                            December 31, 1995
          
NOTE 1- ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Except for required accounting changes (see Note 2), the significant
accounting policies followed by The Farmers Bancorp, Frankfort, Indiana
("Bancorp") and its consolidated subsidiary, The Farmers Bank, Frankfort,
Indiana ("Bank") for interim financial reporting are consistent with the
accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting.  All adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
the results for the periods reported have been included in the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements and all such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING CHANGE

In May, 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 114, "Accounting By Creditors For Impairment of
a Loan".  FAS No. 114 as amended by FAS No. 118 requires that allowances for
loan losses on impaired loans be determined using the present value of
estimated future cash flows of the loan, discounted at the loans's effective
interest rate.  A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that
all principal and interest amounts will not be collected according to the loan
contract.  FAS No. 114 and No. 118 are effective for fiscal year beginning
after December 15, 1994.  The Bancorp adopted FAS No. 114 and No. 118, as
required, on July 1, 1995.  Accordingly, on July 1, 1995, management
identified $1,234,000 of loans as impaired and allocated $215,000 of the
Bank's $2.3 million reserve for loan losses for those loans.  At December 31,
1995, management has identified $1,555,000 of loans as impaired and allocated
$185,000 of the Bank's $2.7 million reserve for loans losses for those loans.

                               December 31, 1995

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Total assets increased 2.24 percent from June 30, 1995 to December 31, 1995,
and totaled $231,105,000 at period end.  During the six months ended December
31, 1995, $10,479,000 was used to purchase investments.  However, during the
same period, $9,057,000 of investments matured, were repaid or were called
prior to their maturity.  As a result, total investments increased $1,385,000
or 3.38 percent.  The security gain of $5,000 was due to an investment being
called.  The following table presents, in thousands, the amortized cost and
fair value of investments:

In December 1995, pursuant of new accounting guidance, the Bancorp transferred
$5,010,000 of investment securities to the available-for-sale category.  These
investments were primarily corporate notes.  Other assets totaled $7,533,000
at December 31, 1995, and include insurance policies with a current cash
surrender value of $4,278,000 that were purchased in conjunction with the
formation of deferred compensation and death benefit programs.

Other borrowings decreased to $4,537,000 and consist primarily of Federal Home
Loan Bank advances which were $3,936,000 at December 31, 1995.  The Bank
utilized this source to fund certain commercial real estate loans.  These
advances require annual principal payments, and have a final maturity of
September, 2000.  The Bank may occasionally utilize this source of credit to
maintain liquidity, as well as to fund specific loans.  In addition, the Bank
entered into a lease purchase arrangement during 1994.  For financial
reporting purposes, the lease is considered to be a capital lease and other
borrowings include the remaining present value of future lease payments of
$601,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The Bancorp reported net income, for the first six months of the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1996 of $1,268,000, as compared to $1,160,000 for the prior
year.  Earnings per share were $2.20 and  $2.01, respectively, based on an
average of 577,058 shares outstanding for the six months ended December 31,
1995 and December 31, 1994.  The factors that most affected 1996's
performance, as compared to 1995 are:  increasing loan demand, a shift in mix
of earning assets from investments at lower yields to loans at higher yields,
decreased FDIC expense, and lower expenses resulting from the conversion to an
in-house computer system.  

Total interest income was $9,057,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1995, compared to $8,245,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1994, an
increase of 9.85 percent.   Loans, including those held for sale, increased
$7,810,000, or 5.14 percent, from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995. 
Interest and fees on loans totaled $7,307,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1995, compared to $6,511,000 for the six months ended December
31, 1994, an increase of $796,000, or 12.23 percent.  Investments decreased
$3,593,000, or 7.81 percent, from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995, and
interest income on investments decreased by $259,000 as a result of decreased
volume and yield on investments.  Total interest expense was $4,169,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to $3,418,000 for the same
period in 1994, an increase of $751,000, or 21.97 percent.  Total interest
bearing deposits and repurchase agreements increased $8,402,000, or 4.98
percent from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995.  Interest bearing
transaction account balances increased $6,872,000 from December 31, 1994 to
December 31, 1995, and time deposits outstanding increased $5,535,000 for the
same period.  Repurchase agreements decreased approximately $4,005,000 or
24.41 percent, from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995, as not as many
corporate customers utilized the Bank's Sweep Agreement.  

