BUSINESS GENERAL Old National Bancorp ("Old National") is a financial holding company incorporated in the State of Indiana and maintains its principal executive office in Evansville, Indiana. Old National, through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, provides a wide range of services, including commercial and consumer banking, depository services, lease financing and other traditional banking services. Through its non-bank affiliates, Old National provides services to supplement the banking business including fiduciary and trust services, investment and brokerage services, asset management, insurance and other financial services. As of December 31, 2003, Old National employed 3,019 full-time equivalent employees. COMPANY PROFILE Old National Bank, Old National Bancorp's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, was founded in 1834 and is the oldest company in Evansville, Indiana. In 1982, Old National Bancorp was formed and in 2001 became a financial holding company. Also in 2001, Old National completed the consolidation of 21 bank charters enabling Old National to operate under a common name with consistent product offerings throughout the banking locations, improving back-office efficiency and allowing Old National to provide more convenient service to customers. Over the past several years, Old National has grown to include financial services operations in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. In 2002, Old National identified four components of growth essential to the achievement of the company's long-term earnings and financial performance objectives: o In Old National's traditional banking markets, growth strategies will be focused on adding products and services. Old National's operations in these communities continue to account for a high percentage of the company's revenue and the growth of revenue from these slower growth markets will come primarily from providing additional services to current customers. o Old National Signature Group is responsible for fee-based services such as insurance, investment, trust, asset management, financial planning and similar non-traditional banking services. It is anticipated that these units will generate revenue growth at rates exceeding Old National's traditional banking products. o Mortgage lending is a traditional offering at Old National banking centers. By aligning these mortgage initiatives more closely and focusing a management team on them, Old National has improved efficiencies, added new products and increased revenue. In addition, Old National plans to use stand-alone mortgage offices to help gain entry into new markets. o Old National is continuing to add to its presence in Indianapolis, Louisville and St. Louis, where it anticipates opportunities to attract high-value clients to Old National's strong service emphasis. During the third quarter of 2003, Old National determined that it must intensify its efforts to improve lending administration and overall operating efficiency in order to improve its overall financial performance. Old National has identified the following initiatives as having very high priority: o Improving credit quality approval processes and disciplines and the ------------------------------------------------------------------- reduction of non-performing loans in the portfolio -------------------------------------------------- Lending operations have been reorganized to realign the traditional relationship management and credit analysis functions. Local lending and customer relationship officers will still have primary responsibility for business development and loan approval, but credit analysts independent of local bank management will work with lenders on credit approvals. This formalized process will ensure consistency in underwriting criteria across the organization, while maintaining a strong commitment to being responsive to customer needs. In addition to these efforts aimed at improving the quality of new loans, additional staff and resources have been assigned to 3 manage the problem loan portfolio. These efforts include intensified work-out and restructuring efforts with borrowers, negotiations with borrowers to move the credit relationship to other lenders, and the consideration of the sale of pools of problem loans. o Improving efficiencies and optimizing profit in all aspects of the ------------------------------------------------------------------ operation through an intense company-wide review of revenue and expense ----------------------------------------------------------------------- opportunities ------------- Old National retained the services of EHS Partners, LLC to assist in this project. EHS has worked with a wide range of financial institutions similar to Old National that have experienced growth through acquisitions and product expansion and had a desire to conduct a similar company-wide operations review. The project, referred to as "Ascend," involves two phases. The first phase is an intensive idea generation and evaluation process which is expected to be completed in early April 2004. The implementation of profit improvement strategies is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2004 and to be fully implemented by the end of 2005. ACQUISITION STRATEGY Since the formation of Old National Bancorp in 1982, Old National has acquired more than 40 financial institutions and financial services companies. As a part of Old National's four component strategy as previously described, Old National has acquired several financial services companies primarily to grow the non-bank services segment and to achieve a presence in various targeted metro markets: o Insurance and Risk Management based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, acquired in August 2003, is an insurance agency that offers products including commercial and personal property and casualty insurance, employee benefits insurance and third party administrator services. o Graham and Peat Insurance Agency based in St. Louis, Missouri, acquired in June 2003, is an insurance agency that offers property and casualty and life insurance. o James L. Will Insurance Agency, Inc., based in Evansville, Indiana, acquired in May 2003, is an insurance agency focused on commercial property and casualty as well as personal lines of insurance. o Terrill Group, Inc., based in St. Louis, Missouri, acquired in December 2002, is an insurance agency that offers property and casualty, health, life, disability and accident insurance. o Fund Evaluation Group, Inc., acquired July 2002, is an investment and consulting firm based in Cincinnati, Ohio, that provides investment consulting and performance management services to a wide range of institutional clients. In the future, Old National will continue to pursue opportunities to acquire both financial institutions and financial services companies, focusing on the following primary objectives: o Acquire financial institutions in the Midwestern and South-central regions of the United States, generally with assets in the range of $200 million to $3 billion. o Acquire financial services companies located in, but not limited to, the same geographic markets that provide products and services consistent with and complementary to those products and services offered by Old National Signature Group. As with previous acquisitions, the consideration paid by Old National will be in the form of cash, debt or Old National Bancorp stock. The amount and structure of such consideration is based on reasonable growth and cost savings assumptions and a thorough analysis of the impact on both long and short term financial results. OPERATING SEGMENTS Old National has been divided into three operating segments: community banking, non-bank services and treasury. A description of each segment is described below. Community Banking Segment The community banking segment, operating under the name of Old National Bank, has traditionally been the most significant contributor to Old National, historically representing approximately 80% of consolidated net income. The primary goal of the community banking segment is to provide products and services that address the client's needs and help clients reach their financial goals by providing quality services at prices that are fair. Old National's 4 banking centers focus on convenience factors such as location, adequate space for private consultations, quick client access to routine transactions and good parking. As of December 31, 2003, Old National's affiliate bank operated over 120 banking centers in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and a limited area in Ohio. The community banking segment primarily consists of lending and depository activities, but also includes services such as merchant services, cash management services, payroll services, Internet banking and services relating to the general banking business. In addition, the community banking segment includes the Indiana Old National Insurance Company ("IONIC") and Central Life Insurance Company, which reinsure credit life insurance. IONIC also provides captive property and casualty insurance for Old National and reinsures most of the coverage with non-affiliated carriers. Lending Activities Old National earns interest income on loans as well as fee income from the origination of loans. Lending activities include loans to individuals, which primarily consist of home equity lines of credit, residential real estate loans and consumer loans, and loans to small business and commercial customers, which include commercial loans, commercial real estate, letters of credit and lease financing. Typically, fixed-rate residential real estate loans are sold to secondary investors with servicing rights retained by Old National, with gains or losses from the sales being recognized, while adjustable-rate loans are held in the portfolio. Depository Activities Old National strives to provide depository services to individuals and commercial customers that fit their needs at competitive rates. Old National pays interest on the interest-bearing deposits and receives service fee revenue on various accounts. The transaction accounts include products such as noninterest-bearing demand, NOW, savings and money market, and time deposits. Debit and ATM cards provide access to the customer's accounts 24 hours a day at any ATM location. Old National also provides 24-hour telephone access as well as other electronic banking services. Non-bank Services Segment The non-bank services segment provides a variety of financial services including investment advisory and trust services, investment and brokerage services, asset management consulting services and insurance agency services. Old National has identified the non-bank services segment as an important growth opportunity. This accelerates Old National's transition to a financial services company with broader client relationships and less dependence on interest rate conditions. The non-bank services, especially those geared toward high net worth clients, help open new markets for Old National. Old National's non-bank services segment operates in the same geographical markets as the community banking segment and through acquisitions has broadened its scope to include Missouri and expanded its area in Ohio. Investment Advisory and Trust Services Fiduciary and trust services are offered through an affiliate trust company under the business name of Old National Trust Company. Signal Capital Management, Inc., an affiliate of Old National Trust Company, provides fee-based asset management and manages and sells mutual funds. Investment and Brokerage Services ONB Investments Services, Inc., a registered broker-dealer, operates as a subsidiary of Old National Bank in order to provide bank customers with convenient and professional investment services and a variety of brokerage products. ONB Investment Services, Inc. offers a full-array of investment options and investment advice to bank customers and members of the general public. Asset Management Consulting Services Fund Evaluation Group, Inc. specializes in portfolio structure, investment management research and performance reporting, providing asset management consulting services to its investment customers. Insurance Agency Services Through its insurance agency subsidiaries, Old National offers full service insurance brokerage services including commercial property and casualty, surety loss control services, employee benefits consulting and administration, and 5 personal insurance. These subsidiaries are insurance agencies that offer products that are issued and underwritten by various insurance companies not affiliated with Old National. Treasury Segment Treasury manages investments, wholesale funding, interest rate risk, liquidity and leverage for Old National. Additionally, treasury provides other miscellaneous capital markets products for Old National's corporate banking customers. Additional information about Old National's business segments is included in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements. MARKET AREA Old National operates primarily in the state of Indiana, with limited presence in the northern part of the state. Old National is also located in the eastern and southeastern regions of Illinois and central and western regions of Kentucky and has a strong presence in Clarksville, Tennessee. These markets include a number of densely populated areas as well as rural areas in which Old National has achieved the first or second ranking in deposit share. The income classes include some high-income areas as well as many middle-income and some low-to-moderate income areas. In addition, through acquisitions, the market area has expanded to include insurance agency operations based in St. Louis, Missouri, and asset management consulting based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Old National continues to add to its metropolitan strategy in order to increase its presence within targeted cities including Indianapolis, Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky; and St. Louis, Missouri. Old National is considering expansion into additional larger metropolitan markets within a 250-mile radius of Old National's Evansville, Indiana, headquarters. Indiana, Old National's primary state of operations, has faced several long-term challenges to its future growth and has been among the national leaders in job losses over the past few years. According to a report issued by the U.S. Conference of Mayors in coordination with the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns, Indiana is the most highly industrialized state in the nation. Indiana relies on manufacturing for 20.2% of jobs and 27.2% of Gross State Product as of May 2003. This almost doubles the U.S. average dependence on manufacturing for jobs and Gross State Product. The manufacturing industry has been one of the most affected by the economic downturn experienced by the nation. The following table reflects Old National's market share for significant markets with most recent data available.

