Organization
------------
Farmers Capital Bank Corporation (the "Registrant" or the "Company") is a
financial holding company. The Registrant was originally formed as a bank
holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, on
October 28, 1982 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. During 2000,
the Registrant elected to change from a bank holding company to a financial
holding company (see discussion in Supervision and Regulation section of this
report). The Registrant's subsidiaries provide a wide range of banking and
bank-related services to customers throughout Kentucky. The bank subsidiaries
owned by the Registrant include Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co. ("Farmers
Bank"), Frankfort, Kentucky; United Bank & Trust Co. ("United Bank"),
Versailles, Kentucky; Lawrenceburg National Bank ("Lawrenceburg Bank"),
Harrodsburg, Kentucky; First Citizens Bank, Shepherdsville, Kentucky; Farmers
Bank and Trust Company ("Farmers Georgetown Bank") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Community Development of Kentucky, Inc. ("CDK, Inc."), Georgetown,
Kentucky; and Kentucky Banking Centers, Inc. ("Ky. Banking Centers"), Glasgow,
Kentucky. The Registrant also owns FCB Services, Inc., ("FCB Services"), a
nonbank data processing subsidiary located in Frankfort, Kentucky and Kentucky
General Life Insurance Company, Inc., ("Kentucky General"), a nonbank insurance
agency subsidiary located in Frankfort, Kentucky. The Registrant provides a
broad range of financial services to individuals, corporations, and others
through its 23 banking locations throughout Central Kentucky. These services
primarily include the activities of lending and leasing, receiving deposits,
providing cash management services, safe deposit box rental, and trust
activities. Operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated at the
subsidiary level. The Registrant's chief decision makers monitor the results of
the various banking products and services of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, all
of the Registrant's operations are considered by management to be aggregated in
one reportable operating segment: commercial and retail banking. As of December
31, 2002, the Registrant had $1.3 billion in consolidated assets.

Lending
-------
A significant part of the Company's operating activities include originating
loans, approximately 70% of which are secured by real estate at December 31,
2002. Real estate lending primarily includes loans secured by owner-occupied
one-to-four family residential properties as well as commercial real estate
mortgage loans to developers and owners of other commercial real estate. Real
estate lending primarily includes both variable and adjustable rate products.
Loan rates on variable rate loans generally adjust upward or downward
immediately based on changes in the loan's index, normally prime rate as
published in the Wall Street Journal. Rates on adjustable rate loans move upward
or downward after an initial fixed term of normally 1, 3, or 5 years. However,
rate adjustments on adjustable rate loans are made annually after the initial
fixed term expires and are indexed primarily to shorter-term Treasury indexes.
Generally, variable and adjustable rate loans contain provisions that cap annual
increases at a maximum of 100 basis points with lifetime caps and floors of up
to 600 basis points. The Registrant also makes fixed rate commercial real estate
loans to a lesser extent with repayment terms generally not exceeding 12 months.
The Registrant's subsidiary banks make first and second residential mortgage
loans secured by real estate not to exceed 90% loan to value without seeking
third party guarantees. Commercial real estate loans are made primarily to small
and mid-sized businesses, secured by 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 and include lending across a diverse
range of business types. Commercial lending and real estate construction
lending, including commercial leasing, generally includes a higher degree of
credit risk than other loans, such as residential mortgage loans. Commercial
loans, like other loans, are evaluated at the time of approval to determine the
adequacy of repayment sources and collateral requirements. Collateral
requirements vary to some degree among borrowers and depend on the borrowers
financial strength, the terms and amount of the loan, and collateral available
to secure the loan. Credit risk results from the decreased ability or
willingness to pay by a borrower. Credit risk also results when a liquidation of
collateral occurs and there is a shortfall in collateral value as compared to a
loans outstanding balance. For construction loans, inaccurate initial estimates
of a property's value could lead to a property having a value that is
insufficient to satisfy full payment of the amount of funds advanced for the
property. Secured and unsecured consumer loans generally are made for
automobiles, boats, and other motor vehicles. In most cases loans are restricted
to the subsidiaries' general market area.
Supervision and Regulation
--------------------------
The Registrant originally registered as a bank holding company and was
restricted to those activities permissible under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended ("BHC Act"). The BHC Act provides for regulation, supervision,
and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB").
On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
a law that addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and
accounting oversight, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure
of corporate information. The Nasdaq Stock Market has also proposed corporate
governance rules that were presented to the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") for review and approval. The proposed changes, which have various
implementation dates, are intended to allow shareholders to more easily and
efficiently monitor the performance of companies and directors.
Effective August 29, 2002, as directed by Section 302(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer are each
required to certify that the Company's Quarterly and Annual Reports do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules have several
requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible
for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the
Company's internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to the Company's
auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about the Company's
internal controls; and they have included information in the Company's Quarterly
and Annual Reports about their evaluation and whether there have been
significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 ("GLB Act") signed into law in 1999 had a
significant effect on Federal banking laws applicable to the Registrant and its
subsidiary banks. The GLB Act permitted the Registrant to elect to become a
financial holding company. The Registrant elected this option on June 9, 2000.
