PART I

Item 1. Business

General

Bourbon Bancshares, Inc. ("Company" or "Bourbon") 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 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),
Kentucky, additional offices in Paris, North Middletown
(Bourbon County), Winchester (Clark County), Georgetown
(Scott County), Versailles (Woodford County), Nicholasville
(Jessamine County), Wilmore (Jessamine County), Kentucky and
a loan production office in Cynthiana (Harrison County),
Kentucky. During 2001, the Company plans to add a full
service banking facility in Cynthiana. 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, club and money market accounts,
certificates of deposits, safe deposit facilities and other
consumer-oriented financial services. In 2000, Kentucky
Bank made Internet banking available to its customers at
www.kybank.com. Through its Wealth Management Department,
Kentucky Bank provides brokerage services, personal trust
and agency services (including management agency services)
and, to a lesser extent, corporate trust services (including
the management of corporate pension and profits sharing
plans).

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.



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 Department 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. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect
the operations of the subsidiary. 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.

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.



Beginning January 1, 2001, a new accounting standard
requires all derivatives to be recorded at fair value.
Unless designated as hedges, changes in these fair values
will be recorded in the income statement. Fair value
changes involving hedges will generally be recorded by
offsetting gains and losses on the hedge and on the hedged
item, even if the fair value of the hedged item is not
otherwise recorded. The Company periodically enters into
non-exchange traded mandatory forward sales contracts in
conjunction with its mortgage banking operation. These
contracts, considered derivatives, typically last 90 days
and are used to hedge the risk of interest rate changes
between the time of the commitment to make a loan to a
borrower at a stated rate and when the loan is sold. The
Company did not have any mandatory forward sales contracts
at December 31, 2000. As allowed in conjunction with the
adoption of this standard, the Company transferred its
entire securities held to maturity portfolio to available
for sale. As a result of this transfer and the
corresponding adjustment to fair value, on January 1, 2001
securities increased $407,000, other assets decreased
$138,000, and accumulated other comprehensive income
increased $269,000.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 eliminates restrictions
imposed by the Glass-Steagall Financial Services Law,
adopted in the 1930s, which prevented banking, insurance and
securities firms from fully entering each other's
businesses. While it is still uncertain what the impact of
this legislation will be, it is likely to result in further
consolidation in the financial services industry. In
addition, removal of these barriers will likely increase the
number of entities providing banking services, thereby
increasing competition.

Employees

At December 31, 2000, the number of full time equivalent
employees of the Company was 159.

Item 2. Properties

The main banking office of Kentucky Bank, which also serves
as the principal office of Bourbon Bancshares, Inc., is
located at Fourth and Main Streets, Paris, Kentucky 40361.
In addition, Kentucky Bank serves customer needs at 10 other
locations. All locations, except for the Cynthiana office
(which is a loan production office), offer a full range of
banking services. In Cynthiana, land has been purchased and
plans have been made to construct a full service facility
during the 2001 year. Kentucky Bank owns all of the
properties at which it conducts its business, except the
location in Scott County at Paris Pike, which is leased.
The Company owns approximately 63,000 square feet of office
space and leases approximately 2,000 square feet of office
space, with aggregate annual lease payments of approximately
$16 thousand in 2000.

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.



PART II

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters

The Company's Common Stock is not listed on any national
securities exchange nor is it quoted on the NASDAQ system.

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
2000 data. On June 8, 1999, the stockholders approved a two-
for-one stock split effective July 15, 1999. All shares and
per share amounts have been retroactively restated to
reflect the split.

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 and regulation (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.

Summary

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $5.3
million, or $1.87 per common share compared to $4.5 million,
or $1.59 for 1999 and $3.8 million, or $1.36 for 1998.
Earnings per share assuming dilution were $1.83, $1.55 and
$1.33 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For 2000, net
income increased $803 thousand, or 18%. Net interest income
increased 13%, loan loss provision increased 7%, other
income increased 12% and other expenses increased 10%.
During 1999, net income increased $647 thousand, up 17%.
Net interest income increased 14% and the loan loss
provision remained relatively constant, while other income
increased 10% and other expenses increased 11%.

Return on average equity was 15.6% in 2000 compared to 14.6%
in 1999 and 13.6% in 1998. Return on average assets was
1.49% in 2000 compared to 1.39% in 1999 and 1.31% in 1998.

