DESCRIPTION OF THE FARMERS BANCORP, FRANKFORT, INDIANA

The Farmers Bancorp, Frankfort, Indiana ("Bancorp"), an Indiana
Corporation, was incorporated on May 26, 1983 for the purpose of
acquiring all the outstanding common stock of The Farmers Bank,
Frankfort, Indiana ("Bank").  All of the directors and executive
officers of the Bancorp are also directors or executive officers of the
Bank.  On October 20, 1983, the Bancorp was approved by the FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD to become a bank holding company.  The Bancorp is not
aware of any persons or group which qualify as a parent, that is, have
control over its operations.

There have been no material changes or developments in the business done
or intended to be done by the Bancorp or by the Bank during this year.

BUSINESS

The Bancorp and the Bank are engaged in the business of banking.  The
principal source of income for the Bancorp is earnings generated by the
Bank.  The principal business activity of the Bancorp is to support the
Bank.  The Bancorp supports regulatory compliance, legal issues, and
strategic planning for future expansion.  See the Business Section of
the Bank on page 5 for a detailed description of the Bank's activities.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

As a bank holding company, the Bancorp is regulated and supervised by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal
Reserve").  It is required to file reports with the Federal Reserve and
such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require pursuant
to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Holding
Company Act").  The Federal Reserve may also make examinations of the
Bancorp and its subsidiary and subsidiaries which may be acquired in the
future.  The Federal Reserve has the authority to issue cease-and-desist
orders against bank holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries if
the Federal Reserve determines that their actions represent an unsafe
and unsound practice or a violation of law.

The acquisition of banking subsidiaries by bank holding companies is
subject to the jurisdiction, and requires the prior approval, of the
Federal Reserve and, for institutions chartered in Indiana, the Indiana
Department of Financial Institutions (the "Department").  Effective July
1, 1992 Indiana law permitted a bank holding company resident in the
State of Indiana to acquire banking subsidiaries in any state or to be
acquired by bank holding companies in any state, subject to certain
limitations.  

The non-bank activities of bank holding companies are also subject to
the supervision of the Federal Reserve.  Under the Holding Company Act,
a bank holding company is, with limited exceptions, prohibited from
acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares
of a corporation which is not a bank or engaging in any activity other
than managing or controlling banks.

                                                                         
                                                           Page 3 of 81
Part I
Item 1 BUSINESS (cont.)

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION (cont.)

A bank holding company, however, may engage in, or own shares of a
corporation that engages solely in, activities which the Federal Reserve
has determined to be so closely related to banking, or managing or
controlling banks, as to be a proper incident thereto.  If a bank
holding company is of the opinion that other activities in the
circumstances surrounding a particular case are closely related to
banking, or managing or controlling banks, the bank holding company may
apply to the Federal Reserve for approval to engage in the activity or
acquire an interest in a corporation that engages in the activity.  

A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are also prohibited from
engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the extension
of credit or the provision of any property or service.  With certain
exceptions, neither a bank holding company nor a bank, nor a subsidiary
or affiliate of either, may extend credit, lease or sell property or
furnish any services or fix or vary the consideration for the foregoing
on the condition that (i) the customer must obtain or provide some
additional credit, property or services from, or to, any of them, or
(ii) the customer may not obtain some credit, property or services from
a competitor, except to the extent reasonable conditions are imposed to
assure the soundness of credit extended.

DESCRIPTION OF BANK

The Bank, was chartered June 17, 1876 under the laws of the State of
Indiana.  The main office of the Bank is in Frankfort, Indiana.  The
Bank has two branch offices in Frankfort, Indiana, one in Kirklin,
Indiana, one in Michigantown, Indiana, one in Mulberry, Indiana, and one
in Sheridan, Indiana.  The Bank has one remote ATM unmanned branch in
Frankfort, Indiana.  A free standing ATM is located in the Wal-Mart
store located east of Frankfort.

Part I
Item 1 BUSINESS (cont.)


BUSINESS

The Bank conducts a general banking business embracing all the usual
functions of a commercial bank.  The Bank also operates a Trust
Department serving in a fiduciary capacity with trusts, estates and
guardianships.

The Bank makes and services both secured and unsecured loans to
individuals, firms and corporations.  The Bank's installment loan
department makes both direct and indirect loans.  The Bank makes a
variety of residential, industrial, commercial and agricultural loans
secured by real estate.

The Bank is the largest and oldest locally owned and headquartered
commercial bank in Clinton County.  The Bank operates under a
conservative management philosophy and is dedicated to providing
personal service coupled with competitive products and pricing. 
Management believes that local ownership allows the Bank to distinguish
itself from competitors based on it's established reputation, and local
decision making authority.  The Bank is seeking to capitalize on this
advantage by continuing an aggressive growth strategy throughout Clinton
County and central Indiana.  The Bank focuses on developing strong,
primary banking relationships with businesses and individuals in its
market area.  The Bank's mission includes being a corporate leader in
community service and supporting projects and organizations that enhance
the quality of life through the utilization of the Bank's financial and
human resources.  The Bank's loan portfolio is diversified, locally
oriented and does not include any foreign loans.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

The Bank, a subsidiary of the Bancorp, is a state bank and is
supervised, regulated and examined by the Department.  The Bank, which
is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, is also supervised and
regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").  The
deposits of the Bank are insured by the FDIC.  Each regulator has the
authority to issue cease-and-desist orders if it determines that
activities of a bank regularly represent an unsafe and unsound banking
practice or violation of law.

Branching by banks in Indiana, either through establishment de novo or
acquisition, is subject to the jurisdiction, and requires the prior
approval, of the bank's primary federal regulatory authority, as well as
the Department if the branching bank is a state bank.  Under current
Indiana law, as amended in 1991 by the Indiana General Assembly, banks
may establish branches anywhere within the State of Indiana.

Subsidiaries of bank holding companies are also subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve on the extension of credit
to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, on investment in
the stock or other securities of the bank holding company or any of its
subsidiaries, and in taking such stock or securities as collateral for
loans.

Part I
Item 1 BUSINESS (cont.)

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION (cont.)

The Bancorp and the Bank are subject to regulations that require the
maintenance of a leverage ratio (tier one capital to adjusted total
assets), a tier one risk-based capital (tier one capital to risk
adjusted assets), and a total risk-based capital ratio (total capital to
risk adjusted assets).  During 1991, Congress passed the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA).  In addition to
addressing the insurance fund's financial needs, FDICIA required the
FDIC to promulgate regulations outlining specific regulatory actions
that would occur when the capital level of a financial institution
deteriorated beyond a specified level.  An "adequately capitalized"
financial institution is defined as one which has a leverage ratio of at
least 4 percent, a tier one risk-based capital ratio of at least 4
percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8 percent. 
The level of deposit insurance assessments are also tied to the
definitions prescribed by these regulations.

Compliance with these regulations limits the amount of dividends that
may be paid by the companies.  Refer to Note 13 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements and management's discussion of Capital Resources
(pages 63-64 and pages 35-36) for more information about these
requirements and compliance with them at June 30, 1997.

The results of operations of the Bank are affected by the credit
policies of monetary authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve
System.  The instruments of monetary policy employed by the Federal
Reserve System include open market operations in United States
Government securities, changes in the discount rate charged for member
bank borrowing and changes in reserve requirements assessed on member
bank deposits.  Federal Reserve System monetary policies have had
significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the
past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.  In view of
the changing condition in the national economy and in the money markets,
as well as the effect of actions by monetary fiscal authorities,
including the Federal Reserve, no prediction can be made as to possible
future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the
business and earnings of the Bank.

