The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company"), a financial holding company, and its bank and nonbank subsidiaries. Bank subsidiaries and their significant nonbank subsidiaries include Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co. (“Farmers Bank”) in Frankfort, KY and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Leasing One Corporation (“Leasing One”) and Farmers Capital Insurance Corporation (“Farmers Insurance”). Leasing One is a commercial leasing company in Frankfort, KY and Farmers Insurance is an insurance agency in Frankfort, KY; Farmers Bank and Trust Company in Georgetown, KY (“Farmers Georgetown”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Pro Mortgage Partners, LLC (“Pro Mortgage”), a mortgage brokerage company offering a variety of fixed rate loan products; First Citizens Bank in Elizabethtown, KY; United Bank & Trust Co. in Versailles, KY; The Lawrenceburg Bank & Trust Company, formerly Lawrenceburg National Bank, in Harrodsburg, KY; Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky, Inc. in Newport, KY (“Citizens Northern”); and Citizens Bank of Jessamine County, Inc., formerly Citizens National Bank of Jessamine County, in Nicholasville, KY (“Citizens Jessamine”).

The Company has three active nonbank subsidiaries, FCB Services, Inc. (“FCB Services”), Kentucky General Holdings, LLC (“Kentucky General”), and FFKT Insurance Services, Inc. (“FFKT Insurance”). FCB Services is a data processing subsidiary located in Frankfort, KY, which provides services to the Company’s banks as well as other unaffiliated entities. Kentucky General holds a 50% voting interest in KHL Holdings, LLC, which is the parent company of Kentucky Home Life Insurance Company. FFKT Insurance is a captive property and casualty insurance company insuring primarily deductible exposures and uncovered liability related to properties of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company provides financial services at its 36 locations in 23 communities throughout Central and Northern Kentucky to individual, business, agriculture, government, and educational customers. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts.  Its primary lending products are residential mortgage, commercial lending and leasing, and installment loans. Substantially all loans and leases are secured by specific items of collateral including business assets, consumer assets, and commercial and residential real estate. Commercial loans and leases are expected to be repaid from cash flow from operations of businesses. Farmers Bank has served as the general depository for the Commonwealth of Kentucky for over 70 years and also provides investment and other services to the Commonwealth. Other services include, but are not limited to, cash management services, issuing letters of credit, safe deposit box rental, and providing funds transfer services.  Other financial instruments, which potentially represent concentrations of credit risk, include deposit accounts in other financial institutions and federal funds sold.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements are based on various factors including the current interest rate environment and the general strength of the local economy.  Changes in the overall interest rate environment can significantly affect the Company’s net interest income and the value of its recorded assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has been prepared from the books and records without audit.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements, have been included.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2.
Discontinued Operations

During 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell Kentucky Banking Centers, Inc. (“KBC”), its former wholly-owned bank subsidiary in Glasgow, Kentucky, in a cash transaction valued at $20.0 million. The Company completed the sale on November 30, 2006 that resulted in a pretax gain of $9.4 million.

The Company also announced during 2006 that it had entered into an agreement to sell the Owingsville and Sharpsburg branches of Farmers Georgetown in Bath County (the “Branches”). The sale was completed on December 1, 2006 and the Company recorded a pretax gain on the sale of the Branches of $431 thousand.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the results of operations of KBC and Farmers Georgetown’s Branches are removed from the detail line items of the Company’s financial statements and presented separately as discontinued operations. Prior period results included herein have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation which displays the operating results prior to the sale and the subsequent gains on sale of KBC and the Branches as discontinued operations. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity.

3.            Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications do not affect net income or total shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

4.           Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. This statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. It establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. In addition, SFAS No. 155 clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. It also clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. Adoption of SFAS No. 155 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”. This Statement amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", and requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable and permits the entities to elect either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of SFAS No. 140 for subsequent measurement. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. Adoption of SFAS No. 156 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement provides clarification of the definition of fair value, methods used to measure fair value, and additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This Standard is applicable in circumstances in which other Standards require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Therefore, this Standard does not require any new fair value measurements. This Standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement on January 1, 2008 to have a material impact on its results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

9


On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 allows companies to record certain financial assets and financial liabilities at full fair value if they so choose. SFAS No. 159 was issued to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by an accounting model utilizing multiple measurement attributes.  The adoption of the fair value option is recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, which would be January 1 for the Company. Upon adoption, the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the items chosen is included in the cumulative-effect adjustment. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded through the income statement. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year after November 15, 2007, which is January 1, 2008 for the Company. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material impact on its results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, to clarify certain aspects of accounting for uncertain tax positions, including issues related to the recognition and measurement of those tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. It is the Company’s policy to charge any interest and penalties, if incurred, to their respective federal or state income tax expense accounts. The Company files U.S. federal and various state income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2003. Adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and consolidated financial condition.

5.           Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average total number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted net income per common share is determined by dividing net income by the total weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the total weighted average number of shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutive stock options assuming proceeds are used to repurchase shares pursuant to the treasury stock method.  Net income per common share computations were as follows at June 30, 2007 and 2006.

6.         Business Combination – Military Allotment Operation, PNC Bank, National Association

In January 2007, First Citizens completed its transaction to acquire the Military Allotment operation of PNC Bank, National Association in a cash transaction. First Citizens acquired intangible assets in the form of a customer list and goodwill. It also recorded a core deposit intangible in connection with receiving approximately $10.8 million in deposits from PNC in the transaction. First Citizens merged the acquired Military Allotment operation into its existing allotment operations, which specializes in the processing of federal benefit payments and military allotments.

The total cost related to this acquisition, which was paid entirely in cash, was $12.7 million. The customer list and core deposit intangible assets of $1.3 million and $1.9 million at acquisition are being amortized over a life of 7 years under a declining amortization schedule through year 2013. Goodwill is not subject to periodic amortization in the consolidated financial statements, but will be deductible for federal income tax purposes over a period of 15 years. The following table summarized the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.

7.         Subsequent Event – Share Repurchase and Trust Preferred Securities Transaction

In July 2007, the Company announced a tender offer to purchase for cash up to 550 thousand shares of its outstanding common stock at a price not greater than $35.00 nor less than $31.00 per share through a process commonly known as a modified “Dutch Auction”. Assuming the maximum number of shares of our common stock is tendered, the aggregate purchase price will be between $17.1 million and $19.3 million. The tender offer is scheduled to expire, unless extended, at 12:01 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Savings Time) on August 16, 2007.
 
