PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. ("Company" or "Kentucky") is a Kentucky
corporation organized in 1981 and a bank and savings and loan holding
company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended ("BHCA") and the Home Owners Loan Act of 1933, as amended
("HOLA").
The Company conducts business in the state of Kentucky through one
banking subsidiary, Kentucky Bank. Kentucky Bank is a commercial bank
and trust company organized under the laws of Kentucky. Kentucky Bank
has its main office in Paris (Bourbon County), with additional offices
in Paris, North Middletown (Bourbon County), Winchester (Clark County),
Cynthiana (Harrison County), Nicholasville (Jessamine County), Wilmore
(Jessamine County), Georgetown (Scott County), and Versailles (Woodford
County). The deposits of Kentucky Bank are insured up to prescribed
limits by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), both of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"). Kentucky Bank is engaged in general full-service
commercial and consumer banking. Kentucky Bank makes commercial,
agricultural and real estate loans to its commercial customers, with
emphasis on small-to-medium-sized industrial, service and agricultural
businesses. Kentucky Bank makes residential mortgage, installment and
other loans to its individual and other non-commercial customers.
Kentucky Bank also offers its customers the opportunity to obtain a
credit card. Kentucky Bank offers its customers a variety of other
services, including checking, savings, money market accounts,
certificates of deposits, safe deposit facilities and other consumer-
oriented financial services. Kentucky Bank has Internet banking,
including bill payment available to its customers at www.kybank.com.
Through its Wealth Management Department, Kentucky Bank provides
brokerage services, annuities, life and long term care insurance,
personal trust and agency services (including management agency
services).
Competition
The Company and its subsidiary face vigorous competition from a number
of sources, including other bank holding companies and commercial banks,
consumer finance companies, thrift institutions, other financial
institutions and financial intermediaries. In addition to commercial
banks, savings and loan associations, savings banks and credit unions
actively compete to provide a wide variety of banking services.
Mortgage banking firms, finance companies, insurance companies,
brokerage companies, financial affiliates of industrial companies and
government agencies provide additional competition for loans and for
many other financial services. The subsidiary also currently competes
for interest-bearing funds with a number of other financial
intermediaries, including brokerage firms and mutual funds, which offer
a diverse range of investment alternatives. Some of the Company's
competitors are not subject to the same degree of regulatory review and
restrictions that apply to the Company and its subsidiary bank. In
addition, the Company must compete with much larger financial
institutions that have greater financial resources than the Company.
Supervision and Regulation
As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the regulation and
supervision of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company's subsidiary is
subject to supervision and regulation by applicable state and federal
banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Kentucky Office of Financial
Institutions. The subsidiary is also subject to various requirements
and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to
maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and
amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be
charged thereon, and limitations on the types of investments that may be
made and the types of services that may be offered. In addition to the
impact of regulation, the subsidiary is affected significantly by the
actions of the Federal Reserve Board as it attempts to control the money
supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy.
There are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank
holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by
federal law and regulatory policy that are designed to reduce potential
loss exposure to the depositors of such depository institutions and to
the FDIC insurance funds in the event the depository institution becomes
in danger of default or is in default. For example, under a policy of
the Federal Reserve Board with respect to bank holding company
operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of
financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and commit
resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might
not do so absent such policy. In addition, the "cross-guarantee"
provisions of federal law require insured depository institutions under
common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or reasonably
anticipated as a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured
depository institution or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to a
commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of default.
The federal banking agencies have broad powers under current federal law
to take prompt corrective action to resolve problems of insured
depository institutions. The extent of these powers depends upon
whether the institutions in question are "well capitalized", "adequately
capitalized", "undercapitalized", "significantly undercapitalized" or
"critically undercapitalized", as such terms are defined under uniform
regulation defining such capital levels issued by each of the federal
banking agencies.
In addition to the laws and regulations discussed above, Kentucky Bank
is also subject to certain consumer laws and regulations that are
designed to protect consumers in transactions with banks. While the list
set forth herein is not exhaustive, these laws and regulations include
the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Funds
Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Fair
Housing Act and the Fair and Accurate Transactions Act, among others.
These laws and regulations mandate certain disclosure requirements and
regulate the manner in which financial institutions must deal with
clients when taking deposits or making loans. These laws also limit
Kentucky Bank's ability to share information with affiliated and
unaffiliated entities. The bank must comply with the applicable
provisions of these consumer protection laws and regulations as part of
its ongoing business operations.