In order to be granted status as a financial holding company, a bank holding
company and each of its subsidiary depository institutions must be well
capitalized, well managed, and have achieved at least a satisfactory record of
meeting community credit needs at its most recent Community Reinvestment Act
("CRA") examination. A financial holding company is subject to corrective action
by the FRB if any depository institution controlled by the company fails to
maintain both well capitalized and well managed status. The GLB Act places
limitations on a financial holding company's ability to engage in new financial
activities and affiliations if the company fails to maintain its satisfactory
CRA rating.
The GLB Act amended the BHC Act to allow a bank holding company that has elected
financial holding company status to engage in an expanded list of permissible
activities, including insurance and securities underwriting, among others. The
GLB Act includes a system of functional regulation in which the FRB serves as
the umbrella regulator of the holding company. The FRB regulates the
Registrant's business activities in a variety of ways including, but not limited
to, requirements on acquiring control of other banks and bank holding companies,
limitations on activities and investments, and regulatory capital requirements.
State and other federal financial regulators, such as the KDFI, OCC, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), and the SEC also regulate either
affiliates of the holding company or the holding company itself.
The Registrant's state bank subsidiaries are subject to state banking law and
regulation and periodic examinations by the KDFI. Lawrenceburg Bank, a national
bank, is subject to similar regulation and supervision by the OCC under the
National Banking Act and the Federal Reserve System under the Federal Reserve
Act. Other regulations that apply to the Registrant's bank subsidiaries include,
but are not limited to, insurance of deposit accounts, capital ratios, payment
of dividends, liquidity requirements, the nature and amount of investments that
can be made, transactions with affiliates, community and consumer lending, and
internal policies and control.
The operations of the Registrant and its subsidiary banks are also affected by
other banking legislation and policies and practices of various regulatory
authorities. Such legislation and policies include statutory maximum rates on
loans, reserve requirements, domestic monetary and fiscal policy, and
limitations on the kinds of services that may be offered. During 2000, the State
Wide Branching Bill became effective, which allows banks to open a branch
anywhere in the state of Kentucky. Previously, banks were limited to the county
where the main office was located.
The BHC 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 an out of state bank.
The GLB Act includes various extensive customer privacy protection provisions.
The GLB Act requires a financial institution to clearly disclose its privacy
policy to its customers regarding the sharing of non-public personal information
with affiliates and third parties. The financial institution's privacy policy
must be disclosed at the time a customer relationship is established and not
less than annually thereafter.
The Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 provides that a
holding company's controlled insured depository institutions are liable for any
loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default of, or any FDIC
assisted transaction involving, an affiliated insured bank.
Deposits of the Registrant's subsidiary banks are insured by the FDIC's Bank
Insurance Fund, which subjects the banks to regulation and examination under the
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA"), the
FDIC established 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 become undercapitalized.
The purpose of the 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 that will benefit the community.
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 Registrant 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, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina 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 charged on loans and deposits.
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
material 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, 2002, the Registrant and its subsidiaries had 458 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. Employees are not represented by a union. Management and employee
relations are good.
During 1997, the Registrant's Board of Directors approved its Stock Option Plan
("Plan"), which grants certain eligible employees the option to purchase a
limited number of the Registrant's common stock. The Plan specifies the
conditions and terms that the grantee must meet in order to exercise the
options. The Registrant's shareholders at its annual meeting held on May 12,
1998 subsequently ratified the Plan.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------
Farmers Bank was named, on September 10, 1992, as a defendant in Case No.
92CIO5734 in Jefferson Circuit Court, Louisville, Kentucky, Earl H. Shilling et
al. v. Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company. Details of this case have been
disclosed in previous Annual Reports on Form 10-K and subsequent 10-Q filings.
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 and County of Jefferson,
Kentucky, Nursing Home Improvement Revenue Bonds (Filson Care Home Project)
Series 1986B (collectively "the Bonds"). The plaintiffs alleged that the class
had been damaged through a reduction in the value of the Bonds and a loss of
interest on the Bonds because of the actions of the Bank in its capacity as
indenture trustee for the Bondholders. The plaintiffs demanded compensatory and
punitive damages.
On July 6, 1993, the Court denied the plaintiffs' motion to certify the case as
a class action. Subsequently, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to join
additional Bondholders as plaintiffs. The plaintiffs claimed to hold Bonds in
the aggregate principal amount of $480,000. Before trial, the Court dismissed
thirty-nine of the plaintiffs because they were unable or unwilling to present
testimony to support their claims.
The case was tried to a jury beginning on March 28, 2000 on the claims of four
plaintiffs holding Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $80,000. The Court
granted a directed verdict in favor of the Bank on the plaintiffs' claim that
the Bank had engaged in commercial bribery and that the legal fees that were
paid by the Bank should be disgorged because of an alleged conflict of interest
of the Bank's counsel. The jury found for the plaintiffs on the claim that the
Bank had breached its fiduciary duty and awarded the plaintiffs $99,875 in
compensatory damages and $600,000 in punitive damages.