Average earning assets increased to $216,683,000 during the six months ended
December 31, 1995.  This represents an approximate increase of 6.00 percent
compared to $204,419,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1994.  The
tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets was 8.53 percent for the six
months ended December 31, 1995, compared to 8.20 percent for the six months
ended December 31, 1994.  Total interest expense to average interest bearing
liabilities was 4.54 percent for the six months ended December 31, 1995,
compared to 3.48 percent for the six months ended December 31, 1994.  This
results in a tax-equivalent net interest margin (net tax-equivalent interest
income divided by average earning assets) of 4.66 percent and 4.72 percent for
the six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase
in average earning assets offset the decline in margin, and resulted in net
interest income increasing by $61,000, or 1.26 percent.  The decrease in
interest margin is a trend that management anticipates will slowly continue.

The provision for loan losses increased $121,000 or 101.68 percent to $240,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to $119,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1994.  Net chargeoffs (recoveries) for the six
months ended December 31, 1995 totaled $(147,000).  Net chargeoffs
(recoveries) by loan type aggregated $(178,000) for commercial and
agricultural loans, $24,000 for consumer loans, $0 for real estate loans, and
$7,000 for credit card loans.  On December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan
losses totaled $2,735,000 or 1.71 percent of loans, compared to $2,348,000 or
1.50 percent of loans on June 30, 1995, and $2,789,000 or 1.84 percent of
loans at December 31, 1994.  The provision is determined by management based

upon a detailed review of the risk factors affecting the loan portfolio,
including changes in the portfolio's size and mix, past loan loss experience,
and the financial condition of borrowers in the prevailing economic
environment.  Reserves are allocated based upon the Bank's historical loss
experience, adjusted for recent loss trends, the economic environment, current
levels of non-performing loans, and management's expectations for the future.

The Bancorp's Loan Review function develops a quarterly "watch list" report
representing loans with more than a normal degree of risk.  These credits are
reviewed and, as needed, specific allocations of the reserve are made for
specific loans to provide for potential loss exposure.  Effective July 1,
1995, the Bank adopted FAS 114.  This new accounting standard requires
reserves for loans designated as "impaired" to be determined based upon the
present value of estimated future cash flows or the present value of
collateral securing the loans as opposed to undiscounted values.  Accordingly,
management has designated $1,555,000 of loans as impaired at December 31, 1995
and allocated $185,000 of the allowance for loan losses to such loans, as
compared to $1,163,000 and $215,000 respectively as of September 30, 1995. 
Management has historically reviewed individual problem credits and allocated
reserves based on discounted collateral values, when appropriate. 
Accordingly, the adoption of FAS 114 did not significantly affect management's
analysis of the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses or materially increase
the amount of the allowance allocated to specific problem credits.  A summary
of management's calculation of the adequacy of the Bank's loan loss reserve is
presented below for both December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

The Bancorp received lower levels of paybacks from most of its agricultural
customers from the 1995 crop season.  This was due to unfavorable weather
conditions during the summer.  Management continues to monitor and evaluate
individual credits to forecast expected levels of loan repayment, collateral
values and attendant loss exposure.

Non-performing loans, consisting of non-accrual loans, restructured loans and
those over 90 days past due, decreased to $1,986,000 at December 31, 1995,
compared to $2,491,000 at June 30, 1995.  Non-performing loans at December 31,
1995 represented 1.24 percent of total loans and 72.61 percent of the Reserve
for Loan Losses.  The following table shows the composition of non-performing
loans at both period ends.

      $200,000, four restructured agricultural loans totaling $658,000,
      and one restructured commercial loan in the amount of $50,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

Non-interest income increased 19.45 percent or $121,000 to $743,000 for the
six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to $622,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1994.  Other income consists of gains on the sale of
mortgage loans, commissions on credit life insurance sales, and safe deposit
box rent.

