NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers Capital
Bank Corporation (the "Company"), a financial 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 preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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.
The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31 has
been prepared from the books and records without audit. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include
all of the information and the footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial
statements, have been included. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2002.
2. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. Such
reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or
shareholders' equity.
3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 46, CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, AN
INTERPRETATION OF ARB NO. 51. This Interpretation provides new guidance for the
consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs") and requires such entities
to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not
effectively disperse risk among parties involved. The Interpretation also adds
disclosure requirements for investors that are involved with unconsolidated
VIEs. The consolidation requirements apply immediately to VIEs created after
January 31, 2003 and are effective for the first fiscal year or interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003 for VIEs acquired before February 1, 2003. The
adoption of this interpretation is not expected have a significant impact on the
Company's financial condition of results of operations.
In April 2003, The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 149, AMENDMENT OF STATEMENT 133 ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133,
"ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES." This statement
is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. Because
the Company does not have these instruments or is only nominally involved in
these instruments, management expects the adoption of this statement will not
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY". This statement
affects the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous
guidance, issuers could account for as equity. This statement requires that
freestanding financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer be
classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. Most of this statement is
effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003,
and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. Because the Company does not have these
instruments or is only nominally involved in these instruments, management
expects the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
4. COMPANY-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees with
their knowledge and consent. Company-owned life insurance is recorded at its
cash surrender value, or the amount that can be realized, on the consolidated
balance sheet. The related change in cash surrender value and proceeds received
under the policies are reported on the consolidated statement of income under
the caption "Income from company-owned life insurance".
5. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is determined by dividing net income by the
weighted average total number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net
income per common share is determined by dividing net income by the total
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus the total
weighted average number of shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutive
stock options assuming proceeds are used to repurchase shares pursuant to the
treasury stock method. Net income per common share computations were as follows
at June 30, 2003 and 2002.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a nonqualified stock option
plan that provides for granting of stock options to key employees and officers
of the Company. The plan was subsequently ratified by the Company's shareholders
at its annual shareholders' meeting held on May 12, 1998, the measurement date
of the plan. All stock options are awarded at a price equal to the fair market
value of the Company's common stock at the date the options are granted. The
Company applies Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its plan. Accordingly, since options were
granted during 1997 at the fair market value of the Company's stock on the grant
date, and the measurement date occurred during 1998, the Company recognizes
noncash compensation expense based on the intrinsic value of the stock options
measured on the date of shareholder ratification of the plan.
The Company granted 54,000 options during 2000 in which there is no compensation
expense being recognized pursuant to APB No. 25. Had compensation expense been
determined under the fair value method described in SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, as amended by SFAS NO. 148, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION-TRANSITION AND DISCLOSURE, the Company's net income and income per
common share would have been as shown in the table below.

Diluted, proforma .44 .48 .97 1.02
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fair value of the options granted are estimated as of the measurement date
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for grants in 2000 and 1997, respectively: dividend yield of
3.12% and 3.18%; expected volatility of 29.6% and 23.4%; risk-free interest rate
of 6.71% and 5.75%; and expected life of seven years for both grants. The
weighted average fair value of options granted during 2000 and 1997 was $9.25
and $16.11 per share, respectively.
The plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to 450,000 shares
of the Company's common stock at a price equal to the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the date the option is granted. The term of the
options expires after ten years from the date on which the options are granted.
Options granted under the plan vest ratably over various time periods ranging
from four to seven years. All options granted must be held for a minimum of one
year before they can be exercised. Forfeited options are available for the
granting of options under the plan.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER 2003 VS. SECOND QUARTER 2002
-------------------------------------------
The Company reported net income of $3.0 million or $.45 per basic and diluted
share for the second quarter of 2003 compared to net income of $3.3 million or
$.48 per basic and diluted share for the second quarter of 2002. This represents
a 6.3% decrease in basic and diluted per share earnings compared to the prior
period. The decrease in net income in the three-month comparison is attributed
primarily to a $695 thousand or 7.0% decrease in net interest income. The
decline in net interest income is attributed to continued declines in the
overall market interest rate environment. Interest rates earned on earning
assets have declined more rapidly than the interest rates paid on interest
paying liabilities since many of the Company's funding sources, particularly
deposits, have approached their repricing floors.
The provision for loan losses decreased $637 thousand or 64.5% in the three
month comparison. Higher provisions in the second quarter of 2002 related to a
group of nonperforming constructions loans secured by residential real estate
led to the decrease.
Total noninterest income increased $337 thousand or 8.1% despite lower gains
reported on the sale of investment securities of $399 thousand in the quarterly
comparison. Income from the purchase of company-owned life insurance, instituted
in the first quarter of 2003 to offset the rising costs of the Company's
employee benefits plans, totaled $408 thousand for the current three months.
Gains on the sale of mortgage loans also increased $233 thousand in the
comparisons as the low interest rate environment continues to fuel the Company's
secondary market mortgage loan originations.
Offsetting the increase in noninterest income were increases in noninterest
expenses totaling $777 thousand or 8.9% for the current three months.