Non-performing loans as of a percentage of loans (including
held for sale) were 0.66%, 0.31% and 0.50% as of December
31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. With emphasis on
loan growth and through management's concerted effort on
loan quality, these ratios have remained well below peer
groups over the last three years.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the Company's largest source of
revenue, on a tax equivalent basis increased from $11.7
million in 1998 to $13.2 million in 1999 to $14.9 million in
2000. The taxable equivalent adjustment (nontaxable
interest income on state and municipal securities net of the
related non-deductible portion of interest expense) is based
on our Federal income tax rate of 34%.

Based on the volume rate analysis that follows, during 2000,
average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities
continued to increase. Average earning assets increased $36
million, or 12%. This increase in volume accounted for 72%
of the increase in net interest income. Bank-wide efforts
to increase loan demand have also been successful. Loans
were the largest contributor to the 2000 increase with real
estate mortgages increasing $29 million from 1999 to 2000.
Average interest liabilities increased $27 million, or 11%
during this same period. The increase in volume accounted
for 46% of the increase in interest expense. Certificates
of deposit and other time deposits composed $19 million of
this increase. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances made
up an additional $5 million. The Company continues to
actively pursue quality loans and fund these primarily with
deposits and FHLB advances. During 2000 rates were on the
rise. Bank prime rates increased 100 basis points during
the year. As a result of this, the tax equivalent yield on
earning assets increased from 8.00% in 1999 to 8.54% in
2000. The volume rate analysis that follows indicates that
28% of the increase in interest income was attributable to
the change in rates. The rate increase also caused an
increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. The
average rate of these liabilities increased from 4.29% in
1999 to 4.99% in 2000. Based on the volume rate analysis
that follows, the change in rates was responsible for 54% of
the change in interest expense. As a result, 2000 gross and
net interest income and margin is attributed to increases in
volume reduced slightly by the negative impact of increases
in rates. In spite of the conversely positive impact on net
interest income that may result from the declining rates
environment in 2001, competitive pressures on interest rates
will continue and are likely to result in tighter net
interest margins.

Average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities both
increased from 1998 to 1999. The increase in earning assets
of $24 million offset with a decline of 18 basis points in
the tax equivalent yield have resulted in tax equivalent
interest income increasing $1.5 million. Average loans
increased $28 million along with a 25 basis point drop in
the yield, resulting in the loan income increasing $2
million. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $20
million, which coupled with a 42 basis point decline in the
yield caused the interest on liabilities to decline $119
thousand. The $488 thousand decline in deposit interest is
a result of average deposits increasing $12 million and the
corresponding yield dropping 47 basis points.



The accompanying analysis of changes in net interest income
in the following table shows the relationships of the volume
and rate portions of these increases in 2000 and 1999.
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 $3.8 million in 2000 compared to $3.4
million in 1999 and $3.1 million in 1998. The $413 thousand
increase in 2000 is mainly attributable to an increase in
service charges, as a result of an increase in overdraft
charges of $444 thousand. In 2000 securities losses were
$88 thousand compared to $1 thousand gains in 1999 and $41
thousand gains in 1998. These resulted principally from U.
S. Treasury securities sold before maturity to obtain
interest yields. In addition, gains on loans sold were $133
thousand, $351 thousand and $440 thousand in 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively. During 2000 and 1999, the volume of
origination of mortgage loans held for sale declined. Loans
held for sale are generally sold after closing to the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. During 2000, the
Company sold some loans along with their servicing rights
and therefore there was a slight decline in loan service fee
income in 2000. The sales of loans were $15 million, $25
million and $35 million in 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Volume of loan sales are inverse to rate
changes. The rate environment in 2000 and 1999 was rising
and therefore resulted in declining loan sales. Rates have
fallen in the first quarter of 2001 and as a result, will
favorably impact our loan sales in 2001 compared to 2000.
Other noninterest income excluding security and loans net
gains was $3.8 million in 2000, $3.0 million in 1999 and
$2.6 million in 1998. Service charges and trust department
income have both been big contributors to this increase in
income over this three-year period. Overdraft income
increased $444 thousand in 2000, principally the result of
increases in deposits and implementation of a new "Kentucky
Courtesy" overdraft in the last quarter of 2000.

