NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
(unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation (“BKFC” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of Kentucky, Inc. (the “Bank”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Note 2 - General:
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all of the disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Except for required accounting changes, these financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position at the end of and for the periods presented. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and future results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and the fair values of financial instruments, in particular, are subject to change.
Note 3 - Earnings per Share:
Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three and nine month periods. Diluted earnings per share show the potential dilutive effect of additional common shares issuable under the Company’s stock compensation plan and warrants. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 187,720 and 416,604 options were not considered, as they were not dilutive, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 264,389 and 354,616 options were not considered, as they were not dilutive. The following table presents the numbers of shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the indicated periods:
| | Three Months Ended September 30 | | | Nine Months Ended September 30 | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | | | 2012 | | | 2011 | |
Weighted average shares outstanding | | | 7,465,926 | | | | 7,432,995 | | | | 7,459,988 | | | | 7,432,762 | |
Dilutive effects of assumed exercises of stock options, restricted stock units and warrants | | | 88,133 | | | | 55,748 | | | | 77,415 | | | | 41,332 | |
Shares used to compute diluted earnings per share | | | 7,554,059 | | | | 7,488,743 | | | | 7,537,403 | | | | 7,474,094 | |
Note 4 – Stock-Based Compensation:
Stock-based compensation in the form of options to buy stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are granted to directors, officers and employees under the Company’s incentive stock plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares.
Stock Options
The specific terms of each option agreement are determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of the grant. For current options outstanding, options granted to directors vest immediately and options granted to employees generally vest evenly over a five-year period.
The Company recorded stock option expense of $24,000 (net of taxes) and $76,000 (net of taxes) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and $51,000 (net of taxes) and $152,000 (net of taxes) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Restricted Stock Units
The specific term of each RSU award are determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of the grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at issue date. The fair value of the stock was determined using the total number of RSU’s granted multiplied by the grant date fair market value of a share of company stock. RSU’s fully vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.
A summary of changes in the Company’s nonvested shares for the year follows:
| | | | | Weighted-Average | |
| | | | | Grant-Date | |
Nonvested Shares | | Shares | | | Fair Value | |
| | | | | | |
Nonvested at January 1, 2012 | | | 0 | | | $ | - | |
Granted | | | 4,185 | | | | 25.80 | |
Vested | | | 0 | | | | - | |
Forfeited | | | 0 | | | | - | |
Nonvested at September 30, 2012 | | | 4,185 | | | $ | 25.80 | |
The Company recorded RSU expense of $36,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, there was $84,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the RRP. The cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 7 months.
Note 5 – Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and investments in money market mutual funds. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest-bearing balances with banks and short-term borrowings with maturities of 90 days or less.
Note 6 – Reclassification:
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders’ equity.
Note 7 – New Accounting Pronouncements:
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. and International accounting principles. Overall, the guidance is consistent with existing U.S. accounting principles; however, there are some amendments that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This update became effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate consecutive statements. This update became effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Proceeds on the sale of $6,944,000 of available-for-sale securities resulted in gains of $203,000 for the first nine months of 2012. No securities were sold with losses in the first nine months of 2012. Proceeds on the sale of $13,367,000 of available-for-sale securities resulted in gains of $231,000 for the first nine months of 2011, with no losses.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are evaluated for OTTI under ASC 320,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.
In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. Otherwise, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors shall be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
As of September 30, 2012, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of 227 securities, 11 of which were in an unrealized loss position of $131,000. There was no OTTI of securities at September 30, 2012. Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality (U.S. government agencies and government sponsored enterprises and “A” rated or better Kentucky municipalities), management does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery.
Mortgage-backed Securities
At September 30, 2012, 100% of the mortgage-backed securities held by the Bank were issued by U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because a decline in market value would be attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Bank does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Bank does not consider these securities to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2012.
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, securities with a carrying value of $327,242,000 and $342,288,000 were pledged to secure public deposits and repurchase agreements.

