We are listed on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, symbol KTYB.OB. ear- We are pleased to report that for the year ended December 31, 2009, Kentucky Bancshares, Inc. showed a net income mcrease of 30.6% over prior year, from $3.7 miUion to $4.8 miEion. As a result our earnings per share, on a diluted basis, increased from $1.33 to $1.77, a 33% increase. The book value per share increased from $20,77 per share to $22.25 per share; a 7.1% improvement. Your company experienced a 0.5% decline in assets as we ended the year at $675.2 miUion compared to $678.8 milUon at year end 2008. Our loans were up 0.3% and ended the year at $425.4 miUion versus the $424.3 miUion for December 31, 2008. Deposits grew 3.0% and increased from $520.8 million to $536.4 miUion. Most of the increase we experienced in deposits was in the demand deposit and savings account areas. Without a doubt, 2008 and 2009 have been the most chaUengung years for the national, state, and local economies. Last year at this same time we anticipated that 2009 would be a continuation of the difficulties experienced in 2008, and unfortunately that has been the case. Just to cite a recent example, the unemployment rate in all 120 Kentucky counties has increased in 2009. In 95 of those counties, the unemployment rate is over 10%. This unemployment issue wiU not be quickly resolved. There have been some signs that the economy may have now bottomed out, but the most significant lingering question is how long wiU we be facing these difficult times. The impact on the banldng industry has been serious. In the fourth quarter of 2009, 32.7% of banks reported losses, which is a slight improvement over 2008. The good news is that for the fuU year, banks reported an overall increase in earnings. Also reflective of the continuing 2009 recession is the fact that loan growth declined 1.7% in the fourth quarter, which is the sixth consecutive quarter in which the banking industry has experienced decUning loan balances. Banks are also deaUng with issues beyond the economy and those are primarily regulatory in nature. Congress has introduced reform legislation in 2009 that wiU no doubt demand that the ^ industry find creative ways to generate revenue. On the expense side, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has imposed on aU banks a three year prepayment of deposit insurance premiums. For Kentucky Bank, this amounted to approximately $1.0 miUion annuaUy Two years ago this premium was approximately $180,000. Despite these chaUenges, we were pleased to be able to have an increase in earnings in 2009. We have now put in place many of our cost control efforts that we have mentioned throughout the year We continue to focus vigorously on credit issues as they arise. However, we also feel that this is a time for us to redouble our efforts in providing our customers and cUents with Premier Customer Service. AdditionaUy we beUeve that this is an oppormne time to focus on building business. There are many people and businesses to whom we can provide exceUent banking services, and in difficult times often they are overlooked or underserved by their current financial institutions. We want to take advantage of this opportunity and as a result, we have put into place business development strategies to capitalize on our strengths as a bank. Repeatedly we have said that these are the most difficult economic times that we have faced in 75 years. To recover from these difficulties it wiU take time, perseverance, and hard work. We are dedicating ourselves to accompUshing our goals so that when the economy does in fact recover, Kenmcky Bancshares, Inc. wUl be ia a strong position to enjoy the benefits of our efforts. As always, we appreciate your support. Q^A^J^ />fr?£/. Louis Prichard President & CEO Kentucky Bancshares, Inc.