PART I
ITEM 1  BUSINESS (cont.)

COMPETITION

The banking business is highly competitive.  The Bank competes directly
with one other bank located in Clinton County, Indiana, and with banks
elsewhere.  The main office and branch offices are located in a
business/agricultural area of Clinton County and northwest Hamilton
County.  The Bank also competes with various savings banks, credit
unions, finance companies and other non-bank financial institutions.

The trends of deregulation, increased competition among financial
institutions, and increased competition with non-financial institutions
seem likely to continue.




Part I
Item 2  PROPERTIES

The Bancorp owns no property.  Its business requires minimal office
space and uses the Bank's facilities.  

The Bank's main office is located at 9 East Clinton Street, Frankfort,
Indiana.  The main office is owned by the Bank.  The branches at
Kirklin, Indiana, Michigantown, Indiana, and Mulberry, Indiana and one
remote ATM branch in Frankfort, Indiana are also owned by the Bank.  Two
branch facilities in Frankfort, Indiana, and the branch at Sheridan,
Indiana, are owned by the Bank but are located on leased property.  A
free standing ATM is located on leased property in the Wal-Mart store on
the east edge of Frankfort.

PART I
ITEM 3  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Bancorp is not a party to any pending legal proceedings before any
court, regulatory or administrative agency or other tribunal.  Further,
the Bancorp is not aware of any litigation which is threatened against
it in any court, regulatory or administrative agency or other tribunal.

As part of its ordinary course of business, the Bank is a party to
several lawsuits involving a variety of claims and in the collection of
delinquent accounts.  All such litigation is incidental to the Bank's
business.  Bank management believes that no litigation is threatened or
pending against the Bank in which the Bank faces potential loss or
exposure which would have a material effect upon the financial condition
of the Bank.  The Bancorp and the Bank are not involved in any
administrative or judicial proceedings arising under any Federal, State
or Local provisions which have been enacted or adopted to regulate the
discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment.

ITEM 5  MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
        AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

MARKET

Shares of the common stock of the Bancorp are not traded on any
established public trading market, but are purchased and sold privately
by individual security holders primarily in the Clinton and surrounding
county areas.  While there have been some stock sales, privately traded
at prices determined by individual buyer and seller, McDonald & Co.
Securities, Inc. has been making a market for this stock.  During the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1997, there were various transfers of the
common stock representing sales or exchanges, gifts, transfers to trust
agreements, surviving joint tenants, transfers to decedents' estates and
transfers resulting from the distribution of decedents' estates and
trusts to heirs and beneficiaries.  A total of 173,288 shares were
transferred under the foregoing conditions during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1997.

DIVIDENDS

The ability of the Bancorp to continue to pay dividends will depend on
its earnings, financial condition and other factors as may be deemed
appropriate in the determination of the Bancorp's dividend policy.
Dividends paid by the Bancorp depend primarily on dividends paid by the
Bank to Bancorp.

The dividends which the Bancorp may pay to its shareholders, and which
the Bank may pay to the Bancorp are restricted by Indiana law and
regulations of the Department, the FDIC, and the Federal Reserve Board.
See Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And
Results Of Operations - Capital Resources, pages 35 and 36.  On June 30,
1997, there were 397 holders of record of Bancorp's common stock.

Item 7  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion and analysis is intended to address the
significant factors affecting the Bancorp's financial condition and
results of operations.  It is designed to provide a more comprehensive
review of the operating results and financial position than could be
obtained from the analysis of the consolidated financial statements
alone.  It should, however, be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes and the Selected Financial Data
included elsewhere herein.  All per share amounts have been restated to
give retroactive effect to the 2-for-1 stock split declared October 14,
1996.

OVERVIEW

Total assets of Bancorp increased $14,700,000, or 6.20 percent, from
June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997, and totaled $251,744,000 at June 30,
1997.  Total loans, including loans held for sale, increased $26,776,000
or 15.38 percent, from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997, and totaled
$200,824,000 as of June 30, 1997.  Securities decreased $10,562,000 or
25.00 percent, from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997, and totaled
$31,702,000 as of June 30, 1997.  The increase in loans was funded by
the decrease in securities, and an increase in deposits and short-term
borrowings which, combined, increased $10,352,000, or 5.07 percent over
the prior year end.  Funding was also provided by a net $1.7 million
increase in FHLB advances which totaled $7,477,000 as of June 30, 1997. 
These advances require periodic principal payments and are generally
drawn to fund specific commercial loans originated by The Bank.  

Bancorp reported net income of $3,459,000 in 1997, an increase of
$1,043,000, or 43.17 percent from $2,416,000 earned in 1996.  Earnings
per share were $3.00 in 1997, up from $2.09 per share in 1996.  The
increase resulted primarily from increased net interest and other
income.  Net interest income increased by $1,533,000 or 15.55 percent
over the previous year.  Other income increased $353,000 or 23.76
percent over the previous year.  Offsetting these revenue increases was
the increase in income taxes from the previous year of $670,000 or 52.51
percent.  This increase was due primarily to a 46.39 percent increase in
income before taxes and by the relative decrease in tax free investments
held by the Bank.

1996 net income was essentially the same as 1995 net income.  Increases
in the provision for loan losses, expenses related to the demolition of
a branch and higher compensation expenses offset increased net interest
income.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income is the principal component of net income for the
Bancorp.  Net interest income is determined by the relative size and
characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and by the difference, or spread, between the yields earned
on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing
liabilities.  During the year ended June 30, 1996 there was a general
decline in interest rates.  During the years ending June 30, 1995 and
June 30, 1997 there was a gradual increase in rates.  

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information
regarding the average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities, the dollar amount of interest income and interest
expense and the resulting yields on average interest-earning assets and
rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.  Average balances
are also provided for non-interest-earning assets and non-interest-
bearing liabilities and shareholders' equity.  Average balances are
determined from average daily balances.

Net Interest Income (cont.)

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased to $11,640,000
for the year ended June 30, 1997 compared to $10,164,000 for 1996 and
$9,739,000 for 1995.  Net interest margin (net interest income divided
by average earning assets), on a tax equivalent basis, increased to 5.13
percent for 1997 compared to 4.74 percent for 1996 and 4.78 percent for
1995.  1997's yield on average earning assets increased 36 basis points
as compared to 1996.  1997's rate on average interest bearing
liabilities remained the same as 1996's rate.  1996's yield on average
earning assets increased 25 basis points as compared to 1995.  Likewise,
1996's rate on average interest bearing liabilities increased 36 basis
points as compared to 1995.  The increase in net interest margin from
1996 to 1997 primarily resulted from an increase of 22 basis points in
the yield on the loan portfolio.  Average earning assets increased $12.5
million (5.81 percent) from 1996's balance of $214.6 million.  A change
in the mix of earning assets occurred as loan demand continued to be
very strong.  Average total loans increased $26,069,000, or 16.13
percent, while average securities decreased by $3,109,000 or 7.71
percent.  By June 30, 1997 total loans, excluding loans held for sale,
were $200,824,000 compared to $173,556,000 at June 30, 1996.
 
Total deposits and short-term borrowings increased $10,352,000 during
1997.  This increase was due to increases in time deposits, demand
deposits and savings accounts which increased by $17,384,000, or 11.41
percent from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997 while money market
investment accounts, NOW accounts and short-term borrowings, combined,
declined by $7,032,000, or 13.57 percent during the same period.  

