Kentucky. During 1994, FCB Services began performing data processing
services for nonaffiliated banks.
Farmers Insurance was organized in 1988 to engage in insurance activities
permitted to the Registrant by federal and state law. This corporation has

Supervision and Regulation
The Registrant, as a registered bank holding company, is restricted to those
activities permissible under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, and is subject to actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System thereunder. It is required to file various reports with the
Federal Reserve Board, and is subject to examination by the Board.
The Registrant's state bank subsidiaries are subject to state banking law and
to regulation and periodic examinations by the Kentucky Department of
Financial Institutions. Lawrenceburg Bank, a national bank, is subject to
similar regulation and supervision by the Comptroller of the Currency under
the National Bank Act and the Federal Reserve System under the Federal
Reserve Act.
Deposits of the Registrant's subsidiary banks are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Bank Insurance Fund, which subjects the banks
to regulation and examination under the provisions of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act.
The operations of the Registrant and its subsidiary banks also are affected
by other banking legislation and policies and practices of various regulatory
authorities. Such legislation and policies include statutory maximum rates
on some loans, reserve requirements, domestic monetary and fiscal policy, and
limitations on the kinds of services which may be offered.
Competition
The Corporation and its subsidiaries compete for banking business with
various types of businesses other than commercial banks and savings and loan
associations. These include, but are not limited to, credit unions, mortgage
lenders, finance companies, insurance companies, stock and bond brokers,
financial planning firms, and department stores which compete for one or more
lines of banking business. The banks also compete for commerciasl and retail
business not only with banks in Central Kentucky, but with banking
organizations from Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and Pennsylvania which have
banking subsidiaries located in Kentucky and may possess greater resources
than the Corporation.
The primary areas of competition pertain to quality of services, interest
rates and fees.
The business of the Registrant is not dependent upon any one customer or on a
few customers, and the loss of any one or a few customers would not have a
materially adverse effect on the Registrant.
No material portion of the business of the Registrant is seasonal. No
material portion of the business of the Registrant is subject to
renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the
election of the government, though certain contracts are subject to such
renegotiation or termination.
The Registrant is not engaged in operations in foreign countries.
Employees
As of December 31, 1994, the Registrant and its subsidiaries had 492
full-time equivalent employees. Employees are provided with a variety of
employee benefits. A retirement plan, a profit-sharing (401K) plan, group
life insurance, hospitalization, dental and major medical insurance are
available to eligible personnel.
Item 2 - Properties
All of the Registrant's properties are owned or leased by the Banks or their
subsidiaries. Farmers Bank and its subsidiary, Realty, currently own or
lease nine buildings. Farmers Bank operates five branches, two of which it
owns and three of which it leases. United Bank owns its two branch offices
and approximately 52% of a condominiumized building which houses its main
office. Lawrenceburg Bank owns its main office and its branch. First Citizens
Bank owns its main office and two of its four branches. The other two branch
locations of First Citizens Bank are leased facilities, one of which being
located in a grocery store. Farmers Georgetown Bank owns its main office,
another branch in downtown Georgetown and one in Stamping Ground, Kentucky.
Farmers Georgetown Bank's third branch is located in a leased facility.
Horse Cave Bank owns the building where it is headquartered. In the first
quarter of 1991, Horse Cave Bank opened a branch in leased facilities in
Munfordville, Kentucky.
Money One operates out of fourteen leased offices in fourteen cities within
Kentucky.
Item 3 - Legal Proceedings
Farmers Bank was named, on September 10, 1992, as a defendant in Case No.
92CI05734 in Jefferson Circuit Court, Louisville, Kentucky, Earl H. Shilling
et al. v. Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company. The named plaintiffs
purported to represent a class consisting of all present and former owners of
the County of Jefferson, Kentucky Nursing Home Refunding Revenue Bonds
(Filson Care Home Project) Series 1986A (the "Series A Bonds") and County of
Jefferson, Kentucky Nursing Home Improvement Bonds (Filson Care Home Project)
Series 1986B (the "Series B Bonds") (collectively the "Bonds"). The
plaintiffs alleged that the class which they purported to represent has been
damaged in the approximate amount of $2,000,000 through the reduction in
value of the Bonds and the collateral security therefore, and through the
loss of interest on the Bonds since June 1, 1989, as a result of alleged
negligence, breach of trust, and breach of fiduciary duty on the part of
Farmers Bank in its capacity as indenture trustee for the Bonds. A subsequent
amendment to the complaint further alleges that Farmers Bank conspired with
and aided and abetted the former management of the Filson Care Home in its
misappropriation of the nursing home's revenues and assets to the detriment of
the Bondholders and in order to unlawfully secure and benefit Farmers Bank.
The amendment seeks unspecified punitive damages against Farmers Bank. On
July 6, 1993, the Circuit Court denied the plaintiff's motion to certify the
case as a class action on behalf of all present and former owners of the
Bonds. Under that ruling, the action may be maintained only with respect to
the individual claims of the named plaintiffs and any other Bondholders whom
the court might allow to join in the action with respect to their own
individual claims. Since the denial of class certifications, the complaint
has been amended twice to join additional Bondholders as plaintiffs. The 42
existing plaintiffs claim to hold Bonds having an aggregate face value of
$470,000. The case is presently in the process of discovery. Farmers Bank
believes that the claims of the plaintiffs are unfounded and totally without
merit, and Farmers Bank intends to vigorously contest any further proceedings
in the case.
Two of the original named plaintiffs in the case before the Circuit Court
filed a similar action, Earl H. Schilling et al v. Farmers Bank & Capital
Trust Company, on July 7, 1992 in the United State District Court for the
Western District of Kentucky at Louisville, Case No. C-920399 L-M. That