Credit Quality Indicators:
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $100,000 and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. Loans with balances below $100,000 and homogenous loans, such as residential real estate and consumer loans, are analyzed for credit quality based on aging status, which was previously presented. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention.Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

Note 10 –Fair Value:
Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Investment Securities: The fair values of securities available-for-sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). One corporate security is valued using Level 3 inputs as there is no readily observable market activity. Management determines the value of this security based on expected cash flows, the credit quality of the security and current market interest rates.
Derivatives: The Bank’s derivative instruments consist of over-the-counter interest-rate swaps that trade in liquid markets. The fair value of the derivative instruments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. The pricing is derived from market observable inputs that can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant judgment by the Bank. This valuation method is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Loans Held For Sale: Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors (Level 2).

Corporate security | | $ | 1,060 | | | Discounted cash flow | | Probability of default | | | 0 | % |
The interest rate on this security is based on interest rates paid for securities with similar credit characteristics, but the probability of default is determined through a credit quality review rather than formal ratings or other observable inputs. The interest rate adjusts to reflect current market conditions of highly rated investments, if probability of default changed significantly, the interest rate would adjust accordingly and the fair value would be updated. Management reviews this interest rate and the security’s credit quality quarterly and a market value adjustment is made if necessary pursuant to this review.

Impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a gross carrying amount of $24,747,000 with a valuation allowance of $6,254,000, resulting in a decrease in provision for loan losses of $1,189,000 for the first nine months of 2012. As of December 31, 2011, impaired loans had a gross carrying amount of $29,124,000, with a valuation allowance of $7,443,000, resulting in an increase in provision for loan losses of $1,699,000.
Values for collateral dependent loans are generally based on appraisals obtained from licensed real estate appraisers and in certain circumstances consideration of offers obtained to purchase properties prior to foreclosure or other factors management deems relevant to arrive at a representative fair value. Appraisals for commercial real estate generally use three methods to derive value: cost, sales or market comparison and income approach. The cost method bases value on the cost to replace the current property. The market comparison approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and an investor’s required return. The final fair value is based on a reconciliation of these three approaches.

The estimated fair value approximates carrying amounts for all items except those described below. The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2. Estimated fair value for both securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity is as previously described for securities available-for-sale. It is not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale, are estimated as set forth below:
For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price. The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date resulting in a Level 2 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification. The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair values of the Company’s subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of commitments is not material. Estimated fair value of standby letters of credit are based on their current unearned fee balance. Estimated fair value for commitments to make loans and unused lines of credit are considered nominal. Estimated fair value for derivatives is determined as previously described above.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
BKFC has prepared all of the consolidated financial information in this Quarterly Report in accordance with GAAP. In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, BKFC makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates.
We have identified the accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses as critical to the understanding of BKFC’s results of operations, since the application of this policy requires significant management assumptions and estimates that could result in reporting materially different amounts if conditions or underlying circumstances were to change.
The Bank maintains an allowance to absorb probable, incurred loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level the Bank considers to be adequate and is based upon ongoing quarterly assessments and evaluations of the collectability and historical loss experience of loans. Loan losses are charged and recoveries are credited to the allowance for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses are based on the Bank’s review of its historical loan loss experience and such factors that, in management’s judgment, deserve consideration under existing economic conditions in estimating probable loan losses. The Bank’s strategy for credit risk management includes a combination of well-defined credit policies, uniform underwriting criteria and ongoing risk monitoring and review processes for all commercial and consumer credit exposures. The credit risk management strategy also includes assessments of compliance with commercial and consumer policies, risk ratings and other important credit information. The strategy also emphasizes regular credit examinations and management reviews of loans exhibiting deterioration in credit quality. The Bank strives to identify potential problem loans early and promptly undertake the appropriate actions necessary to mitigate or eliminate the increasing risk identified in these loans.