As part of the modified Dutch Auction repurchase program, the Company anticipates issuing up to $25.0 million of trust preferred securities to finance the cost of the share purchases. The Company intends to complete a private offering of trust preferred securities through a Delaware statutory trust sponsored by the Company. The trust would sell up to $25.0 million of preferred securities and the Company will own all of the common securities of the trust. The trust will use the proceeds from the sale of the preferred securities, plus capital contributed to establish the trust, to purchase the Company’s junior subordinated notes in amounts and bearing terms that mirror the amounts and terms of the preferred securities. Capital from the proceeds of the trust preferred securities, which will not be dilutive to common shareholders, is expected to be part of our regulatory capital base and allow us to maintain our historically strong, “well-capitalized” regulatory rating. Any excess funds raised in the trust preferred securities transaction that remain available following the tender offer will be used for general corporate purposes.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions (both generally and more specifically in the markets in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate) and lower interest margins; competition for the Company’s customers from other providers of financial services; deposit outflows or reduced demand for financial services and loan products; government legislation, regulation, and changes in monetary and fiscal policies (which changes from time to time and over which the Company has no control); changes in interest rates; inflation; material unforeseen changes in the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of the Company’s customers; changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs; the capability of the Company to successfully enter into a definitive agreement for and close anticipated transactions; the possibility that acquired entities may not perform as well as expected; unexpected claims or litigation against the Company; technological or operational difficulties; the impact of new accounting pronouncements and changes in policies and practices that may be adopted by regulatory agencies; acts of war or terrorism; and other risks or uncertainties detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company.  The Company expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our opinions or expectations.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In June 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Kentucky Banking Centers, Inc. (“KBC”), based in Glasgow, Kentucky.  During the third quarter of 2006, the Company also committed to a plan of sale of the Bath County branches of its wholly-owned subsidiary Farmers Bank & Trust Company.  Both sales were closed during the fourth quarter of 2006. Prior period results included herein have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation which displays the operating results of KBC and Bath County as discontinued operations. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity. Unless otherwise noted, this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relate only to the Company’s continuing operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 2007 Compared to Second Quarter 2006

The Company reported income from continuing operations of $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $606 thousand or 14.1% compared to $4.3 million for the same period in 2006.  Basic and diluted net income per share was $.62 for the current three months, an increase of $.04 or 6.9% compared to $.58 in the same three-month period a year ago.

Although net income in dollar terms increased 14.1% in the three-month comparison, net income on a per share diluted basis increased by a lower amount of 6.9%.  The increase in net income on a per share basis is lower due to the effect of an additional 464 thousand shares issued in connection with the acquisition of Citizens National Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Citizens Bank of Jessamine County (“Citizens Bank”). The operating results related to Citizens Bank, acquired on October 1, 2006, generally increased reported income and expense line items in the current three-month period compared to a year ago since there are no operating results attributed to Citizens Bank in the comparable period.  Net loans and deposits acquired from Citizens Bank on the date of purchase were $120 million and $139 million, respectively.


12


The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily related to an increase in net interest income that was led by the Citizens Bank acquisition. Net interest income was $14.9 million in the current three-month period ended June 30, 2007. This represents an increase of $2.6 million or 21.3% compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in net interest income is primarily due to higher interest on loans of $6.0 million or 32.9%, partially offset by $3.9 million or 53.4% higher interest expense on deposits. The Citizens Bank acquisition accounted for $1.4 million of the increase in net interest income, including $2.4 million higher interest from loans partially offset by $1.3 million higher interest expense on deposits.

The provision for loans losses was $330 thousand in the current three-month period, an increase of $377 thousand compared to a negative provision of $47 thousand in the same three-month period a year ago. The Company’s nonperforming loans and net charge-offs are up in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2007, although still at relatively low levels. In addition, at June 30, 2007 loans, net of unearned income, are up $48.6 million and $73.3 million compared to March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. As a percentage of net loans outstanding, the allowance for loan losses was .89% as of June 30, 2007 compared to .92% and 1.0% at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Noninterest income was $6.1 million in the current quarter, an increase of $1.1 million or 22.4% in the comparable period of a year earlier. The increase in noninterest income was driven by the previously mentioned Citizens Bank acquisition and the acquisition of the Military Allotment operation of PNC Bank, National Association that occurred during January, 2007. The Citizens Bank acquisition accounted for an additional $407 thousand of noninterest income during the current three-month period; the Military Allotment acquisition accounted for an additional $968 thousand of noninterest income during the current three-month period. The increase in fee income from these acquisitions offset revenue declines experienced in other line items from previously existing operations.

Noninterest expenses increased $1.9 million or 15.1% for the current three-month period compared to the same period a year earlier. The increase in noninterest expenses is due mainly to higher personnel costs and intangible amortization. Salaries and employee benefits were up $1.0 million or 15.8% in the three-month comparison, as the average number of full time equivalent employees rose to 588 from 537. Amortization of intangibles increased $401 thousand or 89.7% and is attributed to the additional customer list and core deposit intangible assets resulting from the Citizens Bank and Military Allotment acquisitions. Combined other noninterest expenses had a net increase of $434 thousand or 8.0% and occurred across a broad range of categories.  These increases are generally attributed to the Company’s recent acquisitions. The effective income tax rate increased to 22.3% from 20.0% in the three-month comparison.

The return on average assets (“ROA”) was 1.06% for the current quarter of 2007, an increase of 5 basis points compared to 1.01% reported for the same period of 2006.  The increase in ROA was led by a 15 basis point reduction in noninterest expenses as a percentage of average assets, partially offset by a higher provision for loan losses relative to average assets of 8 basis points. The return on average equity ("ROE") was 10.91% for the current quarter of 2007, an increase of 85 basis points compared to 10.06% for the same period of 2006.  The increase in ROE is attributed to a combination of the higher ROA and a 33 basis point increase in financial leverage to 10.3% from 10.0%.  Financial leverage represents the degree in which borrowed funds, as opposed to equity, are used in the funding of assets.

Income from discontinued operations was zero for the current three-month period and $428 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. There were no discontinued operations in the current-year period presented since all discontinued operations were disposed of during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. Net interest income is the excess of the interest income earned on earning assets over the interest paid for funds to support those assets. The two most common metrics used to analyze net interest income are net interest spread and net interest margin.  Net interest spread represents the difference between the yields on earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.  Net interest margin represents the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets.  Net interest margin will exceed net interest spread because of the existence of noninterest bearing sources of funds, principally demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, which are also available to fund earning assets.  Changes in net interest income and margin result from the interaction between the volume and the composition of earning

13


assets, their related yields, and the associated cost and composition of the interest bearing liabilities. Accordingly, portfolio size, composition, and the related yields earned and the average rates paid can have a significant impact on net interest spread and margin. The tables that follow this discussion represent the major components of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities on a tax equivalent basis.  To compare the tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to pretax equivalents based on the marginal corporate Federal tax rate of 35%.

The Company’s tax equivalent (“TE”) yield on earning assets for the current three months was 7.2%, an increase of 57 basis points from 6.6% in the same period a year ago.  The cost of funds for the current three months was 3.8%, an increase of 60 basis points compared to 3.2% in the same period a year earlier.  A goal of the Company in the current interest rate environment is to increase earning assets while maintaining the current relatively low interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.  The Company strives to accomplish this goal while providing excellent service, offering competitive rates to its customers, and maintaining its core deposit base.  Maintaining the relatively low cost of funds is becoming increasingly difficult due to the current economic environment and competitive market forces.  Average earning assets were $1.6 billion for the current quarter, an increase of $279 million or 20.6% compared to $1.4 billion a year ago. As a percentage of total average assets, earning assets were relatively unchanged at 87.4%.

