NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of Farmers Capital
Bank Corporation (the "Company"),  a bank 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 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 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 of the  Company  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 generally accepted
accounting principles for complete 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, 1998.

2.   RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain   reclassifications   have  been  made  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements of prior periods to conform to the current period presentation.

3.   STOCK SPLIT

On January 26, 1998,  the  Company's  Board of Directors  approved a two-for-one
stock split of its common stock.  The stock split was effective July 1, 1998 for
holders of record on June 1,  1998.  The stock  split  increased  the  Company's
outstanding  common shares from  3,777,620 to 7,555,240  shares on July 1, 1998.
Accordingly, all references in the Consolidated Financial Statements, Footnotes,
and Supplementary  data to the number of shares,  per share amounts,  and market
prices of the  Company's  common  stock have been  restated to give  retroactive
recognition to the stock split.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         of Operations
         -------------

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report 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 in which the Company and its subsidiaries  operate);
competition  for the  Company's  customers  from other  providers  of  financial
services; government legislation and regulation (which changes from time to time
and over which the Company has no control);  changes in 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                   Second Quarter 1999 vs. Second Quarter 1998
                   -------------------------------------------

The Company  reported net income of $3.7  million or $.49 per diluted  share for
the second  quarter of 1999  compared to net income of $3.2  million or $.42 per
diluted  share for the second  quarter of 1998.  The  increase  in net income is
primarily  attributed  to a  reduction  in  salaries  and  employee  benefits of
$488,000 or 9.8% and an increase in net interest income of $356,000 or 3.5%

Return on average  assets was 1.49% for the second  quarter of 1999  compared to
1.35% reported for the same period of 1998.  Return on average equity was 11.81%
for the second  quarter of 1999,  an increase of 112 basis points from 10.69% in
the same period of 1998.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net interest  income  totaled $10.4  million for the second  quarter of 1999, an
increase  of $356  thousand  or 3.5%  over the  second  quarter  of 1998.  Total
interest  income was $17.1 million for the second quarter of 1999, a decrease of
$204 thousand or 1.2%.  Total interest  expense was $6.7 million for the current
quarter,  a decrease  of $560  thousand  or 7.7%  compared to the same period in
1998.  The  decrease in interest  expense is due  primarily  to a 47 basis point
decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.

Interest and fees on loans decreased $67 thousand despite an increase in average
loans of $23.5 million in the comparison.  The decrease is primarily  attributed
to a 40 basis point  decrease in the average  rate earned on loans.  Interest on
taxable  securities  increased  $159  thousand  or 7.4%  due to a $30.0  million
increase in the average balance. The increase in the average balance offset a 69
basis point decrease in the average rate earned on these securities. Interest on
nontaxable securities increased $98 thousand or 10.7% due to slight increases in
both the average  balance and rate  earned.  Interest on short term  investments
decreased  $394 thousand due to decreases in both the average  balance and rates
earned.

The net interest margin on a tax equivalent  basis decreased to 4.93% during the
second  quarter of 1999  compared  to 4.94% in the second  quarter of 1998.  The
spread between rates earned and paid was 4.20% for the current quarter  compared
to 4.12% in the same period last year.  The increase is primarily  the result of
the 47 basis  point  decrease  in the  average  rate  paid on  interest  bearing
liabilities.

<PAGE>


Noninterest Income
- ------------------

Noninterest income was $3.2 million for the current quarter,  unchanged compared
to the prior year.  Service charges and fees on deposits,  the largest component
of  noninterest  income,  remained  unchanged  at $1.3  million.  Other  service
charges,  commissions,  and fees  were  also  unchanged  at $1.0  million.  Data
processing income decreased $35 thousand to $391 thousand for the second quarter
of 1999.  The  decrease  is  primarily  due to an $41  thousand  decrease in ATM
authorization  fees,  which  is  the  result  of a  decrease  in the  number  of
noncustomer ATM transactions.  Trust fees increased $19 thousand or 6.2% to $326
thousand.  Gains on the sale of available for sale investment securities,  which
were zero in the second  quarter of 1998,  totaled  $46  thousand in the current
quarter. Other noninterest income decreased $56 thousand.

Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

Total  noninterest  expenses  decreased  $504  thousand  or 5.7% from the second
quarter of 1998 to $8.3  million.  Salaries and employee  benefits,  the largest
component of noninterest expense,  decreased $488 thousand or 9.8%. The decrease
in salaries and employee  benefits is primarily  attributed  to a $583  thousand
decrease in noncash  compensation  related to the  Company's  stock option plan.
Occupancy  expense,  net of  rental  income,  increased  $18  thousand  to  $552
thousand.  Equipment  expense  decreased $47 thousand or 7.0%.  Data  processing
expense  decreased $85 thousand or 33.7% to $167 thousand for the second quarter
of 1999. The decrease in data processing  expense is due primarily to a decrease
in credit card  interchange  expenses,  which is the result of a lower volume of
credit card  transactions.  Bank franchise tax was relatively  unchanged at $274
thousand.  Other  noninterest  expense increased $12 thousand or less than 1% to
2.1 million.

Income Taxes
- ------------

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 1999 was $1.2 million,  an increase
of $127  thousand or 12.2% from the second  quarter of 1998.  The  effective tax
rate was 24.18% for the current quarter,  a decrease of 59 basis points from the
second  quarter of 1998.  The  decrease in the  effective  tax rate is due to an
increase in tax exempt income and an increase of investment tax credits  through
participation in low income housing projects.

                            First six months of 1999
                            ------------------------

Net income for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 was $7.2  million or $.96 per
diluted share compared to earnings of $6.8 million or $.89 per diluted share for
the same period in 1998.  The  increase in year to date net income is  primarily
attributed to an increase in net interest  income of $690 thousand or 3.5%. Also
contributing  to the  increase  in net income was a reduction  in  salaries  and
employee benefits of $252 thousand or 2.7% and a $199 thousand or 36.3% decrease
in data processing expense.

Return on average  assets was 1.46% for the six months ended June 30,  1999,  an
increase of 1 basis point from the same period in 1998. Return on average equity
was 11.68%, an increase from 11.52% for the first six months of 1998.

<PAGE>


Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net  interest  income  totaled  $20.6  million for the six months ended June 30,
1999,  an increase of $690 thousand or 3.5% compared to the same period in 1998.
The increase in net interest  income is  primarily  attributed  to a decrease in
interest  expense of $890  thousand.  The  decrease in  interest  expense is the
result of a 42 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities.

Interest  and fees on loans  decreased  $271  thousand or 1.0%.  The decrease is
primarily  attributed  to a decrease in the  average  rate earned on loans of 43
basis points.  Interest on taxable securities  increased $505 thousand or 12.2%.
The increase is primarily  attributed to a $31.4 million increase in the average
balance.  Interest on nontaxable securities increased $235 thousand or 14.0% due
to slight increases in both the average balance and average rate earned on these
securities.  Interest on short term  investments  decreased $669 thousand.  This
decrease is due to decreases in both the average balance and average rate earned
on these investments.

Interest  expense on deposits  decreased  $848 thousand or 6.3%. The decrease is
primarily  due to a decrease  in rates paid of  approximately  42 basis  points.
Interest  expense on other  borrowed  funds  decreased $42 thousand or 4.2%. The
decrease is the result of a 41 basis point decrease in the average rate paid.

Net  interest  margin on a tax  equivalent  basis  decreased to 4.87% during the
first six  months of 1999  compared  to 4.93% for the same  period of 1998.  The
spread  between  rates  earned and paid  remained  unchanged at 4.12% in the six
month comparison.

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

Noninterest income was $6.2 million for the first six months of 1999, a decrease
of $216  thousand or 3.4% compared to the same period in 1998.  Service  charges
and fees on  deposits  remained  relatively  unchanged  at $2.6  million.  Other
service  charges,  commissions,  and fees also was relatively  unchanged at $2.1
million.  Data processing fees decreased $76 thousand or 9.6% primarily due to a
decrease in ATM authorization fees of $81 thousand. Trust fees increased 6.8% to
$646  thousand.  Gains on the sale of available for sale  investment  securities
were $49 thousand, a decrease of $51 thousand compared to the prior year period.
Other  noninterest  income  totaled $182  thousand,  a decrease of $112 thousand
compared to 1998. The decrease is primarily  attributed to  losses  recorded on
the sale of loans of $49 thousand in the current period.

Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

Noninterest  expense  was $16.4  million  for the first  six  months of 1999,  a
decrease of $218 thousand or 1.3% compared to the same period in 1998.  Salaries
and employee benefits,  the largest component of noninterest expense,  decreased
$252  thousand  or 2.7%.  A decrease of $352  thousand  in noncash  compensation
related  to the  Company's  stock  option  plan is the  primary  factor  for the
decrease.  Occupancy  expense,  net of  rental  income,  increased  7.6% to $1.1
million.  The increase is partially  attributed to the Company's ongoing efforts
to expand into new markets.  Equipment  expense increased $114 thousand or 8.5%.
The increase in equipment  expense is primarily due to increases in depreciation
and maintenance related to equipment purchases. Data processing expense was $349
thousand,  a decrease of $199  thousand  or 36.3%.  This  decrease is  primarily
attributed  to  a  $179  thousand   decrease  in  credit  card  interchange  and
processing.  Bank  franchise tax expense  decreased $20 thousand or 3.7%.  Other
noninterest expense increased $61 thousand or 1.5%.

Income Taxes
- ------------

Income  tax  expense  for the first  six  months  of 1999 was $2.5  million,  an
increase of $70 thousand  compared to the same period in 1998. The effective tax
rate was 26.19% for the first six months of 1999,  down from 26.82% in the prior
year. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to an increase in tax exempt
income and an increase of investment tax credits  through  participation  in low
income housing projects.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $1.0 billion on June 30, 1999, an increase of $14.3 million or
1.4% from December 31, 1998. Fluctuations in assets and deposits are typical due
to 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  provides  services  to both the
Kentucky Retirement and Teacher's  Retirement systems. As the depository for the
Commonwealth,  large  fluctuations  in  deposits  are likely to occur on a daily
basis.  On an average  basis,  total  assets were $989 million for the first six
months of 1999, an increase of $34.3 million or 3.6% from year end 1998.

Loans
- -----

Loans,  net of  unearned  income,  totaled  $617  million at June 30,  1999,  an
increase  of $12.5  million  or 2.1%  from  year end  1998.  On  average,  loans
represented 67.5% of earning assets compared to 68.2% for year end 1998. As loan
demand  fluctuates,  the available funds are redirected between either temporary
investments or investment securities.

Allowance for Loan Losses
- -------------------------

The  allowance for loan losses was $9.3 million at June 30, 1999, an increase of
$208 thousand from the prior year end. The allowance for loan losses was 1.5% of
net loans at June 30, 1999.  In  management's  opinion,  the  allowance for loan
losses is adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The provision
for loan losses  increased $201 thousand in the current  period  compared to the
same period in 1998.  The Company had net  charge-offs  of $427  thousand in the
first six months of 1999  compared to net  charge-offs  of $585  thousand in the
same period of 1998.  Management  continues to emphasize  collection efforts and
evaluation of risks within the portfolio.

Nonperforming Assets
- --------------------

Nonperforming  assets for the Company include  nonperforming  loans,  other real
estate owned,  and other  foreclosed  assets.  Nonperforming  loans  consists of
nonaccrual loans,  restructured loans, and loans past due ninety days or more on
which interest in still accruing.  Nonperforming  assets totaled $4.4 million at
June 30,  1999,  a decrease  of $246  thousand  or 5.3% from the prior year end.
Nonperforming  assets to total  equity  decreased  from 3.8% at year end 1998 to
3.6% at June 30,  1999.  Nonnperforming  loans  totaled $3.3 million at June 30,
1999,  an  increase  of $352  thousand  or  12.0%  compared  to year  end  1998.
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of net loans increased from .48% at year end
to .53%.

Other real estate  owned,  which had a balance of $1.7 million at year end 1998,
decreased $628 thousand or 37.6% to $1.0 million as of June 30, 1999.

Temporary Investments
- ---------------------

Time deposits  with banks,  federal funds sold and  securities  purchased  under
agreements  to resell  averaged  $38.4  million,  a decrease of $15.8 million or
29.2% from year end 1998.  Temporary  investments are reallocated as loan demand
presents the opportunity.

<PAGE>


Investment Securities
- ---------------------

Investment  securities  were $249  million on June 30, 1999, a decrease of $13.4
million  or 5.3%  from year end 1998.  Available  for sale and held to  maturity
securities  were  $182  and $67  million,  respectively.  Investment  securities
averaged  $253  million  for the first six months of 1999,  an increase of $31.5
million or 14.2%  from year end 1998.  The  Company  had an  unrealized  loss on
available for sale investment securities of $1.8 million, net of tax, during the
first six months of 1999.

