PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

S. Y. Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp"), a Kentucky corporation headquartered in
Louisville, Kentucky, is a bank holding company registered with, and subject to
supervision, regulation and examination by, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company ("the Bank") is the
wholly-owned subsidiary of Bancorp. Bancorp has no subsidiary other than the
Bank. Bancorp conducts no active business operations; accordingly, the business
of Bancorp is substantially the same as that of the Bank.

The Bank was originally chartered and began operations as a state bank
under the name "Stockyards Bank" in 1904. In 1972, the Bank was granted full
trust powers and changed its name to "Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company."

While primarily serving Jefferson County, Kentucky, the Bank also serves
customers residing in the adjacent Kentucky counties of Oldham, Shelby and
Bullitt and in Southern Indiana.

The Bank engages in a wide range of commercial and personal banking
activities, including the usual acceptance of deposits for checking, savings and
time deposit accounts; making of secured and unsecured loans to corporation,
individuals and others; issuance of letters of credit; leasing activities and
rental of safe deposit boxes. The Bank's lending services include the making of
commercial, industrial, real estate, installment and guaranteed student
loans. Interest and fees on consumer, real estate and commercial loans
constitute the largest contribution to the Bank's operating revenues. In
addition, the Bank offers Visa credit card services through an agreement with
a non-affiliated bank. Customers of the Bank also have access to automatic
teller machines through a regional network.

In 1992, Stock Yards Bank Mortgage Company, a division of the Bank, began
operations. This division originates residential mortgage loans and sells the
loans in the secondary market. The Mortgage division provides customers with a
variety of options for home mortgages, including VA and FHA financing.

The Bank provides a wide range of personal and corporate trust services.
Assets under management in the Trust Department totaled approximately
$343,000,000 at December 31, 1995.

The Bank actively competes on the local and regional levels with other
commercial banks and financial institutions for all types of deposits, loans,
trust accounts, and providing financial and other services offered by the Bank.
Many of the banks and other financial institutions with which the Bank competes
have capital and resources substantially in excess of the capital and resources
of the Bank.

After being a unit bank for 85 years, the Bank opened its first branch
facility in 1989. Two additional suburban offices opened in 1992, a fourth
branch opened in January, 1993, a fifth opened in February, 1994 and a sixth
opened in 1995. All branch offices are full service financial centers. See
"ITEM 2. PROPERTIES."


1
At December 31,1995, the Bank had 188 full-time equivalent employees.

Bancorp is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Act of
1956, as amended, and is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by
the Board of Governors of the Federal reserve System. Under the Bank Holding
Company Act, a bank holding company is, with limited exceptions, prohibited from
(i) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of
any company which is not a bank or (ii) engaging in any activity other than
managing or controlling the banks.

Notwithstanding this prohibition, a bank holding company may engage or own
shares of a company that engages solely in activities which the Federal Reserve
Board has determined to be so closely related to banking, or managing or
controlling banks, as to be a proper incident thereto.

A bank holding company is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board
annual reports and other information regarding its business operations and the
business operations of its subsidiaries. It is also subject to examination by
the Federal reserve Board and is required to obtain Federal Reserve Board
approval prior to acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any
voting shares of any bank, if, after such acquisition, it would own or control,
directly or indirectly, more than five percent of the voting stock of such bank
unless it already owns a majority of the voting stock of such bank.

The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision, of which regular bank
examinations are a part, by the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions
and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") which currently insures
the deposits of the Bank to a maximum $100,000 per depositor. For this
protection, the Bank pays a semi-annual statutory assessment and is subject to
the rules and regulations of the FDIC pertaining to deposit insurance.

The enactment of the Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
(FIRREA), among other things, placed the savings and loans insurance fund under
the control of the FDIC. FIRREA allows bank holding companies to acquire and
operate savings associations. It has led to many structural changes in
competition for loans, deposits and other services and affected collateral
valuation methods.

In December, 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act (FDICIA)was enacted which, among other things, was intended to protect
the federal deposit insurance fund by taking prompt actions with respect to
under capitalized institutions. Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company has been
designated as "well capitalized" by the FDIC. FDICIA contains numerous
other provisions. The regulations implementing FDICIA are directed towards
institutions with total assets of or greater than $500 million. Therefore,
FDICIA is not yet applicable to Bancorp or the Bank.

In September, 1994, the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory
Improvement Act of 1994 ( the "Development Act") was enacted. The Development
Act establishes financial and other assistance for entities involved primarily
in community development activities. Provisions of the Development Act also make
changes in a number of areas regarding regulation of banks.


2
In September, 1994, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Act
of 1994 (the "Interstate Banking Act") was enacted. Among other things,
provisions of the Interstate Banking Act; (i) permit bank holding companies to
acquire control of banks in any state beginning September, 1995, subject to
certain restrictions; (ii) authorize interstate mergers by banks in different
states, including branching through bank mergers, beginning June, 1997,
subject to certain restrictions; and (iii) authorizes states to enact
legislation permitting interstate de novo branching.

The full impact of the Development Act and the Interstate Banking act will
not be completely known until the enactment and implementation by the various
federal banking agencies of the underlying regulations and actions required by
the Acts. However, it is anticipated that the Development Act may reduce certain
regulatory burdens on financial institutions and the Interstate Banking Act may
facilitate consolidation within multilevel financial institutions and in the
banking industry. Management expects that the Development Act and the Interstate
Banking Act will have little if any effect on Bancorp.

The tables and discussions appearing on pages 3-10 of this Form 10-K
contain selected statistical information with respect to Bancorp and the Bank
which should be read together with the consolidated financial statements of
Bancorp included at pages 15 through 26 in Bancorp's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1995, incorporated herein by
reference.

DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS'
EQUITY; INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL

The schedule captioned, "Average Balances and Interest Rates - Taxable
Equivalent Basis", included on page 11 of Bancorps Annual Report to Shareholders
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, is incorporated herein by
reference and the following schedule captioned "Average Balances and Interest
Rates - Taxable Equivalent Basis" for the year ended December 31, 1993, together
show, for each major category of interest earning asset and interest bearing
liability, the average amount outstanding, the interest earned or expensed on
such amount, and the average rate earned or expensed for each of the years
in the three year period ended December 31, 1995. The schedules also show net
interest income, net income spreads and net interests margins (net interest
income divided by total average earning assets, for each of the years in the
three year period ended December 31, 1995. Total interest income includes the
effects of taxable equivalent adjustments using a tax rate of 34%.
Nonaccrual loans have been included in the average loan balances and are
included in the calculation of average rates on loans. Yield on securities
available for sale is computed using average amortized cost.

The change in interest income and interest expense resulting from changes
in volume and changes in rates for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
are shown in the schedule captioned "Taxable Equivalent Rate/Volume Analysis"
include on page 7 of Bancorp's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended
December 31, 1995, incorporated herein by reference. The change in interest due
to both rate and volume has been allocated to the change due to volume and the
change due to rate in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar
amounts of the change in each.

</TABLE>


In determining the annual provision for loan losses charged to expense,
management carefully considers many factors. Among these are the quality of the
loan portfolio, previous loss experience, the size and composition of the loan
portfolio and an assessment of the impact of current economic conditions on the
financial condition of borrowers. In addition, the results of internal reviews
of individual credits and periodic examinations by supervisory authorities and
external auditors are considered.

The following table sets forth the allocation of the allowance for loan
losses for the loan categories shown. Although specific allocations exist, the
