It acts as trustee of personal trusts, as executor of estates, as trustee for employee benefit trusts, as registrar, transfer agent and paying agent for bond issues. Farmers Bank also acts as registrar, transfer agent and paying agent for the Registrant's stock issue. Farmers Bank is the general depository for the Commonwealth of Kentucky and has been for more than 70 years.
Farmers Bank is the largest bank in Franklin County. It conducts business in its principal office and four branches within Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky. Franklin County is a diverse community, including government, commerce, finance, industry, medicine, education and agriculture. The bank also serves many individuals and corporations throughout Central Kentucky. On December 31, 1996, it had total assets of $405 million, including loans of $234 million. On the same date, total deposits were $359 million and shareholders' equity totaled $36 million.
Farmers Bank had three subsidiaries during the year: Farmers Bank Realty Company ("Realty"); Money One Credit of Kentucky, Inc. ("Money One"); and Leasing One Corporation ("Leasing One"). Farmers Bank, Realty and Money One, Inc. owned a partnership - Money One Credit Company ("MOCC") prior to its dissolution at the end of 1996. Farmers Bank also participates in a joint venture - Frankfort ATM, Ltd. ("ATM").
Realty was incorporated in 1978 for the purpose of owning certain real estate used by the Registrant and Farmers Bank in the ordinary course of business. Realty had total assets of $3.5 million on December 31, 1996.
Money One was incorporated in 1989 and until January 1, 1993, was a direct subsidiary of the Registrant. It managed the consumer finance company, MOCC. At December 31, 1996 it had $824 thousand in assets. As of the close of business on December 31, 1996, Money One was dissolved and all assets were distributed to Farmers Bank, it sole shareholder.
MOCC was established on June 1, 1994. It was a partnership engaged in consumer lending activities under Chapter 288 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes. As stated earlier, the partners included Farmers Bank, Realty and Money One. Prior to May 31, 1996, MOCC had fourteen offices throughout Kentucky. On May 31, 1996, MOCC sold its entire loan portfolio and fixed assets to an unrelated third party. At the close of business on December 31, 1996 its total remaining assets of $11.0 million were distributed to its partners and the company dissolved.
Leasing One was incorporated in August, 1993 to operate as a commercial equipment leasing company. It is located in Frankfort, but conducts business in Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. At year end it had total assets of $15.7 million.
A fourth subsidiary, Farmers Financial Services Corporation ("FFSC"), was in existence for the first three quarters of 1995. FFSC was incorporated in 1985 in order to enter into a partnership with several other banks to form a statewide electronic network. The partnership, known as "Transaction Services Company", supported an automated teller machine network (Quest) with machines throughout Kentucky and Indiana as well as point-of-sale terminals in retail stores. With the termination of the "Quest" network, the parternship known as "Transaction Services Company" was also terminated. As a result, FFSC was dissolved as of September 27, 1995.
Farmers Bank has a 50% interest in ATM, a joint venture for the purpose of ownership of automatic teller machines in the Frankfort area. State National Bank, a Frankfort bank not otherwise associated with the Registrant, also has a 50% interest in ATM.
On February 15, 1985, the Registrant acquired United Bank, a state chartered bank originally organized in 1880. It is engaged in a general banking business providing full service banking to individuals, businesses and governmental customers. It conducts business in its principal office and two branches in Woodford County, Kentucky. On February 3, 1997, it purchased a building in Midway for the purpose of moving its existing Midway branch. The new building will allow the bank to offer drive thru services to its customers. United Bank is the second largest bank in Woodford County with total assets of $101 million and total deposits of $90 million at December 31, 1996.
Pursuant to Parity Letter number Two, issued by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions, the Board of Directors authorized (during 1996) the management of United Bank to investigate the merits of establishing and operating an insurance agency at the Midway Branch.
On June 28, 1985, the Registrant acquired Lawrenceburg Bank, a national chartered bank originally organized in 1885. It is engaged in a general banking business providing full service banking to individuals, businesses and governmental customers. It conducts business in its principal office and one branch in Anderson County, Kentucky. Lawrenceburg Bank is the largest bank in Anderson County with total assets of $98 million and total deposits of $89 million at December 31, 1996.
On March 31, 1986, the Registrant acquired First Citizens Bank, a state chartered bank originally organized in 1964.