Noninterest expense increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and
employee benefits of $412 thousand or 8.6%. These increases relate primarily to
employee benefits and normal salary increases. An increase in correspondent
banking fees totaling $187 thousand also contributed to the increase in
noninterest expenses. The effective income tax rate declined 220 basis points to
22.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same periods a
year earlier.
Return on average assets ("ROA") was 0.98% for the current quarter, a decrease
of 12 basis points compared to 1.10% reported for the same period in 2002.
Negatively impacting ROA was a 46 basis point decline in net interest margin to
3.48% and an increase in noninterest expenses of 19 basis points. Partially
offsetting these declines that positively effected ROA was an increase in
earning assets that contributed 12 basis points, a decrease in the provision for
loan losses that contributed 22 basis points, an increase in noninterest income
contributing 8 basis points, and a decrease in income tax expense that
contributed 11 basis points. Return on average equity ("ROE") was 9.71% for the
second quarter of 2003 compared to 10.71% in the same period of 2002. The
decrease is due to lower net income reported in the current period coupled with
a slight increase in average equity compared to the same period a year ago.
NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Continuing weaknesses in the overall economic environment remain present and
have impacted the Company's net interest income. The interest rate environment
has continued to trend downward after a period of relative stability throughout
much of 2002. Additional actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed")
in the fourth quarter of 2002 and the second quarter of 2003 have resulted in a
general reduction in short-term interest rates in the reporting periods.
Short-term interest rates, left unchanged since December 2001, were reduced 50
basis points by the Fed in November 2002 and an additional 25 basis points in
June 2003. The prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal was lowered in
an identical manner shortly following the Fed changes. The effects of prior rate
reductions by the Fed along with intense competition in the Company's market
areas continue to negatively impact net interest margin. The effect of the Fed's
actions on the Company has generally led to interest rates on earning assets
declining more rapidly than rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. During a
falling rate environment, the challenge is to reduce the rates paid on interest
bearing liabilities (primarily deposits) to offset the decline in the yield on
variable rate assets (primarily loans) while remaining competitive in our
markets.
The Company's tax equivalent ("TE") yield on earning assets for the current
three months was 5.3%, a reduction of 111 basis points from 6.4% in the same
period a year ago. The cost of funds for the current three months was 2.2%, a
decline of 71 basis points compared to 2.9% in the same period a year earlier. A
goal of the Company in the current interest rate environment is to increase
earning assets and decrease the interest rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities. However, many of the Company's funding sources, particularly
deposits, have approached their repricing floors. Average earning assets
increased $48.5 million or 4.5% to $1.1 billion in the quarterly comparison. As
a percentage of total average assets, earning assets increased 205 basis points
to 90.43% from 88.38%. This increase had the effect of adding an additional 12
basis points to ROA in the comparison.
Interest income totaled $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2003, a decrease
of $2.2 million or 13.3% compared to the same period in the prior year. Interest
expense totaled $5.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million or 22.7%. Net interest
income fell $695 thousand or 7.0% in the comparison and totaled $9.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Interest and fees on loans totaled $12.1 million, a decrease of $500 thousand
mainly due to a decrease in the average rate earned. Average loans increased
$50.7 million or 7.3% to $742.1 million in the comparison due to higher loan
demand in a lower rate environment. The tax equivalent yield on loans decreased
79 basis points to 6.6% from 7.4% and offset the effects of higher average
balances on interest income. Interest on taxable securities was $1.2 million, a
decrease of $1.4 million or 53.8% due primarily to a decrease in the average
rate earned and the effect of higher premium amortization on mortgage-backed
securities. Prepayemnts on mortgage-backed securities have increased greatly due
to corresponding refinancing of home mortgages that serve as collateral for
these investment securities. The increase in activity is directly related to the
lower interest rate environment. The average rate earned on taxable securities
decreased 243 basis points to 2.1% from 4.5% while the average balance remained
relatively unchanged at $231.3 million. Interest on nontaxable securities
declined $158 thousand or 16.8% due to a $12.2 million decrease in the average
balance to $70.1 million from $82.3 million. Interest on short-term investments,
including time deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and securities
purchased under agreements to resell, decreased $140 thousand due primarily to a
decrease in the average rate earned on these investments of 110 basis points to
1.3% from 2.4%.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.5 million or 25.2% to $4.3 million in
the quarterly comparison. This decrease resulted from a general decline in the
average rate paid throughout the deposit portfolio and correlates with the
general decline in market interest rates in the reporting periods. The decline
in the average rates paid offset a general increase in average balances. The
decline in interest expense on deposits was as follows: time deposits $1.1
million or 23.8%; interest bearing demand deposits $170 thousand or 32.5%; and
savings deposits $180 thousand or 30.1%. The average rate paid on time deposits,
the largest component of interest bearing deposits, was 3.3% for the second
quarter of 2003 compared to 4.6% for the same period of 2002. The average
balance of time deposits increased $22.9 million or 5.7% to $426.2 million. The
average rate paid on interest bearing demand deposits declined 33 basis points
to .65% from .98% while the average balance increased $4.9 million or 2.3% to
$219.0 million. The average rate paid on savings deposits decreased 42 basis
points to 1.0% from 1.5% while the average balance declined $2.9 million or 1.7%
to $163.0 million from $165.9 million. Interest expense on overnight borrowings,
consisting of federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase, decreased $191 thousand due to a 44 basis point decline in the
average rate paid along with a $24.7 million decline in the average balance.