There are various legal and regulatory limits on the extent to which the
Company's subsidiary bank may pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to
the Company. In addition, federal and state regulatory agencies also
have the authority to prevent a bank or bank holding company from paying
a dividend or engaging in any other activity that, in the opinion of the
agency, would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Dividends paid
by the subsidiary bank have provided substantially all of the Company's
operating funds, and this may reasonably be expected to continue for the
foreseeable future.
Employees
At December 31, 2004, the number of full time equivalent employees of
the Company was 167.
Item 2. Properties
The main banking office of Kentucky Bank, which also serves as the
principal office of Kentucky Bancshares, Inc., is located at Fourth and
Main Streets, Paris, Kentucky 40361. In addition, Kentucky Bank serves
customer needs at 11 other locations. All locations offer a full range
of banking services. Kentucky Bank owns all of the properties at which
it conducts its business. The Company owns approximately 76,000 square
feet of office space.
Note 5 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in
this report contains additional information relating to amounts invested
in premises and equipment.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiary are from time to time involved in routine
legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business that, in
the aggregate, management believes will not have a material impact on
the Company's financial condition and results of operation.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
Not Applicable.

outstanding and approximately 482 holders of record of its Common Stock.
On October 25, 2000, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
approved a stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to
purchase up to 100,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. On
November 11, 2002, the Board of Directors approved and authorized the
Company's repurchase of an additional 100,000 shares. In August 2004,
the Board of Directors approved and the Company repurchased 122,302
shares from a third-party shareholder at a price of $28 per share.
These shares were outside of the previously mentioned stock repurchase
programs. Shares will be purchased from time to time in the open
market depending on market prices and other considerations. Through
December 31, 2004, 84,333 shares have been purchased, with the most
recent share repurchase under the Board-approved stock repurchase
program having occurred on February 5, 2003.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and accompanying notes included as Exhibit 13.
When necessary, reclassifications have been made to prior years' data
throughout the following discussion and analysis for purposes of
comparability with 2004 data.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its
subsidiary are in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and conform to general practices within
the banking industry. Significant accounting policies are listed in
Note 1 in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements". Critical
accounting and reporting policies include accounting for loans and
the allowance for loan losses. Different assumptions in the
application of these policies could result in material changes in the
consolidated financial position or consolidated results of
operations.
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an
allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is recognized on the
accrual basis, except for those loans on the nonaccrual status.
Interest income received on such loans is accounted for on the cash
basis or cost recovery method. The allowance for loan losses is a
valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Management
estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss
experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about
specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic
conditions, and other factors. The accounting policies relating to
the allowance for loan losses involve the use of estimates and
require significant judgments to be made by management.
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion contains forward-looking statements under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and
uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore,
there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included
herein will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to: economic conditions (both
generally and more specifically in the markets, including the tobacco
market, in which the Company and its bank operate); competition for the
Company's customers from other providers of financial and mortgage
services; government legislation, regulation and monetary policy (which
changes from time to time and over which the Company has no control);
changes in interest rates (both generally and more specifically mortgage
interest rates); material unforeseen changes in the liquidity, results
of operations, or financial condition of the Company's customers; and
other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, all of which are difficult to predict and many of
which are beyond the control of the Company. The Company undertakes no
obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events.
Overview
Net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $5.8 million, or
$2.09 per common share compared to $4.2 million, or $1.52 for 2003 and
$5.9 million, or $2.13 for 2002. Earnings per share assuming dilution
were $2.07, $1.50 and $2.10 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For
2004, net income increased $1.5 million, or 36%. Net interest income
increased $2.3 million, the loan loss provision decreased $460 thousand,
other income increased $89 thousand, while other expenses increased $584
thousand. Management implemented various revenue improvement and cost
controlling measures with the continuing expectation of improving net
income.
During 2003, net income decreased $1.7 million, down 28%. Net interest
income decreased $967 thousand, the loan loss provision increased $96
thousand, while other income increased $118 thousand and other expenses
increased $1.7 million. During 2003, the Company completed a strategic
acquisition to strengthen its business and grow its customer base. In
November 2003, the Company purchased Kentucky First Bancorp, Inc.
(Kentucky First) and its subsidiary, First Federal Savings Bank (First
Federal) of Cynthiana. Lack of loan demand, tightening margins and one
time expenses related to closing the original leased facility in
Georgetown and the merger of Kentucky First adversely affected 2003
earnings.
Return on average equity was 12.6% in 2004 compared to 9.3% in 2003 and
14.3% in 2002. Return on average assets was 1.11% in 2004 compared to
1.00% in 2003 and 1.48% in 2002.
