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 March 31, 1996 management
has identified $1,152,000 of loans as impaired and allocated $125,000 of
the Bank's $2.6 million reserve for loans losses for those loans.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              THE FARMERS BANCORP

                                 March 31, 1996

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Total assets increased 1.52 percent from June 30, 1995 to March 31, 1996 
and totaled $229,460,000 at period end.  During the nine months ended
March 31, 1996  $13,011,000 was used to purchase investments.  However,
during the same period, $13,642,000 of investments matured, were repaid
or were called prior to their maturity.  As a result, total investments
decreased $843,000 or 2.06 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:

   Securities           12,047         161               (27)     12,181
 

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 $7,415,000 at March 31, 1996, and include insurance
policies with a current cash surrender value of $4,285,000 that were
purchased in conjunction with the formation of deferred compensation and
death benefit programs.

Other borrowings increased to $5,633,000 and consist primarily of
Federal Home Loan Bank advances which were $5,070,000 at March 31, 1996. 
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 $563,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The Bancorp reported net income, for the first nine months of the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1996 of $1,741,000, as compared to $1,828,000 for
the prior year.  Earnings per share were $3.02 and  $3.17, respectively,
based on an average of 577,058 shares outstanding for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995.  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 $13,493,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 1996, compared to $12,358,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1995, an increase of 9.18 percent.   Loans, including those held for
sale, increased $10,363,000, or 6.77 percent, from March 31, 1995 to
March 31, 1996.  Interest and fees on loans totaled $10,957,000 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $9,810,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1995, an increase of $1,147,000, or 11.69
percent.  Investments decreased $5,284,000, or 11.62 percent, from March
31, 1995 to March 31, 1996, and interest income on investments decreased
by $383,000 as a result of decreased volume and yield on investments. 
Total interest expense was $6,205,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 1996, compared to $5,219,000 for the same period in 1995, an
increase of $986,000, or 18.89 percent.  Total interest bearing deposits
and repurchase agreements increased $10,358,000, or 6.25 percent from
March 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996.  Interest bearing transaction account
balances increased $7,207,000 from March 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996, and
time deposits outstanding increased $10,092,000 for the same period. 
Repurchase agreements decreased approximately $6,941,000 or 43.91
percent, from March 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996, as not as many corporate
customers utilized the Bank's Sweep Agreement.  

Average earning assets increased to $213,865,000 during the nine months
ended March 31, 1996.  This represents an approximate increase of 5.13
percent compared to $203,422,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1995.  The tax-equivalent yield on average earning assets was 8.52
percent for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 8.21
percent for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  Total interest
expense to average interest bearing liabilities was 4.53 percent for the
nine months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 4.00 percent for the nine
months ended March 31, 1995.  This results in a tax-equivalent net
interest margin (net tax-equivalent interest income divided by average
earning assets) of 4.66 percent and 4.68 percent for the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase in average
earning assets offset the decline in margin, and resulted in net
interest income increasing by $149,000, or 2.09 percent.  The decrease
in interest margin is a trend that management anticipates will slowly
continue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

The provision for loan losses increased $191,000 or 113.02 percent to
$360,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $169,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  Net chargeoffs (recoveries)
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 totaled $76,000.  Net
chargeoffs (recoveries) by loan type aggregated $(23,000) for commercial
and agricultural loans, $78,000 for consumer loans, $0 for real estate
loans, and $21,000 for credit card loans.  On March 31, 1996, the
allowance for loan losses totaled $2,632,000 or 1.61 percent of loans,
compared to $2,348,000 or 1.50 percent of loans on June 30, 1995, and
$2,269,000 or 1.49 percent of loans at March 31, 1995.  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 $1,152,000
of loans as impaired at March 31, 1996 and allocated $125,000 of the
allowance for loan losses to such loans, as compared to $1,234,000 and
$225,000 respectively as of July 1, 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 March 31, 1996 and March 31,
1995.

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 $2,441,000 at March
31, 1996, compared to $2,491,000 at June 30, 1995.  Non-performing loans
at March 31, 1996 represented 1.49 percent of total loans and 92.74
percent of the Reserve for Loan Losses.  The following table shows the
composition of non-performing loans at both period ends.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

Non-interest income increased 6.06 percent or $66,000 to $1,156,000 for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $1,090,000 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1995.  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 increased 2.24 percent or $119,000 and totaled
$5,438,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, compared to
$5,319,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.  Salaries and
employee benefits increased 8.23 percent or $220,000, to $2,894,000. 
Occupancy expense increased $34,000 or 8.31 percent and totaled $443,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.  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 8.72 percent or $160,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to March 31, 1995. 
This decrease is attributable to lower expenses resulting from the
conversion to an in-house computer system and a reduction in FDIC
expense.  Other operating expenses increased $256,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995. 
The Bank built a new facility in Sheridan, Indiana and razed the old
facility.  The remaining book value of the old facility was
approximately $175,000 and was expensed in March 1996.  Tax expense for
the nine months ended March 31, 1996 was $905,000, compared to $913,000
for the prior year, a decrease of $8,000 or .88 percent.

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
$17,986,000 at March 31, 1996.  In addition, the Bancorp has $31,000 in
student loans which are committed to be sold when their deferment period
ends and $441,000 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 22.07 percent on March 31, 1996.  At March 31,
1996 Bancorp had unfunded loan commitments of $38,773,000, primarily
available balance on customer lines of credit, and outstanding letters
of credit of $480,000.  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 nine months of fiscal 1996, and at March 31, 1996, 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 the 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 March 31, 1996: 


                     Tier I Capital                  $23,754,000
                     Total Capital                   $25,958,000
                     Risk Weighted Assets           $175,912,000
                     Leverage Ratio                        10.35%
                     Risk-based Capital; Tier I            13.50%
                     Total Risk-based Capital              14.76%



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.  Also, on April 8, 1996, the Bancorp declared a $.42 per share
quarterly dividend totaling $242,000, payable May 15, 1996 to
shareholders of record as of April 8, 1996.  The book value of common
stock on March 31, 1996 was $41.24 per share, based on 577,058 shares
outstanding.
