Item 8.01 Other Events.
| On September 10, 2004, First Security Bancorp, Inc. sold certain assets used in the mortgage banking operations it conducted under the name First Security Mortgage Company at 190 W. Lowry Lane, Suite 120, Lexington, Kentucky, to First Mortgage Company, LLC, a limited liability company organized by Brady Ratliff. The aggregate sales price was approximately $105,200, subject to decrease for the income (and increase for any losses) incurred in that business during the period from September 1, 2004 to September 10, 2004. First Security incurred a loss on the transaction of approximately $100,000. |
| The assets sold include the lease for that location, furniture, fixtures and equipment owned and leased at that location, and all pending residential mortgage loan applications. Upon the closing, all of the employees of First Security principally employed in its mortgage lending division (11 total) became employees of the purchaser. |
| First Security acquired the mortgage banking operations that it sold in the transaction in June 2002 from First Mortgage Company, Inc., of which Mr. Ratliff was a principal. From June 2002 until the closing of the sale on September 10, 2004, Mr. Ratliff was employed by First Security pursuant to an employment agreement, which was terminated effective with the closing of the sale transaction on September 10, 2004. |
| Following the closing, First Security will continue to offer residential mortgages to its customers through its offices and through referrals to various mortgage companies, including First Mortgage Company, LLC. |