The allowance for loan losses consists of two components, the specific reserve, pursuant to ASC 310,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and the general reserve, pursuant to ASC 450-10,Accounting for Contingencies. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. The specific reserve component is an estimate of loss based upon an impairment review of larger loans that are considered impaired. The general reserve includes an estimate of commercial and consumer loans with similar characteristics. Depending on the set of facts with respect to a particular loan, the Bank utilizes one of the following methods for determining the proper impairment of a loan:
| · | the present value of expected future cash flows of a loan; |
| · | the market price of the loan based upon readily available information for that type of loan; and |
| · | the fair value of collateral. |
The allowance established for impaired loans is generally based, for all collateral-dependent loans, on the fair market value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to liquidate. For non-collateral dependent loans (such as accruing troubled debt restructurings), the allowance is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted by the loan’s effective interest rate. A portion of the Bank’s loans which are impaired under the ASC 310 process carry no specific reserve allocation. These loans were reviewed for impairment and are considered adequately collateralized with respect to their respective outstanding principal loan balances. The majority of these loans are loans which have had their respective impairment (or specific reserve) amounts charged off. It is the Bank’s practice to maintain these impaired loans, as analyzed and provided for in the ASC 310 component of the allowance for loan losses, to avoid double counting of any estimated losses that may have been included in the ASC 450-10 component of the allowance for loan losses.
Generally, the Bank orders a new or updated appraisal on real estate properties which are subject to an impairment review. Upon completion of the impairment review, loan reserves are increased as warranted. Charge-offs, if necessary, are generally recognized in a period after the reserves were established. Adjustments to new or updated appraisal values are not typical, but in those cases when an adjustment is necessary, it is documented with supporting information and typically results in an adjustment to decrease the property’s value because of additional information obtained concerning the property after the appraisal or update has been received by the Bank. If a new or updated appraisal is not available at the time of a loan’s impairment review, the Bank typically applies a discount to the value of an old appraisal to reflect the property’s current estimated value if there is believed to be deterioration in either (i) the physical or economic aspects of the subject property or (ii) any market conditions. Updated valuations on 1 to 4 family residential properties with small to moderate values are generally accomplished by obtaining an Automated Valuation Model (“AVM”) or a Broker’s Price Opinion (“BPO”). Generally, an “as is” value is utilized in most of the Bank’s real estate based impairment analyses. However, under certain limited circumstances, an “as stabilized” valuation may be utilized, provided that the “as stabilized” value is tied to a well-justified action plan to bring the real estate project to a stabilized occupancy under a reasonable period of time.
If a partially charged-off loan has been restructured in a manner that is reasonably assured of repayment and performance according to prudently modified terms, and has sustained historical payment performance for a reasonable period of time prior to and/or after the restructuring, it may be returned to accrual status and classified as a TDR loan. However, if the above conditions cannot be reasonably met, the loan remains on non-accrual status.
In addition, the Bank evaluates the collectability of both principal and interest when assessing the need for loans to be placed on non-accrual status. Non-accrual status denotes loans in which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely. A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status if: (i) it becomes 90 days or more past due (120 days past due for consumer loans) or (ii) for which payment in full of both principal and interest cannot be reasonably expected.
Historical loss rates are applied to all other loans not subject to specific reserve allocations. The loss rates applied to loans are derived from analyzing the loss experience sustained on loans according to their internal risk rating. These loss rates may be adjusted to account for environmental factors. The general reserve also includes homogeneous loans, such as consumer installment, residential mortgage and home equity loans that are not individually risk graded. For these loans that are not individually risk graded, the historic loss experience of the portfolio is used to determine the appropriate allowance for the portfolios. Allocations for the allowance are established for each pool of loans based on the expected net charge-offs for one year.
In the second quarter of 2012 management developed a detailed approach to setting the environmental adjustments to the historic loss rates and discontinued the use of high and low range of reserve percentages. Management believes that this more detailed approach adds efficiencies and provides more precision to the allowance for loan losses estimations. Factors that management considers as part of this approach in setting the environmental adjustments include economic trends, loan policies, lender experience, loan growth, delinquency trend, non-performing asset trends, classified loan trends and credit concentrations.
Reserves on individual loans and historical loss rates are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions, as well as actual collection and charge-off experience.
Charge-offs are recognized when it becomes evident that a loan or a portion of a loan is deemed uncollectible regardless of its delinquent status. The Bank generally charges off that portion of a loan that is determined to be unsupported by an obligor’s continued ability to repay the loan from income and/or assets, both pledged and unpledged as collateral.