Interest income results from interest earned on earning assets, which primarily include loans and investment securities. Interest income is affected by the volume (average balance), composition of earning assets, and the related rates earned on those assets. Total interest income for the second quarter of 2007 was $28.5 million, an increase of $6.8 million or 31.6% compared to the same period in the previous year. The growth in interest income was mainly attributed to higher interest income on loans of $6.0 million or 32.9%.  Interest income on loans increased as a result of higher average loan balances outstanding resulting from the Citizens Bank acquisition, higher internally generated loan growth, and a 52 basis point increase in the average rate earned on loans.  The Citizens Bank acquisition accounted for $2.4 million of the increase in interest income on loans.

Interest and fees on loans was $24.2 million, an increase of $6.0 million or 32.9% compared to a year earlier.  Average loans increased $248 million or 24.6% to $1.3 billion in the comparison due mainly to a $122 million higher average balance outstanding from the acquisition of Citizens Bank and higher loan demand.  Interest income on loans was also boosted by a 52 basis point increase in the tax equivalent yield to 7.8% from 7.3% in the quarterly comparison. Interest on taxable securities was $2.9 million, an increase of $731 thousand or 33.7% due to a 79 basis point increase in the average rate earned combined with a $25.8 million or 12.2% increase in average balances outstanding.  Interest on nontaxable securities declined 8.3% to $844 thousand due mainly to a 58 basis point drop in the average rate and, to a lesser extent, a $2.7 million decline in the average balance. Interest on short-term investments, including time deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, increased $198 thousand or 55.5% to $555 thousand due mainly to a 102 basis point increase in the average rate earned to 4.5% from 3.4%. An $8.2 million or 19.6% increase in the average balance outstanding also contributed to the increase in interest earned. The increase in the average rate earned on short-term investments is mainly attributed to higher federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, which are temporary investments generally having interest rates that fluctuate more closely with overall short-term market interest rates and have increased in the period to period comparison.

Interest expense results from incurring interest on interest bearing liabilities, which primarily include interest bearing deposits, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and other borrowed funds. Interest expense is affected by volume, composition of interest bearing liabilities, and the related rates paid on those liabilities. Total interest expense was $13.7 million for second quarter of 2007, an increase of $4.2 million or 44.9% from the same period in the prior year.  Interest expense increased mainly as a result of higher interest expense on deposits of $3.9 million or 53.4% and was mainly driven by additional volume of $235 million or 23.3%. Interest expense on deposits increased as a result of higher deposit balances outstanding from the Citizens Bank acquisition, higher deposits generated internally, and higher rates paid on interest bearing deposits throughout the entire deposit portfolio.  The Citizens Bank acquisition accounted for an additional $120 million in average interest bearing deposits outstanding. The Company’s cost of funds was 3.8% for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 60 basis points from 3.2% for the same period of the prior year.  The percentage increase in cost of funds was led by an 84 basis point increase in time deposits.

Interest expense on time deposits, the largest component of total interest expense, increased $3.6 million or 65.8% to $8.9 million. The increase is due to both a $201 million or 37.0% increase in volume combined with an 84 basis

14


point increase in the average rate paid to 4.8% from 4.0%.  The increase in average time deposits outstanding in the comparable periods was fueled by an additional $72.3 million of time deposits related to the Citizens Bank acquisition along with additional time deposits generated internally in order to fund higher loan growth. The increase in the average rate paid is due to competitive market conditions, the need to attract additional deposits to support asset growth, and the relocation or opening of branch sites in existing or new markets.

Interest expense on interest bearing demand deposits was relatively unchanged at $918 thousand for the second quarter of 2007. Interest expense on savings deposits increased $374 thousand or 36.9% and was due to the combination of a $38.6 million or 18.7% increase in volume and a 30 basis point increase in the average rates paid to 2.3% from 2.0%.  The Citizens Bank acquisition contributed an additional $40.4 million in average savings deposits with an average rate paid of 3.8% in the current three-month period.  Excluding the additional savings deposits attributed to the Citizens Bank acquisition, average savings deposits for the Company declined $1.8 million or .9%.

Interest expense on federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $107 thousand or 9.9% due to a $12.4 million or 13.8% increase in the average balance outstanding partially due to additional correspondent banking activity.  Interest expense on other borrowed funds consists primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings and subordinated notes payable to unconsolidated trusts.  Interest expense on other borrowed funds was $1.2 million, an increase of $208 thousand or 20.6% and is due mainly to an increase in interest expense related to higher FHLB average borrowings outstanding. Interest expense on the Company’s subordinated notes payable increased $24 thousand or 5.6% as the variable rate on these notes have repriced to a higher interest rate in the comparable periods.

The net interest margin (TE) increased one basis point to 3.79% during the second quarter of 2007 compared to 3.78% in the same quarter of 2006.  The higher margin is attributed to a four basis point increase in the impact of noninterest bearing sources of funds partially offset by a three basis point decrease in net interest spread between the rates earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities to 3.35% from 3.38%. The impact of noninterest bearing sources of funds on net interest margin typically increases as the cost of funds rise.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $6.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.1 million or 22.4% compared to the same period a year earlier.  Noninterest income represents 17.6% of total revenue for the current period, a decrease of 108 basis points from 18.7% for the same period in 2006.

Service charges and fees on deposits were $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2007, an increase of $808 thousand or 36.3% in the quarterly comparison. The primary factor driving the increase in service charges and fees on deposits was a $410 thousand increase in account fees related to the Company’s allotment line of business, which is up during the current quarter as a result of the acquisition of the Military Allotment operations of PNC Bank in the first quarter of 2007. Overdraft charges were also up $235 thousand in the current quarter compared to a year ago and are attributed to additional fees of $289 thousand from the Citizens Bank acquisition. Allotment processing fees were $1.2 million, up $529 thousand or 82.8% boosted by the acquisition of the Military Allotment operation in the current year. Trust income was $485 thousand in the current quarter, an increase of $19 thousand or 4.1%. There was no net gain or loss on the sale of securities in the current period compared to a net loss on the sale of securities of $195 thousand during the same period a year ago.

The Company experienced declines in the following noninterest income categories in the current quarter compared to a year earlier: non-deposit service charges, commissions, and fees of $22 thousand or 3.4%; data processing fees of $152 thousand or 33.1%; gains on sale of loans of $14 thousand or 7.4%; income from company-owned life insurance of $3 thousand or .9%; and net all other noninterest income of $243 thousand.

The decrease in data processing fees are attributed to the acquisition of Citizens Bank and the sale of KBC, both of which were customers of the Company’s data processing subsidiary. Data processing income from KBC was not eliminated in consolidation once classified as discontinued operations, effectively increasing data processing income during the second quarter of 2007 by $90 thousand. There was no data processing fees recognized from KBC during the second quarter of 2007 since it was sold during 2006. Additionally, Citizens Bank was a separate independent company until the Company purchased it during the fourth quarter of 2006. Approximately $50

17


thousand was included in data processing fees during the second quarter of 2006 that are not included in the current period since inter-company amounts are eliminated during consolidation.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expenses were $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.9 million or 15.1% compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2006.  The increase in noninterest expenses occurred across a broad range of line items. A significant factor contributing to the higher expenses is the Citizens Bank acquisition during fourth quarter of 2006. The largest increases in noninterest expenses are attributed to higher salaries and employee benefits of $1.0 million or 15.8%, amortization of intangible assets of $401 thousand or 89.7%, and increases in other expenses attributed to the acquisition of Citizens Bank.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits resulted from the addition of 51 average full time equivalent employees, of which 42 are attributed to the Citizens Bank acquisition, and normal salary increases for existing employees. Salaries and related payroll taxes increased $909 thousand or 17.3%, with Citizens Bank accounting for $461 thousand of the increase. Benefit expenses were up $151 thousand or 11.7% in the comparison, with Citizens Bank accounting for $88 thousand of the increase. The acquisition of the Military Allotment operations of PNC Bank during the first quarter of 2007 contributed $54 thousand to the increase in salaries and employee benefits.