Within its six-state geography, Old National competes with financial services providers such as local, regional and national banking institutions, savings and loan associations, credit unions, thrifts, finance companies and mortgage banking companies. In addition, Old National's non-bank services segment faces competition with investment brokers, asset managers and advisory services, money market and mutual fund companies and insurance agencies. 6 SUPERVISION AND REGULATION Old National is registered as a bank holding company and has elected to be a financial holding company. It is subject to the supervision of, and regulation by, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHC Act"). The Federal Reserve has issued regulations under the BHC Act requiring a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that, pursuant to this requirement, a bank holding company should stand ready to use its resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity. The BHC Act requires the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to acquire more than a 5% voting interest of any bank or bank holding company. Additionally, the BHC Act restricts Old National's non-banking activities to those which are determined by the Federal Reserve to be closely related to banking and a proper incident thereto. On July 30, 2002, the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States (Congress) enacted the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, a law that addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosures of corporate information. The New York Stock Exchange has also proposed corporate governance rules that were presented to the Securities and Exchange Commission for review and approval. The proposed changes are intended to allow stockholders to more easily and efficiently monitor the performance of companies and directors. Effective August 29, 2002, as directed by Section 302(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Old National's principal executive officer and principal financial officer are required to certify that Old National's quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statements of a material fact. The rules also require that these officers certify that they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of Old National's internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors about internal controls; and they have included information in Old National's quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in Old National's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subject to the evaluation. On January 23, 2003, the Board of Directors of Old National Bancorp approved various corporate governance matters to strengthen and improve its already strong corporate governance practices. The Board adopted a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, amended the Audit Committee Charter and adopted a Compensation Committee Charter. In addition, the Board of Directors approved Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to all officers and employees as well as Directors of the Corporation, and a Senior Financial and Executive Officer Code of Ethics. These documents are available for review under the Corporate Governance link on Old National's website at www.oldnational.com. On October 26, 2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 was signed into law. Enacted in response to the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, the Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcement's and the intelligence community's ability to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The potential impact of the Patriot Act on financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide-ranging. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires various regulations, including: (a) due diligence requirements for financial institutions that administer, maintain, or manage private banks accounts or correspondent accounts for non-U.S. persons; (b) standards for verifying customer identification at account opening; (c) rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering; (d) reports by non-financial trades and business filed with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for transactions exceeding $10,000; and (e) filing of suspicious activities reports by brokers and dealers if they believe a customer may be violating U.S. laws and regulations. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is required to guarantee the compliance of any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become "undercapitalized" (as defined in FDICIA) with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal bank regulatory agency. Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve's risk-based capital guidelines. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") have adopted 7 risk-based capital ratio guidelines to which depository institutions under their respective supervision are subject. The guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations. Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments to four risk-weighted categories, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater risk. Old National's affiliate bank met all risk-based capital requirements of the FDIC and OCC as of December 31, 2003. For Old National's regulatory capital ratios and regulatory requirements as of December 31, 2003, see Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements. Old National's affiliate bank is subject to the provisions of the National Bank Act, is supervised, regulated and examined by the OCC, and is subject to the rules and regulations of the OCC, Federal Reserve and the FDIC. A substantial portion of Old National's cash revenue is derived from dividends paid to it by its affiliate bank. These dividends are subject to various legal and regulatory restrictions as summarized in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements. Both federal and state law extensively regulates various aspects of the banking business, such as reserve requirements, truth-in-lending and truth-in-savings disclosures, equal credit opportunity, fair credit reporting, trading in securities and other aspects of banking operations. Branching by Old National's affiliate bank is subject to the jurisdiction and requires notice to or the prior approval of the OCC. Old National and its affiliate bank are subject to the Federal Reserve Act, which restricts financial transactions between banks and affiliated companies. The statute limits credit transactions between banks, affiliated companies and its executive officers and its affiliates. The statute prescribes terms and conditions for bank affiliate transactions deemed to be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, and restricts the types of collateral security permitted in connection with a bank's extension of credit to an affiliate. Additionally, all transactions with an affiliate must be on terms substantially the same or at least as favorable to the institution as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated parties. FDICIA accomplished a number of sweeping changes in the regulation of depository institutions, including Old National's affiliate bank. FDICIA requires, among other things, federal bank regulatory authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to banks which do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA further directs that each federal banking agency prescribe standards for depository institutions and depository institution holding companies relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, management compensation, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses, a minimum ratio of market value to book value of publicity traded shares and such other standards as the agency deems appropriate. The deposits of Old National's affiliate bank are insured up to $100,000 per insured account by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), which is administered by the FDIC, except for deposits acquired in connection with affiliations with savings associations, which deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Accordingly, Old National's affiliated bank pays deposit insurance premiums to both BIF and SAIF. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 allows for interstate banking and interstate branching without regard to whether such activity is permissible under state law. Bank holding companies may now acquire banks anywhere in the United States subject to certain state restrictions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA") permits bank holding companies which have elected to become financial holding companies to engage in a substantially broader range of non-banking activities, including securities, investment advice and insurance activities, than is permissible for bank holding companies that have not elected to become financial holding companies. Old National has elected to be a financial holding company. As a result, Old National may underwrite and sell securities and insurance. It may acquire, or be acquired by, brokerage firms and insurance underwriters. GLBA established new requirements for financial institutions to provide enhanced privacy protections to customers. In June of 2000, the Federal banking agencies jointly adopted a final regulation providing for the implementation of these protections. Financial institutions are required to provide notice to consumers which 8 details its privacy policies and practices, describes under what conditions a financial institution may disclose nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties and provides an "opt-out" method which enables consumers to prevent the financial institution from disclosing customer information to nonaffiliated third parties. Financial institutions were required to be in compliance with the final regulation by July 1, 2001, and Old National was in compliance at such date and continues to be in compliance. In addition to the matters discussed above, Old National's affiliate bank is subject to additional regulation of its activities, including a variety of consumer protection regulations affecting its lending, deposit and collection activities and regulations affecting secondary mortgage market activities. The earnings of financial institutions are also affected by general economic conditions and prevailing interest rates, both domestic and foreign and by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its various agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. Additional legislative and administrative actions affecting the banking industry may be considered by the United States Congress, state legislatures and various regulatory agencies, including those referred to above. It cannot be predicted with certainty whether such legislative or administrative action will be enacted or the extent to which the banking industry in general or Old National and its affiliate bank in particular would be affected. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS The following is a cautionary note about forward-looking statements. In its oral and written communication, Old National from time to time includes forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements can include statements about estimated cost savings, plans and objectives for future operations, and expectations about performance as well as economic and market conditions and trends. They often can be identified by the use of words like "expect," "may," "could," "intend," "project," "estimate," "believe" or "anticipate." Old National may include forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Form 10-K, in other written materials, and in oral statements made by senior management to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. It is intended that these forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Old National undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the forward looking statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. By their nature, forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statement. Uncertainties which could affect Old National's future performance include, but are not limited to: (1) economic, market, operational, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with Old National's business; (2) economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry; (3) increased competition in the financial services industry either nationally or regionally, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration; (4) volatility and direction of market interest rates; (5) governmental legislation and regulation (see the discussion under the heading "Supervision and Regulation" above), including changes in accounting regulation or standards; (6) ability of Old National to execute its business plan; (7) a weakening of the economy which could materially impact credit quality trends and the ability to generate loans; (8) changes in the securities markets; and (9) changes in fiscal, monetary and tax policies.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2003 net income of Old National decreased significantly compared to previous years. Old National was negatively affected by considerable credit quality issues during 2003, resulting in substantially increased provisions for loan losses. In addition, a reserve for the settlement of pending litigation resulted in $10.0 million of additional expenses for the year. Weak loan demand in the markets served by Old National as well as low interest rates negatively affected the net interest margin. As a result of management's balance sheet strategies, Old National's financial condition showed a decrease in assets and liabilities at December 31, 2003, reflecting heavy refinancing of residential real estate loans during the year, a reduction in the investment portfolio, and a reduction of certificates of deposits and borrowed funds. Management uses various indicators such as return on assets, return on equity and asset quality ratios in order to evaluate the performance of the business. These are discussed throughout this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." FINANCIAL BASIS The following discussion is an analysis of Old National's results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2003, and financial condition as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Old National's consolidated financial statements and related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements concerning Old National's business that are based on estimates and involves certain risks and uncertainties. Therefore, future results could differ significantly from management's current expectations and the related forward-looking statements. See Item 1, "Business" for further information regarding forward-looking statements. 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 the annual report, 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 judgements 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 rights and the valuation of goodwill and intangibles. Actual results could differ from those estimates. o Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio and historical loss experience. The allowance represents management's best estimate, but significant downturns in circumstances relating to loan quality and economic conditions could result in a requirement for additional allowance in the near future. Likewise, an upturn in loan quality and improved economic conditions may allow a reduction in the required reserve. In either instance, unanticipated changes could have a significant impact on results of operations. The allowance is increased through a provision charged to operating expense. Uncollectible loans are charged-off through the allowance. Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added to the allowance. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that contractual interest and principal payments will not be collected either for the amounts or by the dates as scheduled in the loan agreement. Old National's policy for recognizing income on impaired loans is to accrue interest unless a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. o 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 mortgage servicing rights retained based on the relative fair values of each. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing income derived from related cash flows. Amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is determined in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Impairment of 12 mortgage servicing rights exists if the book value of the mortgage servicing rights exceed its estimated fair value. In determining impairment, mortgage servicing rights are stratified by interest rates. Critical assumptions used in determining fair value 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 expected mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced. Fair values, using estimated mortgage loan prepayment rates, are derived from a third-party statistical model. Negative adjustments to the 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. o Goodwill and Intangibles. Effective January 1, 2002, Old National adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 discontinued amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets. Intangible assets with a determinable useful life continue to be amortized over that period. For purchase acquisitions, Old National is required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed at their fair value, which in many instances involves estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques that may include estimates of attrition, inflation, asset growth rates or other relevant factors. In addition, the determination of the useful lives for which an intangible asset will be amortized is subjective. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived assets recorded must be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, as well as on an interim basis if events or changes indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss must be recognized for any excess of carrying value over fair value of the goodwill or the indefinite-lived intangible with subsequent reversal of the impairment loss being prohibited. The tests for impairment fair values are based on internal valuations using management's assumptions of future growth rates, future attrition, discount rates, multiples of earnings or other relevant factors. The resulting estimated fair values could have a significant impact on the carrying values of goodwill or intangibles and could result in impairment losses affecting the financials of the company as a whole and the individual lines of business in which the goodwill or intangibles reside. Management believes the accounting estimates related to the allowance for loan losses; the capitalization, amortization and valuations of mortgage servicing rights; 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 disclosure relating to it in this Management's Discussion and Analysis. 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 or includes amounts or adjustments that are not 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 annual report on Form 10-K. ACQUISITION, CONSOLIDATION 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 non-bank services 13 segment, also referred to as the Old National Signature Group, and expanded Old National into its targeted metropolitan markets. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for more details regarding the various acquisitions. During the third quarter of 2002, Old National finalized branch sales in markets no longer considered consistent with the company's strategy resulting in a pre-tax gain of $12.5 million and an after-tax gain of $8.3 million. The branch sales resulted in a decrease in total loans of $107.3 million and total deposits of $202.9 million. During 2001, Old National completed its One Bank consolidation project that started in 1999 with the merger of its remaining banking charters into one bank. The goals of One Bank included a single brand image, common products offered throughout the banking locations and improved back-office efficiency. In the second quarter of 2001, Old National further streamlined its regional banking administrative structure and incurred after-tax expenses of $5.9 million in the consolidation of acquisitions made in 2000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Earnings Summary In 2003, Old National generated $70.4 million of net income and $1.05 net income per share compared to $117.9 million and $1.75, respectively in 2002. The 2002 earnings included an $8.3 million, or $0.12 per share, after-tax gain on branch sales. Old National's return on average assets was 0.74% and return on average shareholders' equity was 9.48% for the year, which decreased significantly from 2002 ratios of 1.27% and 17.05%, respectively. The most significant impact on net income in 2003 was the provision for loan losses of $85.0 million, an increase of $51.5 million over the $33.5 million recorded in 2002, resulting from significant deterioration in credit quality. Other significant factors negatively affecting net income included weak commercial loan demand, deterioration of the net interest margin from declining interest rates, and a charge of $10.0 million pre-tax, or $6.7 million after-tax, to establish a reserve related to litigation settlements. During 2003, Old National recognized $23.6 million of gains on the sales of investment securities compared to $12.4 million recognized in 2002. In addition, record origination volumes in mortgage operations and acquisitions in the non-bank services segment had a positive impact on 2003 earnings results. Business Line Results Old National is managed in three primary business segments. Table 1 summarizes Old National's business line results for the years ended December 31. BUSINESS LINE RESULTS (TABLE 1) ------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Community banking $58,759 $93,260 $78,671 Non-bank services 4,472 2,402 2,200 Treasury 13,916 13,988 18,093 Other (6,734) 8,282 (5,920) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Consolidated net income $70,413 $117,932 $93,044 =================================================================== The 2003 community banking segment profit decreased $34.5 million from 2002. Increases in noninterest income of $13.3 million over 2002, were offset by the increased provision for loan losses of $51.5 million and decreases in net interest income of $6.8 million. Net interest income suffered from the refinancing of residential real estate loans, with many of the new loans being sold into the secondary market, and weak commercial and commercial real estate loan demand in the regions served by Old National. Noninterest income for 2003 increased primarily due to the increased mortgage banking activity during the current year. Noninterest expense increased $8.3 million, or 3.4% primarily due to outside processing expenses related to the third-party subcontracting of the servicing functions of Old National's mortgage banking activities. The 2003 non-bank services segment profit increased $2.1 million from 2002 primarily due to acquisitions of several insurance agencies and an asset management company over the past year and a half. These acquisitions increased noninterest income by $29.4 million and noninterest expense by $24.8 million over 2002. 14 The treasury segment showed very little change in 2003 as compared to 2002, as the net securities gains increase of $11.1 million in 2003 compared to 2002, was offset by an $11.6 million decrease in net interest income for this segment. Treasury's net interest income included income derived from the company's interest rate risk position that was negatively impacted by declining interest rates during most of 2003. The "Other" segment profit included gains or charges which management chose not to allocate to the various segments. "Other" for 2003 included expenses to record the litigation reserve of $10.0 million and 2002 included the gain of $12.5 million related to the sales of branches. Net Interest Income Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds, was the most significant component of Old National's earnings, comprising over 58% of Old National's 2003 revenues. Net interest income and net interest margin 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 be comparable to interest subject to income taxes using the federal statutory tax rate in effect of 35% for all periods. Net income is unaffected by these taxable equivalent adjustments. Net interest income included taxable equivalent adjustments of $25.1 million for 2003 and $25.2 million for 2002. Net interest income and margin are influenced by many factors, primarily the volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources and the interest rate fluctuations. Other factors include accelerated prepayments of mortgage-related assets and the composition and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Loans typically generate more interest income than investment securities with similar maturities. Funding from customer deposits generally cost less than wholesale funding sources. Factors, such as general economic activity, Federal Reserve Board monetary policy and price volatility of competing alternative investments, can also exert significant influence on Old National's ability to optimize its mix of assets and funding and its net interest income and margin. Taxable equivalent net interest income was $297.1 million in 2003, a 5.6% decrease from the $314.6 million reported in 2002. The net interest margin was 3.37% for 2003, compared to 3.65% reported for 2002. Average earning assets grew $191.2 million, which primarily consisted of increased investment securities of $417.6 million net of decreased loans of $226.8 million, while the yield on average earning assets declined 103 basis points from 6.65% to 5.62%. Much of the asset growth was funded by interest-bearing liabilities that increased $172.5 million or 2.2%, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined only 83 basis points from 3.32% to 2.49%. Noninterest-bearing deposits provided an additional $40.5 million in funding and other liabilities and equity increased $75.1 million. The decline in interest rates was the primary factor contributing to lower net interest income and net interest margin in 2003. The target Federal funds rate, the rate that dictates national prime rate and determines many other short-term loan and liability rates, declined in June 2003 to 1.00% and was unchanged through the remainder of the year. Market-driven interest rates, as evidenced by the five-year United States Treasury Note yield, decreased during 2003 before rebounding by the end of 2003. The five-year Treasury note yield fell from 2.93% in January 2003 to 2.29% in May 2003 before increasing to 3.25% by December 2003. The decrease in interest rates during 2003 had a significant impact on the mix and yield of earning assets. Driven by lower rates, many of the company's residential real estate loans were refinanced in 2003, with the new loan production being sold into the secondary loan market, shrinking the residential loan portfolio. Additionally, commercial and commercial real estate loans did not grow appreciably during the year, a result of both continued weak loan demand in our markets and more stringent loan underwriting standards. The decline in loans shifted much of the company's asset growth to investment securities, a lower yielding asset class compared to loans. In addition, many of the company's investment securities matured, prepaid or were sold in 2003 because of lower rates and were replaced by lower yielding securities. Table 2 presents a three-year average balance sheet and for each major asset and liability category, its related interest income and yield or its expense and rate for the years ended December 31. Table 3 shows fluctuations in net interest income attributable to the impact of changes in the average balances of assets and liabilities and the yields earned or rates paid for the years ended December 31. 15 THREE-YEAR AVERAGE BALANCE SHEET AND NET INTEREST ANALYSIS (TABLE 2) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ------------------------------ (tax equivalent basis, Average Interest Yield/ Average Interest Yield/ Average Interest Yield/ dollars in thousands) Balance & Fees Rate Balance & Fees Rate Balance & Fees Rate - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earning Assets Money market investments $ 26,284 $ 314 1.19 % $ 25,841 $ 383 1.48 % $ 21,683 $ 805 3.71 % Investment securities: U.S. Treasury and Government agencies (1) 2,338,860 94,475 4.04 1,934,693 100,076 5.17 1,254,893 79,644 6.35 States and political subdivisions (4) 667,498 46,856 7.02 656,085 46,777 7.13 581,725 41,125 7.07 Other securities 122,507 5,956 4.86 120,467 7,135 5.92 159,501 10,155 6.37 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total investment securities 3,128,865 147,287 4.71 2,711,245 153,988 5.68 1,996,119 130,924 6.56 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans: (2) Commercial (4) 1,686,664 94,706 5.61 1,690,377 111,201 6.58 1,691,817 138,433 8.18 Commercial real estate 1,866,105 109,475 5.87 1,844,492 127,877 6.93 1,855,338 152,575 8.22 Residential real estate (3) 1,003,098 63,947 6.37 1,286,664 94,135 7.32 1,682,167 130,664 7.77 Consumer, net of unearned income 1,095,567 79,142 7.22 1,056,730 84,976 8.04 1,051,673 97,627 9.28 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loans (3) 5,651,434 347,270 6.14 5,878,263 418,189 7.11 6,280,995 519,299 8.27 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total earning assets 8,806,583 $494,871 5.62 % 8,615,349 $572,560 6.65 % 8,298,797 $651,028 7.84 % =============== =============== =============== Less: Allowance for loan losses (93,154) (81,365) (74,491) Non-Earning Assets Cash and due from banks 178,189 186,534 180,227 Other assets 660,360 543,421 459,941 - ------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- Total assets $9,551,978 $9,263,939 $8,864,474 =========================================== ========== ========== Interest-Bearing Liabilities NOW deposits $1,504,662 $ 13,550 0.90 % $1,215,858 $ 15,033 1.24 % $ 930,120 $ 14,712 1.58 % Savings deposits 479,328 3,511 0.73 462,633 5,454 1.18 409,220 7,839 1.92 Money market deposits 612,044 5,729 0.94 644,037 10,003 1.55 778,366 25,864 3.32 Time deposits 3,061,922 115,881 3.78 3,468,623 156,070 4.50 3,706,416 205,199 5.54 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-bearing deposits 5,657,956 138,671 2.45 5,791,151 186,560 3.22 5,824,122 253,614 4.35 Short-term borrowings 687,588 7,258 1.06 688,958 10,971 1.59 583,035 21,862 3.75 Other borrowings 1,590,262 51,812 3.26 1,283,225 60,423 4.71 1,062,377 62,932 5.92 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-bearing liabilities 7,935,806 $197,741 2.49 % 7,763,334 $257,954 3.32 % 7,469,534 $338,408 4.53 % =============== =============== =============== Noninterest-Bearing Liabilities Demand deposits 752,788 712,308 664,347 Other liabilities 120,300 96,601 86,499 Shareholders' equity 743,084 691,696 644,094 - ------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $9,551,978 $9,263,939 $8,864,474 =========================================== ========== ========== Interest Margin Recap Interest income/average earning assets $494,871 5.62 % $572,560 6.65 % $651,028 7.84 % Interest expense/average earning assets 197,741 2.25 257,954 3.00 338,408 4.07 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income and margin $297,130 3.37 % $314,606 3.65 % $312,620 3.77 % ============================================================================================================================= (1) Includes Government agency mortgage-backed securities.

Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings that management determines necessary to provide an adequate allowance for losses in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses was $85.0 million for 2003, a significant increase from the $33.5 million recorded in 2002. Refer to "Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality " section for further discussion of non-performing loans, charge-offs and additional items impacting the provision. Noninterest Income Old National generates revenues in the form of noninterest income through fees and sales commissions from its core banking franchise and other related businesses, such as trust and asset management, investment products and insurance. This source of revenue has grown as a percentage of total revenue to 39.3% in 2003 compared to 32.9% in 2002, which has been beneficial during this downward turn 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. Noninterest income for 2003 was $192.1 million, an increase of $37.7 million, or 24.4% over the $154.5 million reported for 2002. In 2003, Old National realized $23.6 million of gains on the sales of investment securities in comparison to $12.4 million for the same period of 2002. Investment securities transactions are considered as part of the continuing management of the balance sheet to address interest rate and yield curve shifts. Total fee and service charge income in 2003 increased 30.1% from 2002. Mortgage banking revenue, a major component of this increase, totaled $19.1 million for 2003 compared to $14.5 million for 2002, an increase of $4.6 million, or 32.1%. Residential real estate loan originations reached record levels in 2003 with dollars of loans closed of $1.316 billion compared to $1.100 billion for 2002 and number of closed loans of 13,249 in 2003 compared to 11,537 in 2002. Trust and asset management, insurance brokerage and investment product revenues totaled $80.3 million during 2003 compared to $50.1 million during 2002. During 2003 and in the second half of 2002, Old National acquired various insurance agencies and an asset management consulting company, which provided Old National with additional sources of noninterest income. The acquisition of these companies increased noninterest trust and asset management fees by $5.0 million, insurance brokerage fees by $22.6 million and investment product revenue by $0.5 million over 2002 results. Deposit-related fees and service charges were $44.9 million in 2003 compared to $42.0 million for 2002, an increase of $2.9 million, or 6.8%. This increase came from growth in transaction accounts, collection initiatives and an increase in service charge rates. 17 Table 4 presents changes in the components of noninterest income for the years ended December 31.

N/M = Not meaningful Noninterest Expense Old National strives to improve its efficiency through cost control efforts and technology advancements while still providing quality customer service. In the banking industry, the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, is often used to measure expense levels. The efficiency ratio decreases when revenue is greater in relation to expenses and increases when revenue is lesser in relation to expenses. A decreasing efficiency ratio represents positive trends and improved efficiency. The efficiency ratio increased to 61.26% in 2003 from 54.97% in 2002, representing a negative trend. A company-wide program, "Ascend," has been initiated as discussed in Item 1, "Business," which is designed to be an intense evaluation of every aspect of operations for expense reductions and revenue growth ideas. As a result of this program, Old National expects to have significant improvements in efficiency by the end of the implementation phase in 2005. Noninterest expense for 2003 totaled $299.7 million, an increase of $41.9 million, or 16.2% over the $257.8 million recorded in 2002. Salaries and benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, totaled $169.0 million in 2003 compared to $148.5 million in 2002, an increase of $20.6 million, of which $18.1 million directly related to acquisitions. Outside processing expenses totaled $19.1 million for 2003 compared to $13.6 million recorded in 2002. This increase in 2003 primarily resulted from a full year of expense related to the mortgage third-party servicing subcontractor compared to one-half year in 2002. Other losses of $14.7 million in 2003 compared to $5.4 million in 2002, included a $10.0 million charge in 2003 to establish a reserve in connection with litigation, which was partially settled during the fourth quarter. For additional information, see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements. Overall, the remaining components of noninterest expense totaled $96.9 million for 2003 compared to $90.3 million for 2002, an increase of 7.3% or $6.6 million, with $6.1 million directly related to acquisitions. Old National will complete construction of its principal executive offices in 2004. It is expected that the net increase to occupancy, equipment and other noninterest expense components will have an annualized impact to net income per share of $0.02. However, the impact does not take into account that the lease of Old National's current headquarters would have increased substantially beginning in 2005, decreasing the impact below $0.02. Table 5 presents changes in the components of noninterest expense for the years ended December 31. 18 NONINTEREST EXPENSE (TABLE 5) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % Change From Prior Year ---------------- (dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 2003 2002 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salaries and employee benefits $169,025 $148,450 $138,210 13.9 % 7.4 % Occupancy 18,166 16,154 15,599 12.5 3.6 Equipment 14,296 15,153 16,206 (5.7) (6.5) Marketing 11,085 11,026 8,109 0.5 36.0 FDIC insurance premiums 1,007 1,132 1,222 (11.0) (7.4) Outside processing 19,078 13,640 10,757 39.9 26.8 Communications and transportation 11,595 11,738 10,907 (1.2) 7.6 Professional fees 9,111 8,959 7,415 1.7 20.8 Loan expense 7,041 6,496 6,416 8.4 1.2 Supplies 4,829 5,048 5,529 (4.3) (8.7) Other losses 14,676 5,445 6,177 169.5 (11.9) Goodwill amortization -- -- 5,909 -- (100.0) Other intangible amortization 2,612 1,174 865 122.5 35.7 Other expense 17,195 13,430 11,788 28.0 13.9 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salaries and other operating expenses 299,716 257,845 245,109 16.2 5.2 Merger and restructuring costs -- -- 9,703 N/M N/M - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total noninterest expense $299,716 $257,845 $254,812 16.2 % 1.2 % =========================================================================================== N/M = Not meaningful Provision for Income Taxes Old National records a provision for income taxes currently payable and for income taxes payable in the future, which arise due to timing differences in the recognition of certain items for financial statement and income tax purposes. The major difference between the effective tax rate applied to Old National's financial statement income and the federal statutory tax rate is caused by interest on tax-exempt securities and loans. Old National's effective tax rate was 11.4% in 2003 and 22.7% in 2002. The decreased tax rate in 2003 resulted from a higher percentage of tax-exempt income to total income. The reduction in 2003 total income is discussed in the earnings summary above. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details on Old National's income tax provision.