Noninterest expense increased $952 thousand in 2000 to $10.4
million, $908 thousand in 1999 to $9.4 million from $8.5
million in 1998. The increases in salaries and benefits
from $4.5 million in 1998 to $5.1 million in 1999 and to
$5.5 million in 2000 are mainly attributable to normal
salary and benefit increases and a change in bonus
compensation in 1999, with an increased focus on incentive
compensation. Due to this change, bonuses were $23 thousand
higher in 2000 compared to 1999 and $234 thousand higher in
1999 compared to 1998. Occupancy expense increased $177
thousand, or 13% in 2000 to $1.5 million and increased $197
thousand, or 17% in 1999 to $1.4 million and 16% in 1998, to
$1.2 million. The Company has purchased land and plans are
under way to construct a new full service facility in
Cynthiana. This project is expected to be complete toward
the end of the third quarter of 2001. Other noninterest
expense increased from $2.8 million in 1998 to $3.0 million
in 1999 and in 2000 other noninterest expenses increased to
$3.3 million.



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 $2.0 million in 2000
compared to $1.7 million in 1999 and $1.4 million in 1998.
This represents an effective income tax rate of 27.9% in
2000 and in 1999, and 26.5% in 1998. 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. The higher effective rate for 1999 compared to
1998 is a result of tax-free income remaining virtually
unchanged for these two years while income before taxes
increased $995 thousand in 1999 and $619 thousand in 1998.

Balance Sheet Review

Assets at year-end 2000 totaled $372 million compared to
$347 million in 1999 and $309 million in 1998. In 2000,
loan growth was $34 million and deposit growth was $26
million. FHLB advances declined $5 million. An additional
$5 million FHLB advance was received in 2000 and the short
term advance of $10 million discussed below was repaid.
Loan growth of $32 million in 1999 was funded by deposit
growth of $16 million and an increase in borrowings of $20
million. At the end of 1999, Cash and Due From Banks were
$9 million higher and an additional short term FHLB advance
was obtained for $10 million as a precaution for possible
Y2K anxieties. The advance was repaid in the first quarter
of 2000 and cash and due from banks returned to their normal
levels in the first quarter of 2000 also.



Loans

Total loans (including loans held for sale) were $273
million at December 31, 2000 compared to $242 million at the
end of 1999 and $213 million in 1998. As of the end of 2000
and compared to the prior year-end, real estate construction
loans decreased $1.7 million, real estate mortgage loans
(including loans held for sale) increased $24.9 million,
agricultural loans increased $5.6 million and installment
loans increased $2.4 million. As of the end of 1999 and
compared to the prior year-end, commercial loans increased
$2.5 million, real estate construction loans increased $5.9
million, real estate mortgage loans (including loans held
for sale) increased $13.6 million, agricultural loans
increased $2.2 million and installment loans increased $4.8
million. Since 1998, management has utilized regional loan
goals for each type of loan and this emphasis has resulted
in improved sales efforts by the lending personnel.
Management continues to place more emphasis on the growth
without sacrificing the quality of the loan portfolio.

As of December 31, 2000, the real estate mortgage portfolio
comprised 60% of total loans compared to 57% in 1999. Of
this, 1-4 family residential property represented 73% in
2000 and 76% in 1999. Agricultural loans comprised 19% in
2000 and in 1999 of the loan portfolio. Approximately 77%
and 75% of the agricultural loans are secured by real estate
for 2000 and 1999, respectively. 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 51% in 2000 and 52% in
1999 of the installment 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. Collateral is generally obtained on these loans
after analyzing the repayment ability of borrower.
Commercial loan's 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 5% 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. Bourbon 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. During
2000 interest rates were rising. As a result of this,
mortgage loan originations decreased from $36 million in
1998 to $22 million in 1999 to $13 million in 2000. The
sale of loans were $15 million, $25 million and $35 million
for the year 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Mortgage
loans held for sale decreased from $3.5 million at December
31, 1999 to $868 thousand at December 31, 2000. Volume of
loan sales are inverse to rate changes. The rate
environment in 2000 and 1999 was rising and therefore
resulted in declining loan sales. Rates have fallen in the
first quarter of 2001 and as a result, will favorably impact
our loan sales in 2001 compared to 2000. The effect of
these changes was also reflected on the income statement.
Loan service fee income was $287 thousand in 2000, $291
thousand in 1999 and $283 thousand in 1998. Fluctuations of
larger degrees are reflected in the gain on sale of mortgage
loans. For 2000, the gain was $133 thousand compared to
$351 thousand in 1999 and $440 thousand in 1998.