Intangible asset amortization was $401 thousand higher in the current quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago and is due to the increase in customer list and core deposit intangible assets from the acquisitions of Citizens Bank and the Military Allotment operations of PNC Bank. The $188 thousand or 22.5% increase in net occupancy expense is attributed primarily to the Citizens Bank acquisition and expansion efforts, mainly in our Northern Kentucky market. Data processing expenses decreased $158 thousand or 12.1% in the quarterly comparison primarily as a result of the acquisition of Citizens Bank of Northern Kentucky (“Citizens Northern”) in late 2005. Up until the early part of the fourth quarter of 2006, Citizen Northern used the services of an unrelated third party vendor to meet its data processing needs. During the fourth quarter of 2006, Citizens Northern began to use the Company’s data processing subsidiary; as such, fees paid to the unrelated third party vendor during 2006 are recognized as an expense prior to the change in processing companies. Subsequent to the change, the fees paid to the Company’s data processing subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation. All other noninterest expenses were up a net of $404 thousand or 12.4% across a wide range of line items is mainly attributed to the Citizens Bank acquisition.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $1.4 million, an increase of $439 thousand or 45.4% compared to the same period a year earlier.  The effective federal income tax rate increased 229 basis points to 22.3% from 20.0% in the comparison. The change in the effective tax rate is due to the increase in the mix of taxable revenues compared to nontaxable revenues.

Income From Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations was zero for the current three-month period and $428 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. There were no discontinued operations in the current-year period presented since all discontinued operations were disposed of during the fourth quarter of 2006.

 
First Six Months of 2007 Compared to First Six Months of 2006

The Company reported income from continuing operations of $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.7 million or 21.0% compared to $7.9 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Basic and diluted income per share from continuing operations was $1.21 for the current six months, an increase of $.14 or 13.1% (basic) and $.15 or 14.2% (diluted) compared to their respective amounts of $1.07 and $1.06 a year earlier.

18


Net income was $9.5 million for the current six-months, an increase of $825 thousand or 9.5% compared to $8.7 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  Basic and diluted net income per share was $1.21 for the current six months, an increase of $.03 or 2.5% (basic) and $.04 or 3.4% (diluted) compared to $1.18 and $1.17 a year earlier.

While net income in dollar terms increased 9.5% in the six-month comparison, net income on a per share diluted basis increased by a lower amount of 3.4%.  The increase in net income on a per share basis is lower due to the effect of an additional 464 thousand shares issued in connection with the acquisition of Citizens Bank. The operating results related to Citizens Bank, acquired on October 1, 2006, generally increased reported income and expense line items in the current six-month period compared to a year ago since there are no operating results attributed to Citizens Bank in the comparable period a year ago.  Net loans and deposits acquired from Citizens Bank on the date of purchase were $120 million and $139 million, respectively.

The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is primarily related to an increase in net interest income that was led by the Citizens Bank acquisition. Net interest income was $28.9 million in the current six-month period ended June 30, 2007. This represents an increase of $4.4 million or 17.9% compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in net interest income is primarily due to higher interest on loans of $11.4 million or 32.1%, partially offset by $8.1 million or 57.6% higher interest expense on deposits. The Citizens Bank acquisition accounted for $2.8 million of the increase in net interest income in the six-month period, including $4.7 million higher interest from loans partially offset by $2.5 million higher interest expense on deposits.

For the current six-month period, the Company recorded a negative loan loss provision of $166 thousand compared to a negative loan loss provision of $81 thousand a year earlier.  The Company’s nonperforming loans and net charge-offs are up in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2007, although still at relatively low levels. In addition, at June 30, 2007 loans, net of unearned income, are up $48.6 million and $73.3 million compared to March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans outstanding were .095% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, relatively unchanged from 0.105% at year-end 2006. As a percentage of net loans outstanding, the allowance for loan losses was .89% as of June 30, 2007 compared to .92% and 1.0% at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Noninterest income was $11.8 million in the current six-month period, an increase of $1.7 million or 17.2% in the comparable period of a year earlier. The increase in noninterest income was driven by the previously mentioned Citizens Bank acquisition and the acquisition of the Military Allotment operation of PNC Bank, National Association that occurred during January, 2007. The Citizens Bank acquisition accounted for an additional $773 thousand of noninterest income during the current six-month period; the Military Allotment acquisition accounted for an additional $1.7 million of noninterest income during the current six-month period. The increase in fee income from these acquisitions offset revenue declines experienced in other line items from previously existing operations.

Noninterest expenses increased $3.7 million or 14.9% for the current six-month period compared to the same period a year earlier. The increase in noninterest expenses is due mainly to higher personnel costs and intangible amortization. Salaries and employee benefits were up $1.7 million or 12.4% in the six-month comparison, as the average number of full time equivalent employees rose to 584 from 530 in the comparison. Amortization of intangibles increased $773 thousand or 86.6% and is attributed to the additional customer list and core deposit intangible assets resulting from the Citizens Bank and Military Allotment acquisitions. Combined other noninterest expenses had a net increase of $1.3 million or 11.9% comparison and occurred across a broad range of categories.  These increases are generally attributed to the Company’s recent acquisitions. The effective income tax rate increased to 22.2% for the current six-month period compared to 19.3% a year earlier.

ROA was 1.04% for the current six-month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 1 basis point compared to 1.03% reported for the same period of 2006.  ROE was 10.71% for the current six months of 2007, an increase of 43 basis points compared to 10.28% for the same period of 2006.  The increase in ROE is attributed to a combination of the slightly higher ROA and a 32 basis point increase in financial leverage to 10.3% from 10.0%.  Financial leverage represents the degree in which borrowed funds, as opposed to equity, are used in the funding of assets.

19


Income from discontinued operations was zero in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 and $830 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006. There were no discontinued operations in the current-year periods presented since all discontinued operations were disposed of during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. Net interest income is the excess of the interest income earned on earning assets over the interest paid for funds to support those assets. The two most common metrics used to analyze net interest income are net interest spread and net interest margin.  Net interest spread represents the difference between the yields on earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.  Net interest margin represents the percentage of net interest income to average earning assets.  Net interest margin will exceed net interest spread because of the existence of noninterest bearing sources of funds, principally demand deposits and shareholders’ equity, which are also available to fund earning assets.  Changes in net interest income and margin result from the interaction between the volume and the composition of earning assets, their related yields, and the associated cost and composition of the interest bearing liabilities. Accordingly, portfolio size, composition, and the related yields earned and the average rates paid can have a significant impact on net interest spread and margin. The tables that follow this discussion represent the major components of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities on a tax equivalent basis.  To compare the tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, amounts are adjusted to pretax equivalents based on the marginal corporate Federal tax rate of 35%.