It conducts business in its principal office and three branches in Scott County, Kentucky. During 1996, Farmers Georgetown Bank received notice from the State of Kentucky that it would exercise its power of eminent domain at the site of the downtown Georgetown branch. Management is currently seeking alternative sites to relocate this branch, which is expected to be completed in 1997. Farmers Georgetown Bank is the largest bank in Scott County with total assets of $123 million and total deposits of $111 million at December 31, 1996.
On June 15, 1987, the Registrant acquired Horse Cave Bank, a state chartered bank originally organized in 1926. It is engaged in a general banking business providing full service banking to individuals, businesses and governmental customers. It conducts business in its principal office and one branch in Hart County, Kentucky. On December 31, 1996, it filed an application with the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions under Parity Letter number One to move its charter to Glasgow, Kentucky. Once regulatory approval is granted, Horse Cave Bank will maintain a branch in Horse Cave. Horse Cave Bank is the largest bank in Hart County with total assets of $77 million and total deposits of $66 million at December 31, 1996.
Subsidiary banks make first and second residential mortgages secured by the real estate not exceeding 90% loan to value without seeking third party guarantees. Commercial real estate loans are made in the low to moderate range, secured by the real estate not exceeding 80% loan to value. Other commercial loans are asset based loans secured by equipment and lines of credit secured by receivables. Secured and unsecured consumer loans generally are made for automobiles and other motor vehicles. In most cases loans are restricted to the subsidiaries' general market area.
Prior to the sale of its loans and fixed assets, the consumer finance subsidiary made secured and unsecured installment loans for various purposes. The leasing subsidiary makes secured equipment leases to commercial and municipal entities in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee.
FCB Services, organized in 1992, provides data processing services and support for the Registrant and its subsidiaries. It is located in Frankfort, 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 had no activity to date.
	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.
The Bank Holding Company Act formerly prohibited the Federal Reserve Board from approving an application from a bank holding company to acquire shares of another bank across its own state lines. However, effective September 1995, new legislation abolished those restrictions and now allows bank holding companies to acquire shares of out of state banks, subject to certain conditions. Currently, the Company has no plans to purchase shares of an out of state bank.
The Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) provides that a holding company's controlled insured depository institutions are liable for any loss incurred by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in connection with the default of or any FDIC assisted transaction involving an affiliated insured bank.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA"), the FDIC was required to establish a risk-based assessment system for insured depository institutions which became effective January 1, 1994. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based deposit insurance assessment system under which the assessment rate for an insured depository institution depends on the assessment risk classification assigned to the institution by the FDIC which is determined by the institution's capital level.
Under FDICIA, the federal banking regulators are required to take prompt corrective action if an institution fails to satisfy certain minimum capital requirements, including a leverage limit, a risk-based capital requirement, and any other measure deemed appropriate by the federal banking regulators for measuring the capital adequacy of an insured depository institution. All institutions, regardless of their capital levels, are restricted from making any capital distribution or paying any management fees that would cause the institution to be undercapitalized.
The purpose of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is to encourage banks to respond to the credit needs of the communities they serve, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. CRA states that banks should accomplish this while still preserving the flexibility needed for safe and sound operations. It is designed to increase the bank's sensitivity to investment opportunities which will benefit the community. Of the Company's six subsidiary banks, two have an outstanding CRA rating and four have a satisfactory rating.
References under the caption "Supervision and Regulation" to applicable statutes and regulations are brief summaries of portions thereof which do not purport to be complete and which are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
	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 commercial 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, 1996, the Registrant and its subsidiaries had 444 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. The employees are not represented by a union. Management and employee relations are good.
Item 2

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 office. 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 is 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.
Prior to the sale of its entire loan portfolio and fixed assets on May 31, 1996, MOCC operated out of fourteen leased offices in fourteen cities within Kentucky.
Item 3