Non-performing loans as of a percentage of loans (including held for
sale) were 0.58%, 0.82% and 0.83% as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the Company's largest source of revenue, on a tax
equivalent basis decreased from $15.9 million in 2002 to $15.1 million
in 2003 but increased to $17.4 million in 2004. The taxable equivalent
adjustment (nontaxable interest income on state and municipal
obligations net of the related non-deductible portion of interest
expense) is based on our Federal income tax rate of 34%.
Average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities both increased
from 2003 to 2004. Average earning assets increased $87 million, or
22%. Investment securities increased $43 million primarily due to the
addition of $30 million leverage transactions, including $20 million of
securities purchased and funded by repurchase agreements. Loans
increased $48 million as a result of improved loan demand and the
Cynthiana acquisition in November 2003. Average interest bearing
liabilities increased $86 million, or 27% during this same period. The
Company continues to actively pursue quality loans and fund these
primarily with deposits and FHLB advances.
During the second half of 2004 rates started increasing. Bank prime
rates increased 125 basis points during this period. However, the
declining rate environment commencing in 2001 resulted in a decrease in
yields on assets and liabilities in 2002, 2003 and 2004 due to sustained
repricing opportunities. As a result of this, the tax equivalent yield
on earning assets decreased from 5.77% in 2003 to 5.47% in 2004.
The volume rate analysis that follows, during 2004, indicates that $4.5
million of the increase in interest income is attributable to the change
in volume, while the lower level of rates contributed to a decrease of
$995 thousand in interest income. This low level of rates also caused a
decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. The average rate
of these liabilities decreased from 2.49% in 2003 to 2.25% in 2004. In
addition, the change in volume contributed to an increase of $2.3
million in interest expense, while the low level of rates was
responsible for a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense. As a
result, the 2004 net interest income increase is primarily attributed to
increases in volume.
The volume rate analysis for 2003 that follows indicates that $3.5
million of the increase in interest income is attributable to the change
in volume, while the decrease in rates contributed to a decrease of $6.0
million in interest income. The rate decrease also caused a decrease in
the cost of interest bearing liabilities. The average rate of these
liabilities decreased from 3.09% in 2002 to 2.49% in 2003. Based on the
volume rate analysis that follows, the change in volume contributed to
an increase of $399 thousand to interest expense, while the decrease in
rates was responsible for a $1.9 million decrease in interest expense.
As a result, the 2003 net interest income decrease is attributed to
increases in volume reduced by the negative impact of decreases in
rates. In spite of the positive impact on net interest income that may
result from the increasing rate environment beginning in 2004 and
continuing in 2005, competitive pressures on interest rates will
continue and are likely to result in tighter net interest margins.
The accompanying analysis of changes in net interest income in the
following table shows the relationships of the volume and rate portions
of these changes in 2004 and 2003. Changes in interest income and
expenses due to both rate and volume are allocated on a pro rata basis.

Noninterest Income and Expenses
Noninterest income was $6.8 million in 2004 compared to $6.7 million in
2003 and $6.6 million in 2002. The 2004 and 2003 increase is mainly a
result of increased service charges.
Securities gains were $289 thousand in 2004, $139 thousand in 2003 and
$219 thousand in 2002. The gains in 2004 were primarily as result of
the Company taking advantage of the inverse relationship of interest
rates and market values, and municipal securities being called at
premiums before their maturities. In addition, U. S. Treasury
securities were sold before maturity to recognize some gains and extend
out the yield curve.
Gains on loans sold were $376 thousand, $853 thousand and $948 thousand
in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Loans held for sale are generally
sold after closing to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.
During 2004, the loan service fee income increased $4 thousand, compared
to an increase of $14 thousand in 2003. The sales of loans were $30
million, $37 million and $41 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The volume of loan originations is inverse to rate
changes. The low rate environment during 2003 and 2002 favorably
impacted our mortgage loan originations. The volume of loan
originations during 2004 decreased to $22 million from $43 million in
2003.
Other noninterest income excluding security net gains and gain on sale
of mortgage loans was $6.1 million in 2004, $5.7 million in 2003 and
$5.4 million in 2002. Service charge income has been a big contributor
to this increase in income over this three-year period. Overdraft
income increased $336 thousand in 2004 and $195 thousand in 2003,
principally the result of increases in deposits and implementation of a
new "Kentucky Courtesy" overdraft in the last quarter of 2000. Other
income increased from $1.0 million in 2002 to $1.1 million in 2003 to
$1.2 million in 2004.