The following tables illustrate the changes in asset and liability mix
that have taken place over the last three years, (ratios at year end).

Item 7  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

Provision for Loan Losses:

The provision for loan losses (a direct charge to operating expenses)
provides a reserve (the allowance for loan losses) to which loan losses
are charged as those losses become evident.  The provision is determined
in conjunction with management's review and evaluation of current
economic conditions, changes in the character and size of the loan
portfolio, estimated charge-offs and other pertinent information derived
from a quarterly review of the loan portfolio.

In order to analyze the allowance for loan losses, management utilizes a
quarterly report (watch list) containing loans with a more than normal
degree of risk.  This report is the by-product of an ongoing loan review
process, the purpose of which is to determine the level of credit risk
within the portfolio and to ensure proper adherence to underwriting and
documentation standards.  Utilizing this report, a "specific allocation"
of the reserve is made for those loans which are considered to represent
significant exposure to risk.  In addition, estimates are made for the
potential losses within each category of the loan portfolio, not
specifically reviewed, based on a weighted five year historical loan
loss experience, non-performing loan history, and other factors and
trends. 

The provision for loan losses in 1997 totaled $570,000 as compared to
$480,000 for 1996 and $218,000 for 1995.  The increase in provision for
the year ended June 30, 1997 was due to the Bank's loan growth and
management's desire to maintain the reserve at an appropriate level. 
Asset quality in general continues to improve compared to prior years. 
Management continues to closely monitor the financial condition of the
Bank's agricultural borrowers and to forecast expected levels of crop
yields and prices.  Early predictions indicate that due to a dry summer
in Clinton County the corn crop yields will be significantly lower than
average, while the bean crop has the potential to reach average yields. 
For the year ended June 30, 1997 the Bank recorded a net recovery of
$10,000 on commercial and agricultural loans, compared to a net recovery
of $35,000 and a net charge-off of $299,000 for the years ended June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1995 respectively.  A large portion ($280,000) of
1995's charge-offs were subsequently recovered in August 1995. 
Management constantly monitors the loan portfolio for any downward
trends or weaknesses, and will continue to do so.

Approximately 22.10 percent of the Bancorp's total loan portfolio is
oriented in agricultural or agri-business relationships.  $14,000 of the
$72,000 in commercial loan charge-offs for 1997 were agriculture
related, compared to $224,000 of the $317,000 for fiscal 1996.  $74,000
of the $82,000 in commercial loan recoveries for 1997 were agriculture
related.  The installment loan portfolio had gross charge-offs of
$244,000 for 1997, compared to $230,000 in 1996 and $173,000 in 1995. 
Net charge offs on installment loans were $132,000 in 1997, up from
$122,000 in 1996 and $49,000 in 1995.

Income that would have been earned during 1997, had nonaccrual and
restructured loans been accruing at their contractual rates, was
$69,000.  Income that was recorded totaled $37,000.  Income foregone as
a result of nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings aggregated
approximately $111,000 and $118,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Nonperforming loans totaled $2,098,000 at June 30, 1997 compared to
$2,373,000 at June 30, 1996 and represent 1.04 percent of total loans at
June 30, 1997, down from 1.36 percent and 1.59 percent at June 30, 1996
and 1995, respectively.  The allowance for loan losses, as a percent of
nonperforming loans, was 154.05 percent at year-end 1997, compared to
115.51 percent for 1996 and 94.26 percent for 1995.

Risk Elements (cont.)

Nonperforming loans are comprised of three major sub-divisions -
nonaccrual loans, loans  delinquent over 90 days and still accruing, and
troubled debt restructurings.  In the nonaccrual loan category are those
loans where significant doubt exists as to the collectibility of all
principal or accrued interest.  The Bank follows the definition of
nonaccrual loans established by the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council.  The following are the Bank's procedures for
nonaccrual loans.  When the status of a loan fits the criteria of
nonaccrual status, including delinquency of principal and interest
payment of 90 days or more, it is submitted to the Officers Loan
Committee for final review before placement on nonaccrual status.  Loans
remain on nonaccrual status until a borrower's position improves as to
ability to repay or until a determination is made for eventual charge-
off.  Regular monthly reviews of the nonaccrual loans are made by the
Directors Loan Committee and reported to the Board of Directors. 
Following the guidelines Bancorp adopted for nonaccrual loans, twenty-
seven individual borrowers with loan balances of $932,000 were in
nonaccrual status at June 30, 1997.  Negotiations continue with the
respective customers to resolve their immediate financial difficulties. 
It is anticipated that losses from this category will not exceed
$300,000.  

Loans past due over 90 days and still accruing have increased $96,000,
or 19.63 percent, to $585,000 at June 30, 1997 from the 1996 total of
$489,000.  This amount is comprised of the following; $153,000 in two
commercial borrowers; $85,000 in twelve consumer loans; $12,000 in eight
credit card related loans; $121,000 in two mortgage construction loans
and $214,000 in four residential mortgage loans.

Management continues to work to resolve the Bank's problem loan
situations and believes that the Bank's loan review and reserve analysis
processes have successfully identified existing problem loans and
intends to continue to work with these customers to resolve, either
through work-out, foreclosure and/or charge off, those situations.

Item 7  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

Risk Elements (cont.)

Troubled debt restructurings are those loans for which the contractual
interest has been reduced, or other concessions granted because of a
deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower, resulting in
the inability of the borrower to meet the original contractual terms of
the loans.  Interest on such loans is included in income only to the
extent of the reduced rate.  Each borrower may be having varying degrees
of financial difficulty.  On a case-by-case basis negotiations are held
to determine how to achieve the best results for both Bancorp and the
customer without forcing the borrower into liquidation.  Management will
reach an agreement as to principal and interest concessions, collateral
available, and term of repayment.  At June 30, 1995, restructured loans
totaled $708,000.  They consisted of four agricultural borrowers and one
commercial borrower.  All loans were current as of June 30, 1995.  At
June 30, 1996 restructured loans totaled $748,000, consisting of four
agricultural borrowers and two commercial borrowers.  All six loans were
current as of June 30, 1996.  At June 30, 1997, restructured loans
totaled $581,000, consisting of five borrowers.  Three of these
borrowers were agriculture-related and two were commercial borrowers. 
All were current as of June 30, 1997.  Management does not expect this
category to constitute an automatic loss risk, but rather a category to
prevent or minimize future loan losses.

Effective July 1, 1995, Bancorp adopted FAS 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", as amended by FAS 118.  Loans are
identified as impaired when management concludes that it is probable
that the customer will not comply with the contractual terms of the loan
agreement.  Loans are evaluated for impairment during management's
quarterly analysis of the reserve for loan losses.  Generally, all
commercial and agricultural loans that have been selected for evaluation
in conjunction with the reserve analysis are evaluated for impaired
status.  Generally, no consumer or 1-4 family residential real estate
loans would be evaluated.  If a loan is deemed to be impaired,
management will evaluate the need for an impairment reserve (simply an
allocation of a portion of the allowance for loan losses) on that
credit.  Generally, the fair value of collateral is used to evaluate
impairment.  At June 30, 1997, management has determined that four
commercial/agricultural loans totaling $747,000, all of which are on
non-accrual status, are impaired and has allocated $125,000 of the
allowance for loan losses to those loans.  Two commercial loans past due
more than 90 days in the amount of $153,000 and one restructured
commercial loan in the amount of $187,000 have also been deemed to be
impaired.  One mortgage loan totaling $213,000, secured by several
rental properties, is also included in the impaired loan total of
$1,300,000 at June 30, 1997.  No impairment reserves were deemed needed
for the delinquent or restructured loans.