Interest expense on other borrowed funds increased $143 thousand in the
comparison as additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased
the average balance outstanding. The average balance of other borrowed funds
totaled $66.7 million, an increase of $21.2 million or 46.5% in the comparison.
The average rate paid on other borrowed funds declined 29 basis points to 3.4%
from 3.6%.
The net interest margin (TE) decreased 46 basis points to 3.48% during the
second quarter of 2003 compared to 3.94% in the second quarter of 2002. The
decrease in net interest margin is primarily attributed to a 40 basis point
decline in the spread between rates earned on earning assets and the rates paid
on interest bearing liabilities to 3.15% in the current quarter from 3.55% in
the second quarter of 2002. The effect of noninterest bearing sources of funds
contributed an additional 6 basis points to the decline in net interest margin.
The effect of noninterest bearing sources of funds on net interest margin
typically declines in a falling rate environment.
The following tables present an analysis of net interest income for the
quarterly periods ended June 30.

NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------
Noninterest income was $4.5 million for the current quarter, an increase of $337
thousand or 8.1% compared to the second quarter of the prior year. Service
charges and fees on deposits, the largest component of noninterest income,
increased a modest $58 thousand or 3.0% to $2.0 million. Overdraft fees declined
$61 thousand or 4.6% and service charges on demand deposit accounts declined $19
thousand or 7.7% in the comparison. Partially offsetting these declines was an
increase in fees related to the Commonwealth of Kentucky of $119 thousand. Other
service charges, commissions, and fees declined $22 thousand or 2.5% to $853
thousand. Data processing fees were relatively unchanged at $389 thousand. Trust
income totaled $413 thousand, an increase of $52 thousand or 14.4% compared to
$361 thousand a year earlier. A net loss of $3 thousand on the sale of available
for sale securities was reported in the current quarter compared to a net gain
of $396 thousand in the comparable period a year ago as the Company sought to
manage the composition of its balance sheet in an increasingly difficult
economic environment. Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans were $323
thousand, an increase of $233 thousand from $90 thousand in the prior year as
mortgage loans originated for sale increased $13.7 million in the comparison due
to the low interest rate environment. Income from the purchase of company-owned
life insurance near the end of the first quarter of 2003 was $408 thousand in
the current three-month period. Other noninterest income totaled $77 thousand,
an increase of $5 thousand or 6.9%.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------
Total noninterest expenses increased $777 thousand or 8.9% from the second
quarter of 2003 compared to the second quarter of 2002 and totaled $9.5 million.
Salaries and employee benefits account for more than half of the total increase
in noninterest expense. Total salaries and benefits increased $412 thousand or
8.6% to $5.2 million in the quarterly comparison. Employee benefit related
expenses account for a significant amount of the increase. Employee benefit
expenses increased $283 thousand primarily due to increased health insurance
costs, which include additional amounts associated with the new postretirement
health insurance coverage initiated during the first quarter of 2003. Salary and
related payroll expenses increased $155 thousand or 3.9% in the comparison while
noncash compensation expense related to the Company's nonqualified stock option
plan declined $26 thousand or 19.6% due to the structure of the vesting schedule
and forfeitures. The number of full time equivalent employees decreased to 462
from 469 reported in the prior period. Occupancy expense, net of rental income,
increased $54 thousand or 9.2% and totaled $642 thousand. The increase in net
occupancy expense is attributed to increases in maintenance and repairs,
utilities costs, and depreciation. Equipment expense was relatively unchanged at
$924 thousand. Other noninterest expense, including bank franchise taxes,
increased $301 thousand or 12.6% to $2.7 million due mainly to a $187 thousand
increase in correspondent bank fees related to activity attributed to the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2003 was $874 thousand, a decrease
of $208 thousand or 19.2% from the same period a year earlier. The effective tax
rate decreased 220 basis points to 22.4% from 24.6% in 2002. The change in the
effective tax rate is due to a combination of factors, primarily including
credits derived from qualified zone academy bonds and nontaxable income accrued
from the increase in cash surrender value on life insurance purchased on key
employees.
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2003 VS. FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2002
-----------------------------------------------------
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $6.6 million compared to
net income of $7.1 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of $479
thousand or 6.7%. Basic and diluted net income per share were $0.98 for the
current six months, a decrease of $.05 or 4.9% and $.04 or 3.9%, respectively.
The decrease in net income in the six-month comparison is attributed primarily
to a $798 thousand or 4.0% decrease in net interest income. The decline in net
interest income is attributed to continued declines in the overall market
interest rate environment. Interest rates earned on earning assets have declined
more rapidly than the interest rates paid on interest paying liabilities since
many of the Company's funding sources, particularly deposits, have approached
their repricing floors.
The provision for loan losses decreased $373,000 or 33.6% in the six-month
comparison. Higher provisions in the second quarter of 2002 related to a group
of nonperforming constructions loans secured by residential real estate led to
the decrease.