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 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 $521 thousand at December 31, 2000,
$606 thousand at December 31, 1999 and $534 thousand at
December 31, 1998. Amortization of mortgage servicing
rights was $155 thousand, $155 thousand and $112 thousand
for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. See Note 4 in the notes to consolidated
financial statements included as Exhibit 13 for additional
information.

Deposits

For 2000, total deposits increased $26 million to $301
million. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $6
million, while time deposits of $100 thousand and over
increased $6 million, and other interest bearing deposits
increased $15 million. Public funds totaled $39 million at
the end of 2000 ($38 million was interest bearing).

Total deposits increased to $275 million in 1999, up $16
million from 1998. Noninterest bearing deposits increased
$3 million, while time deposits of $100 thousand and over,
and other interest bearing deposits both increased $7
million. Public funds totaled $34 million at the end of
1999 ($33 million was interest bearing).

The tables below provide information on the maturities of
time deposits of $100,000 or more at December 31, 2000 and
detail of short-term borrowing for the past three years.

Borrowing

The Company utilizes both long and short term borrowing.
Long term borrowing is mainly from the Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB). As of December 31, 2000, $21.6 million was
borrowed from FHLB, a decrease of $5 million from 1999.
Advances are either paid monthly or at maturity. This
borrowing is mainly used to fund long term, fixed rate
mortgages and to assist in asset/liability management. In
2000, $11.3 million of FHLB advances were paid, and advances
were made for an additional $6.3 million. Nearly $361
thousand of FHLB borrowing was paid in 1999, and advances
were made for an additional $20 million. For potential Y2K
problems, $10 million in advances were received in late 1999
and repaid in early 2000. 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 are documented such as the loan being in the
process of collection. Uncollected interest generally
remains in earned income until collected and removed from
earnings if the loan is charged-off. 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 rates using period-
end data, is shown below.

(1) Net of deferred loan fees

Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2000 were $2.0
million compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 1999 and
$1.1 million at December 31, 1998. Total nonperforming
loans were $1.8 million, $743 thousand and $1.1 million at
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
increase in loans that are 90 days or more is mainly
attributable to one Small Business Administration loan of
$790 thousand. The Company does not expect to incur a loss
on this loan. The amount of lost interest on our non-
accrual loans is immaterial. At December 31, 2000, 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, 2000 were $395 thousand
compared to $201 thousand in 1999 and $286 thousand in 1998.
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 $117
thousand, $10 thousand and $85 thousand on December 31,
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

(1) Net of deferred loan fees



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 2000 was $750 thousand compared to $700 thousand
in 1999 and $700 thousand in 1998. Net charge-offs were
$465 thousand in 2000, $332 thousand in 1999 and $287
thousand in 1998. Net charge-offs to average loans were
0.18%, 0.15% and 0.15% in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
With the current quality of the loan portfolio, the loan
loss provision stayed constant from 1998 to 1999, and
increased $50 thousand in 2000. The trend in the loan loss
provision increasing for 2000 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. At December
31, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was 1.24% of loans
outstanding compared to 1.28% at year-end 1999 and 1.28% in
1998. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at
the end of 2000 is adequate to cover probable 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

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, 2000
increased $3.9 million to $34.5 million. Total
stockholders' equity, excluding accumulated other
comprehensive income was $35.9 million at December 31, 2000.
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.

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, 2000, the bank had ratios that
exceeded the minimum requirements established for the "well
capitalized" category.

In management's opinion, there are no 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, including those classified as held to maturity
and available for sale, decreased from $70.6 million at
December 31, 1999 to $68.1 million at December 31, 2000.
The decrease is mainly attributable to the increased loan
demand. Federal funds sold totaled $3.7 million at December
31, 2000 and $675 thousand at December 31, 1999. As allowed
in conjunction with the adoption of the new "derivative"
standard, the Company transferred its entire securities held
to maturity portfolio to available for sale on January 1,
2001.