Deposits
- --------

Total  deposits  were $809 million at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $21.1 million
or 2.5% from year end 1998. Noninterest bearing deposits increased $22.9 million
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 $141.1 million during the current  period,  an increase of $12.0 million or
9.3%.  Interest bearing  deposits  decreased $44.1 million during the six months
ended  June 30,  1999  compared  to year end  1998.  Interest  bearing  checking
accounts  make up $32.2 million of the decrease.  On average,  interest  bearing
deposits were $677 million in the current  period,  an increase of $18.1 million
or 2.8% from year end 1998. Total deposits averaged $818 million, an increase of
$30.0 million or 3.8% from year end 1998.

Borrowed Funds
- --------------

Borrowed  funds  totaled  $64.7  million at June 30, 1999,  an increase of $34.4
million from year end 1998. This increase is due primarily to an increase in fed
funds  purchased  of $19.4  million  and an increase  in  repurchase  agreements
entered into with the Commonwealth of Kentucky of $8.7 million. The fluctuations
in repurchase  agreements with the  Commonwealth  are due to the relationship as
described in preceding  sections of this report.  Total  borrowed funds averaged
$40.9 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 4.0%.


LIQUIDITY

The  liquidity  of the Parent  Company is  primarily  affected by the receipt of
dividends from its subsidiary banks and cash balances maintained. As of June 30,
1999 combined retained  earnings of the subsidiary banks were $54.9 million,  of
which $15.8  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.  Management expects that in the aggregate,
its  subsidiary  banks will  continue to have the  ability to dividend  adequate
funds to the Parent Company during the remainder of 1999. The Parent Company had
cash balances of $27.7 million at June 30, 1999.

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

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.

Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks,  short-term  investments,  and
securities  available  for sale.  At June 30,  1999,  such assets  totaled  $290
million,  an increase of $6.3 million from year end 1998.  Net cash  provided by
operating  activities  increased  $6.4  million in the six months ended June 30,
1999 compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily attributed
to increases in the proceeds from the sale of mortgage  loans and an increase in
other  liabilities.  Net cash used in investing  activities was $5.4 million,  a
decrease of $44.3 million.  The decrease is primarily  attributed to an increase
in the proceeds from the sale of available sale  investment  securities of $40.0
million  and a  decrease  in the  purchase  of  investment  securities  of $24.3
million.  Net cash  provided by  financing  activities  was $7.4 million for the
period  ended June 30, 1999  compared  to net cash used of $48.3  million in the
prior year comparison.  The increase is due primarily to the changes in deposits
and other borrowed funds in the six month periods.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders'  equity was $124  million on June 30, 1999,  relatively  unchanged
from year end 1998. The Company  purchased 48 thousand shares of its outstanding
common  stock  during  the  first six  months  of 1999 for a total  cost of $1.7
million.  The Company  issued  1,255 shares of common stock during the first six
months pursuant to its nonqualified stock option plan. Dividends of $4.2 million
or $.56 per share were declared during the first six months of 1999, an increase
of 16.7% per share compared to the prior year. The Company's  available for sale
investment  securities  portfolio had unrealized losses of $1.4 million,  net of
tax at June 30, 1999.

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, 1999, the regulatory
minimums and the regulatory standard for a "well capitalized" institution are as
follows:


                             Farmers Capital      Regulatory          Well
                            Bank Corporation       Minimum         Capitalized
                            ----------------       -------         -----------

Tier 1 risk based                 19.11%             4.00%            6.00%

Total risk based                  20.37%             8.00%           10.00%

Leverage                          12.57%             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, 1999.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The  Company  is aware of the issues  associated  with the  programming  code in
computer  systems that use two digits rather than four to define the  applicable
year. As a result of methods used by earlier programmers, many computer programs
and other equipment using embedded technology, such as microchips, are unable to
distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900. If left  uncorrected  this problem
could result in a major system failure,  miscalculations,  and other disruptions
of operations.  A number of computer systems which are affected by the Year 2000
are utilized by the Company to operate its  day-to-day  business.  Most of these
systems  use  software  developed  by and  licensed  from third  party  software
vendors.

FCB Services,  the Company's  data  processing  subsidiary,  provides  essential
support for  virtually all of the  Company's  subsidiaries  as well as providing
data processing services to unrelated third party banks.  Therefore, it is vital
that the Year 2000 issues are successfully resolved in a timely matter.  Failure
to appropriately  examine and correct systems that are critical to the Company's
operations  could have a material adverse effect on its operations and financial
performance.  The Company's plan for achieving compliance is not only focused on
its own data processing systems, but also on the compliance of its customers and
other third parties. In particular,  commercial loan customers that are not Year
2000  compliant  could  become a  repayment  risk.  Therefore,  the  Company  is
continuing to inform its  significant  commercial  loan customers of the need to
become Year 2000 compliant.  The Company's initial assessment of commercial loan
customers indicates no material impact to the Company. However, the Company will
continue to monitor this risk on an ongoing basis.