Investments and loans decreased $160.6 million and $106.9 million, respectively, and total liabilities declined $233.4 million compared to December 31, 2002. Total shareholders' equity decreased $25.2 million from year-end 2002. Earning Assets Old National's earning assets are comprised of loans and loans held for sale, investment securities and money market investments. Earning assets were $8.518 billion at December 31, 2003, a decrease of 3.9% from December 31, 2002. During the first half of 2003, investment securities increased as a temporary source of earning assets. During the second half of 2003, Old National reduced its investment portfolio due to fewer attractive investment opportunities and the company's need to reduce its sensitivity to rising interest rates. Despite the continued weakness in commercial lending and the specific sales of $62.7 million of nonaccrual commercial and residential real estate loans, total loans decreased only slightly as these factors were partially offset by consumer loan growth. Investment Securities Old National classifies investment securities primarily as available-for-sale to give management the flexibility to sell the securities prior to maturity if needed, based on fluctuating interest rates or changes in the company's funding requirements. However, Old National added 15- and 20-year fixed-rate mortgage pass-through securities to its held-to-maturity investment portfolio during 2003. At December 31, 2003, the investment securities portfolio was $2.917 billion compared to $3.078 billion at December 31, 2002, a decrease of 5.2%. Investment securities represented 34.2% of earning assets at December 31, 2003, compared to 34.7% at December 31, 2002. During 2002 and the first half of 2003, Old National increased the investment portfolio as a short-term alternative source of earning assets to offset declining residential real estate and minimal commercial and consumer loan growth. During the second half of 2003, Old National began decreasing the size of the investment portfolio and used the cash flows generated by the declining investment portfolio to reduce borrowed funds. Stronger economic activity and stronger commercial loan demand would likely result in increased investments in loans and the investment portfolio would stabilize or decrease. Continued weak commercial loan demand, however, may cause Old National to use cash flows to reinvest in securities. Investment securities available-for-sale portfolio had net unrealized gains of $23.7 million at December 31, 2003, compared to $86.2 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease was a result of higher market interest rates and a smaller portfolio of securities available-for-sale at December 31, 2003, compared to December 31, 2002. Also, Old National realized pre-tax gains on sales of securities from this portfolio of $23.6 million during 2003. The investment portfolio had an average life of 4.86 years at December 31, 2003, compared to 3.10 years at December 31, 2002. The average yields on available-for-sale investment securities, on a taxable equivalent basis, were 4.90% in 2003 and 5.43% in 2002. The average yield on the held-to-maturity portfolio was 4.29% in 2003. At December 31, 2003, Old National had a concentration of investment securities issued by certain states and their political subdivisions with the following aggregate market values: $149.0 million by Indiana, which represented 20.8% of shareholders' equity, and $119.4 million by Illinois, which represented 16.7% of shareholders' equity. At December 31, 2002, the aggregate market values of the concentration of certain states and their political subdivisions were $156.8 million by Indiana, which represents 21.2% of shareholders' equity, and $122.8 million by Illinois, which represents 16.6% of shareholders' equity. There were no other concentrations of investment securities issued by an individual state and its political subdivisions that were greater than 10% of shareholders' equity. Residential Loans Held for Sale Residential loans held for sale were $16.3 million at December 31, 2003, compared to $92.6 million at December 31, 2002. Residential loans held for sale are loans that are closed, but not yet sold on the secondary market. The amount of residential loans held for sale on the balance sheet varies depending on the timing of movement of originations and loan sales to the secondary market. At December 31, 2003, loan originations were down compared to December 31, 2002, primarily due to an upturn in interest rates at the end of 2003. 20 Lending and Loan Administration Old National's credit culture has historically featured decision-making near the customer with corporate oversight. In 2003, due to continued credit quality concerns, Old National implemented certain credit approval disciplines in order to continue to focus on the reduction of problem and non-performing loans in the portfolio, including a restructuring of the manner in which commercial loans are analyzed and approved. Community-based loan personnel, which now include independent underwriting and analytic support staff, continue to have the authority to extend credit under guidelines established and administered by Old National's Credit Policy Committee. This committee, which meets quarterly, includes members from both the holding company and the bank. The committee monitors credit quality through its review of information such as delinquencies, problem loans and charge-offs and regularly reviews the loan policy to assure it remains appropriate for the current lending environment. Old National lends primarily to small- and medium-sized commercial and commercial real estate customers in various industries including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling and retailing. As measured by Old National, the company had no concentration of loans in any single industry exceeding 10% of its portfolio and has no exposure to foreign borrowers or lesser-developed countries. Old National's policy is to concentrate its lending activity in the geographic market areas it serves, primarily Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee, with a focus on increasing its presence in the metropolitan markets, including Indianapolis, Louisville and St. Louis. 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 improve, commercial and consumer loans will begin to show higher levels of growth. In the past four years, commercial loans average growth rate was 4.9% per year while commercial real estate grew 9.1% per year. Residential real estate loans declined 18.7% per year while consumer loans rose 5.9% annually over the same period. Table 7 presents the composition of the loan portfolio at December 31.

At December 31, 2003, commercial and commercial real estate loans decreased $78.3 million and $34.0 million, respectively, from December 31, 2002. During 2003, Old National sold $48.2 million of non-performing commercial loans, which contributed to the change in commercial and commercial real estate loans. A write-down of $11.3 million was recorded against the allowance for loan losses related to these sales. Consumer loans, including automobile loans, personal and home equity loans and lines of credit, and student loans, increased $109.8 million or 10.4% at December 31, 2003, compared to December 31, 2002, primarily due to a renewed focus on consumer lending. Table 8 presents the maturity distribution and rate sensitivity of commercial loans and an analysis of these loans that have predetermined and floating interest rates. A significant percentage of commercial loans are due within one year, reflecting the short-term nature of a large portion of these loans. 21 DISTRIBUTION OF COMMERCIAL LOAN MATURITIES AT DECEMBER 31, 2003 (TABLE 8) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Within 1 - 5 Beyond (dollars in thousands) 1 Year Years 5 Years Total -------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest rates: Predetermined $216,322 $383,597 $210,477 $ 810,396 Floating 531,657 224,078 51,964 807,699 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $747,979 $607,675 $262,441 $1,618,095 ==================================================================== Residential Real Estate Loans Residential real estate loans, primarily 1-4 family properties, have decreased in significance to the loan portfolio over the past five years due to higher levels of loan sales on the secondary market, primarily to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or Federal National Mortgage Association. Old National sells the majority of residential real estate loans originated as a strategy to better manage interest rate risk and liquidity. These loans are sold with loan servicing retained in order 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 sells the majority of the residential real estate loans without recourse, currently having less than 1% of loans sold with recourse. During 2003, residential real estate loans continued to liquidate at extraordinary levels in the low interest rate environment and the related boom in refinancing. As of December 31, 2003, residential real estate loans were $939.4 million, a decrease of $104.4 million or 10.0% from December 31, 2002. Old National's residential real estate loan portfolio was also affected by the sales of delinquent loans in 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 real estate loans of $14.5 million were sold to independent investors resulting in write-downs of $3.4 million recorded against the allowance for loan losses. During 2003, Old National developed additional mortgage products that fit within the company's interest rate risk profile that will be retained by the bank. As a result of this strategy, Old National would expect to see a stabilization of residential real estate loans on the consolidated balance sheet. Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality Administration 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 provisions for loan losses based on current and projected loans outstanding, grade changes, mix of loans and expected losses. A detailed loan loss evaluation on an individual loan basis for the company's highest risk loans is performed quarterly. Management 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. Old National has a formalized and disciplined independent loan review program. Its loan review system evaluates loan administration, credit quality and compliance with corporate loan standards. This program includes periodic reviews conducted at the community bank locations as well as regular reviews of problem loan reports, delinquencies and charge-offs. Each month, problem loan reports are prepared and reviewed, which include borrowers that show indications of being unable to meet debt obligations in the normal course of business, and loans which have other characteristics deemed by bank management to warrant special attention or have been criticized by regulators in the examination process. Classified loans include non-performing loans, past due 90 days and other problem loans while criticized loans, also known as special mention loans, are loans that have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention and require specific quarterly reviews by the bank. Assets determined by the various evaluation processes to be under-performing receive special attention by Old National management. Under-performing assets consist of: 1) nonaccrual loans where the ultimate collectibility of interest or principal is uncertain; 2) loans renegotiated in some manner, primarily to provide for a reduction or deferral of interest or principal payments because the borrower's financial condition deteriorated; 3) loans with principal or interest past due ninety (90) days or more; and 4) foreclosed properties. A loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest become 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 22 interest. When loans are classified as nonaccrual, interest accrued during the 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. 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 methodology that it uses in determining an appropriate reserve for future losses is reasonable. Loan officers grade the larger commercial and commercial real estate loans in the portfolio periodically as determined by loan policy requirements or determined by specific guidelines based on loan characteristics as set by management and banking regulation. Periodically, these loan grades are reviewed independently by the loan review department. For impaired loans, an assessment is conducted as to whether there is 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 used to develop reserve requirement ranges based on expected future losses. 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 strictly follow SFAS No. 114. Previous to this change, Old National's interpretation of impaired loans more conservatively included all problem credits with a potential collateral deficiency in the event of default and nonaccrual loans in larger groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans. Had Old National made this in the prior year, impaired loans would have totaled $80.4 million rather than $303.2 million as reported at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2003, the total impaired loans were $91.6 million of which $60.6 million had an allocated reserve of $20.6 million and $31.0 million had no specific reserve recorded. Historic loss ratios adjusted for future expectations of economic conditions are used in determining the appropriate level of reserves for consumer and residential real estate loans. The methodology used by Old National to predict losses on loans that are not impaired uses a system of allocating losses back to the original time the respective loans were booked and then moving those losses through the different loan grades as the loans migrate to higher risk classifications. Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality At December 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses was $104.6 million, an increase of $16.8 million compared to $87.7 million at December 31, 2002. As a percentage of total loans held for investment, the allowance increased to 1.88% at December 31, 2003, from 1.55% at December 31, 2002. During 2003, the provision for loan losses amounted to $85.0 million, an increase of $51.5 million over 2002. Various factors led to Old National's higher provision in 2003. First, the amount necessary to cover the higher than normal losses in 2003 was significant. Second, loan collateral values in the markets served by Old National deteriorated which led to the need for higher reserves in the event of liquidation. Third, recent experience elevated the rate of expected future losses. The increase in the allowance for loan losses for commercial and commercial real estate loans accounted for virtually all of the increase in the total reserve from December 31, 2002, to December 31, 2003. For commercial and commercial real estate loans, the reserve as a percentage of that portfolio increased to 2.64% at December 31, 2003, from 2.22% at December 31, 2002. While the absolute level of classified and criticized loans at December 31, 2003, decreased 21.5% from December 31, 2002, bank management believed this level was appropriate given continued economic weakness and stresses in the Midwestern region on commercial borrowers. As a result, the reserve for commercial and commercial real estate loans increased by $12.3 million. The reserve for residential real estate loans as a percentage of that portfolio increased to 0.5% at December 31, 2003, from 0.1% at December 31, 2002. This increase reflected an increase in historical loss rates due to higher residential real estate loan charge-offs during 2003, including the losses resulting from the sales of non-performing 23 residential real estate loans. 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 December 31, 2003 at 0.7% of the portfolio. This was reflective of little or no change in the performance and loss experience on the consumer loan portfolio. Table 9 details the allowance for loan losses by loan category and the percent of loans in each category compared to total loans at December 31.

Additionally in 2003, write-downs of $14.7 million from loans transferred to held for sale related to loan sales were recognized. The 2003 charge-offs included significant items including one loan relationship write-down of $10.3 million and a $6.5 million single commercial credit charge-off resulting from fraud in the customer's operation. Although net charge-offs have been concentrated primarily in commercial loans reflecting slowdown of the economy, no single industry segment represented a significant share of total net charge-offs. The allowance to average loans, which ranged from 1.18% to 1.85% for the last five years, was 1.85% at December 31, 2003. Table 10 summarizes activity in the allowance for loan losses for the years ended December 31, along with related statistics for the allowance and net charge-offs.