OVERVIEW
Economic Overview
Despite positive economic news in the third quarter of 2012, the overall economic recovery remains muted after a very deep recession highlighted by high unemployment, depressed real estate values and high levels of problem assets in the banking industry. The third quarter of 2012 continued to show signs of positive growth as gross domestic product expanded at an anticipated rate of 1.8% from the previous quarter, which remains well below the historical normalized 3% growth rate. For the year, the U.S. economy is anticipated to grow at 2.1% over 2011’s output. The national unemployment rate fell during the third quarter by 0.10% to 8.07%. The economy also produced 437,000 non-farm jobs in the quarter, which was a substantial recovery from the previous quarters. The expectation for the remainder of 2012 is that the U.S. economy will continue to experience muted growth. The major risks for the remainder of 2012 with respect to the overall economy will be the severity of the recession in Europe, and the impact of food and energy inflation on the consumers. Interest rates remain low as a result of the continuing actions by the Federal Reserve with respect to the target fed funds rate.
2012 Third Quarter and Nine Month Performance Overview
The Company completed the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 with a 4% and a 20% increase in diluted earnings per share respectively. These results reflect overall improving credit metrics and continued revenue growth which was offset by higher non-interest expense. In the third quarter of 2012 total loans increased $15,341,000 (1%) from the previous quarter, which was the second sequential quarter of strong organic loan growth and the largest quarterly increase that the Company has experienced in the last three years. The third quarter and first nine months of 2012 results also benefited from the elimination of the Company’s preferred stock dividends and related amortization expense as a result of the Company’s repurchase of the remaining $17 million of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), previously issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program. The 4% increase in diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 was the result of a 14% reduction in the provision for loan losses, and a 2% growth in revenue, which was offset with a 10% increase in non-interest expense as compared to the same period in 2011. The reduction in the provision for loan losses was accompanied by lower levels of problem loans from both the previous year and on a sequential basis from the second quarter of 2012. While levels of problem loans decreased, charged off loans increased from both the previous year and on a sequential basis from the second quarter. The majority of loans charged off in the third quarter of 2012 were impaired in previous quarters, which resulted in a 10% decrease in the allowance for loan losses on the balance sheet as compared to June 30, 2012.
The following sections provide more detail on subjects presented in the overview.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at September 30, 2012 were $1,721,954,000as compared to $1,744,724,000 at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $22,770,000 (1%). Cash and cash equivalents decreased $54,014,000 (40%) from $135,964,000 at December 31, 2011 to $81,950,000 at September 30, 2012. Loans outstanding increased $29,120,000 from $1,129,954,000 at December 31, 2011 to $1,159,074,000 at September 30, 2012.
As Table 1 illustrates, the increase in the loan portfolio in 2012 was the result of an increase in commercial real estate loans of $31,749,000 (6%) and residential real estate loans of $15,477,000 (6%) and was offset with a decrease in commercial loans of $12,006,000 (6%). Management expects a steady, although slow, increase in loan demand in 2012, mirroring the current economic conditions as discussed above. The Bank intends to continue to work to make loans that meet its longstanding prudent lending standards.
As discussed above, the decrease in the allowance for loan loss of $1,703,000 (9%) was the result of loans that were charged off in the third quarter of 2012 that were previously reserved for in prior quarters.