Noninterest expense increased $584 thousand in 2004 to $14.8 million,
and increased $1.8 million in 2003 to $14.2 million from $12.4 million
in 2002. The increases in salaries and benefits from $6.7 million in
2002 to $7.4 million in 2003 and to $8.1 million in 2004 are
attributable to normal salary and benefit increases. Bonus compensation
was $108 thousand higher in 2004 compared to 2003 and $191 thousand
lower in 2003 compared to 2002. The 2004 increase is mainly a result of
improved net income, while the 2003 decrease is mainly a result of lower
net income. Occupancy expense increased $211 thousand, or 10% in 2004
to $2.3 million and increased $136 thousand, or 7% in 2003 to $2.0
million. The Company completed its construction of a new full service
facility in Cynthiana in October 2001. Since 1999, 3 new facilities
have been constructed and 2 facilities have been substantially
renovated. In 2001, land was purchased in Georgetown to construct a
full service facility, and relocate one of our branches in Georgetown,
and this facility was opened in March 2003. As part of this relocation,
the Company incurred a one time expense of $163 thousand in 2003 for the
loss on the leased premises. This overall improvement of our facilities
has led to the increase in occupancy expenses. The largest expense,
depreciation, declined slightly from $990 thousand in 2002, to $961
thousand in 2003 and increased to $994 thousand in 2004. Other
noninterest expense increased from $3.8 million in 2002 to $4.8 million
in 2003 and decreased to $4.4 million in 2004. The increase in 2003 and
subsequent decrease in 2004 is mainly from the legal and professional
expenses in 2003 related to the merger. Of the 2003 increase, $350
thousand is attributable to legal and professional expenses, including
merger related legal and consulting expenses amounted of $230 thousand.
In addition, mortgage servicing rights amortization increased $74
thousand, and marketing increased $69 thousand from 2002 to 2003.
The following table is a summary of noninterest income and expense for
the three-year period indicated.

Income Taxes
The Company had income tax expense of $2.2 million in 2004 and $1.5
million in 2003 and $2.5 million in 2002. This represents an effective
income tax rate of 27.8% in 2004, 25.6% in 2003 and 29.5% in 2002. The
difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate
of 34% is primarily due to tax exempt income on certain investment
securities and loans.
Balance Sheet Review
Assets grew from $501 million at December 31, 2003 to $529 million at
December 31, 2004. Loan growth was $45 million in 2004. Deposits grew
$3 million and borrowings grew $25 million. Assets at year-end 2003
totaled $501 million compared to $420 million in 2002. In 2003, loan
growth was $29 million and deposit growth was $62 million. Other
borrowings increased $19 million. The acquisition of Kentucky First
added $31 million in loans and $53 million in deposits. See Note 17 in
the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" for more details of
this business combination.
Loans
Total loans (including loans held for sale) were $358 million at
December 31, 2004 compared to $321 million at the end of 2003 and $285
million in 2002. Loan growth improved in 2004 compared to 2003. The
increase is mainly attributable to improved loan demand. During 2003,
$31.2 million was added to the loan portfolio through the Kentucky First
acquisition. This accounts for the majority of the 2003 growth. As of
the end of 2004 and compared to the prior year-end, commercial loans
increased $5.7 million, real estate construction loans increased $17.9
million, real estate mortgage loans (including loans held for sale)
increased $16.3 million, agricultural loans increased $882 thousand and
installment loans decreased $3.9 million. As of the end of 2003 and
compared to the prior year-end, commercial loans decreased $2.5 million,
real estate construction loans decreased $1.2 million, real estate
mortgage loans (including loans held for sale) increased $39.3 million,
agricultural loans increased $4.4 million and consumer loans decreased
$4.2 million.
As of December 31, 2004, the real estate mortgage portfolio comprised
67% of total loans compared to 69% in 2003. Of this, 1-4 family
residential property represented 67% in 2004 and 70% in 2003.
Agricultural loans comprised 16% in 2004 and 18% in 2003 of the loan
portfolio. Approximately 80% of the agricultural loans are secured by
real estate in 2004 compared to 78% in 2003. The remainder of the
agricultural portfolio is used to purchase livestock, equipment and
other capital improvements and for general operation of the farm.
Generally, a secured interest is obtained in the capital assets,
equipment, livestock or crops. Automobile loans account for 31% in 2004
and 36% in 2003 of the consumer loan portfolio, while the purpose of the
remainder of this portfolio is used by customers for purchasing retail
goods, home improvement or other personal reasons. The commercial loan
portfolio is mainly for capital outlays and business operation.