action has been dismissed without prejudice on the grounds that the
plaintiffs did not appear to be able to establish federal jurisdiction.
First Citizens Bank, is defending certain counterclaims arising from an
action it filed July 17, 1989 against Owen Produce, Inc., Charles E. Owen and
Carol Ann Owen, which alleged default on two notes executed by Owen Produce.
Charles E. Owen and Carol Ann Owen were personal guarantors on those notes
which were also secured by property of Owen Produce, Inc. and the personal
residence of the Owens. Owen Produce filed for bankruptcy in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Kentucky. Counterclaims
in the nature of lender liability claims were asserted by Owen Produce as well
as Charles E. Owen and Carol Ann Owen, personally. During the bankruptcy
proceeding a settlement was reached with the bankruptcy trustee which
resulted in a dismissal of the lender liability counterclaims of Owen Produce
against First Citizens Bank.
The litigation has had significant activity in 1993 and 1994 in the area of
discovery and trial preparation. Pretrial discovery deposition of witnesses
are complete. The case is scheduled for trial in July 1995.
The lender liability of Charles E. Owen is based primarily on an allegation
of breach of duty of good faith and is for Owen's loss of employment and loss
of future business income as well as a claim for the tort of outrage under
Kentucky law. Mr. Owen has not been able to state with any certainty the
amount which he is claiming on his counterclaim.
The claim of Carol Ann Owen is based primarily on the breach of promise to
release her and her real estate from the indebtedness and mortgage to First
Citizens Bank. Based upon her testimony she is seeking compensatory damages
in the approximate amount of $60,000 but is also seeking punitive damage in a
sum which she is unable to articulate. In her testimony she has stated that
no one at First Citizens Bank told her that she would be released.
There does not presently appear to be any reasonable prospect of settling the
claims and it appears likely that the action will go to trial. First
Citizens Bank intends to vigorously defend against the claims.
The Registrant's Georgetown, Kentucky affiliate, Farmers Georgetown Bank and
their Executive Vice President, have been named defendants in a civil action
brought on August 1, 1994 by a loan customer of the Bank in which the
customer alleges (1) fraud, (2) breach of good faith and fair dealing,
(3) disclosure of false credit information and (4) outrageous conduct. The
amount in controversy for the first three counts is unspecified. The amounts
sought as punitive damages for outrageous conduct is $10,000,000.
The conduct complained about in counts one and two involves former officers
of Farmers Georgetown Bank and Farmers Georgetown Bank, at this time,
lacks sufficient knowledge to accurately assess its potential liability, if
any, but has reason to believe that the allegations are not true. Farmers
Georgetown Bank believes there is no merit to the allegations contained in
counts three and four and intends to vigorously defend all claims.
Management believes the previously mentioned actions are without merit, that
in certain instances its actions or omissions were pursuant to the advice of
counsel, or that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from them will not
materially affect the Registrant's consolidated financial position, although
resolution in any year or quarter could be material for that period.
Item 4 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Significant Events
During the second quarter of 1994, the Company realized a nonrecurring
recovery of prior year losses. This recovery increased net income after
taxes by $503 thousand.
During 1991, First Citizens Bank, Hardin County (the "Bank"), a subsidiary of
the Company, filed a bond claim for $6.8 million with its bonding company to
recover losses incurred in 1990 resulting from an apparent scheme to defraud
the Bank. After exhaustive efforts to settle the claim with the bonding
company, the Bank initiated litigation during the first quarter of 1992
against the bonding company. During the third quarter of 1993, the Company
reached a settlement in the amount of $5.3 million ($3.5 million after tax)
which was accounted for as a loan loss recovery. Loan loss recoveries result
in an increase in the allowance for loan losses ("Allowance"). The Allowance
was subsequently adjusted to the amount necessary, as determined by
management, to offset possible future losses on total loans currently
outstanding. The adjustment resulted in a reduction in the provision for
loan losses to the extent that the provision for the year was negative.
Operating Results
The Company earned $10.25 million, or $2.65 per share, for 1994, compared to
$10.8 million, or $2.79 per share, for 1993. Net income after taxes was
affected by the following items during 1994 and 1993:
A nonrecurring recovery of prior year losses increased 1994 net income
by $503 thousand.
The Company reached a bond claim settlement which increased 1993 net
income by $3.5 million.
The adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", increased 1993 net income by
$380 thousand.
Adjusting each year for these items, net income would increase 40.7% to $9.7
million, or $2.52 per share in 1994, from $6.9 million, or $1.79 per share in
1993.
The 1994 and 1993 performance ratios before and after adjustments are as
follows:
1994 1993 % change
Return on assets:
Before adjustments for
nonrecurring events 1.22% 1.33%
After adjustments 1.16% .85% 36.5%
Return on equity:
Before adjustments for
nonrecurring events 10.55% 11.86%
After adjustments 9.99% 7.58% 31.8%
Management will continue its efforts to improve the components typical to
bank earnings; net interest spread and noninterest expenses, as well as
noninterest income.
The last three subsidiaries to be established by the Company should prove to
be even more beneficial in future years.
Leasing One, the equipment leasing subsidiary established in 1993, should
provide most of the Company's loan growth in the near future.
FCB Services, Inc., the data processing subsidiary established in 1992,
began performing data processing services for non-affiliated banks during
1994.
Money One Credit Company, the consumer finance subsidiary established in
1989, opened three new offices during 1994. The subsidiary is well
established with a total of fourteen offices throughout Kentucky.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the most significant component of the Company's
earnings. Net interest income is the excess of interest income earned on
assets over the interest paid for funds to support those assets. The following
table represents the major components of interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities on a tax equivalent basis (TE) where tax exempt income is
adjusted upward by an amount equivalent to the federal income taxes that would
have been paid if the income had been fully taxable (assuming a 34% tax rate).