Deposits decreased $27,575,000 to $1,471,246,000 at September 30, 2012, compared to $1,498,821,000 at December 31, 2011. The largest decrease in deposits came from interest bearing transaction deposits which decreased $42,002,000, or 9% from December 31, 2011. The Bank’s interest bearing transaction accounts include public fund accounts which decreased $66,471,000 or 18% from the end of 2011. Public funds are deposits of local municipalities, schools and other public entities, and tend to be cyclical in nature with higher balances in the fourth quarter of the year as a result of property tax receipts. Also, an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $34,456,000 or 12% was offset with a $38,654,000, or 11%, decrease in certificates of deposits (CDs). Management believes the decrease in certificates of deposits is a result of the low rate environment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased from $10,803,000 ($1.45 diluted earnings per share) in 2011 to $13,135,000 ($1.74 diluted earnings per share) in 2012, an increase of $2,332,000 (22%). Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $4,196,000 ($.56 diluted earnings per share) as compared to $4,013,000 ($.54 diluted earnings per share) during the same period of 2011, an increase of $183,000 (5%). The primary reason for the increase in net income from the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2012 was a $350,000 (14%) decrease in the provision for loan losses, which was reflective of overall improving credit metrics as compared to the third quarter of 2011. Additionally, total revenue increased by $450,000 (2%), which was offset by non-interest expense, which increased by $1,072,000 (10%) for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011. As described above in the section entitled “Overview”, the third quarter 2012 results also reflect a decrease of $261,000 in preferred stock dividends and amortization resulting from the repurchase of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock from the U.S. Treasury. The increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011 included a $564,000 (11%) increase in non-interest income, which was offset by a $114,000 (1%) decrease in net interest income. Contributing to the increase in non-interest income were gains on the sale of real estate loans, which increased $214,000 (30%) and trust fee income which increased $80,000 (13%) from the third quarter of 2011, which were partially offset by a $145,000 (6%) decrease in service charges and fees in the same time period. Contributing to the increase in non-interest expense was a $558,000 (10%) increase in salaries and benefits expense. Contributing to the decrease in the provision for loan losses were lower non-performing loans, lower adversely classified loans and lower impaired loan reserves in the third quarter of 2012 versus the same period in 2011.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income decreased $114,000 (1%) in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011, while the year to date total increased $402,000 (1%) from $41,451,000 in 2011 to $41,853,000 in 2012. As illustrated in Table 2, average earning assets increased $70,577,000 or 5% from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012, while average interest bearing liabilities only increased $41,458,000 or 3% in the same period. Table 4 shows that the net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis was positively impacted by the volume additions to the balance sheet by $717,000, which was offset with a negative rate variance of $826,000. As further illustrated in Table 4, contributing to the favorable volume variance was the increase in interest income attributable to securities of $242,000. Driving the increase in interest income from securities was a $45,563,000 or 14% increase in the average balance of securities outstanding from the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012.
As illustrated in Table 2, the cost of interest bearing liabilities is .47%, while the yield on earning assets is 4.02%. With the cost of interest bearing liabilities approaching “floor” levels, if rates were to continue to fall, the effect on the Company is expected to be negative, as shown and explained below.
As illustrated in Table 2 below, the net interest margin of 3.64% for the third quarter of 2012 was 19 basis points lower than the 3.83% net interest margin for the third quarter of 2011. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 26 basis points from .73% for the third quarter of 2011 to ..47% in the third quarter of 2012, while the yield on earning assets decreased 40 basis points from 4.42% for the third quarter of 2011 to 4.02% for the third quarter of 2012. Contributing to the decrease in the net interest margin from the third quarter of 2011 was the mix of earning assets. The average balance in securities, which yielded 1.90% in the third quarter of 2012, increased on average $45,563,000 (14%) from the third quarter of 2011, while the average balance in loans, which yielded 4.78% in the third quarter of 2012, increased by only $31,954,000 (3%) from the third quarter of 2011.
The Company uses an earnings simulation model to estimate and evaluate the impact of changing interest rates on earnings. The model projects the effect of instantaneous movements in interest rates of both 100 and 200 basis points. By simulating the effects of movements in interest rates, the model can estimate the Company’s interest rate exposure. The results of the model are used by management to approximate the results of rate changes and do not indicate actual expected results. As shown below, the September 30, 2012 simulation analysis indicates that the Company is in a slightly liability interest rate sensitive position, with the net interest income negatively impacted by rising rates. As a result of the current historically low rate environment, the effects of a 100 basis point decrease in rates would also be negative to the net interest income. This is the result of a significant portion of the interest-bearing liabilities already having a cost below 1.00%.