Item 3 - Legal Proceedings
Farmers 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 Homein 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.
On November 27, 1995, one of the Registrant's subsidiaries, Farmers Bank & Capital Trust co. ("Farmers Bank') filed suit in the Circuit Court for Franklin County, Kentucky against Travel Professionals of Frankfort, Inc. and Travel Professionals of Scott County, Inc. (the "TPI Companies") to collect five (5) loans totaling approximately $1,158,572 plus interest, costs and attorney's fees. By an amended complaint filed in 1996, alleging breach of contract, fraud and breach of duty of due care and diligence, the plaintiff claimed additional damages in the approximate amount of $1,206,342 against the various defendants. In addition to the TPI Companies, other named defendants were Charles O. Bush, Sr., a director of the bank (by virtue of his directorship and of certain guarantees) and two of his children, Charles O. Bush, Jr. and Karen Wilhelm and their respective spouses, Sandra Bush and David Wilhelm, (collectively, the "Bush Family Members"). In addition, Ray Godbey and Virginia Godbey, officers of the Corporation were joined as defendants. Each of the defendants has filed an answer and counterclaim denying liability to Farmers Bank and asserting various claims for damages against the Bank. The registrant believes that the defenses and claims asserted by the defendants are without merit and Farmers Bank has denied any liability to the defendants. The litigation presently is in the discovery phase and is being vigorously defended.
The Registrant's Georgetown, Kentucky affiliate, Farmers Georgetown Bank, and its 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 (defamation) and (4) outrageous conduct. As earlier reported, the initial amount in controversy for the first three counts was unspecified. The amount originally sought as punitive damages for outrageous conduct was $10,000,000. By order of the Scott County Circuit Court, Georgetown, Kentucky, the plaintiffs were required to quantify the amounts in controversy. For the count of fraud the plaintiffs seek $50,000; for the count of breach of good faith and fair dealing the plaintiff seeks $12,900,000; for the count of defamation the plaintiffs seek $14,800,000 plus an estimated $75,000 in legal costs. Further the amount now sought as punitive damages is $21,000,000.
The conduct complained about in counts 1 and 2 involves former officers of Farmers Georgetown Bank. The Bank at this time has had the opportunity to examine those former officers knowledge of the events alleged to have taken place and believes there is no merit to the allegations. The Farmers Georgetown Bank also believes that there is no merit to the allegations in counts 3 and 4 and intends to vigorously defend all claims.
The case was set for trial in both November 1995 and February 1996, but was continued the second time to September 1996. In September of 1996, the court granted the defendant's motions for summary judgements on all counts of the complaint. The plaintiff's appealed to the Court of Appeals of Kentucky and that appeal is now pending.
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 one or more of the claims will not materially affect the Registrant's consolidated financial position or results of operations or cash flows, although resolution in any year or quarter could be material for that period.

Item 6

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Operating Results
Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company') recorded net income of $12.7 million or $3.29 per share for 1996, up 21.8% from $10.4 million or $2.69 per share reported for 1995. The increase is primarily due to the gain on the sale of loans of the Company's consumer finance subsidiary ("Money One") during the second quarter of 1996. The sale of Money One loans affected consolidated results in a number of ways. First, the pre-tax gain of $3.2 million increased earnings for the year. Second, the Company experienced an immediate decrease in net loans of approximately $11.5 million. By year end 1996, loan volume had grown enough to replace the loans sold and to increase net loans by approximately $15 million over the prior year. The impact of the gain on sale of loans can also be seen in the Company's performance ratios. Return on average assets increased from 1.21% to 1.41% and return on average equity increased from 10.20% to 11.80%.
Interest Income
Total interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $69.1 million, up $438 thousand from 1995. The largest contributors to the increase were taxable and nontaxable investment securities. Interest on taxable and nontaxable investment securities was positively impacted by increases both in volume and in rate. Average taxable investment securities increased $19.7 million or 14.5%, while the average rate earned increased from 5.82% to 5.86%. The average balance of nontaxable investment securities increased $11.1 million or 21.9% while the average rate earned increased from 6.64% to 6.70%
Interest on time deposits with banks, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreement to resell decreased $328 thousand to $2.7 million. Interest and fees on loans decreased $1.2 million or 2.2%. Although average loans increased $5.4 million or 1.0%, the average rate earned on loans decreased 32 basis points from 10.05% to 9.73%. The decline in the average rate earned on loans is partially due to the decline in higher yielding consumer loans as the consolidated loan portfolio increased in commercial loans and leases.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased $588 thousand or 2.1% from 1995. The increase is primarily due to increases in the volume of time deposits and the rate paid on time deposits. Interest on interest bearing demand deposits decreased $104 thousand due to a 19 basis point decline in the average rate paid in spite of a $12.7 million, or 5.2%, increase in the average balance. Interest expense for savings deposits was similar. A decline of $57 thousand was caused by a 23 basis point decline in rate in spite of a 4.0% increase in the average balance on savings deposits. The average balance of time deposits increased $15.2 million or 4.9% and the average rate paid increased slightly from 5.55% to 5.61%. The result is a $1.1 million increase in interest expense on time deposits.
Interest on securities sold under agreements to repurchase declined $270 thousand due to slight declines in both volume and rate. Interest on other borrowed funds also decreased slightly, $38 thousand, due primarily to a decline in volume as the Company was able to use increasing deposits at lower rates as a cheaper source of funds.
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 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).
1	Income and yield stated at a fully tax equivalent basis (TE), using a 34% tax rate. 2	Loan balances include principal balances on non-accrual loans. 3	Loan fees included in interest income amounted to $1,977,000, $1,781,000, and $1,731,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income (TE) decreased $150 thousand. Interest income increased $438 thousand, while interest expense increased by $588 thousand. The change in the spread between rates earned and paid and net interest margin are summarized below:
					 		 1996			 1995		 	% change
Spread between rates earned and paid			 		4.20%				4.45%	 			(5.62)%
			Net interest margin	 							4.96%				5.21%	 			(4.80)%
The declines in the net interest spread and the net interest margin are partially due to a decline in higher yielding consumer loans. As seen in the Interest Rate and Interest Differential table, slightly less interest income was earned in 1996 on a larger average loan balance when compared to 1995.
The following table is an analysis of the change in net interest income:
1	The changes which are not solely due to rate or volume are allocated on a percentage basis, using the absolute values of rate and volume variances as a basis for allocation. 2	Income stated at fully tax equivalent basis using a 34% tax rate.
As the table indicates, the decrease is nearly equally attributed to an increase in volume and a decrease in the net interest spread.
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 $435 thousand compared to 1995. The Company had net charge-offs of $3.9 million, down $251 thousand from $4.1 million in 1995. The allowance was 1.57% of net loans, relatively unchanged from 1.56% at the end of 1995. Management feels the current reserve is adequate to cover any potential future losses within the loan portfolio. Management also continues to emphasize collection efforts and evaluation of risks within the portfolio.
The table below summarizes the loan loss experience for the past five years.

