See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. S.Y. BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary reflect all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. (Bancorp) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In June, 1996, Bancorp entered into agreements to purchase 100% of the outstanding stock of the Austin State Bank in Scott County Indiana. That transaction was completed on October 1, 1996. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, financial information for Austin State Bank will be included in the consolidated financial statements beginning October 1, 1996. Effective January 1, 1996, Bancorp adopted three new accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," requires long-lived assets such as bank premises and equipment and real estate acquired in satisfaction of debt, be reviewed for appropriate valuation. SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," applies to all companies with mortgage banking operations and requires capitalization of mortgage servicing rights, regardless of whether they were acquired through purchase or origination activities. The implementation of these accounting standards did not have a significant impact on Bancorp's financial position or results of operations. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," introduces the use of a new fair value based method of accounting for stock- based compensation arrangements, but permits companies to retain the intrinsic value based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Bancorp intends to continue using the intrinsic value based method and will provide expanded disclosures related to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation in its 1996 annual report. These disclosures are not required for interim financial statements. A description of other significant accounting policies is presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 included in S.Y. Bancorp, Inc.'s Annual Report, and its Form 10-K for the year then ended. Interim results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Bancorp's common stock split 2-for-1 for shareholders of record on August 30, 1996. The split was effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend and was paid September 17, 1996. All share and per share information has been restated to reflect the stock split. (2) Allowance for Loan Losses An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30 follows (in thousands): 1996 1995 ---- ---- Beginning balance $4,507 $3,649 Provision for loan losses 540 1,080 Loans charged off ( 205) ( 505) Recoveries 46 129 ----- ----- Ending balance $4,888 $4,353 ===== ===== Information regarding impaired loans at September 30, 1996 follows: Recorded investment in impaired loans $ 856,000 Impaired loans with Statement 114 valuation allowance $ 221,000 Amount of Statement 114 valuation allowance $ 221,000 Amount of impaired loans without Statement 114 valuation allowance $ 635,000 (3) Subsequent Event On October 1, 1996, S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. purchased 100% of the common stock of the Austin State Bank (Austin) in Austin, Indiana. Austin's assets totaled $ 9million; equity totaled $1.8 million. Total purchase price was $2,675,000. Bancorp now owns two banks. Austin will be able, subject to regulatory approval, to branch in southern Indiana, a natural part of Bancorp's market area. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations This item discusses the results of operations for S.Y. Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp"), and its subsidiary, Stock Yards Bank & Trust Company ("the Bank") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and compares those periods with the same periods of the previous year. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this discussion to the "Bank" include Bancorp. In addition, the discussion describes the significant changes in the financial condition of the Bank that have occurred since December 31, 1995. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented in Part I Item 1 of this report. A. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income of $1,460,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased $372,000 or 34.2% from $1,088,000 for the comparable 1995 period. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis was $.43 for the third quarter of 1996, an increase of 30.3% from the $.33 for the same period in 1995. Return on average assets and return on average stockholders' equity was 1.71% and 19.12%, respectively, for the third quarter of 1996, compared to 1.41% and 16.37%, respectively, for the same period in 1995. Net income of $3,868,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $776,000 or 25.1% from $3,092,000 for the comparable 1995 period. Net income per share on a fully diluted basis was $1.15 for the first nine months of 1996, an increase of 22.3% from the $.94 for the same period in 1995. Return on average assets and return on average stockholders' equity was 1.52% and 17.76%, respectively, for the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1.43% and 16.17%, respectively, for the same period in 1995. The