Net interest income estimates are summarized below.
| | Net Interest Income Change | |
Increase 200 bp | | | (1.01 | )% |
Increase 100 bp | | | (0.79 | ) |
Decrease 100 bp | | | (3.64 | ) |
Table 2 & 3 below set forth certain information relating to the Bank’s average balance sheet information and reflects the average yield on interest-earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average monthly balance of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented. Average balances are daily averages for the Bank and include non-accruing loans in the loan portfolio, net of the allowance for loan losses.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Like many other financial institutions, the Bank has been significantly affected by the national economic downturn that began over four years ago. While the Bank has experienced an increase in defaults and foreclosures in this economic period, the levels of such activity have been significantly less than other regions in the country due, in part, to the fact that the Bank’s market in the northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati area did not experience as dramatic a rise in real estate values over the last several years as other markets.
Although the Bank is seeing the benefit of the current slow economic recovery, management believes that with the continuing economic uncertainty, high unemployment rates and low real estate values, the resulting pressure on earnings will remain above historical levels. This will include continuing higher than historic levels of charge-offs in the loan portfolio and, as a result, higher provisions for loan losses and a higher reserve for loan losses on the balance sheet. Higher provisions for loan losses will lead to lower earnings and slower capital growth. Management believes that loan growth experienced in the third quarter of 2012 is consistent with the slowly improving economic conditions, and management anticipates slowly growing demand for loans in the coming quarters.
As discussed above, the provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2012 reflected slowly improving economic conditions. Although the credit metrics have deteriorated significantly since the beginning of the current economic downturn, there are signs of improvement which have allowed provision expense to decrease from its previous levels. The provision for loan losses was $2,200,000 for the third quarter of 2012, compared to $2,550,000 for the same period in 2011 while the year to date total in 2012 was $5,700,000 versus $8,550,000 in 2011. The decrease of $350,000 (14%) in the third quarter reflected a decrease in the non-performing loans, adversely classified loans and impaired loan reserves in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011. While overall credit metrics show improvement, the charged off loans in the third quarter of 2012 was higher than both the third quarter of 2011 and the second quarter of 2012. As discussed above the majority of loans charged off in the third quarter of 2012 were reserved for in previous quarters, and as a result the specific reserves for impaired loans decreased $1,508,000 from the third quarter of 2011 and $1,262,000 from the second quarter of 2012. For the third quarter of 2012, net charge-offs were $3,961,000 or 1.39% of average loan balances compared to 2011 figures of $2,425,000 or 0.86% of average loan balances. As illustrated in Table 6 below, total non-accrual loans plus loans past due 90 days or more were $14,918,000 (1.29% of loans outstanding) at September 30, 2012, compared to $16,009,000 (1.43% of loans outstanding) at September 30, 2011. Management’s evaluation of the inherent risk in the loan portfolio considers both historic losses and information regarding specific borrowers. Management continues to monitor the non-performing relationships and has established appropriate reserves.
On a sequential quarterly basis, the provision for loan losses increased $500,000 or 29% from the second quarter of 2012. Contributing to this increase was specific loan reserves added for two loan relationships which were partially offset with lower levels of non-performing loans and adversely classified loans as compared to the end of the second quarter of 2012. Also, as detailed below total classified loans decreased $14,118,000 or 13% from December 31, 2011. On a sequential basis, total classified loans decreased $15,602,000 or 14% from June 30, 2012.
The aggregate amounts of the Bank’s classified assets at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:
| | 9/30/12 | | | 12/31/11 | |
| | (Dollars in thousands) | |
Special mention (risk rating 6) | | $ | 32,949 | | | $ | 31,910 | |
Substandard (risk rating 7 & 8) | | | 59,771 | | | | 74,844 | |
Doubtful (risk rating 9) | | | 0 | | | | 84 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total classified assets | | $ | 92,720 | | | $ | 106,838 | |
Non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and repossessed assets, totaled $21,110,000 at September 30, 2012 versus $17,903,000 at September 30, 2011. This represents 1.23% of total assets at September 30, 2012 compared to 1.11% at September 30, 2011. The main increase in non-performing assets was in OREO balances which increased from $1,894,000 at September 30, 2011 to $6,192,000 at September 30, 2012. This increase was primarily the result of one commercial real estate relationship that added $3,475,000 in OREO in the fourth quarter of 2011. These properties are initially recorded at their fair value less estimated costs to sell with the difference between this value and the loan balance being recorded as a charge-off. On a sequential quarterly basis OREO balances increased $242,000 or 4% as new repossessed assets outpaced sales of existing properties.