As a percent of total loans and foreclosed properties, under-performing assets at December 31 were 2.12% for 2003 and 2.04% for 2002. In 2003, the nonaccrual category of under-performing loans was $104.6 million, an increase of $4.3 million since December 31, 2002. This increase and the lower net loan balance at December 31, 2003, were significant contributors to the higher ratio of under-performing assets to total loans and foreclosed properties. In a review of industry standards during 2003 and in discussions with regulators, the company strengthened its internal policies in regards to nonaccrual loans. Also, in order to reduce the negative impact on earnings from high levels of nonaccrual loans, Old National sold $62.7 million of non-performing loans. At December 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses to under-performing assets ratio stood at 88.24% compared to 74.54% at December 31, 2002. Management believes that it has appropriately identified and reserved for loan losses related to nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2003. 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 collection of principal or interest. Approximately $42.4 million of nonaccrual loans less than thirty days delinquent were still contractually performing at December 31, 2003. Management will continue its efforts to reduce the level of non-performing loans and may 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. Management expects that 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 negatively impacted by the weakness in the manufacturing segment of the economy. The longer the significant softness in manufacturing continues, the more stress it puts on Old National's borrowers, increasing the potential for additional nonaccrual loans. Interest income of approximately $16.7 million in 2003 and $14.2 million in 2002 would have been recorded on nonaccrual and renegotiated loans if such loans had been accruing interest throughout the year in accordance with their original terms. The amount of interest income actually recorded on nonaccrual and restructured loans was $8.2 million in 2003 and $3.8 million in 2002. Old National had no renegotiated loans at December 31, 2003 and 2002, however, in 2001, Old National had renegotiated loans of $25.9 million from two borrowers whose loan payment schedules were modified to reduce their cash flow requirements while obtaining additional collateral and/or guarantees and shortening the loan term. Classified loans were $343.9 million at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $111.8 million from $455.7 million at December 31, 2002. Of this total, other problem loans, which are loans reviewed for the borrowers' ability to comply with present repayment terms, totaled $234.2 million at December 31, 2003, compared to $345.9 million at December 31, 2002. Criticized loans, or special mention loans, were $215.7 million at December 31, 2003, a decrease of $41.4 million from $257.1 million at December 31, 2002. Management believes it has taken a prudent approach to the evaluation of under-performing credits and the loan portfolio in general, both in acknowledging the portfolio's general condition and in establishing the allowance for loan losses. 25 Table 11 presents the components of under-performing assets for the years ended December 31.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles The non-bank services segment acquired various financial services companies in 2003, which increased goodwill to $129.3 million at December 31, 2003 from $110.6 million at December 31, 2002. Also as a result of these acquisitions, other intangible assets, primarily related to customer business relationships, increased to $41.9 million at December 31, 2003, from $27.0 million at December 31, 2002. Old National performs impairment testing of goodwill and other intangibles on an annual basis. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, there was no impairment. Funding Total average funding, comprised of deposits and wholesale borrowings, was $8.689 billion at December 31, 2003, an increase of 2.5% from $8.476 billion at December 31, 2002. Average deposits decreased 1.4% in 2003 compared to an increase of 0.2% in 2002. Old National experienced growth in demand deposits and other low cost transaction accounts due to the lower rate environment and customer preference for transaction accounts. Old National uses wholesale funding to augment deposit funding and to help maintain its desired interest rate risk position. Average wholesale borrowings, including short-term borrowings and other borrowings, increased 15.5% in 2003 compared to 19.9% in 2002. Increases during the first half of 2003 financed investment portfolio growth, offset a reduction in certificates of deposits and was designed to take advantages of favorable interest rates. During the second half of 2003, wholesale borrowings decreased as investment portfolio growth slowed. See Notes 9 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details on Old National's financing activities. Table 12 presents changes in the average balances of all funding sources for the years ended December 31. 26 FUNDING SOURCES - AVERAGE BALANCES (TABLE 12) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % Change From Prior Year (dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 2003 2002 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Demand deposits $ 752,788 $ 712,308 $ 664,347 5.7 % 7.2 % NOW deposits 1,504,662 1,215,858 930,120 23.8 30.7 Savings deposits 479,328 462,633 409,220 3.6 13.1 Money market deposits 612,044 644,037 778,366 (5.0) (17.3) Time deposits 3,061,922 3,468,623 3,706,416 (11.7) (6.4) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deposits 6,410,744 6,503,459 6,488,469 (1.4) 0.2 Short-term borrowings 687,588 688,958 583,035 (0.2) 18.2 Other borrowings 1,590,262 1,283,225 1,062,377 23.9 20.8 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total funding sources $8,688,594 $8,475,642 $8,133,881 2.5 % 4.2 % =============================================================================== Table 13 presents a maturity distribution for certificates of deposit with denominations of $100,000 or more at December 31.

