KENTUCKY BANCSHARES, INC. Date: January 30, 2015 By /s/ Gregory J. Dawson___ Gregory J. Dawson Chief Financial Officer EX-99 2 form8k144ex99.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 January 30, 2015 Earnings Report December 31, 2014 Dear Shareholders: We are pleased to announce a record year for Kentucky Bancshares, Inc., as both total assets and net income reached record highs. Total assets were $855.2 million as of December 31, 2014 compared to $770.6 million as of December 31, 2013 reflecting a growth rate of 11.0%. Year to date net income was $7.1 million for the period ended December 31, 2014 compared to $5.8 million for December 31, 2013 reflecting an increase of 21.5%. These increases are fundamentally due to increased growth through deeper mature-market penetration and new-market expansion in Fayette and Madison Counties. Year to date diluted earnings per share increased 20.9% to $2.60 from $2.15 during the same period last year. The increase in year to date earnings is largely attributable to higher net interest income due to interest earning asset growth and lower provision expense due to continued improving loan quality. Quarter to date diluted earnings per share increased 74.3% to $0.61 from $0.35 during the same period last year. The increase in quarterly earnings is primarily due to higher net interest income, lower income tax relative to the same period last year, and the pension accrual in 2013. The overall increase in total assets was driven by a 14.9% increase in total loans, which was funded by a 6.1% increase in deposits and a 55.2% increase in other borrowed funds. Similar to 2013, borrowings increased in an effort to strategically lock in longer term funding at fixed rates for anticipated growth and to minimize rate sensitivity in anticipation of an increasing rate environment. Consistent with our strategic objective to build and reaffirm a strong foundation for future growth, we were excited to announce on January 21, 2015 the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. will acquire Madison Financial Corporation, the parent company of Madison Bank, in an all-stock merger. This transaction will expand our existing footprint in Madison County and is anticipated to add approximately $120 million in total assets to our balance sheet. Madison Bank has great strengths in its customers and employees, and we look forward to the anticipated business combination in the second or third quarter of 2015. The completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval of Madison Financial Corporation shareholders. While the addition of new branches will increase expenses in the short term, we believe these expansions to be key components for future growth, profitability, and company value. Our view should always be a long term one and we will continue to consider opportunities for further franchise expansion, which advance our growth objectives while maintaining our ability to provide Premier Customer Service. We will continue to do everything possible to accomplish what is in the long term best interest of our shareholders, customers, and employees. As always, we appreciate your support. /s/Louis Prichard Louis Prichard President, CEO Additional Information for Shareholders because of Possible Business Combination This communication does not constitute a solicitation of any vote or approval or offer to sell securities.