Total noninterest income increased $382 thousand or 4.6% in the comparisons
despite lower gains reported on the sale of investment securities of $849
thousand in the current period. Income from the purchase of company-owned life
insurance, instituted in the first quarter of 2003 to offset the rising costs of
the Company's employee benefits plans, totaled $673 thousand for the current six
months. Gains on the sale of mortgage loans also increased $327 thousand in the
comparison as the low interest rate environment continues to fuel the Company's
secondary market mortgage loan originations.
Offsetting the increase in noninterest income were increases in noninterest
expenses totaling $879 thousand or 5.0% for the current six months. Noninterest
expense increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits
of $330 thousand or 3.3%. These increases relate primarily to increases in
employee benefits and normal salary increases. An increase in correspondent
banking fees totaling $301 thousand also contributed to the increase in
noninterest expenses. The effective income tax rate declined 243 basis points to
23.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period a year
earlier.
ROA was 1.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of 12 basis
points from the same period in 2002. Negatively impacting ROA was a 35 basis
point decline in net interest margin to 3.61% and an increase in noninterest
expenses of 5 basis points. Partially offsetting these declines that positively
effected ROA was an increase in earning assets that contributed 9 basis points,
a decrease in the provision for loan losses that contributed 7 basis points, an
increase in noninterest income contributing 1 basis point, and a decrease in
income tax expense that contributed 11 basis points. Return on average equity
("ROE") was 10.68% for the first six months of 2003 compared to 11.53% for the
same period of 2002. The decrease is due to lower net income reported in the
current period coupled with a slight increase in average equity compared to the
same period a year ago.
NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Continuing weaknesses in the overall economic environment remain present and
have impacted the Company's net interest income. The interest rate environment
has continued to trend downward after a period of relative stability throughout
much of 2002. Additional actions taken by the Fed in the fourth quarter of 2002
and the second quarter of 2003 have resulted in a general reduction in
short-term interest rates in the reporting periods. Short-term interest rates,
left unchanged since December 2001, were reduced 50 basis points by the Fed in
November 2002 and an additional 25 basis points in June 2003. The prime rate as
reported in The Wall Street Journal was lowered in an identical manner shortly
following the Fed changes. The effects of prior rate reductions by the Fed along
with intense competition in the Company's market areas continue to negatively
impact net interest margin. The effect of the Fed's actions on the Company has
generally led to interest rates on earning assets declining more rapidly than
rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. During a falling rate environment,
the challenge is to reduce the rates paid on interest bearing liabilities
(primarily deposits) to offset the decline in the yield on variable rate assets
(primarily loans) while remaining competitive in our markets.
The Company's tax equivalent yield on earning assets for the current six months
was 5.5%, a reduction of 98 basis points from 6.5% in the same period a year
ago. The cost of funds for the current six months was 2.2%, a decline of 69
basis points compared to 2.9% in the same period a year earlier. A goal of the
Company in the current interest rate environment is to increase earning assets
and decrease the interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities. However,
many of the Company's funding sources, particularly deposits, have approached
their repricing floors. Average earning assets increased $54.7 million or 5.1%
to $1.1 billion in the comparison. As a percentage of total average assets,
earning assets increased 161 basis points to 91.24% from 89.63%. This increase
had the effect of adding an additional 9 basis points to ROA in the comparison.
Interest income totaled $29.9 million for the first six months of 2003, a
decrease of $3.6 million or 10.9% compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense totaled $10.6 million, a decrease of $2.8 million or 21.2%. Net
interest income fell $798 thousand or 4.0% in the comparison and totaled $19.3
million at June 30, 2003.
Interest and fees on loans totaled $24.4 million, a decrease of $1.3 million
mainly due to a decrease in the average rate earned. Average loans increased
$48.9 million or 7.1% to $739.1 million in the comparison due to higher loan
demand in a lower rate environment. The tax equivalent yield on loans decreased
88 basis points to 6.7% from 7.6% and offset the effects of higher average
balances on interest income. Interest on taxable securities was $3.5 million, a
decrease of $1.8 million or 34.5% due primarily to a decrease in the average
rate earned and the effect of higher premium amortization on mortgage-backed
securities. Prepayements on mortgage-backed securities have increased greatly
due to corresponding refinancing of home mortgages that serve as collateral for
these investment securities. The increase in activity is directly related to the
lower interest rate environment. The average rate earned on taxable securities
decreased 163 basis points to 2.8% from 4.4% while the average balance increased
$10.8 million or 4.4%. Interest on nontaxable securities declined $266 thousand
or 14.4% due to an $11.0 million or 13.4% decrease in the average balance to
$70.9 million from $81.9 million. Interest on short-term investments, including
time deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under
agreements to resell, decreased $194 thousand due primarily to a decrease in the
average rate earned on these investments of 77 basis points to 1.3% from 2.0%.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $2.8 million or 23.7% to $9.0 million in
the six month comparison. This decrease resulted from a general decline in the
average rate paid throughout the deposit portfolio and correlates with the
general decline in market interest rates in the reporting periods. The decline
in the average rates paid offset a general increase in average balances. The
decline in interest expense on deposits was as follows: time deposits $2.1
million or 21.9%; interest bearing demand deposits $375 thousand or 34.7%; and
savings deposits $340 thousand or 28.1%. The average rate paid on time deposits,
the largest component of interest bearing deposits, was 3.5% for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 compared to 4.8% for the same period of 2002. The average
balance of time deposits increased $20.3 million or 5.1% to $421.9 million. The
average rate paid on interest bearing demand deposits declined 36 basis points
to .65% from 1.01% while the average balance increased $5.7 million or 2.6% to
$220.9 million. The average rate paid on savings deposits decreased 44 basis
points to 1.1% from 1.5% while the average balance increased $2.3 million or
1.4% to $166.6 million from $164.3 million. Interest expense on overnight
borrowings, consisting of federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, decreased $405 thousand due to a 46 basis point
decline in the average rate paid along with a $26.2 million decline in the
average balance. Interest expense on other borrowed funds increased $354
thousand in the comparison as additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank increased the average balance outstanding. The average balance of other
borrowed funds totaled $66.2 million, an increase of $25.7 million or 63.7% in
the comparison. The average rate paid on other borrowed funds declined 39 basis
points to 3.4% from 3.8%.