Risk Elements (cont.)

In addition to these loans outlined previously, at June 30, 1997, the
Bancorp has identified other loans which management has concerns
relative to the ability of the borrowers to comply with loan repayment
terms.  These loans, which total $3,139,000, down from $7,075,000 at
June 30, 1996, are classified as "watch" loans and receive ongoing
management attention in excess of that provided to the remaining
portfolio.  The loans placed in "watch" status are as follows:  four (4)
borrowers with residential mortgage loans totaling $243,000; eleven (11)
agricultural real estate loan borrowers totaling $1,083,000; three (3)
commercial real estate loans totaling $388,000; twelve (12) agricultural
operating and term loan borrowers totaling $1,033,000; five (5)
commercial operating and term loan borrowers totaling $376,000; and one
(1) personal loan borrower totaling $16,000.  It is noted, however, that
Bank policy states that in the event any single note of a borrower is
placed on the "watch list", all notes of the borrower are placed on said
list; regardless of the payment history or collateral valuation of
individual notes. 

Loan Loss Charge-off Procedures:

The Bank's Officers' Loan Committee meets weekly to discuss all
significantly delinquent loans (regardless of size) and any other known
loan problems that might affect customers.  Specific review is assigned
to an account officer to determine the reason for delinquency and the
chances of rehabilitation and/or improvement for the particular credit. 
Once the account officer has made his review, he makes recommendations
as to the collectibility of the loan.  If the loan is considered a loss,
it is approved for charge-off by the Officers' Loan Committee.

The Loan Review Committee meets monthly to evaluate the quality of the
Bank's loan portfolio and administration of its lending activities.  It 
also shares the responsibility for recommending transfer of credits to a
loss category in its function of summarizing "watch loans" and preparing
supporting information for the quarterly review of the adequacy of the
reserve for loan losses.  There are many elements of consideration that
comprise the criteria for a "watch list."  Each of the elements serve as
a management tool to act as a monitor for potential problems.  It does
not indicate a loss as being imminent.

All approved charge-offs are submitted to the Directors' Loan Committee
which is made up of four outside Directors and Senior Management.  They
review the findings of the Officers' Loan Committee and Loan Review
Committee and tentatively approve the charge-off of the portion of the
loan that is determined to be uncollectible.

Once the Directors' Loan Committee approves a loan for charge-off, it is
then submitted to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis for their
review and approval or rejection of the recommendation.  In addition to
these internal procedures, the Bank charges off loans as a result of
regulatory examinations.

Other operating income increased during the year ended June 30, 1997, 
compared to 1996.  Mortgage banking revenue increased 26.36 percent, to
$139,000.  The Bank continued to sell fixed rate first mortgage loans in
the secondary market.  The Bank realized gains of $52,000 during 1997,
as compared to $36,000 in 1996 and $20,000 in 1995.  Servicing income
earned on sold loans increased to $87,000 for the year ended June 30,
1997, compared to $74,000 in 1996.  At June 30, 1997, Bancorp was
servicing $37,566,000 of loans for other investors compared to
$29,309,000 at June 30, 1996.  Other income increased by 57.71 percent,
or $217,000, to $593,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.  The
most significant factor causing this increase was a increase of $189,000
in the amount of cash surrender value income recognized on life
insurance policies owned by the Bank.

Item 7  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

Other Operating Expenses (cont.)

Other operating expenses increased 1.16 percent or $83,000 to total
$7,255,000 for 1997 compared to $7,172,000 in 1996.  Salaries and
employee benefits, the largest component of other operating expenses,
increased only $44,000, or 1.15 percent for 1997.  Data processing
expenses are primarily those paid to outside vendors and increased
$57,000 from fiscal 1996 to 1997 but decreased $113,000 from fiscal 1995
to 1996, due to converting to an in-house system.  The 1997 increase was 
due to a new teller platformation system, increased expenses related to
credit card processing, and increased ATM processing charges. 

The need to control noninterest expense has become a major focus for
management because of the increased emphasis on regulatory compliance
and its related cost.  Management has very limited control over FDIC
assessment expense, insurance cost, postage expense and taxes. 
Management has attempted to control labor costs by restricting new
hires.  Other expenses in 1996 include a nonrecurring charge of $180,000
related to the write off of the undepreciated value of a branch building
that was demolished so it could be expanded.                          

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense for 1997 increased to $1,946,000 compared to
$1,276,000 for 1996 and $1,189,000 for 1995.  Increased tax expense
resulted primarily from higher levels of income before tax and was also
due to the decline in tax exempt income during the period. 

Net deferred tax assets at June 30, 1997 total $662,000.  The Bancorp's
net deferred tax asset results primarily from a deferred tax asset
related to book provisions for loan losses in excess of the amount
deductible for tax purposes and deferred compensation accruals offset by
a deferred tax liability related to tax depreciation in excess of the
amount deducted for financial reporting purposes.  Based on the
Bancorp's historical levels of taxable income and the relatively small
size of the net deferred tax asset, management does not believe a
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed at June 30, 1997.

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEET

Earning Assets:

Bancorp's average earning assets were 93.27 percent of average total
assets for 1997, which is slightly higher than this same ratio for 1996
of 93.24 percent and 1995 of 93.16 percent.  A factor that influences
(lowers) the earning asset ratio is the purchase of life insurance, in
conjunction with the formation of deferred compensation and death
benefit programs.  At June 30, 1997, the cash surrender value of this
insurance totaled $4,774,000 as compared to $4,510,000 at June 30, 1996. 
Although this asset does not "earn" interest, it increases in value over
time and that increase in value is reflected as a component of other
income.  If this asset was considered "earning" for the purpose of the
above computation, the earning asset ratio for 1997 and 1996 would be
approximately 95.16 and 95.11 percent, respectively.

Securities (cont.)

The Bancorp's securities portfolio acts as a source of liquidity and
additional earnings.  In order to accomplish the objective of liquidity,
the weighted average maturity of the portfolio is kept relatively short. 
The Bancorp classifies its securities as available-for-sale securities
or held-to-maturity securities.  At June 30, 1997, the fair value of
available-for-sale securities was less than their amortized cost by
$18,000.  Held-to-maturity securities are those which the Bancorp has
the intent and ability to hold until maturity.  These are reported at
amortized cost.  Available-for-sale securities are those which
management may decide to sell, if needed, for liquidity, asset-liability 
management, or other reasons.  Available-for-sale securities are
reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included as a
separate component of shareholders' equity, net of tax.  No securities
were sold during 1995, 1996 or 1997.  The Bancorp's goal of increasing
loan volume resulted in the contraction of the securities portfolio in
1997.  As securities matured or were called, the Bancorp utilized these
funds to fund the loan portfolio.  Please refer to Note 2, pages 52-54
of the financial statements for additional information about the
composition of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities
portfolios.  At June 30, 1997 the Bancorp did not have a concentration
of securities greater than 10 percent of its total equity in any one
entity, exclusive of U.S. Government Agency obligations.  Mortgage-
backed securities issued by U. S. Government Agencies do represent 25.52
percent of the total portfolio and 3.21 percent of total assets.  The
level yield method of accounting is used to amortize premiums and
accrete discounts on mortgage-backed securities.