Net interest income (TE) increased $3.9 million during 1994 to $37.7 million,
which can be directly attributed to the $31.0 million increase in average
earning assets. The major component of the increase in average earning assets
is the $43.8 million increase in average loans. Interest-free funding
sources as a percentage of average earning assets increased from 15.5% in
1993 to 16.31% in the current year. The change in the spread between rates
earned and paid and the net interest margin are summarized below:

As the table indicates, the $3.9 million increase for 1994 in net interest
income (TE) is mainly attributed to the volume variance.
Asset Quality
The provision for loan losses represents charges made to earnings to maintain
an adequate Allowance. Each subsidiary determines its level for the
Allowance and maintains it at an amount believed to be sufficient to absorb
possible losses that may be experienced in the credit portfolio. The
following factors are used in establishing an appropriate Allowance:
A careful assessment of the financial condition of individual borrowers
A realistic determination of the value and adequacy of underlying collateral
A thorough review of historical loss experience
The condition of the local economy
A comprehensive analysis of the levels and trends of loan categories
A review of delinquent and criticized loans
The provision for loan losses increased $4.2 million compared to year end
1993. This increase is primarily a result of the bond claim settlement, which
subsequently resulted in a negative provision for loan losses for 1993. The
settlement increased the Allowance by an amount management felt exceeded the
amount necessary to absorb possible future loan losses. Management
subsequently reduced the Allowance balance to the amount necessary to absorb
possible future losses on the total loans outstanding at that time, thus the
resultant negative provision.
Excluding the bond claim settlement, the provision for loan losses actually
decreased $1.1 million, or 35% during 1994. The Company had net charge offs
of $1.8 million during 1994 compared to net recoveries of $2.3 million during
1993. Exclusive of the bond claim settlement, net charge offs decreased $1.2
million, or 40.0% during 1994. The Allowance totaled $8.9 million at year
end 1994, or 1.7% of loans, net of unearned income, an increase of $400
thousand, or 4.7% from year end 1993. Management continues to emphasize
collection efforts and evaluation of the risks within the loan portfolio.
The table below summarizes the loan loss experience for the past five years.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $876 thousand, or 8.2% to $11.5 million for the
year. Factors contributing to the net increase were as follows:
The nonrecurring recovery of $758 thousand ($503 thousand, net of tax)
Income derived from a third party brokerage company selling investments at
our locations which generated $105 thousand in rents and commissions
Service charges and fees increased $97 thousand
Trust income increased $45 thousand
Securities gains decreased $78 thousand
The increase in service charges and fees are attributed to an increase in
overdraft fees and demand deposit account service charges of $35 thousand and
$80 thousand, respectively.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense, excluding the provision for loan losses, increased $1.0
million, or 3.4% to $31.1 million. The largest component of noninterest
expense is salaries and benefits which increased $793 thousand, or 5.2% to
$15.9 million. The expansion of the consumer finance and commercial leasing
subsidiaries, along with annual salary adjustments, contributed to this
increase.
Equipment expense, the second largest component at $2.6 million, decreased
$113 thousand, or 4.2%. Occupancy expenses were $2.0 million, an increase of
$56 thousand, or 2.9%.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance premiums decreased $61
thousand, or 3.9%. The Company experiences fluctuations in FDIC premiums due
to the unpredictable deposits and withdrawals made by the Commonwealth of
Kentucky. The FDIC is currently considering a proposal which, if adopted,
would significantly decrease insurance premiums in 1995 and thereafter.
Bank shares tax increased $86 thousand, or 8.5%. Other real estate expenses
decreased $97 thousand, or 28.2%. This decrease can be attributable to a
67.5% reduction in the amount of other real estate owned. Other real estate
expenses should remain at lower levels, since most of the properties have
been sold. Other noninterest expenses increased $357 thousand, or 4.9%.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense decreased $802 thousand, or 15.8% which correlates to the
decrease in income before taxes and the higher percentage of tax free income.
The effective tax rate for 1994 was 29.4% compared to 32.7% in 1993.
Change in Accounting Principle
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".
This statement addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in debt
and equity securities and specifies that they are to be classified in three
categories as follows:
Debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity securities and
reported at amortized cost.
Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the
purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities
and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in
earnings.
Debt and equity securities not classified as either of the above are
classified as available for sale securities and reported at fair value
with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a
separate component of shareholders' equity.
The standard was adopted on January 1, 1994. The Company does not have any
securities classified as trading securities. Accordingly, debt securities
where the Company does not have the positive intent or ability to hold to
maturity are classified as securities available for sale and are carried at
market value. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale
are reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of tax
effect. Prior to adoption of this statement, securities were carried at
amortized cost.
Financial Condition
On December 31, 1994 assets were $852 million, an increase of $57 million, or
7.2% from year end 1993. Average assets for 1994 increased $28 million, or
3.5% to $840 million. Earning assets, primarily loans and investments,
averaged $745 million, up $31 million or 4.3%. These increases can be
attributed to the increase in the loan portfolio during 1994 and the
unpredictable deposits and withdrawals by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Loans
Average loans increased $44 million, or 9.4% in 1994 to $511 million and
represented 68.7% of total earning assets, up from 65.5% in 1993. Although
not reflected in the end of period figures, average loan growth can be
primarily attributed to the growth in variable rate mortgages and lease
financing receivables. The average rate earned on the entire loan portfolio
was 9.25% in 1994, relatively unchanged from 1993. On average, real estate
mortgage loans increased $16.0 million, or 5.9%, to $287.1 million in 1994
and all growth was in variable rate real estate mortgages. Commercial loans
averaged $129.6 million in 1994, up $10.2 million, or 8.5%. The primary
source of this growth came from variable rate commercial loans. Installment
loans averaged $68.6 million, an increase of $8.8 million, or 14.7%. This
growth can be attributed to our consumer finance company and growing loan
demand in the consumer market. Commercial leases averaged $7.2 million, up
$6.8 million from 1993. This growth can be attributed to commercial leasing
subsidiary, which was in its first full year of operation in 1994. In 1995,
the Company does not expect loan volume to increase significantly.
Commercial loans and leases will provide a moderate increase.
The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized in the table below:

Temporary Investments
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell are the
primary components of temporary investments. These funds help in the
management of liquidity and interest rate sensitivity. In 1994, temporary
investments averaged $56 million, a decrease of $19 million, or 25.1% from
year end 1993. This decrease can be attributed to loan growth.
Investment Securities
The majority of the investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury
securities, Federal agency securities, tax-exempt securities, and
mortgage-backed securities. Total investment securities were $193 million on
December 31, 1994, an increase of $4 million, or 2.2% from year end 1993.
Available for sale and held to maturity securities were $72 and $121 million,
respectively. Total investment securities averaged $177 million, an increase
of $6 million, or 3.5% from year end 1993. Net unrealized losses, net of tax
effect, on available for sale securities was $521 thousand on December 31,
1994.
The following table summarizes the carrying values of investment securities
on December 31, 1994. The investment securities are divided into available

The calculation of the weighted average interest rates for each category is
based on the weighted average costs of the securities. The weighted average
tax rates on exempt state and political subdivisions is computed on a taxable
equivalent basis using a 34% tax rate.
The Company shifted away from tax free securities in 1992, because of the
alternative minimum tax (AMT). With the current components of taxable
income, AMT is not expected to impact the Company's tax position in the near
future. While monitoring the possibility of AMT, the Company began shifting
back to tax free securities in 1993 and continued in 1994.
The investment portfolio carries varying degrees of risk. Investments in U.S.
Treasury and Federal agency obligations have little or no credit risk.
Obligations of states and political subdivisions are the areas of highest
exposure in the portfolio. This risk is minimized through the purchase of
high quality investments. Substantially all of the state political
subdivision obligations (excluding non-rated securities of $13 million) in
the investment portfolio were rated A or better by Moody Investors Services
at December 31, 1994. The states and political subdivision obligations not
rated are mostly small Kentucky issues. Management believes these non-rated
securities are of high quality. The table is an analysis of the ratings of
the Company's municipal obligations on December 31, 1994.

