Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary, to present fairly the consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2000 and 1999, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, these statements do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Registrant" or "Company"). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its separate and distinct, wholly owned subsidiaries Community Trust Bank, National Association; Community Trust Bank, FSB; Trust Company of Kentucky, National Association; CTBI Preferred Capital Trust and Community Trust Funding Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In September 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," effective for all fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 1999. In September 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," to amend SFAS No. 133 to be effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, requiring recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measurement of those instruments at fair value. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on January 1, 2001 is not expected to have a material effect on the Registrant's consolidated statement of financial condition or results of operations.

Note 2 - Securities

Securities are classified into held-to-maturity and available-for-sale categories. Held-to-maturity securities are those that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are those that the Company 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 equity, net of tax.

The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2000 represents a 2 cents per share increase in earnings compared to the same period last year. The increase in earnings per share is primarily attributable to the reduction in common shares outstanding resulting from the Company's stock repurchase program.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased $99 thousand or (0.47%) from $21.1 million for the third quarter of 1999 to $21.0 million for the third quarter of 2000. Interest income increased $3.9 million or 9.6% for the quarter ending September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999, while interest expense increased $4.0 million or 20.4%.

The increase in both interest income and interest expense can be attributed to increases in interest rates experienced since September 30, 1999. The yield on interest earning assets increased 56 basis points for the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The cost of interest bearing funds also increased, by 84 basis points, for the third quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Current activities within the economy could continue to put pressure on the Company's interest margin.

The Company's loan portfolio, its highest yielding asset, continues to expand through internally generated growth. The Company's loan portfolio increased 5.7% on an annualized basis from $1.62 billion at December 31, 1999 to $1.69 billion at September 30, 2000.

The following table summarizes the annualized net interest spread and net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999.

The Company experienced a $456,000 (23.1%) increase in net charge-offs and a $287,000 (13.1%) increase in loan loss provision expense in the third quarter of 2000 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Despite this increase in net charge-offs, the Company was able to maintain its policy of funding 100% of its loan losses and funding new loan growth at the rate of 1.5% into the allowance for loan losses.

Net charge-offs represent the amount of loans charged-off less the amounts recovered on loans previously charged-off. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding decreased 15 basis points to 0.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The Company's non-performing loans (90 days or more past due and non-accrual) were 1.12% and 1.30% of outstanding loans at December 31, 1999 and September 30, 2000, respectively.

 

Any loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention that are not included in non-performing loans do not (1) represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources or (2) represent material credits about which management has knowledge of any information which would cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. The Company does not believe there are currently any trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the volume of its non-performing loans.

Noninterest Income

The Company's noninterest income decreased 13.0% from $5.53 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $4.81 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The Company continues to have pressure on its noninterest income resulting from a decline in consumer loan activity and related fees. The decline in noninterest income compared to the same period in 1999 was driven by a $612,000 decline in loan related noninterest income including gains on sales of loans, loan fees and insurance commissions. This is primarily due to the decline in mortgage loan sales and consumer lending activity that accompanies a rising interest rate environment and because the Company has strengthened the underwriting standards of its consumer loan portfolio. The changes in underwriting standards have resulted in a decrease in the volume of new loans booked.

 

Noninterest Expense

CTBI's noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2000 experienced a decrease of $981,000 or 6.0% from the same period in 1999. The reduction in operating expenses was fueled by significant reductions in Salaries and Employee Benefits expense ($748,000) and in Occupancy and Equipment ($366,000). The reduction in noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $1.1 million or 2.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Balance Sheet Review

Total asset size grew 2.82% to $2.22 billion at September 30, 2000 from $2.18 billion at December 31, 1999. The Company's largest liability, deposits, increased 2.32% from $1.88 billion as of December 31, 1999 to $1.91 billion as of September 30, 2000. Noninterest bearing deposits declined from $261.9 million at December 31, 1999 to $254.5 million at September 30, 2000. Interest bearing deposits increased from $1,615.5 million at December 31, 1999 to $1,655.5 million at September 30, 2000. In late June, 2000 the Company implemented a reserve link product designed to reduce its Federal Reserve Bank reserve requirement. This implementation has allowed the Company to add an additional $9.2 million to its earning assets. The growth in deposits and increase in earning assets due to the implementation of the reserve link product was used to fund increases in the loan portfolio of $69.1 million and in total earning assets of $78.5 million.