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 $12.4
million of adjustable asset backed securities held on
December 31, 2000, $3.3 million are repriceable monthly and
the remaining $9.1 million are repriceable annually. Of the
$14.6 million of adjustable asset backed securities held on
December 31, 1999, $3.4 million are repriceable monthly and
the remaining $11.2 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 exist 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, 2000.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The majority of Bourbon's assets and liabilities are
monetary in nature. Therefore, Bourbon 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 growing 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

Beginning January 1, 2001, a new accounting standard
requires all derivatives to be recorded at fair value.
Unless designated as hedges, changes in these fair values
will be recorded in the income statement. Fair value
changes involving hedges will generally be recorded by
offsetting gains and losses on the hedge and on the hedged
item, even if the fair value of the hedged item is not
otherwise recorded. The Company periodically enters into
non-exchange traded mandatory forward sales contracts in
conjunction with its mortgage banking operation. These
contracts, considered derivatives, typically last 90 days
and are used to hedge the risk of interest rate changes
between the time of the commitment to make a loan to a
borrower at a stated rate and when the loan is sold. The
Company did not have any mandatory forward sales contracts
at December 31, 2000. As allowed in conjunction with the
adoption of this standard, the Company transferred its
entire securities held to maturity portfolio to available
for sale. As a result of this transfer and the
corresponding adjustment to fair value, on January 1, 2001
securities increased $407,000, other assets decreased
$138,000, and accumulated other comprehensive income
increased $269,000.



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. Management considers interest rate risk to be the
most significant market risk. The Company's exposure to
market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the
Asset/Liability Committee. 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, 2000 the projected percentage changes are
within the Board of Directors limits and the Company's
interest rate risk is also within Board of Directors limits.
The projected net interest income report summarizing the
Company's interest rate sensitivity as of December 31, 2000
and December 31, 1999 is as follows:



Projected Net Interest Income (December 31, 2000)

Rate Change: - 300 - 100 Rates + 100 + 300

Year One (1/1/00 - 12/31/2000)
Interest Income $23,593 $25,822 $26,942 $28,063 $30,303
Interest Expense 9,785 11,818 12,834 13,850 15,882

Net Interest Income 13,808 14,004 14,108 14,213 14,421

Net interest income dollar $ (300) $ (104) N/A $ 105 $ 313

Net interest income

Board of Director
Limitation on % Change >-10.0% >-4.0% N/A >-4.0% >-10.0%



These numbers in 2000 show less fluctuation when compared to
1999. In 2000, year one reflected a slight increase in net
interest income of 0.3% compared to 2.1% decrease with a 300
basis point decline. The 300 basis point increase in rates
reflected a 0.3% decrease in net interest income in 2000
compared to a 2.2% increase in 1999. The risk is less in
2000 due to an improved "match" of rate sensitive assets and
rate sensitive liabilities.

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 meeting 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 (including held to maturity) maturing within one
year along with cash and cash equivalents totaled $38.4
million at December 31, 2000. Additionally, securities
available-for-sale with maturities greater than one year
totaled $33.0 million at December 31, 2000. As part of the
new accounting pronouncement mentioned in Note 1 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Exhibit 13 the Company transferred its entire securities
held to maturity portfolio to available for sale on January
1, 2001. This added an additional $15.6 million in
securities to the available for sale portfolio. The
available for sale securities are available to meet
liquidity needs on a continuing basis.

Bourbon 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, 2000 these balances totaled $40 million, approximately
13.4% 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 $22 million from the FHLB at December 31, 2000.

Generally, Bourbon 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
flows 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
December 31
2000 1999 1998
Average Loans (including loans held
for sale)/Average Deposits 89.9% 83.9% 78.7%
Average Securities sold under
Agreements to repurchase and other
Borrowings/Average Assets 2.9% 2.6% 1.8%

This chart shows that the loan to deposit ratio increased in
2000 and 1999. Loan growth of 15% and deposit growth of 7%
in 2000, coupled with loan growth of 15% and deposit growth
of 6% in 1999 have been contributing factors to the change
in this ratio over the past two years.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Directors and officers of the Company and their associates
were customers of and had transactions with the Company's
subsidiary bank in the ordinary course of business during
the year ended December 31, 2000. Similar transactions may
be expected to take place with the Company's subsidiary bank
in the future. Outstanding loans and commitments made by
such subsidiary bank in transactions with the Company's
directors and officers and their associates were made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons and did not involve more
than a normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features. Certain directors and executive
officers were loan customers of Kentucky Bank and
outstanding loans were $1.5 million and $1.2 million as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. See Note 4 in the
notes to consolidated financial statements included as

BOURBON BANCSHARES, INC.

ANNUAL REPORT 2000



Letter to the Shareholders.