Collateral is requested depending on the creditworthiness of the
borrower. Unsecured loans are made to individuals or companies mainly
based on the creditworthiness of the customer. Approximately 3% of the
loan portfolio is unsecured. Management is not aware of any significant
concentrations that may cause future material risks, which may result in
significant problems with future income and capital requirements.
The following table represents a summary of the Company's loan portfolio
by category for each of the last five years. There is no concentration
of loans (greater than 5% of the loan portfolio) in any industry. The
Company has no foreign loans or highly leveraged transactions in its
loan portfolio.

Mortgage Banking
The Company has been in Mortgage Banking since the early 1980's. The
activity in origination and sale of these loans fluctuates, mainly due
to changes in interest rates. Mortgage loan originations increased from
$39 million in 2002 to $43 million in 2003, but dropped to $22 million
in 2004. The sale of loans were $41 million, $37 million and $30
million for the year 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Mortgage loans
held for sale decreased from $7.8 million at December 31, 2003 to $175
thousand at December 31, 2004. The decrease is a result of management's
decision to sell $7 million of fifteen year loans held at December 31,
2003. The volume of loan originations is inverse to rate changes. The
rate environment in 2001 was falling, and continued into 2002 and 2003
before leveling in 2004, and therefore resulted in increased loan
originations in 2003 and 2002, and decreased loan originations in 2004.
The effect of these changes was also reflected on the income statement.
As a result, the gain on sale of mortgage loans was $376 thousand in
2004 compared to $853 thousand in 2003 and $948 thousand in 2002.
The Bank has sold various loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC) while retaining the servicing rights. Gains and
losses on loan sales are recorded at the time of the cash sale, which
represents the premium or discount paid by the FHLMC. The Bank receives
a servicing fee from the FHLMC on each loan sold. Servicing rights are
capitalized based on the relative fair value of the rights and the
expected life of the loan and are included in intangible assets on the
balance sheet and expensed in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing revenues. Mortgage servicing rights were $876
thousand at December 31, 2004, $861 thousand at December 31, 2003 and
$704 thousand at December 31, 2002. Amortization of mortgage servicing
rights was $249 thousand, $224 thousand and $150 thousand for the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. See Note 4 in the
notes to consolidated financial statements included as Exhibit 13 for
additional information.
Deposits
For 2004, total deposits increased $3 million to $388 million.
Noninterest bearing deposits increased $9 million, while time deposits
of $100 thousand and over increased $10 million, and other interest
bearing deposits decreased $15 million. Public funds totaled $39
million at the end of 2004 ($37 million was interest bearing).
Total deposits increased to $385 million in 2003, up $62 million from
2002. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $11.5 million, time
deposits of $100 thousand and over increased $3.0 million, and other
interest bearing deposits increased $47.3 million. Public funds totaled
$45 million at the end of 2003 ($43 million was interest bearing). In
November 2003, $53 million in deposits were obtained through the
Kentucky First acquisition.

Borrowings
The Company utilizes both long and short term borrowing. Long term
borrowing at the Bank is mainly from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).
This borrowing is mainly used to fund longer term, fixed rate mortgages,
as part of a leverage strategy and to assist in asset/liability
management. Advances are either paid monthly or at maturity. FHLB
advances were $59.7 million at December 31, 2004. During 2004, $18.4
million of FHLB borrowing was paid, and advances were made for an
additional $25 million ($10 million for a leverage transaction). The
2004 advances were obtained mainly to fund fixed rate mortgages, as
detailed above. As of December 31, 2003, $53.2 million was borrowed
from FHLB, an increase of $1.2 million from 2002. In 2003, $10.8
million of FHLB advances were paid, and advances were made for an
additional $12 million. In August 2003, the Company formed Kentucky
Bancshares, Statutory Trust I ("Trust"). The Trust issued $7,000,000 of
fixed/variable rate trust preferred securities as part of a pooled
offering of such securities. The Company issued $7,217,000 subordinated
debentures to the Trust in exchange for the proceeds of the offering,
which debentures represent the sole asset of the Trust. The Company used
the trust preferred proceeds mainly to assist in funding the acquisition
of Kentucky First, and to supplement regulatory capital ratios. During
2004, repurchase agreements were obtained as part of a $20 million
leverage transaction. The following table depicts relevant information
concerning our short term borrowings.

Asset Quality
With respect to asset quality, management considers three categories of
assets to merit close scrutiny. These categories include: loans that
are currently nonperforming, other real estate, and loans that are
currently performing but which management believes require special
attention.
During periods of economic slowdown, the Company may experience an
increase in nonperforming loans.