Deposits
On December 31, 1994, deposits totaled $697 million, an increase of $39
million, or 5.9% from year end 1993. Deposits averaged $700 million, an
increase of $16 million, or 2.4% from 1993.
On average, interest bearing and noninterest bearing demand deposits
increased $26.4 million, or 11.9% and $10.8 million, or 9.7%, respectively.
The increase in interest bearing demand deposits can be attributed to a shift
in the Company's deposit mix during the past two years from time deposits to
demand deposits. That, along with an increase in the Commonwealth of
Kentucky's deposit of $2.7 million, or 9.1%, contributed to the increase in
noninterest bearing demand deposits. Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co., a
subsidiary of the Company, is the general depository for the Commonwealth of
Kentucky and has been for more than 70 years. The Commonwealth of Kentucky's
deposit balance shows extreme fluctuations due to the unpredictability of
their deposits and withdrawals.
Time deposits averaged $274.8 million in 1994, a decrease of $21.1 million,
or 7.1%. Certificates of deposit with balances less than $100 thousand
decreased $12.6 million, or 6.8%. Certificates of deposit with larger balances
decreased $4.9 million, or 8.4%. Although the shift in the deposit mix was
the major factor contributing to the decrease, it was mitigated by the
creation of a new flexible rate certificate of deposit product in 1994. Due
mainly to this new product, average certificates of deposit increased during
the last quarter of 1994. Savings deposits averaged $55.9 million in 1994,
relatively unchanged from 1993.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets increased $1.0 million, or 12.9%, to $8.9 million at
year end 1994. As a percentage of loans and other real estate owned,
nonperforming assets were 1.7% in 1994, 1.6% in 1993, 3.7% in 1992 and 4.7%
in 1991. While nonperforming assets increased in 1994, the performance over
the past four years has been much better. Since 1991, nonperforming assets
have decreased $14 million, or 61.1%. The percentage of nonperforming assets
to loans and other real estate has decreased 300 basis points since 1991.
The largest component of the reduction in nonperforming assets is other real
estate owned which has decreased $8.5 million, or 95.7% since 1991. This
trend is a result of management's continued efforts to improve the quality of
the loan portfolio. The Company's loan policy includes strict guidelines for
approving and monitoring loans. The table below is a five year summary of
nonperforming assets.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The liquidity of the Company is dependent on the receipt of dividends from
its subsidiary banks (see Note 16 to the financial statements). Management
expects that in the aggregate, its subsidiary banks will continue to have the
ability to dividend adequate funds to the Company.
The Company's objective as it relates to liquidity is to insure that
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 banks have several sources of funds available
on a daily basis which can be used for liquidity purposes. Those sources of
funds are:
The banks' core deposits consisting of both business and non-business
deposits
Cash flow generated by repayment of loan principal and interest
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
Liquidity projections are reviewed on a monthly basis. Generally, sources
one and two are sufficient to meet liquidity requirements. The third source
is available, but has not been utilized by the Company in recent history.
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 following chart illustrates interest rate sensitivity at December 31,
1994 for various time periods. The purpose of this GAP chart is to measure
interest rate risk utilizing the repricing intervals of the interest sensitive
assets and liabilities. Rising interest rates are likely to increase net
interest income in a positive GAP position while falling interest rates are
beneficial in a negative GAP position. The Company has a negative GAP position
through twelve months, but then shifts to a positive GAP position. This
positioning is due to management's anticipated economic outlook and other
competitive factors.

Effects of Inflation
Since most of the assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, inflation
has a minor effect on banking concerns. Personnel costs, occupancy expenses
and equipment costs all tend to reflect the inflation rate as measured by the
consumer price index. The Company continues to attempt to offset such
increases by raising noninterest income fees.
Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' equity was $100.1 million on December 31, 1994, increasing $5
million, or 5.2% from year end 1993. Dividends of $4.8 million were declared
during 1994. The Company's Board of Directors approved an increase in the
quarterly dividend rate in the fourth quarter of 1994 from $.30 per share to
$ .33 per share. The Company's capital ratios as of December 31, 1994 and
the regulatory minimums are as follows:
Farmers Capital Regulatory
Bank Corporation Minimum
Tier 1 risk based 16.42% 4.00%
Total risk based 17.67% 8.00%
Leverage 11.47% 3.00%
The capital ratios of all the subsidiary banks, on an individual basis, were
well in excess of the applicable minimum regulatory capital ratio
requirements at December 31, 1994.