following paragraphs provide an analysis of the significant factors affecting operating results and financial condition. Net Interest Income In thousands except percentages Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- September 30 September 30 ------------ ------------ 1996 1995 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- Interest income $ 7,484 $ 6,618 $ 21,100 $ 18,504 Tax equivalent adjustment 48 52 147 124 ----- ----- ------ ------ Interest income, tax equivalent basis 7,532 6,670 21,247 18,628 Total interest expense 3,208 2,891 9,088 7,703 ----- ----- ------ ------ Net interest income, tax equivalent basis (1) $ 4,324 $ 3,779 $ 12,159 $ 10,925 ===== ===== ====== ====== Net interest spread (2), annualized 4.16% 4.24% 4.16% 4.41% ===== ===== ====== ====== Net interest margin(3), annualized 5.05% 5.20% 5.07% 5.35% ===== ===== ====== ====== Notes: (1) Net interest income, the most significant component of the Bank's earnings, is total interest income less total interest expense. The level of net interest income is determined by the mix and volume of interest earning assets, interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds, and by changes in interest rates. (2) Net interest spread is the difference between the taxable equivalent rate earned on interest earning assets less the rate expensed on interest bearing liabilities. (3) Net interest margin represents net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis as a percentage of average interest earning assets. Net interest margin is affected by both the interest rate spread and the level of non-interest bearing sources of funds, primarily consisting of demand deposits and stockholders' equity. Fully taxable equivalent net interest income of $4,324,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased $545,000 or 14.4% from $3,779,000 for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net interest income of $12,159,000 increased $1,234,000 or 11.3% from $10,925,000 for the same period last year. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 4.16% and 5.05%, respectively, for the third quarter of 1996 and 4.24% and 5.20%, respectively, for the third quarter of 1995. Net interest spread and net interest margin were 4.16% and 5.07%, respectively, for the first nine months of 1996 and 4.41% and 5.35%, respectively, for the same period in 1995. Interest rates have declined steadily since mid 1995. As discussed in the second following paragraph the Bank is liability sensitive. Variable rate loans, approximately 50% of the Bank's largest interest earning asset, reprice immediately with a change in prime rates; whereas deposits, the Bank's largest interest bearing liability, do not respond as quickly. Also, the Bank is experiencing loan growth; however, the average rate earned on these loans has decreased as rates have fallen. Thus, net interest spread and margin are decreasing. Average earning assets increased $47,592,000 or 17.4% to $320,379,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1995. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $40,269,000 or 18.4% to $258,556,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1995. Interest rate sensitivity has a major impact on the earnings of the Bank. As interest rates change in the market, rates earned on assets do not necessarily move identically with rates paid on liabilities. Proper asset and liability management involves the matching of interest sensitive assets and liabilities to reduce interest rate risk. The Bank manages its interest rate risk by primarily making variable rate loans. The Bank does, however, make fixed rate loans which it matches, along with investment securities, against longer term fixed rate time deposits. At September 30, 1996, interest bearing liabilities repricing within one year slightly exceeded interest earning assets repricing within one year. The negative cumulative interest sensitivity gap through one year was approximately 3%. A position of interest bearing liabilities repricing more quickly than interest earning assets generally allows for a negative impact on net interest income in periods of rising interest rates and a positive impact in periods of declining interest rates. Bank management is aware, however, that while interest rates on approximately 50% of the loan portfolio are contractually fixed, it will be necessary to re-negotiate rates on some of these loans if prime rate drops. In early June, 1996, the Bank entered into a two year interest rate swap contract with a correspondent bank which effectively converts certain floating rate loans to fixed rates. The notional amount of the contract is $20 million. Bancorp has the ability to effectively manage its interest sensitivity gap to control the degree of interest rate risk on the balance sheet. Provision for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is based on management's continuing review of individual credits, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans, and other such factors that, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses and selected ratios follows: Nine months ended September 30 (In thousands except percentages) ------------ 