The reduction in shareholders' equity during 2003 was primarily attributed to the change in the unrealized gains on investment securities, reflecting the change in the interest rate environment during 2003 and the fact that securities with gains of $23.6 million were sold during the year, with the gains recognized in income. Old National paid cash dividends of $0.72 per share in 2003 (restated for the 5% stock dividend distributed on January 27, 2004), which decreased equity by $48.4 million. Also in 2003, Old National purchased shares of its stock in the open market under an ongoing repurchase program, reducing shareholders' equity by $37.8 million. Shares reissued for stock options and stock purchase plans, and stock issued for purchase merger transactions increased shareholders' equity by $6.7 million and $21.1 million, respectively, in 2003. Old National and the banking industry are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. For additional information on capital adequacy see Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Table 14 presents Old National's significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations and significant commitments at December 31, 2003. Further discussion of each obligation or commitment is included in the referenced note to the consolidated financial statements. 27 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS, COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS (TABLE 14) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Payments Due In ---------------------------------------------------- Note One Year One to Three to Over (dollars in thousands) Reference or Less Three Years Five Years Five Years Total - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deposits without stated maturity $3,484,895 $ -- $ -- $ -- $3,484,895 Consumer and brokered certificates of deposit 1,399,163 1,001,453 128,953 478,628 3,008,197 Short-term borrowings 9 414,588 -- -- -- 414,588 Other borrowings 10 256,700 447,461 454,470 465,461 1,624,092 Operating leases 17 8,740 12,567 6,864 12,085 40,256 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Commitments to extend credit 17 1,577,124 -- -- -- 1,577,124 Commercial letters of credit 17 19,297 -- -- -- 19,297 Standby letters of credit 17 85,381 -- -- -- 85,381 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Old National is party to various derivative contracts as a means to manage the balance sheet, as a means to manage exposure to changes in interest rates in its residential real estate loan origination and sale activity, and to provide derivative contracts with its customers. Since the derivative liabilities recorded on the balance sheet change frequently and do not represent the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, these liabilities are not included in the table of contractual obligations presented above. Further discussion of derivative instruments is included in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements. Old National has entered into a $52 million contract for the construction of its Evansville, Indiana, bank headquarters and banking center. The contract is expected to be complete in 2004. 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. Further discussion of contingent liabilities is included in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements. COMPARISON OF 2002 WITH 2001 Net income in 2002 was $117.9 million and diluted net income per share was $1.75 compared to $93.0 million and $1.36, respectively, in 2001. The increases in net income and net income per share were primarily due to increases in noninterest income resulting from securities gains of $12.4 million and a $12.5 million pre-tax gain on branch divestitures in 2002. These gains along with strong growth in mortgage banking revenue more than offset increases in the provision for loan losses related to deteriorating economic conditions in the company's geographic markets. In addition, 2001 net income included merger and restructuring costs as a result of the completion of the One Bank consolidation project resulting in additional pre-tax expense of $9.7 million. Return on average assets was 1.27% and return on shareholders' equity was 17.05% in 2002 compared with 1.05% and 14.45%, respectively, in 2001. Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $314.6 million and net interest margin was 3.65% in 2002 compared to $312.6 million and 3.77%, respectively, in 2001. The decrease in net interest margin was due primarily to declining interest rates during 2002, and a change in the asset and funding mix. Net interest income includes taxable equivalent adjustments of $25.2 million for 2002 and $21.3 million for 2001. The increase in the provision for loan losses to $33.5 million in 2002 from $28.7 million in 2001 resulted from a slowdown in the pace of the current economic recovery in the geographic areas served by Old National and significant increases in the level of non-performing loans. Noninterest income was $154.5 million in 2002, compared to $113.0 million in 2001. The 2002 results included a gain on branch divestitures of $12.5 million and realized net securities gains of $12.4 million. A major contributor to the remaining amount of increase was mortgage banking revenue. With the decrease in interest rates during 2002, 28 loan origination volumes reached $1.100 billion compared to $929.2 million in 2001, increasing mortgage banking revenue to $14.5 million from $9.7 million in 2001, or 48.9%. In addition, trust and asset management fees, insurance premiums and commissions, and investment product fees increased 22.7% in 2002. These increases were a result of acquisitions of an asset management consulting firm, which contributed an additional $5.0 million of fee income for 2002 and an insurance agency, which added $1.6 million fee income for 2002. Investment and brokerage business fees increased 31.7% in 2002, primarily from strong annuity sales. Old National's efficiency ratio was 54.97% in 2002 compared to 59.87% in 2001. Increases in total revenue, primarily from noninterest income, exceeded increases in noninterest expense resulting in an improved efficiency ratio. Noninterest expense was $257.8 million in 2002, an increase of 1.2% over the $254.8 million recorded in 2001. The primary reason for the increase in expense was acquisitions in the non-bank services segment during the second half of 2002, resulting in an additional $5.7 million of noninterest expense. Salaries and benefits, which comprised approximately 58% of total noninterest expense, grew $10.2 million or 7.4%, including $4.0 million from acquisitions. Marketing expense increased 36.0% related to a new marketing campaign used to better describe the broadening scope of financial services and markets being served by Old National. Outside processing expense increased 26.8% reflecting costs associated with subcontracting the servicing functions of Old National's mortgage banking activities to an outside company. Goodwill amortization ceased in January 2002 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles contributing a decrease of $5.9 million from 2001. In addition, noninterest expense decreased $9.7 million from 2001 related to merger and restructuring charges incurred when Old National further streamlined its regional banking administrative structure and incurred expenses in the consolidation of acquisitions made in 2000. Provision for income taxes was $34.6 million in 2002 compared to $27.7 million in 2001. Old National's effective tax rate was 22.7% in 2002 compared to 22.9% in 2001. In regard to segment reporting, the community banking segment profit was $93.3 million in 2002 compared to $78.7 million in 2001, as revenues grew with very little growth in expenses. The non-bank services segment profit was $2.4 million in 2002 compared to $2.2 million in 2001 with acquisitions in the second half of 2002 accounting for the majority of the changes in noninterest income and noninterest expenses. The treasury segment profit showed a decrease from $18.1 million in 2001 to $14.0 million in 2002, with increased income from investment portfolio growth and decreased borrowing costs from a declining interest rate environment more than offseting the decline in profits generated from the corporate balance sheet position and associated interest rate risk profile. The remaining profit includes $8.3 million after-tax gain related to the sales of branches in 2002 and after-tax loss of $5.9 million related to the restructuring of the regional banking administrative structure in 2001. Management chose not to allocate these charges to the various segments. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT Inherent in Old National's balance sheet is market risk, 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. 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 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 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. 29 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. These models 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 under possible interest rate scenarios. 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 for actual 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'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 December 31, 2003, Old National projects that in a -200 basis point shock to interest rates, net interest income would be down 2.19% cumulative over the next two years. In a +200 basis point shock to interest rates, Old National projects net interest income would be down 5.59% cumulative over the next two years. The current guidelines for the allowable fluctuation in Market Value of Equity are +/- 12% in a 200 basis point shock to the yield curve. As of December 31, 2003, Old National projects Market Value of Equity to decrease by 7.39% in a -200 basis point shock to interest rates and to decrease by 8.07% in a +200 basis point shock. At December 31, 2003, Old National was 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 second half of 2003 and its impact on the duration of the company's investment portfolio and the growth of money market and interest bearing checking accounts during the year contributed to the change in the company's interest rate risk profile from December 2002. Old National continues to lengthen the repricing of its deposits and wholesale funding, and shorten the repricing of its asset portfolios to bring the interest rate risk position back within the policy guideline. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated 24-Month Estimated Change Cumulative Impact On in Market Net Interest Income at Risk Value of Equity Interest Rate Change (basis points) Policy Actual Policy Actual - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 +200 +/- 5.00 % -5.59 % +/- 12.00 % -8.07 % -200 +/- 5.00 -2.19 +/- 12.00 -7.39 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 +200 +/- 5.00 % 2.12 % +/- 12.00 % -1.32 % -200 +/- 5.00 -6.64 +/- 12.00 -14.16 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At December 31, 2003, Old National's most likely interest rate scenario was 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 was 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 was down 1.57% in this scenario. 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. Old National uses derivatives to manage interest rate risk in the ordinary course of business. See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of derivative financial instruments. These transactions serve to better balance the repricing of assets and liabilities in various rate change scenarios and protect the company from changes in interest rates. 30 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 to ensure sufficient available funding to satisfy requirements for balance sheet growth, properly manage capital markets' funding sources and to address unexpected liquidity requirements. 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 senior debt ratings of Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank at December 31, 2003, are shown in the following table. SENIOR DEBT RATINGS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard and Poor's Moody's Investor Services Fitch, Inc. --------------------- ------------------------- ---------------------- Long-term Short-term Long-term Short-term Long-term Short-term - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Old National Bancorp BBB N/A Baa1 N/A BBB F2 Old National Bank BBB+ A2 A3 P-2 BBB F2 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- N/A = not applicable Standard & Poor's Rating Services lowered its long-term ratings on Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank from BBB+ to BBB and A- to BBB+, respectively, during 2003. The outlook was revised to stable. Moody's Investor Services affirmed its stable outlook on Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank's long-term ratings at Baa1 and A3, respectively, during 2003. Fitch, Inc. affirmed its ratings and changed its outlook on Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank from "stable" to "negative" during 2003. Subsequent to year-end, on January 30, 2004, Fitch, Inc. lowered its ratings on Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank to BBB, however, changed its outlook on Old National from "negative" to "stable." As of December 31, 2003, Old National Bank had the capacity to borrow $766 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. Old National also maintains relationships in capital markets with brokers and dealers to issue certificates of deposits and short-term and medium-term bank notes. In addition, at December 31, 2003, Old National had $660 million available for issuance under a $1 billion global bank note program for senior and subordinated debt. 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 December 31, 2003, the parent company's other borrowings outstanding was $270.5 million, compared with $58.3 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in other borrowings in 2003 was driven by the issuance of $100 million of fixed-rate medium-term notes and the reclassification of $160.2 million related to guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in subordinated debentures, which was partially offset by medium-term note maturities of $45 million. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the reclassification. 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 19 to the consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2003, Old National had an SEC shelf registration in place for the issuance of $200 million preferred securities by a series of Trusts. Old National has issued $150 million of these securities, called trust preferred securities, and has the capacity to issue an additional $50 million. 31 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REPORT OF MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this annual report on Form 10-K. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include some amounts which are estimates based upon currently available information and management's judgement of current conditions and circumstances. Financial information throughout this annual report on Form 10-K is consistent with that in the financial statements. SYSTEM OF INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS Management maintains a system of internal accounting controls which is believed to provide, in all material respects, reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, transactions are properly authorized and recorded, and the financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. In addition, Old National has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a Senior Financial and Executive Officer Code of Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines that outline high levels of ethical business standards. All systems of internal accounting controls are based on management's judgement that the cost of controls should not exceed the benefits to be achieved and that no system can provide absolute assurance that control objectives are achieved. Management believes Old National's system provides the appropriate balance between costs of controls and the related benefits. In order to monitor compliance with this system of controls, Old National maintains an extensive internal audit program. Internal audit reports are issued to appropriate officers and significant audit exceptions, if any, are reviewed with management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD The Board of Directors, through an Audit Committee comprised solely of outside directors, oversees management's discharge of its financial reporting responsibilities. The Audit Committee meets regularly with Old National's independent public accountants, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and the managers of internal auditing and loan review. During these meetings, the committee has the opportunity to meet privately with the independent public accountants as well as with internal audit and loan review personnel to review accounting, auditing, loan, and financial reporting matters. The appointment of the independent public accountants is made by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS The financial statements in this annual report on Form 10-K have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, for the purpose of determining that the financial statements are presented fairly in all material respects. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's report on the financial statements follows. Their audit included a consideration of Old National's system of internal accounting controls for the purpose of setting the scope and timing of their auditing procedures. 32 [LETTERHEAD OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP] Report of Independent Auditors To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Old National Bancorp: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of changes in shareholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Old National Bancorp and affiliates (the "Company") at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Old National Bancorp and its wholly-owned affiliates ("Old National") and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Such principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. A summary of the more significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the statements is presented below. NATURE OF OPERATIONS Old National, a financial holding company headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, operates in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Missouri. Through its bank and non-bank affiliates, Old National provides to its customers an array of financial services including loan, deposit, trust and asset management, investment and insurance products. INVESTMENT SECURITIES Old National classifies 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 shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses affect income and the prior fair value adjustments are reclassified within shareholders' equity. Securities classified as held-to-maturity, which management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, are reported at amortized cost. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. RESIDENTIAL 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("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. LOANS Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Interest income is accrued on the principal balances of loans outstanding, except on discounted loans, which are recognized using other methods that generally approximate the interest method. 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 collection of principal or interest. Interest accrued during the current year on such loans is reversed against earnings. Interest accrued in the prior year, if any, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for six months and future payments are reasonably assured. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio, and historical loss experience. The allowance is increased through a provision charged to operating expense. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added to the allowance. 38 A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that contractual interest and principal payments will not be collected either for the amounts or by the dates as scheduled in the loan agreement. Old National's policy for recognizing income on impaired loans is to accrue interest unless a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to operating expense over the useful lives of the assets, principally on the straight-line method. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Interest costs on construction of qualifying assets are capitalized. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The excess of the cost of acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Amortization on goodwill and indefinite-lived assets are no longer recorded as a result of Old National's adoption of SFAS No. 142 as described further in this footnote. However, the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets are annually tested for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized, on an accelerated cash flow basis over the period benefited, ranging from 4 to 40 years. 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 mortgage servicing rights retained based on the relative fair values of each. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing income derived from related cash flows. Amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is determined in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Impairment of mortgage servicing rights exists if the book value of the mortgage servicing rights exceed its estimated fair value. In determining impairment, mortgage servicing rights are stratified by interest rates. Critical assumptions used in determining fair value 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 expected mortgage loan prepayments reduce estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying loan is reduced. Fair values, using estimated mortgage loan prepayment rates, are derived from a third-party statistical model. Negative adjustments to the 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. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Old National designates its derivatives based upon criteria established by SFAS No. 133, 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 uses interest rate contracts such as interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. These contracts are designated as hedges 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 hedge 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 is 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. Old National assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction. CREDIT-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In the ordinary course of business, Old National's affiliate bank has entered into credit-related financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. These commitments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements until they are funded. 39 FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE Other assets include real estate properties acquired as a result of foreclosure and are valued at the lower of the recorded investment in the related loan or fair value of the property less estimated cost to sell. The recorded investment is the sum of the outstanding principal loan balance, any accrued interest which has not been received and acquisition cost associated with the loan. Any excess recorded investment over the fair value of the property received is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Any subsequent write-downs are charged to expense, as are the costs of operating the properties. Such costs are not material to Old National's results of operation. NET INCOME PER SHARE Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each year, adjusted to reflect all stock dividends. Diluted net income per share is computed as above and assumes the conversion of outstanding stock options. The following table reconciles basic and diluted net income per share for the years ended December 31: NET INCOME PER SHARE RECONCILIATION - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2003 2002 2001 --------------------------- ---------------------------- --------------------------- (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data) Income Shares Amount Income Shares Amount Income Shares Amount - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Basic Net Income Per Share Income from operations $70,413 66,779 $1.05 $117,932 67,177 $1.75 $93,044 68,506 $1.36 ======== ======== ========= Effect Of Dilutive Securities Stock options - 53 - 131 - 102 - ------------------------------------------------- -------------------- ------------------ Diluted Net Income Per Share Income from operations and assumed conversions $70,413 66,832 $1.05 $117,932 67,308 $1.75 $93,044 68,608 $1.36 ================================================================================================================== INCOME TAXES Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Recognition of deferred tax assets is based on management's belief that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit associated with certain temporary differences, tax operating loss carryforwards and tax credits will be realized. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS DATA For the purpose of presentation in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash, due from banks and money market investments, which have maturities less than 90 days. Cash paid during 2003, 2002 and 2001 for interest was $201.8 million (net of capitalized interest of $1.2 million), $261.2 million, (net of capitalized interest of $0.3 million) and $353.0 million, respectively. Cash paid for income tax during 2003, 2002 and 2001 were $26.0 million, $33.0 million and $34.7 million, respectively. Other noncash transactions include stock issued in acquisitions of subsidiaries of $21.1 million in 2003 and $15.4 million in 2002 and loans transferred to loans held for sale of $62.7 million in 2003. IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGES In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") revised SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." This statement requires disclosures in addition to those in the original SFAS No. 132, which provides additional information regarding assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans. The revised SFAS No. 132 is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. Old National adopted this statement as of December 31, 2003, and has included all such required disclosures in Note 12. In December 2003, the FASB revised FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which was initially released in January 2003. 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 is effective for companies with 40 "special-purpose entities" as of December 31, 2003. Old National does not have special-purpose entities. However, under this new guidance, Old National was required to deconsolidate ONB Capital Trust I and ONB Capital Trust II as these trusts no longer meet the definition of a related subsidiary under the terms of FIN 46. This change also resulted in the remaining debt being disclosed in "other borrowings" for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to the separate disclosure on the balance sheet at December 31, 2002. The effect of this deconsolidation was an increase of $4.6 million to both assets and liabilities with no impact to the results of operations. The effective date for consolidation of all other entities is after March 15, 2004, at which time Old National will be required to consolidate various low income housing partnerships. Old National does not expect the consolidation of low income housing partnerships to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 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 December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which provides guidance on how to 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. 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 would have been adjusted to a proforma amount as indicated for the years ended December 31. All per share data has been adjusted for stock dividends, including a 5% stock dividend distributed to shareholders on January 27, 2004. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (dollars in thousands, except per share data) 2003 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net income as reported $70,413 $117,932 $93,044 Deduct total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (6,002) (2,992) (3,090) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proforma net income $64,411 $114,940 $89,954 ==================================================================================== Basic net income per share: As reported $1.05 $1.75 $1.36 Proforma 0.96 1.71 1.31 Diluted net income per share: As reported $1.05 $1.75 $1.36 Proforma 0.96 1.71 1.31 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In November 2002, 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. Certain guarantee contracts that are excluded from both the disclosure and recognition requirements of FIN 45, including, among others, residual value guarantees under capital lease arrangements, commercial letters of credit and loan commitments. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 were effective as of December 31, 2002. The recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The impact of FIN 45 at December 31, 2003, resulted in additional liabilities of $0.3 million and reduced noninterest income by the same amount. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." The Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations." 41 It requires all business combinations within the scope of the Statement to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. It establishes criteria for the initial recognition of intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The provisions of the Statement apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," addressing financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." Under this Statement, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be subject to amortization. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Old National adopted SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. As of the date of adoption, Old National had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $82.8 million and unamortized identifiable intangible assets in the amount of $4.4 million, all of which were subject to the transition provisions of SFAS No. 141 and 142. As part of the adoption, Old National performed a transitional impairment test on its goodwill assets, which indicated no impairment charge was required. As of the date of transition, Old National had no indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded on its consolidated balance sheet. In addition, no material reclassifications or adjustments to the useful lives of definite-lived intangible assets were made as a result of adopting the new guidance. The following table is a reconciliation of net income and net income per share had goodwill amortization been excluded for the year ended December 31, 2001. All per share data has been adjusted for stock dividends, including a 5% stock dividend distributed to shareholders on January 27, 2004. Refer to Note 7 for additional information regarding goodwill and intangible assets.

Such reclassifications had no effect on net income. NOTE 2 - ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY COMPLETED MERGERS Old National acquired several companies in the non-bank services segment during 2003 and 2002. All acquisitions were accounted for as purchases in accordance with SFAS No. 141. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchase Price ------------------------------------------ (dollars in thousands) Shares Stock Cash Other Entity Acquired Date Issued Value Paid Total Goodwill Intangibles - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Insurance and Risk Management 8/1/03 590,411 $13,739 $16,206 $29,945 $14,213 $12,376 Graham and Peat Insurance Agency 6/1/03 131,992 3,029 72 3,101 2,058 1,797 James L.

Of the $47.0 million of goodwill recorded from these transactions $26.9 million is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Unaudited financial statements of aggregate companies acquired during 2003 showed assets of $12.2 million on the acquisition dates and revenues from the beginning of the year to acquisition dates of $10.9 million with net income of $1.5 million. Unaudited financial statements of aggregate companies acquired during 2002 showed assets of $12.5 million on the acquisition dates and revenues from the beginning of the year to acquisition dates of $19.8 million with net income of $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 when paid. DIVESTITURES During 2003, Old National sold its Fort Wayne, Indiana, trust operations resulting in a pre-tax gain totaling $0.3 million. Old National finalized the sales of branches in the normal course of business resulting in a pre-tax gain totaling $12.5 million during 2002.