Commercial loans have maintained a growth pattern since 1992. 
Outstandings averaged $95,750,000 in 1997, $77,329,000 in 1996 and
$75,698,000 in 1995.  While the Bank's commitment to agricultural-
related financing remains, outstanding agricultural-operating lines have
been on a gradual decline with balances at $23,050,000 for 1997, up
slightly from 1996's total of $22,570,000; $25,831,000 for 1995 and
$27,756,000 for 1994.  New non-farm commercial credits have continued to
increase, which will help diversify the entire commercial loan
portfolio.  

Consumer loans, which include installment, credit card and student loans
increased the past four years.  Average outstandings increased by
approximately 43.31 percent or $11,970,000 for 1997 as compared to 12.27
percent or $3,025,000 for the year ended 1996.  Credit card activity
showed gradual growth throughout 1994 and 1995, after the Bank became an
"issuing bank" for both Mastercard and Visa in 1990.  Following a credit
card promotion in 1996, balances increased $982,000 from the previous
year and totaled $2,307,000 at June 30, 1996.  Credit card balances in
1997 increased $496,000, or 21.50 percent from June 30, 1996 to total
$2,803,000 at year-end.  Management believes that the outstanding
consumer loan totals will show continued growth in 1998.

Loan Portfolio (cont.)

Real estate loans increased to $51,271,000 at June 30, 1997, as compared
to $50,176,000 at June 30, 1996.  This increase of $1,095,000 
or 2.18 percent is due to an increase of $2,780,000 in the farmland real
estate portfolio, offset by a decrease in the residential real estate
portfolio of $1,684,000 due to scheduled payments and refinancing of 1-4
family residential mortgages.  The majority of new originations are
being sold into the secondary market.   Construction loans, which are
one year or less in length, are carried in the Bank's commercial loan
portfolio and totaled $10,629,000 at June 30, 1997 as compared to
$5,439,000 at June 30, 1996.  Upon completion of construction,
commitments for permanent financing are activated either within the
Bank's real estate loan portfolio or with other financial institutions.

The Bank's portfolio doesn't include foreign loans, nor does there exist
a concentration of borrowers engaged in the same industry that would
exceed 10 percent of total loans except for the agricultural sector. 
Approximately 22 percent or $44,385,000 of the total loan portfolio of
$200,824,000 represents agricultural-lending, both operations and long
term debt.  This compares to 24 percent, $41,126,000 at June 30, 1996,
and 28 percent, $44,140,000 at June 30, 1995.
  
The size of the Bank's agricultural loan portfolio warrants a close
working relationship with these customers.  At least annually each
customer presents projections, which include operating costs,
anticipated crop yields and market prices, and capital expenditures
required for their season's production.  The Bank's farm lending
officers meet with customers to review these projections to assure that
they are reasonable and incorporate the repayment of principal and
interest to the Bank, over a reasonable time period.  The revised
projections then provide a means for the Bank to monitor customer
performance during the current period and from year to year.

Once the extension of credit decision is made, the Bank follows a
program of monitoring the activities of their agricultural customers by
making farm visits regularly.  The condition of growing crops, review of
market trends for both crops and livestock, and comparison of actual
performance to projected goals are among issues considered at the time
of visits, as well as throughout the year.  The cooperation between the
Bank and its agricultural customers has provided a satisfactory
relationship over the years.

The results of the 1997 growing season in our trade area are mixed thus
far.  It is predicted that dry weather in July and August will cause
lower than average yields in the corn crop, but beans have the potential
to equal the average of 40 bushels/acre.  Corn and bean prices in 1996
were higher than anticipated which offset lower yields, but it is
predicted that 1997 prices will be significantly lower than in 1996.

Loan Portfolio (cont.)

Commercial nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1997 were $726,000, $443,000 or
61 percent of which were agricultural-related.  Management is acutely
aware of the inherent risks associated with agricultural lending via
weather and market.  Our experience dictates that the risks are
manageable and the Bancorp is prepared to assume them.

In 1996, the Bank's consumer loan emphasis was primarily in direct
lending.  In the latter part of 1996 and into 1997 more emphasis was 
placed on the indirect market.  Contacts with auto dealerships and a new
promotion caused an increase in the indirect market.  Management
continues to promote direct lending while increasing the indirect market
also.  Currently, approximately 36 percent of new originations are
indirect.  Indirect origination requests are received by the Bank on a
regular basis.  Indirect contracts are written based on the same
underwriting standards that are used for writing direct contracts.  The
decision to write the contract rests with the Bank.  Management expects
consumer loan volume to show strong growth for 1998 and is anticipating
that overall portfolio quality will continue as in the previous years. 
Sound underwriting standards and administration of the consumer loan
function should continue to maintain this segment of the loan portfolio. 
Our credit card activity, both Mastercard and Visa, should continue to
provide a favorable yield. 
                                                                         
Bancorp expects loan demand to remain strong during 1998, driven by very
competitive interest rates for both real estate mortgages and consumer
loans; and by the acquisition of quality commercial and agricultural
loans in the immediate surrounding areas.

In the course of extending credit, management recognizes that a
percentage of the loans will be uncollectible.  Accordingly, an
allowance for possible loan losses is established as an estimate of the
loans which may ultimately have to be written off.  During each month, a
provision for loan losses is recorded to maintain the adequacy of the
amount in the allowance for possible loan losses.  When warranted, loans
are charged off against this reserve.  











                                                           Page 33 of 81
Part II
Item 7  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

At June 30, 1997 the Bancorp's allowance for loan losses was $3,232,000,
or 1.61 percent of total loans compared to $2,741,000, 1.57 percent of
total loans in 1996 and $2,348,000, 1.50 percent of total loans in 1995. 
The tables above reflect the loan composition and allowance allocations
for the past four years.  While a portion of Bancorp's allowance for
loan losses is allocated to specific loan categories, improved credit
quality has resulted in a significant unallocated portion which provides
a cushion against future loan losses.  Management believes that the
reserve, despite the large unallocated portion is not excessive based on
norms for the industry and history of the Bank's loan portfolio prior to
1994.

Deposits:

The deposit base provides the major funding source for earning assets. 
The average daily deposit balance of $196,747,000 funded 86.64 percent
of the 1997 average earning assets of $227,080,000.  Average total
deposits in 1997 increased $8,570,000 or 4.55 percent from 1996 deposit
totals of $188,178,000.  A shift from long term deposits to shorter term
accounts continued in all retail deposit categories.  Interest bearing
deposits in denominations of $100,000 or greater totaled $23,361,000 at
June 30, 1997 compared to $20,250,000 at June 30, 1996.

Short-term Borrowings:

Short-term borrowings at June 30, 1997 consist of retail repurchase
agreements in the amount of $9,085,000 and borrowings in the amount of
$2,900,000 from the Federal Reserve Bank's Seasonal Line of Credit. 
Repurchase agreements are borrowings from customers that are
collateralized by a pledge of U.S. Government or Agency investments. 
Such borrowings provide alternatives for those customers who prefer this
form of investment.  The following table provides information about the
Bank's Repurchase Agreements.

At June 30, 1997 Bancorp had drawn $2,900,000 of its $5,000,000
agricultural seasonal line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago.  The Bancorp annually arranges for the availability of this
credit to temporarily fund seasonal agricultural loan demand.  This
seasonal line of credit is due to mature on December 31, 1997.  

In addition, at June 30, 1997 the Bancorp had drawn $7,477,000 in
various borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis to
match particular loan pools.  These borrowings were matched to specific
loan pools for comparable terms and at a favorable interest rate spread
to the Bank.  Details of these draws are found in Note #8, pages 57-58
of the accompanying financials.