Accruing Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs). In certain circumstances, the Bank may modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due. In cases where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties or is expected to experience difficulties in the near-term, concessionary modification is granted to minimize or eliminate the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. Modifications may include interest rate reductions, extension of the maturity date or a reduction in the principal balance. Restructured loans accrue interest as long as the borrower complies with the revised terms. Total accruing TDRs were $12,270,000 at September 30, 2012 versus $13,108,000 at September 30, 2011. The Bank expects higher than normal levels of TDRs as the Bank continues to work with relationships that show signs of stress, in order to proactively manage and resolve problem loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALL”). As discussed above, the decrease in the ALL was the result of higher levels of charge offs which was offset by lower levels of specific loan reserves and lower levels of adversely classified loans. Management believes this is directionally consistent in the third quarter of 2012 with the change in the credit metrics and the continued uncertain economic conditions experienced since December 31, 2011. The ALL decreased $1,703,000 (9%) from $18,288,000 at December 31, 2011 to $16,585,000 at September 30, 2012, which decreased the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans from 1.62% at December 31, 2011 to 1.43% at September 30, 2012. The amount of the allowance allocated to impaired loans at the end of the third quarter of 2012, was $6,254,000, which was down $1,189,000 from $7,443,000 at December 31, 2011. The impairment process is described in the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of this Quarterly Report. Management believes the current level of the ALL is sufficient to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio closely and believes the provision for loan losses is directionally consistent with the changes in the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio from the year end of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012. The Bank does not originate or purchase sub-prime loans for its portfolio. Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effects of the current housing market conditions and any signs of further deterioration in credit quality on the Bank’s loan portfolio. Management believes the current economic strains will continue throughout 2012 and expects continuing higher than normal credit losses and provisioning expense in the foreseeable future.
Monitoring loan quality and maintaining an adequate allowance is an ongoing process overseen by senior management and the loan review function. On at least a quarterly basis, a formal analysis of the adequacy of the ALL is prepared and reviewed by management and the Company’s Board of Directors. This analysis serves as a point in time assessment of the level of the ALL and serves as a basis for provisions for loan losses. The loan quality monitoring process includes assigning loan grades and the use of a watch list to identify loans of concern.

As illustrated in Table 7, total non-interest income increased $1,626,000 (11%) for the first nine months of 2012, from $15,194,000 at September 30, 2011 to $16,820,000 at September 30, 2012.For the third quarter of 2012, non-interest income increased $564,000 (11%) to $5,861,000 compared to $5,297,000 for the same period in 2011.Contributing to the increase for the first nine months ended September 30, 2012 was an $883,000 (73%) increase in mortgage banking income. These gains were driven by a decrease in interest rates from the third quarter of 2011, which prompted increased demand for home mortgage loan refinancing. Other increases for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, included bankcard transaction revenue (up $297,000 or 12% from September 30, 2011) and earnings from company owned life insurance (up $68,000 or 8% from September 30, 2011), which were offset by lower service charges and fees on deposits (down $284,000 or 4% from September 30, 2011).Contributing to the increase in company owned life insurance was the purchase of $6,500,000 in additional policies in 2011.The Bank also took advantage of the current low interest rate environment to sell approximately $7,000,000 of available-for-sale mortgage backed securities for a $203,000 gain. The Bank’s available-for-sale security portfolio is made up of high quality government sponsored agency bonds which are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and therefore their credit quality was not negatively affected by the current economic recession.The increase in bankcard transaction revenue reflected consumers continued acceptance of electronic forms of payment and the resulting growth in usage of the Bank’s debit and credit card products. The Dodd-Frank Act excluded banks under $10 billion in assets from the rule that limits the interchange fees that merchants pay to banks for certain debit card transactions.