1996 1995 ---- ---- Balance at January 1 $ 4,507 $ 3,649 Provision for loan losses 540 1,080 Loan charge-offs, net of recoveries ( 159) ( 376) ------- ------- Balance at September 30 $ 4,888 $ 4,353 ======= ======= Average loans, net of unearned income $265,839 $222,926 ======= ======= Provision for loan losses to average loans (1) .27% .65% ======= ======= Net loan charge-offs to average loans (1) .08% .23% ======= ======= Allowance for loan losses to average loans 1.84% 1.95% ======= ======= Allowance for loan losses to period-end loans 1.71% 1.78% ======= ======= (1) Amounts annualized Non-interest Income and Expenses	 The following table sets forth the major components of non-interest income and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. In thousands Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------ ----------------- September 30 September 30 ------------ ------------ 1996 1995 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- ---- Non-interest income Investment management and trust services $ 603 $ 543 $1,742 $1,546 Service charges on deposit accounts 394 318 1,129 913 Gains on sales of mortgage loans held for sale 260 246 749 545 Gains on sales of securities available for sale - - 35 - Other 150 97 399 335 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total non-interest income $1,407 $1,204 $4,054 $3,339 ===== ===== ===== ===== Non-interest expenses Salaries and employee benefits $2,061 $1,652 $5,783 $4,677 Net occupancy expense 240 305 724 663 Furniture and equipment expense 363 303 1,035 819 FDIC insurance 1 ( 13) 2 236 Other 663 700 2,239 2,077 ----- ----- ----- ----- Total non-interest expenses $3,328 $2,947 $9,783 $8,472 ===== ===== ===== ===== Non-interest income increased $203,000, or 16.9%, for the third quarter of 1996, and $715,000 or 21.4% for the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same periods in 1995. Trust income increased $60,000 or 11.1% and $196,000 or 12.7% in the first nine months of 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. Trust assets under management at September 30, 1996 were $402,900,000 as compared to $343,000,000 at December 31, 1995. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $76,000 or 23.9% in the third quarter of 1996, and $216,000 or 23.7% in the first nine months of 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. Growth in deposit accounts spurred by the introduction of new deposit products and by opening of new branch offices has presented opportunities for increased fee income in this area. Additionally, rates for deposit services are raised periodically. Gains on sales of mortgage loans were $260,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $246,000 in 1995 and $749,000 in the first nine months of 1996 compared to $545,000 in 1995. The Bank operates a mortgage banking division which originatesresidential mortgage loans and sells the loans in the secondary market. As interest rates decreased in the second half of 1995 and again in February, 1996, the volume of loans originated and sold has increased. Somewhat offsetting these volume increases have been shrinking profit margins on loans sold in the secondary market. Gains on sales of securities available for sale during the first quarter of 1996 occurred when management sold lower yielding, shorter term securities for intermediate term, higher yielding securities. Other non-interest income increased $53,000 or 54.6% in the third quarter of 1996 and increased $64,000 or 19.1% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1995. The Bank has begun offering brokerage services and income from those services accounts for most of the increases. Non-interest expenses increased $381,000 or 12.9% for the third quarter of 1996 and $1,311,000 or 15.5% for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same periods in 1995. Salaries and employee benefits increased $409,000, or 24.8%, for the third quarter of 1996 and $1,106,000 or 23.6% for the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same periods in 1995. These increases arose in part from regular salary increases. Also, employees have been added throughout 1995 and 1996 with the opening of new branches. The Bank had 224 full time equivalent employees as of September 30, 1996 and 182 full time equivalents as of September 30, 1995. Net occupancy expense decreased $65,000 or 21.3% in the third quarter of 1996, and increased $61,000 or 9.2% in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to 1995. The Bank had some one time relocation expenses in the third quarter of 1995. Furniture and equipment expense increased $60,000, or 19.8%, for the third quarter of 1996 and $216,000 or 26.4% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 1995. These increases are largely due to the opening of new banking centers. In 1995 the Bank opened its Outer Loop banking center and Elizabethtown loan production office. In the first quarter of 1996, a loan production office in Lexington was opened. Expansion in facilities and technology resulted in increased occupancy and equipment expenses. FDIC insurance expense decreased by almost 100% in 1996 as compared to 1995. During the third