Accounting Requirements
In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan", which addresses the accounting by creditors for
impairment of a loan by specifying how allowances for credit losses related
to certain loans should be determined. This statement also addresses the
accounting by creditors for all loans that are restructured in a troubled debt
restructuring involving a modification of terms of a receivable.
An impaired loan shall be measured by the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as
a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value
of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the
impaired loan is less than the recorded investment, an impairment will be
recognized by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to bad
debt expense.
SFAS No. 114 shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1994. Due to the Company's high level of loan quality, the implementation of
the statement will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial statements.
1993 Compared with 1992
Net income was $10.8 million in 1993 compared to $6.3 million in 1992, an
increase of $4.5 million, or 71.4%. Net income per share increased to $2.79
from $1.63, or 71.2%. Of the increase, $3.9 million can be attributed to the
bond claim settlement and the adoption of SFAS No. 109 during 1993. Return
on average assets and average equity rose to 1.33% and 11.86% in 1993
compared to .78% and 7.16% in 1992.
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased 2.5% to $33.8
million. The growth was due to the decline in rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities being greater than the rates earned on interest earning assets.
This also increased the spread between rates earned and paid and the net
interest margin in 1993 to 4.19% and 4.73%, respectively compared to 3.97%
and 4.63% in 1992.
Noninterest income increased $1.5 million, or 16.5% in 1993. The majority of
the increase can be attributed to fees from the consumer finance subsidiary.
Noninterest expense increased $343 thousand to $30.0 million in 1993.
Salaries and benefits, the largest component, increased $326 thousand.
Occupancy expenses were up $213 thousand and equipment expenses were down $73
thousand. FDIC insurance premiums were down $66 thousand. Other real estate
expenses decreased $519 thousand, or 60.1%.
Income tax expense was $5.1 million in 1993, an increase of $2.8 million from
1992, which correlates to the increase in income before taxes. The bond
claim settlement increased income tax expense by $1.8 million. The effective
tax rate for 1993 was 32.7% compared to 26.1% in 1992.
On December 31, 1993, the allowance for loan losses totaled $8.5 million, or
1.8% of loans, net of unearned, unchanged from 1992. The provision for loan
losses decreased $5.3 million in 1993, which can be directly attributed to the
bond claim settlement. Nonperforming assets declined $9.6 million, or 55.1%
in 1993.
Average assets, average earning assets, average loans, and average deposits
were relatively unchanged between 1993 and 1992.
Stockholders' equity was $95.1 million on December 31, 1993, an increase of
$6.5 million, or 7.3% from 1992.
Item - 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Farmers Capital Bank Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Farmers
Capital Bank Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993
and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Farmers Capital
Bank Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994 the
Company changed its method of accounting for certain investments in debt and
equity securities. Also, as discussed in Notes 9 and 11 to the consolidated
financial statements, in 1993 the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes and other postretirement benefits.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation and
Subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles and general
practices applicable to the banking industry. The more significant
accounting policies are summarized below:
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers
Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company"), a bank holding company, and its
subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, Farmers Bank & Capital
Trust Co. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
presented for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the 1994
presentation. These reclassifications do not affect net income or
shareholders' equity as previously reported.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest bearing demand deposits in
other banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to
resell. Generally, federal funds sold and securities purchased under
agreements to resell are purchased and sold for one-day periods.
Investment Securities:
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". The statement requires that all investments
in debt securities and all investments in equity securities that have
readily determinable fair values be classified into three categories.
Securities that management has positive intent and ability to hold until
maturity are classified as held to maturity. Securities that are bought
and held specifically for the purpose of selling in the near term are
classified as trading securities. All other securities are classified as
available for sale. Securities are designated as available for sale if
management intends to use such securities in its asset/liability management
strategy and therefore such securities may be sold in response to changes
in interest rates and prepayment risk. Securities classified as trading
and available for sale are carried at market value. Unrealized holding gains
and losses for trading securities are included in current income.
Unrealized holding gains and losses for available for sale securities are
reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity
until realized. Investments classified as held to maturity are carried at
amortized cost. Realized gains and losses on any sales of securities are
computed on the basis of specific identification of the adjusted cost of
each security and are included in noninterest income. Investments
categorized as available for sale had an estimated fair value in excess of
carrying value of $276,000 at January 1, 1994, and had the effect of
increasing stockholders' equity by $182,000 (net of tax effect of $94,000).
Loans:
Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Interest income on
loans is recognized using the interest method based on loan principal
amounts outstanding during the period. Accrual of interest is adjusted or
discontinued on a loan when, in the opinion of management, its collection
becomes doubtful.
Provision for Loan Losses:
The provision for loan losses charged to operating expenses is an amount
that is sufficient to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate
level based on management's best estimate of possible future loan losses.
Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on
such considerations as the current condition and volume of the Company's
loan portfolios, economic conditions within the Company's service areas,
review of specific problem loans, and any other factors influencing the
collectibility of the loan portfolios.
Other Real Estate:
Other real estate owned included with other assets on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets includes properties acquired by the Company
through actual loan foreclosures or in-substance foreclosures. The real
estate is stated at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan or
estimated net realizable value.
Bank Premises and Equipment:
Bank premises, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed
primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for
furniture, equipment and buildings. Leasehold improvements are amortized
over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or terms of the related
leases on the straight-line method. Maintenance, repairs and minor
improvements are charged to operating expenses as incurred and major
improvements are capitalized. The cost of assets sold or retired and the
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any
resulting gain or loss is included in income.
Earnings Per Share:
Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding.
2. Restrictions on Cash and Due From Banks
Included in cash and due from banks are certain noninterest bearing deposits
that are held at the Federal Reserve Bank and correspondent banks in
accordance with average balance requirements specified by the Federal Reserve
Board of Governors. The total average balances maintained in accordance with
such requirements as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 were $6,449,000 and
$7,199,000, respectively.

8. Interest Bearing Deposits
Time deposits of $100,000 or more at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were
$54,951,000 and $54,581,000, respectively.
9. Income Taxes
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The statement requires a
change from the deferred method to the asset and liability method of computing
deferred income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income
taxes are recognized for the tax consequences on future years of temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax
basis of existing assets and liabilities.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the standard. The cumulative
effect of this adoption was an increase in net income of $380,000 ($.10 per
share).
The components of income tax expense are as follows:
(In thousands) 1994 1993 1992
Currently payable $ 4,282 $ 5,116 $ 2,170
Deferred income taxes (18) (50) 65
$ 4,264 $ 5,066 $ 2,235
An analysis of the difference between the effective income tax rates and the
statutory federal income tax rate follows:
(In thousands) 1994 1993 1992
Federal statutory rate 35.0% 34.0% 34.0%
Changes from statutory rates
resulting from:
Tax exempt interest (7.0) (4.3) (7.2)
Nondeductible interest to
carry municipal obligations .7 .4 .1

Alternative minimum tax (6.0)
Surtax (.7)
Other, net .1 1.4 3.1
29.4% 32.7% 26.1%
The tax effects of the significant temporary differences which comprise
deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1994 and 1993 follows:
1994 1993
Assets:
Loan loss reserve $3,022 $2,879
Deferred directors' fees 125 104
Postretirement benefit obligation 164 59
Investment securities 268
Capital loss carry forward 53
Deferred tax asset valuation reserve (50)