The Company’s tax equivalent yield on earning assets for the current six months was 7.1%, an increase of 55 basis points from 6.5% in the same period a year ago.  The cost of funds for the current six months was 3.8%, an increase of 69 basis points compared to 3.1% in the same period a year earlier.  A goal of the Company in the current interest rate environment is to increase earning assets while maintaining the current relatively low interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.  The Company strives to accomplish this goal while providing excellent service, offering competitive rates to its customers, and maintaining its core deposit base.  Maintaining the relatively low cost of funds is becoming increasingly difficult due to the current economic environment and competitive market forces.  Average earning assets were $1.6 billion for the current six months, an increase of $279 million or 20.7% compared to $1.3 billion a year ago. As a percentage of total average assets, earning assets were 88.2% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, up 801 basis points from 80.1% a year earlier.  The higher earning asset ratio positively impacted ROA by 4 basis points in the six-month comparison.

Interest income results from interest earned on earning assets, which primarily include loans and investment securities. Interest income is affected by the volume (average balance), composition of earning assets, and the related rates earned on those assets. Total interest income for the first six months of 2007 was $55.9 million, an increase of $13.4 million or 31.4% compared to the same period in the previous year. The growth in interest income was mainly attributed to higher interest income on loans of $11.4 million or 32.1%.  Interest income on loans increased as a result of higher average loan balances outstanding resulting from the Citizens Bank acquisition, higher internally generated loan growth, and a 50 basis point increase in the average rate earned on loans.  The Citizens Bank acquisition accounted for $4.7 million of the increase in interest income on loans.

Interest and fees on loans was $46.8 million, an increase of $11.4 million or 32.1% compared to a year earlier.  Average loans increased $238 million or 24.1% to $1.2 billion in the comparison due mainly to a $121 million higher average balance outstanding from the acquisition of Citizens Bank and higher loan demand.  Interest income on loans was also helped by a 50 basis point increase in the tax equivalent yield to 7.8% from 7.3% in the year-to-date comparison. Interest on taxable securities was $5.5 million, an increase of $970 thousand or 21.3% due to a 74 basis point increase in the average rate earned to 4.9% along with a $6.3 million or 2.8% increase in average balances outstanding.  Interest on nontaxable securities declined $162 thousand or 8.7% to $1.7 million due mainly to a 55 basis point drop in the average rate and, to a lesser extent, a $3.2 million decline in the average balance. Interest on short-term investments, including time deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, increased $1.2 million or 160% to $1.9 million due mainly to a $37.2 million or 84.6% increase in the average balance outstanding. A 140 basis point increase in the average rate earned to 4.8% from 3.4% also contributed to the increase in interest earned. The increase in the average rate earned on short-term investments is mainly attributed to higher federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, which are temporary investments generally having interest rates that fluctuate more closely with overall short-term market interest rates and have increased in the period to period comparison.

Interest expense results from incurring interest on interest bearing liabilities, which primarily include interest bearing deposits, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and other borrowed funds. Interest expense is affected by volume, composition of interest bearing liabilities, and the related rates paid on those liabilities. Total interest expense was $27.0 million for current six months, an increase of $9.0 million or 49.9% from the same period in the prior year.  Interest expense increased mainly as a result of higher interest expense on deposits of $8.1 million or 57.6% and was mainly driven by additional volume of $230 million or 22.7%. Interest expense on deposits increased as a result of higher deposit balances outstanding from the Citizens Bank acquisition, higher deposits generated internally, and higher rates paid on interest bearing deposits throughout the entire deposit portfolio.  The Citizens Bank acquisition accounted for an additional $117 million in average interest bearing deposits outstanding. The Company’s cost of funds was 3.8% for the first six months of 2007, an increase of 69 basis points from 3.1% for the same period of the prior year.  The percentage increase in cost of funds was led by a 95 basis point increase in time deposits.

Interest expense on time deposits, the largest component of total interest expense, increased $7.2 million or 70.4% to $17.5 million. The increase is due to both a $197 million or 36.6% increase in volume combined with a 95 basis point increase in the average rate paid to 4.8% from 3.8%.  The increase in average time deposits outstanding in the comparable periods was boosted by an additional $69.5 million of time deposits related to the Citizens Bank acquisition along with additional time deposits generated internally in order to fund higher loan growth. The increase in the average rate paid is due to competitive market conditions, the need to attract additional deposits to support asset growth, and the relocation or opening of branch sites in existing or new markets.

Interest expense on interest bearing demand deposits in the first six months of 2007 was $2.0 million, up $105 thousand or 5.7% compared to $1.8 million a year ago. The increase was driven by a 10 basis point increase in the average rate paid, which offset a decline in volume of $3.1 million or 1.2%. Interest expense on savings deposits was $2.8 million, an increase of $799 thousand or 40.2% from $2.0 million a year earlier. The higher interest expense on savings deposits is due to increases in both rate and volume. The average rate jumped 37 basis points to 2.3% and the average volume grew $36.1 million or 17.2% to $245 million. Average volume of savings deposits were up due to the Citizens Bank acquisition, which added $40.0 million in average savings deposits in the current six-month period with an average rate paid of 3.8%.  Excluding the additional savings deposits attributed to the Citizens Bank acquisition, average savings deposits for the Company declined $4.0 million or 1.9%.

Interest expense on federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $308 thousand or 15.4% due to a $14.8 million or 17.6% increase in the average balance outstanding partially due to additional correspondent banking activity.  Interest expense on other borrowed funds consists primarily of FHLB borrowings and subordinated notes payable to unconsolidated trusts.  Interest expense on other borrowed funds was $2.5 million, an increase of $546 thousand or 28.5% and is due mainly to an increase in interest expense related to higher FHLB average borrowings outstanding. Interest expense on the Company’s subordinated notes payable increased $78 thousand or 9.5% as the variable rate on these notes have repriced to a higher interest rate in the comparable periods.

The net interest margin (TE) decreased 10 basis points to 3.73% during the first six months of 2007 compared to 3.83% for the same period of 2006.  The lower margin is attributed to a 14 basis point decrease to 3.29% from 3.43% in the net interest spread between the rates earned on earning assets and the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities partially offset by the impact of noninterest bearing sources of funds of four basis points. The impact of noninterest bearing sources of funds on net interest margin typically increases as the cost of funds rise.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $11.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.7 million or 17.2% compared to the same period a year earlier.  Noninterest income represents 17.4% of total revenue for the current period, a decrease of 171 basis points from 19.1% for the same period in 2006.

Service charges and fees on deposits were $5.9 million in the first six months of 2007, an increase of $1.6 million or 36.3% in the comparison. The primary factor driving the increase in service charges and fees on deposits was an $873 thousand increase in account fees related to the Company’s allotment line of business, which is up in the current six months as a result of the acquisition of the Military Allotment operations of PNC Bank during the first quarter of 2007. Overdraft charges were also up $387 thousand in the six-month period compared to a year ago and are attributed to additional fees of $548 thousand from the Citizens Bank acquisition, which offset declines from our previously existing banks. Allotment processing fees were $2.1 million, up $789 thousand or 59.1% that was positively impacted by the acquisition of the Military Allotment operation in the current year. Trust income was $973 thousand in the current period, an increase of $55 thousand or 6.0%. There was no net gain or loss on the sale of securities in the current period compared to a net loss on the sale of securities of $195 thousand during the same period a year ago.