Dear Shareholders,

It gives me great pleasure to present the information contained
in this year's annual report. We have just enjoyed our best year
ever. The economy in central Kentucky has been healthy for
several years. This has helped our management and employees
achieve very good results.

Earnings continue to grow strongly. Earnings per share (assuming
dilution) were $1.83 in 2000. This compares with $1.55 in 1999
and $1.33 in 1998. Several years ago some investments were made
to expand our franchise. We are now achieving returns on those
investments.

Our business continued to grow last year. We ended the year with
$372 million in assets, up from $347 million a year ago. During
the year we attracted new customers at a steady pace.

We are using a portion of our earnings to further improve
facilities and strengthen our business. In Winchester we have
made major improvements to our Colby Road office. At this
strategically located branch we have expanded our drive in
facility from three lanes to six. In addition, we have enlarged
the building and updated its appearance. At our downtown Paris
headquarters we are currently in the midst of an historic
renovation of our headquarters building. We have also completed
our plans and awarded a contract to build a new full service
branch office in Cynthiana. That office should be opened during
the second half of this year.

One concern heading into this year is the apparent softening of
the national economy. This has potential to cause problems with
loan quality. In this environment we feel it is prudent to
tighten up on our collection procedures and use extra caution
when looking at new loans. A few other banks have made
announcements that their numbers of loan problems are growing.
We think it's only good judgement at this time to give extra
focus to our loan quality.

During 2001 Kentucky Bank will celebrate its 150th anniversary.
There are a number of bank charters that have been merged into
what is now Kentucky Bank. The oldest of those charters, Deposit
Bank, dates back to 1851. This summer we hope to complete the
historic renovation of our headquarters building in downtown
Paris. At that time we will celebrate our 150th anniversary. I
hope you can join us.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Bourbon Bancshares, Inc. (the Company)
and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kentucky Bank (the Bank).
Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

Nature of Operations: The Bank operates under a state bank
charter and provides full banking services, including trust
services, to customers located in Bourbon, Clark, Harrison,
Jessamine, Scott, Woodford and adjoining counties in Kentucky.
As a state bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the
Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Company, a bank holding
company, is regulated by the Federal Reserve.

Branch Acquisition: On August 13, 1999, the Bank acquired the
Wilmore, Kentucky branch of National City Bank. Included in the
purchase were $9.0 million in net deposits and $353,000 in fixed
assets. The net deposits assumed exceeded the cash received by
$287,000.

Estimates in the Financial Statements: The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for
loan losses and fair value of financial instruments are
particularly subject to change.

Cash Flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal
funds sold, and certain short-term investments with maturities of
less than three months. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-
day periods. Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit
transactions.

Investment Securities: The Company is required to classify its
investment securities portfolio into three categories: trading
securities, securities available for sale and securities held to
maturity. Fair value adjustments are made to the securities based
on their classification with the exception of the held to
maturity category. The Company has no investments classified as
trading.

Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair
value. The difference between amortized cost and fair value is
recorded in stockholders' equity, net of related income tax,
under accumulated other comprehensive income. Changes in this
difference are recorded as a component of comprehensive income.
Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recorded
as adjustments to interest income using the constant yield
method.



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investment securities for which the Company has the positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity are stated at cost,
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts
which are recorded as adjustments to interest income using the
constant yield method.

Gains or losses on dispositions are based on the net proceeds and
the adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the
specific identification method.

Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale are valued at the lower
of cost or market as determined by outstanding commitments from
investors or current secondary market prices, calculated on the
aggregate loan basis.

Loans: Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal,
reduced by an allowance for loan losses. Interest income on
loans is recognized on the accrual basis except for those loans
on a nonaccrual status. The accrual of interest on impaired loans
is discontinued when management believes, after consideration of
economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the
borrowers' financial condition is such that collection of
interest is doubtful. When interest accrual is discontinued,
interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent
cash payments are received.

Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are
capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the
related loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a
valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses,
increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by
charge-offs less recoveries. 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. Allocations of the allowance may be made for
specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any
loan that, in management's judgment, should be charged-off. Loan
losses are charged against the allowance when management believes
the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not
expected. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance
loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer,
and credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other
loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is
allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value
of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or
at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely
from the collateral.



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Mortgage Servicing Rights: 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 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.

Bank Premises and Equipment: Bank premises and equipment are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
recorded principally by the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the bank premises and equipment.

Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure: Real estate acquired
through foreclosure is carried at the lower of the recorded
investment in the property or its fair value. The value of the
underlying loan is written down to the fair value of the real
estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan
losses, if necessary. Any subsequent write-downs are charged to
operating expenses. Operating expenses of such properties, net of
related income, and gains and losses on their disposition are
included in other expenses.

Repurchase Agreements: Substantially all repurchase agreement
liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers.
Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not
covered by federal deposit insurance.

Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current
year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax
assets and liabilities. The Company uses the liability method
for computing deferred income taxes. Under the liability method,
deferred income taxes are based on the change during the year in
the deferred tax liability or asset established for the expected
future tax consequences of differences in the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets include a premium on
deposits paid in connection with the acquisition of branches
which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten or
fifteen years and capitalized mortgage servicing rights which are
being amortized over the life of the related loans.

Earnings Per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is
net income divided by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential
common shares issuable under stock options. Earnings and
dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and
dividends through the date of issuance of the financial
statements.



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income consists of net
income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive
income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities
available for sale which are also recognized as a separate
component of equity.

New Accounting Pronouncements: Beginning January 1, 2001, a new
accounting standard requires all derivatives to be recorded at
fair value. Unless designated as hedges, changes in these fair
values will be recorded in the income statement. Fair value
changes involving hedges will generally be recorded by offsetting
gains and losses on the hedge and on the hedged item, even if the
fair value of the hedged item is not otherwise recorded. The
Company periodically enters into non-exchange traded mandatory
forward sales contracts in conjunction with its mortgage banking
operation. These contracts, considered derivatives, typically
last 90 days and are used to hedge the risk of interest rate
changes between the time of the commitment to make a loan to a
borrower at a stated rate and when the loan is sold. The Company
did not have any mandatory forward sales contracts at December
31, 2000. As allowed in conjunction with the adoption of this
standard, the Company transferred its entire securities held to
maturity portfolio to available for sale. As a result of this
transfer and the corresponding adjustment to fair value, on
January 1, 2001 securities increased $407,000, other assets
decreased $138,000, and accumulated other comprehensive income
increased $269,000.

Industry Segments: While the Company's chief decision makers
monitor the revenue streams of the various Company products and
services, operations are managed and financial performance is
evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the
Company's operations are considered by management to be
aggregated into one reportable operating segment.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassification have been made in
the 1998 and 1999 consolidated financial statements to conform to
the 2000 presentation.


NOTE 2 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

Included in cash and due from banks are certain non-interest
bearing deposits that are held at the Federal Reserve or
maintained in vault cash in accordance with average balance
requirements specified by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
The reserve requirement at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was
$191,000 and $7,544,000.

NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company has stock option plans, which are accounted for in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related
interpretations. Under the plans, the Company grants certain
officers and key employees stock option awards which vest and
become fully exercisable at the end of five years. The Company
also grants certain directors stock option awards which vest and
become fully exercisable immediately. The exercise price of each
option, which has a ten year life, was equal to the market price
of the Company's stock on the date of grant; therefore, no
compensation expense was recognized.

Although the Company has elected to follow APB No. 25, Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", requires pro forma disclosures of net
income and earnings per share as if the Company had accounted for
its employee stock options under that Statement. The fair value
of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using an
option-pricing model.

NOTE 13 - LIMITATION ON BANK DIVIDENDS

The Company's principal source of funds is dividends received
from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends
that may be paid by the Bank without prior approval of regulatory
agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that
may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year's
net profits, as defined, combined with the retained net profits
of the preceding two years. During 2001 the Bank could, without
prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $3,809,000
plus any 2001 net profits retained to the date of the dividend
declaration.


NOTE 14 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair values of the Company's financial instruments at
December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

2000 1999
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Amount Value Amount Value
(In Thousands)
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents $ 15,345 $ 15,345 $ 20,717 $ 20,717
Investment securities 68,054 68,461 70,623 70,847

FHLB advances 21,644 21,847 26,592 25,892
Interest payable 3,427 3,427 2,142 2,142



NOTE 14 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(Continued)

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash
equivalents, short-term borrowings, Federal Home Loan Bank stock,
accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-
term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice
frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market
prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available,
on the rate and term of the security and information about the
issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate
loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits,
fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market
rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values
for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow
analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of debt is
based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is not
considered material.