Deferred loan fees 125
Lease financing operations 163 20
Other 59 28
1,936 1,721
Net assets $1,867 $1,581
As of December 31, 1994, management established a valuation allowance against
the deferred assets relating to capital loss carryforwards realized from the
sale of equity securities. If not utilized, the deferred asset and valuation
allowance will expire December 31, 1999.
10. Retirement Plans
The Company maintains a defined contribution-money purchase pension plan
which covers substantially all employees. The Company's contributions under
the plan are based upon a percentage of covered employees' salaries.
The Company has established a stock bonus/employee stock ownership plan for
the benefit of substantially all employees of the Company. The Company's
contributions under the plan are based upon a percentage of covered
employees' salaries, and are paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors
of the Company.
The Company has also established a profit-sharing (401K) plan which covers
substantially all employees. The Company will match all eligible employee
contributions up to 4% of the participant's compensation. The Company may,
at the discretion of the Board, contribute an additional amount based upon a
percentage of covered employees' salaries.
The total retirement plans' expense for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $820,000,
$741,000 and $702,000, respectively.
11. Postretirement Benefits
The Company provides lifetime medical and dental benefits for certain
eligible retired employees. Only employees meeting the eligibility
requirements as of December 31, 1989 will be eligible for such benefits upon
retirement. The entire cost of these benefits is paid for by the Company as
incurred and totaled $86,000 and $104,000, respectively, for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993. The plan is unfunded.
In December of 1990, the FASB issued SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions", which required that all such
benefits be accounted for on an accrual basis rather than the prevalent cash
basis. Management determined that the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation at January 1, 1993 was approximately $2,029,000. Management
implemented this statement in the first quarter of 1993 and is amortizing the
transition obligation over 20 years.
The following table sets forth the plan's status reconciled with the amount
shown in the Company's balance sheets at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
(In thousands) 1994 1993
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
Retirees and dependents $2,065 $1,392
Fully eligible active plan participants 545 519
Other active plan participants 513 458
Total accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation 3,123 2,369
Unrecognized net loss (266) (257)
Unamortized transition obligation (1,826) (1,928)
Unrecognized prior service cost (594)
Accrued postretirement benefit cost $ 437 $ 184
The components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost at
December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:
(In thousands) 1994 1993
Service cost $ 20 $ 18
Interest on accumulated benefit obligation 213 159
Amortization of transition obligation 147 101
Total $ 380 $ 278
Major assumptions:
Discount rate 8.0% 7.0%
For measurement purposes, a 13% annual rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered health care benefits for those below the age of 65 and 11%
for those over 65 was assumed. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to
6% by 2012 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend
rate assumption has a significant affect on the amounts reported.
If the health care cost trend rate were to increase 1%, the service and
interest cost would be $267,000 and the accumulated benefit obligation would
be $3,497,000.
12. Leases
The Company leases certain of its branch sites and certain banking equipment
under operating leases. All of the branch site leases have renewal options
of varying lengths and terms. The aggregate minimum rental commitments under
these leases are not material.
13. Financial Instruments With Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. The financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit.
These financial instruments involve to varying degrees, elements of credit
and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated
balance sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent
of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require the payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Total commitments to
extend credit at December 31, 1994, were $84,017,000. The Company evaluates
each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of
credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.
Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, marketable
securities, inventory, property, plant and equipment, residential real estate,
and income producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Since many of
the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The credit risk involved in using letters of credit is essentially the same
as that received when extending credit to customers. The Company had
approximately $4,284,000 in irrevocable letters of credit outstanding at
December 31, 1994.
14. Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's bank subsidiaries actively engage in lending, primarily in home
counties and adjacent areas. Collateral is received to support these loans
when deemed necessary. The most significant categories of collateral include
cash on deposit with the Company's banks, marketable securities, income
producing property, home mortgages, and consumer durables. Loans
outstanding, commitments to make loans, and letters of credit range across a
large number of industries and individuals. The obligations are
significantly diverse and reflect no material concentration in one or more
areas.
15. Contingencies
The Company's bank subsidiaries are defendants in legal actions arising from
normal business activities. Management believes these actions are without
merit, that in certain instances its actions or omissions were pursuant to the
advice of counsel, or that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from
them will not materially affect the Company's consolidated financial
position, although resolution in any year or quarter could be material for that
period.
16. Dividend Limitations
Payment of dividends by the Company's subsidiary banks is subject to certain
regulatory restrictions as set forth in national and state banking laws and
regulations. At December 31, 1994, combined retained earnings of the
subsidiary banks were approximately $35,017,000 of which $1,880,000 is
available for the payment of dividends in 1995 without obtaining prior
approval from bank regulatory agencies.
17. Bond Claim
During 1991, First Citizens Bank, Hardin County (the "Bank"), a subsidiary of
the Company, filed a bond claim for $6,800,000 with its bonding company to
recover losses incurred in 1990 resulting from an apparent scheme to defraud
the Bank. After exhaustive efforts to settle the claim with the bonding
company, the Bank initiated litigation during the first quarter of 1992
against the bonding company. During the third quarter of 1993, the Company
reached a settlement in the amount of $5,279,000, which was accounted for as
a loan loss recovery. Loan loss recoveries result in an increase in the
allowance for loan losses ("Allowance"). The Allowance was subsequently
adjusted to the amount necessary, as determined by management, to absorb
possible future losses on total loans currently outstanding. The adjustment
resulted in a reduction in the provision for loan losses to the extent that
the provision for the year was negative.
18. Effect of Implementing SFAS No. 114
In May 1993, the FASB issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan", which addresses the accounting by creditors for
impairment of a loan by specifying how allowances for credit losses related to
certain loans should be determined. This statement also addresses the
accounting by creditors for all loans that are restructured in a troubled
debt restructuring involving a modification of terms.
An impaired loan shall be measured by the present value of expected future
cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except that as a
practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price or fair value of
the collateral if the loan is collateral dependant. If the measure of the
impaired loan is less than the recorded investment, an impairment will be
recognized by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to
bad debt expense.
SFAS No. 114 shall be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1994. Due to the Company's high level of loan quality, the implementation of
the statement will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's
financial statements.
19. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities:
For marketable equity securities held for investment purposes, fair values
are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. For other securities
held as investments, fair value equals quoted market price, if available.
If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using
quoted market prices for similar securities.
Loan Receivables:
For variable rate loans that reprice frequently with no significant change
in credit risk, fair values are based upon carrying amounts.
For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as credit card
receivables, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for
securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan
characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using a discount rate that has been
adjusted for credit risk and the remaining maturities.
Deposit Liabilities:
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money
market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The
carrying amount for variable rate and fixed maturity money market accounts
and certificates of deposit approximates fair value at the reporting date.
The fair value of fixed rate and fixed maturity certificates of deposit is
estimated using a discounted cash flow method that applies interest rates
currently offered for certificates of deposit with similar remaining
maturities.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit:
Pricing of these financial instruments is based on the credit quality and
relationship, fees, interest rates, probability of funding, compensating
balance, and other covenants or requirements. Loan commitments generally
have fixed expiration dates, variable interest rates and contain
termination and other clauses which provide for relief from funding in the
event there is a significant deterioration in the credit quality of
the customer. Many loan commitments are expected to, and typically do,
expire without being drawn upon. The rates and terms of the Company's
commitments to lend, and standby letters of credit are competitive with
others in the various markets in which the Company operates. There are no
unamortized fees relating to these financial instruments, as such the
carrying value and market value are both zero.
Other Borrowed Funds:
The fair value of other borrowed funds is estimated using rates currently
available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as
follows:
1994 1993