The Bank filed a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, in the
alternative, for a new trial, asserting that the jury's verdict that the Bank
breached its fiduciary duty was not supported by sufficient evidence, that the
jury's award of damages was speculative and was not supported by the evidence,
and that the jury's award of punitive damages was not supported by sufficient
evidence. The Bank also asserted that a new trial was warranted because of the
erroneous admission of evidence concerning legal fees paid by the Bank.
Plaintiffs filed an appeal contending that the denial of class certification was
erroneous, that the individual plaintiffs should not have been dismissed from
the lawsuit, that certain evidence was erroneously excluded, and that the
directed verdict regarding the disgorgement of legal fees and the commercial
bribery claims was erroneous. On August 1, 2000, the Kentucky Court of Appeals
dismissed the appeal as having been prematurely filed.
On January 3, 2001, the Jefferson Circuit Court entered judgment in favor of the
Bank notwithstanding the jury's verdict in favor of the plaintiffs, holding that
the Bank reasonably relied in good faith on the advice of its counsel, that
there was no evidence that the Bank breached its fiduciary duty to the
plaintiffs, and that there was no evidence that the Bank caused the plaintiffs'
losses.
On January 31, 2001, the plaintiff bondholders appealed, and on February 9,
2001, defendant Bank cross-appealed, the judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court
to the Kentucky Court of Appeals.
In their appeal, the Bondholders claim that the trial court's denial of class
certification was erroneous, that certain individual plaintiffs should not have
been dismissed from the lawsuit, that the trial court erroneously directed a
verdict against them on the issue of a conflict of interest, and that the
judgment notwithstanding the verdict was erroneously granted because the
evidence was sufficient to support the jury's verdict.
In its cross-appeal, the Bank claims that the trial court erroneously bifurcated
the trial on the issue of liability and damages, that certain witnesses should
have been excluded from the trial, that the Bank should have been granted
summary judgment, and that certain evidence and testimony regarding attorneys'
fees should have been excluded.
On May 10, 2002, the Kentucky Court of Appeals affirmed the Jefferson Circuit
Court's judgment in favor of the Bank. The plaintiff bondholders filed a motion
for discretionary review to the Kentucky Supreme Court on June 7, 2002. It is
not possible at this stage of the proceedings to make any prediction as to the
outcome, however the Supreme Court must grant the plaintiff bondholders' motion
to review the appeal, or the affirmed judgment in favor of the Bank will become
the final outcome of the case.
As of December 31, 2002, there were various other pending legal actions and
proceedings against the Company, including these above, arising from the normal
course of business and in which claims for damages are asserted. Management,
after discussion with legal counsel, believes that these actions are without
merit and that the ultimate liability resulting from these legal actions and
proceedings, if any, will not have a material adverse effect upon the
consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Disclosure
--------------------
On October 28, 2002, the Audit Committee of the Registrant determined and
approved the replacement of KPMG LLP ("KPMG") with Crowe, Chizek, and Company
LLP ("Crowe Chizek") as its independent accountants. KPMG's service will
terminate at the completion of its audit and issuance of its related report on
the Registrant's financial statements to be filed on Form 10-K for the
Registrant's 2002 fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. The change in the
Registrant's independent accountants was the result of a competitive bidding
process involving several accounting firms.
In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2001,
and the subsequent interim period through October 28, 2002, there have been no
disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure or any reportable
events. KPMG's audit reports on the financial statements of the Registrant as of
and for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 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 reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K occurred within the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years and the
subsequent interim period through October 28, 2002.
During the two most recent fiscal years, and any subsequent interim period prior
to engaging Crowe Chizek, neither the Registrant, nor anyone on its behalf,
consulted Crowe Chizek 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 Crowe Chizek 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)(1)(iv) of Regulation
S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in
paragraph 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Registrant has requested that KPMG furnish it with a letter addressed to the
SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of KPMG's letter
to the SEC dated November 4, 2002 is attached as an exhibit to this report.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are currently principal accountants for Farmers Capital Bank Corporation and,
under the date of January 15, 2002, we reported on the consolidated financial
statements of Farmers Capital Bank Corporation as of and for the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000. On October 28, 2002, we were notified that Farmers
Capital Bank Corporation engaged Crowe, Chizek, and Company LLP as its principal
accountant for the year ending December 31, 2003 and that the auditor-client
relationship with KPMG LLP will cease upon completion of the audit of Farmers
Capital Bank Corporation's consolidated financial statements as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2002, and the issuance of our report thereon.
We have read Farmers Capital Bank Corporation's statements included under Item 4
of its Form 8-K dated October 28, 2002, and we agree with such statements,
except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with Farmers Capital
Bank Corporation's statement that the change was determined and approved by the
Audit Committee, and we are not in a position to agree or disagree with Farmers
Capital Bank Corporation's stated reason for changing principal accountants, and
we are not in a position to agree or disagree with Farmers Capital Bank
Corporation's statement that Crowe, Chizek, and Company LLP was not engaged
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 Farmers Capital Bank Corporation's financial statements,
where either a written report was provided to Farmers Capital Bank Corporation
or oral advice was provided, that Crowe, Chizek, and Company LLP concluded was
an important factor considered by Farmers Capital Bank Corporation 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