The Company discontinues the accrual of interest on loans that become 90
days past due as to principal or interest unless reasons for delinquency
are documented such as the loan being well collateralized and in the
process of collection. A loan remains in a non-accrual status until
factors indicating doubtful collection no longer exist. A loan is
classified as a restructured loan when the interest rate is materially
reduced or the term is extended beyond the original maturity date
because of the inability of the borrower to service the interest
payments at market rates. Other real estate is recorded at the lower of
cost or fair market value less estimated costs to sell. A summary of
the components of nonperforming assets, including several ratios using
period-end data, is shown below.

(1) Net of deferred loan fees
Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2004 were $2.8 million
compared to $3.0 million at December 31, 2003 and $2.5 million at
December 31, 2002. The decrease from 2003 to 2004 is attributable to
the decrease in various loans being put on non-accrual offset by a $301
thousand increase in other real estate. Total nonperforming loans were
$2.1 million, $2.6 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2004, 2003
and 2002, respectively. The non-accrual loan decrease from 2003 to 2004
is mainly attributable to more concentration on improving loan quality.
The amount of lost interest on our non-accrual loans is immaterial. At
December 31, 2004, loans currently performing but which management
believes require special attention were not significant. The Company
continues to follow its long-standing policy of not engaging in
international lending and not concentrating lending activity in any one
industry.
Impaired loans as of December 31, 2004 were $1.8 million compared to
$1.8 million in 2003 and $1.6 million in 2002. These amounts are
included in the total nonperforming and restructured loans presented in
the table above. See Note 4 in the notes to consolidated financial
statements included as Exhibit 13.
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that all principal and
interest amounts will not be collected according to the loan contract.
The allowance for loan losses on impaired loans is determined using the
present value of estimated future cash flows of the loan, discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying
collateral. The entire change in present value of expected cash flows
is reported as a provision for loan losses in the same manner in which
impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of
provision for loan losses that otherwise would be reported. The total
allowance for loan losses related to these loans was $416 thousand, $345
thousand and $675 thousand on December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

Loans are typically charged-off after being 120 days delinquent.
Limited exceptions for not charging-off a loan would be well documented
and approved by the appropriate responsible party or committee. The
provision for loan losses for 2004 was $840 thousand compared to $1.3
million in 2003 and $1.2 million in 2002. Net charge-offs were $497
thousand in 2004, $1.3 million in 2003 and $1.2 million in 2002. Net
charge-offs to average loans were 0.15%, 0.43% and 0.43% in 2004, 2003
and 2002, respectively. Based on the quality of the loan portfolio, the
loan loss provision decreased $460 thousand from 2003 to 2004 and
increased $96 thousand from 2002 to 2003. The loan loss provision
decreasing for 2004 is a result of considering our probable losses and
risk analysis of our loan portfolio. In evaluating the allowance for
loan losses, management considers the composition of the loan portfolio,
historical loan loss experience, the overall quality of the loans and an
assessment of current economic conditions. The recent improvement in
the economy along with management's emphasis on improving the lending
process resulted in fewer loan losses, lower loan loss provision and
improved loan quality numbers in 2004. The economic downturn in 2003
and 2002 resulted in higher loan losses and, as a result, higher
provisions in these years. At December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan
losses was 1.16% of loans outstanding compared to 1.19% at year-end 2003
and 1.19% in 2002. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at
the end of 2004 is adequate to cover probable and incurred credit losses
within the portfolio.
The following tables set forth an allocation for the allowance for loan
losses and loans by category and a percentage distribution of the
allowance allocation. In making the allocation, management evaluates
the risk in each category, current economic conditions and charge-off
experience. An allocation for the allowance for loan losses is an
estimate of the portion of the allowance that will be used to cover
future charge-offs in each loan category, but it does not preclude any
portion of the allowance allocated to one type of loan being used to
absorb losses of another loan type.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
Some financial instruments, such as loan commitments, credit lines, letters of
credit, and overdraft protection, are issued to meet customer financing needs.
These are agreements to provide credit or to support the credit of others, as
long as conditions established in the contract are met, and usually have
expiration dates. Commitments may expire without being used. Off-balance
sheet risk to credit loss exists up to the face amount of these instruments,
although material losses are not anticipated. The same credit policies are
used to make such commitments as are used for loans, including obtaining
collateral at exercise of the commitment.
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were as follows at year-end:
2004 2003
Unused lines of credit $ 54,785,000 $ 47,148,000
Commitments to make loans 1,272,000 1,379,000
Letters of credit 145,000 252,000
Unused lines of credit are substantially all at variable rates. Commitments to
make loans are generally made for a period of 60 days or less and are primarily
fixed at current market rates ranging from 4.875% to 5.75% with maturities
ranging from 15 to 30 years and are intended to be sold.