The Company experienced declines in the following noninterest income categories in the current six months compared to a year earlier: non-deposit service charges, commissions, and fees of $94 thousand or 7.0%, data processing fees of $300 thousand or 33.9%, gains on sale of loans of $76 thousand or 20.7%, income from company-owned life insurance of $15 thousand or 2.2%, and net all other noninterest income of $395 thousand.

The decrease in data processing fees are attributed to the acquisition of Citizens Bank and the sale of KBC, both of which were customers of the Company’s data processing subsidiary. Data processing income from KBC was not eliminated in consolidation once classified as discontinued operations, effectively increasing data processing income during the second quarter of 2007 by $186 thousand. There was no data processing fees recognized from KBC during the second quarter of 2007 since it was sold during 2006. Additionally, Citizens Bank was a separate independent company until the Company purchased it during the fourth quarter of 2006. Approximately $100

23


thousand was included in data processing fees during the second quarter of 2006 that are not included in the current period since inter-company amounts are eliminated during consolidation.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expenses were $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $3.7 million or 14.9% compared to $24.9 million for the same period in 2006.  The increase in noninterest expenses occurred across a broad range of line items. The acquisition of Citizens Bank during the fourth quarter of 2006 is a significant factor contributing to the higher expenses. The largest increases in noninterest expenses are attributed to higher salaries and employee benefits of $1.7 million or 12.4%, amortization of intangible assets of $773 thousand or 86.6%, and increases in other expenses attributed to the acquisition of Citizens Bank.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits resulted from the addition of 54 average full time equivalent employees, 40 of which are attributed to the Citizens Bank acquisition, and normal salary increases for existing employees. Salaries and related payroll taxes increased $1.9 million or 18.6%, with Citizens Bank accounting for $939 thousand of the increase. Benefit expenses declined $237 thousand or 8.1% in the comparison due to lower costs associated with the Company’s self-funded health insurance plan and higher costs in the prior year attributed to the acquisition of Citizens Northern. The acquisition of the Military Allotment operations of PNC Bank during the first six months of 2007 contributed $92 thousand to the increase in salaries and employee benefits in the six-month comparison.

Intangible asset amortization was $1.7 million; $773 thousand higher in the current six-month period compared to the same period a year ago and is due to the increase in customer list and core deposit intangible assets from the acquisitions of Citizens Bank and the Military Allotment operations of PNC Bank. The $326 thousand or 18.5% increase in net occupancy expense is attributed primarily to the Citizens Bank acquisition and expansion efforts, mainly in our Northern Kentucky market. Data processing expenses decreased $158 thousand or 6.4% in the comparison primarily as a result of the acquisition of Citizens Northern in late 2005. Up until the early part of the fourth quarter of 2006, Citizen Northern used the services of an unrelated third party vendor to meet its data processing needs. During the fourth quarter of 2006, Citizens Northern began to use the Company’s data processing subsidiary; as such, fees paid to the unrelated third party vendor during 2006 are recognized as an expense prior to the change in processing companies. Subsequent to the change, the fees paid to the Company’s data processing subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation. All other noninterest expenses were up a net of $1.1 million or 17.2% across a wide range of line items is mainly attributed to the Citizens Bank acquisition.

 Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.7 million, an increase of $839 thousand or 44.7% compared to the same period a year earlier.  The effective federal income tax rate was 22.2%, an increase of 293 basis points compared to 19.3% in the comparison. The change in the effective tax rate is due to the increase in the mix of taxable revenues compared to nontaxable revenues.

Income From Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations was zero in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 and $830 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2006. There were no discontinued operations in the current-year periods presented since all discontinued operations were disposed of during the fourth quarter of 2006.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $1.8 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $23.9 million or 1.3% from the prior year-end.  The most significant changes in the Company’s assets from year-end were as follows: an increase in net loans of $74.0 million or 6.2%; an increase of $11.1 million or 21.1% in goodwill and other intangible assets; a decrease of $42.3 million or 27.0% in cash and cash equivalents; and a decrease in investment securities of $23.3 million or 7.0%.  The changes within the asset groups correlate to the overall funding position of the Company and the purchase of the Military Allotment operation of PNC Bank during the current six-month period.

Cash and cash equivalents were negatively impacted by $32.3 million lower end of period deposits outstanding from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The increase in net loans outstanding is reflective of continued strong loan demand and corresponds to the decrease in investment securities and higher federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Shareholders’ equity increased $2.5 million or 1.4% since year-end 2006.

Management of the Company considers it noteworthy to understand the relationship between the Company’s principal subsidiary, Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co., and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Farmers Bank provides various services to state agencies of the Commonwealth.  As the depository for the Commonwealth, checks are drawn on Farmers Bank by these agencies, which include paychecks and state income tax refunds.  Farmers Bank also processes vouchers of the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program for the Cabinet for Human Resources. The Bank’s investment department also provides services to the Teacher’s Retirement systems. As the depository for the Commonwealth, large fluctuations in deposits are likely to occur on a daily basis.  Therefore, reviewing average balances is important to understanding the financial condition of the Company.

On an average basis, total assets were $1.8 billion for the first six months of 2007, an increase of $113 million or 6.5% from year-end 2006 driven by an additional $128 million in connection with the Citizens Bank purchase during the fourth quarter of 2006.  Average earning assets, primarily loans and securities, were $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $210 million or 14.8% from year-end 2006.  Average earning assets represent 88.2% of total average assets on June 30, 2007, a decrease of 2 basis points compared to 88.4% at year-end 2006.

Loans

Loans, net of unearned income, totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 2007, an increase of $73.3 million or 6.1% from year-end 2006 as loan demand remains strong.  The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized in the table below.

On average, loans represented 75.4% of earning assets during the current six month period, an increase of 126 basis points compared to 74.2% for year-end 2006. As loan demand fluctuates, the available funds are reallocated between loans and temporary investments or investment securities, which typically involve a decrease in credit risk and lower yields.


25


Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets for the Company include nonperforming loans, other real estate owned, and other foreclosed assets. Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and loans past due ninety days or more on which interest is still accruing.  Nonperforming assets totaled $10.6 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $1.2 million or 12.6% from the prior year-end.  Nonperforming loans were $5.8 million at June 30, 2007, a $1.5 million or 34.3% increase compared to year-end 2006.  The increase in nonperforming loans is attributed to higher loans past due 90 days or more of $723 thousand and higher nonaccrual loans of $756 thousand. Nonperforming loans represent .5% of loans net of unearned income at June 30, 2007, an increase of 10 basis points from .4% compared to year-end 2006.