									$8,741		 $8,472	 	$8,889 		$8,547 		$8,261
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for 1996 reached $15.0 million, up $3.3 million or 27.6% from $11.7 million in 1995. The increase is due primarily to the gain on sale of loans of Money One, the Company's consumer finance subsidiary. Service charges on deposits and trust fees also experienced moderate growth.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense decreased $626 thousand to $31.8 million. The decline is a result of a $109 thousand decrease in equipment expense and an $815 thousand decrease in FDIC insurance. The FDIC lowered premium rates in 1995 from $.23 per $100 to $.04 per $100. Only a nominal premium was charged in 1996. Rates are expected to be approximately $.013 per $100 in 1997. These declines were partially offset by a $458 thousand, or 2.7% increase in salaries and benefits and slight increases in occupancy expense and bank franchise tax. Management implemented a self-insured medical plan effective January 1, 1996 that has helped to control rising costs. The Commonwealth of Kentucky passed new statutes revising the bank franchise tax during 1996 which will increase that expense in 1997.
Income Tax
Income tax expense increased $806 thousand, or 18.4% due to the increase in earnings. The effective tax rate for 1996 was 29.0%, down 60 basis points from last year.
Financial Condition
On December 31, 1996, assets were $925 million, an increase of $19 million or 2.1% from year end 1995. Average assets for 1996 increased $36 million, or 4.2% to $899 million. Earning assets, primarily loans and investments, averaged $815 million, up $36 million or 4.6%.
Loans
As of December 31, 1996, net loans totaled $558 million, up $15 million or 2.8% from $543 million in the prior year. Although the Company's loan balance decreased by $11.5 million around mid year due to the sale of Money One's loans, the Company's affiliate banks made up for this decline by year end. The effect of these changes can be seen in the loan portfolio composition table. Installment loans decreased $14 million or 13.9% primarily as a result of the sale of Money One's loans and cessation of operations. All other loan categories increased: direct leasing by $7 million or 34.5% and mortgage lending by $12 million or 4.2%.
The following table indicates the amount of loans (excluding real estate mortgages, consumer loans and direct lease financing) outstanding at December 31, 1996, which, based on remaining scheduled repayments of principal, are due in the periods indicated.
Maturing			 Within		 After One But	 After		 (In thousands)			 One Year	 Within Five Years	 Five Years	 Total
Commercial, financial and agricultural		 $ 96,908	 	$20,946	 	$2,402	 	$120,256 Real estate - construction		25,463	 	1,592		 43	 	27,098
							$122,371	 	$22,538		 $2,445	 	$147,354
The table below shows the amount of loans (excluding real estate mortgages, consumer loans and direct lease financing) outstanding at December 31, 1996, which are due after one year classified according to sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Interest Sensitivity	 	Fixed	 	Variable (In thousands)			 Rate		 Rate
Due after one but within five years		 $19,396	 	$3,142 Due after five years			 2,356	 	89
	 						$21,752	 	$3,231
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 1996, temporary investments averaged $52 million, unchanged from their average in 1995. Temporary investment funds are reallocated as loan demand presents the opportunity.
Investment Securities
The majority of the investment security portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury securities, Federal agency securities, tax-exempt securities, and mortgage- backed securities. Total investment securities were $221 million on December 31, 1996, a decrease of $6 million, or 2.7% from year end 1995.
The funds made available from maturing or called bonds have been redirected to fund new loan growth as needed. Remaining funds have been used to increase our holding of tax-free obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Obligations of states and political subdivisions are the primary means of managing the Company's tax position. The alternative minimum tax is not expected to impact the Company's ability to acquire tax-free obligations in the near future as they become available at an attractive yield.
Available for sale securities and held to maturity securities were $109 million and $112 million, respectively. Total investment securities averaged $218 million, an increase of $31 million, or 16.5% from year end 1995. Net unrealized losses, net of tax effect, on available for sale securities, were $362 thousand on December 31, 1996.
The following table summarizes the carrying values of investment securities on December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. The investment securities are divided into available for sale and held to maturity securities. Available for sale securities are carried at the estimated fair value and held to maturity securities are carried at amortized cost.

