ago.  The increase is due primarily to a decrease in provision for loan losses.

Return on average assets and return on average equity for the third quarter 
of 1996 were 1.40% and 11.67%, respectively, compared to 1.34% and 11.21% for
the same period in 1995.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $9.6 million, compared to $9.8 million for the 
third quarter of 1995.  The net interest margin (net interest income as a 
percentage of average earning assets), decreased to 4.89% compared to 5.25% 
for 1995.  Likewise the spread between rates earned and paid decreased from 
4.51% to 4.13%.  The decrease is primarily due to the sale of approximately 
$12 million in high interest rate consumer loans in the second quarter.

Asset Quality

The provision for loan losses decreased $477 thousand compared to the third 
quarter of 1995.  The Company had net charge-offs of $310 thousand compared 
to $497 thousand last year.  

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income of $3.0 million was unchanged from last year.  Service 
charges and fees decreased $38 thousand, or 2.5%.  Trust income decreased 
$28 thousand, or 9.1% to $279 thousand.  Investment gains were 
inconsequential in both years.  Other noninterest income increased $58 
thousand and offset the decline in service charges and fees and trust income.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense was down slightly from $7.7 million to $7.6 
million.  Salaries and benefits, the largest component of noninterest 
expense, decreased $113 thousand, or 2.6%.  Occupancy expenses remained 
stable while equipment expenses decreased $35 thousand or 5.6%.  These 
declines were partially offset by an 8.1% increase in bank shares
tax and a $46 thousand increase in FDIC insurance.  While the FDIC continued
to charge a nominal premium in the third quarter of 1996, it actually gave 
refunds in the third quarter of 1995.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased $25 thousand or 2.0% from the third quarter of 
1995.  The effective tax rate was 29.3% for the third quarter of 1996 down 
from 30.7% for the same period in 1995.

                    First Nine Months of 1996

Net income for the nine months was $9.8 million, or $2.54 per share compared 
to $7.4 million, or $1.92 for the same period in 1995.  

The return on average assets was 1.45% compared to 1.16% for the same period
in 1995.  The return on average equity was 12.20%, up from 9.79% for the 
first nine months of 1995.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first nine months totaled $50.7 million, compared
to $49.7 million last year.  Interest and fees on loans is down $329 
thousand, less than 1%.  Interest on taxable securities is up $1.0 million, 
or 17.1%.  Interest on nontaxable securities is also up $413 thousand, or 
24.3%.  Interest on short term investments is down $139 thousand, or 6.2%

Interest expense on deposits is up $1.1 million, or 5.8%.  Interest expense 
on other borrowed funds is down $285 thousand, or 19.9%.

The net interest margin decreased to 5.00% from 5.20% for the first nine 
months in 1995.  The spread decreased to 4.25% from 4.47%.

Asset Quality

The provision for loan losses increased $851 thousand, or 31.4%, compared to
1995.  The Company had net charge-offs of $3.5 million compared to $3.1 
million in the prior year.  Several loans to one borrower (an entity 
controlled by relatives of a director), totaling $976 thousand were charged 
off during the second quarter of 1995.  Remaining loans with this borrower 
have been charged-off in 1995 and in the second quarter of 1996.  Charge-offs
of $733 thousand occurred in the second quarter of 1996 at the consumer 
finance subsidiary.  On May 31, 1996, all the loans of the consumer finance 
subsidiary were sold and operations were ceased.  Moreover, an improvement 
in asset quality can be seen in the decline in net charge-offs in the third 
quarter as well as the decline in nonperforming assets.  On September 30, 
1996, nonperforming assets were $6.0 million, down $920 thousand, or 13.2% 
from year-end 1995.

The allowance for loan losses was 1.54% of net loans, down slightly from 
1.56% at the end of 1995.  Management believes the current reserve is 
adequate to cover any potential future losses within the loan portfolio.  
Management also continues to emphasize collection efforts and evaluation of 
risks within the portfolio.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled 
$11.7 million, up $3.1 million from the first nine months of 1995 due 
primarily to a gain on sale of loans in the second quarter.  Service charges 
and fees increased $323 thousand, or 8.2%.  Trust income was down $53 
thousand, or 7.0%.           

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $23.3 
million, down $1.0 million, or 4.3% from last year.  Salaries and benefits 
were up $231 thousand, or 1.9%.  Occupancy expense was down $111 thousand, 
or 6.8%.  Equipment expense also decreased $72 thousand, or 3.7%.  FDIC 
insurance decreased $741 thousand, or 98.7%, due to the FDIC charging a 
nominal premium in the first nine months of 1996.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased $1.1 million, or 33.0% from last year and totaled 
$4.3 million.  The effective tax rate remained flat at 30.3%.