Proxy Statement
Annual Shareholders Meeting-May 9, 1995
General
The Board of Directors of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the
"Corporation") hereby solicits your proxy for use at the Annual Shareholder's
Meeting (the "Meeting"). The Meeting will be held at the main office of
Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co. ("Farmers Bank"), One Farmers Bank Plaza,
Frankfort, Kentucky, on Tuesday, May 9, 1995 at 11:00 a.m., or at any
adjournment thereof. The persons named as proxies in the form of proxy,
Charles S. Boyd and Dr. John P. Stewart, have been designated as proxies by
the Board of Directors.
When the enclosed proxy is executed and returned before the Meeting, the
shares represented thereby will be voted at the Meeting as specified thereon.
Any person executing the enclosed proxy may revoke it prior to the voting at
the Meeting by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the
Corporation, by filing a proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary or by
attending the Meeting and voting his or her shares in person.
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being sent
to shareholders on or about April 3, 1995.
Matters to be Considered
The matters which the Board of Directors proposes to bring before the
shareholders at the Meeting are as follows:
1. Election of four directors for three-year terms ending in 1998, or
until their successors have been elected and qualified;
2. Ratification of the appointment of Coopers & Lybrand as independent
accountants for the Corporation and its subsidiaries for the calendar
year 1995.
The four nominees for director receiving the highest number of votes shall be
elected directors, to hold the office for three year terms ending in 1998 or
until their successors are elected and qualified.
Under Kentucky law, the presence in person or by proxy of at least a majority
of the shares of outstanding common stock entitled to vote is necessary to
constitute a quorum.
Voting
Voting rights are vested exclusively in the holders of shares of Corporation
Common Stock. A shareholder is entitled to one vote per share of Corporation
Common Stock owned on each matter coming before the Meeting except that
voting rights are cumulative in connection with the election of directors.
In the election of directors, each shareholder is entitled to as many votes
as are equal to the number of such shareholder's shares of Corporation Common
Stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and the
shareholder may cast all such votes for a single nominee or distribute such
votes among two or more nominees as the shareholder sees fit. For example,
if you own 100 shares of Corporation Common Stock you can give each of the
four nominees 100 votes, one of the nominees all 400 votes or any other
division of your 400 votes among the nominees as you see fit. Any vote for
the election of directors of the Board of Directors proxy form as described
herein will constitute discretionary authority to the named proxies to
cumulate the votes to which such proxy forms relate as they shall determine.
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 1995 will be
entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. On April 1, 1995
there were 3,866,382 shares of Corporation Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Shareholders being present in person or by proxy representing a majority of
the outstanding shares of the Corporation shall constitute a quorum. If a
quorum is present, a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy shall
constitute a plurality meaning that the individuals who receive the largest
number of votes are elected as directors. Accordingly, any shares not voted
(whether by withholding authority, broker's non-vote or otherwise) have no
impact on the election of directors except to the extent that the failure to
vote for an individual results in another individual receiving a large
number of votes.
The following table gives the indicated information as to all persons or
entities known to the Corporation to be beneficial owners of more than five
(5%) percent of the shares of Corporation Common Stock. Unless otherwise
indicated, beneficial ownership includes both voting power and investment
power.

directors and officers. The persons listed, unless otherwise indicated, are
the sole owners of the reported securities and accordingly exercise both
sole voting and sole investment power over the securities. However, as
indicated in the following footnotes, this column includes, in some instances,
shares of the Corporation Common Stock in which members of the immediate
family of the person listed have a specified interest, as well as shares in
which entities owned or controlled by the person listed has a specified
interest. These shares are reported because of the definition of
"beneficial ownership" for purposes of federal securities laws. In each case,
the director disclaims beneficial ownership of any such shares and declares
that the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that
the director is, for the purposes of sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the beneficial owner of such securities.