Non-interest expense decreased 3.81 percent or $137,000 and totaled $3,457,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to $3,594,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1994.  Salaries and employee benefits increased 6.33
percent or $114,000, to $1,916,000.  Occupancy expense increased $32,000 or
12.40 percent and totaled $290,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995. 
One-time real estate and property tax refunds were received in the quarter
ended September 30, 1994 which explains why the total expenses were lower
during that time period.  Other operating expenses decreased by 24.02 percent
or $306,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to December
31, 1994.  This decrease is attributable to lower expenses resulting from the
conversion to an in-house computer system and a reduction in FDIC expense. 
Tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 1995 was $666,000, compared
to $576,000 for the prior year, an increase of $90,000 or 15.63 percent, due
to increased levels of earnings before tax.

LIQUIDITY:

Bancorp's liquidity is a measurement of its ability to raise cash when needed
without an adverse impact on profits.  Primary sources of asset liquidity are
securities maturing or having a call feature within one year, time deposits in
other banks, federal funds sold, term funds sold, and banker's acceptances. 
All of these sources combined totaled $17,235,000 at December 31, 1995.  In
addition, the Bancorp has $34,000 in student loans which are committed to be
sold when their deferment period ends and $130,000 in mortgage loans being
held for sale into the secondary market.  The factors which have and will
continue to affect the general liquidity of the Bancorp are increasing loan
demand and the continued offering of a deposit instrument based primarily on
money market rates.  All of these factors have contributed to the liquidity
ratio (net cash, short term investments and other marketable assets to
volatile liabilities) of 21.89 percent on December 31, 1995.  At December 31,
1995 Bancorp had unfunded loan commitments of $34,069,000, primarily available
balance on customer lines of credit, and outstanding letters of credit of
$495,000.  However, management expects many of these will expire without being
used.  In addition, the Bancorp intends to continue the sale of newly
originated fixed rate residential mortgages into the secondary market for the
foreseeable future.

LIQUIDITY: (cont.)

The asset/liability committee continues to review the matching of loan demand
with deposits, and maturities of assets and liabilities to help ensure the
level of liquidity remains satisfactory.  The asset/liability committee has
managed the rate sensitive assets and liabilities during the first six months
of fiscal 1996, and at December 31, 1995, the Bancorp's one year gap position
was slightly negative.

CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Bank and Bancorp are subject to regulations established by their
respective regulators, which require the maintenance of established levels of
capital and, as a result, limit the amount of dividends which may be paid by
the companies.  The ability of Bancorp to pay dividends depends primarily upon
the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Bancorp.  The Bank is
regulated by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC,
while the Bancorp is subject to the regulations issued by the Federal Reserve
Board.  These regulations establish minimum levels of Tier I (as defined)
capital to total assets (the leverage ratio) and minimum levels of Tier I and
Total Capital (as defined) to risk-based assets.  Also, FDIC regulations
establish various levels of capital compliance.  Under these regulations, a
"well capitalized" financial institution must maintain a leverage ratio of at
least 5 percent, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6 percent and a
total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10 percent.  Institutions which do
not meet these guidelines are subject to higher deposit insurance assessments
and, in certain cases, operational restrictions.  Presented below are the
Bancorp's actual capital ratios as of December 31, 1995: 


                     Tier I Capital                  $23,506,000
                     Total Capital                   $25,861,000
                     Risk Weighted Assets           $188,018,000
                     Leverage Ratio                        10.17%
                     Risk-based Capital; Tier I            12.50%
                     Total Risk-based Capital              13.75%



On October 9, 1995, the Bancorp declared a $.40 per share quarterly dividend,
totaling $231,000, payable November 15, 1995 to shareholders of record as of
October 9, 1995.  In addition, on January 8, 1996 the Bancorp declared a $.40
per share quarterly dividend totaling $231,000, payable February 15, 1996 to
shareholders of record as of January 8, 1996.  The book value of common stock
on December 31, 1995 was $40.94 per share, based on 577,058 shares
outstanding.