Item 7  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

Capital Resources:

The strength of a company's capital position influences management's
willingness to take advantage of growth opportunities and provides the
capacity to absorb unforeseen financial difficulties.  Bancorp's capital
position remains strong.  Shareholders' equity was $25,476,000 on June
30, 1997 compared to $24,127,000 on June 30, 1996 and $22,821,000 on
June 30, 1995.  
                                                                         
The Bancorp and the Bank are subject to regulations that require the
maintenance of a leverage ratio (tier one capital to adjusted total
assets), a tier one risk-based capital ratio (tier one capital to risk
adjusted assets), and a total risk-based capital ratio (total capital to
risk adjusted assets).  These regulations require the maintenance of a
leverage ratio of at least 3 percent (for the best performing
institutions), a tier one risk-based capital ratio of at least 4
percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of a least 8 percent.

During 1991, Congress passed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act (FDICIA).  In addition to addressing the insurance
fund's financial needs, FDICIA required the FDIC to promulgate
regulations (which were issued in early 1993) outlining specific
regulatory actions that would occur when the capital level of a
financial institution deteriorated beyond a specified level.  A "well
capitalized" financial institution is defined as one which has a
leverage ratio of at least 5 percent, a tier one risk-based capital
ratio of at least 6 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio of at
least 10 percent.  The FDIC established five capital ranges (well
capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized).  Institutions that
are not deemed to be "well" or "adequately" capitalized are subject to
operational restrictions and higher deposit insurance assessments. 
These new regulations, effectively, establish minimum capital guidelines
in excess of the 3 percent (leverage), 4 percent (tier one risk-based),
and 8 percent (total risk-based) described above.

The Bancorp's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders depends
substantially upon the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Bancorp. 
Compliance with these regulations limits the amount of dividends that
may be paid by the companies.  At June 30, 1997, both the Bancorp and
the Bank have capital levels substantially in excess of those required. 
Bancorp's capital and capital ratios, which do not differ significantly
from bank-only ratios, were as follows at the dates indicated (dollars
in thousands):

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The objective of liquidity management is to provide for the cash needs
of the Bancorp at a reasonable cost.  Liquidity resources include liquid
assets and the Bancorp's ability to access additional sources of funds. 
Additional asset liquidity is provided by our ability to sell loans. 
Sales of real estate loans in the secondary market during 1997 generated
proceeds of $11,974,000 compared to $10,978,000 during 1996 and
$3,365,000 during 1995.  In addition, the Bancorp sold $879,000 of
student loans during the year ended June 30, 1996, compared to $298,000
during 1995.  

The liquidity position is analyzed by comparing expected needs against
planned resources.  Quantitative analysis of historical trends, seasonal
factors and cyclical influences are used to prepare forecasts of
liquidity needs. 

Asset liquidity is provided primarily by the maturity of loans. 
Additionally, Bancorp considers all securities that mature within one
year or have a call feature within the next year, all time deposits in
banks, bankers acceptances, and all federal funds sold to be sources of
asset liquidity.  The total of these resources at June 30, 1997 is
$9,457,000, compared to $13,008,000 at June 30, 1996.  The total of
these resources is down 27.30 percent from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 
1997.  The level at June 30, 1997 is deemed by management to be adequate
for funding purposes.  In addition, the Bancorp has wholesale funding
sources with Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve.

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT (cont.)

Unfunded loan commitments and unused lines of credit at June 30, 1997
were $38,790,000 and letters of credit were $1,506,000.  Many existing
commitments will expire without being used.  Consequently the
outstandings do not necessarily represent future cash commitments.  The
reality of unknown credit demands challenges the Asset/Liability
Committee to maintain funding sources sufficient to meet our
requirements.  If excess funds are available, the committee will strive
to invest them to effectively match our funding sources.  1998 has been
projected to be a year for an increased demand on funding levels as has
been the experience of the past year.  

The principal objectives of asset/liability management are to manage
interest rate risk, ensure adequate liquidity, and coordinate sources
and uses of funds.  The Bancorp engages in a formal process of
asset/liability management through an Asset/Liability ("A/L") Committee
of the Bank.  Through this committee, senior management actively
participates in the process, ensuring that actions are communicated and
implemented throughout the bank.

In the analysis of interest rate risk, the objective is to manage,
within acceptable limits, the impact on the income statement caused by
fluctuating interest rates and changing rate relationships.  Our policy
is to maintain a relatively neutral interest sensitive position and, if
necessary, the A/L committee may deviate from the neutral position
within our prescribed guidelines, which are reviewed by the Bancorp's
Board of Directors.  The A/L committee can then manage interest rate
risk, while responding to change in the balance sheet and financial
markets as they strive to improve net interest income.

Part II
Item 7  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (cont.)

The condensed GAP report (on the previous page) summarizes the Bank's
interest rate sensitivity.  Management projects that rates will remain
relatively level during the first quarter of the next fiscal year and
then expect a minor upward movement the remainder of the 1998 fiscal
year.  Should these projections be realized, a significant effect on
earnings is not anticipated.  Interest rates decreased slightly during
fiscal 1997.  With the decrease of rates, being negatively gapped has
been an advantage to the Bank.  Interest bearing liabilities have
repriced more quickly, at lower rates, than have interest earning
assets; resulting in an increase in the net interest margin.  Management
does believe that many of the deposit accounts and dollars are true core
deposits, and as such will not react significantly to changes in
interest rates.  This will lessen the effect of interest rate changes. 
The Bank continues to position itself to be as flexible as possible in
both earning assets and interest bearing liabilities by offering
variable rate loan and deposit instruments.  Although rate sensitivity
gaps constantly change as funds are acquired and invested, the Bancorp's
cumulative gaps at all intervals are viewed by management to be a
relatively low percentage of total assets.
  

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING ISSUES

Financial Accounting Standard No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities", was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1996.  It revised
the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and
securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. 
It is effective prospectively for some transactions occurring after
December 31, 1996 and others in 1998.  The impact of partial adoption
closing 1997 was not significant.  Management does not expect that full
adoption of the Standard in 1998 will significantly impact the Bancorp's
financial position or results of operations.

Part II
Item 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A derivative financial instrument includes futures, forwards, interest
rate swaps, option contracts, and other financial instruments with
similar characteristics.  The Bancorp currently does not enter into
futures, forwards, swaps, or options.  However, the Bancorp is party to
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course
of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit.  These instruments involve to varying degrees,
elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.  Commitments to extend
credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates and may require collateral from
the borrower if deemed necessary by the Bancorp.  Standby letters of
credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bancorp to guarantee
the performance of a customer to a third party up to a stipulated amount
and with specified terms and conditions.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are not
recorded as an asset or liability by the Bancorp until the instrument is
exercised.

The Bank's exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the
Asset/Liability Committee.  Interest rate risk is the potential of
economic losses due to future interest rate changes.  These economic
losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a
loss of current fair market values.  The objective is to measure the
effect on net interest income and to adjust the balance sheet to
minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximize income. 
Management realizes certain risks are inherent and that the goal is to
identify and minimize the risks.  Tools used by management include the
standard GAP report and a recently instituted interest rate shock
simulation report.  The Bank has no market risk sensitive instruments
held for trading purposes.  It appears the Bank's market risk is
reasonable at this time.  The condensed GAP report summarizing the
Banks's interest rate sensitivity is as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Farmers Bancorp 
Frankfort, Indiana


We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of The Farmers Bancorp
as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 and the related consolidated statements of
income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended June 30, 1997.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
Farmers Bancorp as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        JUNE 30, 1997, 1996, AND 1995

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Reporting:  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of The Farmers Bancorp ("Bancorp") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, The Farmers Bank ("Bank").  Upon consolidation, all
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Description of Business:  Bancorp operates primarily in the banking
industry which accounts for more than 90% of its revenues, operating
income and assets.  The Bank generates commercial, installment and
mortgage loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in
the Clinton County, Indiana area.  Although the overall loan portfolio
is diversified, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor
their contracts is dependent upon the agricultural industry.  The
majority of the Bank's loans are secured by specific items of collateral
including business assets, consumer assets and real property.