Capital
As displayed by the following table, the Company's Tier I capital (as
defined by the Federal Reserve Board under the Board's risk-based
guidelines) at December 31, 2004 increased $1.5 million to $41.7
million. During 2004, the Company purchased 122,302 shares of its stock
for $3.4 million. This partially offsets the $5.8 million in net income
for 2004. Stockholders' equity, excluding accumulated other
comprehensive income was $44.7 million at December 31, 2004. Included
in Tier I capital is $7 million of trust preferred securities issued in
August 2003. The disallowed amount of stockholders' equity is mainly
attributable to the goodwill and core deposit intangible, resulting from
the Kentucky First acquisition (see Note 6 and Note 17 in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the business
combination, and goodwill and core deposit intangible assets). The
Company's risk-based capital and leverage ratios, as shown in the
following table, exceeded the levels required to be considered "well
capitalized". The leverage ratio compares Tier I capital to total
average assets less disallowed amounts of goodwill.

(1) Excluding accumulated other comprehensive income.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") established five capital categories for insured depository
institutions under its Prompt Corrective Action Provisions. The bank
regulatory agencies adopted regulations, which became effective in 1992,
defining these five capital categories for banks they regulate. The
categories vary from "well capitalized" to "critically
undercapitalized". A "well capitalized" bank is defined as one with a
total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or more, a Tier I risk-based
capital ratio of 6% or more, a leverage ratio of 5% or more, and one not
subject to any order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt
corrective action directive to meet or maintain a specific capital
level. At December 31, 2004, the bank had ratios that exceeded the
minimum requirements established for the "well capitalized" category.
In management's opinion, there are no other known trends, events or
uncertainties that will have or that are reasonably likely to have a
material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or
operations.
Securities and Federal Funds Sold
Securities, classified as available for sale, decreased from $128.8
million at December 31, 2003 to $126.8 million at December 31, 2004.
The decrease is mainly attributable to higher loan demand. Federal
funds sold totaled $3.2 million at December 31, 2004 and $6.2 million at
December 31, 2003.
Per Company policy, fixed rate asset backed securities will not have an
average life exceeding seven years, but final maturity may be longer.
Adjustable rate securities shall adjust within three years per Company
policy. Of the $2.3 million of adjustable asset backed securities held
on December 31, 2004, $650 thousand are repriceable monthly and the
remaining $1.6 million are repriceable annually. Of the $7.4 million of
adjustable asset backed securities held on December 31, 2003, $3.3
million are repriceable monthly and the remaining $4.1 million are
repriceable annually. Unrealized gains (losses) on investment
securities are temporary and change inversely with movements in interest
rates. In addition, some prepayment risk exists on mortgage-backed
securities and prepayments are likely to increase with decreases in
interest rates. The following tables present the investment securities
for each of the past three years and the maturity and yield
characteristics of securities as of December 31, 2004.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
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 and inventories. However, inflation does have an important
impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and 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 inflation.
Other Accounting Issues
FAS 123, Revised, requires all public companies to record compensation cost
for stock options provided to employees in return for employee service. The
cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost
is expensed over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting
period of the options. This will apply to awards granted or modified after
the first quarter or year beginning after Jun 15, 2005. Compensation cost
will also be recorded for prior options granted that vest after the date of
adoption. The effect on results of operations will depend on the level of
future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options
granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided, and so
cannot currently be predicted. Existing options that will vest after adoption
date are expected to result in additional compensation expense of
approximately $30,000 during the balance of 2005. There will be no
significant effect on financial position as total equity will not change.
Item 7A. Asset/Liability Management, Interest Rate Sensitivity, Market
Risk and Liquidity
Asset/Liability management control is designed to ensure safety and
soundness, maintain liquidity and regulatory capital standards, and
achieve acceptable net interest income. The Company's exposure to
market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability
Committee.
Management considers interest rate risk to be the most significant
market risk. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due
to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected
as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair
market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest
income and to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk
while at the same time maximize income.
Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to
identify and minimize the risks. The primary tool used by management is
an interest rate shock simulation model. Certain assumptions, such as
prepayment risks, are included in the model. However, actual
prepayments may differ from those assumptions. In addition, immediate
withdrawal of interest checking and other savings accounts may have an
effect on the results of the model. The Bank has no market risk
sensitive instruments held for trading purposes.