Other real estate owned was $4.7 million at June 30, 2007.  This represents a decrease of $288 thousand or 5.7% compared to $5.0 million at year-end 2006.  The decline in other real estate balances is primarily attributed to the sale of previously foreclosed real estate of a commercial credit.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses was $11.3 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $747 thousand or 6.2% from the prior year-end amount of $12.0 million. The provision for loan losses increased $377 thousand in the current three-month comparison and decreased $85 thousand in the six-month comparison. The Company’s nonperforming loans and net charge-offs are up in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2007, although still at relatively low levels. In addition, at June 30, 2007 loans, net of unearned income, are up $48.6 million and $73.3 million compared to March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans outstanding were .10% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, unchanged from year-end 2006. As a percentage of net loans outstanding, the allowance for loan losses was .89% as of June 30, 2007, down from .92% at March 31, 2007 and 1.0% at December 31, 2006.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans totaled 194% and 278% at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.  The decline at the end of the current period compared to the prior year-end is attributed to a $1.5 million increase in nonperforming loans combined with a $747 thousand lower allowance for loan losses.  Other risk factors, particularly loans past due less than 90 days, decreased significantly at June 30, 2007 compared to the prior year-end and more than offset the rise in loans past due 90 days or more and the increase in nonaccrual loans. Management continues to emphasize collection efforts and evaluation of risks within the loan portfolio.

Temporary Investments

Temporary investments consist of interest bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell. The Company uses these funds in the management of liquidity and interest rate sensitivity. At June 30, 2007, temporary investments were $38.4 million, a decline of $2.8 million compared to $41.2 million at year-end 2006. Temporary investments averaged $81.2 million during the first six months of 2007, an increase of $18.8 million or 30.2% from year-end 2006. The increase is a result of the Company’s overall net funding position. Temporary investments are reallocated as loan demand and other investment alternatives present the opportunity.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio is comprised primarily of U.S. Government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and tax-exempt securities of states and political subdivisions. Total investment securities were $311 million on June 30, 2007, a decrease of $23.3 million or 7.0% from year-end 2006. The decrease in investment securities was mainly due to reinvesting the difference between proceeds received from sold or called investment securities and the purchase of investment securities into alternative assets such as loans or other temporary investments. Investment securities sold or called during the period was the result of normal asset and liability management practices.

Investment securities averaged $319 million in total for the current six months, an increase of $15.0 million or 4.9% compared to the year-end 2006 average balance. The Company had a net unrealized loss on available for sale investment securities of $4.5 million at June 30, 2007 compared to a net unrealized loss of $2.0 million at year-end 2006.  The $2.5 million increase during the six months ended June 30, 2007 is mainly attributed to a net decline in

the market value on available for sale investment securities. The decrease in the market value of available for sale investment securities is due primarily to the impact of changing economic conditions, including an increase in Treasury yields at June 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006, in particular those with maturities in excess of two years. As overall yields have increased, the portfolio has declined in value.  Market values of fixed rate investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. Unrealized losses on investment securities have not been included in income since they are considered interest rate related and identified as temporary.

Company-owned Life Insurance

Company-owned life insurance was $33.6 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $631 thousand or 1.9% from $32.9 million at year-end 2006. Income from company-owned life insurance was $668 thousand for the current six months.  This represents a decrease of $15 thousand or 2.2% in comparison to the same six-month period in 2006.  Income declined in the comparison due to lower crediting rates on the underlying investments.

Deposits

The Company’s primary source of funding for its lending and investment activities results from its customer deposits, which consist of noninterest and interest bearing demand, savings, and time deposits. On June 30, 2007 total deposits were $1.5 billion, a decrease of $3.6 million or .2% from year-end 2006.  Interest bearing deposits were up $22.8 million or 1.9% to $1.2 billion, which was offset by a $26.4 million or 10.9% decline in noninterest bearing deposits to $217 million. The decrease in end of period noninterest bearing deposits is due to lower balances from the Commonwealth of Kentucky of $32.3 million or 47.1%. Balances related to the Commonwealth of Kentucky can fluctuate significantly from day to day.

Average total deposits were $1.5 billion during the first six months of 2007, an increase of $204 million or 16.2% compared to average year-end 2006 balances. Net increases in average deposits were consistent throughout the deposit portfolio as follows:  noninterest bearing demand of $20.1 million or 10.3%, interest bearing demand of $2.2 million or .8%, savings accounts of $37.7 million or 17.7%, and time deposits of $149 million or 25.3%. The increase in average deposits outstanding is primarily attributed to the Citizens Bank acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2006. This acquisition contributed an additional $23.0 million and $122 million in average noninterest bearing and interest bearing deposits, respectively, during the first six months of 2007 compared to the year-end 2006 average balances.

Borrowed Funds

Borrowed funds totaled $192 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $27.3 million or 16.6% from $165 million at year-end 2006. The increase in borrowed funds is attributed to a $33.1 million increase in short-term federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Total borrowed funds averaged $194 million, an increase of $17.3 million or 9.7% from $177 million at year-end 2006. The increase in average borrowed funds from year-end 2006 was led by a higher average of FHLB borrowings outstanding of $12.5 million or 22.6%, most of which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2006.

LIQUIDITY

The Parent Company’s primary use of cash consists of dividend payments to its common shareholders, purchases of its common stock, corporate acquisitions, interest expense on borrowings, and other general operating purposes. Liquidity of the Parent Company depends primarily on the receipt of dividends from its subsidiary banks, cash balances maintained, and borrowings from nonaffiliated sources.  As of June 30, 2007 combined retained earnings of the subsidiary banks was $54.2 million, of which $15.1 million was available for the payment of dividends to the Parent Company without obtaining prior approval from bank regulatory agencies.  As a practical matter, payment of future dividends is also subject to the maintenance of other capital ratio requirements.  Management expects that in the aggregate, its subsidiary banks will continue to have the ability to pay dividends in order to provide funds to the Parent Company during the remainder of 2007 sufficient to meet its liquidity needs.  The Parent Company had cash balances of $6.5 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $4.6 million or 41.0% from $11.1 million at year-end 2006.  Significant cash flows during the current six months ended June 30, 2007 for the Parent Company include the following: receipt of dividends from its subsidiary banks in the amount of $13.9 million; additional capital injection of $8.0 million into one of its bank subsidiaries to facilitate the acquisition of

27


the Military Allotment operations of PNC Bank; payment of dividends to shareholders of $6.1 million; and the repurchase of the Company’s stock of $725 thousand.

The Company's objective as it relates to liquidity is to ensure that its subsidiary banks have funds available to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability.  In order to maintain a proper level of liquidity, the subsidiary banks have several sources of funds available on a daily basis that can be used for liquidity purposes.  Those sources of funds include the subsidiary banks' core deposits, consisting of both business and nonbusiness deposits, cash flow generated by repayment of principal and interest on loans and investment securities, FHLB borrowings, and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and investment securities are generally a predictable source of funds, deposit outflows and mortgage prepayments are influenced significantly by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition in our local markets.  As of June 30, 2007 the Company had approximately $209 million in additional borrowing capacity under various FHLB, federal funds, and other borrowing agreements.  However, there is no guarantee that these sources of funds will continue to be available to the Company, or that current borrowings can be refinanced upon maturity, although the Company is not aware of any events or uncertainties that are likely to cause a decrease in our liquidity from these sources. The Company also expects to receive a net $1.3 million in cash from its employees from the exercise of approximately 53 thousand remaining stock options from its 1997 grant that expire during the third quarter of 2007, assuming that all in-the-money stock options are exercised.