Use of Estimates:  Management must make estimates and assumptions in
preparing financial statements that affect the amounts reported therein
and the disclosures provided.  These estimates and assumptions may
change in the future, and future results could differ.  Significant
areas involving the use of management s estimates and assumptions that
are more susceptible to change in the near term include the allowance
for loan losses, the fair values of certain securities and other
financial instruments, the determination and carrying value of impaired
loans and the carrying value of loans held for sale.

Securities: The Bancorp classifies its securities as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale.  Held-to-maturity securities are those which the
Bancorp has the intent and ability to hold until maturity.  These are
reported at amortized cost.  Available-for-sale securities are those
which management may decide to sell, if needed, for liquidity, asset-
liability management, or other reasons.  Available-for-sale securities
are reported at fair value with unrealized appreciation or depreciation
included as a separate component of shareholders  equity, net of tax.

Realized gains or losses are determined based on the amortized cost of
the specific security sold.  Interest and dividend income, adjusted for
the amortization of purchase premiums or discounts, is included in
earnings.

Loans Held for Sale:  The Bank originates certain fixed rate residential
real estate loans for sale in the secondary market.  Loans held for sale
are carried at the lower of cost or aggregate market value.  At June 30,
1996, the market value of these loans exceeded their cost.  There were
no loans held for sale at June 30, 1997.

Mortgage banking revenue on the statement of income consists of gains
and losses realized when loans are sold, unrealized gains and losses
related to loans held for sale and service fee revenue earned after
loans are sold.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Interest Income on Loans:  Interest on loans is accrued over the term of
the loans based on the principal outstanding.  Loans are placed on non-
accrual status when the collection of interest becomes doubtful.  Loan
fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs, are deferred and
recognized into interest income over the term of the loan using the
level yield method.

Allowance for Loan Losses:  The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
allowance, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by
charge-offs less recoveries.  Management estimates the allowance balance
required based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in
the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and
estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. 
Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the
entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management s
judgment, should be charged-off.

Loan impairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is
not expected.  Impairment is evaluated collectively for smaller-balance
loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and
credit card loans, and on an individual loan basis for other loans.  If
a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the
loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash
flows using the loan s existing rate.

In general, loans classified as doubtful or loss are considered impaired
while loans classified as substandard are individually evaluated for
impairment.  Depending on the relative size of the credit relationship,
late or insufficient payments of 30 to 90 days will cause management to
re-evaluate the credit under its normal evaluation procedures.

The carrying values of impaired loans are periodically adjusted to
reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows, and
increases in the present value of expected cash flows due to the passage
of time.  Cash payments representing interest income are reported as
such.  Other cash payments are reported as reductions in carrying value,
while increases or decreases due to changes in estimates of future
payments and due to the passage of time are reported as reductions or
increases to the provision for loan losses.

Premises and Equipment:  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation.  Premises and equipment are depreciated on the
straight-line and declining-balance methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets.

Other Real Estate:  Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried
at the lower of cost (fair value at date of foreclosure) or fair value
less estimated cost to sell.  If it is later determined that the total
capitalized cost of the property cannot be recovered through its sale or
use, the loss is immediately recognized by a charge to income and the
creation of a reserve.  Expenses incurred in carrying other real estate
are charged to operations as incurred.

                        JUNE 30, 1997, 1996, AND 1995

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes:  Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined at
each balance sheet date.  They are measured by applying enacted tax laws
to future amounts that will result from differences in the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities.  Recognition of
deferred tax assets is limited by the establishment of a valuation
reserve unless management concludes that the assets will more likely
than not result in future tax benefits to the Bancorp.  Income tax
expense equals the amount currently payable on the income tax return
plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Statement of Cash Flows:  For purposes of the statement of cash flows,
cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks,
federal funds sold and short-term money market investments.  Bancorp
reports net cash flows for customer loan and deposit transactions, for
interest-bearing balances with financial institutions and for short-term
borrowings.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments:  Fair values of financial
instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other
assumptions, as more fully disclosed separately.  Fair value estimates
involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding
interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially
in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in
assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the
estimates.  The fair value estimates of existing on- and off-balance
sheet financial instruments does not include the value of anticipated
future business or the values of assets and liabilities not considered
financial instruments.

Financial Statement Presentation:  Certain items in the 1996 and 1995
financial statements have been reclassified to correspond with the 1997
presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on shareholders'
equity or the results of operations.

NOTE 9 - BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

Significant actuarial assumptions which affect the Plan's obligations
and funding requirements are as follows:

                                                1997      1996     1995

  Weighted average discount rate                7.00%     7.00%    7.00%
  Increase in annual compensation               5.00      5.00     5.00
  Long-term rate of return on Plan assets       7.50      7.50     7.50
  
The unrecognized prior service gain relates to the effect of changes in
the Plan's benefit formula.  These gains are being amortized, using the
straight line method, over the remaining average service lives of Plan
participants.

Plan assets consist primarily of investments in interest-bearing
balances with financial institutions, U.S. Treasury notes, U.S.
Government agencies and corporate bonds and notes.

The Bank also maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of eligible
employees.  Employer contributions include discretionary contributions
and the matching of a portion of employee contributions.  Expense
recognized for this plan was $36, $27 and $26 for 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

The Bank maintains a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of
certain directors, executive officers and independent contractors.  In
return for relinquishing the right to a portion of their current
compensation, the Bank agrees to pay participants a retirement benefit,
in the form of a monthly payment for up to 180 months.  The liability
accrued at June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $1,008 and $821, respectively and
the expense recognized during 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $228, $310 and
$211, respectively.

The Bank also maintains a death benefit plan for the benefit of
officers.  Under the plan, if the participant dies prior to retirement,
the Bank agrees to pay a specified death benefit to designated
beneficiaries.

In conjunction with the deferred compensation and death benefit plans,
the Bank purchased life insurance on the participants.  The cash
surrender value of such insurance at June 30, 1997 and 1996 was $4,774
and $4,510, respectively, and is included in "accrued income and other
assets" on the Bancorp's consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 11 - PER SHARE DATA

On October 14, 1996, the Board approved a 2-for-1 stock split effective
October 28, 1996.  All per share data has been restated to give
retroactive effect to that stock split.

Earnings per common share have been computed based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the years presented.  The
number of shares used in the computation was 1,154,116 for all years
presented.


NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ITEMS

The Bank has operating leases covering certain of its properties. 
Expense for leased premises was $66 for 1997, $64 for 1996 and $56 for
1995.  Minimum lease payments at June 30, 1997 for all non-cancelable
leases are as follows:

      1998                                 $     64
      1999                                       22

The Bank, in the ordinary course of business, has commitments and
contingent liabilities, such as guarantees and commitments to extend
credit which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.  The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for
commitments to make loans, standby letters of credit, and financial
guarantees is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policy to make such
commitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet items.

NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ITEMS (Continued)

At June 30, 1997 and 1996, these financial instruments are summarized as
follows:

                                                       1997        1996
Financial instruments which contract amount
 represents credit risk:
  Unused commercial lines of credit                $  20,907   $  15,732
  Unused revolving lines of credit                    13,924      11,503
  Commitments to make loans                            3,959       7,289
  Stand by letters of credit                           1,506         381

The unused revolving and commercial lines of credit are predominantly
variable rate agreements.  The commitments are agreements to lend to a
customer, provided they accept the terms and conditions offered by the
Bank.  These commitments are generally extended for terms of up to 60
days and, in many cases, allow the customer to select from one of
several financing options offered.  At June 30, 1997, these commitments
included $467 of fixed-rate loan commitments at rates ranging from 7.50%
to 10.00%.  Since many commitments to make loans expire without being
used, the amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments. 
Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using
management s credit evaluation of the borrower, and may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, land and other items.

At June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Bank was required to have $2,033 and
$2,299 on deposit with the Federal Reserve or as cash on hand as
reserve.  These reserves do not earn interest.

The Bancorp is also subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily
in the ordinary course of business.  It is the opinion of management
that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits
will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position of the Bancorp.


NOTE 13 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial
statements.  These guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action involve quantitative measures of capital, assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices as well as qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.









                                                           Page 63 of 81
NOTE 13 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (Continued)

Compliance with these regulations can limit dividends paid by either
entity.  Both entities must comply with regulations that establish
minimum levels of capital adequacy.  The Bank must also comply with
capital requirements promulgated by the FDIC under its "prompt
corrective action" rules.  The Bank s deposit insurance assessment rate
is based, in part, on these measurements.  At June 30, 1997, the Bank s
capital levels result in it being designated "well capitalized" under
these guidelines.

The Bancorp consolidated and the Bank s (Bank only) capital amounts and
ratios at June 30, 1997 are presented below:

                                                        Minimum Required

customers of the Bank.  A schedule of the aggregate activity in such
loans, when total customer borrowings exceed $60, follows:

NOTE 15 - DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(Continued)

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instruments at June 30, 1997 and 1996:

Cash and Due from Banks:  The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate
of the fair value of cash and short-term investments.

Securities:  For securities, fair value equals quoted market value for
the individual securities.  If a quoted market price is not available,
fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
instruments.

Net Loans:  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting
projected future cash flows using the current rates at which similar
loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for similar
remaining maturities.

Deposits:  The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date.  The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is
estimated by discounting projected future cash flows using rates
currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Short-term Borrowings:  These obligations are generally variable rate or
are for very short terms.  Accordingly, their carrying amount is a
reasonable estimate of fair value.

Other Borrowings:  The estimated fair value of other borrowings is based
upon the current rate that the Bancorp would pay for similar borrowings,
applied to the time period until maturity.

Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit:  The carrying value of these
commitments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  These investments
are generally variable rate and/or short-term in nature with minimal
fees charged.

NOTE 17 - IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Accounting Standard No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities", was
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1996.  It revised
the accounting for transfers of financial assets, such as loans and
securities, and for distinguishing between sales and secured borrowings. 
It is effective prospectively for some transactions occurring after
December 31, 1996 and others in 1998.  The impact of partial adoption in
1997 was not significant.  Management does not expect that full adoption
of the Standard in 1998 will significantly impact the Company s
financial position or results of operations.

     President of Bank
     
    (1) Bank contributions for fiscal year to Internal Revenue Code

Tom Rohrabaugh is a participant in a deferred compensation plan
established during the year ended June 30, 1993, and will receive
$21,419 per year for 15 years following his retirement or his death. 
Such benefit is to be paid in equal monthly installments and the amount
he will receive is conditioned upon Mr. Rohrabaugh deferring receipt of
5 percent of his monthly base compensation, which he would otherwise be
entitled to receive from the Bank, through the date of his retirement,
expected to be December 1998.  In addition to the benefit described
above, Mr. Rohrabaugh shall be entitled to receive a one-time lump sum
death benefit in the amount of $10,000.

John L. Conway is a participant in a deferred compensation plan
established during the year ended June 30, 1993 and will receive $28,044
per year for 15 years following his retirement or his death.  Such
benefit is to be paid in equal monthly installments.  In addition to the
benefits described above, Mr. Conway shall be entitled to receive a one-
time lump-sum death benefit in the amount of $10,000.

Part III
Item 11 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (cont.)

The Bank maintains a death benefit plan covering all officers.  By the
purchase of a whole life insurance product, the Bank would be owner and
beneficiary of the policies.  The Bank, in turn, executes an agreement
with each officer to pay a specified death benefit to each officer's
beneficiary if death occurs before retirement. 

Upon retirement, the officer will have the option to continue the
existing death benefit coverage through a split dollar agreement with
the Bank.  The Bank will assign the death benefit portion to the officer
for the portion of death benefit they had at retirement, or a lesser
amount if the officer chooses.  The Bank retains the ownership of the
cash surrender value of the policy plus the balance of the death
benefit, if any.  The retired Bank officer does assume the economic
benefit accruing to the policy and is responsible to pay the taxes for
such benefit.  It thereby will make the proceeds received by the retired
officers' beneficiary free of federal income tax under the current tax
laws.  

This program replaced the existing group term policy that had been in
effect for many years.  The former group plan resulted in an expense
only and the new death benefit program is expected to provide a
reasonable rate of return on the Bank's investment.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS:

Each outside director of the Bank and Bancorp, who did not elect to
participate in the deferred compensation program described below,
received a $6,000 director's fee for the year ended June 30, 1997; 
except the Chairman of the Board received $9,600, and the Secretary
received $8,400.  In addition an attendance fee of $150 per board and
committee meeting is paid to outside directors on a quarterly basis. 
Those outside directors serving on the Finance Committee receive $300 as
an attendance fee.

The Bank maintains a deferred compensation program for the benefit of
certain executive officers, directors and independent contractors who
elect to participate.  Directors Joe C. Doan, Joseph V. Lahrman, Jack W.
Ransom, Rawl V. Ransom and Stanley K. Smith elected to participate in
the plan.  In return for deferring a percent of the directors fees they
would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Bank and the Bancorp for
a period of five years, they will receive annual benefits of $36,426,
$9,494, $33,847, $8,650 and $45,724, respectively.  Such benefits will
be paid in equal monthly installments and will continue for 10 years. 
The payments will commence upon the later of their 65th birthday or
their completion of five years' further service to the Bank and Bancorp
as a director.  In addition, each participant shall be entitled to
receive a one-time lump-sum death benefit in the amount of $10,000.

Item 13  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of the Bank and
Bancorp and their respective associates were customers of, and have had
transactions with, the Bank in the ordinary course of business during
1997.  Comparable transactions may be expected to take place in the
future.

During 1997, certain directors and executive officers of the Bank and
the Bancorp and their respective associates were indebted to the Bank
from time to time.  The outstanding balance due from such individuals
whose aggregate indebtedness exceeded $60,000 at June 30, 1997 was
$1,571,000, or 6.17 percent of Bancorp's total shareholders' equity. 
See Note #14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, page 65
of this report.  These loans were made in the ordinary course of
business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for similar transactions
with other persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

Director R. Kent Ryan Jr. is a member of the law firm of Ryan, Moore
Cook and Hunter.  This firm, serving as legal counsel for the Bancorp,
was paid $83,100 for services rendered during 1997.  The Bancorp does
anticipate the continued use of this law firm in the future.