Counsel
1 The compensation indicated in this column includes cash compensation to
such persons in all capacities indicated as well as compensation in the form
of director's fees for service as a director of one or more of the
Corporation's subsidiaries.
2 The amounts reflected in this column include the amounts contributed by the
Corporation to the accounts of the named individuals in the Corporation
Pension Plan and the Corporation Salary Savings Plan, both of which are
described below.
Compensation of Directors
Directors of the Corporation who are not employed as officers of either the
Corporation or any subsidiary receive an annual fee of $2,000.00. Directors
of the Corporation who are not employed by the Corporation or any subsidiary,
but who are also directors of Farmers Bank receive an annual fee from the
Bank of $10,000 plus $50 per meeting attended for membership on Farmers Bank
committees such as the Trust Committee, the Audit Committee and the Loan
Committee. Dr. John P. Stewart receives $6,000.00 in addition to his normal
director's fee for his services as Chairman of the Board.
Compliance with Section 16 (2) of the Exchange Act:
According to information provided to the Corporation by its directors and
officers, all are in compliance with Section 16 (2) of the Act.
Report of Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is composed of Dr. John P. Stewart, M. D.,
Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Charles T. Mitchell, CPA, a former
Director and now an advisory director, and Mr. Charles O. Bush, a director.
The Compensation Committee set Mr. Boyd's salary, as indicated on the
foregoing table, at a level consistent with Chief Executive Officers of
financial corporations of comparable size according to information available
to the committee. Mr. Boyd's salary for 1994 was well within the third
quartile of regional chief executive officers.
The factors normally considered by the Compensation Committee were tempered
in 1993 by the fact that the Corporation received the proceeds from a bond
claim relating to its fraud loss in 1990 and also benefited from the adoption
of SFAS 109. Net income increased to $10.8 million in 1993 compared to $6.3
million in 1992. After eliminating the above mentioned factors, net income
rose to $6.9 million or 9.6% increase. Return on average assets and average
equity rose to 1.33% and 11.86%, respectively, compared .78% and 7.16% in
1992. After eliminating the nonrecurring factors, the return on average assets
was .85% and the return on average equity was 7.6%. Moreover, in 1993, the
nonperforming assets of the Corporation continued to decline by
approximately 55%.
The Compensation Committee believes that the Corporation will continue to
rebound from its fraud loss in 1990 and its nonperforming loan problem which
existed in 1991.
The Compensation Committee is also responsible for setting the salaries of
other named executive officers. The setting of those salaries is based upon
the Corporation's general compensation policy which considers both
quantitative and qualitative variables. Those variables consist of, but are
not limited to performance of the Corporation, performance of the individual
subsidiaries, the individual's contribution to performance, industry
standards, number of individuals supervised, experience and education in key
areas, corporate needs and current economic conditions.
The Compensation Committee is also responsible for administering the
Corporation's incentive plan. The plan is designed to award incentive
payments to all full-time employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries
when certain threshold levels of performance are met. The Committee
established the incentive threshold at the earnings level budgeted by the
Corporation. As the earnings of the Corporation exceed that budgeted
threshold, certain incentive percentages are triggered. For example, if
earnings exceed the budgeted threshold by an amount equal to 1% of the
full-time employee salaries, then the employees get a 1/2 of 1% incentive
payment. Likewise, if the earnings exceed the threshold by 2% of full-time
employee salaries, the employees get a 1% incentive payment. In 1994,
earnings exceeded the budgeted threshold by such an amount that each employee
received an additional 4.1% of his salary. For 1995, a threshold some 17%
higher than the threshold for 1994 and 10% higher than reported 1994
earnings, has been established.
All amounts of compensation indicated are deductible for income tax purposes.

Corporation Pension Plan
The Corporation and its subsidiaries maintain a Pension Plan for their
respective employees, which Pension Plan functions both as an employee stock
ownership plan and as a money purchase pension plan. Employees who have
attained the age of twenty-one and who have completed one year of service are
eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. For purposes of the Plan, a
year of service is a twelve month period in which an employee works at least
1000 hours. The money purchase portion of the Pension Plan provides that the
Corporation shall contribute to the Plan for a Plan Year on behalf of each
participant an amount equal to 4% of such participant's compensation for the
Plan Year.
In addition to the money purchase component of the Pension Plan, the Pension
Plan also includes an employee stock ownership component. The Pension Plan
provides that the Corporation, in addition to its 4% contribution, may at its
discretion contribute additional amounts (up to the maximum imposed by
federal law) which will be allocated to all participants in the ratio that
each participant's compensation bears to all participants' compensation.
Such discretionary contributions will be utilized to purchase shares of
Corporation Common Stock to be held in the participants' account. Such shares
of Corporation Common Stock may be acquired from the Corporation, its
shareholders or the open market and may be acquired at any price provided
that the price does not exceed the market price at the time of the purchase.
A 1% discretionary contribution was made to the Pension Plan in 1994.
Amounts voluntarily contributed by a participant to a tax-deferred account
under the Corporation Salary Savings Plan described below are considered as
part of the participant's compensation for purposes of computing
contributions to the Pension Plan. The benefits which a participant can
ultimately expect to receive from the Pension Plan are based upon the amount
of the annual contributions made by the Corporation to his or her account
together with the accumulated value of all earnings on these contributions.
A participant who has completed seven years of service with the Corporation
or its subsidiaries will be 100% vested in the balance of his or her account,
with the Pension Plan's complete vesting schedule as follows: three years of
service, 20% vested; four years of service, 40% vested; five years of service,
60% vested; six years of service, 80% vested; and seven years of service,
100% vested.
The Corporation officers listed above in the compensation table participate
in the Pension Plan and the amounts shown in the compensation table under the
caption " All other compensation" include the amounts contributed in 1994 for
the benefit of Corporation officers listed above in the compensation table as
follows: Mr. Boyd $8,746.13; Mr. Childers, $4,652.49; Mr. Sykes $8,526.79;
Mr. Taylor $5,140.76; and the executive officers as a group $27,066.17.
Corporation Salary Savings Plan
The Corporation and its subsidiaries maintain a Salary Savings Plan for their \
employees who have attained the age of 21 and who have completed one year of
service with the Corporation or its subsidiaries. A year of service is a
twelve-month period in which an employee works at least 1,000 hours. The
Savings Plan provides for four types of contributions, as follows:
1. Voluntary tax deferred contributions made by the participant.
2. Matching contributions made by the Corporation.
3. Non-discretionary Corporation contributions of a percentage of a
participant's compensation.
4. Discretionary Corporation contributions.
A participant is permitted to make tax-deferred voluntary contributions under
a salary reduction agreement. This deferral of compensation is subject to
certain limitations, one of which is the limit imposed by the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, upon the dollar amount of the deferral. In
1994, such limit was $9,240.00.
All tax deferred contributions made by a participant up to an amount equal to
4% of such participant's compensation are matched on a dollar-for-dollar
basis by a Corporation contribution to the Savings Plan, subject to certain
limitations. No matching contributions are made with regard to a participant
deferral contribution in excess of 4% of compensation. The Corporation may,
in its sole discretion, make additional contributions to the Savings Plan on
behalf of participants. The Corporation made no discretionary contribution
to the Savings Plan in 1994. Discretionary contribution are allocated among
participants in the ratio that each participant's compensation bears to all
participant's compensation.
Amounts voluntarily contributed by a participant to the participant's
tax-deferred account under the Savings Plan are considered as part of the
participant's compensation for purposes of computing the Corporation's
contribution to the Savings Plan.
The Salary Plan participants are immediately vested in 100% of their
tax-deferred voluntary contributions. As to all other amounts contributed by
the Corporation to the Savings Plan, the vesting schedule mirrors that of the
Corporation Pension Plan enumerated above.
The amounts shown in the compensation table above under the caption "All
Other Compensation" include the matching contribution amounts accrued in 1994
for the benefit of the Corporation officers participating in the Savings
Plan, as follows: Mr. Boyd, $6,000.00; Mr. Childers, $3,721.98; Mr. Sykes,
$6,000.00; Mr. Taylor, $4,113.02, and the executive officers as a group,
$19,835.00.
