      The  following documents of the Registrant  heretofore
filed  with  the  Securities and  Exchange  Commission  (the
"Commission")   are   incorporated  in   this   Registration
Statement by reference:

          A.   The  Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993;

          B.   The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-
Q for the quarters  ended March 31, 1994, June 30, 1994  and
September 30, 1994;

          C.   The Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K
dated January 10, 1994, April 29, 1994 and May 31, 1994; and

          D.   The   description of the Common Stock of the
Registrant contained in a registration statement filed under
Section 12 of the   Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any 
amendment or  report  filed for the purpose of updating such 
description.

      All  documents  subsequently filed by  the  Registrant
pursuant  to  Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14  and  15(d)  of  the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing  of  a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities

statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed  to

modified  or  superseded shall not be deemed, except  as  so

Registration Statement.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts of Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

       Article   XII   of  the  Registrant's   Articles   of
Incorporation, as amended, limits the liability of directors
of   the   Registrant  pursuant  to  the  Kentucky  Business
Corporation  Act.   Under this Article, directors  generally
will   be  personally  liable  to  the  Registrant  or   its
shareholders  for  monetary damages  only  for  transactions
involving  conflicts of interest or from  which  a  director
derives an improper personal benefit, intentional misconduct
or violations of law, and unlawful distributions.

     The Bylaws of the Registrant acknowledge the provisions
for   indemnification  set  out  in  the  Kentucky  Business
Corporation Act. The circumstances under which Kentucky  law
requires   or   permits  a  corporation  to  indemnify   its
directors, officers, employees and/or agents are  set  forth
at KRS 271B.8-500 et seq.

      Generally,  under KRS 271B8-500 et seq., a corporation
may  indemnify  an individual made a party to  a  proceeding
because  he is or was a director against liability  incurred
in the proceeding if (a) he conducted himself in good faith,
and  (b)  he reasonably believed: in the case of conduct  in
his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct
was in its best interests; and, in all other cases, that his
conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests;  and
(c)  in  the  case  of any criminal proceeding,  he  had  no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

      A  corporation  may not indemnify a director:  (a)  in
connection  with  a proceeding by or in  the  right  of  the
corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the
corporation; or (b) in connection with any other  proceeding
charging  improper personal benefit to him, whether  or  not
involving action in his official capacity, in which  he  was
adjudged  liable  on  the basis that  personal  benefit  was
improperly received by him.

       Indemnification  permitted  in  connection   with   a
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is  limited
to  reasonable  expenses  incurred in  connection  with  the
proceeding.

      In  addition, the Registrant maintains directors'  and
officers'  liability insurance covering certain  liabilities
which  may be incurred by the directors and officers of  the
Registrant  in  connection  with the  performance  of  their
duties.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

      The  exhibits listed on the Exhibit Index attached  at
page  8  of this Registration Statement are incorporated  by
reference herein.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

     (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that,
for   purposes  of  determining  any  liability  under   the
Securities  Act  of  1933, each filing of  the  Registrant's
annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d)  of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated  by
reference  in the registration statement shall be deemed  to
be  a  new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time  shall  be deemed to be the initial bona fide  offering
thereof.

      (b)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arises
under  the  Securities  Act  of 1933  may  be  permitted  to
directors  or  officers  and  controlling  persons  of   the
Registrant   pursuant  to  the  foregoing   provisions,   or
otherwise,  the  Registrant has been  advised  that  in  the
opinion  of  the  Securities and  Exchange  Commission  such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act  and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that  a
claim  for  indemnification against such liabilities  (other
than  the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred  or
paid  by a director, officer, or controlling person  of  the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit  or
proceeding)  is  asserted  by  such  director,  officer   or
controlling  person in connection with the securities  being
registered,  the Registrant will, unless in the  opinion  of
its  counsel  the  matter  has been settled  by  controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question  whether  such indemnification  by  it  is  against
public  policy as expressed in the Act and will be  governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (c)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1)  to file, during any period in which offers or
sales  are  being made, a post-effective amendment  to  this
registration   statement  (i)  to  include  any   prospectus   
required by section 10 (a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1993;
(b) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the regristration statement  (or
the  most  recent  post-effective  amendment  thereof) which, 
individually or in the aggregate,  represent  a  fundamental 
change  in  the  information set forth in  the  registration 
statement; (iii)  to  include  any material information with 
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statememt;

      Provided, however, that paragraphs (c) (l) (i)  and (c)
(l) (ii) do  not apply   if  the  information  required to be 
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is 
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to  the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 
15 (d)  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  that are  
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

           (2)   that,  for  the purpose of determining  any
liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of  such securities at that time shall be deemed to  be  the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

           (3)   to remove from registration by means  of  a
post-effective   amendment  any  of  the  securities   being
registered  which remain  unsold at the termination  of  the
offering.