The net interest margin (TE) decreased 35 basis points to 3.61% during the six
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 3.96% in the same period of 2002. The
decrease in net interest margin is primarily attributed to a 29 basis point
decline in the spread between rates earned on earning assets and the rates paid
on interest bearing liabilities to 3.25% in the current six months from 3.54% in
the same period in 2002. The effect of noninterest bearing sources of funds
contributed an additional 6 basis points to the decline in net interest margin.
The effect of noninterest bearing sources of funds on net interest margin
typically declines in a falling rate environment.

NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------
Noninterest income was $8.6 million for the first six months of 2003, an
increase of $382 thousand or 4.6% compared to the same period in 2002. Service
charges and fees on deposits, the largest component of noninterest income,
increased $74 thousand or 2.0% to $3.9 million. Overdraft fees declined $106
thousand or 4.2% and service charges on demand deposit accounts declined $44
thousand or 8.9% in the comparison. Offsetting these declines was an increase in
fees related to the Commonwealth of Kentucky of $185 thousand. Other service
charges, commissions, and fees increased $43 thousand or 2.5% to $1.8 million.
Data processing fees were up $11 thousand or 1.5% and totaled $734 thousand for
the first six months of 2003. Trust fees increased $84 thousand or 11.5%. Net
gains on the sale of available for sale securities was $144 thousand for the
current six months, a decrease of $849 thousand or 85.5% compared to $993
thousand in the comparable period a year ago as the Company sought to manage the
composition of its balance sheet in an increasingly difficult economic
environment. Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans were $512 thousand, an
increase of $327 thousand from $185 thousand in the prior year as mortgage loans
originated for sale increased $20.6 million in the comparison due to the low
interest rate environment. Income from the purchase of company-owned life
insurance near the end of the first quarter of 2003 was $673 thousand. Other
noninterest income totaled $143 thousand, an increase of $19 thousand or 15.3%.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------
Noninterest expenses totaled $18.6 million for the first six months of 2003, an
increase of $879 thousand or 5.0% compared to the same period in 2002. Salaries
and employee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased
$330 thousand or 3.3% and totaled $10.3 million at June 30, 2003. Employee
benefit expenses increased $183 thousand primarily due to increased health
insurance costs, which include additional amounts associated with the new
postretirement health insurance coverage initiated during the first quarter of
2003. Salary and related payroll expenses increased $236 thousand or 3.0% in the
comparison while noncash compensation expense related to the Company's
nonqualified stock option plan declined $89 thousand or 29.6% due to the
structure of the vesting schedule and forfeitures. The number of full time
equivalent employees decreased to 462 from 469 reported in the prior period.
Occupancy expense, net of rental income, increased $141 thousand or 12.2% and
totaled $1.3 million. The increase in net occupancy expense is attributed to
increases in maintenance and repairs, utilities costs, and depreciation.
Equipment expense was relatively unchanged at $1.9 million. Other noninterest
expense, including bank franchise taxes, increased $387 thousand or 8.1% to $5.2
million mainly due to a $301 thousand increase in correspondent bank fees
related to activity attributed to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
Income tax expense for the first six months of 2003 was $2.0 million, a decrease
of $443 thousand or 18.3% from the same period a year earlier. The effective tax
rate decreased 243 basis points to 23.0% from 25.4% in 2002. The change in the
effective tax rate is due to a combination of factors, primarily including
credits derived from qualified zone academy bonds and nontaxable income accrued
from the increase in cash surrender value on life insurance purchased on key
employees.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets were $1.3 billion on June 30, 2003, a decrease of $15.6 million or
1.2% from December 31, 2002. The decrease in assets includes a $114.6 million
lower balance in the securities portfolio, offset by a $71.2 million increase in
cash and cash equivalents and a $23.6 million increase in other assets resulting
primarily from the purchase of company-owned life insurance during the first
quarter of 2003. Fed funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase declined $42.3 million and correspond to the decline in assets during
the period. The makeup of the balance sheet continually changes as the Company
responds to extremely competitive market forces. Management of the Company
considers it noteworthy to understand the relationship between the Company's
principal subsidiary, Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Co., and the Commonwealth of
Kentucky. Farmers Bank provides various services to state agencies of the
Commonwealth. As the depository for the Commonwealth, these agencies issue
checks drawn on Farmers Bank, including paychecks and state income tax refunds.