NOTE 15 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

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:

2000 1999

Unused lines of credit $ 33,901,000 $ 37,976,000
Commitments to make loans 1,137,000 3,800,000
Letters of credit 856,000 453,000

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 6.75% to 7.375% with maturities ranging from 15 to
30 years and are intended to be sold.



NOTE 16 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Bank is a defendant in legal actions arising from normal
business activities. Management believes these actions are
without merit or that the ultimate liability, if any, resulting
from them will not materially affect the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations.


NOTE 17 - STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

Stock Split: On March 9, 1999, the stockholders approved an
amendment to Bourbon Bancshares, Inc.'s Articles of Incorporation
to increase the authorized common stock to 10,000,000 shares. On
June 8, 1999, the stockholders approved a two-for-one common
stock split. All shares and per share amounts have been
retroactively restated to reflect the split.

Regulatory Matters: The Company and the Bank are subject to
various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's
financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company
and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Company's and the Bank's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated
under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and Bank
capital amounts and classifications are also subject to
qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total and
Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted
assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as
defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2000 and 1999,
that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.



NOTE 17 - STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (Continued)

The most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum
Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as
set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or
events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institution's category.

The Company's and the Bank's actual amounts and ratios are
presented in the table below:


To Be Well
Capitalized

For Capital Corrective

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS



Board of Directors
Bourbon Bancshares, Inc.
Paris, Kentucky



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Bourbon Bancshares, Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and
the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Bourbon Bancshares, Inc. as of December 31, 2000 and
1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in

PROXY STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to shareholders of Bourbon
Bancshares, Inc., a Kentucky Corporation (the "Company"), in connection
with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board") from holders of record of the Company's outstanding Common
Shares (the "Common Shares") as of the close of business on March 15, 2001
(the "Annual Meeting Record Date"), for use at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of the Company (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on
Wednesday, May 2, 2001, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) at the
Company's Main Office Board Room of Kentucky Bank, Fourth and Main
Streets, Paris, Kentucky, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof.
This Proxy Statement is first being mailed to the Company's shareholders
on or about March 15, 2001. The principal executive offices of the
Company are located at Fourth and Main Streets, Paris, Kentucky 40361.
Its telephone number is (859) 987-1795.

Purposes of the Annual Meeting

At the Annual Meeting, holders of Common Shares will be asked to
consider and to vote upon the following matters:

(1) To elect two Class II directors:
(2) To ratify the appointment of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP
as the Company's independent auditors for the 2001 fiscal
year and
(3) To transact such other business as may properly come before
the meeting.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the election of the
Board's nominees for Class II directors and the ratification of the
Board's appointment of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP as the Company's
independent auditors for the 2001 fiscal year. As of the date of this
Proxy Statement, the Board knows of no other business to come before the
Annual Meeting.

Voting Rights and Proxy Information

Only holders of record of Common Shares as of the close of business
on the Annual Meeting Record Date will be entitled to notice of and to
vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. As
of December 31, 2000, there were 2,808,067 Common Shares outstanding and
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The presence either in person or
by properly executed proxy, of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Common Shares as of the Annual Meeting Record Date is
necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Holders of Common
Shares are entitled to one vote per share on any matter, other than the
election of directors, that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
In the election of directors, holders of Common Shares have cumulative
voting rights whereby each holder is entitled to vote the number of Common
Shares owned multiplied by two (the number of directors to be elected at
the Annual Meeting), and each holder may cast the whole number of votes
for one candidate or distribute such votes among two or more candidates.
The Board of Directors is soliciting discretionary authority for the
individuals appointed in the proxies to cumulate votes represented by
properly executed proxies and to vote for less than all the Company's
nominees to the Board if deemed appropriate to ensure the election of as
many of the Company's nominees to the Board as possible.

Those persons receiving the two highest number of votes in the
election of directors will be elected to the Board. The appointment of
Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP as the company's independent auditors for
the 2001 year will be ratified, if the votes cast in favor of ratification
exceed the votes cast against that matter.



All Common Shares that are represented at the Annual Meeting by
properly executed proxies received prior to or at the Annual Meeting and
not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the
instructions indicated in such proxies. If no instructions are indicated,
such proxies will be voted "FOR" (1) the election of the Board's two
nominees as Class II directors of the Company (or, if deemed appropriate
by the individuals appointed in the proxies, cumulatively voted for less
than all of the Board's nominees) and (2) the ratification of Crowe,