The following is an analysis of the maturity distribution and weighted average interest rates of investment securities at December 31, 1996. For purposes of this analysis, available for sale securities are stated at fair value and held to maturity securities are valued at amortized cost.
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.
Deposits
On December 31, 1996, deposits totaled $786 million, an increase of $31 million, or 4.2% from year end 1995. Deposits averaged $753 million, an increase of $31 million, or 4.4% from 1995.
During 1996 total average interest bearing deposits increased $30 million, or 4.9% to $641 million while average noninterest bearing deposits increased $1 million, or 1.3% to $112 million.
The primary increase in the deposit base has been with interest bearing demand deposits and time deposits. Average interest bearing demand deposits increased $13 million, or 5.2% while average time deposits increased $15 million, or 4.9%.
A summary of average balances and rates paid on deposits follows:

Such borrowings are generally on an overnight basis.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets decreased $383 thousand, or 5.5% to $6.6 million at year end 1996. As a percentage of loans and other real estate owned, nonperforming assets were 1.2% in 1996 and 1.3% in 1995. Since 1992, nonperforming assets have decreased $11 million, or 62.5%. The largest reductions have been in other real estate owned and restructured loans. This trend is the 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.

Effects of Inflation
The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, the Company differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investments in nonmonetary assets, such as fixed assets and inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio. Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation.
Management believes the most significant impact on financial and operating results is the Company's ability to react to changes in interest rates. Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
The liquidity of the Company is dependent on the receipt of dividends from its subsidiary banks (see Note 17 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 ensure 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 subsidiary 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
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.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Since it is extremely difficult to accurately predict interest rate movements, it is management's intention to maintain the cumulative interest sensitivity gap at the one year time frame between plus or minus 10% of total assets. The gap position may be managed by (1) purchasing investment securities with a maturity date within the desired time frame, (2) offering interest rate incentives to encourage loan customers to choose the desired maturity, and (3) offering interest rate incentives to encourage deposit customers to choose the desired maturity.
The following chart illustrates interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 1996 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 between one and five years. This positioning is due to management's anticipated economic outlook and other competitive factors.

	 Shareholders' Equity
Shareholders' equity was $110 million on December 31, 1996, increasing $4.7 million, or 4.4% from year end 1995. The increase in shareholders' equity is due to 1996 net income of $12.7 million offset by the Company's purchase of 69,400 shares of common stock at a cost of $2.7 million and declaration of dividends totaling $5.7 million. The Company's Board of Directors approved a 13.9% increase in the quarterly dividend rate in the fourth quarter of 1996 from $.36 per share to $.41 per share. The Company's capital ratios as of December 31, 1996, the regulatory minimums and the regulatory standard for a "well capitalized" institution are as follows:
						Farmers Capital	 		Regulatory	 Well 						 Bank Corporation			 Minimum	 Capitalized
	Tier 1 risk based		 	18.35%	 		4.00%		 	6.00% 	 	Total risk based		 	19.60 			8.00	 		10.00
	Leverage	 			11.91	 		4.00 			5.00
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, 1996.
The table below is an analysis of dividend payout ratios and equity to asset ratios for five years.