The  Company  has formed an  oversight  committee  to  coordinate  the Year 2000
compliance process. This process has been divided into five phases as prescribed
by  regulatory   guidelines.   These  phases  include   awareness,   assessment,
renovation,  validation,  and  implementation.  The awareness,  assessment,  and
renovation  phases generally  include defining the Year 2000 problem and gaining
executive level support for the resources necessary to perform compliance tasks;
establishing  a team to  develop  an overall  strategy;  assessing  the size and
complexity of the problem and detailing the magnitude of the effort necessary to
address  the  issues,  including  noninformation  technology  systems  that  are
dependent on embedded  microchips;  and  addressing  the need for computer  code
enhancements,  hardware  and  software  upgrades,  system  replacements,  vendor
certification,  and other  associated  changes.  These  first  three  phases are
complete.  The  primary  results  of the  first  three  phases  are as  follows:
procedures  were  established  to verify  that all new  purchases  are Year 2000
compliant;  the  assessment of mission  critical  applications  was completed in
September 1997; and a new Year 2000 compliant mainframe computer was placed into
service in May 1998.

The  validation  and  implementation  phases  consist  primarily  of testing the
changes made to any hardware or software  component and to the  certification of
Year 2000 compliance.  In addition to testing upgraded  components,  connections
with other  systems  must be  verified,  and all  changes  should be accepted by
internal  and  external  users.  As with other  phases,  the Company  will be in
ongoing  discussions  with its  vendors,  customers,  and  other  third  parties
regarding the success of their validation efforts.  However,  the Company cannot
control the success of those efforts.  The validation and implementation  phases
of the Company's plan are  substantially  complete.  Testing of mission critical
and noncritical  systems is complete and have resulted in satisfactory  results.
Although  planned  systems  testing is complete,  the Company  will  continue to
monitor  and  evaluate  its  systems  and  upgraded  components  throughout  the
remainder  of 1999  and into the year  2000 and take  appropriate  action  where
necessary.

During  1998,  the  Company  acquired,  installed,  and  tested a new Year  2000
compliant mainframe.  Also, a Year 2000 compliant version of the data processing
software was installed and is currently functioning appropriately.  However, the
Company continues to maintain its business  continuation  plans, for which there
are several options in place for partial failure. These plans generally include,
but are not limited to, replacing electronic applications with manual processes.
For a system wide  failure,  the Company  maintains  a hot site  agreement  with
SunGard  Recovery  Services,  Inc., a Pennsylvania  Corporation for disaster and
recovery services. This agreement, which has been in place since 1990 and tested
twice a year,  provides  replacement  mainframe  and software for the Company to
process with in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Company  believes  that  expenditures  required  to bring its  systems  into
compliance  will not have a material  adverse effect on the Company's  financial
position.  To date,  substantially all of the expenditures have been absorbed in
routine annual maintenance  contracts and have not been incremental costs to the
Company.  This includes the Company's  acquisition  and  installation of the new
mainframe  computer  for  approximately  $1.5  million in 1998  primarily  via a
capital lease,  which is being financed and depreciated over a five year period.
The primary reason for acquiring the new mainframe was to replace an older, less
effective  mainframe and to increase the Company's data processing  capacity and
to  take  advantage  of  newer,  state  of the  art  technology.  The  mainframe
acquisition  and related  costs were  anticipated  by the Company,  and were not
incurred specifically to address Year 2000 compliance.  Other related costs have
been  negligible.  The  Company  does not have a system  in place  for  tracking
payroll and related costs for the time that internal employees spend on the Year
2000  project.   The  Company   believes  that  future   expenditures   relating
specifically  to Year 2000 compliance  will not be material.  However,  the Year
2000 problem is pervasive  and complex and can  potentially  affect any computer
process.  Therefore,  no assurance can be given that Year 2000 compliance can be
achieved without  additional  unanticipated  expenditures and uncertainties that
might affect  future  operating  results.  The  Company's  Year 2000 efforts are
ongoing and its overall plan, including contingency  planning,  will continue to
evolve as new information becomes available.