quarter of 1995, the FDIC determined the Bank Insurance Fund had been replenished effective May, 1995. Accordingly they reduced the premium paid by well capitalized banks from 23 cents per $100 of deposits to 4 cents per $100 of deposits. Additionally, overpayments of deposit insurance premiums were refunded. Subsequently the FDIC has reduced its assessment on well capitalized banks to the minimum assessment payment allowed of $1,000 per semiannual period. Beginning in 1997 banks will begin paying a portion of the interest on debt incurred by the savings and loan bailout. Banks will pay 1.29 cents for each $100 of deposits, or $42,000 annually at our current level of deposits. Other non-interest expenses have decreased 5.3% in the third quarter and increased 7.8% in the first nine months of 1996. Again, the year to date increase is reflective of the Bank's expansion. Income Taxes	 Bancorp had income tax expense of $1,875,000 for the first nine months of 1996, compared to $1,496,000 for the same period in 1995. The effective rate was 32.6% in 1996 and 32.8% in 1995. B. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total Assets Total assets increased $48,977,000 from December 31, 1995 to September 30, 1996. Average assets for the first nine months of 1996 were $339,732,000. Total assets at September 30, 1996 increased $62,441,000 from September 30, 1995, representing a 20.1% increase. Since year end, loans have increased approximately $33.3 million; cash due from banks and federal funds sold increased $6.7 million; mortgage loans held for sale increased $1.3 million; securities available for sale decreased $1 million, and securities held to maturity increased $5.8 million. Nonperforming Loans and Assets Nonperforming loans, which include restructured, nonaccrual and loans past due over 90 days, totaled $856,000 at September 30, 1996 and $1,212,000 at December 31, 1995. This represents .30% of total loans at September 30, 1996 compared to .48% at December 31, 1995. Nonperforming assets, which include nonperforming loans and other real estate owned, (the Bank had no other real estate owned at December 31, 1995) totaled $1,242,000 at September 30, 1996 and $1,212,000 at December 31, 1995. This represents .33% of total assets at September 30, 1996 compared to .37% at December 31, 1995. C. LIQUIDITY The role of liquidity is to ensure that funds are available to meet depositors' withdrawal and borrowers' credit demands while at the same time maximizing profitability. This is accomplished by balancing changes in demand for funds with changes in the supply of those funds. Liquidity to meet demand is provided by maturing assets, short-term liquid assets that can be converted to cash, and the ability to attract funds from external sources - principally deposits. The Bank has a number of sources of funds to meet its liquidity needs on a daily basis. An increase in loans affects liquidity as the repayment of principal and interest are a daily source of funds. The deposit base, consisting of relatively stable consumer and commercial deposits, and large denomination ($100,000 and over) certificates of deposit, is another source of funds. The majority of these deposits are from long term customers and are a stable source of funds. In addition, federal funds purchased continue to be a source of funds. Other sources of funds available to meet daily needs include the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase and funds made available under a treasury tax and loan note agreement with the federal government. Also, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB). As a member of the FHLB, the Bank has access to credit products of the FHLB. These credit products provide the Bank with another source of funds. To date, the Bank has not accessed this source of funds. Bancorp's liquidity depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank. At September 30, 1996, the Bank may pay up to $8,106,000 in dividends to Bancorp without regulatory approval. D. CAPITAL RESOURCES At September 30, 1996, stockholders' equity totaled $30,520,000, an increase of $2,906,000 or 10.5% since December 31, 1995. Bank holding companies and their subsidiary banks are required by regulators to meet risk based capital standards. These standards, or ratios, measure the relationship of capital to a combination of balance-sheet and off-balance sheet risks. The values of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted to reflect credit risks. At September 30, 1996, Bancorp's tier 1 and total risk based capital ratios were 10.4% and 11.8%, respectively, compared to 11.1% and 12.0%, respectively, at December 31, 1995. These ratios exceed the 4.00% tier 1 and 8.0% total risk based capital minimums. A minimum leverage ratio, adopted by the Federal Reserve Board to assist in the assessment of capital adequacy, supplements the risk-based capital requirements. The minimum leverage ratio is 3%; however, most bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum in excess of this percentage. Bancorp's leverage ratio at September 30, 1996 was 8.1% compared to 8.4% at December 31, 1995. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