 

Loans

Loans increased from $1.62 billion as of December 31, 1999 to $1.69 billion as of September 30, 2000, primarily due to the growth of $62.4 million in the Company's commercial loan portfolio and $31.1 million in the Company's real estate mortgage loan portfolio. The category of commercial loans secured by real estate increased from $406.3 million as of December 31, 1999 to $463.6 million as of September 30, 2000 while other commercial loans increased from $293.7 million as of December 31, 1999 to $301.4 million as of September 30, 2000. The category of real estate mortgage loans increased from $397.2 million as of December 31, 1999 to $428.3 million as of September 30, 2000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consumer loans of $22.1 million. This is primarily due to the decline in consumer lending activity that accompanies a rising interest rate environment and because the Company has strengthened the underwriting standards of its consumer loan portfolio. The changes in underwriting standards have resulted in a decrease in the volume of new loans booked.

Non-accrual and 90 days past due loans amounted to 1.12% of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 1.30% of total loans outstanding as of September 30, 2000. Non-accrual loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding were 0.92% as of December 31, 1999 and at 1.12% at September 30, 2000. During the same period, loans 90 days or more past due decreased 2 basis points from 0.20% of total loans outstanding to 0.18%. The allowance for loan losses decreased from 1.55% of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 1999 to 1.53% as of September 30, 2000. Although the Company may experience varied levels of losses from quarter to quarter, it believes that no additional significant losses are anticipated in its current non-performing assets. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more was 138.7% at December 31, 1999 and 117.8% at September 30, 2000.

Loans on non-accrual status increased from $14.9 million at December 31, 1999 to $18.9 million at September 30, 2000, an increase of $4.0 million. This increase was substantially due to the additions of two secured commercial loans to the category of non-accrual loans totaling $4.6 million. One of the businesses continues to operate, and the other has a contract for sale in place. The Company does not anticipate a material loss from these two loans.

The following table summarizes the Company's loans that are non-accrual or past due 90 days or more as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

Allowance for loan losses

Management analyzes the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The loan portfolio of each market region is analyzed by each major loan category, with a review of the following areas: (i) specific allocations based upon a review of selected loans for loss potential; (ii) an allocation which estimates reserves based upon the remaining pool of loans in each category derived from historical net charge-off data, delinquency trends and other relevant factors and (iii) an unallocated portion of the allowance which provides for a margin of error in estimating the allocations described above and provides for risks inherent in the portfolio which may not be specifically addressed elsewhere.

Off-balance sheet risk is addressed by including letters of credit in the Company's allowance adequacy analysis and through a monthly review of all letters of credit outstanding. The Company's loan review and problem loan analysis includes evaluation of deteriorating letters of credit. Volume and trends in delinquencies are monitored monthly by management, regional advisory boards and the boards of directors of the respective banks.

Securities

The Company uses its securities held-to-maturity for production of income and to manage cash flow needs through expected maturities. The Company uses its securities available-for-sale for income and balance sheet liquidity management. The book value of securities available-for-sale decreased from $270.3 million as of December 31, 1999 to $236.8 million as of September 30, 2000. Securities held-to-maturity declined from $60.3 million to $52.5 million during the same period. Total securities as a percentage of total assets were 15.2% as of December 31, 1999 and 13.0% as of September 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's liquidity objectives are to ensure that funds are available for the subsidiary banks to meet deposit withdrawals and credit demands without unduly penalizing profitability, and to ensure that funding is available for the Company to meet ongoing cash needs while maximizing profitability. The Company continues to identify ways to provide for liquidity on both a current and long-term basis. The subsidiary banks rely mainly on core deposits, certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more, repayment of principal and interest on loans and securities and federal funds sold and purchased to create long-term liquidity. The subsidiary banks also rely on the sale of securities under repurchase agreements, securities available-for-sale and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.