Farmers Bank also processes vouchers of the WIC (Women, Infants and Children)
program for the Cabinet for Human Resources. The Bank's investment department
also provides services to the Teacher's Retirement systems. As the depository
for the Commonwealth, large fluctuations in deposits are likely to occur on a
daily basis. Therefore, reviewing average balances is also important to
understanding the financial condition of the Company. On an average basis, total
assets were $1.2 billion for the first six months of 2003, an increase of $35.7
million or 3.0% from year-end 2002. Average earning assets, primarily loans and
securities, were $1.1 billion at June 30, 2003, an increase of $42.8 million or
3.9% from year-end 2002. Average earning assets represent 91.24% of total
average assets on June 30, 2003, an increase of 49 basis points compared to
90.75% at year-end 2002.
LOANS
- -----
Loans, net of unearned income, totaled $742.9 million at June 30, 2003, an
increase of $4.3 million or 0.6% from year-end 2002. The composition of the loan
portfolio is summarized in the table below.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 2003 December 31, 2002
(Dollars in thousands) Amount % Amount %
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commercial, financial,
and agriculture $ 107,297 14.4% $ 110,056 14.9%
Real estate - construction 53,078 7.1 55,896 7.6
Real estate - mortgage 474,346 63.9 459,620 62.2
Installment 73,198 9.9 76,162 10.3

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $ 742,912 100.0% $ 738,639 100.0%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On average, loans represented 65.2% of earning assets during the current six
month period compared to 64.7% for year-end 2002. As loan demand fluctuates, the
available funds are reallocated between loans and lower earning temporary
investments or investment securities, which typically involve a decrease in
credit risk and lower yields.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------
The allowance for loan losses was $11.2 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of
$94 thousand or 0.8% from the prior year-end. The allowance for loan losses was
1.50% of loans net of unearned income at June 30, 2003, unchanged from December
31, 2002. The provision for loan losses decreased $637 thousand and $373
thousand in the current three-month and six-month period, respectively, compared
to the same periods in 2002. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in
the comparison is attributed to higher provisions in the second quarter of the
prior year related to a group of nonperforming construction loans secured by
residential real estate. The Company had net charge-offs of $324 thousand and
$624 thousand in the current three and six months of 2003, respectively,
compared to net charge-offs of $291 thousand and $632 thousand in the same
periods of 2002. Annualized net charge-offs represent 0.18% of average net loans
for three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 0.60% at year-end 2002.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans totaled
70.2% and 57.3% at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The
increase is primarily reflective of the decline in nonperforming assets of $3.7
million in the comparison. Management continues to emphasize collection efforts
and evaluation of risks within the loan portfolio. In management's opinion, the
provision for loan losses represents incurred credit losses during the periods
presented and the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover losses inherent
in the loan portfolio.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
- --------------------
Nonperforming assets for the Company include nonperforming loans, other real
estate owned, and other foreclosed assets. Nonperforming loans consist of
nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and loans past due ninety days or more on
which interest is still accruing. Nonperforming assets totaled $16.1 million at
June 30, 2003, a decrease of $3.7 million or 18.6% from the prior year-end.
Nonperforming loans totaled $15.9 million at June 30, 2003 a decrease of $3.4
million or 17.7% compared to year-end 2002. Nonperforming loans include a pool
of constructions loans secured by residential real estate to a financially
troubled builder. This pool of loans totaled $10.5 million at June 30, 2003.
Interest income lost on this group of loans due to their nonaccrual status
totaled $177 thousand and $366 thousand during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2003, respectively. It is currently estimated that a total of $150
thousand of interest income will be lost in each subsequent quarter related to
this credit while it remains on nonaccrual status. Nonperforming loans as a
percentage of net loans were 2.14% at June 30, 2003, a decrease of 47 basis
points from 2.61% compared to year-end 2002.
Other real estate owned, which had a balance of $385 thousand at year-end 2002,
decreased $329 thousand or 85.5% to $56 thousand on June 30, 2003.
TEMPORARY INVESTMENTS
- ---------------------
Temporary investments consist of interest bearing deposits with other banks,
federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell and
totaled $43.0 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $19.9 million or 86.7%
from year-end 2002. Temporary investments averaged $66.3 million for the first
six months of 2003, a decrease of $2.7 million from year-end 2002. The decrease
is primarily a result of the Company's net funding position and the relationship
between its principal subsidiary and the Commonwealth of Kentucky as described
in preceding sections of this report. Temporary investments are reallocated as
loan demand and other investment alternatives present the opportunity.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
- ---------------------
Investment securities were $327.0 million on June 30, 2003, a decrease of $114.6
million or 25.9% from year-end 2002. Available for sale and held to maturity
securities were $301.2 million and $25.8 million, respectively. Investment
securities averaged $327.8 million for the first six months of 2003, an increase
of $11.4 million or 3.6% from year-end 2002. The increase in average investment
securities is attributable to the Company's continued efforts to manage its net
interest margin during a period of low market interest rates and correlates with
the increase in average borrowed funds. The Company had an unrealized gain on
available for sale investment securities of $5.9 million at June 30, 2003
compared to $5.5 million at year-end 2002.