The following table depicts the change in net interest income resulting
from 100 and 300 basis point changes in rates. The projections are
based on balance sheet growth assumptions and repricing opportunities
for new, maturing and adjustable rate amounts. In addition, the
projected percentage changes from level rates are outlined below along
with the Board of Directors approved limits. As of December 31, 2004
the projected net interest income percentage change of down 100 and down
300 basis points is outside the Board of Directors limits. As of
January 31, 2005, the Company was within the Board limits in the down
100 basis point scenario. Because of the low level of rates, an across
the board drop of 300 basis points is impossible. This along with a
higher likelihood of increasing rates in the future have resulted in
Management believing this risk is acceptable under the current
conditions. This limit variation has been reviewed with the
Asset/Liability Committee and the Board of Directors. The projected net
interest income report summarizing the Company's interest rate
sensitivity as of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 is as follows:

Limitation on % Change >-10.0% >-4.0% N/A >-4.0% >-10.0%
The numbers in 2004 show slightly greater fluctuation when compared to
2003. In 2004, year one reflected a decrease in net interest income of
4.8% compared to 3.3% projected decrease from 2003 with a 100 basis
point decline. The 300 basis point increase in rates reflected a 11.3%
increase in net interest income in 2004 compared to a 9.9% increase in
2003. The risk is more in 2004 due to the current status of existing
interest rates (being low) and their effect on rate sensitive assets and
rate sensitive liabilities. An increase in rates would improve net
interest income.
Management measures the Company's interest rate risk by computing
estimated changes in net interest income in the event of a range of
assumed changes in market interest rates. The Company's exposure to
interest rates is reviewed on a monthly basis by senior management and
quarterly with the Board of Directors. Exposure to interest rate risk
is measured with the use of interest rate sensitivity analysis to
determine the change in net interest income in the event of hypothetical
changes in interest rates, while interest rate sensitivity gap analysis
is used to determine the repricing characteristics of the Company's
assets and liabilities. If estimated changes to net interest income are
not within the limits established by the Board, the Board may direct
management to adjust the Company's asset and liability mix to bring
interest rate risk within Board approved limits.
Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Company may not be able to
meet its cash requirements. Management of liquidity risk includes
maintenance of adequate cash and sources of cash to fund operations and
meet the needs of borrowers, depositors and creditors. Excess liquidity
has a negative impact on earnings resulting from the lower yields on
short-term assets.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the securities portfolio
provides an important source of liquidity. Total securities maturing
within one year along with cash and cash equivalents totaled $17.6
million at December 31, 2004. Additionally, securities available-for-
sale with maturities greater than one year totaled $124.6 million at
December 31, 2004. The available for sale securities are available to
meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.
The Company maintains a relatively stable base of customer deposits and
its steady growth is expected to be adequate to meet its funding
demands. In addition, management believes the majority of its $100,000
or more certificates of deposit are no more volatile than its core
deposits. At December 31, 2004 these balances totaled $59.5 million,
approximately 15% of total deposits.
The Company also relies on FHLB advances for both liquidity and
asset/liability management purposes. These advances are used primarily
to fund long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans. We have
sufficient collateral to borrow an additional $38 million from the FHLB
at December 31, 2004.
Generally, the Company relies upon net cash inflows from financing
activities, supplemented by net cash inflows from operating activities,
to provide cash used in its investing activities. As is typical of many
financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit
gathering, and the use of short-term borrowings, such as federal funds
purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements along with
long-term debt. The Company's primary investing activities include
purchasing investment securities and loan originations. Management
believes there is sufficient cash flow from operations to meet investing
and liquidity needs related to reasonable borrower, depositor and
creditor needs in the present economic environment.
The cash flow statements for the periods presented provide an indication
of the Company's sources and uses of cash as well as an indication of
the ability of the Company to maintain an adequate level of liquidity.
A number of other techniques are used to measure the liquidity position,
including the ratios presented below. These ratios are calculated based
on annual averages for each year.
Liquidity Ratios

2004 2003 2002

for sale)/Average Deposits 88.3% 89.6% 91.3%
Average Securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and other
borrowings/Average Assets 5.7% 1.3% 0.9%
This chart shows that the loan to deposit ratio decreased in 2004 and
2003. The decline in 2003 compared to 2002 is mainly attributable to
the Kentucky First acquisition, in which the Company acquired $31.2
million in loans and $52.9 million in deposits. The increase in the
latter ratio above is mainly a result of the leverage transaction
entered into in the beginning on 2004. Twenty million dollars of
securities were purchased and were funded by repurchase agreements.

effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2004. Based on the evaluation, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
December 31, 2004. There was no change in the Company's internal
control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2004 that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
such internal control over financial reporting.