Dividends declared per share increased $.14 or 10.4% and $.12, or 9.8% for the years 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Accounting Requirements Effective in 1997
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". Under this standard, accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities is based on control. After a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.
This statement applies prospectively in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1996. The Company does not expect the implementation of this statement to have a material affect on the financial statements.
1995 Compared with 1994
Net income was $10.39 million in 1995 compared to $10.25 million in 1994, an increase of $139 thousand. Net income per share increased from $2.65 to $2.69. The Company benefited during the second quarter of 1994 from a significant nonrecurring recovery of prior year losses amounting to $503 thousand after taxes. Adjusting for the nonrecurring recovery, 1995 net income is $642 thousand or 6.6% higher than net income for 1994. The performance ratios also increased after adjusting for the nonrecurring recovery. The return on average assets and average equity increased from 1.16% to 1.21% and from 9.99% to 10.20%, respectively.
Total interest income, on a tax equivalent basis was $68.7 million, up $9.4 million, or 15.9% from 1994. The increase is due primarily to increases in interest income on loans and taxable investment securities which were rate driven. The yield on total earning assets increased from 8.0% to 8.8%. This was accomplished by moving balances from lower yielding asset categories to higher earning loans.
Total interest expense was $28.1 million, up $6.5 million, or 30.2%. Time deposits experienced increases both in average balance and in rate paid accounting for $5.5 million of the increase in total interest expense.
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased 7.7% to $40.6 million. The growth was the result of a $34.5 million increase in average earning assets and an 85 basis point increase in the average rate earned on earning assets. The spread between rates earned and paid was 4.45%, unchanged from 1994, while the net interest margin increased 3% from 5.06% to 5.21%.
Noninterest income increased $212 thousand to $11.7 million in 1995. After considering that in 1994, non interest income was inflated by a $758 thousand nonrecurring recovery, the actual increase would have been $970 thousand. The majority of the improvement came from increased non-sufficient funds and overdraft fees.
Noninterest expense increased $1.3 million or 4.3% despite the significant reduction in FDIC insurance premiums. The $686 thousand decrease in deposit insurance expense was offset by an $835 thousand increase in salaries and employee benefits. Equipment expenses and expenses related to other real estate owned all experienced modest increases.
Income tax expense was $4.4 million in 1995, up $108 thousand from 1994, which correlates to the increase in income before taxes. The effective tax rate for 1995 was 29.6% compared to 29.4% in 1994.
On December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan losses totaled $8.5 million or 1.6% of net loans, down slightly from 1994. Nonperforming assets declined $2 million or 21.7% to $7 million at December 31, 1995. Since 1991, nonperforming assets have decreased $16 million or 69.6%.
Average assets, average earning assets, average loans, and average deposits increased between 1995 and 1994 by 2.7%, 4.6%, 5.7% and 3.1%, respectively.
Shareholders' equity was $105 million on December 31, 1995, an increase of $5 million or 4.9% from 1994.

Report of Independent Accountants
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, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. 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, 1996 and 1995 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1995 the Company changed its method of accounting for impaired loans. Also, as discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain investments in debt and equity securities.

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:
			Basis of Presentation and Organization 			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 Company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
			The Company is predominantly engaged in the business of receiving deposits from and making real estate, commercial and consumer loans to businesses and consumers in Central Kentucky.
			The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at 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. 			 			Reclassifications 			Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements presented for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 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 			All investments in debt securities and all investments in equity securities are 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 them 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 net as a separate component of shareholders' 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.
			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 and held for sale included with other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets includes properties acquired by the Company through actual loan foreclosures. Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is the amount that the Company could reasonably expect to receive in a current sale between a willing buyer and a willing seller, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value of assets is measured by the market value based on comporable sales. Any reduction to fair value from the fair value recorded at the time of acquisition is accounted for as a valuation reserve.
			Deferred Income Taxes 			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.
			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 regulatory reserve requirements specified by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The balance requirement was $9,990,000 at December 31, 1996 and $8,988,000 at December 31, 1995.
3.	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". SFAS No. 115 requires investments in equity securities that have a readily determinable fair value and investments in debt securities to be classified into three categories, as follows: held to maturity debt securities, trading securities, and available for sale securities. 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 shareholders' equity by $182,000 (net of tax effect of $94,000). There was no impact on the Company's consolidated net income as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 115.
The following summarizes the amortized cost and estimated fair values of the securities portfolio at December 31, 1996. The summary is divided into available for sale and held to maturity securities.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of the securities portfolio at December 31, 1996, by contractual maturity, are shown below. The summary is divided into available for sale and held to maturity securities.
									 	Available for Sale						Held to Maturity 								 Amortized 		Estimated 	 Amortized Estimated December 31, 1996 (In thousands) 	Cost	 	 	Fair Value 	Cost			 Fair Value