In July 2007, the Company announced a tender offer to purchase for cash up to 550 thousand shares of its outstanding common stock through a process commonly known as a modified “Dutch Auction”. Assuming the maximum number of shares of our common stock is tendered, the aggregate purchase price will be between $17.1 and $19.3 million. The Company anticipates receiving up to $25.0 million through a private offering of trust preferred securities to fund the purchase of the shares through the Dutch Auction. Any excess funds raised from the trust preferred securities transaction that remain available following the tender offer will be used for general corporate purposes.

For the longer term, the liquidity position is managed by balancing the maturity structure of the balance sheet.  This process allows for an orderly flow of funds over an extended period of time.  The Company’s Asset and Liability Management Committee, both at the bank subsidiary level and on a consolidated basis, meets regularly and monitors the composition of the balance sheet to ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk and liquidity.

Liquid assets consist of cash, cash equivalents, and securities available for sale.  At June 30, 2007, such consolidated assets were $419 million, a decrease of $64.3 million or 13.3% from year-end 2006.  The decrease in liquid assets is mainly attributed to a $39.5 million lower cash balance with an upstream correspondent bank and is related to the decline in Commonwealth of Kentucky deposit balances of $32.3 million. A decline of $22.0 million of available for sale investment securities also negatively impacted liquid assets and is the result of the overall funding position of the Company, which changes as loan demand, deposit levels, and other sources and uses of funds fluctuate.

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $6.6 million in the first six months of 2007, a decrease of $6.3 million compared to $12.9 million during the same six-month period a year earlier.  Net cash used in continuing investing activities was $55.4 million and $38.5 million in the current and previous-year six-month periods ended June 30, an increase of $16.9 million or 44.0%. The most significant items included in the $16.9 million higher net cash outflows from continuing investing activities in the comparison are negative variances of $25.2 million related to investment securities and $11.9 million related to increased loan activity, offset by the $21.8 million cash payment for the purchase of Citizens Northern that occurred during the first quarter of 2006 in which there is no comparable amount in the current period. Net cash provided by continuing financing activities was $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $11.2 million compared to $17.6 million for the same period a year earlier.  This decrease is related mainly to lower net inflows in the comparable periods from the following: $5.7 million related to deposit outflow activity, $14.3 million from increased other borrowings, $1.4 million in additional dividends, partially offset by $10.3 million from higher federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Commitments to extend credit are considered in addressing the Company’s liquidity management.  The Company does not expect these commitments to significantly effect the liquidity position in future periods.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders’ equity was $181 million on June 30, 2007, an increase of $2.5 million or 1.4% from $178 million at December 31, 2006.  Retained earnings were up $4.3 million or 2.6% as a result of $9.5 million of net income partially offset by $5.2 million or $.66 per share in cash dividends declared. Other significant changes to shareholders’ equity include the purchase of 24 thousand shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock that reduced shareholders’ equity by $725 thousand along with a net decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income that lowered equity by $1.5 million. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income is mainly attributed to a net decline in the market value on available for sale investment securities of $1.6 million, net of tax. The decrease in the market value of available for sale investment securities is due primarily to the impact of changing economic conditions, including an increase in Treasury yields at June 30, 2007 compared to December 31, 2006, in particular those with maturities in excess of two years. As overall yields have increased, the portfolio has declined in value.  Market values of fixed rate investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. The remaining $129 thousand increase in accumulated other comprehensive income is attributed to the change in the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit postretirement health insurance plans.

Consistent with the objective of operating a sound financial organization, the Company’s goal is to maintain capital ratios well above the regulatory minimum requirements.  The Company's capital ratios as of June 30, 2007, the regulatory minimums, and the regulatory standard for a well-capitalized institution are as follows.
 

             
   
Farmers Capital
Bank Corporation
   
Regulatory
Minimum
 
 Tier 1 risk based     11.12 %     4.00 %
                 
 Total risk based     11.96 %     8.00 %
                 
 Leverage     8.22 %     4.00 %
 
As of June 30, 2007, all of the Company’s subsidiary banks were in excess of the well-capitalized regulatory ratio requirements as calculated under guidelines established by federal banking agencies.


The Company uses a simulation model as a tool to monitor and evaluate interest rate risk exposure.  The model is designed to measure the sensitivity of net interest income and net income to changing interest rates over future time periods.  Forecasting net interest income and its sensitivity to changes in interest rates requires the Company to make assumptions about the volume and characteristics of many attributes, including assumptions relating to the replacement of maturing earning assets and liabilities.  Other assumptions include, but are not limited to, projected prepayments, projected new volume, and the predicted relationship between changes in market interest rates and changes in customer account balances.  These effects are combined with the Company’s estimate of the most likely rate environment to produce a forecast of net interest income and net income.  The forecasted results are then adjusted for the effect of a gradual increase and decrease in market interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and net income.  Because assumptions are inherently uncertain, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or net income or the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net income.  Actual results could differ significantly from simulated results.

At June 30, 2007, the model indicated that if rates were to gradually increase by 150 basis points during the remainder of the calendar year, then net interest income and net income would increase .69% and 1.49%, respectively for the year ending December 31, 2007.  The model indicated that if rates were to gradually decrease by 150 basis points over the same period, then net interest income and net income would decrease .52% and 1.15%, respectively.

In the current interest rate environment, it is not practical or possible to reduce certain deposit rates by the same magnitude as rates on earning assets.  The average rate paid on some of the Company’s deposits, primarily certain savings and interest bearing checking accounts, remains at or below 1.5%.  This situation magnifies the model’s predicted results when modeling a decrease in interest rates, as earning assets with higher yields have more of an opportunity to reprice at lower rates than lower-rate deposits.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed in this report has been made known to them in a timely fashion.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Company completed an internal review and evaluation of its processes in order to better ensure proper financial reporting of non-routine changes and complex changes. In connection with this review and evaluation, the Company has done the following:

 
·
Revised our procedures related to internal control over financial reporting with respect to any complex or non-routine change (including changes in compensation policies) to require the Chief Financial Officer or other senior financial reporting employee to document in writing the results of their evaluation of potential accounting changes and financial reporting changes that would occur from such complex or non-routine change.

 
·
Implemented a monitoring system for the differences between drafts and final documentation relating to complex or non-routine changes to evaluate whether the accounting and financial reporting requirements have changed.

 
·
Increased communication by and among our senior management and financial reporting employees and other third parties relevant to the disclosure process.

 
·
Retained our procedures of ensuring that our Chief Financial Officer be made aware of and involved in any complex or non-routine contemplated change so that any potential tax, accounting and financial reporting issues may be evaluated.

 
·
Retained our procedure of encouraging our Chief Financial Officer and other senior financial reporting employees to contact outside financial experts and consultants, if deemed advisable, to discuss potential tax, accounting and/or financial reporting issues regarding a complex or non-routine contemplated change.


As a result of taking the above actions, Management of the Company has concluded that it has remediated the significant deficiency described in Item 9A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

There were no other significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officers evaluation, nor were there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the controls which required corrective action.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


As of June 30, 2007, there were various pending legal actions and proceedings against the Company arising from the normal course of business and in which claims for damages are asserted.  Management, after discussion with legal counsel, believes that these actions are without merit and that the ultimate liability resulting from these legal actions and proceedings, if any, will not have a material effect upon the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
