-to-date over 2002 results.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2003 totaled $75.5 million, an increase of $8.7 million, or 13.1% over the $66.7 million recorded in the third quarter of 2002. For the first nine months of 2003, noninterest expense was $219.6 million, an increase of $31.1 million over the $188.5 million recorded in the same period last year, an increase of 16.5%. A major contributor has been the acquisitions in both the asset management consulting and insurance agency operations, which added $6.4 million of expenses compared to the third quarter of 2002 and $18.6 million year-to-date. Additional sources of noninterest expense increases can be attributed to Old National's continued investment in technology, product innovations and the expansion of the Indianapolis, Indiana, presence. During the second quarter of 2003, Old National completed the opening of two additional branches in this market incurring added expense.

During 2003, Old National announced a further streamlining of management in banking and other operational areas of the company along with the closure of ten underperforming branches. As a result of these initiatives, Old National's year-to-date results included additional pre-tax expenses of $1.6 million for severance and other related charges. These actions are expected to result in annualized pre-tax expense reductions of approximately $5.0 million.

Salaries and benefits, together the largest individual component of noninterest expense, totaled $43.4 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to $38.7 million in the same period of last year. For the first nine months of 2003, salaries and benefits amounted to $129.2 million compared to the $109.7 million recorded in the same period of last year, an increase of 17.7%. The 2003 amount includes $13.5 million year-to-date directly related to the acquisitions in the both the asset management consulting and insurance agency segments of the operation. In addition, the 2003 amount includes $1.6 million of charges related to management streamlining and branch closures.

Old National consolidated its mortgage banking activities into a centralized structure during the third quarter 2002. Origination, production and servicing functions previously conducted throughout the company were organized into a single unit and the servicing of mortgages held by Old National and serviced for others has been subcontracted to an outside company. Processing expenses totaled $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to the $4.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, processing expenses were $14.0 million an increase of 44.4% over the $9.7 million recorded in the same period of 2002. The increases are primarily due to the additional costs associated with the servicing subcontractor and increased mortgage loan origination volumes.

Other noninterest expense, including occupancy, equipment, marketing, communication and transportation, FDIC insurance premiums, professional fees, loan expenses, intangible amortization and other expenses, totaled $27.1 million for the third quarter of 2003 compared to the $24.1 million for the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 12.5% or $3.0 million. Of this increase, $1.8 million was directly related to the acquisitions in the asset management consulting and insurance agency operations of the company. On a year-to date basis, other noninterest expense totaled $76.4 million for 2003 compared to $69.1 million for the same period of 2002, an increase of 10.5% or $7.3 million. Of this increase, $4.8 million is directly related to the acquisitions in the asset management consulting and insurance agency operations of the company.

Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was (14.9)% for the third quarter of 2003 compared to 24.9% in same quarter of 2002. Year-to-date, provision for income taxes, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 17.3% for 2003 compared to 23.3% in 2002. The negative third quarter tax rate and the decrease in the year-to-date tax rate was due to tax-exempt income as a percentage of total income being much greater. The reduction in total income was due to the provision for loan losses, which increased from September 30, 2003 over September 30, 2002 by $16.5 million for the three months ended and $33.0 million for the nine months ended.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk

For information regarding Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, refer to "Market Risk Management" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section herein.

ITEM 4.
Controls and Procedures

a.  Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Old National's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that Old National's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, are effective at the reasonable assurance level as discussed below to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Old National in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Old National's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclo sure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that Old National's disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be only reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

b.  Changes in internal controls. There have been no significant changes in Old National's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to above, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