			 						$109,840	 			$109,291 		$111,609 		$111,728
Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
Proceeds from sales and maturities of investments in debt securities during 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $171,347,000, $136,752,000, and $107,053,000, respectively. Gross gains of $10,000, $2,000, and $3,000 and gross losses of $0, $0, and $77,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, were realized on those sales and maturities.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities which were pledged as collateral for public deposits, treasury deposits, trust funds, customer repurchase agreements, and other purposes as required by law at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are shown below. The securities are divided into available for sale and held to maturity.

Loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders, including loans to affiliated companies of which directors, executive officers and principal shareholders are principal owners, and loans to members of the immediate family of such persons, were approximately $13,277,000 and $12,602,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. An analysis of the activity with respect to these loans follows:
(In thousands)

Balance, December 31, 1996			 			$13,277
5.	Allowance for Loan Losses On January 1, 1995, the Company implemented SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures" which amends SFAS No. 114. The two Statements address the following:
			1.	The accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan.
			2.	The accounting by creditors for loans that are restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms of a receivable.
			3.	The elimination of the categories of loans classified as in-substance foreclosures.
SFAS No. 114 requires the measurement of impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, it may be measured on the fair market value of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. 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 the provision for loan loss. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not result in additional provisions for loan losses or changes in previously reported net earnings due to the fact that the Company's existing methods of measuring laon impairment are consistent with the methods prescribed in the Statement.
SFAS No. 114 does not apply to large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment. The Company has identified these loans as credit card loans, home mortgages, and all other loans less than $500,000.
The factors considered by management in determining if a loan is impaired include, but are not limited to, the following: length of delinquency, past history with the borrower, financial condition of the borrower, ability of the borrower to repay the debt based upon cash flow information, intentions of the borrower, and value of the collateral. Impairment is not necessarily determined by a minimum delay in payment. A minimum delay in payment occurs when the exact terms of the loan agreement have not been met by the borrower; however, the Company believes that contractual interest and principal payments will still be received. These loans are considered non-accrual loans because the timing of interest payments is unknown; however, it is still likely that interest will be received. Payments received while a loan is on non-accrual status are applied against principal only.
All of the loans of the Company to which SFAS No. 114 applies are classified as commercial loans. Due to the size of the Company and the few loans that meet the criteria for application of SFAS No. 114, no further risk classification is necessary. On December 31, 1996 and 1995, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has been recognized in accordance with the SFAS No. 114 totaled $2,847,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, and the total allowance related to such loans was $922,000 and $785,000. Of the $2,847,000 recorded investment at December 31, 1996, $1.192,000 was measured using the present value of future cash flows method and $1,655,000 was measured using the fair value of collateral method. Of the $2,000,000 recorded investment at December 31, 1995, $1,100,000 was measured using the present value of future cash flows method and $900,000 was measured using the fair value of collateral method. The recorded investment averaged $2,769,000 and $2,587,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The amount of interest on these loans during 1996 and 1995 was $151,000 and $113,000, respectively. If the Company had used a cash-based method of accounting for the interest on these loans, the interest earned would have been $169,000 and $114,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The Company's charge-off policy for impaired loans does not differ from the charge-off policy for loans outside the definition of SFAS No. 114. Loans that are delinquent in excess of 120 days are charged-off unless there is a valid reason for the delinquency and the borrower continues to maintain a satisfactory financial standing and/or the collateral securing the debt is of such value that any loss appears to be unlikely.