Total non-interest expense | | $ | 11,799 | | | $ | 10,727 | | | $ | 34,668 | | | $ | 31,711 | |
As illustrated in Table 8 above, non-interest expense increased to $34,668,000 in the first nine months of 2012, from $31,711,000 in the same period of 2011, an increase of $2,957,000 (9%). For the third quarter of 2012, non-interest expense increased $1,072,000 (10%) to $11,799,000 compared to $10,727,000 for the same period in 2011. Contributing to the increase in non-interest expense in the first nine months of 2012 were salaries and benefits expense (up $1,934,000 or 13% from September 30, 2011), and occupancy expense (up $203,000 or 5% from September 30, 2011) which were partially offset with a decrease in FDIC insurance expense (down $369,000 or 30% from September 30, 2011) in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense was a result of recent rule changes adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act that base FDIC insurance premium assessments on total assets instead of deposits. The increase in salaries and benefits in 2012 included approximately $241,000 in higher bonus accruals and $426,000 in higher commission expense. The added bonus accrual reflects the end of the TARP restriction on bonus pay for executives, while the increased commission expense included higher commissions paid for the higher gains on the sale of real estate loans.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
During the first nine months of 2012, income tax expense increased $366,000 (8%) from $4,804,000 in the first nine months of 2011 to $5,170,000 in the same period of 2012 as a result of higher earnings. During the third quarter of 2012, income tax expense decreased $194,000 (11%) from $1,822,000 in the third quarter of 2011 to $1,628,000 in the same period of 2012 as a result of lower earnings and additional tax credit investments. For the third quarter of 2012, the effective tax rate decreased to 27.95% compared to 29.88% for the same period of 2011. The effective tax rate decreased to 28.24% for the first nine months of 2012 compared to 29.32% for the same period in 2011. Contributing to the decrease in the effective tax rates was an increase in tax free income and added tax credit investments as compared to 2011.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank achieves liquidity by maintaining an appropriate balance between its sources and uses of funds to assure that sufficient funds are available to meet loan demands and deposit fluctuations. As indicated on the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents have decreased $54,014,000, from $135,964,000 at December 31, 2011 to $81,950,000 at September 30, 2012.
The Company’s total shareholders’ equity increased $11,051,000 from $156,570,000 at December 31, 2011 to $167,621,000 at September 30, 2012. In the first nine months of 2012, the Company paid a cash dividend of $.62 per share totaling $4,624,000 to common shareholders.
The Company’s liquidity depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank and the Company’s cash on hand. The Company needs liquidity to meet its financial obligations under certain subordinated debentures issued by the Company in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities issued by the Company’s unconsolidated subsidiary, for the payment of dividends to common shareholders and for general operating expenses. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC have legal requirements, which provide that insured banks and bank holding companies should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. The FDIC prohibits the payment of any dividend by a bank that would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. Compliance with the minimum capital requirements limits the amounts that the Company and the Bank can pay as dividends. At September 30, 2012, the Bank had capital in excess of the FDIC’s most restrictive minimum capital requirements in an amount over $47,632,000 from which dividends could be paid, subject to the FDIC’s general safety and soundness review and state banking regulations.
For purposes of determining a bank’s deposit insurance assessment, the FDIC has issued regulations that define a "well capitalized" bank as one with a leverage ratio of 5% or more and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or more. At September 30, 2012, the Bank's leverage and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.07% and 13.38%, respectively, which exceed the well-capitalized thresholds.
In 2009, the Company filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective in November 2010. This registration statement permits the Company to engage in offerings of up to $50 million aggregate principal amount of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, purchase contracts, units, warrants, rights and any combination of the foregoing. The Company utilized the shelf registration to offer common stock in connection with the $28.1 million common stock offering completed in November 2010. As of the date of this quarterly report, $21.9 million of unused capacity remains available for future use. We may in the future utilize the unused portion of our existing shelf registration statement, or any future registration statements that we may file with the SEC, to conduct subsequent registered debt or equity offerings.