                       Financial Condition

Total assets were $922 million on September 30, 1996, an increase of $15.7 
million, or 1.7% from December 31, 1995.  Assets averaged $896 million for 
the first nine months of 1996, an increase of $34 million, or 3.9% from 1995.

Loans

Net loans increased $6.5 million, or 1.2% from December 31, 1995 to $550 
million.  The increase in loans can be primarily attributed to a $6.0 
million increase in leases at the Company's lease financing subsidiary.  
In addition, the Company's banking affiliates have experienced enough loan 
growth in the first nine months of 1996 to make up for the approximately $12 
million in net loans sold by the Company's consumer finance subsidiary 
earlier this year.  On average, loans and leases represented 66.8% of 
earning assets compared to 69.3% for 1995.


Temporary Investments

Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell 
averaged $51 million, relatively unchanged from the average of $52 million 
at year end.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were $230 million on September 30, 1996, a $3.4 
million or 1.5% increase from year-end 1995.  Available for sale and held to 
maturity securities were $121 million and $109 million, respectively.  
Investment securities averaged $220 million for the first nine months, an 
increase of $33 million, or 17.7%, from the 1995 average.  Unrealized net 
losses on securities available for sale were $567 thousand on September 30, 
1996, as compared to $826 thousand on December 31, 1995.  The unrealized net 
loss relates entirely to debt securities which the Company has the capability
to hold to maturity and, therefore, should not realize any loss of principal.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets totaled $6.0 million on September 30, 1996, down $920 
thousand, or 13.2%, from year-end 1995.  Nonperforming assets to total equity
declined to 5.57% from 6.63%.  Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans 
and other real estate was 1.12%, down from 1.28% at year-end.

Nonaccrual loans were $3.0 million, up slightly from $2.9 million from 
year-end.  Loans 90 days past due increased to $2.3 million from $1.7 
million.  Restructured loans were $626 thousand, down from $1.6 million.  
Other real estate owned decreased significantly to $58 thousand at 
September 30, 1996, down from $776 thousand at year-end 1995.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $14.4 million, or 1.9%, from year-end to $769 
million.  Deposits averaged $751 million during the first nine months of 1996.

Borrowed Funds

Borrowed funds totaled $35 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 7.9% from 
year-end 1995.  Borrowed funds averaged $30 million.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity was $108 million on September 30, 1996, increasing $3.2 
million from year-end.  During the third quarter of 1996 the Company 
purchased 67,400 shares of its own stock at an average cost of $39.31.  The 
resulting decreases in common stock outstanding, surplus, and retained 
earnings totaled $2.6 million and were more than offset by the quarter's net 
income.  Dividends of $4.2 million were declared during the first nine months
of 1996.

The Company's ratios as of September 30, 1996 and the regulatory minimums are as
follows:

                                     Farmers Capital       Regulatory
                                     Bank Corporation       Minimum

Tier 1 risk based                              18.33%              4.00%
     
Total risk based                               19.58%              8.00%

Leverage                                       11.87%              3.00%

The capital ratios of all the subsidiary banks, on an individual basis, were 
in excess of the applicable minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements at 
September 30, 1996.

Liquidity

The liquidity of the Company is dependent on the receipt of dividends from 
its subsidiary banks.  Management expects that in the aggregate its 
subsidiary banks will continue to have the ability to dividend adequate funds
to the Company during the remainder of 1996.

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 are:

1.   The bank's core deposits consisting of both business and nonbusiness 
     deposits.

2.   Cash flow generated by repayment of loan principal and interest

3.   Federal funds purchased

Liquidity projections are reviewed on a monthly basis and it is rare for a 
bank to call on the third source of funds to meet liquidity requirements.  
Generally, sources one and two are sufficient.  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.

Part II

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Reference is made to Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in Registrant's Annual Report 
on Form  10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 for a description of
a civil suit brought against the Registrant's Georgetown affiliate on 
August 1, 1994 by a loan customer.  On October 16, 1996, the court dismissed
certain counts and granted summary judgement on the remaining.  Although the 
plaintiff has the option to appeal the decision, management still believes 
the action is without merit and that any liability resulting from one or more
of the claims will not materially affect the Registrant's consolidated 
financial position or results of operations, although resolution in any year 
or quarter could be material for that period.

There have been no other significant changes in contingencies or commitments, 
including other pending litigation to report at this time.

ITEM 5 - OTHER INFORMATION

On October 28, 1996, the Corporation announced an increase in their quarterly 
dividend from thirty-six cents per share to forty-one cents per share, which 
represents an increase of 13.9%.  Holders of record of the Corporation's 
stock as of December 1, 1996 will be paid on January 1, 1997.  The action to 
increase the dividend was taken at the Board of Director's meeting on 
October 28, 1996.

ITEM 6 - EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

a)   Exhibits - none

b)   Reports on Form 8-K  (1) On July 3, 1996, the Corporation filed a report