NOTE 4 - LOANS HELD FOR SALE At December 31, 2003 and 2002, Old National had residential loans held for sale of $16.3 million and $92.6 million, respectively. During 2003, residential real estate loans of $14.5 million and commercial loans of $48.2 million were transferred to loans held for sale. As a result of these transfers, write-downs of $3.4 million and $11.3 million, respectively, were recorded against the allowance for loan losses. These loans, which were classified as nonaccrual, were sold for $11.1 million and $36.9 million, respectively, net of expenses incurred with the sale. NOTE 5 - LOANS The composition of loans at December 31 by lending classification was as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial $1,618,095 $1,696,347 Commercial real estate 1,849,275 1,883,303 Residential real estate 939,422 1,043,816 Consumer credit, net of unearned 1,163,325 1,053,571 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Total loans $5,570,117 $5,677,037 ================================================================ 44 Through its affiliates, Old National makes loans to customers in various industries including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling and retailing. Old National predominately operates in the geographic market areas of Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee. Old National has no concentration of loans in any single industry exceeding 10% of its portfolio. Executive officers and directors of Old National and significant subsidiaries and their related interests are loan customers of Old National's affiliate bank in the normal course of business. These loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties and involve no unusual risk of collectibility. An analysis of the current year activity of these loans is as follows: -------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) 2003 -------------------------------------------------- Balance, January 1 $ 67,209 New loans 102,070 Repayments (143,053) Officer and director changes (5,127) -------------------------------------------------- Balance, December 31 $ 21,099 ================================================== NOTE 6 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Activity in the allowance for loan losses was as follows: - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, January 1 $ 87,742 $74,241 $73,833 Additions: Provision charged to expense 85,000 33,500 28,700 Deductions: Write-downs on loans transferred to held for sale 14,744 - - Loans charged-off 61,654 27,576 36,152 Recoveries (8,227) (7,577) (7,860) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net charge-offs and other charges 68,171 19,999 28,292 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, December 31 $104,571 $87,742 $74,241 ========================================================================================= The following is a summary of loans deemed by management to be impaired in accordance with accounting requirements as of December 31: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Impaired loans without a valuation allowance $31,027 $47,772 Impaired loans with a valuation allowance 60,562 255,407 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total impaired loans $91,589 $303,179 ============================================================================ Valuation allowance related to impaired loans $20,588 $66,932 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the year ended December 31, 2003, the average balance of impaired loans was $182.6 million for which no interest was recorded. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the average balance of impaired loans was $261.8 million for which $14.0 million of interest was recorded. During 2003, Old National revised its interpretation of impaired loans to strictly follow SFAS No. 114. Previous to this change, Old National's interpretation of impaired loans more conservatively included all problem credits with a potential collateral deficiency in the event of default and nonaccrual loans in larger groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans. Had Old National made this interpretation in the prior year, impaired loans would have totaled $80.4 million with a valuation allowance of $22.5 million rather than $303.2 million with a valuation allowance of $66.9 million as reported at December 31, 2002. No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans. Loans deemed impaired are evaluated using the fair value of the underlying collateral. 45 NOTE 7 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS At December 31, 2003 and 2002, Old National had goodwill in the amount of $129.3 million and $110.6 million, respectively. Old National performed its annual impairment testing resulting in no impairment for 2003 and 2002. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the year ended December 31, 2003, was as follows: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Community Non-bank (dollars in thousands) Banking Services Total - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, January 1 $70,944 $39,704 $110,648 Goodwill acquired during the year - 18,905 18,905 Adjustments to goodwill acquired in prior year - (74) (74) Goodwill related to divestitures - (228) (228) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance, December 31 $70,944 $58,307 $129,251 ============================================================================================== Old National continues to amortize definite-lived intangible assets over the estimated remaining life of each respective asset.

The 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. Proceeds from the issuance of these securities were used to purchase junior subordinated debentures with the same financial terms as the securities issued by ONB Capital Trust II. Old National guarantees the payment of distributions on the preferred securities issued by ONB Capital Trust II. ONB Capital Trust I issued $50 million in preferred securities in March 2000. The 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.

NOTE 12 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS RETIREMENT PLAN Old National has a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan. During 2001, Old National amended this plan freezing the benefits accrued for all participants except active participants who had completed at least 20 years of service or who had attained age 50 with at least five years of vesting service. This curtailment resulted in $7.6 million reduction in the benefit obligation as of year-end 2001 and a $0.2 million reduction in pension expense in 2001. In addition, the amendment discontinued new enrollments under the plan after December 31, 2001. Retirement benefits are based on years of service and compensation during the highest paid five years of employment. Old National's policy is to contribute at least the minimum funding requirement determined by the plan's actuary. Old National uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension plans. 51 The following table sets forth the plan's benefit obligation and funded status at December 31: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change in Benefit Obligation Balance at January 1 $ 54,267 $ 51,912 $ 43,833 Service cost 1,866 1,816 3,600 Interest cost 3,846 3,720 3,344 Benefits paid (4,605) (6,422) (6,426) Actuarial loss 8,145 3,241 15,178 Curtailment adjustment - - (7,617) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31 63,519 54,267 51,912 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change in Plan Assets Fair value at January 1 27,409 32,253 39,947 Actual return on plan assets 3,405 (2,549) (1,170) Employer contributions 18,726 4,127 217 Benefits paid (4,605) (6,422) (6,426) Administrative expenses - - (315) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value at December 31 44,935 27,409 32,253 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Funded status (18,584) (26,858) (19,659) Unrecognized: Net actuarial loss 23,298 17,436 9,398 Transition asset (431) (862) (1,293) Prior service cost 233 267 300 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net amount recognized $4,516 $(10,017) $(11,254) ========================================================================= The accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plan was $45.6 million, $39.1 million and $37.6 million at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