Due to the nature of the markets served by the subsidiary banks, management believes that the majority of its certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more are no more volatile than its core deposits. During periods of interest rate volatility, these deposit balances have remained stable as a percentage of total deposits. In addition, arrangements have been made with correspondent banks for the purchase of federal funds on an unsecured basis, up to an aggregate of nearly $100 million, if necessary, to meet the Company's liquidity needs.

The Company owns $236.8 million of securities valued at market price that are designated as available-for-sale and available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis. The Company also relies on Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both liquidity and management of its asset/liability position. These advances have sometimes been matched against pools of residential mortgage loans, which are not sold in the secondary market, some of which have original maturities of ten to fifteen years. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased from $16.9 million as of December 31, 1999 to $14.3 million as of September 30, 2000.

The Company generally relies upon net inflows of cash from financing activities, supplemented by net inflows of cash from operating activities, to provide cash for its investing activities. As is typical of many financial institutions, significant financing activities include deposit gathering, use of short-term borrowing facilities such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, and issuance of long-term debt. The Company currently has a $21.0 million revolving line of credit, $15.5 million is currently available to meet any future cash needs. The Company's primary investing activities include purchases of securities and loan originations. During the third quarter the Company continued its stock repurchase program, acquiring 211,345 shares of Company stock. The Company's stock repurchase program continues to be accretive to shareholder value. The Company began a program of stock repurchase in December 1998 with the authorization to acquire up to 500,000 shares. The Company issued a press release in July 2000 announcing its intention to repurchase up to an additional 1,000,000 shares. Through this program during the first nine months of 2000 the Company acquired 447,095 shares of stock.

In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity, management monitors the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the balance sheet. The Company monitors its interest rate risk by use of the static and dynamic gap models at the one-year interval. The static gap model monitors the difference in interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities as a percentage of total assets that mature within the specified time frame. The dynamic gap model goes further in that it assumes that interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities will be reinvested. The Company uses the Sendero system to monitor its interest rate risk. The Company desires an interest sensitivity gap of not more than fifteen percent of total assets at the one-year interval.

On a limited basis, the Company may use interest rate swaps and sales of options on securities as additional tools in managing interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps involve an exchange of cash flows based on the notional principal amount and agreed upon fixed and variable interest rates. In this transaction, the Company would typically agree to pay a floating interest rate based on London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) and receive a fixed interest rate in return. On options, the Company would typically sell the right to a third party to purchase securities the Company currently owns at a fixed price on a future date. The Company had no swaps or options outstanding at September 30, 2000.

The Company's principal source of funds used to pay dividends to shareholders and service long-term debt is the dividends it receives from subsidiary banks. Various federal statutory provisions, in addition to regulatory policies and directives, limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay without prior regulatory approval. These restrictions have had no major impact on the Company's dividend policy or its ability to service long-term debt, nor is it anticipated that they would have any major impact in the foreseeable future. In addition to the subsidiary banks' 2000 profits, approximately $27.4 million can be paid to the Company as dividends without prior regulatory approval.

The primary source of capital for the Company is retained earnings. The Company paid cash dividends of $0.56 per share for the first nine months of 2000 and $0.54 per share for the first nine months of 1999. Earnings per share for the same periods were $1.38 and $1.33, respectively. The Company retained 59% of earnings for the first nine months of 2000.

Under guidelines issued by banking regulators, the Company and its subsidiary banks are required to maintain a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of 8%. Risk-based capital ratios weight the relative risk factors of all assets and consider the risk associated with off-balance sheet items. The Company must also maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The Company's Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based ratios were 7.29%, 9.06% and 10.32%, respectively as of September 30, 2000.

As of September 30, 2000, management is not aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have, or would be reasonably likely to have, a material adverse impact on the Company's liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Therefore, the Company differs greatly from most commercial and industrial companies that have significant investment in nonmonetary assets, such as fixed assets and inventories. However, inflation does have an important impact on the growth of assets in the banking industry and on the resulting need to increase equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate equity to assets ratio. Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to rise during periods of general inflation.

Management believes the most significant impact on financial and operating results is the Company's ability to react to changes in interest rates. Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide interest rate fluctuations.