COMPANY-OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
- ----------------------------
The Company purchased life insurance policies on certain key employees, with
their knowledge and consent, during the current year at a cost of $24.0 million.
Company-owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value, or the
amount that can be realized, on the consolidated balance sheet with the related
change in cash surrender value and proceeds received under the policies reported
on the consolidated statement of income as tax-free noninterest income, which
totaled $673 thousand for the current six-month period. The Company is the sole
beneficiary of proceeds received under the policies. Expected income from the
purchase of the insurance policies will be used to offset the rising costs of
the Company's various benefit plans as well as the additional costs of
implementing a new postretirement health insurance program. Under the new
postretirement health insurance plan, any employee that meets the service
requirements upon retirement would be eligible to continue their health
insurance coverage, identical to the coverage that is offered to active
employees. The employee will pay 50% of the cost and the Company will pay 50%.
It is currently estimated that the expense related to the new postretirement
health insurance plan will be approximately $114 thousand per quarter for the
remainder of 2003.
DEPOSITS
- --------
Total deposits were $980.4 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $22.9
million or 2.4% from year-end 2002. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $48.8
million or 34.6% in the comparison. This increase is primarily due to the
relationship between the Company's principal subsidiary and the Commonwealth of
Kentucky as described in preceding sections of this report. On average,
noninterest bearing deposits were $157.8 million during the current period, an
increase of $7.0 million or 4.6%. End of period interest bearing deposit
balances decreased $25.9 million or 3.2% during the six months ended June 30,
2003 due to decreases in interest bearing checking accounts of $10.5 million or
4.7%, money market deposit accounts of $24.8 million or 21.7%, and savings
accounts of $4.3 million or 6.6%. Time deposits increased $13.7 million in the
end of period comparisons. On average, interest bearing deposits were $809.5
million in the current period, an increase of $22.0 million or 2.8% from
year-end 2002. The increase in average interest bearing deposits is attributable
to increases in interest bearing demand deposits of $5.2 million or 2.4%, time
deposits of $17.3 million or 4.3%, and savings accounts of $2.6 million or 4.3%.
Average money market deposit accounts declined $3.0 million or 2.8% in the
comparison. Total deposits averaged $967.3 million, an increase of $29.0 million
or 3.1% from year-end 2002.
BORROWED FUNDS
- --------------
Borrowed funds totaled $142.2 million at June 30, 2003, a decrease of $40.2
million or 22.0% from $182.3 million at year-end 2002. A $2.2 million net
increase in long-term borrowings was offset by a $42.4 million decrease in
short-term borrowings, which account for the total decrease in borrowed funds.
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
decreased $42.3 million or 36.5% due primarily to the relationship between the
Company's principal subsidiary and the Commonwealth of Kentucky as described in
preceding sections of this report. Other short-term borrowings, primarily
short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") were relatively
unchanged at $9.2 million. The $2.2 million increase in long-term borrowings is
attributed to the funding of new data processing equipment financed over a term
of four years and an additional $1.2 million in additional net borrowings from
the FHLB. Total borrowed funds averaged $141.0 million, an increase of $5.0
million or 3.7% from year-end 2002.
LIQUIDITY
The Parent Company's primary use of cash consists of dividend payments to its
common shareholders, purchases of its common stock, and other general operating
purposes. Liquidity of the Parent Company depends primarily on the receipt of
dividends from its subsidiary banks and cash balances maintained. As of June 30,
2003 combined retained earnings of the subsidiary banks were $41.6 million, of
which $2.4 million was available for the payment of dividends to the Parent
Company without obtaining prior approval from bank regulatory agencies. As a
practical matter, payment of future dividends is also subject to the maintenance
of other capital ratio requirements. During the current six months ended June
30, 2003 the Parent Company received dividends of $30.8 million. Management
expects that in the aggregate, its subsidiary banks will continue to have the
ability to pay dividends in order to provide funds to the Parent Company during
the remainder of 2003 sufficient to meet its liquidity needs. The Parent Company
had cash balances of $28.1 million at June 30, 2003.
The Company's objective as it relates to liquidity is to insure that subsidiary
banks have funds available to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands
without unduly penalizing profitability. In order to maintain a proper level of
liquidity, the banks have several sources of funds available on a daily basis,
which can be used for liquidity purposes. These sources of funds primarily
include the subsidiary banks' core deposits, consisting of both business and
nonbusiness deposits; cash flow generated by repayment of loan principal and
interest; and federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase. The terms of the recent FHLB advances have been taken into
consideration in relation to the overall funding needs of the Company.
For the longer term, the liquidity position is managed by balancing the maturity
structure of the balance sheet. This process allows for an orderly flow of funds
over an extended period of time. The Company's Asset and Liability Management
Committee meets regularly and monitors the composition of the balance sheet to
ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk and liquidity.