This assumption is monitored on an on-going basis. The plan's assets are invested in the plan trust within the ranges specified above. Fixed income and cash equivalents must meet minimum rating standards. Exposure to any particular company or industry are also limited. The investment policy is reviewed annually. Equity securities included common stock of Old National in the amount of $3.3 million (7% of total plan assets), $3.4 million (12% of total plan assets) and $3.3 million (10% of total plan assets), at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 respectively. At December 31, 2003, asset category allocations were outside the target range due to a December employer contribution included in cash equivalents. On January 31, 2004, subsequent to investing this contribution, allocations were 60% equity securities, 31% debt securities and 9% cash equivalents. Old National expects to contribute $0.2 million to the pension plan in 2004. In addition, the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid: ----------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) ----------------------------------------------------- 2004 $ 1,362 2005 1,603 2006 1,881 2007 2,257 2008 2,656 Years 2009 - 2013 20,571 ----------------------------------------------------- EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Old National has an employee stock ownership plan (previously known as the Employee's Savings and Profit Sharing Plan) covering all employees who have completed an eligibility period of at least 12 months of employment and 1,000 hours of service, as defined under the plan. Contributions, in cash or Old National Bancorp stock, made to the plan are a percentage match, based on years of service, of each eligible participant's contributions to the Old National Bancorp Employees' Savings Plan (401K). In addition, Old National may contribute an amount designated at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. Contribution expense under the plan was $7.4 million in 2003, $7.7 million in 2002 and $7.6 million in 2001. RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN Old National has a restricted stock plan, which covers certain officers. Shares were earned each year based on the achievement of net income targets and are currently fully vested. STOCK OPTIONS On January 31, 2003, Old National granted 2.6 million stock options to key employees at an option price of $21.71, the closing price of Old National's stock on that date. On January 22, 2002, Old National granted 2.0 million of stock options to key employees at an exercise price of $21.62, the closing price of Old National's stock on that date. On June 27, 2001, Old National granted 1.6 million of stock options to key employees at an exercise price of $22.79, 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. Old National was authorized to grant up to 7.3 million shares of common stock under the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan. Under this plan, active 53 employees with unvested restricted stock shares could exchange those shares for stock options by August 27, 2001. On that date, 76,858 unvested restricted stock shares were converted to 0.5 million of stock options. Old National applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for the stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation costs have been recognized. See Note 1 for proforma net income and net income per share data. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield of 3.1% in 2003, 3.0% in 2002 and 2.7% in 2001; expected volatility of 18.0% in 2003, 18.0% in 2002, 18.2% in 2001; and a risk-free rate of 4.5% in 2003, 5.4% in 2002 and 5.3% in 2001. All per share data and exercise price data have been adjusted for a 5% stock dividend that was declared to shareholders of record on January 6, 2004, and distributed on January 27, 2004. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 2002 2001 ------------------------- ------------------------ ------------------------ Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Exercise Exercise Exercise (shares in thousands) Shares Price Shares Price Shares Price - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding, January 1 4,054 $21.87 2,246 $21.79 233 $11.47 Granted 2,608 21.71 1,980 21.62 1,965 22.79 Exercised (21) 9.67 (57) 9.37 (49) 13.49 Forfeited (175) 22.06 (115) 22.21 (10) 22.79 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding, December 31 6,466 $21.84 4,054 $21.87 2,139 $21.79 ==================================================================================================================== Options exercisable at end of year 2,202 $21.96 975 $21.25 613 $19.29 Weighted-average fair value of options granted during the year 4.39 5.13 5.87 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information pertaining to options outstanding was as follows at December 31, 2003: - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (shares in Options Outstanding Options Exercisable thousands ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- Weighted Weighted Weighted Average Average Average Range of Number Remaining Exercise Number Exercise Exercise Price Outstanding Contractual Life Price Exercisable Price - ------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- $ 5.33 - 7.76 9 0.4 Years $7.44 9 $7.44 9.67 - 11.67 62 3.4 10.83 62 10.83 12.50 - 15.08 31 4.5 14.06 31 14.06 16.61 - 18.02 14 4.1 17.27 14 17.27 21.62 - 22.79 6,350 8.3 22.01 2,086 22.51 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 6,466 8.2 $21.84 2,202 $21.96 =================================================================================================== NOTE 13 - OUTSIDE DIRECTOR STOCK COMPENSATION PROGRAM During 2003, Old National implemented a director stock compensation program covering all outside directors. Compensation shares are earned semi-annually. A maximum of 157,500 shares of common stock is available for issuance under this program. As of December 31, 2003, Old National had issued 6,221 shares under this program. NOTE 14 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY STOCK DIVIDEND A 5% stock dividend was declared on December 4, 2003, and distributed on January 27, 2004, to the shareholders of record on January 6, 2004. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this stock dividend. 54 DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN Old National has a dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan under which common shares issued may be either repurchased shares or authorized and previously unissued shares. As of December 31, 2003, 500,000 authorized and unissued common shares were reserved for issuance under the plan. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN Old National has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan whereby one right was distributed for each outstanding share of Old National's common stock. The rights become exercisable on the tenth day following a public announcement that a person has acquired or intends to acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of Old National's outstanding common stock. Upon exercising the rights, the holder is entitled to buy 1/100 of a share of Junior Preferred Stock at $60, subject to adjustment, for every right held. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the rights may be redeemed by Old National at a price of $0.01 per right. In the event an acquiring party becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of Old National's outstanding shares, rights holders (other than the acquiring person) may purchase two shares of Old National common stock for the price of one share at the then market price. If Old National is acquired and is not the surviving corporation, or if Old National survives a merger but has all or part of its common stock exchanged, each rights holder will be entitled to acquire shares of the acquiring company with a value of two times the then exercise price of the rights for each right held. NOTE 15 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of certain financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet, are required to be disclosed when it is practicable to estimate fair value. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument. CASH, DUE FROM BANKS AND MONEY MARKET INVESTMENTS For these instruments, the carrying amounts approximate fair values. INVESTMENT SECURITIES For investment securities, fair values are based on quoted market prices, if available. For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on market prices of similar securities. RESIDENTIAL LOANS HELD FOR SALE Residential loans held for sale have been hedged using fair value hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133. The loans' carrying basis reflects the effects of the SFAS No. 133 adjustments, thus their carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. LOANS The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined based on dealer quotes and are recorded in "Other assets" or "Accrued expenses and other liabilities". DEPOSITS The fair value of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings, NOW and money market deposits is the amount payable as of the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. 55 SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally have an original term to maturity of 30 days or less and, therefore, their carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. OTHER BORROWINGS The fair values of other borrowings are estimated using rates currently available to Old National for obligations with similar terms and remaining maturities. STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT Fair values for standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. In 2003, the fair value for standby letters of credit was recorded in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with FIN 45. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair values for off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, and for fixed-rate commitments, also considered the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. For further information regarding the notional amounts of these financial instruments, see Note 17. The estimated carrying and fair values of Old National's financial instruments as of December 31 are as follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Carrying Fair (dollars in thousands) Value Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2003 Financial Assets Cash, due from banks and money market investments $ 236,889 $ 236,889 Investment securities available-for-sale 2,706,340 2,706,340 Investment securities held-to-maturity 210,905 209,316 Residential loans held for sale 16,338 16,338 Loans, net 5,465,546 5,460,630 Mortgage servicing rights 14,659 15,039 Derivative assets 15,317 15,317 Financial Liabilities Deposits $6,493,092 $6,542,898 Short-term borrowings 414,588 414,588 Other borrowings 1,624,092 1,692,186 Derivative liabilities 13,024 13,024 Standby letters of credit 326 326 Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments Commitments to extend credit $ - $2,590 Commercial letters of credit - 69 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 56 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Carrying Fair (dollars in thousands) Value Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2002 Financial Assets Cash, due from banks and money market investments $ 236,226 $ 236,226 Investment securities available-for-sale 3,077,798 3,077,798 Residential loans held for sale 92,598 92,598 Loans, net 5,589,295 5,614,204 Mortgage servicing rights 11,367 11,367 Derivative assets 34,920 34,920 Financial Liabilities Deposits $6,439,280 $6,522,471 Short-term borrowings 918,349 918,349 Other borrowings 1,397,857 1,429,949 Derivative liabilities 574 574 Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments Commitments to extend credit $ - $2,544 Commercial letters of credit - 234 Standby letters of credit - 282 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE 16 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following table summarizes the derivative financial instruments utilized by Old National at December 31: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2003 2002 -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Estimated Fair Value Estimated Fair Value Notional ----------------------- Notional ---------------------- (dollars in thousands) Amount Gain Loss Amount Gain Loss - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fair Value Hedges Received fixed interest rate swaps $ 714,696 $12,878 $(11,784) $ 824,000 $32,804 $ (1) Interest rate lock commitments 26,152 239 - 89,694 989 - Forward mortgage loan contracts 36,832 - (266) 133,076 - (573) Options on contracts purchased 3,000 - (3) - - - Loans held for sale warehouse 16,338 73 - - - - Mortgage rate lock derivative 26,152 41 - 89,694 135 - Cash Flow Hedges HELOC cash flow 100,000 1,127 - 50,000 992 - Pay fixed interest rate swaps 30,000 - (12) - - - Customer interest rate swaps 43,756 618 (293) - - - Customer interest rate swaps with counterparty 43,756 293 (618) - - - Customer interest rate cap 13,000 - (48) - - - Customer interest rate cap with counterparty 13,000 48 - - - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total $1,066,682 $15,317 $(13,024) $1,186,464 $34,920 $(574) ================================================================================================================== Old National has interest rate contracts that are an exchange of interest payments with no effect on the principal amounts of the underlying hedged liabilities. For the fair value hedges, 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 on or prior to April 15, 2032. Old National has cash flow hedges that pay the counterparty a variable rate based on prime and receives a fixed rate ranging from 2.12% to 6.15%. 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 57 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 adopted in 2003, loan commitments that relate to the origination of residential real estate loan commitments with customers that will be held for sale are accounted for as derivative instruments at fair value. Accordingly, Old National marks these derivatives to market through earnings. Old National uses derivatives, primarily mortgage-backed whole loan cash forward sale agreements, to hedge exposure to changes in interest rates in its residential real estate loan origination and sale activity. In addition, beginning in February 2003, Old National began fair value hedge accounting for the closed loans held for sale warehouse. As of December 31, 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, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting. Contracts are carried at fair value with changes recorded as a component of other noninterest income. 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 anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations 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. NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION In the normal course of business, various legal actions and proceedings, which are being vigorously defended, are pending against Old National and its affiliates. 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. During the fourth quarter of 2003, Old National advanced steps to settle certain litigation arising out of these claims and has established a reserve of $10 million for the settlement and other related litigation still pending. $16 million of the estimated $31 million exposure has been ruled in favor of Old National at the trial court level and is currently on appeal, with the remaining $15 million of the exposure to be covered by the reserve. It is not expected that any future losses will have a material impact on Old National's results of operations. BUILDING COMMITMENT 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. 58 LEASES Old National rents certain premises and equipment under operating leases, which expire at various dates. Many of these leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance and other costs. In some cases, rentals are subject to increase in relation to a cost-of-living index. Total rental expense was $6.8 million in 2003, $5.7 million in 2002 and $5.2 million in 2001. The following is a summary of future minimum lease commitments as of December 31, 2003: ----------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) ----------------------------------- 2004 $ 8,740 2005 7,254 2006 5,313 2007 3,365 2008 3,499 Thereafter 12,085 ----------------------------------- CREDIT-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In the normal course of business, Old National's banking affiliates have entered into various agreements to extend credit, including loan commitments of $1.577 billion, commercial letters of credit of $19.3 million and standby letters of credit of $85.4 million at December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2002, loan commitments were $1.178 billion, commercial letters of credit were $62.4 million and standby letters of credit were $70.0 million. These commitments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. No material losses are expected to result from these transactions. At December 31, 2003, Old National had credit extensions of $70.2 million with various unaffiliated banks related to letter of credit commitments issued on behalf of Old National's customers. At December 31, 2003, the unsecured portion was $31.6 million and the secured portion was $38.6 million. NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL GUARANTEES Old National holds instruments, in the normal course of business with customers, that are considered financial guarantees in accordance with 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. The term of these standby letters of credit is typically one year or less. At December 31, 2003, the notional amount of standby letters of credit was $85.4 million, which represents the maximum amount of future funding requirements, and the carrying value was $0.3 million. Old National also enters into forward contracts for the future delivery of conforming residential real estate loans at a specified interest rate to reduce interest rate risk associated with loans held for sale. These forward contracts are considered derivative instruments accounted for under SFAS No. 133. See additional information in Note 16. NOTE 19 - REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS Old National's affiliate bank is required to maintain reserve balances on hand and with the Federal Reserve Bank which are noninterest bearing and unavailable for investment purposes. The reserve balances at December 31 were $58.5 million in 2003 and $52.2 million in 2002. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS FROM AFFILIATE BANK Regulations limit the amount of dividends an affiliate bank can declare in any year without obtaining prior regulatory approval. At December 31, 2003, prior regulatory approval was not required for Old National's affiliate bank. 59 CAPITAL ADEQUACY Old National and its bank subsidiary are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can elicit certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Old National's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Old National and its bank subsidiary must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Old National and its bank subsidiary to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as set forth in the following table. At December 31, 2003, Old National and its bank subsidiary exceeded the regulatory minimums and met the regulatory definition of well-capitalized. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the bank subsidiary must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risked-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios. The following table summarizes capital ratios for Old National and its significant bank subsidiary as of December 31: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Capital For Well Actual Adequacy Purposes Capitalized Purposes ----------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------- (dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ December 31, 2003 Total capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp $905,941 14.65 % $494,882 8.00 % $ N/A N/A % Old National Bank 861,986 14.23 484,706 8.00 605,883 10.00 Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp 678,279 10.96 247,441 4.00 N/A N/A Old National Bank 635,898 10.50 242,353 4.00 363,530 6.00 Tier 1 capital to average assets Old National Bancorp 678,279 7.35 369,195 4.00 N/A N/A Old National Bank 635,898 6.97 273,526 3.00 455,876 5.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ December 31, 2002 Total capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp $928,848 14.75 % $503,650 8.00 % $ N/A N/A % Old National Bank 845,743 13.68 494,721 8.00 618,401 10.00 Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp 700,061 11.12 251,825 4.00 N/A N/A Old National Bank 618,365 10.00 247,360 4.00 371,040 6.00 Tier 1 capital to average assets Old National Bancorp 700,061 7.53 371,888 4.00 N/A N/A Old National Bank 618,365 6.71 276,515 3.00 460,859 5.00 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The capital treatment of trust securities is currently under review by the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") due to the issuing trust companies being deconsolidated under FIN 46. See Note 1 for additional information on this deconsolidation. Depending on the capital treatment resolution, trust securities may no longer qualify for Tier 1 Capital treatment, but instead would qualify for Tier 2 Capital. On July 2, 2003, the FRB issued a Supervision and Regulation Letter requiring that bank holding companies continue to follow the current instructions for reporting trust securities in its regulatory reports. Accordingly, Old National will continue to report trust securities in Tier 1 Capital until further notice from the FRB. 60 NOTE 20 - PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following are the condensed parent company only financial statements of Old National Bancorp: OLD NATIONAL BANCORP (PARENT COMPANY ONLY) CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET -

SEGMENT INFORMATION 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. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1. 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 2003 includes noninterest expense of $10.0 million and segment loss of $6.7 million after-tax related to litigation as discussed in Note 17. The "Other" column for 2002 also includes noninterest income of $12.5 million and segment profit of $8.3 million after-tax related to the branch divestitures as discussed in Note 2. In 62 2001, the "Other" column includes segment noninterest expense of $9.7 million and segment loss of $5.9 million after-tax related to merger and restructuring costs as discussed in Note 22. 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. Summarized financial information concerning segments is shown in the following table for the years ended December 31: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Community Non-bank (dollars in thousands) Banking Services Treasury Other Total - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 Net interest income $ 292,643 $ 272 $ (24,882) $ 3,974 $ 272,007 Provision for loan losses 85,000 -- -- -- 85,000 Noninterest income 124,796 75,055 30,647 (38,349) 192,149 Noninterest expense 254,353 68,686 1,052 (24,375) 299,716 Income tax expense (benefit) 19,327 2,169 (9,203) (3,266) 9,027 Segment profit (loss) 58,759 4,472 13,916 (6,734) 70,413 Total assets 5,794,286 137,927 3,286,544 135,139 9,353,896 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 Net interest income $ 299,429 $ 1,565 $ (13,242) $ 1,677 $ 289,429 Provision for loan losses 33,500 -- -- -- 33,500 Noninterest income 111,477 50,464 20,706 (28,150) 154,497 Noninterest expense 246,030 48,405 2,355 (38,945) 257,845 Income tax expense (benefit) 38,116 1,222 (8,879) 4,190 34,649 Segment profit 93,260 2,402 13,988 8,282 117,932 Total assets 6,066,210 97,051 3,359,363 89,932 9,612,556 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 Net interest income $ 282,412 $ 779 $ 5,940 $ 2,168 $ 291,299 Provision for loan losses 28,700 -- -- -- 28,700 Noninterest income 100,713 35,335 9,864 (32,945) 112,967 Noninterest expense 241,697 32,742 1,447 (21,074) 254,812 Income tax expense (benefit) 34,057 1,172 (3,736) (3,783) 27,710 Segment profit (loss) 78,671 2,200 18,093 (5,920) 93,044 Total assets 6,505,072 28,101 2,454,630 92,670 9,080,473 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 63 NOTE 22 - MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS During the second quarter of 2001, Old National announced that it would further restructure its regional banking administrative structure and incur additional expenses in the consolidation of ANB Corporation, which it acquired in the first quarter of 2000. The restructuring of the banking operations involved consolidating the administrative structure of the banking franchise from six regions into three regions and the closure or sale of up to 10 branches. Approximately 100 positions were eliminated and the charges associated with severance, facilities and equipment write-offs were $7.7 million. The operations and management integration plan was finalized for the ANB acquisition and additional charges of $2.0 million for personnel costs and costs of consolidating the operation function of the Trust business were recorded. The components of the charges were as follows: -------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) -------------------------------------------------------- Professional fees $ 428 Severance and related costs 6,477 Fixed asset write-downs 2,047 Other 751 -------------------------------------------------------- Total merger and restructuring costs $9,703 ======================================================== The changes to the remaining restructuring charge accrual were as follows for the years ended December 31: -------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) 2003 2002 -------------------------------------------------------- Balance, January 1 $1,039 $ 4,124 Payments: Professional fees - (126) Severance and related costs (630) (2,000) Fixed asset write-downs (53) (457) Other - (502) -------------------------------------------------------- Balance, December 31 $ 356 $ 1,039 ======================================================== ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Not applicable ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 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 annual report on Form 10-K, 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 disclosure. 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 judgements 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. 64 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. Significant changes were made during 2003 to upgrade and improve the systems and controls used by management in the determination of an appropriate allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2003. These new controls continue to be tested and refined and management used a variety of additional information and analytical techniques to supplement the data provided by the new methodology in arriving at the appropriate allowance at year-end 2003.