11.	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 contributes cash to the plan and Company shares are purchased with the cash in the open market. Cash contributed to the plan was $102,000, $0, and $100,000, respectively for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 1995 and 1994. No stock was contributed to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 														 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 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $897,000, $857,000, and $820,000, respectively.
12.	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 $127,000, $131,000, and $86,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. The plan is unfunded.
The following table sets forth the plan's status reconciled with the amount shown in the Company's balance sheets at December 31, 1996 and 1995.
(In thousands)			 			1996 			1995
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation Retirees and dependents	 	$2,577	 			$3,367 Fully eligible active plan participants		 		675	 			671 Other active plan participants			 	698 				684
		Total accumulated postretirement benefit obligation	 	3,950				 4,722
Unrecognized net loss				 	(866)				(1,768) Unamortized transition obligation			 	(1,623)				(1,725) Unrecognized prior service cost		 		(509) 				(551)
		Accrued postretirement benefit cost 				$ 952	 			$ 678
The components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
(In thousands)			 			1996 			1995
Service cost		 				$ 24 				$ 19 Interest on accumulated benefit obligation		 		278	 			243 Amortization of transition obligation and other			 	192	 			144
		Total				 		$494	 			$ 406
Major assumptions: 	Discount rate			 			7.5%		 		7.0%
For measurement purposes, a 10.6% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits for those below the age of 65 and 8.8% 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 effect on the amounts reported.
If the health care cost trend rate were to increase 1%, the service and interest cost would be $341,000 and the accumulated benefit obligation would be $4,458,000.
13.	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.
14.	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, 1996, were $76,087,000. 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 $5,019,000 in irrevocable letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 1996.
15.	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 more 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.
16.	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 or results of operations or cash flows, although resolution in any year or quarter could be material for that period.
17.	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, 1996, combined retained earnings of the subsidiary banks were approximately $39,378,000 of which $7,742,000 is available for the payment of dividends in 1997 without obtaining prior approval from bank regulatory agencies.
18.	Effect of Implementing SFAS No. 125 In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 125 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". Under this standard, accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities is based on control. After a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.
This statement applies prospectively in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1996. The Company does not expect the implementation of this statement to have a material affect on the 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 approximate 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 fair 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:

Item 9

Item 9 - Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On February 28, 1997, Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the "Registrant") engaged the accounting firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as principal accountants, subject to the approval of the Registrant's shareholders. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP replaces Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. (the "Former Accountant") as of the date reported above. The change in the Registrant's independent public accountants was the result of a formal proposal process involving several accounting firms. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Registrant's Board of Directors.
During the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim prior to February 28, 1997, there have been no disagreements with the Former Accountant on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure or any reportable events.
The Former Accountants report on the consolidated financial statements for the past two years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
None of the following events has occurred within the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years or the subsequent interim period preceding the change in accountants:
(A)	the Former Accountant has not advised the Registrant that the internal controls necessary for the Registrant to develop reliable financial statements do not exist; (B)	the Former Accountant has not advised the Registrant that information had come to the accountant's attention that led it to no longer be able to rely on management's representations, or that made it unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management; (C)	(1) the Former Accountant has not advised the Registrant of the need to expand significantly the scope of its audit, or that information has come to the accountant's attention that if further investigated could (i) materially impact the fairness or reliability of either a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal periods subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements covered by an audit report (including information that could prevent it from rendering an unqualified report on those financial statements), or (ii) cause it to be unwilling to rely on management's representations or be associated with the Registrant's financial statements, and (2) due to the accountant's dismissal, or for any other reason, the accountant did not so expand the scope of its audit or conduct such further investigations; or (D)	(1) the Former Accountant has not advised the Registrant that information has come to the accountant's attention that it concluded materially impacts the fairness or reliability or either (i) a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or (ii) the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal periods subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements issued or to be issued covered by an audit report (including information that, unless resolved to the accountant's satisfaction, would prevent it from rendering an unqualified audit report on those financial statements), and (2) due to the accountant's dismissal, or for any other reason, the issue has not been resolved to the accountant's satisfaction prior to its dismissal.
During the two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period prior to engaging KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, neither the Registrant, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted KPMG Peat Marwick LLP regarding (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's financial statements, where either a written report was provided to the Registrant or oral advice was provided, that KPMG Peat Marwick LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph 304(a)(l)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph 304(a)(l)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Registrant has requested that the Former Accountant furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the Former Accountant's letter to the SEC dated March 5, 1997 is attached as an exhibit to this report.