Liquid assets consist of cash, cash equivalents, and securities available for
sale. At June 30, 2003, such assets totaled $439.5 million, a decrease of $40.6
million or 8.5% from year-end 2002. The decrease in liquid assets is attributed
to the overall funding position of the Company combined with the purchase of
company-owned life insurance on key employees during the current six months. Net
cash provided by operating activities was $10.6 million in the first six months
of 2003, relatively unchanged from $10.7 million compared to the same period
last year. Net cash provided by investing activities was $84.6 million, an
increase of $31.8 million due primarily to a $66.2 million increase from
investments securities transactions offset by the purchase of company-owned life
insurance on key employees of $24.0 million. An increase in loan volume during
the six-month periods used an additional $9.6 million in the comparison. Net
cash used in financing activities was $24.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2003. In the prior six-month comparison financing activities provided
$74.7 million. The change is mainly due to lower funding activity during the
current six-month period compared to the activity in the same period a year
earlier.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders' equity was $126.2 million on June 30, 2003, an increase of $418
thousand or 0.3% from year-end 2002. The Company purchased 81 thousand shares of
its outstanding common stock during the first six months of 2003 for a total
cost of $2.5 million.
The Company issued 6 thousand shares of common stock during the first six months
of 2003 pursuant to its nonqualified stock option plan. Dividends of $4.3
million or $.64 per share were declared during the first six months of 2003, an
increase of 3.2% per share compared to the prior year. Accumulated other
comprehensive income, consisting of the unrealized holding gain on available for
sale investment securities (net of tax) increased $271 thousand from year-end
2002.
Consistent with the objective of operating a sound financial organization, the
Company's goal is to maintain capital ratios well above the regulatory minimum
requirements. The Company's capital ratios as of June 30, 2003, the regulatory
minimums and the regulatory standard for a "well capitalized" institution are as
follows3
Farmers Capital Regulatory Well
Bank Corporation Minimum Capitalized
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tier 1 risk based 15.19% 4.00% 6.00%
Total risk based 16.45% 8.00% 10.00%
Leverage 9.85% 4.00% 5.00%
The capital ratios of all the subsidiary banks, on an individual basis, were in
excess of the applicable minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements at June
30, 2003.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Interpretation No. 46, CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES, AN
INTERPRETATION OF ARB NO. 51. This Interpretation provides new guidance for the
consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs") and requires such entities
to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not
effectively disperse risk among parties involved. The Interpretation also adds
disclosure requirements for investors that are involved with unconsolidated
VIEs. The consolidation requirements apply immediately to VIEs created after
January 31, 2003 and are effective for the first fiscal year or interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003 for VIEs acquired before February 1, 2003. The
adoption of this interpretation is not expected have a significant impact on the
Company's financial condition of results of operations.
In April 2003, The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 149, AMENDMENT OF STATEMENT 133 ON DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND
HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and
reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133,
"ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES." This statement
is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. Because
the Company does not have these instruments or is only nominally involved in
these instruments, management expects the adoption of this statement will not
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS WITH CHARACTERISTICS OF BOTH LIABILITIES AND EQUITY". This statement
affects the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous
guidance, issuers could account for as equity. This statement requires that
freestanding financial instruments that embody obligations for the issuer be
classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. Most of this statement is
effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003,
and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2003. Because the Company does not have these
instruments or is only nominally involved in these instruments, management
expects the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company uses a simulation model as a tool to monitor and evaluate interest
rate risk exposure. The model is designed to measure the sensitivity of net
interest income and net income to changing interest rates over future time
periods. Forecasting net interest income and its sensitivity to changes in
interest rates requires the Company to make assumptions about the volume and
characteristics of many attributes, including assumptions relating to the
replacement of maturing earning assets and liabilities. Other assumptions
include, but are not limited to, projected prepayments, projected new volume,
and the predicted relationship between changes in market interest rates and
changes in customer account balances. These effects are combined with the
Company's estimate of the most likely rate environment to produce a forecast of
net interest income and net income. The forecasted results are then adjusted for
the effect of a gradual increase and decrease in market interest rates on the
Company's net interest income and net income. Because assumptions are inherently
uncertain, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or net income
or the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income and net income.
Actual results could differ significantly from simulated results.
At June 30, 2003, the model indicated that if rates were to gradually increase
by 150 basis points during the calendar year, then net interest income and net
income would increase 0.35% and 0.73%, respectively for the year ending December
31, 2003. The model indicated that if rates were to gradually decrease by 150
basis points over the same period, then net interest income and net income would
decrease 1.4% and 3.3%, respectively.
In the current low interest rate environment, it is not practical or possible to
reduce certain deposit rates by the same magnitude as rates on earning assets.
The average rates paid on some of the Company's deposits are well below 1.5%.
This situation magnifies the model's predicted results when modeling a decrease
in interest rates, as earning assets with higher yields have more of an
opportunity to reprice at lower rates than lower-rate deposits.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
- --------------------------------
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed
and evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
the period covered by this report, and have concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported in a timely manner.
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officers evaluation, nor were
there any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the controls which
required corrective action.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
In September 1992, Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company (the "Bank") was named
as a defendant in Case No. 92CIO5734 in Jefferson Circuit Court, Louisville,
Kentucky, in a case styled 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.
On June 7, 2002, the plaintiffs filed with the Kentucky Supreme Court a motion
for discretionary review. The Bank filed a response opposing the plaintiffs'
motion
On April 17, 2003 the Kentucky Supreme Court denied plaintiffs' motion for
discretionary review. The judgment in favor of the Bank is therefore now final
and subject to no further appeal or judicial review.
As of June 30, 2003, there were various other pending legal actions and
proceedings against the Company 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.
